  We took a pilgrimage to see Spiral Jetty by Robert Smithson, 1970, for our 30th wedding anniversary. It was a fantastic trip. We did walk out to the new / actual shoreline which was about a kilometer away. The water is pink because of the presence of algae. So much to say about this. I'm an art historian. My husband is a railway enthusiast. In this specific case, the two are intertwined.

  "The surprising part isn’t really that women occupied all these various roles and positions, but that we continue treating them as exceptions to the rule, even as new archaeological methods challenge that idea over and over again."
