And then, need to wait for a new camera before I can post new work.<br /><br />AH, I visited it about 40 years ago, research for a paper I wrote about that failed utopian experiment. (No, I don't still have it.) The ruins were cool to explore. In our immediate area, land tends to get built over or at least structures get completely razed, so you don't get that much chance to see what happens to "the world without us" http://www.worldwithoutus.com/index2.html. (I recently drove along parts of old Route 66 and did get to see some more recent ghost towns.)Jean Spitzerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13520415864511680025noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5596223475426533484.post-61959833542269590552009-09-10T12:16:55.575-05:002009-09-10T12:16:55.575-05:00Jean, I googled Llano del Rio, and then remembered...Jean, I googled Llano del Rio, and then remembered reading about it some time before.

For me it's the hairline zig zagging across her forehead. Gorgeous! I also like the transparency allowing the color of the paper to show through the hair.
