Monday Musing | Harvest Moon Sharing elements that inspire our visual language. I. Listening Stones, St. Vrain Greenway, Longmont, Colorado. Granite river boulders, wood, flagstone. 1997. II.

Den Inre och Den Yttre Rymden (“The Inner and the Outer Space”). VI. Göbekli Tepe, southern Turkey.

VII. Anuradhapura Moonstone (Sandakada Pahana). An elaborately carved semi-circular stone slab placed at the foot of staircases and entrances to ancient Buddhist temples and shrines in Sri Lanka.
