wwp@yahoogroups.com:
finally, a theme essay
G. Donald Bain 2006-Jun-12 16:46:00
Yes, I am feeling very guilty for not posting an essay about the
theme "gardens". I should have done it weeks ago. My excuse,
predictably, is that I have been busy traveling, taking panoramas,
and working on my web site.
Right now I am in the high desert of Oregon, waiting out a rainy
spell in a motel, catching up on e-mail. Sorry to miss out on some of
the pre-event discussion, thanks to the veterans who have filled in
for me.
So I got up early this morning, went to a coffee shop and typed up
some of my thoughts on "gardens". It is not too well organized, and
there is much more that I would like to say, but I think it will serve.
I am hoping that this event will be about PLACES. That's the
professional geographer in me speaking. I would like to see the
world's cultures and environments, in all their marvelous diversity,
reflected in their gardens.
Essay to follow.
