This is my bit of a blog. Rambling words about rambling days. No focus and nothing ambitious. I seem to write most about local color, nature, and animals, and there is an incomplete chunk about my road trips of 2011.

Creation Drama - Natural Bridge

We visited the Natural Bridge in Virginia today. The sheer size of the rock formation does indeed inspire awe.

Here's Mercedes, tiny, beneath the massive formation.

And here's Frederic Edwin Church's 1852 rendition of the natural wonder.

We stayed for the after-dark "Creation Drama," a light show against the rock, with music and narration. Good idea, execution needs work. A Native American creation myth would be so much better than the Genesis myth.
