Finally escaping the noise of the main road, I walked round a field, through some trees and then popped out into the odd sight of Cold Combes. A large valley area, with sheep grazing at one end, much of the rolling landscape had been ploughed ready for planting.

Description: Comb grave of Laura Mainord in Holman Cemetery in Overton Co., Tenn.
Date: June 3, 2014
Creator: Dr. Richard Finch
Collection name: Richard C. Finch Folk Graves Digital Photograph Collection
Historical note: Comb graves are a type of covered grave that are often called "tent graves." The length of the grave was covered by rocks or other materials that look like the gabled roof or comb of a building. They were popular in the 19th and early 20th centuries. It is conjectured that these graves were covered to protect them from either weather or animals, or perhaps both. While comb graves can be found in other southern states, the Cumberland Plateau in Tennessee has the highest concentration of these types of graves.

Ukiyo-e image of a girl and her comb run through a dreamscape filter.
Google recently released software (source code so far, and so far as I can tell, running only on Linux without some changes) that uses AI to "understand" images then apply a set of pre-understood images to the first image, making for some really bizarre results (as you can see here). Today I found two program (one on Android and one on iOS) that appear to implement Google's algorithms for mobile (which means a really long processing time since the images are sent to servers, processed, then returned to the mobile device) so naturally enough I had to play around with the programs. Each program needs work but the results are pretty good (if low resolution).
One interesting thing about these images is when viewed as a thumbnail, the image looks "relatively" normal but when viewed full size, looks like something out of a nightmare.

Yorùbá people believe that a person’s destiny is determined by their Orí (head).
“Ori is not a divinity. The Ori is what holds an individual destiny. The Ori is in control of one’s daily ups and downs. Ori could be considered as personal god or guardian angel who will accompany each of us for life. Even the gods have their Ori which directs their personal lives. Ori is human consciousness.”- Iyalorisa Omitonade Ifawemimo (priestess and role model to young Yorùbá girls).
Although some Yorùbá people use straightening chemicals and weaves, many people still do use natural soaps, oils, butters and wooden combs. Some combs are elaborately carved or decorated, but this one is simple, with the word ‘love’ written on it. What do you use to treat or style your hair?
