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.

you can’t tell me there is no mystery
If you’ve been around this place for very long, you know that my mind sometimes connects (seemingly, usually, at random) my images with specific song lyrics. This time it was the line “you can’t tell me there is no mystery” from Bruce Cockburn.
This photo was made through a screened window on the back of the sad little trailer I’ve posted a couple of other photos of. Everything here is now and will forever be mysterious to me.

A dubious claim
Well, sure, the sign does say “open.” But there is not one single other indication that this is indeed the case. (For example, there’s this photo of the back of the place.)
