views of the dirt hill behind and i guess coming into the building |
Cape Disappointment on a rainy day. Frogs living in the base of a former gun turret amongst rusting gears. life s mossy and gray , the ocean somewhat in and beyond the fog. marshy land surrounding the hill with it's inner fort sunken into it, underneath it , entrenched in it. it's hard to say how much of this land mass has underlying concrete construction, signs of foundations succumbed to the greeness of nature are like an ancient grave site. is that why i like ruins and graveyards- both sunken into the earth neither at the foregrounds of our thoughts or lives. This location disappointed lewis and Clark for they were sick of eating pounded dried fish. their tummies ached and they had diarrhea. Hunting was unsuccessful. unimpressed with the Columbia's meeting of the pacific.
