Being "Up a creek without a paddle" is one thing, but what happens when a Jedi sticks their light saber into the creek?

The water flashes to steam then he gets lost in the fog

The characteristic most unappreciated about Florida is the quality of the light and also the clouds. I've been taking pictures for 30 years and have rarely captured it.

In the 1950s and 60s there was a a group of Black Florida artists who frequently caught this special light.

Black artists could not hang their photographs in galleries where the tourists went to shop. Instead they set up road side stands and sold their art cheaply from the road. Hence the catagory "highway" artists.

Their paintings were cheap to buy then; around $25. Now they fetch thousands of dollars. Sometimes hundreds of thousands.

The light in the southern states is golden, very different from the thin, weak, pale light in the Rocky Mountains. I know the quality of this color so well.

I was tidying up some drawers and found a picture from a place called Røros, I was there a long time ago.



And just as I was about to put it in a box I saw something. There's a dog in the picture. Never noticed that before. So that's one random dog.



I wonder where it lived and what its name was. I think I'll put this in a frame and hang it on the wall. Just because of that dog.

Is this an old home? Do people still live there? The rock lined path is interesting.

This bird stands 4 feet tall with a wingspan of up to 8 feet. It is called the Shoebill Stork. I would not want to meet one in person.

I was once arriving for an interview, and my hostess wanted to identify herself as an environmentalist. The Club of Rome report had recently come out with the news that if everybody on Earth were to live like a middle-class Roman, we'd run out of stuff. So, she led off with "I think there has to be a reduction in population."
I let that fully ripen, and then leaned in to confide "Well, yes. I have a little list too."
As the comedians say, that one really killed.

Yes, Røros is an old mining town. Copper. It began in 1644. The people who live there have preserved many of the old log homes. So it's a tourist attraction, people can walk around in the small gravel streets with these old rustic homes everywhere. It's a nice place. It's one of the eight UNESCO World Heritage Sites in Norway.
