On my way down to meet someone for dinner last night, I decided to take The Highline since it was the shortest distance between two points, and because I never really need an excuse to walk on it. It was about 6:45 pm, and the park is open until 8. It wasn’t particularly cold out, but there was an eerie silence through most of the park, with almost no one around. It was cool and spooky.
Yay! I was able to tie my own shoes today for the first time since the operation.
As Josh and I were galavanting around old Spain, we stopped in many (many) a cathedral. Unlike their less grand cousins in the US, it is much easier to see how these immense structures inspired awe, reflection, and sometime fear in their congregations. Despite the hordes of tourists, one could imagine a quieter time when these structures allowed for a high degree of introspection away from the hustle and bustle of the dense cities just outside. On one of the occasions we were sitting on benches, thinking about prayer in these vast halls and I was inspired to sit in a traditional prayer pose within the pews, and Josh snapped a photo. This then became one of the motifs of our trip, and we took many such shots over the following weeks. As a series, I quite like the idea, the mixture of incredible spaces and light, focused around a single individual in a variety of angles. I consider this series to really be early groundwork and testing for something better, as sometimes the effect is not as reverent or prayerful as I would like. Some of the shots are quite nice however, and I think they make an interesting grouping. Most are ones that Josh took of me, and some I took of him. All of these are from my camera, but Josh has a few others from his camera that I will be adding to the collection in the next few days.

We arrived last night in Salamanca to discover a lively street festival had overtaken the town. There were people everywhere, and we had a nice little walk around the lovely town center and drunk people of all ages. Check out the slideshow below.
