you’ll never sink when you are with me
I went to the Salton Sea four years ago and just lately took another look at the photos I’d made on the trip.
Some of them appealed to me now more than they did then – and this is one of them.
I do not know what the artist (or artists) intended to convey with this installation in the Salton Sea. Pyramids are said to be linked to funeral rites as a passing of existence beyond time…this one in the dying sea seems especially poignant.

Y’all! I did a thing that was SO RUDE.
I ignored my “real” camera, all set up on a tripod and patiently waiting for me to decide what I was going to photograph. And instead, I went ahead and used my phone camera to get this shot. It just goes to show.

Of course, when this town was settled and named Mecca, it was a name with great connotations, with grand visions of a beautiful life beside a thriving inland sea.
Now it seems sort of an ironic name.
But there ARE lots and lots of lots for sale.

And you’re limned
In light, golden and thin
(A pair of lines from Bruce Cockburn’s lovely song “Look How Far” seem particularly relevant here.)
