Circles

Last week I took the kids to campus while Lizzi was in class so we could walk around campus and explore the trails. To my surprise they were more interested in the sculptures than hiking so we spent the morning touring the best sculptures for climbing. Nancy Holt's "Rock Rings" were a big hit until I made the kids pose for this photo. Apparently  there was bird poo in the rings which they weren't happy about sitting next to!

This view to green is through the portals in Nancy Holt's sculpture, the very literally named "Stone Enclosure: Rock Rings" on the Western Washington University campus. The sculpture itself recalls something along the lines of Stonehenge or other monuments-as-celestial-maps. I may have to visit again on one of the Solstices to see if I can spot a Druid.

We are out of town until July 15, roughing it backwoods-style near Tonasket, Washington. If you already know where Tonasket is without cheating and googling it, you should win some sort of prize, since it's pretty much in the middle of nowhere. We will return with mosquito bites, sticky kids, lots of empty beer bottles, and hopefully some groovy memories and photos to share.
