Located in the hills above Lake Chelan is Echo Valley, one of the few remaining small, family-oriented ski areas in Washington. Escalating cost of liability insurance has forced the closure of numerous small-scale ski areas, but this is Echo Valley's 51st year of operation.
The open book - at the moment - Dante's Inferno:
Dante Alighieri’s Inferno, the first part of The Divine Comedy, is one of the most profound and haunting literary works ever written. A journey through Hell itself, it follows Dante as he is guided by the Roman poet Virgil through the nine circles of damnation. Each level of Hell reflects a specific sin, punishing souls in ways that mirror their earthly transgressions.
At its core, Inferno is a deeply philosophical and moral exploration of justice, sin, and redemption. Yet, in today’s turbulent world—marked by war, displacement, and a growing sense of despair—it resonates with an unsettling urgency. The Infernal abyss, where the damned endure suffering tailored to their sins, mirrors the consequences of unchecked power, cruelty, and corruption in our own era.
Through its grotesque imagery and chilling visions of eternal torment, Inferno forces us to confront the darkness within human nature. What happens when ambition turns to greed, when ideology becomes fanaticism, when power leads to destruction? From political betrayal to the perversion of justice, Dante’s Hell is not merely a medieval vision—it is a mirror to our times.
Inferno teaches us about moral responsibility, about how choices shape fate, and how redemption may only come through self-awareness and transformation. In an age where the world teeters on the edge of catastrophe, Dante’s descent into the abyss serves as a stark reminder: Hell is not just an afterlife—it is what we create on Earth when we abandon reason, empathy, and hope.
The Descent
I walked a path of bitter stone,
where silence wept, where winds had grown
too thick with screams of those who fell—
each bound within their private Hell.
The traitors writhed in frozen graves,
the tyrants burned, yet cursed their slaves.
The greedy choked on molten gold,
the wrathful drowned in rivers cold.
Their echoes reached through time and space,
their crimes reborn in modern face.
For power still corrupts the soul,
and war still swallows light whole.
Each circle bore a name we know,
each crime repeats in endless flow.
The sins of men—their poisoned breath—
still weave their threads through life and death.
And yet, beyond that cursed descent,
where fires rage and souls repent,
a whisper stirs—a single spark—
a hope to lead us from the dark.
Three Haikus
Wars carve out new hells,
fires rise, but so do ghosts—
Dante saw it all.
Frozen tongues betray,
greed drowns in its own hunger,
shadows dance through time.
Hell is not so far,
it breathes beneath iron skies—
listen, and you'll hear.

My final project animated movie [*Echo].
The movie tells the story of a strange kind
of girl who only tries to find her place in the world.
you are welcome to go and watch it:
I like the echo on the car, like the yellow color of the logo, and the form, just look at the ornaments around the ankle, and the arms.
The car, which belongs to the caterer of the railways, has nothing to do with the group.

Echo is the mother of Peep and Ember, whose photographs I posted earlier. Still learning the T2i on the ground before I put it into the air.
No, I wasn't harassing her when I made this. She really does look that stressed all the time.
