Been kind of quiet lately, yes, I know. Back home, with family, and no real travels on the horizon. Work – my “real” work (to the extent that any of it is real) – is approaching a particular crescendo at the moment, so I’ve not had time for much writing, let alone reflection. There are, of course, all those stories I still need to unpack from Israel – Hebron, Nablus. Munther Fahmi, the Bookseller of the American Colony. The old beggarwoman on the Temple Mount. So many stories that I’ve bookmarked in my mind with a photograph or two. They’re going to have to wait a little.
Speaking of photographs though, most of my pictures from the trip are online now, over on Google+ (just don’t get me started on the “migration” from Picasaweb to Google+, okay?). Some of the pics stand on their own, some just tease you with the promise of a story yet to be told. I’ll tell them when I’ve got a chance, the mindspace to tell them properly. In the meantime, I’m trying to be here, now. Ram Das would approve.

Love your photos! Didn’t know if you knew about Georgia O’Keeffe’s famous painting: http://www.wikipaintings.org/en/georgia-o-keeffe/sky-above-clouds-iii Thought about it when I saw your Eastbound over Middle America shot. Check out how HUGE the painting is. I’ve never seen it in person. –Rachel B.

@Rachel – thanks! I’d never seen that O’Keeffe picture, but I’ve always been drawn to that sort of landscape (skyscape?). To me, it’s a reminder that, when we step back from our on-the-ground view (most of my Jerusalem pictures were taken within about a 3 square mile area), the world is unimaginably large, and filled with unimaginably many different experiences.
