Frankenstorm(king)'s Monster

I passed the hurricane quite comfortably in relatively untouched Philly, so I have no photos of dramatic destruction and the raw power of nature, hubris of man and his works, etc.  Instead, here is a view of Zhang Huan's "Three-Legged Buddha" at the Storm King Art Center.

Ruins on the Mountain

Looking down the Khumbu valley towards the inexorable, inevitable evening clouds rising over Ama Dablam.  These ruins are on the east side of the river, across from the "village" of Duhgla.  We...should not have been on that side of the river as the sun set!

On the Terrace

The thermal terraces of Mammoth Hot Springs, Yellowstone.

Painterly

Looking down on the thermal pools that make up the aptly named Artists' Paintpots, Yellowstone.

'Sworthy

The Andy Goldsworthy wall, Storm King Art Center, a fall day.

Halfway to the "Wedding Day"

Yours truly putting up Wedding Day, 10b, as the sun sets behind the dihedrals of Smith Rock.  For an easy route, this had a bit of  a heady crux for me.  Stood there like an idiot for a while before I could commit- sometimes a good no-hands rest is a liability!  And while I was dithering, the guy on the 12+ around the corner whipped out of his crux about five times.

Magic Market

The night market.  Yangshuo, southern China.
