    … this scene exists, but other than in the Painted Desert I have no idea where … I flew over an interesting earthscape, kicked the plane over in a steep bank and shot pretty much straight down righted the plane and continued on my way and I like it … hope you do too. This is an amazing little planet we live on … wonder what this scene will look like in another thousand years or so … perhaps it will be covered in ice and snow; there once was a lot of water here.

    A different day today with an early morning flight over to Prescott to get the transponder re-certified and then on the way back I was thinking of heading up to the peaks and back out over the Painted Desert, but as I climbed out of Prescott I began to wonder and on the way to 15,500’ it was apparent that the air quality was such that it would be a monumental waste of time as a smokey haze blanketed the earth as far as I could see in any direction. I quit the climb at 12,000’ over Mingus, killed the engine and had a nice sled ride back into Sedona; didn’t take a single photo either. Every forest has the goal to get the smoke up and out of their local area and sometimes it actually happens, but then there are other forest districts that do the same thing and eventually everyone is dumping their smoke on everyone and it is hard to source it.

    A quiet day coming up tomorrow; just going to be hanging around here and cutting and working on images.  Quiet days are good once in a while.

    Have a good day today, be kind to those you meet and greet even though they may not have voted the same way as you … life is good as are most people.

    Cheers

    At nightfall…though I know I shall sometime no more
    Open my eyes to the light or day, I am one who looks at stars when
    Unchained from the work-bench at Nightfall.
    They are a sign that I am not ephemeral,
    Not you, nor you, whoever you are.
    The dawn comes and the dark and the sign sparkling in the brooding night,
    Forever and forever.
    — Max Ehrmann

    Baby Boomer Hippies
    Baby Boomer Blues
    By Tommy Acosta
    If you are a Baby Boomer and are reading this, STOP right now and click off the page because it’s one of the most depressing things I have ever written. But if you are in the mood to wallow in darkness and self-pity, read on. Baby Boomers, what happened? Has time so betrayed us, now, that we are but a decade or two away from finishing our stay here on this planet? What happened to those of us who grew our hair, protested against the unjust wars of our time and dominated three decades with the best music ever made and played? Looking back at videos of us at concerts, rocking to the Beatles, Stones, Yes, Prince, The Who, Metallica, Cream, Hendrix, Pink Floyd, Beach Boys, Kiss, etc., we look at ourselves and we are fat, old, or bald. Sickness racks us. Body parts are failing, and we are getting closer and closer to our expiration date. We had dreams. We thought we would bring peace to the world. We marched in great numbers on Washington against the killing war in Viet Nam. We wanted to bring an end to evil. And we failed. Miserably. Read more→
