I just adore these colours and how well this picture has come out. Hope you like it too.
Artist Statement:
This painting captures a moment suspended between stillness and motion, where nature's forces meet the quiet resilience of human intervention. The floodwater, rendered in vibrant aquamarine, stretches up to a fence that divides two worlds: the ephemeral softness of a golden beige snowfield and the chaotic beauty of nature’s overflow. Flotsam clings to the fence, a symbol of nature’s unpredictability, while partial reflections in the water hint at the delicate balance between earth and sky.
The loose, expressive brushstrokes lend a softness to the composition, emphasizing the fluidity and transience of the scene. The fence, both a literal and metaphorical boundary, offers a sense of perspective, grounding the viewer amidst the vivid yet subtle interplay of colours. Strong, vibrant hues contrast with the gentle nuances of the snowfield, evoking both a sense of serenity and unease. Through this abstraction, I aim to explore the delicate relationship between control and chaos, beauty and destruction, and the quiet persistence of the natural world.
Built in 1282 by Willem van Brederode. The first castle consisted of a bailey and a square keep which probably stood at the present day courtyard. Its function was to control the through road to the Kennemerland.
This castle was besieged and destroyed by the Kabeljauw troops under the command of Gijsbert van Nijenrode in 1351.
Between 1354 and 1426 Brederode Castle was completely restored on the existing foundations. Until its destruction in 1426 by the people of Haarlem.
It took until 1464 before the northern part, which had been less damaged, was again suitable for habitation. In 1491, the castle fell prey to plundering German soldiers and the castle fell into decay.
Around 1573, shortly after the siege of the city of Haarlem, Spanish troops set fire to the castle.
In the following period only the buildings on the bailey were habitable, but after 1600 these also fell into decay.
From 1600 till 1862, the castle ruins slowly disappeared under the dune sands. Only a few building traces stuck out of the sand.
From 1862 until 1903 the castle ruins were excavated and researched. Also between 1986 and 1988 the castle's construction history was researched.

The Harbour shipping control tower, which is destined to be demolished.
As part of the redevelopment of Barangaroo the tower has ben decomissioned, but a long battle to save it from demolition has failed.

We enjoyed a nice outing to South Coyote Buttes last night. This is one of the most iconic features in the area known as the Control Tower with some soft twilight glow. If you ever get a permit to visit, I can take you out here for the best light! Other tour guides in the area just take you out in the middle of the day. Trust me, it looks a million times better in the golden hour!

Not done in 2020 in many places, controlled prairie burns seemed to be taking place in the past week. I was surprised to see this on a weekend since there are usually more people out and about. It didn't take long to burn through this Arboretum prairie. I'm looking forward to seeing the life that fills the prairies in 2021.
An AC inverter control panel (slightly less than 3" horizontally from edge to edge). This type of inverter, more commonly called a variable-frequency drive, is generally used as an efficient motor speed control in many commercial and industrial applications. Similar systems are used in microwave ovens, air-conditioning systems, EVs, and other consumer devices.
One downside to inverter technology is a distinctive, continuous high-pitched whine emitting from the motor. Noises like this are familiar to anyone who has taken a subway or a trolley using newer equipment.
In this instance, I am using a secondhand inverter and motor to power a 35mm projector, giving it variable speed capability and, more importantly, prolonging the time it takes to come up to full speed and slow down to a stop to minimize stress on the mechanism and film.

Photos from our 3 month family trip around south east Asia. The camera of choice for this trip is the Fujifilm X100T. I'm going to collect the photos from this trip in this album: www.flickr.com/photos/polycola/sets/72157677831288362

Many more shots from this trip in my photo blog:
The view here is east. I'm standing on the Mauna Lani property, on the Kohala Coast of the Big Island. The fire is about five miles away in the Waikoloa hills.
The time is approximately 09:30 PM HST (-10:00 GMT).
The Hawaii Civil Defense broadcast, which was broadcast at 10:00 PM, indicated the fire remains out of control, though no homes are threatened.
For those familiar with the area, the Queen Ka'ahumanu highway entrance to Waikoloa Road is closed. I had to loop around through Kawaihae and Waimea in order to get back home to Waikoloa Village this evening.
I think this is best viewed really large.
Soundtrack: V.A.C. - "malfunction"
- somehow a "brother-in-spirit" of this one: though (oh well...) I am at least knee-deep into technology of all sorts and kinds, somehow I wonder how it actually works - man controlling machine? This device (an office-building-sized coal excavator) is just, well, sort of a "mountain of steel", making you feel awfully small, pondering what might happen if machines like these actually get out of hands...
Now, what was it she told me to get!
Potatoes, carrots … I should have brought that list she wrote.
Potatoes, carrots, onions, cabbage …. She always says that I don’t listen to her, or is it that I never listen to her.
Potatoes, carrots, onions ……. Oh, those cream cakes look good.
The red light used to aid night vision reminds me of the darkroom days. This is indeed an interior of a submarine in service 1944-1969. She is part of The Independence Seaport Museum in Philidelphia.
The best gift this X-mas? A remote control for my new camera. Here's the shot I took to test out the device.
All I did was set the camera on the back of the couch, set it for "remote with 2 second delay," pressed the shutter release, and walked casually in front of the camera. I like the 2 second delay because it gives me time to put my hand down (so the photo doesn't have me pointing the remote at the camera.
