Slovakian video artist adapts Redding music

Chill out for a Sunday evening. Vojtech Matlák is a video artist in Reca Slovakia. Recently he created this mashup of video imagery set to Redding musician Craig Padilla’s Spirit Signs. 8 minutes of introspective meditation awaits:

Craig’s instrumental music has always been very visual for me, and evidently for others as well. Interesting that the internet allows this connection between artists half a world apart. Yet not really apart at all. It’s Really Redding.Craig greenjpg

I captured this image while shooting an upcoming home listing in Ono.

There’s a mountain lion in town

You may have seen this Mountain Lion image from a friend’s home on Pallisades in Redding. Some have commented that it was photoshopped, but we know it was not. The point being that you need to be careful with your pets and above all – if you have ever seen a big cat react to seeing a child I don’t have to tell you this – especially children. We live at the wildland interface in Redding, and here is clear evidence.

Redding Dragstrip first race of 2014 tonight!

For a while, it looked like our dragstrip might not even open this year. A true Redding institution, the longest continuously operating NHRA dragstrip in the known universe was looking for new management. Luckily, Shirlene Bramson of Bramson Drag Strip stepped up to fill the leadership role. In short order, she and a host of volunteers have hustled up the work to get the strip ready for another season. Tonight is the first Street Legal event, and it comes in the nick of time, as we know there has been some illegal and extremely dangerous street racing taking place in the absence of the track.

Tonight, that all changes.
First race
