She loves the Desolation in Death Valley...
We see rocks rubbed raw by the sand and eons of devilish heat. Some places, the rise of dirt from valley into foothills is as graceful and pink as the naked thigh of a woman nestled in mauve bed sheets. The terrain is alien... from the odd extra terrestrial shapes…

Long before the folks at Disney conjured up the image of the nymphetesque Ariel, with her plume of crimson hair and ample seashells, the famed Danish storyteller described a group of sisters, daughters of the Sea King, with beautiful voices and…
