Location: Silver City, New Mexico

After the Garage I headed down to the river where I had interviewed Van Clothier yesterday. Yes, Van from the Prajna river talk lives here, and we had a great creek side chat about water restoration.

I headed back today to take photographs of all the old cars that line the creek banks. I had gone back yesterday after the talk but Moses, who loves creeks and walks, had started acting strange and crying. There are a lot of homeless and rough looking drifters that live/drink down in this ravine, so I figured I’d trust his canine intuition and come back this morning.

There was a big flood in the early 1900’s and it washed away Silver City’s main street taking all the cars with it. It let this huge ravine right through the center of town and these cars downstream.

I spent a few hours taking photographs and film of these cars, since I love the idea of the Nature reclaiming humanities ‘progress’. While I was shooting the phrase from that film kept repeating in my mind, “A River Runs Through It” and in time, through all things.

peace,
