An extract from Viktor Ullman's opera " Der Kaiser von Atlantis" written between 1943 and 1944 and performed here by the Gewandhausorchester of Leipzig.
The dates for the writing of the opera (all from inside the Theresienstadt concentration camp) are from around June/July 1943 to 13 of January 1944. A revision was made ("Wahnsinns-Terzett") in August of 1944. On the 16 of October of the same year Ullmann was transported to Auschwitz-Birkenau where he as gased on the 18th of October aged 45. Ullmann had been a member of the Freizeitgestaltung - the unit within the camp that masqueraded 'extermination' into 'cultivated concentration', providing Red Cross visits with an image of active culture within containment camps. Being complicit with this artifice had been a way of Ullmann to stay alive. Proof that Theresienstadt was a concentration camp and not a model society came from drawings on smuggled paper made by the artist and poet Petr Kien. Kien was also at Theresienstadt and was the writer of the libretto for Ullmann's opera - described as a 'transparent allegory on the nature of fascism and the low value it places on human life'.
Ullmann had been another fine Czech composer and pianist. He had frequented Zemlinski and had had contact with anthroposophie (which could be a strong Nazi pataphysical mind drug), and his opera was a satire of the insane dream ideology that had taken him as a decent man into an abyss. The 'story goes' that in the early years of rehearsals, prison guards and Freizeitgestaltung administrators were too high on hubris to understand that the subtle satire of the operas narrative was aimed at them, and that it took an outside Nazi visitor to see a late rehearsal and conclude the obvious, then making provision to remove Ullmar from the Freizeitgestaltung, with all of the life-death implications that that entailed. Whilst the loss on any individual to an ideological insanity is an embarrassment to the human race, the loss of artists is of a category: art touches the souls of man, and lost or "stolen" art touches another reflection. Ullmann was one of several artists who died. Petr Kien (and his wife and family) were taken to Auschwitz-Birkenau in the the final transport in October 1944 where they all died. Another Czech - Joseph Capek also coming to mind as I write...
The version is the 1994 Decca recording - nicely measured and beautifully performed - small scale, heartfelt and without the addition of stylistic decisions that can take the work away from the 'delicacy' of Ullmann's atypical writing context.
The Telemar 22 is relatively compact for a 200mm, so fits on a lighter weight tripod. The aperture preset ring can be a pain when fumbling in the dark, but when set on f22 if allows the main aperture ring to pan through all stops without any clicks and with full blades for a constant round bokeh. When filming this is the best place to be as on-the-fly half and quarter stop adjustments and then fast 'vignette' closes are free and easy. A large, heavy or long tele will flutter during on-the-fly adjustments (which can have its charm) but the lighter telemar tends to keep still. The lens is solid metal and looks like a stack of M42 macro tubes from six different companies that have been screwed together in the back of a cluttered photo equipment draw. Optically it's functional to good and it's relatively high F5.6 is a drawback. The moon shots were all taken on the coastal 'cliff' above the other footage: Llafranc Spain.

Press play and then 'L' and even f11. Escape and f11 a second time to return.
Atlantis the palm...
As I was scouting for a slightly distant location to shoot this from..seems like most of the locations were secured with construction activities...sigh...
Cheers.

Doing some photography training and I as tasked with taking an environmental portrait of an Atlantis Resort employee.
This is Michael who is an aquarist at the Atlantis Resort and takes care of the multitudes of sea-life they have here.
The lobby of the Atlantis resort in Nassau, Bahamas is one of those where you have to take a moment and look straight up. There's lots to be seen over your head.

