This photo was taken by Edward Curtis, may his soul rest peacefully, far from any fence. The caption he left with this photo was "Into the Shadow". How better to summarize the disappearance of a beautiful way of life ? Life where wind, water, mountains, earth, plants, and wildlife were worshipped with profound reverence. We need to return to more ancient ways of looking at our life and the only Earth we have to live it on. It pains me deeply to see our so-called civilisation treating the Earth as though it were a disposable diaper. Look at what happened to Glen Canyon if you want a concrete example... Glen Canyon disappeared... into the shadow...
