Wind whipping through my hair, we stood at a handrail where, a hundred feet below, Lower straggled on in its ramshackle way. If the evening sun had cast a golden glow, you might have called it beautiful. But it wasn’t, so it looked like a pile of crap.

We were climbing away from the dismal wet low ground onto the dismal higher ground where those who could afford to get out of the city made their homes. Party officials or crooks, most of them, or did that come to the same thing?

My dear husband, at times, will just stare,
His gaze seemingly fixed on mere air.
What has captured his eye?
The rapture? A fly?
He’s not scared, so I’d guess … not a bear.

Don't forget the #solareclipse tomorrow. This is my picture from 2015.

A lovely Neolithic knife - with its wooden handle - from a site with houses built on stilts on marshy land in Germany. Usually, the wooden part rots away and we just have the blade. This makes so much more sense!
