On that note

In the middle madness
A diamond to my bow
Meeting at the junction
That's where your heart will glow
KF


We've wandered around galleries, shopping malls and streets full of artwork. From street art to ingenious design, we've been inspired here. 


Like a chip to the shoulder...
Did anyone ever stop and
Think to ask the tree
If it wanted to be
Sliced
So thin
KF
 


On our last night in Asia, I'm reflecting for a moment on what we've seen along the way...

We have seen old
And we've seen new
Seen a lot of people in our view
...
We'll take back home
An overall impression
Knowing that we'll never
Be the same
KF

And on that note, we fly

Transforming

I get up from the couch

My ghost sits there till morning

What if I forget to sit down again?

Would he stand for that?

KF


Bloodshot eyes
Alien in this space


Transforming
Up Up and Away


Sweeping up
Juggling many tasks at once


Lobsters in the tank
Waiting for the VIP's

I'm eager to go on this journey, to Angkor *what, Angkor Wat, *what, Wat... *what, wat, *wait what... 

"Where'd that Monk go?, he left his stuff"

Dunno

"What do you feel like for tea?"

There's a little place around the corner, it looks alright, its got good reviews. Shall we go there?

"Yep"... "how long to go"

Ages

...

We're inspired on this trip. South East Asias been just the ticket. There's so much to see here, it's overwhelming. And we take it all in. Trusting every driver along the way. A round trip. Here I go. K

The Station

I'm so hollow said the tree
Can you see my bark...


The Monk at the Station
Sitting in gold
2 men by his feet
Their stories are told
Awaiting their meal
The Monk takes it first
Hands over a portion
For quenching their thirst
They play with their feet
Heads bowed to the floor
From train station windows
I'll say what I saw
They're keen to tuck in
And quietly rifle
Through bag after bag
Of some kind of trifle
Thank you they say
Hands touch, heads are lifted
Monk taking pride
For what he has gifted
Faces light up
They're fed for the day
He takes them away
For prayers they must pay
KF


...Twice shy said the leaves
Can you hear my sky
KF


Lake Wanaka, New Zealand

This dark brew has your name all over it, if you can handle its contents.  A bit hot, boiling over faster than a mud pool... Another handle'll be needed for the tilt.  So heady is this broth, it sinks another iceberg in Coffee Bay, triggering a tsunami siren from the trench. Desserted... 
Affa-gotta-go, Ice-creams melting.
