National Christmas Tree, Washington D.C (2013)
Nothing says Christmas is here more than cutting down a massive tree, transporting it across the country and then displaying it on the National Mall for all to see. It is far more romantic than that previous sentence would have you believe, in that it is incredibly romantic. Take your lover – I highly recommend it.
Every year a tree is taken
from one of the American states.
and surrounded with lights and tiny trains
This year the tree is
From Virginia.
It glows hauntingly
The lights.
The hypnotic lights.
And atop there sits
a glowing star
Little trees represent the states
And the unincorporated territories.
Does anyone remember this?
I had never heard of it until I was reading about the death of cinema, tonight.
It seems to be an odd combination of reality television show and drama.
I’ll let you know what it’s like when I watch the whole thing.
Or you should just watch it yoursellf.
As I have said before: WAKE UP!

Culture of Illusion – Framing Creates Fictions.
Look closely
At each little moment.
Every glance
And captured frame
Means something,
Drawing the eye
To what
Others
Are watching.

I was there to watch dance and to take this picture.

It is a link to it’s Wikipedia page. I cannot attest to the truth of anything on that page.
I hope I have not guided you into a Web of Deceit.

Ooooh!
Such vibrant colours!
It may appear, from these pictures, that I am stalking members of the public.
I assure you that this is not the case.
Culture of Illusion – Sunset Over Washington.
A quirky fact about the Washington Monument – the tip is made of aluminum. Why, you might ask. It seems that at the time of the building of the Monument the most precious element in all the world was aluminium. Little were the designers to know that in but a century or so cans full of fizzy soda would be made of that very same material. I hope that the fact I used both spellings of that particular element has annoyed everyone in equal measure.

So now this wounded phallus wears a worthless hat.
I don’t know if there is some kind of deeper conclusion one can draw from this about the State of the Nation whilst one enjoys the beautiful sunset, but if you can think of one please let me know.

Culture of Illusion – Matchbox Monuments.
I was quite taken with the idea, as I was strolling through Washington DC today, enjoying the full bloom of The Cherry Blossom Festival, of taking some photographs in which the great monuments of this fine country are but specks in the frame. So I did that and I show some of them to you now.
You will note that The Washington Monument does not fit the definition but I included it anyway.
Please forgive me.
