IMAGINARY FORCES
I am a long-time fan of the Hieronymus Bosch novels by Michael Connelly. As such, when the Amazon Prime Video BOSCH came online in 2014 I was excited to say the least. But it wasn’t just the show’s quality and adherence to the books (SO OFTEN MISSED when the film rights are sold) that impressed…

NOLA
New Orleans, NOLA, is known or often remembered visually for its Mardi Gras, or Carnival, celebrations.

Old Sheldon Church Ruins
This location, or “building”, is known as the Old Sheldon Church Ruins, though, “ruined” is a relative term I would suppose; I, and many others before me, find it intriguingly beautiful.
