This is the happiest existential flick I’ve ever seen –
no apologies to woman of the dunes necessary.
She wishes she had Esau’s cup-half-full attitude.

Hi Melissa! Another note – have you seen the work by Janice Wright Cheney on Coy Wolves? I imagine you have, but just in case: http://spokesandpetals.wordpress.com/2012/10/14/art-craft-and-the-coy-wolf/ I think you’ll like it!

Such a nomadic setting, up and over and into the Sahara off with the camels .. Vicariously enjoy these walks with Esau.

Thank you, Nature on the Edge. Of course, I have to angle a McMansion here or there out of the photo, but so it goes…

Woman in the Dunes haunts me to this day. I loved that movie! (I’ve never found anyone else who’s even heard of it.) So tell us, how did Esau get out….of the dunes, that is?
Great pics!

Who said Esau got out? He’s wandering the Long Island dunes to this day, a shaggy gray ghost.

Dune doggy off a leash looks more like the alert shaggy creature
he is at heart. Alone, but not lonely what with a god holding the camera.

Yes, I wish he had more off-leash opportunities, poor fellow.
