Weather was poor for most shots today, but there was a brief sun break on this old building at the Empire Mine in Grass Valley, California. I guess with 362,000 POUNDS of gold produced at this mine over it's 100 year existence, they could afford to keep the buildings in reasonable shape!

...(ironicamente em vespera de natal indo com Ana ver uma janela para o ceu, ja se passaram 36 anos!)..... céu e ar e terra e água... não consigo parar o andar que me parece quase voar. porque flutuo. Aí imagino um diálogo entre Narciso e Cyrano de Bergerac mais ou menos assim:
--meu amigo, você acha correto deixa-la se apaixonar por uma sombra?
--Mas pelo reflexo não é a mesma coisa?
--então qual é a diferença entre reflexo e sombra? Ambas não são frutos de luz...
--a questão não é moral, é etica!
Enfim eles que se entendam eu me ponho com a Ana:
"Noite de Natal.
Estou bonita que é um desperdício.
Não sinto nada
Não sinto nada, mamãe
Esqueci
Menti de dia
Antigamente eu sabia escrever
Hoje beijo os pacientes na entrada e na saída
com desvelo técnico.
Freud e eu brigamos muito.
Irene no céu desmente: deixou de
trepar aos 45 anos
Entretanto sou moça
estreando um bico fino que anda feio,
pisa mais que deve,
me leva indesejável pra perto das
botas pretas
pudera"

Unbelievably, there are over 31200 Buddhist temples spread around Thailand. In Thai these are called wat. One of these, the Wat Arun or the Temple of Dawn, is named after Aruna, the Indian God of Dawn. Sitting majestically on the Thonburi side of the Chao Phraya River, the legendary Wat Arun is one of the most striking riverside landmarks of Thailand. Despite the name, the most spectacular view of the glittering monument can be seen from the east side of the river at sunset, when the spires of Wat Arun make an impressive silhouette against the skyline.
This Wat or Buddhist temple is an architectural representation of Mount Meru, the center of the world in Buddhist cosmology. In the mythology of Tibetan Buddhism, Mount Meru is a place that simultaneously represents the center of the universe and the single-pointedness of mind sought by adepts. Thousands of miles in height, Meru is located somewhere beyond the physical plane of reality, in a realm of perfection and transcendence. The four-corner prang of Wat Arun, which house images of the guardian gods of the four directions, reinforces this mystical symbolism.
Love Park in Philadelphia. This is the Robert Indiana sculpture in John F. Kennedy Plaza which was first installed in 1976. I took this a few weeks ago while visiting Phillly when I spent one evening on a blue hour shoot around the downtown.
