Went to an amazing solstice event in Oakland last Friday.
The Chapel of the Chimes is an extraordinary mausoleum. I am not done with it. I need to go back next day off with a wide angle lens. There are so many nooks and crannies.
And there was a solstice concert on Friday in which each room was a mini concert.
My favorite was Laura Inserra, this adorable and talented Sicilian women who played the Hang. Imagine walking into a a cove, a mausoleum, only natural light with ponds and plants. Everyone sitting on the floor listening to her acoustic drumming. Amazing. Soulful.
I was playing with a new lens, so the pictures kinda suck.
These people, in California, are my people, eccentric, healthy, interesting, curious. Everyday here is a grand adventure! My curiosities are so very satisfied here. No wonder 10 months have just flown by!
