Description of Pictures: SKY ISLAND (USA, 2010, 26 min.):
In northern New Mexico, a range of mountains rises up from the high desert: a wild, rugged land of the Faraway Nearby. The volcanic Jemez Mountains are isolated from all other ranges – an island in the sky, surrounded by a desert sea. Sky Island paints a lyrical and poignant portrait of this enchanting landscape and examines humankind's place within it, with climate change effects already dramatically altering the desert and alpine ecosystem. The film features narration by Pulitzer Prize-winner N. Scott Momaday and acclaimed actress Meryl Streep. Directed by John Grabowska.
Introduced by Jeffrey Stine, Chair, Division of Medicine and Science, National Museum of American History. Discussion with filmmaker John Grabowska follows screenings.

RIBBON OF SAND (USA, 2007, 26 min.):
The famed Outer Banks of North Carolina are a slim and moving line of sand in the open Atlantic. Many travelers think they know these barrier islands, but south of Ocracoke Inlet rises a luminous bar of sand almost 60 miles in extent, with no roads, no bridges, no hotels. The wild, remote beaches of Cape Lookout National Seashore are one of the few remaining natural barrier island systems in the world. Both exaltation and elegy, Ribbon of Sand profiles this scenic landscape and the transitory islands, doomed to disappear. The film features quotes by Rachel Carson, readings by Meryl Streep and an orchestral score by Academy Award winner Todd Boekelheide. Directed by John Grabowska.
Introduced by Jeffrey Stine, Chair, Division of Medicine and Science, National Museum of American History. Discussion with filmmaker John Grabowska follows screenings.

I love well-behaved spiders! They are, in fact, how most people find my site. Unfortunately, my network has a limited bandwidth and pictures take up bandwidth. Spiders ask for lots and lots of pages and chew up lots and lots of bandwidth which slows things down considerably for regular folk. To counter this, you'll see all the text on the page but the images are being suppressed. Also, some system options like merges are being blocked for you.
Note: Permission is NOT granted for spiders, robots, etc to use the site for AI-generation purposes. I'm sure you're thrilled by your ability to make revenue from my work but there's nothing in that for my human users or for me.
If you are in fact human, please email me at guthrie.bruce@gmail.com and I can check if your designation was made in error. Given your number of hits, that's unlikely but what the hell.
