the entrance steps are next to be plastered


the temperature inside is temperate in the arid landscape, with cool breezes floating through the vents


this is feeling like it could be a perfect meditation destination


the ceiling is a beautiful clay and straw


the other side of the dome has another bench, here use as an altar


a built in bench or altar sits waiting


the vaulted entrance feels earthy and organic, mystical


the dome is looking like chiseled rock


and the family of bears, in honor of the name of this place, arrives with a yucca plant


Yat Ping applies more lime wash to harden the clay surface


and then a prickly pear is mirrored on the entry vault


Yat Ping overlays more clay for relief figurines


a rabbit emerges on the dome
