Is that house up there a real one, or did you 'build' it with a collage of pics? I want a house like that!
Stephen, when people talk about exploding, I get really, really scared...terrified even. I live in a society where, any minute, *something* can happen.
I think it takes courage, strength of character, to seek peaceful solutions, for this, I lift my hat off to Martin Luther King.
Every time you come to my blog and you say 'Peace' it lifts my spirit. Makes me want to spread the feelin'.

I see this house everytime I go home to North Carolina. I took a picture of it one day and went town on it as creatively as possible. I wanted it to sum up my feelings about art.
Yes, I am all for peace first. I always hope and pray that things can be resolved peacefully. Unfortunately, most of the world don't see it this way. Peace~

When I hang out in the city, It's usually around 14th and U. Hit me on my email and let's set up a time and day.
Oh Snap!

Where have I been? I've been missing out on all this! Nobody tells me nothing.
Is that second picture DC? Amazing - it looks like Nuremberg after the bombing, something on that scale!
