Zimbabwean Sculpture
One hallway of the Atlanta airport has Zimbabwean sculpture, along with kalimba music. It has always seemed like a small oasis of calm among the chaos of the world's busiest airport.

Sun Ra
This poster for a show by the great Sun Ra (who was either from Saturn or Birmingham, Alabama) was a gift from my friend Rob. I attended this concert back in 1984 - it was strange and wonderful.

Painted Saxophone
...by the kids at band camp.
This is a cellphone pic, and the saxophone was a clunker.

Young Hawk
I visited Sylvester Cemetery in Atlanta today to take some pictures. I saw what I thought was a stone decoration - until it turned to look at me. I think that this is a young hawk.

Gold Dust
The strangest of 15 "text compositions" written by Karlheinz Stockhausen under the overall title Aus den Sieben Tagen (From the Seven Days). "Gold Dust" has been recorded once, by Stockhausen and three other musicians; they followed the instructions of the text completely. It's a strange recording.

Rock Eagle Mound
Built somewhere around 2000 years ago by the inhabitants of what is now Putman County, Georgia. This picture was taken from the viewing tower which was built about 70 years ago. There is another, less well preserved bird mound, known as the Rock Hawk, in Putnam County.

Tomahawk
When the Atlanta Braves, the city's professional baseball team, finally began winning championships in the early 1990's, tomahawks started showing up everywhere. They are mostly gone now, but this garage in Decatur still displays a somewhat forlorn-looking example.
No picture from Monday, June 6 - sorry.
