The most hostile shirt-sleeve environment in the solar system...and, when the sun goes down, our best window into the wonders ahead. A capture from Death Valley at night: "Where We're Going".

There's nothing else like it: when the light of the sun dims, the colors of the air start to fade, and you know you'll soon behold the universe as it truly is...

My capture of such a moment at the Grand Canyon: "Do Trees Dream of the Big Sky?".

Badwater Basin: perhaps the most hostile shirt-sleeve environment in the solar system. Where better to spend a Thanksgiving night than such a place where you can see a window into eternity? To "Where We're Going"...

From Death Valley, with love to the stars: November 2024.

A few weeks ago, I paid a visit to the "Aztec" Ruins National Monument. Aztec is in quotes because the site was misattributed to Aztecs. I suppose it was too much to ask the people whose families have lived in this area for a millennium.

But I digress, this was very interesting insight into an ancient culture. I hear Chaco canyon is much more extensive, but I'll have to save it for another trip. This site is within a mile of the New Mexico town of Aztec, so quite accessible.
Notable is the restored great kiva. It was quite an experience walking through, imagining the past. I never know quite how much to trust these restorations, but I hope they're at least mostly accurate.

Long after the last man's voice is but an echo in the river of souls, in this place the stars will rise, awaiting a mind to bring them into being once again...

My capture of a November night in Badwater Basin, "True Sky".
