Going
Non-stop flight from London to San Francisco shows up as a curve on a Mercator Projection map of the Northern Hemisphere. The trip takes 11 hours at 36,000 feet altitude in the cramped fuselage of the Boing 777 jet airliner traveling up to 590 mph.
Return flight over Greenland across Hudson Bay into Manitoba, exposed scenes of boundless, deathly, frozen landscape.

Inner Coast Range
Flag Hill at Sunol Wilderness is a slab of ancient sea floor which, in response to pressure from below, was tilted up more on one side than the other, revealing a cross-section of its sedimentary layers.
The hill shows a vegetation pattern typical of the inner coast ranges. During summer, the hot sun dries the south-facing slope. Only grassland and soft chaparral can survive under these conditions. On the north-facing slope where moisture lasts longer, trees thrive.
Sunol is one of the most beautiful parks in the Bay Area.

Far Future
Doomed to do it again & again, no choice but to play a Phoenix in an unending sequence of rise and fall.
Assyria, Babylon, Egypt, Greece, Carthage, Rome: ground to dust; plowed with salt.
Spain, France, Britain, America – burned into the oblivion of centuries.
–A Canticle For Leibowitz by Walter M. Miller, Jr. (1959)
