A summer evening in St. George, Utah

Phil and I especially enjoyed speaking to Sheri at the Split Rock Gallery who introduced us to beautiful art, high end architecture and Snow Canyon.

 {Snow Canyon}

 

American Earth Rim

 .

Leopard print hills are just

out in the Mohave desert

south and east of Las Vegas.

.

To the north of The Rim

sits St. George among steeples

of church and mountain.

.

Many times a year eighteen 

galleries open to the night 

to be closed by curfew.

.

Architects build on black lava rock

just beneath the peaking faces

of snow canyon

the quilted hills

diminish a climbing figure and crawl

slowly back into a covered earth.

.

Just miles away from the spotted hills

stained south of The Rim.
