2022: Always an interesting perspective seeing something on Google Earth and then actually seeing it in the field. The Ooraminna plunging anticline, near Alice Springs, with fossiliferous Cambrian sediments.

Obsessing is what has kept me alive. Obsessions feed life! Planting the seed, watering the plant, a heavy bodied faith and firm belief.

“Every landscape is a locality, an individual piece in the infinitely varied mosaic of the earth. Such a viewer begins by being at once comprehensive and naive: by encompassing all and accepting everything he [or she] sees as being of some interest. It is landscape as environment, embracing all that we live amidst, and thus it cultivates a sensitivity to detail, to texture, color, all the nuances of visual relationships, and more, for environment engages all of our senses, the sounds and smells and ineffable feel of a place as well. Such a viewer attempts to penetrate common generalizations to appreciate the unique flavor of whatever he [or she] encounters.”