Atlantis, The Palm is a Dubai hotel resort located at the apex of the Palm Jumeirah. It was the first resort to be built on the island and is themed on the myth of Atlantis but includes distinct Arabian elements
Atlantis is in the lower middle of the frame believe it or not - this was a (very small) part of the World Record display.
The cluster of domes with white caps below The Thumb on the north side of Paria Canyon I call Atlantis. It's a companion to the Lost City on the south side of the canyon, a mile away. Neither 'lost city' is visible from roads, with the exception of binocular views from a remote 4x4 road leading to the Thumb.
I explored Atlantis on October 12, 2018, and took video. This is a telephoto view of it from The Skywalk. I finally produced the video of Atlantis for YouTube in April 2025. The link is here:
Though Gods they were
And as the elders of our time choose to remain blind
Let us rejoice and let us sing
And dance and ring in the new
Hail Atlantis

The Space Shuttle Atlantis (Orbiter Vehicle Designation: OV‑104) was a Space Shuttle orbiter belonging to the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), the spaceflight and space exploration agency of the United States
Atlantis embarked on its 33rd and final mission, also the final mission of a space shuttle, STS-135, on 8 July 2011. STS-134 by Endeavour was expected to be the final flight before STS-135 was authorized in October 2010. STS-135 took advantage of the processing for the STS-335 Launch On Need mission that would have been necessary if STS-134's crew became stranded in orbit. Atlantis landed for the final time at the Kennedy Space Center on 21 July 2011.
By the end of its final mission, Atlantis had orbited the Earth a total of 4,848 times, traveling nearly 126,000,000 mi (203,000,000 km) or more than 525 times the distance from the Earth to the Moon.
Atlantis is currently displayed at the Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex and is suspended with its payload bay doors opened such that it appears to be back in orbit around the Earth.
When I was playing around with two Atlantis helmets in my hands, I realized how great they'd work for a bug's head, and I decided to build my first battle bug, in an Atlantis theme. The wing shields fold up with those ball joints you can see here, and reveal four propellers to get it flying... It was a pain to shoot, as it kept falling apart (the front pair of legs aren't very stable, and without them the rest of the legs fold away), but I got this photo quite decent I think.
I was fortunate enough to spend last week at the Atlantis resort in the Bahamas. I was able to go out shooting each of the five days I spent there, and caught just about every sunset the islands had to show off during my trip. The combination of light, clouds, sea and amazing architecture of the hotel were absolutely stunning and I am looking forward to posting many more pics here in the coming weeks. I found it remarkable how busy with people the resort grounds were during the day, while at sunset, in the peak of it's beauty, there was hardly anyone in sight, leaving me with the place to myself.

“The continent of Atlantis was an island
Which lay before the great flood
In the area we now call the Atlantic Ocean.
So great an area of land, that from her western shores
Those beautiful sailors journeyed to the South
And the North Americas with ease
In their ships with painted sails.
To the east, Africa was a neighbor,
Across a short strait of sea miles.
The great Egyptian age is but a remnant
Of the Atlantian culture.
The antediluvian kings colonized the world;
All the Gods who play in the mythological dramas
In all legends from all lands were from fair Atlantis.
Knowing her fate, Atlantis sent out ships to all corners of the Earth.
On board were the Twelve:
The poet, the physician, the farmer, the scientist, the magician,
And the other so-called Gods of our legends,
Though Gods they were.
And as the elders of our time choose to remain blind,
Let us rejoice and let us sing and dance and ring in the new . . .
Hail Atlantis!” ~ Donovan
After some rare Dubai rain this morning we had an even rarer Dubai Rainbow, which appeared to connect Atlantis with the (under construction) Royal Atlantis.
Rivendell Atlantis with 44mm SnowCat rims, mounted w/ a Exiwolf in front and an Nanoraptor in back. I had to shave the outer knobs off the Exiwolf w/ a razor blade. It took forever. Fingers really hurt. The interesting thing is that the Exiwolf also fit in the back the first year, but it was reeeeealy close. Actually, it was too close. If I would've bent the rim or broken a spoke on a long ride in 5 degree temps...well, that would've been a bad idea.
The second winter I rode this set up I could only ride the Nanoraptor on the rear. And it too would rub occasionally at very low pressures.
So, it's not a Pugsly, but the Atlantis is a damn versatile bike.
