Finished the movie, Visit
to the Ecovillage Training Center (ETC) to go with the images published 26 May 2005. The image here shows one of the buses from the original caravan following Stephen Gaskin to The Farm in 1971. "They stayed" refers to the fact that the buses are still here and the movement is alive and well. These buses are ghostly hulks, biding their time while a Farm Historical Society evolves them into a museum.

This week a second cataract operation matched the left to the right eye in cyborg crystal vision. I chose interocular lenses that focus between reading and infinity. I now see the computer screens easily, so I can work with no glasses. O joy. However, my Y2K computer hard disk crashed, forcing instant migration to a laptop, which luckily is well-connected to the large external drives where movies happen.

The surgery day was a new moon. Looking forward to the full moon quite close to the solstice on June 21. I'm thinking of the World Wide Panorama shoot theme: water, and what I'll photograph next week for that solstice event.
