This boat has disintegrated somewhat over the years, the rear part has gone now, ravaged by the Icelandic winds and winters here in the north.
We stopped here to look for fossils from the Pleistocene period, the only fossils in Iceland. I searched the beach for an hour and found nothing. As we left I looked out of the car window down at the ground and saw a rock full of fossilised sea shells. Then I realised the whole cliff behind us was full of them.
As they say when taking photographs, always check the view behind as well!
The very last Shasta Daisy flower in our garden, it hung on until Christmas & then the petals gradually disintegrated. Happy first Sliders Sunday of 2016!
When Fujifilm’s Acros II was announced, I had mixed feelings. It reminded me of when I went to see the Cure on their farewell tour in the early 1990s. I cried throughout the show at the Wembley Arena, believing that I’d never again see the band that had just released what I thought to be the greatest record of all time, Disintegration.
When they returned a few years later, I never quite forgave them, and still think that they never made any music that was close to comparing to the magnificent gloominess of Disintegration. That may have been because I’d moved on, but it could well have been because of the emotions that they put me through by going away, and returning before my cheeks were dry.
You see, I’d had quite an attachment to Fujifilm’s Neopan Acros before it was discontinued. I’d taken many of my favourite pictures using it, often at night, taking advantage of the film’s unmatched abilities to handle long exposures.
While I was pretty disappointed when it was announced that it was to be discontinued (note: we shoot film in the 21st century and therefore cannot have any expectations that companies will continue to make what is barely even a niche product), I set about auditioning a new favourite and settled quickly on Ilford’s FP4+. I’d moved on.
Acros II was initially released in Japan, and a friend of a friend arranged to import a few rolls privately. We came to an arrangement that meant I would end up with two rolls of the film in 120 format. By way of an experiment, I headed out into last night’s fog and shot a few of what both Graeme on Sunny 16, and Mike on the Negative Positives refer to as my ‘signature image’, that is a lone LED street light in the dark.
I shot the roll at EI160 and mostly around f/5.6-f/8 and am delighted to report that the new formulation (which is made in the UK) does everything that the old version did. The detail is superb, with endless tones in the grey areas, lovely dark blacks and not a hint of grain.
It is exactly how I like my film to look…
On this occasion, I didn’t expose anything for more than about six seconds, so reciprocity wasn’t an issue. On the next roll, I’ll push things further and see how if performs when exposures get up towards a couple of minutes. If as I expect, it’s like the old stuff, it’ll be just fine.
Gubbins:
Mamiya C330f, Fujifilm Neopan Acros II exposed at EI160. Processed for 11 minutes in Ilford Ilfotec DD-X at 1:4 and scanned at home.
Granules of the grinding wheel glow as they are kicked away from the contact point and then transition (disintegrate) into cool dust particles.
Hehehe, yeee, my little girls :3
Phoebe really adores Addie, and vice versa.. hehe :p
At the moment, I'm uploading on my Becky's laptop, (thank you my hon, echerrio :3 ♥), so ye :D I'm not sure about this photo honestly, it was just a random one I found which I thought was not too bad... because I think these two are so cute together. xD

