I love the work of Robert Smithson. And he has so much beyond Spiral Jetty. I’m always on the lookout for earth art and I think I have come across a fair amount in the woods. I was marveling at this dead tree today while Peggi was taking a pee. It seemed to have grown in a spiral pattern and then shed all it’s bark.
We ski for about a mile before breaking out of the woods and onto the golf course. It is often a surreal experience but today we were in earth art territory. We watched this guy, undoubtably the same guy who taped the small flag to the tree that I talked about yesterday, walking in right angles to spell “USA” in the snow in giant letters. You get a good view of his work when you’re on top of the hill to the right so we skied up there.

do you like Andy Goldsworthy? saw a documentary on him, I am amazed at his tenacity to brave mother nature in some of his exploits.
