The first: utterly lacking in pretense . . . a bastion of the Second Amendment, disarmingly straightforward in its bunker mentality and pillbox aura. The radiating neon seems ironically at odds with the camouflage paint scheme . . . a bit off target with respect to concealment. I frequently amuse myself at the necessity of a reinforced door and crash-prevention pillars . . .
Presented as an antidote, the second photograph is a mildly abstract study in architectural form and texture: the north-facing wall of my primary sanctuary in the hills. Several times annually I rendezvous at this serene compound for reflection, renewal and the warm fellowship with many varied friends who happen to share a particular path in life which emphasizes love, tolerance, and an effort at enlightenment.
