Every series has its end and this is the final picture of the famous Dead of the week series!
As you can see - this event was made for me - deads all over the place, celebrating life and death in the most creative, colorful way I've ever seen! AWSOME!!! Hilary and I went to the procession with the hiking meetup group and dressed up in our backyard before we met the others downtown on 4th Avenue from where the whole thing started...
Voila: James and Hilary at Epic Cafe with an enormous tuna-sandwich...
This was my farewell-hike with the ramblers and although we didn't see much water, we pretty much saw everything else: A beautiful black-tailed rattlesnake, a giant gilamonster and an encredibly cute Gartnersnake which I pulled out of a crack in a rock - amazing!!!!
Here you can see Hans-Dieter, Tante Maria, Patzi and Onkel Kurt. The picture beneath it shows Onkel Kurt who's taking his pretty cat Putzi for a walk in the backyard.
"Fence" made from glass and clay at the Herd-museum (Museum of Native American history & culture) - an awsome place!!!
See - I was a tree and felt very earthy. Man, that's maybe the only thing I miss here in Tucson - real forest!!! So I thought, well, if there's no forest for me here, I just have to be the forest myself. And I think, it turned out pretty well! Hilary went as a greek muse. The others were cats, Rastamen, phantoms and Veronica was some kind of grandma-nerd:)
On Halloween, we hiked up Tumamoc hill with the Tucson hiking meetup group and had dinner at the Cup (Hotel Congress) afterwards.
We found this extremely flad dead on the road in Sedona - but since it's such an esoteric place, I bet more than one heaven will fight for its little soul...
This shop creeped me out a bit - Crystal Castle is a bizarre mixture of wanna-be-spiritual-accessoires and kitsch. Weeeiirrrrd!
We hiked a couple of hours to see - well, I should say feel the vortexes around this highly esoteric place. But we weren't the only ones - Barbietours were on their way to the miraculous energy-swirls, too...
I made a flying dolphin from the babybel-wax and was hoping to melt it in the sun, but it somehow didn't happen...
Aren't the clifdwellings great? Native people used them as calendars to know when they had to plant and harvest their crops (usually corn, beans, squash) and connection to the spiritual world and maybe many other reasons.
