I've been feeling pretty melancholy today & about an hour ago I finally put my finger on it.
9/11
I mean, I knew it was the anniversary but for some reason I hadn't put the two together.

Andy Goldsworthy: a selection
I first learned of him as a maker of utterly beautiful cairns and other exemplars of drystone masonry. Some examples follow.
He often builds a "beehive-teardrop" sort of shape.
A near-parabola in undressed slate.
What a craftsman.
This is so much harder than it looks
A transitional piece showing what he might do with other media ... color/shading gradation for the win

Looks impossible.

No way I could do that. He has both skill (born of vast experience) and a talent for reading how rocks join.

Thanks for sharing, inspirational, I'd love to build a cairn like those.

I'd love to have somebody build a cairn like that, here. Let's combine our futile fantasies. There's no limit to the free fantasy ale and bud I'll provide while you're plainly working hardly

This is a natural and very rare ice disk. The headline cracked me up: "Nature Imitates Andy Goldsworthy".

when you see the scale of it, it puts things in perspective. we're tiny and inconsequential. just clouds, just the most insubstantial of things, can devastate our whole society. and we keep doing everything we can to make things worse.
