    These are older pictures as you can see from the date but I was reminded of them during a conversation with someone. We were in the Badlands, driving through the park and came upon a herd of buffalo blocking the road and bringing traffic to a standstill for about 30 minutes. They are truly massive creatures, there was one a mere 3 to 4 feet from our car that was seriously at least as big as the car and I'm sure weighed more. The last picture was taken when he had moved a safe distance away. These pictures are scanned from the originals and on my computer, are kind of dark but it's been my experience that my monitor tends to do that so I'm hoping you'll be able to see things clearly.

    feet lovely and still as sleeping doves,
    porcelain bones strong enough to carry a life,
    but weighty and unmovable
    As black Dakota hills.

    It was! They certainly aren't as wide as a car, but there are many that are as tall and as long and it's a little unnerving to have only a small amount of metal and glass between them and you. Whenever you go to the badlands, you always hope to see some buffalo, it's one of the greatest thrills of going there but no one wants to be that close. That guy standing outside his car is crazy. As you can see, he was the only one who was so bold, everyone else stayed in the relative safety of their cars.

    The next one is in fact a number of pictures clobbered together to one. I was experimenting a bit with a new (to me) application called Autostitch:

    I finally found that shot of me as "Hobo Bo" approximately 1992, a most vintage year. Taken inside Merillat Industries, Atkins, VA Door Plant. That's a door railing/building station behind me.

    Some of us laugh
    Some of us cry
    Some of us smoke
    Some of us lie
    But it's all just the way
    that we cope with our lives...

    Nice pictures all. Just a question for Claes on that movng picture in Paris. That looks incredibly dangerous. You even have cofee tables right under the latter with people sitting there. Are they crazy?

    You captured that gorilla very nicely. There is a lot of feeling in that picture: Well done.

    I agree: It probably was pretty dangerous. As you can see there was nothing to prevent people from walking under the ladder, and many did exactly that. Fortunately, all went well as far as I could see.
