Kinkaku-ji "Temple of the Golden Pavilion"), officially named Rokuon-ji, lit. "Deer Garden Temple"), is a Zen Buddhist temple in Kyoto, Japan.
The garden complex is an excellent example of Muromachi period garden design. The Muromachi period is considered to be a classical age of Japanese garden design. The correlation between buildings and its settings were greatly emphasized during this period. It was a way to integrate the structure within the landscape in an artistic way. The garden designs were characterized by a reduction in scale, a more central purpose, and a distinct setting.
A minimalistic approach was brought to the garden design, by recreating larger landscapes in a smaller scale around a structure.
It is designated as a National Special Historic Site and a National Special Landscape, and it is one of 17 locations comprising the Historic Monuments of Ancient Kyoto World Heritage Site. It is also one of the most popular buildings in Japan, attracting a large number of visitors annually.

Scale free correlation is a phenomenon whereby each starling in the flock seems to have an effective perceptional range much larger than just the direct interaction with its immediate neighbours. Acting as if of one mind enhances the whole flock's collective response to an outside influence and thus provides maximum protection for the group from a predator. It also provides a mesmerizing spectacle for the viewer on the ground.
Las Cruces, New Mexico with the Organ Mountains in the background. Taken 11 April 2023 at 6:48 PM with sunset at 7:34 PM. Ten image pano shot at 200mm. Mileage shown on the landmark notes was measured in Google Earth to the I-10 Rest Stop. Big changes will come in the next half hour and the shadows become more pronounced.
The original is way too big to download into Flick and unfortunately a lot of detail is lost along the way. I've been trying to locate my son's home that is somewhere behind the Home2 Suites on the far left of the image. I'm pretty sure I'll locate it but it takes lot's of correlation to Google Earth.

An atmospheric morning on the remote black sand beach at Tjørnuvík on Streymoy in the Faroe Islands a few years ago, looking out towards the dramatic sea cliffs of Eiðiskollur towering above the legendary rock formations of Risin and Kellingin. Although from this perspective it appears that the distant headland is a continuation of the same coastline, it actually belongs to the neighbouring island of Eysturoy which is separated from this point by the bay of Eiðiflógvi. I visited this beach numerous times on my trip, but on this occasion I really liked how the water had carved the distinct edge in the sand as the river entered the bay, and the miniature sand stack in the foreground also formed a correlation with the distant silhouetted rock stacks.
The lack of restraint shown with the processing here has a direct correlation to the amount of wine I drank beforehand.

Bench Obsession - Chapter 4
Neighbor: “Hi Neighbor!”
Wife: “Oh hi, how are you?
Neighbor: “I’m great. Say, how did that Kiwi bench photo thing go last Monday? Did they figure out that Steve didn’t actually go to New Zealand over the weekend to take that shot?”
Wife: “Everyone knew, but I don’t think anyone cared.”
Neighbor: “So did any bench photos make… Expand…Expose…Expect…”
Wife: “Explore.”
Neighbor: “Yeh, that’s it.”
Wife: “No, but he still thinks bench photos should dominate explore and he’s not giving up. He’s still plotting and scheming.”
Neighbor: “Plotting and scheming?”
Wife: “Yeh, he spent all night working on excel using AI. He collected data and created spreadsheets, graphs, charts and trend lines. He had a control chart with standard deviations and was mumbling something about correlation is not causation."
Neighbor: “So did he come up with some overarching string theory to unify all the fundamental forces that make up a great bench photo?"
Wife: ::sigh:: “He thinks so.”
Neighbor: “So tell me this brilliant new scientific revelation?”
Wife: ::clears throat:: “More is Better.”
Neighbor: “His great hypothesis is ‘more is better’?”
Wife: “Yup. More is better.”
Neighbor: ::rolls eyes:: “Elaborate.”
Wife: “Well, he figures that if you post a photo with one nice bench on it, it gets a set number of views. For round numbers, let’s say 100. So two nice benches in the same photo gets you twice as many, or 200 views. 3 benches = 300, 4 benches = 400 and so on. With enough benches multiplying the total views, the image can’t be ignored.”
Neighbor: “So, did he get a photo with lots of benches?”
Wife: “Yeh. When we were in Kansas he took one. Dodge City is a historic cowboy town where buffalo hunters roamed and where the old TV show ‘Gunsmoke’ was based. They have a place where they reenact old western gun fights and such, and there were a lot of benches there."
Neighbor: “Do you think that will work?”
Wife: “Of course not.”
Neighbor: “Did you tell him?”
Wife: “Uh huh.”
Neighbor: “What did he say?
Wife: “Happy Bench(es) Monday!"

