Corsewall Point, North Rhins, Scotland

Beneath the sea at Corsewall Point is a remarkable rocky shelf, the Clyde Sea Sill, which stretches across to the Mull of Kintyre. Here the cool salty waters of the North Channel, between Scotland and Northern Ireland, meet the warmer waters of the Firth of Clyde.

the ancient indigenous burial earthwork called Criel Mound (AKA the South Charleston Mound) in West Virginia USA; attributed to the Adena culture (250 B.C. - 150 B.C.)

Somewhere in the West

Continuing my month long series of posts with images made in New Mexico with the Great Divide as my focus or jumping off point: a few images from the dusty town of Quemado, New Mexico.

We see the Sacred Heart Catholic Church (with what appear to be a facsimile of Michelangelo's Pietà, from St. Peters, in a small shelter out-of-doors), the local post office, and the office building from where Walter de Maria's Lightning Field is administered by the DIA Art Foundation. Visiting this famous earthwork from 1977 is on my bucket list, but always seems to be outside of my shooting schedule.
