Monarch Pass, Colorado
Sheering down the other side of the Continental Divide we go level by level, lower and lower, into an emptied-ocean of the world. Mountains gleam with light before there was light. They are shaped like fingers but packed together for prayer. Where mountains cast shadows on other mountains is an eye-scalding place to be. Light instead of air here.

This true story is retold in paint on a 16 foot high wall with the help of the passing public in Seattle’s Cal Anderson Park. Watch the timelapse here:”

I didn’t have any class today (due to cancellations) so I went for an extended bike ride. I love living right next to the stone mountain trail.

Hey Atlanta folks!
vintage-nouveau:
I just saw this on facebook and thought it was too awesome not to share. Tomorrow at 529 in East Atlanta Village, Cole from Black Lips will be doing a solo show and Bradford Cox of Deerhunter/Atlas Sound will DJ after the show. So sad I won’t be in town for this.
Definitely not missing this show
