Fisk Quarry Preserve, La Motte VT. An extraordinary chain of events led me from a quarry turned nature preserve, featuring the oldest fossilized reef, to the house of the people who fought to ascertain this is protected and safeguarded for future generations. Also an art barn and a pizza dinner in a home atmosphere.
Gallery Minus 430 – the lowest gallery on Earth. On walls of an abandoned Jordanian military base a national and international art project decries the destruction of the Dead Sea.
A 15-km Israel Trail group hike at the heart of the Sharon demonstrates country’s variety: Poleg’s riparian nature reserve, kibbutz plantations, and then the splendid renovated Netanya Peromenade complete with views, art, monuments, history, sports.
My 24 hours in Mumbai were rich in experiences and human encounters – the train (un)expected ordeal, hotel and dining, and then the awesome Elaphanta Island caves, boat ride, climb. Even the taxi trip to the airport was illuminating.
Udaipur art, architecture and religious devotion are evident at every corner. From tiny statues on wall niches to huge elaborate temples artistic talent is evident everywhere.
Udaipur City Palace is an outstanding example of Indian architecture, art and the co-creation of the human with the landscape to the benefit of both. A must see!
Beit Guvrin National Park, a World Heritage Site, features an extraordinary array of ancient man-made caves, carved in white chalk, and used for various purposes, from family burials to raising doves and pressing oil.
