Solstice Marker

This is actually the Winter Solstice Sunrise taken a year ago in 2009 – and that’s my hillbilly sundial casting this once-a-year shadow.  It was too cloudy for shadows this year – but it would have looked the same yesterday morning…

Give Me Long Legs To Stride Across the Valley

Give Me Long Legs To Stride Across the Valley

My shadow stretches toward Cedar Canyon even before I start the hike. At first it looks like I may be standing in front of a board-fence or something like that – but those horizontal shadows are actually cast by stone-steps leading down to the beginning of the trail…

Taken at the Cedar Falls trailhead at Mather Lodge, Petit Jean State Park, Arkansas – on Halloween Morning, 2009.

A Scantuary for Old Light and Shadows

Published: August 26, 2010

A Sanctuary for Old Light and Shadows

This is an old Church of Christ / Community Center in Hopper, Arkansas.  (On the edge of the Ouachita National Forest, near Norman and Caddo Gap.)  The building is over 100-years old, and though services have moved to a newer building next door, you can still enter the ground-floor of this relic and look around.  It’s actually in surprisingly good shape!

This is a shot of the interior, taken right after an intense thunderstorm passed and it was still drizzling outside.

This is not only one of my most-popular images, but a personal favorite as well…  I love the way the light and shadows do not seem to push each other aside or blot each other out – but pool around each other and find their own places in this atmosphere that is thick with a soft, quiet mood…
