Sonoran Negative

Sun leans low,
half-caught in the cactus ribs—
its body broken
into light & shadow.

Above, clouds drift,
wisps scattered
like torn paper,
like smoke
from some far-off fire.

The desert does not move.
Stone listens.
Thorn remembers.
Even the horizon
waits.

A Tucson Sunset — B&W by kenne

The power of stories

and sunsets become

daily escape hatches

from the tragic realities 

of human existence.

Doubtful Canyon Signpost — Panorama by kenne

A lonely sign
on the hill
has no
directions
if it did
we would
be doubtful.

Joy and I would go to one of our favorite ‘getaways,’ New Orleans.

Big Easy dreaming
Strolling through the French Quarter
Existential being.

Dead pines humming in the wind

BoliviaCable Cars Connect El Alto Plateau With La Paz In The Valley — Images by kenne

A PAZ and EL ALTO, Bolivia — In these two cities, geography and rank stand in inverse relation. La Paz — the seat of government, old money, and a lighter-skinned elite — sits in a valley. Above it on a high plateau is the frenetic city of El Alto: poorer, younger, and generally darker-skinned. La Paz has always looked down on its upstart younger sibling above.

Now, that relationship is being challenged, and this urban Möbius strip, where down is up and up is down, is getting a new twist. A mass-transit aerial cable-car system, a cross between a ski gondola and an elevated train, is being installed to better connect them, chipping away at the physical barriers and possibly some of the psychological ones.

Today the sea is calm.

Shadows move on the sand.

Tonight the winds blow.

The moon on the water.

Moon beneath the winds.

Stars stay on the night.
