"Thinking is not an automatic function... Man is free to think or evade that effort. Thinking requires a state of full focused awareness. The act of focusing one's conciousness is volitional. Man can focus his mind to a full, active, purposefully directed awareness of reality - or he can unfocus it and let himself drift in a semiconscious daze, merely reacting to any chance stimulus of the immediate moment, at the mercy of his undirected sensory-perceptual mechanism of any random, associational connections it might happen to make."
-- Quote from Ayn Rand's in "The Virtue of Selfishness" (Don't like this quote; display another one!)

Photos from a mountain-hike to the Pic des Têtes (2661m) mountain from Bois des Cheiniers (1600m) in the Laverq-valley, Provence, Southern France, with fall colors, in 06-Oct-2002.

1: The view to the Clariont village - with popart colors.	2: Same photo with more realistic colors
3: The road which leads to the starting point of the hike is in such bad condition that I would not have followed it further even without the new barrier which the subventionproof municipality of Meolans-Revel installed. The literature which explains the reason and the legal ground for barring the road and the consequences of surpassing the barrier with a vehicle, is longer than the declaration of interdependence of the United States.	4: The sea-alpes in the south begin here on the Crete de la Blanche. There is absolutely nothing but a few cows which already parted, because the summer season ended.
5: A good trail prepares for the storming the summit.	6: Shiva arrived first on the summit, but I sent it back to capture her arrival.
7: The summit.	8: Shiva is on seventh dog-sky
9: Thanks, St. Peter, for the good and mild weather without wind and with a clear view to the four-thousand meter high Ecrins mountains	10: Thanks to a few clouds, this photo became less boring.
11: Edelweiss	12: Stalagmit, observed by Shiva.
13: Last but not least in retroperspective, the summit taken from the ridge (Crete de la Blanche). If Shiva did not eat me today, she will eventually still live tomorrow.
