Fire!
On 5 May, 2008 a construction crew on adjacent land started a fire that got this close to the studio buiding. A twenty man U. S. Forest Service crew was dispatched from North Carolina, a helicopter dropped water, more than fifteen acres were burned in the first day and the operation was still ongoing three days later....

Back here in Georgia, this is a live view looking north from atop Brasstown Bald mountain, Georgia's highest at 4784 feet.
It folds down nearly flat for packing and includes the same Auralex that lines the walls of the real studio. Everybody back in the U.S. seemed to agree that it's a distinct improvement from the previous method of working from the road, which involved piling up all the pillows and stuff from your hotel room, as pictured here on a trip to Ecuador in March, 2007:
We did that trip down to Ecuador back in March but whattaya know, I never posted any pictures here, did I? Previously, in December and January, we took a holiday trip down to southern Africa. Here's some pictures from that trip. Click for a bunch from Namibia.
Here's a bunch more pictures from the Turkey trip.
There's a program online that fills in all the countries you've visited in red. Here's how we're doing:
Trip before that: Southeast Asia. Singapore to Bangkok on the train, and then Da Nang to Saigon by rail.
This guy's from Costa Rica. We did a quick trip down there spring 2006.
And here's some more pictures, from that previous Southeast Asia trip.
I commend to you a new web site we've been working on, EarthPhotos.com, where we have posted a few hundred of our travel pictures.
The view over our pasture from the back deck. THAT'S why we moved to the country.
Here's O'Neil, our third horse. He's a Dutch warmblood, imported from Holland.
Prior to finishing the new place, and since moving from Atlanta in October of 2001,we had been living in a little cabin we bought in 1993 to use on weekends. That cabin is two miles away, down by the creek at the end of the gravel road. Here's the creek, with a sauna building beside it. A wet summer a few years ago, with the help of a couple of hurricanes, had all these mountains brimming full of water.
A fall or two ago, I put up a little photo tour of the area here on the Georgia/North Carolina border where we live and work. The nearest town is Young Harris, Georgia, population 604 (the last time anybody counted).
Here's a closer view. The big building in the middle is the barn. The office is largely hidden,
Sometimes this webcam, located up there atop Brasstown Bald, points right across the valley at us.
