Travel Portrait 04: Haircut, Dar al Islam, and White Places

Haircut
Wednesday, March 14, 2007, 11:15:26 AM

This vacation, I was determined to give myself a decent haircut!

The only problem was that, in my haste to get to the airport and catch the plane, I forgot to pack my tiny mirror that allows me to see the back of my head.

Good thing my phone has a camera!

Get a haircut!
Uh, missed a spot...
All done!

Dar Al Islam

I was recommended to see the adobe mosque [designed] by Egyptian architect Hassan Fathy.

I was told that he only used materials that came from a ten mile radius to build the mosque.

Some food activists hold a similar belief that the meat and produce eaten by a community should come from local farms.

The White Places

This is 'The White Places' aka 'Plaza Blanca.' The canyon is about a half mile down from the mosque.

Georgia O'Keeffe has painted this canyon.

I took a stroll down into the canyon, but the rocky desert terrain made me turn back promptly.

In my haste to get to the airport and catch the plane, I neglected to pack my trusty steed!
