'Same same but different'! How often do your hear this expression all over SE Asia? We are in the Mueang Chiang Mai District in the old town area of Chiang Mai, Thailand. As we drive through it towards the airport, I was mighty amused to notice this guest house named 'Same Same'. It seems to be a fairly popular and well known guest house in CM, as my search on the web later on revealed. (Note: some of these pictures may not be as sharp as they are shot through the darkened windows of a car while in motion). (Chiang Mai, Thailand, Apr. 2014)

The old tree is probably the same age as the historic house it stands in front of. A few elements of the original iron fence remain in place. This is one of the more challenging houses to restore in the Old West End but when finished it will again be a landmark home in the District. I'm wishing the best to the owners in their restoration efforts. It took many years to get in this deteriorated condition and will take years of hard work ahead to bring it back.

The Suez Canal is 163 km (101 mi) long. The minimum bottom width of the channel is 60 m (197 ft) and ships of 16 m (53 ft) draft can make the transit. The canal can accommodate ships as large as 150,000 dead weight tons fully loaded. It has no locks, because the Mediterranean Sea and the Gulf of Suez have roughly the same water level. The canal utilizes three bodies of water—Lake Manzilah, Lake Timsāh, and the Bitter Lakes (the latter is actually one continuous body of water)—and is not the shortest distance across the isthmus. Most of the canal is limited to a single lane of traffic, but several passing bays exist, and two-lane bypasses are located in the Bitter Lakes and between Al Qanţarah and Ismailia. A railroad on the west bank runs parallel to the canal for its entire distance.

You will always see these banana boxes used at open-air markets to hold stock. Market traders value them for their robust construction and capaciousness. It was with these same qualities in mind that I brought home large numbers from my previous job during the extended pre-move period. Most of those in the photo contain books. The tall upright boxes propped against the wall are three flat-pack bookcases from Ikea, into which I hoped the books would fit. They didn't. In fact, three weeks later quite a lot of our belongings are still in banana boxes because we can't find room for them ...this in spite of having moved from a considerably smaller house.

Roberto Burle Marx (August 4, 1909, São Paulo – June 4, 1994, Rio de Janeiro) was a Brazilian landscape architect (as well as a painter, print maker, ecologist, naturalist, artist and musician) whose designs of parks and gardens made him world famous. He is accredited with having introduced modernist landscape architecture to Brazil. He was known as a modern nature artist and a public urban space designer.
Roberto Burle Marx's father was an emigrant from the city Trier in Germany. His mother was raised from an upper class family in Brazil. Burle Marx's first landscaping inspirations came while studying painting in Germany, where he often visited the Dahlem Botanical Gardens and first learned about Brazil's native flora. Upon returning to Brazil in 1930, he began collecting plants in and around his home. He went to school at the National School of Fine Arts in Rio in 1930 where he focused on visual arts under Leo Putz and Candido Portinari. While in school he associated with several of Brazil’s future leaders in architecture and botanists who continued to be of significant influence in his personal and professional life. One of these was his professor, Brazilian Modernism’s Lucio Costa, the architect and planner who lived down the street from Burle. In 1932, Burle Marx designed his first landscape for a private residence by the architects Lucio Costa and Gregori Warchavchik. This project, the Schwartz house was the beginning of a collaboration with Costa which was enriched later by Oscar Niemeyer who designed the Brazilian Pavilion at the New York World’s Fair in 1939. Niemeyer also designed the Pampulha complex in 1942 which Marx designed gardens for.
In 1949 he acquired the 365,000m² estate Barra de Guaratiba (just outside of Rio de Janeiro). Burle Marx began taking expeditions into the Brazilian rain forest with botanists, landscape architects, architects and other researchers to gather plant specimens. He learned to practice studying plants in situ from the botanist Henrique Lahmeyer de Mello Barreto and established his garden, nursery and tropical plant collection at Guaratiba. This property was donated to the Brazilian government in 1985 and became a national monument. Now called Sítio Roberto Burle Marx, under the direction of IPHAN-Instituto do Patrimônio Histórico e Artístico Nacional / Ministério da Cultura, it houses over 3,500 species of plants. The house was rebuilt in a valley on the site of a garden house belonging to the original plantation estate.
Roberto Burle Marx founded a landscape studio in 1955 and in the same year he founded a landscape company, called Burle Marx & Cia. Ltda.
Much of his work has a sense of timelessnes and perfection. His aesthetics were often nature based, for example, never mixing flower colours, utilisation of big groups of the same specimen, using native plants and making a rocky field into a relaxing garden. He was very interested in each plant's character and what effect that has on the whole garden. He opened an office in Caracas, Venezuela in 1956 and started working with architects Jose Tabacow and Haruyoshi Ono in 1968. Marx worked on commissions thorough out Brazil, Argentina, in Chile and many other South American countries, France, South Africa, Washington D.C. and Los Angeles. Additionally his artwork can be found displayed throughout the city of Rio de Janeiro “it is an open-air museum of works displaying his unmistakable style, one wholly his own” (Montero 2001 p. 29). Roberto Burle Marx’s 62 year career ended when he died June 4, 1994 two months before his 85th birthday.
He spent a lot of time in the Brazilian forests where he was able to study and explore. This enabled him to add significantly to the botanical sciences, by discovering new rocks and plants for example. At least 30 plants bear his name. Marx was also involved in efforts to protect and conserve the rain forest from the destructive commercial activities of deforestation for bananas and other crops and clear cutting of timber.
Marx’s work “can be summarized in four general design concepts—the use of native tropical vegetation as a structural element of design, the rupture of symmetrical patterns in the conception of open spaces, the colorful treatment of pavements, and the use of free forms in water features” (Vaccarino 2000, p. 17). This approach is exemplified by the Copacabana Beach promenade, where native sea breeze resistant trees and palms appear in groupings along Avenida Atlantica. These groupings punctuate Portugese stone mosaics which form a giant abstract painting where no section along the promenade is the same. This “painting” is viewed from the balconies of hotels, and offers an ever changing view for those driving along the beach. The mosaics continue the entire two and a half mile distance of the beach. The water feature, in this case, is of course the ocean and beach, which is bordered by a 30 foot wide continuous scallop patterned mosaic walk (Eliovson 1991; Montero 2001). Copacabana Beach is “the most famous in Brazil” (Eliovson 1991 p. 103).

