'You will not do anything which can hurt and harm anybody when your heart is controlled by love.' - Younus AlGohar
Can't believe theme week is coming up again so Wally is trying to think of a theme. Can you help him? The deeper he thinks, the more derpy he gets.

I spent some time looking out the window this morning.
Sometimes looking out the window can be cathartic in letting us listen to the background noise of our minds I think.
Like sitting on the seashore listening to the lullaby of the waves.
I was thinking about that theater shooting in Colorado.
It's such a horrible and senseless thing.
I read that the Whitehouse and a number of other state and local governments ordered their flags flown at half mast as a symbol of mourning for the victims of that barbarism.
I can understand that.
But further reading of the news points out that on average forty five people are shot and killed in the United States every day.
Every...
single...
day.
That's about one gun murder every half hour.
In Chicago over the Memorial Day weekend there were forty people shot... ten of them were killed.
Chicago they say, has become the 'murder capital.'
As the economy remains stagnant I've seen the streets get a lot 'dicier.'
I'm horrified at what that asshole did in Colorado at that movie theater.
He murdered fourteen people... one of them was a six year old girl.
It makes me think of some prick hurting my daughter.
If he hurt my kid I'd steal a bulldozer and ram it through the walls at that jail and there wouldn't be a trial... for that dickhead at least.
And I'd probably get off on a 'technicality.'
So our leaders order the flags flown at half mast in mourning for these victims.
But it almost seems disrespectful to all of the other people who are often solitary victims to gun violence to not recognize their plight.
I'll never take advantage of these situations to espouse some political view... that guns should be banned or that we as Americans have a fundamental right to bear arms.
I don't think that those things are even relevant.
I still believe that people have 'free will' even though that seems to be on the decline.
People who hurt other people and commit acts of violence are self centered and barbaric individuals.
That's the real issue.
And it becomes an issue on the day a child is born... how they're brought up... the morals and the values instilled within them.
Mom and dad are at the center of it all.
At least half the time.
The other half of the time children are brought up in single parent homes.
Like mine.
The media... the schools... video games... music... peers and popular culture can tear away at what even the most careful and conscientious parents strive to help their children become.
That kid just didn't wake up one day and decide to go shoot seventy or eighty people in that movie theater.
Some evil was brewing in him for a long time.
'What causes this evil' should be the question I suppose.
And while we're all wondering...
since that shooting...
two hundred and twenty five people have been gunned down in the United States.
Maybe we should just keep the flag at half mast.

Surrounded by the warm colors of autumn – a moment filled with calm, reflection, and quiet strength.
Shades of brown, gold, and a touch of melancholy – like autumn itself: fleeting, yet full of color and life.
And what do you associate with autumn?
___
Umgeben von den warmen Farben des Herbstes – ein Augenblick voller Ruhe, Nachdenklichkeit und stiller Stärke.
Brauntöne, Gold und ein Hauch Melancholie – wie der Herbst selbst: vergänglich und doch voller Farbe und Leben.
Und was verbindest du mit dem Herbst?

The first cut is the deepest, baby I know
The first cut is the deepest...
lyrics by Cat Stevens
Shot this in the Finger Lakes, New York while we were camping.
You know, I've been thinking about this shot after I posted it. The car, arguably one of the most important or at least, essential inventions in our day to day life. Of the 20th century in our first world countries anyway. Only a house is a bigger investment on average. It got us here where I shot this. It's protected me from the elements, my home away from home. And yet look at what it's doing to our planet, to our climate.
At the same time look at this sky. We aren't but a speck in the universe both in size and time. What does the universe care about the things we are doing to ourselves, to the things around us? If we are not careful we'll just be space junk. Humbling, really. It must have been the thing in my subconscious that decided to leave the car in the shot.

Written in these walls are the stories that I can't explain
I leave my heart open but it stays right here empty for days
She told me in the morning she don't feel the same about us in her bones
Seems to me that when I die these words will be written on my stone
And I'll be gone, gone tonight
The ground beneath my feet is open wide
The way that I've been holding on too tight
With nothing in between
The story of my life
I take her home
I drive all night to keep her warm
And time... is frozen
The story of my life
I give her hope
I spend her love
Until she's broke
Inside
The story of my life (the story of, the story of)
Written on these walls are the colors that I can't change
Leave my heart open but it stays right here in its cage
I know that in the morning now I see us in the light upon a hill
Although I am broken, my heart is untamed, still
And I'll be gone, gone tonight
The fire beneath my feet is burning bright
The way that I've been holding on so tight
With nothing in between
And I been waiting for this time to come around
But baby running after you is like chasing the clouds
The story of my life
I take her home
I drive all night to keep her warm
And time is frozen
The story of my life
I give her hope
I spend her love
Until she's broke (until she's broke inside)
Inside
The story of my life

Some of my conclusions at Stanford's VLAB 2014.
I am reminded of the closing chapter in Danny Hillis' book The Pattern on the Stone: “We will not engineer an artificial intelligence; rather we will set up the right conditions under which an intelligence can emerge. The greatest achievement of our technology may well be creation of tools that allow us to go beyond engineering – that allow us to create more than we can understand.”
"if you have to lose love,
then it's better to lose it under a streetlight
because it's easier to pick up the pieces."

as far as i know,
old derek
has resisted Lynch's
repeated requests
to include this image
in his upcoming show
on old hands.
so I got this idea to buy this cloak, and then I finally ordered it. They said 7 to 10 days. Took them over 24 days to finally get it to me. I have been trying to get around to taking pictures I want with it. But weather hasn't helped out any, and the paranoia of someone stealing my camera. while I am out blind taking pictures, or incapacitated to chase them down has limited me. But yet I try and draw inspiration from a couple different people I follow on here. People and pictures listed in spot of people in photo. So go check out my inspirations in their profile bubbles below. They are inspirations in different parts of this picture. I never seem to give people enough credit. So this is my little way of giving back.
