Baltic Sunset

While the remaining Soviet art is definitely "Big, ugly and incomprehensible," Tallinn is one of the most beautiful well kept secrets of the Baltic region. I hope you will enjoy the various photos that will be posted here from 2000.

Everything is New

Wavy yellow plastic has become fascinating again through the eyes of children. It is fascinating to watch little children explore the world that we have taken for granted. It reminds us, often uncomfortably, that there is indeed much that we take for granted.

Tromping through the Tulips after the Rain

We had something like 7 or 8 inches of rain fall across the Dallas/Forth Worth Metroplex over the last few days. The flowers are heavy laden with the moisture come all at once to a dry and weary land that has been in drought for 18 months. Sometimes when what we need most comes en masse it overwhelms us such that we too have trouble bearing up under it. Nevertheless, the tulip seems a bit more lucid and the light blue pansies just more incandescent.

Зон отдыха - The Place of Rest

In Moskva (Moscow), one of the most crammed cities I have ever lived, there was a place on the southside, between metro stations Tyopli Stan and Yugo Zapednaya that was a world within a world, an antithesis within a thesis. Everything about it silently and yet forcibly led one to contemplation. You would never feel comfortable walking loudly (as American's tend to do) though this place. The trees were asking you to be quiet and deal with your thoughts, even the ones we try and entertain away.
