When I die and they lay me to rest
Gonna go to the place that's the best
When I lay me down to die
Goin' up to the spirit in the sky
Goin' up to the spirit in the sky
That's where I'm gonna go when I die
When I die and they lay me to rest
Gonna go to the place that's the best

A peculiar light that I've seen nowhere but the Skagit Valley,this is virtually untouched as far as color,light  and tone are concerned.

I've been down so long it looks like up to me…

The tail end of the  North Cascades Highway 20….

 Euphemistically called the 'Grand Strand',  Myrtle Beach in South Carolina, USA  is an odd assortment of beachside condos,strip joints and buffets. The best and worst of the south are represented here. The sub culture is a blend of old southern hospitiality as yielded by  the hospitiality of the wait staff and cooks (usually black). The balance is the crass materialism we've come to know

 at the american beachside communities.

    The nature however can never be despoiled by the hand of man….
