"And I thought to myself: No, this world is not a joke, not a vale of ordeal only and a passage to a better world, but one of the eternal worlds, which is good, joyful, and which we not only can, but must make finer and more joyful for those who will live in it after us." –Lev Tolstoy diary, June 14, 1894. Photo notes: This photo was taken on x-ray film (which softens the light) on a rainy say (diffuse light) at the Minnesota State Fairgrounds in May 2025.
