This is the house across from the stucco and terracotta roofed place.
As I said, architecturally, the two places couldn't be more different. This one is but more than a spacious farm house, the other is much more a villa. Still, both are beautiful, at least to a crazy like me.

It did not take long to know who the winner was in this little confrontation. The crow, to escalate the row, took a few hopping steps towards the kite as if to challenge it. The kite then thought it best to quit the scene handicapped as it was with the precious twig in its beak. It took off, circled the tree and landed on the other side where the nest is being built. Thus ended this little tiff between the crow and kite. To know how it all began, click here!
Hessians, or trained German mercenaries hired by Britian, were surprised on December 26th by George Washingtons troops and quickly surrendered.
She reads a book from across the street
Waiting for someone that she'll never meet.
Talk over coffee for an hour or two,
She wonders why I'm always in a good mood.
Killin' time before she struts her stuff,
She needs supporting, I'll become the crutch.
She'll never know how much she means to me.
I´d play the game but I'm the referee.
Surrender every word, every thought every sound.
Surrender every touch, every smile, every frown.
Surrender all the pain we've endured until now.
Surrender all the hope that I lost you have found.
Surrender yourself to me.
Even though I know what I'm lookin' for,
She's got a brick wall behind her door.
I´d travel time and confess to her,
But I'm afraid she'd shoot the messenger.
Surrender every word, every thought every sound.
Surrender every touch, every smile, every frown.
Surrender all the pain we've endured until now.
Surrender all the hope that I lost you have found.
Surrender yourself to me.
I think I found a flower a field of words,
I think I found a flower in a field of words.
Searching until my hands bleed,
This flower don't belong to me.
I think I found her suffering a field of words,
I think I found her frowning in a field of words.
Searching until my hands bleed,
This flower don't belong to me.
This flower don't belong to me.
Why could she belong to me?
Every word, every thought every sound.
Every touch, every smile, every frown.
All the pain we've endured until now.
All the hope that I lost you have found.
Surrender every word, every thought every sound.
Surrender every touch, every smile, every frown.
Surrender all the pain we've endured until now.
Surrender all the hope that I lost you have found.
(Surrender) I never had the nerve to ask,
(Surrender) as my moment had come and passed.

the afterlife
today is
yesterday's tomorrow,
and this is
the only afterlife
i know.
we chose
heaven and hell
and all
in between
with each
and every
breath.
surrendering to grace
instantly
burns all karma
to ashes;
god's infinite mercy
manifests
in a blink
of an eyelid.
so die right now
ya yosy!
and thus
live
forever.

Day 116 of 365: "Moment of Surrender"
From the looks of it, this old church ready to surrender itself to the laws of physics and nature and eventually, and sadly, be gone for good. It looks like the only thing holding this old church together is a higher power, a force greater than itself.
For me that greater power is my creativity; at times, that's all that holds me together.
Almost a third of the way through this photo a day project, I'm beginning to realize that I have to surrender myself to my art, sometimes get out of its way and just let it happen. I have to surrender myself to my creativity and not care what others think. And yet, when I do, will anybody notice?
"At the moment of surrender
I folded to my knees
I did not notice the passers-by
And they did not notice me
I've been in every black hole
At the altar of the dark star
My body's now a begging bowl
That's begging to get back, begging to get back
To my heart
To the rhythm of my soul
To the rhythm of my unconsciousness
To the rhythm that yearns
To be released from control" - U2

‘Unconditional Surrender’
This statue is a series of sculptures by Seward Johnson resembling a photograph by Alfred Eisenstaedt, V–J day in Times Square, but said by Johnson to be based on a similar, less well known, photograph by Victor Jorgensen.
Grounds For Sculpture
Nestled in the heart of central New Jersey lies Grounds For Sculpture, a magical place where art and nature are always at play. At its core are more than 270 sculptures by renowned and emerging contemporary artists, each thoughtfully positioned on meticulously landscaped parkland full of thousands of exotic trees and flowers. It is a feast for the senses.
The works, many of them monumental, include those of such distinguished artists as Clement Meadmore, Anthony Caro, Beverly Pepper, Kiki Smith, George Segal, Magdalena Abakanowicz, and Isaac Witkin. They join the enchanting works of our visionary founder Seward Johnson as well as many others by the finest up and coming artists of our time.
A U.S. Army color guard and firing detail from the 3d U.S. Infantry Regiment (The Old Guard) were part of the opening ceremonies April 9, 2015, for a special observance and reenactment for the 150th anniversary of Gen. Robert E. Lee’s surrender of the Confederate Army of Northern Virginia to Union Gen. Ulysses S. Grant April 9, 1865, at Appomattox, Va. The Old Guard served at Appomattox in 1865. The event featured hundreds of Civil War reenactors, such as those shown here, and thousands of spectators. (Photos courtesy Kim and Mary Jane Holien)

The Fine People At Wikipeda have this to say about the original picture(s) this was based on.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/V%E2%80%93J_day_in_Times_Square
V–J day in Times Square, perhaps the most famous photograph by Alfred Eisenstaedt, is of an American sailor kissing a young woman on V-J Day in Times Square on August 14, 1945, that was originally published in Life magazine. (The photograph is known under various names: V-J day in Times Square, V-Day, etc.[1])
Because Eisenstaedt was photographing rapidly changing events during the V-J celebrations he didn't get a chance to get names and details. The photograph does not clearly show the faces of either kisser and several people have laid claim to being the subjects. The photo was shot just south of 45th Street looking north from a location where Broadway and Seventh Avenue converge.

However it does seem this statute is based on another photo taken at the same time by a navy photographer. (from the same Wiki entry):
U.S. Navy photo journalist Victor Jorgensen captured another view of the same scene, which was published in the New York Times.[4] This photograph shows less of Times Square in the background and does not show the full body of either the sailor or the nurse. Unlike the Eisenstaedt photograph, this photograph is in the public domain (by virtue of being produced by a federal government employee on official position).
