… today I began the fun trips re-visiting volcanic cinder cones in the San Francisco Volcanic Field … these trips are on the ground and a neat comparison of photos from above and from the surface.

The first outing was to S-P Cinder Cone, which is about 29 miles north of Flagstaff and 5 miles west of US 89 which heads north out of Flagstaff and heard up to Page. The Photo of above was shot from south of the cone looking north. The perfection of this cone is amazing and you can see the roughly 5 miles of lava flow that was emitted from the base of the cone and stretches a little over 5 miles out.

S-P tops out at 7021 feet and the prominence of the cone is 702 feet, that is the elevation above surrounding terrain. The lower shot I took from about a half mile west (left) of the cinder cone and from a field north west of the cone … near the road that passes above the cone. We also drove around to the south side (bottom of the photo) and got some nice shots from there.

All in all, a beautiful day and hope yours was too. Back on Monday morning.

Cheers and keep breathing.

Ted

The book of day and the book of night burst with wonder, testifying that there is more in the world than we, and that we shall be yet be other than we are.

O that I could sing a song that would soften the heart of the world!

But I cannot; and my wild cries are a picture that is faded, a harp with loosened chords, a reed that is broken. The fires of my soul turn to ashes upon the page.

As a child of the ’60s, I grew up hating war—protesting and demonstrating against them, uncovering as a writer the global military-industrial complex, and seeking peace with my pen. Through the years, I saw myself as a herald—someone who could help people, through my writings, liberate themselves from programmed ignorance and institutionalized stupidity. Well, now that I am in the third act of my life, my understanding of how the world works has changed.
