July 24
It's pioneer day so I took mushrooms-kidding...(amanita muscara)?
in an attempt
to understand the bizarre celebration.
An amazing amount of money and effort
is expended recreating
the settlement
of Salt Lake valley.
The meaning
of many of the creations
escapes me.
Others find it exhausting.
Fireworks wrap up the celebration.
I viewed them from the foothills because I wanted to try time lapse. Partially successful.
Liberty park is a better option in spite of, or because of the urban experience.
