yi-ching lin photography 
years later, these words
still possess strong
spines, can hold
themselves up like
matches, climbing
the gangway stairs
into the belly of a
dirigible. whither
they sail, over
and again, there
can be no
happy ending, the
sky is all too clear

Yi-ching was a lovely image. So nice to see such a surreal image. Any thing I should know about the image.
yes, Walter! in the foreground is the BUCKYBALL, created by Leo Villareal, inspired by Buckminster Fuller, currently installed in Madison Square Park (until February 15th). in the background, of course, is the Empire State Building, whose Art Deco spire was originally designed to be a mooring mast and depot for dirigibles! (links are embedded within the names, please click). thank you for asking!
You made it!!
yes! i spent a glorious hour, lying on a wooden wave, letting the sunset come! (smile)
