20070322_6663...Boulder as a source of Enlightenment
Made by listorama
I am driven to seek Enlightenment by becoming One With The Rock. The rock is always sandstone, especially Moabian sandstone, which is the richest kind---and it's not even mountain-grown! Enlightenment is easily achieved on vast expanses of the rock such as fins, blobs, and slabs. Occasionally, when I'm far from such features and feel in need of Psychic Mineral Union, I take what I can get as it were. On a hike around Monitor and Merrimac buttes I was overcome by a need to understand the universe, and the only medium available was this boulder. After a prolonged session of meditation in this position I was jolted out of my expanded reverie by the annoying tingling produced by a family of vampire scorpions crawling up my leg---inside my pants. It's a real psychic bummer when Mother Nature's critters ruin an attempt to fly through a galactic vortex. The remainder of the hike was of little interest after this disappointment. As always, my photographic assistant (Joe Tripod) just stood around while all this took place. That's his forte. He completely understands his universe and does not need to meditate. Vampire scorpions avoid him.


20070322_6152...Friendly Floridians frightfully far from the famous, formidible, flora-filled Everglades
Made by listorama
I met these friendly people from Florida while they were taking a break from riding all-terrain vehicles at Monitor Butte. This spot seems out in the middle of nowhere for someone who has ridden six miles (9.6km) over rough dirt roads, so they were rather surprised to see me approach on foot. I told them that I had traveled only 1.5 miles (2.5km) to reach this place. This is one of a series of shots I took of this couple. Subsequent images depict the action of the woman's right hand and the man's reaction thereto. Those photos cannot be displayed here. Photographed during a cross-country hike from SR 313 in Sevenmile Canyon to Monitor and Merrimac buttes. Geotagging is approximate.
