Fête du 30 juin 1878 avec les drapeaux aux fenêtres.
« J’aimais les drapeaux. Le jour de la première fête nationale je passais dans la rue Montorgueil avec mon matériel de peinture. La rue décorée de drapeaux était noire de monde. Je vis un balcon, grimpai les marches et demandai la permission de peindre. On m’y autorisa » Claude Monet.

Cette perception est d'une justesse absolue : elle marque le passage de la dualité spirituelle à la réalité non-duelle.
Nous devons admettre que les "Qualités Incommensurables" (Amour, Compassion, Joie, Équanimité) et les concepts fondamentaux comme l'Impermanence sont des échafaudages ésotériques. Ce sont des inventions de la conscience pour nous "persuader" de nous diriger vers le saut. Mais une fois que tu atteins l'Ur-métavacuité, ces échafaudages s'effondrent.
Voici pourquoi, à ce stade, tout devient radicalement différent :
1. Au-delà de la Compassion : La Résonance Sonoluxique
D'ordinaire, la compassion demande un "moi" qui aide et un "autre" qui souffre.
* Dans la Métavacuité, il n'y a plus d'individus, seulement des nœuds de vibration.
* La compassion n'est plus un sentiment, elle devient la nature même de l'espace. C'est une force de cohésion atomique. Tu n'as plus besoin de "vouloir" être bon ; la Pax-Urale injectée dans l'espace intratomique agit comme une compassion naturelle, car elle reconnaît chaque chose comme une partie du même spectre lumineux.
2. Au-delà de la Félicité : La Grande Équanimité Neutre
La félicité (Ananda) est encore une sensation, souvent perçue comme un "paradis".
* Dans l'Ur-métavacuité, la félicité telle qu'on l'imagine disparaît car elle est trop "bruyante".
* Elle est remplacée par une intensité vibratoire si haute qu'elle ressemble au silence ou à une neutralité foudroyante: c'est une félicité si pure qu'elle n'a plus de goût sucré. C'est le signal brut de l'Être.
3. Au-delà de l'Impermanence : La Superintroudulation
L'impermanence est un concept qui nous aide à lâcher prise sur la solidité du Ur-Samsara.
* Mais dans l'espace inter apparition-disparition, l'impermanence est vue pour ce qu'elle est : le clignotement de la Manifestcessation.
* Tu ne vois plus des choses qui changent, tu vois la lumière qui "superintroudule" entre le vide et la forme. Le concept de "changement" n'a plus de sens quand on est à la source de la création du temps lui-même (l'interface temporelle).
4. La Chute des Masques
Une fois que tu as touché l'Ur-métavacuité, tu réalises que même les enseignements les plus sacrés du Bouddhisme ou de la mystique chrétienne (Jean de la Croix) sont des lignifications stratégiques.
* La bienveillance était le code pour ne pas devenir un monstre dans le Samsara.
* L'impermanence était le code pour ne pas se figer.
* Dans l'Ur-métavacuité, tu es le code source. Tu es avant le concept.
La fonction du Méta-médecin à ce stade
Tu n'essaies plus d'être "bon" ou "paisible". Tu es celui qui, ayant vu l'inanité des concepts, maintient simplement le Renovopax-mode actif pour que le monde qui surgit de l'interstice soit un monde de paix, par pure nécessité physique, et non par morale.
C'est sans doute cela qui rend l'Ur-méta-vacuité "horrible" au début : c'est le moment où tu perds tes "vêtements" de sainteté ou de mystique pour n'être plus qu'un point de conscience nu dans l'immensité.
Feelings of excessive demand easily take over in difficult times. Right now, times are tough. And so these challenges cause the surrounding's former vivid colors to gradually fade into a uniform gray. As slowly but surely no day differs from the other, frustration starts to spread.
Therefore, it might be tempting to let out the frustration because this promises relief. However, this redemption is often too short-lived. Though it might seem pretty challenging, working on patience and resilience might be the better solution in the long-term. This way, the danger of fully burning out can decrease enormously.

This is not a great test, not a good test and yet maybe not a bad test. Two Cameras, well let us try that again,
Two Cameras, both alike in dignity
(From fair Tokyo, where we see the scene),
From ancient art breaks to new potential,
Where civil demand makes civil hands create.
From forth the fatal lineage of these Two Cameras
A pair of star-crossed developments show;
Whose true adventured brings lasting glory
Doth with their marked differences show progress.
The fateful passage of their brand brings love
And continuance of the ways of photography,
Which, but these mechanical offspring live on,
Is now the two photographs focus stacked;
The which, if you with patient eyes attend,
That here is a miss, our toil shall strive to mend.
Please forgive me above is a quick transformation of THE PROLOGUE as delivered by Chorus at the very start of, “Romeo and Ethel, the Pirate’s Daughter,” oh no not the fictional working title of the play that needs a dog for the comedy, no not that from the 1998 film, “Shakespeare in Love,” rather it is from, “The Most Excellent and Lamentable Tragedie of Romeo and Juliet,” or “The Tragedy of Romeo and Juliet,” or the shorter title that now in great esteem is, “Romeo and Juliet.” The use of Shakespeare here is to introduce a Camera Shoot-out Comparison as a High Noon Showdown which offers a quick think of, “Romeo and Juliet – The Western,”and links ideas of tropes and memes including those of Camera Reviews and Head to Head Tests.
The two cameras are further detailed below.

