during the mad hot dash through

the goethe haus in frankfurt (last

july) i snapped these two works

of art- quickly- and each time i

happen by them (i believe they

are both by goethe, although i

didn't take notes; i'll try to do

better next time) i can't help

but think they are awfully

ardizzone-ish. or was our

beloved edward a. sort of

goethe-ish? either way, i do

love stopping by- visiting the

photos- and remembering that

sweltery day in a v. quiet house.

nothing like a blast of heat to keep

the other tourists at bay. a true delight.

always welcome good advice.

& somehow-calm green walls.

(it's funny what you realize you love in the long run.)

surprising, sometimes. sometimes not.

just put your foot down

summer night

long days,

full moon.

no better light.

here's the thing about the goethe haus;
it was about 102 degrees in there. really.
and muggy. the good thing about this
was that there was almost no one else crazy

enough to be trotting through the rooms.
the tough thing was i could barely breathe.
so i just sort of stumbled quickly through
taking random photos between breaths and
hoping they'd come out all right. it was that
kind of hot where things aren't even registering
in your brain. the kind where you just want a
cool drink and a fan and...anyway. looking back,

i like the photos. maybe being in a heat-induced

trance keeps you from over-thinking things.

something to think about, i suppose.

just one more thing and then

goethe family puppet theater)

that's it for today, folks
