    … a late afternoon flight today with the intent to get some great sunset shots up at the peaks and with the snow on the peaks I expected to get some beautiful shots. Once in the air and above the plateau a different scene emerged … hazy smokey air everywhere I could see. ‘tis the time they burn slash piles … why not mechanically get rid of these concentrated messes instead of putting them into the air? Or just leave them to recycle naturally; slash piles are not part of the natural order, nor is burning them.

    So with lousy air, it seemed a good idea to go low over the forest and shoot light and shadow like the photo enclosed tonight; I was less than a thousand feet over the forest and thus very little air to shoot through so I got nice bright photos. Not sure exactly where I was when I shot it, but it was west of Rogers lake and a lot of roads in the forest there; maybe a development of some kind. Anyhow, it was fun to be in the air and going low to get shots like this.

    A new week underway … enjoy the beauty around you wherever you are … it is there, just look for it.

    So each one to his wish, and as for me,
    I sit tonight and wait
    To find the answers to my soul in me,
    And in the beauty of the sky and sea.

    The Symbolism of Jan. 6

    By Tommy Acosta
    Don’t mess with symbols. Just ask author Dan Brown’s character Robert Landon. The worth of symbols cannot be measured. Symbols make the world-go-round. Symbols carry the weight of a thousand words and meanings. Symbols represent reality boiled down to the bone. Symbols evoke profound emotions and memories—at a very primal level of our being—often without our making rational or conscious connections. They fuel our imagination. Symbols enable us to access aspects of our existence that cannot be accessed in any other way. Symbols are used in all facets of human endeavor. One can only feel sorry for those who cannot comprehend the government’s response to the breech of the capital on January 6, with many, even pundits, claiming it was only a peaceful occupation. Regardless if one sees January 6 as a full-scale riot/insurrection or simply patriotic Americans demonstrating as is their right, the fact is the individuals involved went against a symbol, and this could not be allowed or go unpunished.
