Sacred Ground

Inspiration - Illumination


















We sent our brother John Allen off in a manner he would have fully appreciated. A wake filled with his spirit, his friends, his artwork & totems, and his writings & poetry. Conversation, music, singing & dancing, smiles & tears, and hugs. The land, the wind and the sun.

Home was filled with small children of all sizes playing hide-and-seek on the stairways and in the doors.

The moon, and then fireworks, and likely some gunfire off in the distance.

We spread his ashes over his 80 acres. These lands along the White River hold a powerful medicine, and now he has joined with it.

Dunes

The High Desert. That's an accurate name for this part of the Great Basin. I'm beginning to think in terms of years, to remember when this dry spell started.

And no, these are not snow drifts. These are dunes.

It seems I always end up making a trip to the dune fields about this time of the year. This year it got dark, and I almost missed the light. I don't think I have really adjusted to moving the clock, and the days getting so short.





The blue light is what had my attention. The shadows on the dunes were filled with a beautiful blue light.

Old Trees

I've just uploaded some more images to my long ignored flicker account. Have a look.

White Mountains, in California, at a photography workshop.


It was a beautiful spot, among groves of Bristlecone Pines, some of the oldest living organisms on the planet.
