Ogoh-ogoh from yesterday's parade in Tampaksiring, Bali... FL chats with Balinese friends almost every day, she was sent these images...

Ogoh-ogoh get paraded around the day before Nyepi, the day of silence Balinese celebrate every year. Ogoh-ogoh are meant to fuck with the bad spirits' heads, one time I asked a Balinese friend what bad spirits look like and he frowned and said: "like ghosts, only taller".

Always wanted to be there for Nyepi, somehow never was.

Someone in the National Park Service has a touch of humor. Thought of Prez - as he visits this sort of location often - when I saw this:

Yesterday off trail, way in the back of a canyon in Valley of Fire state park in Nevada spotted a big wall with some natural black varnish, favored medium for old petroglyhs.

About shit my pants when I spotted something odd through the binoculars, but up close...
