More than half of the Earth's population live together on less than 3% of its land surface. Through our increased local and global interconnectedness, a modern human is exposed to more data in a single day than a person in the 15th century would have encountered in a lifetime.
In 1929 it was estimated the average person was 6 connections away from anyone on the planet. Today this has dropped to three and a half.
The world is now more connected than ever. // Booroobin, Sunshine Coast Hinterland, Australia

This autumn, Museum Catharijneconvent presents the exhibition North & South: European masterpieces reunited. As it turns out, both the far North and far South of Europe medieval masterpieces have survived that are remarkably similar despite the great distance that separates them. We succeeded in having these rare works of art from the period 1100-1350 travel on this single occasion from Catalonia (Spain) and Norway to Utrecht. From 25 October 2019 until 26 January 2020 visitors will be able to enjoy their astonishing beauty and similarity in style. It will be an absolute ‘must see’ because art from this early period has hardly survived in Central Europe.
Striking similarities
Despite the thousands of miles that lie in between, the collections of medieval church art from Northern and Southern Europe are surprisingly similar, which attests to a remarkable mobility of objects and ideas in the high Middle Ages. The display will include superb painted wooden objects with splendid colours and intriguing narrative scenes. They all originated as altar decorations and were objects related to the ritual of the Mass, which lie at the heart of Medieval culture. They show how fascinating and colourful medieval churches must have been throughout Western Europe. These were the art galleries of the Middle Ages – visiting the exhibition will be a true time travel!
Separated by mountains
The medieval masterpieces from the period 1100-1350 that will be shown have escaped the ravages of time against all odds. They owe their survival partly to their geographical locations. Sheltered by the Pyrenees in the South and the fjords in the North, it is only in Catalonia (Spain) and in Norway that we still find a fair number of these early works of art, most of which stem from small and remote village churches. Similar art works must have existed in Cenral Europe too, but here they have been lost due to iconoclasm, revolutions, changing fashions and a constant urge to innovate.
On foot, horseback and by ship
Beside the spectacular beauty of the works exposed the exhibition also focuses on comparisons between the art of the North and the South. The sculptures and painted panels sometimes seem almost interchangeable. The explanation of this must be sought in the astonishing mobility that characterized medieval Europe. Clerics, knights, merchants and pilgrims journeyed throughout Europe and thus established connections that held even the farthest corners of the continent together. In churches, the same imagery is found all over Europe: a Spanish traveller around the year 1300 would not have had the slightest difficulty in understanding the celebration of Mass in a country church somewhere in Norway. The liturgy, the altar decorations and the use of the Latin language were the same throughout Western Europe.
The Virgin Mary and her contemporaries
The key work around which the exhibition pivots is a statue of the Virgin Mary that probably originates from the Meuse Valley. She was carved and gilded around 1240 and is one of the oldest objects in the collections of Museum Catharijneconvent. The Virgin has a very compelling appeal, even though the Christ child, her crown and arms are now missing. Her fascinating age – she is almost 800 years old, after all – and damaged state provokes many questions such as: What was her function in the medieval church? In what sort of setting should we image her originally? Was she perhaps on an altar, set inside a framing shrine? And how did she manage to survive until today? This exhibition will provide answers to these questions, as our Virgin meets her contemporaries from North and South.
International cooperation
North & South is the result of thorough research carried out in international collaboration. Museum Catharijneconvent is grateful to its partner institutions in this prestigious project: Museu Episcopal in Vic (Catalonia, Spain), Universitetsmuseet in Bergen (Norway), the Museum of Cultural History (University of Oslo, Norway) and the Archbishop’s Palace Museum in Trondheim (Norway). North & South casts a fresh light on the striking commonalities that define the medieval art of Western Europe – but which are easily overlooked if the focus is on distinctive features of countries and regions.

