Taking a rest day today.  The heat seems to have gotten to me.  I’m not quite up to par; too much sun or heat, not enough water.  So, we are laying around today. We enjoyed a great visit and another wonderful meal with my folks yesterday.  It’s amazing how much we have to talk about….

Taking a rest day today.  The heat seems to have gotten to me.  I’m not quite up to par; too much sun or heat, not enough water.  So, we are laying around today.

We enjoyed a great visit and another wonderful meal with my folks yesterday.  It’s amazing how much we have to talk about.

Here’s a sight that I was able to capture on the way over to their house.  It’s something that is very clever, but maybe it wouldn’t work in fir tree country.  At first glance, it’s just a couple of palm trees and there are a lot of those.  But, when you look closer…

Unlike the “giants” in Iceland, these structures are actually built and working as cell towers.  [I fell for the photos online of Iceland’s high tension electric towers built to look like giants, which figure into the Icelandic sagas.  However, Snopes tells me that these giants are only architectural drawings, basically photoshopped.  The architect says that the project may go into construction in Iceland in 2017, though, so they may be reality soon.  I hope so.  I just love this idea of tradition and function combined. ]

Now that I think of it, the high tension towers in Arizona look like the Navajo and Hopi kachina dolls.  I’m sure they didn’t plan it that way, but don’t they?
