using the "Kodak Gold" in-camera film recipe for Sony from veresdenialex. I like this film recipe a lot. I\'ve found it to be a lot more cinematic than real Kodak Gold 200, probably due to Sony digital cameras having a much bigger dynamic range than consumer grade film :-) ... but the recipe does a pretty good job of mimicking the Kodak Gold color profile if you keep in mind it\'s going to look much deeper and richer than the real thing.

The architectural features of this building were pretty impressive.

"I just like the name 'Persian.' It sort of conjured up the Near East, Byzantium, The Far East, Venice- all the trades, smells, senses i don't know, it was an exotic name to me, so i just called them Persians."

 

- Dale Chihuly

 

Chihuly's Persians are among his most effective forms for installation art - mounted vertically in wall displays, incorporated in chandeliers, massed in ceilings. The rondel, a flower-like form distinguished by large size and wavy, irregular edges, is the most typical Persian. As a rule, Chihuly likes to manipulate glass as simply as possible, using few tools and molds, and allowing gravity, movement, and centrifugal force to act upon the molten material. To watch his team spin the molten disc of a Persian, then let it droop naturally into shape is to see a breathtaking display of skill and control, using minimal means.

 

Persian Ceiling provides a rare opportunity to completely immerse yourself in an artist's work - look up and luxuriate.

Ho bisogno di silenzio

come te che leggi col pensiero

non ad alta voce

il suono della mia stessa voce

adesso sarebbe rumore

non parole ma solo rumore fastidioso

che mi distrae dal pensare.

Ho bisogno di silenzio

esco e per strada le solite persone

che conoscono la mia parlantina

disorietante dal mio rapido buongiorno

chissà, forse pensano che ho fretta.

Invece ho solo bisogno di silenzio

tanto ho parlato, troppo

è arrivato il tempo di tacere

di raccogliere i pensieri

allegri, tristi, dolci, amari,

ce ne sono tanti dentro ognuno di noi.

Gli amici veri, pochi, uno ?

sanno ascoltare anche il silenzio, sanno aspettare, capire.

Chi di parole da me ne ha avute tante

e non ne vuole più,

ha bisogno, come me, di silenzio.

 

Silenzio - Alda Merini

The Mausoleum of I'timad ad Daulah is a stunning example of Mughal architecture standing on the banks of the Yamuna river in the centre of Agra. It was built in 1622-8 to house the tomb of Mirza Ghiyas Beg and his wife, who were also the grandparents of Mumtaz Mahal, for whom another larger and much more famous mausoleum was built nearby; thus this tomb is popularly known as the 'Mini Taj', as it is also believed to be the architectural precedent and forerunner to Agra's most celebrated monument.

 

The complex consists of the central square mausoleum building, a delicate affair in white marble with minarets at each corner, all of which is covered in an astonishing array of coloured stone inlay, an extremely delicate craft for which Agra is renowned. Around the mausoleum is a garden with four identical gateways in contrasting red sandstone (with white marble inlaid decoration).

Cette abbaye romane inscrite au patrimoine mondial de l’UNESCO au titre des "Chemins de Saint Jacques de Compostelle en France" depuis 1998, fait l’objet aussi d’un classement au titre des monuments historiques par la liste de 1840.

L'abbatiale Sainte-Foy de Conques a été construite à partir de 1041 par l'abbé Odolric à l'emplacement de l'ancien ermitage de Dadon (819), les travaux s’étalent jusqu’au XIIe siècle.

L'église est construite sur un plan en croix latine et à chapelles rayonnantes (trois sur le chevet) et bénédictines (quatre chapelles alignées sur le transept. Elle présente une double enveloppe (nef et abside pour la première, collatéraux et déambulatoire pour la seconde), et une élévation à deux niveaux, les tribunes donnant sur le vaisseau central par des baies géminées. Elle présente des volumes ramassés en raison des contraintes topographiques, le premier ermitage ayant été fondé dans la vallée escarpée de la Dourdou. L'abside est de faible profondeur, la nef petite (longue de 20,70 m et large de 6,80 m) par rapport au transept (35 m). La voûte en berceau (contrebutée par les voûtes en demi-berceau de la galerie supérieure) de 22,10 m de hauteur et les arcatures surhaussées des bas-côtés de 9,40 m de hauteur révèlent une réelle recherche de verticalité du projet architectural.

L'intérieur de l'abbatiale est très sobre avec le chœur, la voûte peinte et les tribunes sont peints en claire, presque blanche. Le haut des murs, l'abside et de nombreuses piles sont en pierre calcaire de Lune de couleur jaune variable. Les murs Est du Transept, du déambulatoire et des chapelles, ainsi que les murs du collatéral Sud sont en grès rouge de Nauviale.

La travée du narthex est la plus large (5,70 m), les trois suivantes sont identiques (4,30 m), la cinquième accuse un élargissement (5,20 m) qui semble prévenir le rétrécissement de la suivante (2,90 m) donnant sur le transept.

Le chœur est entouré d'un déambulatoire permettant aux fidèles de défiler autour des reliques de Foy d'Agen. Il est orné de grilles en fer forgé datant du XIIe siècle et qui, selon la tradition légendaire rapportée dans le Liber miraculorum sancte Fidis de Bernard d'Angers, auraient été réalisées avec les chaînes, colliers et bracelets de fer apportés par d'anciens prisonniers délivrés par l'intercession de la sainte. La sacristie est décorée de fresques du XVe siècle qui racontent le martyre de la sainte. Au fond du transept gauche, on peut admirer un haut-relief représentant l'Annonciation, sculpté par le même artiste que celui qui exécuta le tympan.

Les vitraux de Pierre Soulages réalisés entre 1987 et 1994 en collaboration avec le verrier Jean-Dominique Fleury ajoutent un aspect contemporain à l'atmosphère sobre et recueillie de l'église.

L'ensemble de près de 250 chapiteaux sculptés constitue un exemple parfait de l'art roman. Alors que les chapiteaux étaient ornés jusque-là que de motifs végétaux et géométriques, ceux de Conques voient l'apparition de figures humaines, d'abord timidement prises dans le motif ornemental puis de plain-pied.

The glass sheltered ceiling at the revamped the Chinatown Food Street is 3 storeys high with built-in cooling system with 24 food stalls.

I am a Glass lover...most anything glass appeals to me, and a payoff happened this morning from the Sun in my studio window....here are 2 photos of my Swarovski Crystal Lotus's and my Waterford Egg...and one of the ceiling. The whole ceiling was lit with bright colored spots...and this photo does not nearly do it justice.

My bamboo ceiling project. I cut all the pieces to length, smoked them over an open flame (which took all weekend), and then split them in half lengthwise. I love it.
