Those with somewhere to go, stay awake... those with nowhere to go, sleep.
In between them will be a train...

The puppy is still nameless--we've been batting about ideas all night. My dad said he would sleep on it. And then shocked me by kissing me goodnight and saying once again, "Thanks."
Holy CRAP. Who are you and what you have done with my real father?!!?
I can't wait to go to PetsMart and freakin' buy all the little toy dog stuff I have to avoid like the plague. PUPPY!!!!!!!!!!
For those who might be interested, I recently uploaded to my online book Photographic Psychology: Image and Psyche an article which suggests that all patterns in a photograph fall into two basic categories: geometric and organic. Some people say that abstract patterns are a third type, but I think they’re just a variation of the other two. I also explore the possible psychological meanings that we perceive in geometric and organic patterns. When we combine these two types in a photograph, we can comment on the relationship between human civilization and nature. For example, in this photo, I see humans attempting to contain, and walk around, the stark and rugged forces of nature.

When they say there isn't enough greenery in the city
They can't be looking very hard
Cause this whole place
Teems with Green.
For those of us intent on recycling those old newspapers and cans, Lane Gosnay of The Bugle Boy (a music venue that presents touring musicians in a living room type setting) in La Grange, Texas has taken the green concept and turned it into a challenge for everyone with one of the first solar-powered trucks in Texas. States Gosnay, "After seeing a documentary on Who Killed the Electric Car, I searched the internet to create a change for myself and act on the go green idea by investing in the SUNN electric vehicle. It makes a great enhancement to The Bugle Boy environment." Maintenance is a dream--consisting of checking the batteries, then the tires, and chain, like a bike. The creation of builder Art Haines of Maine, this green gem is the third he's produced and is street legal, goes 28 mph easily and has a range of 30 miles. What makes this electric vehicle unique is the large diameter wheels resulting in lowest rolling resistance, high use of free solar energy, low weight, and efficient power transmission to the wheels. What's next for Lane? "I'd like to eventually power The Bugle Boy with an alternative energy source, but for now I am enjoying getting around at no cost and being a part of something world changing. I'd like to see everyone take a hard look at what they are doing to preserve the natural resources we have and I challenge our community to be inventive and become part of the preservation solution. The internet is a vast source of amazing information. A simple search of "solar trucks", "electric vehicles", "no gas", “water conversion kits” or "magnet motors" will bring up several links to people manufacturing alternative energy solutions out of their own garages. Folks are taking out the engines in their cars and trucks and replacing them with electric motors. Others have invented working magnet motors or are converting existing gasoline engines to run with water increasing fuel efficiency by 40% or more. These are exciting times because information is viral over the internet and people can share the things that they are inventing. Real change will be driven by the people. I am launching a web page called www.nogasneeded.com where I will list links to some of the informative and interesting things that I have found online.”
And there are those irritating reflections again! Fascinated though as I was with those prehistoric skeletons, dating back to the 3rd and 4th century BC, photographing them was becoming rather difficult thanks to the reflections. This was the worst, and the last straw- I managed to work my way around this and get reflection-free photos of the graves after this- see subsequent pictures. We are in the Church of Kish in Azerbaijan. Detailed notes about the Church of Kish appeared in previous captions earlier in this album. (Sheki, Azerbaijan, Sept. 2017)
Another view of the open-air recreation yard at the D.C. jail that was used to hold about 1,000 of those arrested Monday, May 3, 1971 during civil disobedience designed to shut down the federal government. Over 7,000 were arrested.
“The arrival of the first food—bologna sandwiches—gave me the first hint. There I was—in the midst of 100 mostly young antiwar protesters—some 40 feet back from the bars and the electric gates (they don’t clang shut). My stomach was growling and it looked like it would continue. I was too far back to grab a sandwich.
“But somebody yelled to the ‘screw’—as the sympathetic jail personnel were affectionately called, “Don’t throw the sandwiches in; we’ll pass them back.”
“And back they came; hand by dirty hand, all the way back to the people sitting along the rear wall who got theirs first.
“When everybody had one sandwich—‘My compliments to the chef,’ said one inmate upon biting into fluffy bread containing a single slice of meat dabbed with rancid mayonnaise—the second sandwich ration was distributed in the same way.”—John Matthews, The Washington Star, 5/6/1971.
The Mayday Tribe, a loose knit group of individuals, collectives and affinity groups, organized an attempt to shut down the U.S. government in Washington, D.C. in protest of the continued war in Indochina May 3-5, 1971 through the use of non violence civil disobedience.

St Peter and St Paul, West Newton, Norfolk
West Newton is a pretty little village at the heart of the Sandringham estate. It is, in my opinion, the very model of what an estate village should be. The workers houses are fine, and constructed to a high standard. There are workshops that serve the estate, and one of those friendly-looking social clubs that you get in villages around here - it is said that Queen Alexandra disapproved of pubs, and so Edward VII gave the villages social clubs instead.
All of this is in the Arts and Crafts vernacular style of the day, and arranged pleasingly around the church of St Peter and St Paul on its mound at the heart of the village. On such a sunny day it felt a privilege to be here.
The 14th century tower of the church is grand and stately, and its solid carstone with freestone corners looks as if it might be made of gingerbread and icing. A beautiful contemporary image niche sits beside the west window. The 19th century pinnacles at the top are jaunty, if a little out of context on this tower. The body of the church is also carstone, built of blocks on the south side and in slipped layers on the north, as if this was a vast dry stone wall.
The churches of north-west Norfolk were in a pretty dreadful state by the middle of the 19th century. There are more ruined churches here than anywhere else in England. The purchase of the Sandringham estate by the Prince of Wales revitalised the local economy, and his patronage led to some pretty substantial restorations, most of which are to a very high standard in terms of both design and construction.
Few of the estate restorations were more substantial than that of West Newton. Apart from the tower, the church was almost completely rebuilt in 1880. The architect was, perhaps surprisingly, Arthur Blomfield, who we rarely see on such an intricate scale in East Anglia. Here, he is at his highest, putting into practice the Prince of Wales's Anglo-catholic sympathies and producing a very Arts and Crafts feel to the interior, particularly with the cottage-style windows in the aisles.
One of the windows is filled with the memorial to Captain Frank Beck, who was killed along with many of his men at Suvla Bay in Gallipoli on 12th August 1915. It is the work of Karl Parsons, one of the greatest of all stained glass artists of the first half of the 20th Century.
Only a couple of those large pagodas at The Bayon actually house a temple. Here is the Buddha image in one of the rooftop shrines of the temple. I am in the Bayon temple, one of the scores of Angkor era temples which dot the countryside around Siem Reap, Cambodia. Since the time of the Khmer king Jayavarman VII, the Bayon has undergone numerous additions and alterations at the hands of subsequent monarchs. During the reign of Jayavarman VIII in the mid-13th century, the Khmer empire reverted to Hinduism and its state temple was altered accordingly. In later centuries, Theravada Buddhism became the dominant religion in the region, so this led to still further changes, before the temple was eventually abandoned to the jungle. Current features which were not part of the original plan include the terrace to the east of the temple, the libraries, the square corners of the inner gallery, and parts of the upper terrace. Detailed notes about the Bayon temple appeared earlier in this album (see previous pictures) and also appear later on as we go along in this album. (see subsequent images).