On a very morning two fish sellers were going to their destination. Maybe their directions were opposite but destination was same.
I've also posted pictures of this barn before, which is along the same road as the church about 10 miles west of Owensboro, KY. The Audubon Parkway is just visible on the barn's opposite side.
"Say, Clint," you might exclaim. "You said you were going to go on a trip to Colorado, and yet here you are outside Owensboro. That's not even the right direction! What gives?"
Well, as it turns out, this is a different sort of trip than usual. Robin wasn't along for this one. Her spot in the passenger seat would be taken by an Owensboro person.
To explain how this happens, I have to share certain aspects of my life about which I've been purposely vague: I have kids. I've said as much before, but that's about all I've said, because I don't like to discuss my kids on the internet. For one thing, the internet is full of creepy people with nefarious motives. For another thing, the internet is permanent, and I don't want to be one of those parents who creates permanent records of children that might give them problems later on. I've likely been over cautious about that, but that's fine. I'm happy to mention the existence of offspring. I'm just reluctant to get specific.
But these days, almost all my offspring have reached an age where I'm not as concerned about discussing their presence, so here's the summary. Half my offspring grew up with me and Robin in Chicago, while the other half grew up in Owensboro with the ex-wife. For one reason or another, I never had much opportunity to take any of these kids on a trip. And to be honest, most of them felt just fine about this, as my travel gene seems to have been recessive. The kids tend to be homebodies, and most of them are happy with whatever slice of planet they've been able to see in a digital format. Kids today, you know?
But there is the one. I've mentioned that there's a kid who has gone off to college at the University of Louisville. This has afforded the child a certain freedom to travel she did not have before, so when her very first Spring Break came along, she asked me (at the last possible minute) if I'd take her someplace she hadn't seen. She'd never been west of the Mississippi, and she wanted to see mountains. I am fortunate enough to have been able to work that out quickly (mostly because I married well), so I took the college girl on a father-child trip to Colorado.
Next year, I'm hoping she'll embrace the college experience and do some absurd trip with friends, but I'm glad she thought of me on this one.
Took advantage of this angle, because a month from now, I would most likely be underwater with spring thaw.

"Sometimes fate is like a small sandstorm that keeps changing directions. You change direction but the sandstorm chases you. You turn again, but the storm adjusts. Over and over you play this out, like some ominous dance with death just before dawn. Why? Because this storm isn't something that blew in from far away, something that has nothing to do with you. This storm is you. Something inside of you. So all you can do is give in to it, step right inside the storm, closing your eyes and plugging up your ears so the sand doesn't get in, and walk through it, step by step. There's no sun there, no moon, no direction, no sense of time. Just fine white sand swirling up into the sky like pulverized bones. That's the kind of sandstorm you need to imagine.
An you really will have to make it through that violent, metaphysical, symbolic storm. No matter how metaphysical or symbolic it might be, make no mistake about it: it will cut through flesh like a thousand razor blades. People will bleed there, and you will bleed too. Hot, red blood. You'll catch that blood in your hands, your own blood and the blood of others.
And once the storm is over you won't remember how you made it through, how you managed to survive. You won't even be sure, in fact, whether the storm is really over. But one thing is certain. When you come out of the storm you won't be the same person who walked in. That's what this storm's all about."
