Description

I should probably explain why I haven’t been around for a while.

A few months ago I put down my camera and put on my running shoes to begin training for a 48 hour fixed time race to bring in the new year. It didn’t end well.

Going forward, I want to put down my Nikes and pick up my Nikon. As soon as my broken finger heals, I want to go out and take some pictures.

In the meantime, here is a repost from a few years ago, when the Trump administration proposed the removal of this place from the protection of the Grand Staircase/Escalante National Monument. Nowadays, things are looking better for the future of my hoodoo friends.

The photo has been lightly edited, and the text, below, somewhat more.


Memento Mori (The Queen)

Daughter of ancient sea and flowing lava conceived and buried after a million centuries rising her crown choosing her as the land falls away

She has lived through it all seen fantastic things come and go in a stream of deep time ending with the arrival of man her assassin

She has not much longer to exist …

what wind earth and water would do slowly man will accomplish in an instant

And so I come to her court cloud moon and stars this beautiful woman who has endured,

like me soon to be no more

to sleep at her feet

and dream
