Santa Fe Workshops – forgotten dreams.photos

burned and packaged

The night before last, we heard sirens and those neighbors nearby could see the flames and smell the smoke. The fire department out here is good and it needs to be. When it gets dry here, it really gets dry and it only takes the slightest spark to get the whole thing going. Someone threw a firecracker from the window of their car. They just lit it and threw it out of the car…no thought for the consequences. The next day cyclists stopped to see the damage that nearly consumed one nearby house.

For a pleasant surprise, I suggest clicking on this thumbnail for the uncropped, full sized view. What you see on top is an image that has been cropped by the web design software. “Square” is the correct and original ratio for this image. Click!

dodge what?

A week or so ago I took the Solis down to Albuquerque for some service. The dealership had this old car parked out front and I was immediately attracted to it. It is light years away from the Solis Pocket that I had taken in for service. But there was “something” about it that drew me in.

green man syndrome

Traveling around Europe, I saw carved architectural adornments known as “the green man”. He shows up everywhere as a part human, part plant creature. Some of these are very old, certainly as far back as early medieval. In Appalachia you can still find carvers who create the same images and have no idea about the “green man” connection. I think those images in Europe stuck with me on some important level.

Sometimes I just have to try things like this. We’ll see where this goes.

  Thanks. Sometimes I think that I”m a frustrated mystic living adrift in a modern world. Did I just describe a misfit? Maybe.

holding a flat stone

Quite a while ago I was reading some Nostradamus. Who knows if this is real or made-up. I don’t know and I’ve never dug into it. One of his stories, written sometime in the mid 1500’s, describes a man standing at the southern shore of England holding a flat stone in his hand. And by speaking into this stone he was able to communicate with a man on the other side of the Channel. Why that story should pop into mind defies me. But, what the heck, I liked the image on its own.
