After 6 months of staying in the Southwest along with a visit to Italy we head home to Lowell. It has been fun absorbing a new climate and terrain with lots of long hikes, gallery walks, music etc. so I look forward to what works of art may come out of 'filling the well'.
The lighting in the southwest is not like any other part of the country. Maybe it is the expanse of the west or maybe it is just that after a rain... the sky is so clear.
