~No more blood
just ice in my veins
your backstabbing made me this way
i used to think that we were the same
now i just want to watch you bleed
watch you bleed
broken trust~
"Broken Hill", Torrey Pines, San Diego, California. From the side, it looks like a hill that has had the middle eroded out. That is the Pacific Ocean in the background.
Broken statue and grave slab in St. Raphael Cemetery near Plaquemine, Louisiana. My guess is that this grave was hit by a falling tree. I remember this cemetery being grown up with brush and trees years ago but now it is cleaned and is currently in use.
Tonight we visited the Museum of Broken Relationships, which is in London for a limited period. It's mostly artefacts from broken relationships but there's also some commissioned art thrown in, including this sculpture by George Triggs, Broken.
Blue undies: She is my first broken petite. I repaired her a long time ago. She is here for moral support for her sisters.
Wasted and wounded, it aint what the moon did, Ive got what I paid for now
See you tomorrow, hey frank, can I borrow a couple of bucks from you
To go waltzing mathilda, waltzing mathilda,
You'll go waltzing mathilda with me
Im an innocent victim of a blinded alley
And Im tired of all these soldiers here
No one speaks english, and everythings broken, and my stacys are soaking wet
To go waltzing mathilda, waltzing mathilda,
You'll go waltzing mathilda with me
Now the dogs are barking and the taxi cabs parking
A lot they can do for me
I begged you to stab me, you tore my shirt open,
And I'm down on my knees tonight
Old bushmills I staggered, you'd bury the dagger
In your silhouette window light go
To go waltzing mathilda, waltzing mathilda,
You'll go waltzing mathilda with me
Now I lost my saint christopher now that I've kissed her
And the one-armed bandit knows
And the maverick chinamen, and the cold-blooded signs,
And the girls down by the strip-tease shows, go
Waltzing mathilda, waltzing mathilda,
Youll go waltzing mathilda with me
No, I don't want your sympathy, the fugitives say
That the streets aren't for dreaming now
And manslaughter dragnets and the ghosts that sell memories,
They want a piece of the action anyhow
Go waltzing mathilda, waltzing mathilda,
You'll go waltzing mathilda with me
And you can ask any sailor, and the keys from the jailor,
And the old men in wheelchairs know
And mathilda is the defendant, she has killed about a hundred,
And she follows wherever you may go
Waltzing mathilda, waltzing mathilda,
You'll go waltzing mathilda with me
And its a battered old suitcase to a hotel someplace,
And a wound that will never heal
No prima donna, the perfume is on an
Old shirt that is stained with blood and whiskey
And goodnight to the street sweepers, the night watchmen flame keepers
And goodnight to mathilda, too
waltzing mathilda, or, Tom Traubert's blues - Tom Waits
A broken window in the Wudadao neighborhood of Tianjin, China.
Wudadao (五大道), or the Five Main Avenues, are an affluent and historic section of Tianjin, China, in the Heping district just south of downtown. They five main avenues (streets more than avenues) are: Chongqing, Changde, Dali, Munan, and Machang. They take their names from cities in southwestern China.
This is a small, eminently walkable neighborhood (nearest subway station is Xiaobailou on line 1) that is most renowned for being eclectic. It is primarily residential, but sprinkled throughout the neighborhood are quite a few chic restaurants, trendy boutiques, a few sculptures, and a small park. The avenues have an east-west alignment and – from at least two of them – there are nice views of the Tianta Television Tower to the west that can be framed by the tree-lined avenues.
Wudadao is a photographers’ delight. Architecturally, it has a smattering of quite a few different styles: Renaissance, Greek, Gothic, and Romantic. The area designates 230 buildings as historic with those architectural styles from Britain, France, Germany, Italy, and Spain. About 50 of the houses have been lived in by local and national celebrities which also adds to the quirky attractiveness.
Strolling the avenues with a camera is a wonderful way to spend a morning or afternoon. Stop in and grab a bite at any of the restaurants in the neighborhood. (I’m personally quite fond of Chateau 35 on Changde Dao which is one of the best steakhouses in Tianjin.)
If you are tired of strolling – though the area isn’t terribly large – you also have the option of renting bikes to ride around (standard, tandem, or “bike carts”) or even touring the area by horse and buggy. You will most certainly run into photographers like me trolling the streets and probably be pleasantly surprised by the area.
