A final snapshot of the urethane version of "Unconditional Surrender" at Tuna Harbor Park. (Photos courtesy Dale Frost/Port of San Diego).
Suddenly everything halts to a full stop
(in a screeching railroads kind of way)
And all I can do now
is listen to the whispering wisdom
in the wind and the water
patiently telling us to lower the pace
and surrender to nature.

"Surrender"
Tweaked it a little. Finished and signed. We all have to surrender at some point. Physically, emotionally, mentally. One can't hide. You have to let go. To hand over. Get of our bike. Slow down. Better sooner rather then later. For sure. You tumble down if you surrender only to fly to unknown

Isolation
Joy Division
In fear every day, every evening
He calls her aloud from above
Carefully watched for a reason
Painstaking devotion and love
Surrendered to self preservation
From others who care for themselves
A blindness that touches perfection
But hurts just like anything else
Isolation, isolation, isolation
Mother, I tried please believe me
I'm doing the best that I can
I'm ashamed of the things I've been put through
I'm ashamed of the person I am
Isolation, isolation, isolation
But if you could just see the beauty
These things I could never describe
These pleasures a wayward distraction,
This is my one lucky prize
Isolation, isolation, isolation
Isolation
Ok i have been up for about three hours debating on putting this photo up. It has been a lot of work putting this image together I have about 20 layers to this image. It was an image that was dreamed up in my sleep, this women is having everything pulled from her. Maybe she has just been through to much? Maybe she has given up all hope? She is letting it all out as she is being pulled through the air. Life is to short to keep all of our anger, sadness, and discontent inside of our human bodies. The universe is always asking us to free ourselves of these chains. I say to you all never let your fear and sadness keep you down, surrender it all and let it be pulled from your body and soul. Stay strong and remember that we all have something great to offer in this life. I would love to have some feedback on this image. Thank you all and have a safe week.
Later Friends!
Japanese officers surrendered their swords as a public humiliation. These two swords (on mount) were surrendered by the Japanese generals commanding the Air Army in Malaya and the Air Division in Burma to New Zealander Air Chief Marshall Sir Keith Park, Commander-in-Chief Allied Air Forces South East Asia, at the formal surrender ceremony in Singapore on 12 September 1945.

Hitler was intent on starving the British into surrender by sinking the supply ships they so desperately needed - and he had the perfect weapon to do it, the Unterseeboot ("undersea boat"), or U-boat. U-boats could slip underwater, sneak up on unsuspecting merchant ships and destroy them with explosive torpedoes. They nearly brought Germany to victory in WWI, and they were back with a vengeance in WWII.
Targeting Americans
After declaring war on the United States, Hitler wasted no time in turning his U-boats on American ships. In January 1942, he launched Operation Paukenschlag ("Drumbeat")- a series of surprise U-boat attacks within 100 miles of America's eastern seaboard. In the first two weeks, 25 ships totaling 200,000 tons, were sent to the bottom of the sea. Between January and July 1942, more than 2 million tons of Allied shipping were sunk by successive waves of German U-boats deployed from the St. Lawrence Seaway to the Gulf of Mexico., On June 19, 1942, Army Chief of Staff, General George C. Marshall wrote, "The losses by submarines off our Atlantic seaboard and in the Caribbean now threaten the entire war effort."
By late summer 1942, the German U-boat assault began to falter as escorted convoys grew more numerous and Allied anti-submarine patrols were mobilized in greater numbers. Still, the U-boats continued to inflict heavy losses on Allied merchant shipping. British Prime Minister Winston Churchill feared that the U-boats' successes in U.S. waters would lead to an acute shortage in merchant ships and cut off vital supply lines between the United States and Great Britain. As Churchill would later record: "The Battle of the Atlantic was the dominating factor all through the war. for a moment could we forget that everything happening elsewhere on land, at sea and in the air, ultimately depended on its outcome."

Antique botanical lithograph printed by the United States Department Of Agriculture highlighting an especially promising new fruit or vegetable discovery.
This pretty lithograph series was done between the years of 1901 through 1910.. Each print measures 6" x 9" overall and they're all in gorgeous condition. These vintage prints are especially nice framed and displayed in an old fashioned kitchen.
Much thanks to Phil Romans for allowing me to use his Tree in fog image.
Thanks to cloaks for her wonderful texture and to Marcus Ranum for his beautiful models - Drac Bride & Kithos in White.

We surrender. Erin and I will be returning to the US in three weeks. Rather than spend our precious time hopelessly trying to keep the blog updated, we're temporarily giving up.
When we get back to America and have a bit of spare time, we plan on blogging the rest of the trip. Whether that will actually happen or not, we don't know.
Although it's been great to keep y'all in the loop, the primary purpose of this blog for us has been to preserve some memories before they all jumble together in our minds. Since we want to remember the last six weeks of the trip, we theoretically ought to be inspired to finish the posts.
In the meantime, we plan on spending more of our time in hammocks, and less in internet cafes.
These leaflets were air dropped in the Hobo Woods during operation Barking Sands. I found it during a search and destroy operation there. If anyone can interpret this document, I would appreciated it. It appears to indicate that they should surrender or die.

My first levitation shot.
I was trying to create that feeling of on the verge of giving up, of surrendering.
Any comments greatly appreciated.
