Was thinking about this thread today and actually couldn't find it for a time. I had better post some photos of the Lawrence ranch or other related photos before everyone entirely forget this thread exists. I will try to do so on the weekend.
Here's some photos until we pick our next short story to discuss....

I wondered what became of this thread, nice photos. I really like the painting
Hi Dark Muse, long time no see. Yes, I was getting worried this thread was lost in the archives; so I thought I had better take some action to pull it back up to page one. I am glad you like the photos. I have more I can post. I need to get my main file off my old disks and onto this computer. My generous friend, Lynne, recently went to Las Vegas and surprised me with a copy of Lawrence's book of paintings when she got back; I had been toying with the idea of buying it. I need to actually read the whole thing as well; I am sure it is interesting. Some were confiscated back in the day when he had a one man show in London. I will look that up and post all about it, if you are interested. His paintings caused a real scandal at that time of history in England.Quote:

Does seem that way; but I haven't been too active lately on this forum...I guess I needed a bit of break. Mostly, I have been PM'ing friends or sometimes hanging out in the mindless game threads; or ocasionally write a movie review, when I can find the time. I will have work up my ambition again for a winter Lawrence short story, what do you think?Quote:

I know it and I am now missing the Chekhov thread, as well. I wonder where Quark ran off to. Guess he is busy with school. Watch, now that mentioned his name he will arrive any minute. We seem to have ESP.:alien:Quote:

Oh and that pine tree outside his hous. Lawrence has an essay where he uses the pine tree as an anaolgy. It also figures in several of the New Mexico poems.
Virgil, I have a better photo of the homestead. I was looking for it but can't find it presently. This one looks newer and the roof looks odd to me with green slats. I think the other one is quainter looking. People can actually stay in it or they could and I read one account of a man and his wife which was truly interesting; they felt like they experienced the ghost of Lawrence; well, the spirit at least, in the middle of the night; sounded sort of spooky to me. I will look again to locate that other photo. I used to have it for a time on my desktop. It really did look cozy. That tree, I believe is the Lawrence tree...but maybe not that exact one. That is the one you are referring to and also Georgia O'Keefe painted it naming it the Lawrence Tree. People are always hanging it upside-down, which is rather funny. I did it once, too, when I used it as my signature photo. I have more photos from the area he lived in in NM and I can find a Youtube video for you of the tour and the chapel. I think I may have copied that account that the married couple who visited wrote up online. I copy most things I find interesting about Lawrence.Quote:

Ok, too busy now to look for the right cabin but it is cool. I think it's on a zipdisk...but there is the remote possibility, it's on here but hidden in my archives somewhere. Let me go now and see if I can find the links to the video and any other neat photos.Quote:
