Remember glass artist Ben Young who I wrote about in July 2014 in my post “Waves of Glass?” Well, even though we’ve already talked about him, I needed to show you his latest pieces, which I find even more remarkable than his earlier works.
I really do need to fall into a bucket of money one of these days, just so I can buy pieces by the artists I feature (and maybe another house in which to display them!). Get a load of this!

This one reminds me of one of the most striking scenes from “The Cell,” which I always thought was beautiful (and horrifying). Really need to rewatch that! ©Ben Young

Beautiful indeed: the underwater world we never see and rarely imagine. I am so glad I saw these. Thank you again.

I sometimes wonder if life would be better under the sea, because everything is slower there. Then I realize people would just find a way to ruin it anyway.

I used to go schnorkelling in the Mediterranean when I was (much, much) younger, at Cassis-les-Calanques. Quiet and peaceful underwater. I believe the area at the Mouth of the Rhone (B-du-R) is all polluted now. I don’t want to go back and spoil my memories!

St croix is still pretty good, and we’ve had good experiences snorkeling in Puerto Rico and Cancun

I can imagine. Most of my Mexican experience has been inland in the State of Oaxaca. I have stayed away from the sea and resorts: silly me!

Alas: I have never seen one. My cousin kyaks off the Gold Coast by Bunderberg and he’s the family expert. Dusty old books and libraries and archives: they are where I belong.

I was thinking in terms of “hie thee to a nunnery” … a coral reef would be so much nicer. I was rather frightened by what I saw of the nunneries in Avila. I tried not to listen to the talk in the bars!