As this is the start of a new Album and a different form of poetry to what I have shown on Flickr so far I thought I would do a small introduction to the poetry form of Haiku. From here on in we will just go with it and see what happens.
Haiku is a Japanese form of poetry that consists of three lines of poetry, traditionally containing 17 syllables, and this usually took the form of the first line being 5 syllables, the second 7 syllables and the third line, 5.
This major form of Japanese poetry flourished in the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries and was written to strict rules. But as with all things, especially within creativity, and the gradual emigration of ideas to the West, the Haiku has adapted.
The English language can convey meaning in a more economical way, which can result in Haiku of fewer syllables, as well as the traditional format. There is more of a willingness to change and develop. The English syllable can be of varying length, providing more expression and possibilities with different meanings.
As with using less syllables in some cases, the standard 3 lines is not always used either. Sometimes only 2 lines are used. And in some cases, the use of space on the page is utilised in its design to explore and emphasise the meaning further.
Haiku has been described as the poem of the single breath. Where we experience the transiency of life. They are open-ended, pointing out the mystery, and depth of emotional experience, and the paradox that can govern our lives, the ambiguity, joy and sometimes futility of any given moment.
In some ways Haiku is a creative expression of what can come directly from the heart.
But this does not mean that intellectualisation and philosophical meanings cannot form part of the Haiku’s approach, or that further conventions cannot be expanded and develop.
Some western poets have explored other topics rather than traditional seasonal forms, and are using more modern ideas to broaden the poem’s form.
The present tense is often used however, to promote a sense of immediacy to the poem, highlighting that moment of insight, which is the Haiku’s main function.
Any poetical form conforms to some conventions, and with Haiku this often shows itself by keeping it simple grammatically, ie, no title, punctuation or capital letters.
I shall try and keep to some conventions, as this is entering into the spirit of Haiku. However, I have opted to give my Haiku’s a title, as well as a number, otherwise it will completely trash my filing systems and I won’t be able to find anything afterwards in my filing systems, let alone on Flickr! Not only that of course, but the use of images is a break away from convention itself, but my poetry has always been written in direct response to the image in front of me, as well as the experience of taking the image.
I have found them to be a delight and a challenge to write in the past, so I thought I would use the brain cells and write some more. It is also an opportunity to use some images I might not otherwise have considered, which gives rise to some interesting correlations. And I may or may not, use music to go with it. It has got to hit just as hard as the poem. I have found that the poetry form of Haiku seems to suit my poetry style, which is all about the many emotions we humans go through in life, in our pursuit of understanding, happiness, faith and peace.
On some of the works there might be a small introduction. But its power is in keeping it simple. So I shall have to curb my writing tendencies.
To see my other poetry and images, have a look at my website at:

"Chains"
With her wine-stained lips, yeah, she nothing but trouble
Cold to the touch but she's warm as a devil
I gave her my heart but she wanted my soul
She takes 'til I break and I can't get more
You got me in chains, you got me in chains for your love
But I wouldn't change, no, I wouldn't change this love
You got me in chains, you got me in chains for your love
But I wouldn't change, no, I wouldn't change this love
Tryna break the chains but the chains only break me
(Hey-ey-ey-ey, hey-ey-ey-ey, hey-ey-ey-ey, hey-ey-ey-ey)
Tryna break the chains but the chains only break me
Alone in the night 'til she knocks on my door
Oh no, wasted again but I can't say no (no)
Baby tell me why, why you do, do me wrong
Baby tell me why, why you do, do me wrong
Gave you my heart but you took my soul
You got me in chains, you got me in chains for your love
But I wouldn't change, no, I wouldn't change this love
You got me in chains, you got me in chains for your love
But I wouldn't change, no, I wouldn't change this love
Tryna break the chains but the chains only break me
(Hey-ey-ey-ey, hey-ey-ey-ey, hey-ey-ey-ey, hey-ey-ey-ey)
Tryna break the chains but the chains only break me

I am adding this a little late into the posting but time was taken from me unexpectedly earlier… I wished to relate what spoke to me when I came across these beauties. When I walked upon the scene I saw the flowers first ..then the chains that held them all together. The correlation for me was the beauty in the softness of the petals the flourishing while being held close by the strength of the chains. No restrictions but more like loving boundaries, shelter, guidelines yet freedom to grow to express….someone loving you enough to say .. This is where I need you .. I wish you close. They also, spoke to me of a deep relationship, a trust that some can never understand, a bond that transcends. Smiles … that is just me.. The beauty is in the eye of the beholder ..we all know that!!!
Compared to other chillies, the jalapeño heat level varies from mild to hot depending on cultivation. The number of scars on the pepper, which appear as small brown lines, called 'corking', has a positive correlation with heat level, as growing conditions which increase heat level also cause the pepper to form scars. So if you like yours hot look for the scars.