All that remains.
A pit in the ground and two giant western red cedar beams are all that remains of the ~30 Haida longhouses at the village of K'uuna Llnagaay (Skedans). A panoramic photo of Skedans by the early photographer George Dawson in 1878 shows large numbers of frontal poles (large totem poles containing the round front entry of longhouses), mortuary poles and memorial poles, and they are also featured in several pieces of art from ~1912 by the famous Canadian artist, Emily Carr.
The remains of more than 50 pieces of monumental sculpture can be seen here and, even though they are carved from rot-resistant cedar, they last only about a hundred years before they begin to disintegrate. The disintegration is recognized by the Haida culture as a natural part of a pole’s life cycle.
I created this painting with acrylics and pastels and paper collaging. For me this collage represents all the fine constructions and buildings in Germany slowly unfolding and being taken over by the environment. Germans are some of the better constructors of the world but all is impermanent. There is quite a large number of abandoned buildings falling apart in East Germany because of past politics. Almost everywhere you go there are remnants of this old time. See more at Gorsdclements.ca
The Salvador Dalí Museum is an art museum in St. Petersburg, Florida, United States, dedicated to the works of Salvador Dalí. It houses the largest collection of Dalí's works outside Europe, located on the downtown St. Petersburg waterfront by 5th Avenue Southeast, Bay Shore Drive, and Dan Wheldon Way.
Reportedly costing over $30 million, the surrealism-inspired museum structure features a large glass entryway and skylight made of 1.5-inch (38 mm) thick glass. Referred to as the "Enigma", the glass entryway is 75 feet (23 m) tall and encompasses a spiral staircase. The remaining walls are composed of 18-inch (460 mm) thick concrete, designed to protect the collection from hurricanes which hit the region from time to time.
The Museum is a member of the American Alliance of Museums (AAM) and of the North American Reciprocal Museums program.
The museum features a variety of different events for families to attend. Some events include performances, workshops, films, lectures, different types of fundraising, and food & drink events. Many previous events have allowed members to participate in handmade holiday card workshops where participants created their very own holiday card including a Dalí theme. In addition, there has been weekly poetry performances and lectures such as coffee with a curator, a presentation on a theme-oriented topic that discusses a variety of topics in relation to Dalí.
Shortly before marrying in 1942, Reynolds and Eleanor Morse attended a Dalí retrospective at the Cleveland Museum of Art. Intrigued by the artist's subject matter, and impressed by his draftsmanship, they bought their first painting a year later. This purchase began a 40-year relationship as patrons and friends of Dalí that resulted in a comprehensive collection of original Dalí work.
Until 1971, the Morses displayed their collection in their Cleveland, Ohio, home. When they loaned over 200 pieces to a Dalí retrospective in 1965, they realized that 25 years of curation had produced a unique collection that needed a permanent home.
In March 1971, with Salvador Dalí presiding over the opening, the Morses opened a museum adjacent to their office building in Beachwood, Ohio. By the end of the decade, with an overwhelming number of visitors, the Morses decided to again move their collection.
After a drawn-out search which drew national attention, a marine warehouse in downtown St. Petersburg, Florida was rehabilitated and the museum opened on March 7, 1982, where it remained until 2010.
In mid-2008, a new location for the Dali museum was announced. A new building was designed by Yann Weymouth of the architectural firm HOK and built by The Beck Group[ under the leadership of then-CEO Henry C. Beck III. Located on the downtown waterfront next to the Mahaffey Theater, on the former site of the Bayfront Center, (an arena which had been demolished in 2004), the new, larger, and more storm-secure museum was opened on January 11, 2011.
On April 18, 2012, the AIA's Florida Chapter placed the building on its list of Florida Architecture: 100 Years. 100 Places.
The museum's collection includes 96 oil paintings, over 100 watercolors and drawings, 1,300 graphics, photographs, sculptures, and objets d'art, plus an extensive archival library.
The Museum Library contains over 7,000 volumes, exhibition and sale catalogs, video, sound recordings, and special collections related to Dalí's life, Surrealism, and the Avant-garde. The library also holds the donated collection of Albert Field, a New York collector and Dalí archivist. Recently, the museum opened a new exhibit named "Dali Lives", which uses artificial intelligence to help visitors to experience an interactive modern-day Dali. Permanent collection displays are periodically rotated, and several temporary shows are mounted each year.
The museum is home to more masterpieces of Dalí than any other museum in the world, including the large-scale paintings The Hallucinogenic Toreador, The Discovery of America by Christopher Columbus, The Ecumenical Council, Geopoliticus Child Watching the Birth of the New Man and The Disintegration of the Persistence of Memory.
In addition to displaying the work of Dalí, the museum aims to educate the public and promote understanding, enjoyment, and scholarly examination of art through the exhibition of works by Dalí and artists of similar vision.
With the exception of the Dalí Theater-Museum created by Dalí himself in his hometown of Figueres in Catalonia, the St. Petersburg Dalí Museum has the world's largest collections of Dalí's works.
During the 2020 COVID-19 pandemic, the Salvador Dalí Museum made their gallery available for viewing online.

A disintegrating mountain wave cloud catches filtered sunlight at sunset on the eastern slopes of the southern Rockies. With wind speeds declining the linear bands of cloud on the left are becoming more wavy. An alternative explanation is the oncoming witching hour has the tree skeletons conjuring up visions of hell. Take your pick....
Fear of human spontaneous combustion.
I'm starting a new series of phobias and this is the first installment. And I'm proud of this. Today was a good day.

You will never be alone, you hear so deep
a sound when autumn comes. Yellow
pulls across the hills and thrums,
or the silence after lightning before it says
its names - and then the clouds’ wide-mouthed
apologies. You were aimed from birth:
you will never be alone. Rain
will come, a gutter filled, and Amazon,
long aisles - you never heard so deep a sound,
moss on rock, and years.
You turn your head -
that’s what the silence meant: you are not alone.
The whole wide world pours down.
- William Stafford
Out with the Focus group on Saturday to Coledale for the first time. Great rock shelf to the north of the beach. It has 2 lines of pipe supports that has disintegrated. This one farthest to the north picks up the early morning rays of the sun beautifully with the remnants of the rusty pipe that was plus some nice reflections in the middle.
