The Lost World

View from the Sandy Bottom looking NE towards the McDowell Mountains. The Saguaro is visible in the foreground, along with the Palo Verde on the left edge of the frame (the Ironwood is out of frame to the right). This was taken last December. Everything in the foreground from just past the Saguaro to the intersection at 91st street is now fenced off by a curtained chain-link fence and has been scraped clean to accommodate the supporting park and access road that will allow workers to access the storage pond being built just out of frame to the right. I am using this photo as my avatar for the Telegram social media app, where I mostly just lurk at the Reading Epic Threads group. Telegram is where it's at. It's reaching critical mass as an alternative platform (as opposed to Clubhouse which is going to die a fiery death from wokeness contamination. No point is starting alternative venues unless if you have to follow the same rules as the Establishment platforms).

 

Currently reading: The Lost World (1912).by Arthur Conan Doyle. I read almost all the Sherlock Holmes story by Doyle last year and recently saw the audio book for this available for free through my Kindle Unlimited Membership. I've been listening to it as I do most things lately---at double speed. It drives Ginger nuts to hear the rapid narration coming through the ear buds.
