Spent the day up on Mt. Rainier yesterday with my Boy, Ryan Dyar. It was a boom and bust kind of day. Boom: Got to catch up with my good friend, who I hadn't seen in awhile. Bust: You couldn't even see the mountain. (PS... GREAT forecast, weather people. You guys rock with your "clearing at 5pm" predictions). Boom: I got to watch a woman come very close to driving her car into a Subway. Bust: We went to see the Fall color on Rainier. Ummm.... don't bother. Boom: At 80 mph, we managed to miraculously miss a clearly suicidal, elephant-sized raccoon. I honked at it, but by the time I got to the horn, I was about 3 miles past. I'm not sure it got the point. Bust: I reconfirmed that I'm fat and out-of-shape. Boom: (Always end on a boom). As you can see from this image, there are wildflowers in full bloom up on Paradise. I'm not kidding.... Fields of Lupine, Paintbrush, Yellow things, Monkey-somethings, Aster. It's flipping October (basically), and you could STILL shoot nice fields of flowers (if you could see the mountain). So you have fall colors and wildflowers in the same section of the park (albeit at quite different altitudes). Strangest thing I've seen since at least Monday.
No, I did not upload the wrong picture. I just didn't have a good story behind this one. I went to the Slots; I took pictures. I had a request for a "Cliff Notes Description", and THAT would have been it! I just thought this was a cool section of the Canyon, as you can see the etchings of floods past in the walls. You clearly DON'T want to be down here when it rains.
Happy Wacky Wednesday
I guess I'm not supposed to put my website address here, so it's in My Profile if anyone cares.

Hans Haacke - Gift Horse
Proposed Materials: bronze, electroluminescent film
Instead of the statue of William IV astride a horse, as originally planned for the empty plinth, Hans Haacke proposes a skeleton of a riderless, strutting horse. Tied to the horse’s front leg is an electronic ribbon which displays live the ticker of the London Stock Exchange, completing the link between power, money and history. The horse is derived from an etching by George Stubbs, whose studies of equine anatomy were published the year after the birth of the reputedly decadent king, whose statue was abandoned due to a lack of funds. Haacke’s proposal makes visible a number of ordinarily hidden substructures, tied up with a bow as if a gift to all.
Haacke’s early work employed physical and organic processes, such as condensation, in what he called ‘systems’, until his focus shifted to the socio-political field of equally interdependent dynamics. For the last four decades Haacke has been examining relationships between art, power and money, and has addressed issues of free expression and civic responsibilities in democratic societies. Haacke’s practice is difficult to categorise, moving from object to image to text, from painting to photography, at times of a provocative nature.
Hans Haacke was born 1936 in Cologne, Germany. He lives and works in New York.
for utata ip 94, which requires:
1 - office supplies
2 - ice
3 - high grain (or noise)
In the days before computer typesetting we worked on film; I used the sharp little nib thing to scratch things off in final corrections. I've kept it since the early 1970s. The red colour is just a reflection from my coffee machine - I put the sheet of ice over my sink.
included here are a magpie lark, a willy wagtail, a spotted dove and a red wattlebird. This etching is made of four separate copper plates each one 6 x 6cm.
