Arc of prehistory 2 - a photo on Flickriver

            Some days I’m not sure what it bends toward, but some days are encouraging.

Today is Earth Day.  So much of my photo work draws from the earth, and celebrates elements that remain relatively unchanged by humanity.  It’s nice seeing people paying tribute to the planet and its environment today, in whatever way is meaningful for them, but for me it’s an image of the earth’s natural elements, as it’s shaped itself, free of overt human projections upon it.

And it’s also Poetry Month:
“How beautiful when we first beheld it…
Now the spoiler has come: does it care?
Not faintly. It has all time. It knows the people are a tide
That swells and in time will ebb, and all
Their works dissolve. Meanwhile the image of the pristine beauty
Lives in the very grain of the granite,
Safe as the endless ocean that climbs our cliff…”
— Robinson Jeffers, “Carmel Point”
