Symmetrical view of the main entrance to the "municipal slaughterhouse" in Alboraia, a small town in the outskirts of Valencia. I'd love to try this shot with a wide angle lens someday ...
An aside: While uploading this one I've been reminded of a book I read not long ago, Slaughterhouse 5, by Kurt Vonnegut, whose satirical swing, cold as ice, is hard to rival.
You may want to see this image in large size. I think it improves.
Mr. Vonnegut you will be remembered. And not just for your splendid doodles of buttholes. (That's my roommate Madeline with that amazing new tattoo, which she got the day he passed away.)
God grant me
The serenity to accept
The things I cannot change,
Courage
To change the things I can,
And wisdom always
To tell the
Difference
This is my first tattoo. I had wanted it for four years and finally worked up the strength to get it, plus it's been a very hard year for me so it only seemed appropriate. This is not the design or lettering I wanted when I first went in to the tattoo shop. However, I am extremely happy with it. I hope it stays that way.
For those of you that don't know, "So It Goes," is a famous line from the American writer, Kurt Vonnegut Jr.'s most famous novel, Slaughterhouse 5.
Slaughterhouse 5 is one of the greatest anti-war novels ever written, and was banned in the U.S. for several years. Some states still make it illegal for Slaughterhouse 5 to be taught in schools, and Sarah Palin tried to ban the book in public libraries in Alaska.

Here's the first version of the custom Slaughter. I have a Retaliation Road Block with the camo pants coming. That's going to be the body I'm going to use.
Did you know Kurt Vonnegut attended Cornell University? At least for a little while. Apparently he was also a brother at DU. This graffiti is behind the DU house on University Ave at Cornell. So it Goes...
So it goes, an enternal reminder from Kurt Vonnegut's "Slaughterhouse 5" that things are as they always have been and always will be.
Katz and I went and visited Slaughterhouse 5 and he ended up in the torture chamber, for some reason.
He'll never ride a horse again.
Untouched and better large.
I was cleaning crap out of the basement before it flooded and found this rally announcement in a stack of paper.
For a 150 odd page book - this packs it in. A very powerful read, and after meaning to read it for 10 years, it has made me think i really need to read some more of Vonnegut's novels, having only read Cat's Cradle before this.

You can read my review of this novel here.
when the Universe tells you to slow down there's only one thing to do, hit the local cafe with a good book, some good tunes, no intention, and just take your time. everything soon come. :)
It is so short and jumbled and jangled, Sam, because there is nothing intelligent to say about a massacre. Everybody is supposed to be dead, to never say anything or want anything ever again. Everything is supposed to be very quiet after a massacre, and it always is, except for the birds.
And what do the birds say? All there is to say about a massacre, things like "Poo-tee-weet?"
