Especially love this one. Geoff and I have climbed a similar ladder in New Mexico . We did fine climbing up. Not so good climbing down! I love both the photo and the poem. I just want to go there again. Thank you.

Love any picture with clouds. They are a source of comfort to me.

Very nice. I was dying to be able to shoot around the pueblo at night…. that would have been something, esp with a full moon….

What a contrast between your hopeful, poetic message and what your image called up for me, a dark image save for the sky. You see, recently I read in the Smithsonian magazine about the battle of the Somme in WWI, when tens of thousands of soldiers climbed up just such ladders from dark trenches and went over the top and to their deaths.
DANNY REPLIED TO TOM:
Even in the murderous trenches of World War I, the joyous promise was there to be seen. The worse I seem to face each day is email lobbed at me instead of death.
