Whale Fall

 

can you feel it?

the density

the light rain

a single leviathan

becoming multitudes

nutrients dispersing

from a titanic feast

the death of a colossus

yielding such life

Civil Disobedience

 

This.

And glittering bombing ICE agents?

Brilliant.

Valle Cochamó

 

I was young when I was first introduced to Valle Cochamó in Chile. The adults around me at the time felt it was inevitable that the area would eventually succumb to development.

More than thirty years later, it looks like conservation efforts may ultimately succeed. I think there are roughly two months left to raise the funds needed to purchase this land and protect it?

An incredible combination of luck and effort over decades made this precious moment of hope and possibility a reality.

 Cochamó por siempre

Days Of Awe

 

pushing off from the bank

after a long scout

oh, the nerves

in the calm water

above the rapid

lining up landmarks

in anticipation

as the river pulls you

towards the horizon

An Idea

 

Ben is drawing in a new style I think would translate beautifully to rugs. I found a company in India that can make them in a 5' by 7' size for 30,000 rupees a piece. I want to investigate options further before pulling the trigger, but I like the idea of one of these in his room.
