Two days after the last load I put into the washing machine, I found this dry, contorted object in the washer. I failed to see it when I transferred the wet laundry to the dryer. But it does make an interesting abstract, an unintended consequence.

Buddhism in Thailand is largely of the Theravada school. Nearly 95% of Thailand's population is Buddhist of the Theravada school, though Buddhism in this country has become integrated with folk beliefs such as ancestor worship. Thai Buddhism was based on the religious movement founded in the sixth century B.C. by Siddhartha, later known as the Buddha, who urged the world to relinquish the extremes of sensuality and self-mortification and follow the enlightened Middle Way...... The focus of this religion is on man, not gods; the assumption is that life is pain or suffering, which is a consequence of craving, and that suffering can end only if desire ceases. The end of suffering is the achievement of nirvana often defined as the absence of craving and therefore of suffering, sometimes as enlightenment. Like in most other Theravada nations, Buddhism in Thailand is represented primarily by the presence of Buddhist monks, who serve as officiants on ceremonial occasions, as well as being responsible for preserving and conveying the teachings of the Buddha.
Suphan Buri is an ancient town in Thailand rich in culture and historical temples. The word Suphan originates from the Sanskrit word Suvarna, meaning gold, and the word buri from Sanskrit Purī, meaning town or city. Hence the name of the province literally means City of Gold. Suphan Buri might be the site which is mentioned in very old Buddhist writings. Wat Chi Suk Kasem above is a monastery, located in Changwat Suphan Buri, Thailand, a building and grounds where a community of monks lives in seclusion. .
Het overgrote deel van de Thaise bevolking, zo’n 95% is boeddhist. Men hangt het zogenaamde Teravada-boeddhisme. In het Theravada wordt meditatie benadrukt als een essentieel onderdeel van het pad naar verlichting, samen met moreel gedrag en wijsheid. Het brengen van een einde aan het lijden is het hoofddoel van het Theravada boeddhisme. De Boeddha legde verder een zeer gedetailleerde gedragscode voor de Monniken neer: de Vinaya. Over het algemeen worden monniken door de Boeddha aangemoedigd om wereldse aangelegenheden en passies achter zich te laten, zodat zij gemakkelijker in staat zijn een staat van vrede en wijsheid te bereiken, en sterke ongezonde emoties zoals haat, verlangen en lust te overwinnen. Een Monnik zoals hierboven in z'n oranje gewaad, kaalgeschoren en met sandalen aan de voeten is niet meer weg te denken uit het straatbeeld van Thailand.
Er wordt van iedere jongeman verwacht, dat zij een poosje (van een week tot enkele maanden) als monnik leven. Zo tussen hun schooltijd en hun werkende leven in. Het wordt beschouwd als een overgangsrite en zij verwerven op die wijze aanzien voor zichzelf en hun familie.
'Boneyards: a dismal toile by Su_G' in a wallpaper mockup (c/o Spoonflower & Roostery)
A toile for the times, in black - with one splash of deep blue - on white. My entry in Spoonflower's Off the Wall Toile Design Challenge.

I was struck by the many pictures of 'boneyards' or 'graveyards' of grounded, parked planes, after a past hometown started a business attracting planes for storage in its dry desert atmosphere. Covid-19 creates some strange and unusual business opportunities but also tells us something about the consequences of changes in our environments. Although I'm an optimist, this is my 'dismal toile'.

If you don't know yet, Wage got a dog and life with Uglydog is fun. He eats, he jumps, he fetches, he eats, he chews on furniture, he chases squirrels, he eats. All to be expected. But there is one thing I didn't expect. Wage finally stopped saying "bite me" every time I ask him for anything. He is afraid Uglydog, who is always around, may take it literally.

Truth, like the juice of the poppy, in small quantities, calms men; in larger, heats and irritates them, and is attended by fatal consequences in excess. Walter Savage Landor
Commentary.
This Benedictine Monastery and Abbey Church,
founded as early as 1018, reputedly by King Cnut,
served under Savignac and later Cistercian rule in medieval times.
It suffered the consequences of religious persecution in the 16th. Century, when the Dissolution of the Monasteries, by direction of King Henry VIII, saw it ransacked and ultimately demolished.
The site was bought by French Benedictine monks in the nineteenth century and dedicated to St. Mary. Not until 1907 did a re-build commence followed by consecration in 1932 and completion in 1938.
Prayer and worship is only one part of a monk’s daily life.
What always strikes me is how active they are in supporting their community and earning their keep.
Vegetables, honey, beeswax, pigs, cattle, wine, fudge, publications and many other products are sold near and far.
Monks built the building, help to maintain it,
designed stained-glass windows for new chapels,
farm the land, tend the gardens and benefit from the thousands of paying visitors that come to enjoy, this thriving, yet spiritually uplifting and inspirational place.
Indeed, healthy income enables continuous development.
For example a magnificent new pipe-organ, sourced from Italy, was successfully installed in 2017.
The vibrant, ongoing work of this highly committed
and faithful community is complemented by the incredible beauty of its setting.
Nestling as it does on the edge of Dartmoor, in the exquisite Dart Valley, where it is, and what it does, evokes the peace, solace, tranquillity of the spirit of God, to his honour and glory.
A thousand years, 1018-2018 is only the beginning!

A Santa Fe boxcar keeping a watchful eye along the highway. Because the moon was behind some thick rain clouds, the scene was actually rather dark, and I spent some extra time illuminating the ground and surrounding area as well as the interior and exterior of the boxcar so it wouldn't appear to be floating in a black void. This was photographed during a week-long 1582-mile night photography road trip with Mike Cooper.

