I’ve been in every black hole
At the altar of the dark star
I was punching in the numbers at the ATM machine
I could see in the reflection
A face staring back at me
“I do not take any pain killers. I surrender myself to the Goddess, and she takes care of me. I have been performing Kaavadi ever since I was 6 year old. I have decided to continue with this ritual” shares Sadaiyan Muththuveeran (54) while hanging on hooks in Bambalapitty.
24th Annual Chariot festival of Sri Mayurapathy Paththirakaali temple is held today (6th of August 2011) in Colombo amidst heavy downpour. Five wooden carved chariots parade through the streets of Bambalapitty (Colombo 04), Havelock Town (Colombo 05) and Wellawatte (Colombo 06).
Devotees dressed elegantly and took part in religious rituals such as carrying clay pots of camphor, rolling themselves on the ground, smashing coconuts and hanging on hooks (Kaavadi ~ Men only). Few devotees who fulfill their vows, got into trance and danced on the streets. Devotional songs played throughout the dazzling parade. Traditional and non ~ traditional musical instruments added colour to the festival.

This 25 foot statue stands on the corner of 13 mile and Woodward in Royal Oak Michigan. It represents the famous kiss at the end of WWII in New York’s time square.
On June 20,2016 the statue was erected here in Royal Oak, Michigan after traveling from New Jersey. It will remain on display for 6 months to raise awareness and inspire donations for the WWII Legacy Memorial planned for the RO memorial park. This statue is one of four statues and the only one that moves around the country. The other three statues are permanently displayed, one in Sarasota, one in San Diego and one in Normandy, France.
Here is the statue resting on a flat bed on Woodward Avenue as workers prep the stand it will eventually be standing on.
Yes - this is for real - don't know what kind of spider this is, but it was big enough that I was afrraid to get too close to it! It looks like some kind of cartoon character if you ask me!
Fascism is a complete abdication of personal responsibility. You are surrendering all responsibility for your own actions to the state in the belief that in unity there is strength, which was the definition of fascism represented by the original Roman symbol of the bundle of bound twigs. yes, it is a very persuasive argument: “In unity there is strength.” But inevitably people tend to come to the conclusion that the bundle of twigs will be much stronger if all the twigs are of a uniform size and shape[.] So it goes from “in unity there is strength” to “in uniformity there is strength”, and from there it proceeds to the excess of fascism as we’ve seen them excercise throughout the twentieth century and into the twenty-first.
Now anarchy, on the other hand, is almost starting from the principle that “in diversity there is strength”, which makes more sense from the point of view of looking at the natural world. [sic] The whole program of evolution seems to be to diversify, because in diversity there is strength.
And if you apply that on a social level, you get something like anarchy. Everybody is recognised as having their own abilities, their own particular agendas, and everybody has their own need to work cooperatively with other people.

This Agorius sp also belongs to the jumping spider family, Salticidae. It also mimics another creature- an ant.
Notice although it has 8 legs, it tends to raise the 2 front legs hence giving the impression it actually has 6 legs plus a pair of antannae.
Compared to the Myrmarachne, Agorius lacks the extended jaws.
"It’s all about the talent, commitment all the way.
It’s discipline and practice, a little every day.
You wanna be professional? Then you must get in line.
Get ready to surrender your heart, your brains, your time!"
Gregory Chen, 2008

I didn't bother smuggling in a proper camera, but the quality of Nexus One's camera keeps positively surprising me.
Buoyancy
I saw you and became empty.
This emptiness, more beautiful than existence,
it obliterates existence, and yet when it comes,
existence thrives and creates more existence.
To praise is to praise
how one surrenders to the emptiness.
To praise the sun is to praise your own eyes.
Praise, the ocean. What we say, a little ship.
So the sea journey goes on, and who knows where?
Just to be held by the ocean is the best luck
we could have. It is a total waking-up.
Why should we grieve that we have been sleeping?
It does not matter how long we’ve been unconscious.
We are groggy, but let the guilt go.
Feel the notions of tenderness around you, the buoyancy.

Sweet Surrender – Photo Series
Model: Racheeda2000
Location: Sweet Surrender
Set within a dreamlike coastal landscape, Sweet Surrender unfolds as a visual journey between serenity, intimacy, and quiet strength. The location blends natural elements—rock formations, flowing water, lush greenery, and open sea views—into a poetic environment that feels both secluded and timeless.
Racheeda2000 moves through the scenery with effortless elegance, her presence calm yet expressive. Whether reclining on sunlit wooden decks, resting near gentle campfires inside coastal caves, or standing poised against vast ocean horizons, she becomes an organic part of the environment rather than a subject placed within it.
Soft natural lighting, combined with carefully chosen perspectives, highlights subtle emotions: contemplation, confidence, and surrender to the moment. The contrast between open landscapes and intimate spaces creates a cinematic rhythm—wide shots emphasize freedom and scale, while close-ups draw attention to refined details, facial expressions, and posture.
Sweet Surrender is not just a location, but a mood: a quiet escape where time slows, nature embraces the subject, and beauty reveals itself through stillness and balance.
