"9 13 CALLE SAN GREGORIO SEES THE RESULTS OF 2016 ELECTION," 

SALAMANCA, SPAIN

Right after the 2016 presidential election, Pam and I visited Salamanca, Spain. I am a narrative visualist. This means I make art from the stories that my experience of this world evokes. It's an ancient tradition and in some way colors the way I look at things. I was on a walk with a fellow tourist along the Douro river road outskirts of this exquisite sand stone city, when this unusual building got my attention. I walked up to its imperessive gate and this scene perfectly captured my deepest angst.

The unusual building turned out to be Salamanca's museum of Art Nouveau and Art Deco.

When I learned that I wondered if the curators of this benchmark of beautiy might have been pleasantly amused at my geopolitical use of their facade.

At around 3,000 ft, the north coast of Molokai'i has the highest sea cliffs in the world and as such the also the highest tide waterfalls. The highest of these falls Oloupena falls at 2953 " is only visible when it is raining hard on Kamakou, the great volcano or the highlands above the north coast. This image is of Papalua falls, its shorter but more consistent sibling.