Consequences of human sin.
Canel of Buriganga river .The Buriganga River, the lifeblood of the capital Dhaka, is now lifeless. The sound of clear water is no longer visible on the riverbed. Buriganga is a dead, stagnant 'river' of black, foul-smelling polluted water. Due to the navigability crisis, polluted waste from various factories and tanneries, illegal encroachment by some people, dumping of household and other garbage and rubbish into the river, etc., the pollution of the Buriganga River is constantly increasing. At the same time, the once lively Buriganga River has now become a lifeless dead river. The river that was full of fish, now due to plastic and human waste, the water that used to be clear is now just toxic black water. It seems that the Buriganga River, known as the lifeblood of Dhaka, is gradually heading towards death.
LMAO I took this and all I could this was;
"This is what happens when you fuck weird cyberpunk boys and don't use protection."
On relatively clear summer mornings, the first full rays of direct sunlight can be harsh in the Arizona desert. No matter, it often creates wonderful backlighting and contrast.
This magnificent Saguaro resides next to a slab of concrete that at one time was an Army Air Field barracks during World War II. The old and dying Mesquite, that wraps around the lower half of this Saguaro, once served as a nurse tree providing shelter and protection during the tenuous early years of this Saguaro’s growth. As often is the case, as the Saguaro grew larger it competed for the same life-sustaining resources needed by its nurse tree. Such is the unique circle of life in the Arizona desert. The nurse tree is slowly killed by the Saguaro it has protected so well.

Berlin boasts two zoological gardens, a consequence of decades of political and administrative division of the city. The older one, called Zoo Berlin, founded in 1844, is situated in what is now called the "City West". It is the most species-rich zoo worldwide. The other one, called Tierpark Berlin ("Animal Park"), was established on the long abandoned premises of Friedrichsfelde Manor Park in the eastern borough of Lichtenberg, in 1954. Covering 160 ha, it is the largest landcape zoo in Europe.
Rund 15 Prozent der Erdoberfläche werden von Savannen bedeckt. Damit gehören sie zu den größten und wichtigsten Lebensräumen des Planeten. Seit dem 26. Mai 2023 wird Besucher*innen im Tierpark Berlin ein Einblick in diese faszinierende Landschaft gewährt und sie können mehr über die unterschiedlichen Bewohner der ostafrikanischen Savanne und ihren natürlichen Lebensraum erfahren.
Ein wahrer Höhepunkt der neuen Tierpark-Savanne ist der 120 Meter lange Giraffenpfad: Hier werden die Gäste den bis zu fünf Meter hohen Grazien der Savanne zukünftig auf Augenhöhe begegnen können – wer sich traut, bahnt sich den Weg durch den Wald bis zu den Aussichtsplattformen über eine abenteuerliche Hängebrücke. Der Tierpark Berlin erreicht mit der Eröffnung der Afrikanischen Savannenlandschaft ein neues Etappenziel auf seinem Weg zu einem Zoo der Zukunft. Seit knapp neun Jahren wird der 1955 gegründete und 160 Hektar große Tierpark Berlin zu einem naturnahen Geozoo umgebaut. Um einen Einblick in den Lebensraum der einzelnen Tierarten und deren Interaktionen, Besonderheiten und Problematiken zu ermöglichen, werden die Tiere im Tierpark größtenteils nach geografischen Gesichtspunkten zu sehen sein.

Around 15 per cent of the earth's surface is covered by savannahs. This makes them one of the largest and most important habitats on the planet. Since 26 May 2023, visitors to Tierpark Berlin have been given an insight into this fascinating landscape and can learn more about the different inhabitants of the East African savannah and their natural habitat.
A true highlight of the new zoo savannah is the 120-metre-long giraffe trail: here, guests will be able to meet the up to five-metre-high graces of the savannah at eye level in future - those who dare will make their way through the forest to the viewing platforms via an adventurous suspension bridge. With the opening of the African Savannah Landscape, Tierpark Berlin has reached a new milestone on its way to becoming a zoo of the future. For almost nine years, the 160-hectare Tierpark Berlin, which was founded in 1955, has been transformed into a near-natural geozoo. In order to provide an insight into the habitat of the individual animal species and their interactions, peculiarities and problems, the animals in the zoo will largely be seen according to geographical aspects.

BUENOS AIRES
Antes yo te buscaba en tus confines
que lindan con la tarde y la llanura
y en la verja que guarda una frescura
antigua de cedrones y jazmines.
En la memoria de Palermo estabas,
en su mitología de un pasado
de baraja y puñal y en el dorado
bronce de las inútiles aldabas,
con su mano y sortija. Te sentía
en los patios del Sur y en la creciente
sombra que desdibuja lentamente
su larga recta, al declinar el día.
Ahora estás en mí. Eres mi vaga
suerte, esas cosas que la muerte apaga.
Jorge Luis BORGES

today marks 16 years since being bedside at dad's death bed & witnessing him slough off this mortal coil. i made my flickr a few weeks after to put my grief somewhere - life at 15 was already an absurd unreality (which i mean literally, since christian scientists didn't believe in physical reality/sin/disease/death/doctors/therapy/meds). since we didn't "do" therapy, all i could do is art for catharsis. it turned into a diary to chart the fallout & consequences of the nuclear family having to nuke itself out of necessity (having neighborhood watch meetings in the living room above the meth lab in the basement stressed my mom out to no end); but it's been fun turning over this paradox i can only begin to appreciate in adulthood - how to weigh the toxic stress of a life endured with his presence & in his absence, both dead & alive. & now my time devoted to finding some fucking relief in this work has eclipsed the time i've had on earth with him. so thanks for giving me the time of day & i hope i haven't bored you to death with my musings ;)
