ODC - "heads or tails"
I wanted to get this one up before anyone else thought of it or posted it. I thought of this at the last minute because I actually have a contest that I am entering and it is going to have to be way out of the ordinary. So, this is both heads and tails because I couldn't decide. I had way too many thoughts in my head at once.
Happy Fence Friday!
Unlike the cloudy day when this shot was taken, we've got blue skies and sunshine today. Yee ha!!!
I took some pictures earlier in the year, from a trip to Paris in March, another to Lisbon in April, and some in-between photos from Berlin.
These were from my first time using a Kodak Portra 400 with a Black Mountain Golden Half, a half-frame camera I bought years ago on a trip to Barcelona.
Both the California Distinguished School emblem and the date banner beneath are cut from 3/4" MDO plywood, coated on all sides in oil enamels.Colored vinyl graphics cover both.

Founded in 1993, the Krewe of Orpheus takes its name from the musically-inclined son of Zeus and Calliope. Founding members included Harry Connick, both the junior and senior.
In New Orleans, the krewe established themselves as a superkrewe with their first parade in 1994, which rolled with 700 riders. They were the first super Krewe to allow both male and female riders.
The Krewe's throws include a number of popular items including emblem beads, stuffed animals, signature beads, light-up Orpheus medallion beads, cups, three different types of doubloons, and 4-foot-long stuffed dragons.
They have a number of notable floats including the Dolly Trolley, the horse-drawn bus that was used in the opening of Hello Dolly with Barbra Streisand, the Smoking Mary which is a six unit float that looks like a steam locomotive, a Trojan horse and the Orpheus Leviathan Float, which is a three unit, 139-foot float, and the first Carnival float to use extensive fiber optic lighting.
Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee Fats Domino wass the honorary grand marshall for 2014. His eldest son, Antoine Domino III, rode in the parade and perform his 85 year old father's music.
In addition to Fats Domino, Quentin Tarantino reigned as the krewe's celebrity monarch.
Knut Rose (Norwegian 1936 - 2002)
Simple (1981)
"Dream images, often almost nightmarish, in which anonymous human figures are both brutal overlords and powerless victims" This is how art historian Hans-Jacob Brun describes Rose's paintings. Often what we see is people engrossed in mysterious tasks that evoke a sense of anxiety and alienation. This is also true of this picture, which shows a figure with two heads - or are they masks? - casually playing with as mutilated body af if it were a yo-yo.

On 11 June 2022 the new National Museum opened in Oslo. This is the largest museum in the Nordics. The new museum now consists of the collections of the former National Gallery, the Museum of Contemporary Art, and the Norwegian Museum of Decorative Arts and Design.
The new museum has a permanent exhibition of about 6 500 objects. Design, arts and crafts, fine art as well as contemporary art will be exhibited alongside each other. As such, the permanent exhibition highlights interesting connections between different collections that previously have been on show at three different museums. Additionally, audiences will be able to see the most famous paintings by the Norwegian painter Edvard Munch, including The Scream (1893) and Madonna (1894).
The building was designed by Kleihues + Schuwerk Gesellschaft von Architekten, with emphasis on dignity and longevity over sensationalist architecture. Great care was given to achieve a balance with the museum’s surroundings and the existing monuments in the area, such as Oslo City Hall and Akershus Fortress.
The most eye-catching feature of the new museum is the large, illuminated exhibition hall on top of the building. It will be used for temporary exhibitions.
The rooftop terrace offers a unique view of the inner Oslo fjord. The square in front of the main entrance has become an urban meeting place, with benches and a café that invites you in to take a rest.

Blue-foots have much in common with masked boobies. They both nest on the ground, and both fancy sardines.
But blue-foots avoid conflict with their larger and more aggressive relatives by choosing inland sandy or rocky nesting areas not occupied by masked boobies.
Blue-foots tend to feed closer to home than the far-ranging masked boobies.
Boobies tend to pair up in manogamous relationships once they reach breeding age.
Booby females usually hatch 2 or 3 eggs right on top of the bare ground. The male makes a ring of small rocks with just a few weed stems he might find (pickings are very slim though) and that is her nest.
Once the eggs are laid the male does most of the sitting. The eggs must have protection from the continuously hot sun or they will not hatch. They also must be protected from gulls and other predator birds that would just love to have a soft boiled booby egg as a snack.