John Frusciante - Wayne
Later edit: Many of you, dear friends, have great PS skills. I would be delighted and honored to post a better version of this image (I don't have a RAW version) if any of you could help :) Thank you!
One of two bronze panels by Wayne Chabre which is on the Multnomah County Administration Building on the east side of the Willamette River in Portland, OR. (SE Hawthorne and Grand Avenue) There is another panel on the other side of the entry doors by him also. My photographs aren't doing them justice but I'm still going to post some of them. They are whimsical yet solid and have a cartoon characteristic about them.
I've been wanting to see these in situ since I went on a walking tour of artists and their studios in Walla Walla, WA a few years ago. Wayne was working on of the panels in his old garage and I was blown away by his creativity.
You can look at the larger size to see more of the details, and I'll be posting a few close-ups too.
Wayne has a website where you can see the original graphite drawings for these enormous panels www.waynechabre.com/DrawingsPage.html There is a bonus sketch of his clever "A Delicate Balance" statue which is in Walla Walla at the corner of Palouse and Main Street.
Here's his own description of the panels www.waynechabre.com/pubart_pages/connects.html
These two panels frame the main entry to the building, and represent the urban and rural aspects of the county. Images of bridges and roads and water are metaphors for the County’s many governmental functions. The County’s work spans the rural and urban, industrial and business communities. Portland’s many bridges are the central design element on the urban panel, because they allow a city divided by a major river to function as a cohesive whole, as the County “bridges” many diverse communities, facilitating cooperative action and successful societal functioning. The water in the panels forms a circulatory system—the flow of commerce and arts in the community; the over-arching bridges may be seen as the multifarious support services and responsibilities of the County.
In the rural panel, the arterial (County) roads converge from the periphery as capillaries in the circulatory system, supporting urban life by the work of the agricultural base and the dramatic beauty of the Columbia Gorge scenic preserve. Salmon are represented as the best known wild species in the network of environmental stewardship in which the County plays an important ongoing role. These panels also allowed me to suggest Portland’s connection to the Pacific Rim. The oblique reference to the Asian scroll is highlighted especially in the rural composition, with its mountain, falls and Vista House at Crown Point.

The spiders are making their connections while the machines are unused at Dad's old workshop. That red bulb was to used as 'door bell' to signal a customer was waiting. The noise of the machines would it make it impossible to hear anyone call.

I think there are only another couple of photos after this that I really want to post so that I can add them to my Northern Pygmy-owl Set. S/he's such a special, tiny owl that I don't want any of my photos of him/her to get completely lost in my endless hard drive archives. Thank goodness for Flickr Sets : )
I am practically asleep on my feet today, but finally all my commitments to the Annual Christmas and New Year Bird Counts have been fulfilled and I must turn my time and efforts towards other, far more urgent things. I needed the break today, going on an almost 15-hour Bird Count for Nanton, south of Calgary. My alarm clocks blared at 4:30 a.m. and I was picked up at 6:30 a.m. this morning and I got home around 8:45 p.m. this evening, so am posting very late. A very successful day, including seeing 5 Golden Eagles (!), 3 Northern Shrikes (!), 70 Sharp-tailed Grouse (!), 2 Great Horned Owls, etc., etc. My little group of four found 15 species, but many of them were very nice species to find, especially in such great numbers. After the Count, while numbers were being tallied, we were all treated to a lovely supper. Thanks to the organizers of this event - so much work involved (including the supper, of course!). Many thanks to the Truch family for their delightful hospitality - so much appreciated by us all!
Now, though, I have to return to far more serious, difficult things to deal with. I was up till around 2:30 this morning seeing to more e-mails, etc., and felt rather overwhelmed. So, some sunshine and being in the company of good friends was much needed before I continue with getting things sorted out in connection to my brother's death..
In this exhibition Katy Woodroffe uses fragments of stories from her own family history. She explores the complex legacy of early migrants arriving in Tasmania.
William and Sarah Lyne and their five children arrived in Hobart aboard the Hugh Crawford in 1826. They purchased land grants on the East Coast. They eventually established themselves as farmers near Swansea. Johannes Kalbfell sailed into Hobart from Germany aboard the Lewe Van Nyenstein in 1855. He set up his own business as a shoemaker at 220 Elizabeth Street. Their respective descendants Louisa Lesley Iris Lyne and John (Jack) Kalbfell married in Hobart in 1931. Their shared family history in Derby is also examined. As the exhibition evolved, some surprising connections and events unfolded.
Katy Woodroffe is a Tasmanian artist who lives and works in Hobart. In 2017 she won the Bay of Fires Art Prize. She was selected in the prestigious Sulman and Blake Prizes in Sydney in 2016. She was also featured in several other major awards including the Glover, Whyalla and Lethbridge prizes. She has won numerous awards within Australia. In 2013 she was the winner of the Beholding Beauty Art Prize in Rome.

My spare motherboard (the same one as in my PC) was lying around, and I took some shots with my lens as wide as it would go to get some distortion in there to break up the straight lines.
In autumn we stretch out our arms to feel the last colors until nature goes into hibernation!

We have so many devices with all kinds of connections and chargers it's really hard to keep all of them straight.
We do try to keep all of it organized but it's a big job.
I like things simpler.
Am I the only one that has a problem like this?

The Chinese FM transmitter CZE-T251 circuitboard. Voltage supply input and RF signal output connections. As you can see the negative pole of the power input is connected to ground via the RF output coax. The 12V positive is connected to the circuitboard and goes from there to the RF power amplifier. In earlier versions the red wire would run directly to the power amp but here it runs to the power amp via a trace on the circuitboard. This is version 2.3 of the circuitboard.
