Esoterika

Wow, is this thing dusty... words still escape me (where is that butterfly net?), so let's start with some pictures from the latest Oregon Country Fair...

Having accessioned several former parking lots, the ever-evolving Fair amoeba (you certainly can't call it an '8' anymore) oozed into a lovely new area with lots of open space and many delights devoted purely to fun, beauty, and relaxation...

Giant prayer wheels made from metal storage drums, attractively housed...

( More pix behind the cut! )

How 'bout them kumquats?

Scythian paperweight

Pointless, of course. And yet so cool!

Of course, I even more want the Scythian jewelry replicas on that site... sigh.

As well as this , which I unexpectedly found when googling "Pazyryk shirt"...

Also, when the hell is the Hermitage going to put the Altai costume book on its website so I can buy it???? Hmph.
