Fameshed event location:
The small museum harbour and village of Nymindegab belong to the special places I regularly visit during my Easter vacation. Covered in spring light the location performed beautiful as ever. Nymindegab, Jylland, Denmark.
The course of the sun is the epitome of time. This impressive beech tree, standing on the edge of a chasm, can observe that process since many many years now. How many sunrises she may have seen already ? 40.000 ? 100.000 ? more ? How was the world like when she was able to whitness that wonder the first time ?
Der Lauf der Sonne ist der Inbegriff von Zeit. Diese stattliche Buche, direkt an der Kante eines Abgrundes bebachtet diesen Vorgang bereits viele viele Jahre. Wie viele Sonnenaufgänge mag sie schon gesehen haben ? 40.000 ? 100.000 ? mehr ? Wie sah wohl die Welt aus, als sie dieses Wunder das erstmal bebobachten konnte ?

Modern art galleries and museums have always wanted to tell a story in the usual fashion of linear history. So as a rule rooms in galleries tended to be set out in historical periods or particular styles. The contemporary curator however eschews all that, throws everything into the mix and allows the viewer to piece together their own story.
Now this is all very well for the informed art lover, but can be very confusing to those who have never studied art history. It's a sink or swim model, and the jury is still out on whether this approach is going to be successful.
This section of the QVMAG was recently renovated to allow for more works to be shown from the very large collection that Launceston has built up over 200 years (the settlement itself was founded in 1806). One problem for photographers is that the light intensity has been reduced to 40 lumens per square metre (for example a 60 watt light bulb provides 800 lumens per square metre). This is so the works are not damaged by excess light. But it does make getting good photographs of the works very difficult indeed. This photograph, for instance, appears much brighter than the lighting actually was.

When going through the folder of my images of South Tyrol (Italy) I always come back to this one ... I can't even explain why ... maybe it's the lines and grain : ))

A small infinity display of Japanese contemporary artist Yayoi Kusama's iconic spotted pumpkins at the New York Botanical Garden. The pumpkins are in a dark room glass box that is mirrored on the top and bottom and part of the sides, creating an infinity mirror effect. They gradually light until all are lit, and then go dark, a process that is repeated over and over. Part of this year's Cosmic Nature installation in the garden. The Bronx, NYC -- April 9, 2021
The actual title of this piece is "Pumpkins Screaming Of Love
Beyond Infinity."

The Walhalla
is a hall of fame that honours laudable and distinguished people in German history – "politicians, sovereigns, scientists and artists of the German tongue"; thus the celebrities honoured are drawn from Greater Germany, a wider area than today's Germany, and even as far away as Britain in the case of several Anglo-Saxon figures.
The hall is a neo-classical building above the Danube River, in Donaustauf, east of Regensburg in Bavaria, the exterior modelled on the Parthenon in Athens.

- THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR YOUR VISITS AND COMMENTS.!
This week's theme for Mosaic Montage Monday was Traditional/Contemporary. I am fortunate to have some vintage Sunset magazines. As far as I can tell, the three Sacramento homes featured are still there. Maybe not as houses anymore, though. I looked for the latest issue at several newsstands, but it was not available anywhere yet. The e-version was out, so here it is. Current technology makes things so do-able! HMMM!
