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
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!
Passerelle Saint-Jean - MuCEM 31/08/2013 17h54
The footbridge between MuCEM and the refurbished and restored fortification Saint-Jean is an art object by itself.
Fort Saint-Jean
Fort Saint-Jean is a fortification in Marseille, built in 1660 by Louis XIV at the entrance to the Old Port. Since 2013 it is linked by two thin bridges to the historical district Le Panier and to the first French national museum to be located outside Paris; called Musée des Civilisations de l'Europe et de la Méditerranée.
History:
Fort Saint-Jean was built on a site earlier occupied by the Military Order of the Knights Hospitaller of Saint John, from which the new building deprived its name. Fort Saint-Nicolas was constructed at the same time on the opposite side of the harbour. Commenting on their construction, Louis XIV said, "We noticed that the inhabitants of Marseille were extremely fond of nice fortresses. We wanted to have our own at the entrance to this great port." In fact, the two new forts were built in response to a local uprising against the governor, rather than for the defence of the city: their cannons pointed inwards towards the town, not outwards towards the sea.
Two earlier buildings were incorporated into the structure of the fort: the twelfth century Commandry of the Knights Hospitaller of St John of Jerusalem, which served as a monastic hospice during the crusades; and the fifteenth century tower of René I, King of Provence.
In April 1790 Fort Saint-Jean was seized by a revolutionary mob who decapitated the chevalier de Beausse, commander of the royal garrison, when he was captured after refusing to surrender the fortress. During the subsequent French Revolution the fort was used as a prison, holding Louis Philippe II, Duke of Orléans, and two of his sons, Louis-Charles, Count of Beaujolais, and Antoine Philippe, Duke of Montpensier. Following the overthrow of Robespierre in 1794 about a hundred Jacobin prisoners held in the fort were massacred.
Throughout the 19th and early 20th centuries Fort Saint-Jean was in the possession of the French Army, who utilised it as a barracks and clearing station for the Army of Africa. During the years when the French Foreign Legion was based mainly in North Africa (1830 to 1962), the fort was a final stop-off point for recruits for the Legion destined for basic training in Algeria.
During World War II Fort Saint-Jean was occupied by the German military in November 1942. In August 1944 during the liberation of Marseilles, the explosion of a munitions depot within the fort destroyed much of its historic battlements and buildings. Although returned to the French Army, Fort Saint-Jean remained in a neglected and disused state until it was passed to the Ministry of Cultural Affairs in 1960. Classified as a historical monument in 1964, the damaged portions of the fort were reconstructed between 1967 and 1971.
From 2013 the Fort Saint-Jean is to be a part of the MuCEM.

25-foot-tall, 6,000-pound sculpture called “Unconditional Surrender” near Tuna Harbor in downtown San Diego. J. Seward Johnson created the artwork of a sailor kissing a nurse based on a photo taken on the day World War II ended. For the next year, the sculpture will stand next to the USS Midway Museum.
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.

Theme "Surrender" for Illustration Friday weekly challenge.
Joshua SURRENDERED to sleep before 3pm on the first day of preschool
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.
I have never liked the game of Risk, I don't think I am ruthless enough. I never want to wipe someone out completely. My husband never had a problem wiping me out! Choice: fight on or surrender!

You say you have a plan for me
And that you want the best for my life
Told me the world had yet to see
What you can do with one
That's committed to Your calling
I know of course what I should do
That I can't hold these dreams forever
If I give them now to You
Will You take them away forever?
Or can I dream again?
Surrender, surrender you whisper gently
You say I will be free
I know but can't you see?
My dreams are me.
sometimes I forget that He is in control of my life. that what I want might not be what His plan is for me. and that sometimes things might not happen in the way that I want them to but He is still in control of my life and I need to surrender to Him.
"For I know the plans I have for you, declares the LORD, plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope."
He has a plan for me, for my future, for now and for my life and I should trust Him. whether it's what I'm going to do later in my life or a test in school I need to trust that He is in control and He is doing what is best for my life. and sometimes I don't listen to Him and I wonder why everything is not going the way I want it to and everything is so horrible. but really I just need to surrender my life to Him. because He is in control, and He won't let me fall.

My first levitation shot.
I was trying to create that feeling of on the verge of giving up, of surrendering.
Any comments greatly appreciated.
This little lady was surrendered to C.A.R.E.S. while pregnant. She's had her babies and now she's ready for a home of her own!
Mimosa is sweet, gentle and affectionate. She also likes to play! She is good with other cats and older children. We don't know how she is with dogs.
