Good night, art


A couple hours after sunset with a full moon


Transient art for transient people


1/3 of a mile down Route 66 (aka I-40)


Hello, full moon


I sure hope they can see us in the ISS!


I suspect the next time you fly into the Sunport at ABQ

you will be able to see Rainbow Warrior

Dancing in the desert


Carson, Amy, and a spectral figure


The desert outside Morioarty, New Mexico



Late night in Moriarty


 We have achieved Rainbow Warrior outside Moriarty, New Mexico. Each night, every night, those driving down I-40, who happen to look north as they pass exit 203, may see one of the colors of the rainbow dancing in the sky over the high plains desert. Thank you Travis Somerville and Dan Dodt for a beautiful artwork

We have achieved guests at Rio del Oro

HDTS caravan visitors to EbM and new Horizon!

Horizon Day 7: Llano Stories & Desert Dumballs


Today marked the completion of A New Horizon and the event Llano Stories and Desert Dumballs.  


The event included a local geologist, musician, poets and residents sharing stories about the surrounding Rio Grand valley close to the Rio del Oro site.


Many thanks to the participants and Scott Oliver for making such a rich event around the newly created concrete letters.

Also, many thanks to the folks at the Tome Art Center for hosting the reception that followed Llano Stories.  To us involved with Earthbound Moon, feeling so welcome in a new community is what makes each site so worthwhile.  We hope to be back soon.

Finally all of the letters have been poured.  The marathon of pouring finished at 6pm today with the last batch if concrete mixed by hand.  Tomorrow will be the exciting removal of the forms.

Some images from today:











Someday soon

Earthbound Moon will need one of these
