Nebraska Run

The drought is real. Mile after mile of scorched earth...as if a prairie fire had just passed by. And, then, every 20 miles or so, a crossroads, a place to sleep and eat and get ready for the next day.

And, then, in Omaha an excellent art museum housed in what was once voted "One of the 100 most beautiful buildings in the United States.". They had some real jewels...I especially liked the mid 19th century plains paintings.






But also there were unfamiliar worlds to explore.









Which after all what art does. Makes you stop the car and get out and take a look. Like this allegory of a Venetian victory in a sea battle against the Ottoman Empire. It is all in the perspective of going through portals that frame your sight.

Am sitting across from the Notre Dame campus, drinking an evening coffee, ready to bike back to Tommy's house.
