About Me

My photo
Adalbert is a forum for me, to post ephemera, photography, poetry, occasional travel notes, and various spontaneous motions. Cover photo: Parsonage where my great-grandfather spent his early years. Taken near Liegnitz, Silesia, ca. 1870. The "xothique" portion of the web address is a nod to Clark Ashton Smith's fictional continent of Zothique.

New Cartoon

 


A new cartoon I created (drawn digitally), based on my mother's accounts of a restaurant operated by Greek immigrants, where she was employed as a waitress. The time frame was toward the end of World War Two.

Kamakura, 5 December, 2024

 

A photo I took; Great Buddha at Kamakura, Japan; 5 December, 2024. The moon and Venus appeared behind stacks of fulgent clouds; crows flew and rasped in mystery, about the evocative statue.
