ashes and snow<\/a>. inside it\u2019s kind of murky and there\u2019s that eastern kind of music playing and there are huge photos along the passage of people interacting with animals, like a little kid touching the trunk of an elephant. The artist\u2019s name is Gregroy Colbert, and he went to india, egypt, sri lanka, a bunch of places like that to take photos and shoot film.<\/p>\nso, there are all these intersting photos, and then at the end there\u2019s a film, and it\u2019s something like a woman with a muir cat sitting on her head, and the woman is reading some really old-looking book and of course it\u2019s all shot in black and white. and maybe the woman is on some really old-looking boat that\u2019s gliding through the water, and then maybe there\u2019s a bobcat on a boat, gently touching the woman\u2019s head to push off.<\/p>\n
it was pretty good, this first film, and it was short – maybe 10 or 15 minutes. but then there\u2019s a giant hall with a big screen an a film of blowing sand and people sitting around with different large cats like leopards and a lynx and maybe some shots of a man underwater swimming around with elephants. and it was interesting, but then it went on…and on…and on. and finally i said to O. (Oscar), do you want to go? and luckily he, too, was ready to leave. i mean, it felt a little..sacreligious…to leave the film but we\u2019d had enough. it went on too long.<\/p>\n
as we walked out, there were tons of people standing around, all of them in complete silence, watching the screen. that was a pretty neat moment.<\/p>\n
we walked down the second row of photos and out into the clear sky overlooking the ocean. and went on the ferris wheel.<\/p>\n
afterwards we went to the Gate of India, which i kept telling O. was the BEST indian food ever…but it was a little disappointing. Gateway of India RIGHT IN SPRINGFIELD ILLINOIS is better, i think. i think the Gate has slipped a little.<\/p>\n
so that\u2019s one more reason why there\u2019s no reason to move away from spfld just now, because we have fabulous indian food.<\/p>\n
yesterday, more stuff, more photos, and i feel that i\u2019m going to be slipping behind on my travel report, but i have to get out and LIVE right now. randy called and chastised for not updating more often but like i said, i have to go out and have the experiences and take the pictures right now…<\/p>\n
ok then,<\/p>\n
