TENT AND PROJECT SITE

Here is the tent on site. From the project site one could see and hear the traffic on Tournament Road, the I-5 freeway, the many planned neighborhoods of Valencia, Stevenson Ranch and beyond populating the valley and the hills in the distance. One could hear children playing at a park right next to the hill where the tent was installed. At night, the traffic's drone was both strangely soothing and eerie: it was a constant reminder of the suburban setting in the midst of a repertoire of muffled sounds of the hill's wildlife. I had been told, repeatedly, to expect "visitors" (coyotes, rabbits, ground squirrels) at one point or another but the four nights I spent at the tent were remarkably uneventful.
