Happy Relaxation Day! I find geometric patterns relaxing. The domed ceiling of Tilya Kori Madrasa in Samarkand is an incredibly detailed example of Turkic art and architecture.

“That day, for no particular reason, I decided to go for a little run. So I ran to the end of the road. And when I got there, I thought maybe I’d run to the end of town. And when I got there, I thought maybe I’d just run across Greenbow County. And I figured, since I run this far, maybe I’d just run across the great state of Alabama. And that’s what I did. I ran clear across Alabama. For no particular reason I just kept on going. I ran clear to the ocean. And when I got there, I figured, since I’d gone this far, I might as well turn around, just keep on going. When I got to another ocean, I figured, since I’d gone this far, I might as well just turn back, keep right on going.” – Forrest Gump

Marshall Point Lighthouse is the east coast film location where Forrest turns around and just keeps going.

These traditional fishing boats are commonly found in Amed. At first glance, jukung, look like giant spiders skittering across the surface of the water.

"Great cooking is about being inspired by the simple things around you - fresh markets, various spices. It doesn't necessarily have to look fancy." - G. Garvin

It certainly looks different from the markets I am used to, but these woman are getting it done. Way to "woman" it!

Student: Master, why do volcanoes erupt?
Master: Because no one takes a silent volcano seriously!
