MICHAEL ROBINSON'S
SOLAR-POWERED FINE-ART STUDIOS
Set on the "Top Of The World"
on the Continental Divide at 8000 feet atop Elk Ridge, NM, is a pioneering off-grid
Solar-Powered artist's enclave featuring a modern fine-art print shop operated
entirely from sunshine and wind. This superb location offers inspiring views
in all directions, of an ancient seabed in old Apache country and prospects
of the many-hued Sawtooth Mountain range. The co-located solar-powered astronomical
and solar observatories directly connect artist, astronomer, and mystic alike,
with the awesome spectacle of the on-going cosmological creation and the thrill
of observing our dynamic universe directly or with the enhanced hyper-spectral
view of fine optics coupled with solar powered scientific instrumentation..
Here you can gaze at the stars of startling brilliance in the darkest skies
of the Southwest; you will see fabled sunsets and cloudscapes in the luminous
desert air; you will experience the silence, deep and soothing, of the High
New Mexican desert while peering into other worlds and distant nebulae and galaxies.
Here is the opportunity for solitude and communion, and unimaginable artistic
inspiration.
Pristine water, from hundreds of
feet below, will refresh the body and spirit.
Meanwhile ancient, deep, and healing intergalactic photons, from the distant
boundaries of the cosmos sooth and massage your retinal, and occipital senses,
heightening your awareness and bonding your consciousness quanta, to forevermore
become entangled, with the healing forces and fond memories, of the colossus
of extant, and verdant, celestial creation.
The darkest and clearest skies in the continental United States, provide breathtaking views of the Cosmos that will convince your senses that you have left the Earth far behind, and that you are actually peering through a porthole on a Star Ship.
Want to take a ride?
Proximity to wilderness, hiking, canyons, lava fields, geological treasures, ancient caverns; to hunting and fishing and to radio astronomy, Unidentified Flying Object Landing Zones and crash sites, and Virgin Galactic's Spaceport America, make this undiscovered retreat uniquely delightful.
Dine out at either the Daily Pie
Café, or, on weekends, at the Pie-oneer restaurant
Available for rental is a superbly hand-figured Obsession 20" Dobsonion
telescope with operator-Astronomer/Artist Michael Robinson, at his Star Rancher
Observatory.
Here you may take a "Tour of the Universe," observing planets, star clusters, nebulae and galaxies (weather permitting…darkest skies occur within 3-4 days of a New Moon)
