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.

The Choppers


A sense of a vaudeville or early cinema comedy team holds about this one.  A female analogue of Olsen and Johnson, or other slapstick teams who never metamorphosed into icons.  On the Columbia River?
