Yuri’s Night Parties in Iran
a
Yuri’s Night Executive Director Dr. Ryan Kobrick has been ‘Exploring with Yuri’ for over 10 years. This photo was taken the day after his wedding in Yellowstone National Park above Grand Prismatic Spring. Jen and Ryan tied the knot at Madison Amphitheater on August 5th 2012, and by cosmic coincidence, share their special date with Curiosity’s landing on Mars.

Flaming bolides across the darkened arch of heaven,

smashing into subliminal depths of species memory?

Why did we abandon the savannah of grass and sun and moon and stars?
