Does this sound like someone who knows nothing of Baja

Silence of Baja


Orange-red sun awakening
Driving away the dawn
Chasing away the shadows

Bursting forth
Rushing into the sky
Over the Vermillion Sea

A land of silence
Harshness
And sudden change

Clouds forming slowly
Over the islands
Moving rapidly over land

Keening of the wind
Hackles rise
Assaulting the senses

The shriek…..of a hurricane
Crashing on shore
Wind and rain

Once dry arroyos
Flowing full
Boiling out to Sea

A land of silence
Harshness
Beauty and Pain

Nice Bernie, Nice ----makes a picture without the canvas. Good to see you posting on this board again my amigo. I always enjoy running into you down Mexico way as you have a lot of stories that are interesting along with being colorful about Baja.
