RE: Conamara "A place of Savage Beauty" - Oscar Wilde
Oh, Penny. It's lovely. I mean seriously. Incredible beauty.
There is a mission south of Tucson where I light my candles. I'm not of the faith, but putting a name on a candle and lighting it just seems the right thing to me. I also have a private Carin in the wilds of New Mexico where I have named the stones that are on it.
There is a castle on the breaks of the Columbia River in Washington. Jim Hill, the railroad robber baron married a Romanian princess and built it for her. She took one look at the countryside and refused to live there. It is now a museum that has the largest collection of Rodin sculpture outside the Louvre in Paris. Most of the plaster molds for his sculptures ended up there. It's a thing to be seen.
Thank you for a lovely post, and the thoughts, which are even more important.
BigT, I feel like I should just move to your side of the world, we hop on Connie and you show me all these things! Do you have photos? You need to write a post about this please! It sounds incredible! Of course Romania has it's own place in heart and I would love to one day see that as well (as you mentioned the Romanian princess), is there anything more romantic than a tragedy ...sigh <3
There is a Stonehenge replica near by. Hill built it as a monument to the stupidity of war during WWI. It's not as Stonehenge is today, but as it was built. It's on nearly the same latitude so the Sun and Moon angles are the same. I'll try to be there for SunUp photos soon.
I need to see this!!! PLEASE!
