A bold claim

Apparently there is something industrial about three blocks down to the right. At least that’s the bold contention made by the sign; I didn’t see anything that led me to believe what I’d read.

2024

I try to keep politics out of my blog posts, but here this is, anyway.

Big Screen

I thought about making myself believe that the screen was turning into a cloud and floating away.

Or, alternatively, that the cloud was solidifying itself and becoming the screen.

Either way was equally likely.

Sunlight Rained Down

High thin clouds diffused the sunlight that was spilling onto the cemetery.

Selected for its healthful climate, the nearby installation of Fort Stanton served as a tuberculosis hospital for the Merchant Marines, hosting some 5,000 sailor patients between 1899 and 1953, 1,500 of whom are buried here in this desert location.

105 Windowpanes

I’ve lived just a few hours away from this place for decades, but until April 25, 2021, I had never heard of it. And of course I was unaware of the existence of these 105 windowpanes.

There’s no forgetting it now, though!
