Footage of the Southwest in the 30s and 40s

Great link, k. how about a bit of Ansel Adams to go with it?

(dial-up users may want to pass on the Ansel Adams link)

I love the sounds of that site, timber!
Now, SW and imagery has lead me to search for some Georgia O'Keefe paintings online. And More Georgia O'Keefe

littlek i i have not found a url yet but i know that a Georgia O"keefe museum opened in Santa Fe a few years ago, might be worth some surfing.

I checked it out. The site is good, but it focuses more on the museum itself and the exhibitions going on there. It's not ALL G O'Keefe. That place opened up less than a year (I think) after I moved from santa fe - sigh.

Was just going to into that site <fritz> and check it out, glad to see you have a question here with all of this as well
I ADORE Okeefe...and have an itch to go to the museum someday

Don't tell piffka, but i looked at the lang 'missions' film. Lovely.

Don't tell piffka why?

I wouldn't go to a mission with her when we were in Tucson.

So, you're not a proponent of The Missionary Position, then, I take it.

we call that a groaner

missionary postion = groaner.

Hey!

does that mean they are praying?

littlek - the joke, such as it was, was a groaner



Yikes! piffka saw me looking at the mission! i just looked. i didn't get close.

Uh HUH!

Durn thing wouldn't play for me... I'd have to turn off my computer. Wait. Open only one window and then pray to some of those mission Gods and saints.

It would be easier to just go back to Tucson.

New Mexico first.
Seattle before that, I think.

See. Just like that... locked out by some weird error and tossed out on my ear with a perfectly nice post all ready to submit lost.

I would sure love to look at those links, littlek. I am going to try again as soon as I finish this post. Lemme see... fritz lang clips. Now wasn't fritz lang the guy who was in love with Immogen Cunningham, the one who had all those nude photos on Mt. Rainier, about 100 years ago?

Seattle, huh? Cool.

Tucson might be in the offing for me. I am trying to get Mr.K to take a drive south with me. He's considering it. New Mexico is kinda chilly just now, at least the night temperatures are well below freezing and the day temps are about what we've got here.

My sister is going to Tucson and then on down to Mexico for two glorious weeks. <Biting hands with envy.> There is a wonderful place in Mexico just a ways across the border that I want to see again, something Madre, Tres Madre or .... where Father Kino is buried... really sort of mummified (!) in the middle of the square. Would really like to see that again.

Father Kino was the head priest for most all of the SW Missions during the time of their building. I think he worked about 70 years (maybe that's how old he was when he died). I think he was the inspiration for the priest in Death Comes for the Archbishop, which is a wonderful book, if you haven't read it.

Okay, now trying to see those links again. ... Wish me luck...

good luck piffka!

Beth, I know what you meant. I was joking (groan sounds so much like moan)

Hmmm. Everybody else could see these, huh?
