We walked up to the Upper Hale (one of Farnham’s villages) to see how they’d integrated the dilapidated chapel into the landscaping design of the cemetery (the work in this article has been completed.) Emerging into the Upper Hale we saw this house with its equine wooden sculpture (we didn’t check inside for Greek soldiers).

Almost 50 years ago, I dropped acid (LSD) for the first time. I remember staring at a wooden closet door panel for what seemed like a very long time, seeing amazing things in the pattern and then wondering if it wasn’t just a tad insane to spend long periods gazing at a piece of wood. But you have to admit, there’s lots going on here if you let your mind go…




One of many we saw. You may be surprised to learn about the history and purposes of totem poles.


A couple of boring pictures, I guess. I was attracted by the way the wood had been painted the same color as the gravel and the metal cladding had been painted to match the color of the wooden telephone pole. I imagined a series of such pairings but stopped after I saw these two in rapid succession.