To experience the reemergence of spring is to love again. Not only are birds nesting, and bees buzzing happily amongst the fresh new flowers, but there is also a scientific reason for the correlation of spring time to love. It's called dopamine. It is a well known fact that dopamine is triggered by novel experiences and what season has more novelty than spring. So much so, that we humans produce enough dopamine during the spring months to become actual love junkies. Truth!! Is it any wonder that spring is the season of love? And this ain't no April Fool's joke. Be careful out there everyone.

At least some of them. The location of these Standing Stones is about two kilometres north-east of St Columb Major, Cornwall. Since Christian times, this neolithic stone row has been known as the "Nine Sisters" or the "Nine Maidens" - and that is not meant in a positive way (in the battle against the old religion the pre-Christian monuments were blacklisted: nine girls dancing on holy Sunday were turned to stone. There you are). The stones are still standing. They have survived for almost 5000 years. It is quite appropriate that the clouds on this day were touching the earth. The correlation of heaven and earth must have been on the minds of the people who built the stone row. Edited in Fuji's raw converter and refined in Luminar.

The Ox is the second of the 12-year periodic sequence of animals which appear in the Chinese zodiac related to the Chinese calendar, and also appears in related calendar systems. The Chinese term translated here as ox is in Chinese niú, a word generally referring to cows, bulls, or neutered types of the bovine family, such as common cattle or water buffalo. The zodiacal ox may be construed as male, female, neuter, and either singular or plural. The Year of the Ox is also denoted by the Earthly Branch symbol chǒu. The term "zodiac" ultimately derives from an Ancient Greek term referring to a "circle of little animals". There are also a yearly month of the ox and a daily hour of the ox. Years of the oxen are cyclically differentiated by correlation to the Heavenly Stems cycle, resulting in a repeating cycle of five years of the ox/cow, each ox/cow year also being associated with one of the Chinese wǔxíng, also known as the "five elements", or "phases": the "Five Phases" being Fire, Water, Wood, Metal, and Earth. The Year of the Ox follows after the Year of the Rat and it is followed by the Year of the Tiger.

"Seeing a flock of starlings fly together [is] like watching a shape-shifting cloud, a single being moving and twisting in unpredictable formations in the sky. But what you are really seeing is thousands, sometimes millions of individual birds. As starlings gather in the evenings to roost, often they will participate in what is called a murmuration — a huge flock that shape-shifts in the sky as if it were one swirling liquid mass. Often the behavior is sparked by the presence of a predator like a hawk or peregrine falcon, and the flock's movement is based on evasive maneuvers. There is safety in numbers, so the individual starlings do not scatter but rather are able to move as an intelligent cloud, feinting away from a diving raptor, thousands of birds changing direction almost simultaneously. The question that has had scientists stumped is how each bird, most of them tens or hundreds of birds away from the danger, senses the shift and moves in unison? The secret lies in the same systems that apply to anything on the cusp of a shift, like snow before an avalanche, where the velocity of one bird affects the velocity of the rest. It's called "scale-free correlation," and every shift of the murmuration is called a critical transition. Because the size of the flock doesn't matter, a huge flock is able to respond to a predator attack as effectively and fluidly as a small flock. No matter the size, the system works. If one bird changes speed or direction, so do the others. The question remains, however, how does an individual bird spark a change if all are busy responding to the movement of everyone else? And more importantly, how do they do it so incredibly quickly?" A research "...team discovered that one bird's movement only affects its seven closest neighbors. Each of those neighbors' movements affect their closest seven neighbors and so on through the flock. This is how a flock is able to look like a twisting, morphing cloud with some parts moving in one direction and at another speed. Why seven? It's one of those numbers that just works in nature, and a systems-theoretic approach to studying starling flocks showed it. 'Interacting with six or seven neighbors optimizes the balance between group cohesiveness and individual effort,' write the researchers in the study." Source: mnn.com>earth matter>animals.
