Rock Quarry, and swifts

  

Fun couple of late afternoons evenings side by side. Behind-the-scenes local rock quarry visit...such views, plus interesting seeing parts of the process. Very nice of them to share insight. 

                        Swifts entering silos for overnight rest at brick yard..,,just down the street from quarry.

Ride day 2023

 

Behind the scene work -- year 16 for me. May we rid the earth of this disease. 

Ceramics - thrown and altered

Trying a new way of learning...throwing pieces for not just practice of technique, but also to alter, and not keep. I was trying to make a certain shape for the top of this vase that wasn't working out...so, I used what didn't work anyhow, kind of making fun of myself with the look for mock horror (the big "o" mouth). I then proceed to cut it for its slow demise, but, ended up liking the cuts and added shadows. Did destroy it, but learned. 

 

View - all sides

 Nice hike to rock cropping for a view. Fog, red tails, and laughter.
