A MORNING IN CREEL
In the morning I explore the town of Creel, elevation 7700 feet with a population of just over 5000. I snap a few photos along the main avenue. Elections are coming, hence the banners in at least one of the photos. I then head over to the other side of the railroad tracks and snap a few more photos. As tends to happen, I then become obsessed with the carvings in the pillars along the roadside and take several closeup shots.Speaking of obsessing, when I was in Tibet I was obsessed with Poe's Haunted, an album recommended to me by a friend in Chicago the month before my departure. I'd listen to a few songs from it every night before retiring. This trip I find myself obsessed with Charlotte Martin's On Your Shore, a mix of Kate Bush's Hounds of Love and Tori Amos' From the Choirgirl Hotel at times. I'd first heard of her a few years before, but seem ready to embrace her music now. As I don't recall being obsessed with any albums while in Tucson, maybe it's only something that happens when I leave the country. I'll have to see what I'm obsessing over on my next trip.
But I digress. We're here to board the train through Copper Canyon.
