"A Tourist in my Own Town"
So Julia and I headed to Old Town in hopes of picturesque pictures. I'd read there was a new mural in town, and I certainly wanted a shot of that before our harsh sun fades the paint. However our walk in Old Town got off to a bad start. I fell off a huge curb and scraped my knee. I wasn't so worried about the knee, for it would heal. I was much more worried about the camera, which took the fall with me. Gratefully, it's still working fine. On the way back, I had Julia pose by the high curb:

From there, we stopped in an antique shop. I saw elephants everywhere. It was wild. I was timid to try to photograph them, not wanting to confirm my suspicions. We walked all the way down Main Street, finding the other antique shops closed. That didn't stop me from seeing another elephant poised at a tour agent shop. Julia urged me, "Try your camera, you might find it works! It worked:

While the outer edges demand attention, there is always the call to the center. This expresses being inwardly directed, finding wholeness and balance within one's Self." "Really, any artistic endeavor is a process of discovery, in which inner world and outer worlds reveal themselves as the creation evolves. I enjoy the sense of FLOW I can feel when creating. For me, there are few better ways to feel fully alive." |

"Quick Sketch of Pachauri"
9:14pm

I noted with satisfaction that Al Gore won the Nobel Peace prize for his efforts to educate the world about global warming and how we can stop and reverse this trend. As I searched the news items, I learned it was not only Gore, but also his research team, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, which won the award. An Indian newsource explained, "Dr Rajendra Kumar Pachauri is the chairman of the IPCC, the influential body established by the World Meteorological Organisation and the United Nations Environment Programme, to investigate global warming and its consequences for Earth." They featured photos of both Gore and Pachauri. I found Pachauri's face much more interesting to draw than Gore's!
