is that what it says? it's beautiful.

[myasma.livejournal.com]

no, only my observation.

Manzanar was a camp where my government inprisoned japanese-americans during the second word war.

I visited the ruins yesterday and felt it to be an intensely spiritual place.

[zhenzhi.livejournal.com]

still beautiful. even more so. :-)

[myasma.livejournal.com]

i'm planning to write about it--it was so powerful.

[pasticcio.livejournal.com]

Wow ... the picture is powerful enough.. can't imagine the actual feeling of BEING there.

How tall is the monument? .. I can't tell what is at the base of it ... is that a person sitting down?

[myasma.livejournal.com]

it's about 10 feet tall. I think that thing at the base is a weed.

Isn't it past your bedtime?

[pasticcio.livejournal.com]

10 feet? Well, it looks more like it's 100 feet tall ... a weed at the base... how boring is that?

I'm up late .. can't sleep.

[myasma.livejournal.com]

i can't sleep either.

happy canada day!

[pasticcio.livejournal.com]

Merci beaucoup!

We're going to the fireworks later. I just hope the 'skeeters don't eat us alive. Are you coming to Canada soon?

[myasma.livejournal.com]

I'm thinking I'll be in Canada about the third week of july, but it is still hazy, because I haven;t found a suitable person to keep an eye on my cats yet.

[pasticcio.livejournal.com]

Okie dokie, well I'll just have to keep watching this space for more info then, huh? :)

How many cats do you have?

[myasma.livejournal.com]

somewhere between 15 and 22.

[myasma.livejournal.com]

haha--no--only two--I need sleep!

I wish I knew what the characters meant - but yes, I sense the same feeling.

What a fine photograph, and what a powerful place. I look forward to reading your impressions.

beautiful- I like the little peek of mountain peaks behind the monolith:)

[tiwonge.livejournal.com]

You stole my comment:

Ooh, mountains!

[myasma.livejournal.com]

the mountains loom large over the whole place--I'll post some more pictues later that show that.

[myasma.livejournal.com]

It was the pictures and words that you posted that put it in my mind to go. I'm glad I did.
