I was planning to stay inside today, but the maid knocked in the early afternoon for weekly cleaning, interrupting my meditation session. 

I walked to Kad Suan Kaew mall to wander about in the shaded corridors, as it was too hot to be outside. I went to the lower level and entered an art space. As I circled colorful landscape paintings, girls dressed in unusual clothing began to catch my eye. Rock music was being performed in an outdoor courtyard and I walked out to listen. More girls appeared and I had the nerve to ask two of them to pose for my camera. They happily agreed, and I admit I was nervous. A long time has passed since doing Chicago street portraits.

When I returned to my now clean room, I sat at the desk, the sun's glaring light making me squint and sweat. The walls glowed orange, with strong shadows passing above the bed. Not having a model available, I removed my clothing and activated the camera timer.

This morning I did my fourth run. I was going to skip it because I woke at 5:00am feeling lazy. I fell back asleep and dreamt I was running along the gates. When I woke I decided I had better go for the run. The sun was up, allowing me to see the route illuminated with natural light.

My legs are still sore from the initial run.
