Las Pozas of Edward James: Surrealism in the Mexican Jungle

Three years ago, Kelly and I spent a day roaming around the concrete fantasies -- wait a minute, how can a fantasy be concrete? By being  architectural, constructed of concrete in the jungle of San Luis Potosi...

Recently I made a short video from photos taken that day. Here it is:

I made the video late one night, and when I went to bed, the images of that magical jungle spot kept moving in front of my eyes. You can see a selection of images at my page on Las Pozas of Edward James,  and here's the link to my blog about going to Edward James' Las Pozas. This second one has a surreal photo-collage that I was inspired to make after being there.

That blog entry is also interesting for the comments to it. I mention Carmelo Muñoz, who was James' architect and building construction contractor, and a couple of his grandsons found the blog entry and made comments. Later renowned potter Ken Edwards chimed in with his tale of Edward James, and more recently someone who has been there recently commented on things as they are now.
