I'd been admiring the bright moon on my drive to work and then, walking from my car, noticed that it had begun to disappear. I figured it was either an eclipse or Armaggedon.Dan Guyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00894953005632382940noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9604161.post-79356132657379157872007-08-29T16:53:00.000-07:002007-08-29T16:53:00.000-07:00oh, and there are poppets up thereoh, and there are poppets up thereHollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10520996755051133317noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9604161.post-86809695691631218982007-08-29T16:52:00.000-07:002007-08-29T16:52:00.000-07:00Ravyn - there is little equal to walking under a s...Ravyn - there is little equal to walking under a star bright sky with the aurora flowing overhead. I have stopped staring up at the night sky since moving back to the lower 48. <BR/><BR/>Here is a link to real-time imagery: http://gedds.pfrr.alaska.edu/allsky/default.htm <BR/><BR/>I'm not sure how good it is, as I just found it and the IT guy broke the video playing functions of my work computer, but it's part of the Poker Flats Research Station (owned by UAF).<BR/><BR/>If you want to see them with your own eyes, I would recommend visiting Fairbanks, Alaska in March. Due to the latitude, it's quite common to see the lights (and because you can catch the ice art championships as well). of course, the best time to see the aurora is when it's coldest (November and February).Hollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10520996755051133317noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9604161.post-4068255089944969932007-08-29T10:42:00.000-07:002007-08-29T10:42:00.000-07:00Ravyn: I went back to the site and dug a little d...Ravyn: I went back to the site and dug a little deeper. It gets better and better. This one goes in my permanent links.<BR/><BR/>Carl v: As I'm fond of saying, "It's like time travel."<BR/>wait...it IS time travel.<BR/><BR/>I truly hope to have a page devoted to the Dark Caravan one. It contains many of the most complex and fantastical works I've created and is probably the least seen of all my work. I hold hope this will be remedied in the near future. The collection is being adopted by a museum in the Baltimore area. I'm told the process will take about two years.<BR/>In the meantime, I'm working on a post about the making of the fortune teller, and will put up photos of the other pieces with it.<BR/>Thanks!<BR/><BR/>RRNN: I know that tunnel all too well. I'm pretty sure it's the same one I'm in, just without the oncoming train. Give it time. It seems a natural part of the process you're going through.<BR/>Soon we'll be hard at work together again on poppety things.<BR/>Write it out. Write the pain too. Poppets are not afraid of pain. <BR/> During a rough patch many years ago, Neil Gaiman gave me advice that has stuck: "Work and keep working. It all comes out in the work." He was so right then, and now.lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07410230007560550179noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9604161.post-77321763039457674442007-08-29T06:15:00.000-07:002007-08-29T06:15:00.000-07:00Restless and dissatisfied.

To be honest, I'd be happy to feel like there was a train of inspiration rushing down my tunnel at me. Right now I just feel like I'm feeling my way along in the dark, and there are things down here with me, teasing me, touching my face when I least expect it, and getting ready to do something nasty.Derek Ashhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01555485192723965604noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9604161.post-69719594881453980692007-08-29T05:46:00.000-07:002007-08-29T05:46:00.000-07:00Yes, I was suffering throughout the day for my lat...Yes, I was suffering throughout the day for my late night followed by getting up early (5 a.m. here) to see the eclipse. It was worth it though and prompted a little more moon gazing last night.<BR/><BR/>Kindergarten?!?! Already!?!? Isn't Orion like, three? ;) It goes by waaaay to fast.<BR/><BR/>On another note, I was perusing a friend's copy of Chelsey Award Winning art last night and saw a fantastic picture of a portion of Dark Caravan.
