Nature vs. Man Made



I hope this image from a hike on a trail at Red Rock Canyon outside Vegas demonstrates how much more the natural qualities of the landscape are intensified when you have something man made, like this sign, that heightens the juxtaposition. This part of the Mojave Desert is very, very dry.

A guiding aesthetic concept in the midst of disappointing, worrisome and continued drought here in Chicago. Yup, some of the bulbs are starting to poke up in what passes for my garden through very, very dry soil.