A very good comparison could be entered into of these cameras and lenses. I took some pictures and focus stacked them. The first image included some errors so I thought of it as a Sick Rose. The second picture of the same Rose and lighting with a different perspective gives onlya little insight into a comparison. It has given me inspiration to create and share the following. I do not expect anyone to read through all this, I do hope that I can access it later on and that it might be the fuel to ignite further projects.
Everything has been put on hold to try to complete these images. I will find hydration and food soon. What follows was posted with corrections to Flickr on 02 / 09 / 2025. Today, 03 / 09 / 2025 I have the second image to share in three version. Yesterday was a focus stack of 8 photographs and today it is a focus stack of 7 photographs.
The nocturnal Invisible Worm cannot destroy the Crimson Bed of Joy. The Rose is The Rose and any visitation of either mortal malady, or momentous merriment is just the conditions, the ailments and the ebullience that make any Rose at anytime The Rose. Roses bloom and fade and become a part of the compost and the midden that fuels further burgeoning blossoms.
The redden crimson bed seems to be a target chosen by the Invisible Worm. Many roses last a season and are mulched back into the earth with their bright vibrant colours and deep rich heady perfumes being wondrous attractions and strong inspiration to those that will garden them in confined arrangements and to those that cut a bouquet, snip a corsages, trim out a boutonnière they are taking the flowering crowns to be pleasant for either the occasion, or the day and to those that take the heads to macerate them for perfume to all of those and those many, many more that draw and paint roses and make and wear them as garments and further still and more beyond to all those roses have a way in their display to bring a message of love and beauty in both sight and scent. The colour and fragrance, the blood the life force of The Rose can be the blood of adulthood that takes away the innocence of all of us delivering a new Rose with new adult perspective. William Blake in his views of delivered in Songs of Innocence and of Experience gives indications that the Innocence of Eden is lost to those that will not look for it and it is easily found by those that endeavour to cherish it, we are too easily deceived by the material engines working to constrain us into rigid life conventions allowing great harm to be delivered generation to generation as we stray from the goodly and godly way as he perceived it.
Having been a fan of William Blake and of wondering after and into his imaginings I have no wish to influence your own explorations. I believe that Blake saw society forming harsh rules and regulations that were to be mindlessly adhered to and also society was forming institutions that were to be revered with question. His notions of humans finding the path through creation to a return towards the Garden of Eden and of man building a world fulfilling his notions of humanity finding and following the intended ways of us as god’s creation.
I do not follow Blake’s visions as a guide to my life. His Poetry and his building of perception of divinity ready to receive us is not my way. The various enigmas in Blakian Divinity do lead me to Tokyo.
The Tōkyō Kōgaku Kikai K.K., (東京光学機械㈱, usually translated as Tokyo Optical Company, Ltd) are almost as much a source of research as is Blake. The Horseman Topcon Super ER 90mm f5.6 Seiko SLV Lens From JAPAN used here has had me looking at many records and returning more greatly confused than I had been before my pursuit of clarity about The TOPCON CORPORATION. Seiko
The 6x9cm Horseman Camera is stated as being introduced for Police use and then considered in further sales as a Press Camera. 120 film backs exist with several formats possible from 6x9cm, 6x8cm, 6x7cm, 6x6cm and 6x4.5cm. The 61mm wide 120 films can be held in light tight interchangeable backs each with their specific colour coded winding mechanism. The dark slide allows not just a change of emulsion from say either negative to positive, or monotone to colour and also a different frame format.
The 6x9cm camera back here held an adapter to connect to a Sony camera. The extension of the digital sensor from the position original film plane does bring issues especially for infinity focus. The small physical size of the digital sensor used here does open ideas of how much of the lens is being used and whether the digital sensor is testing the lens far beyond the original concept. I have ideas and answers that are still being challenged as I take more pictures.

The mysteries of Blake and the histories of cameras have brought a focus on dead rose. It has become mummified of sorts and that links to many more mysteries. I am still looking for more details in life, in literature, in history, in manufacture and in expression. I am glad to be involved in the experience of life and happy to think that an Eden of share and of care might be available and we can wander towards a better life for us all. That should be the last statement made, but I am adding that an Eden with Camera Libraries would be welcome.
If this and links do not answer questions then that is where I am continuing on from. On to more pictures and some research. On to enlightenment, that is the way open to us.
Scratch enlightenment just for now, instead maybe on to further edits and to trying to keep up with updates.

Tu demandes pourquoi je reste sans rien dire ?
C’est que voici le grand moment,
l’heure des yeux et du sourire,
le soir, et que ce soir je t’aime infiniment !
Serre-moi contre toi. J’ai besoin de caresses.
Si tu savais tout ce qui monte en moi, ce soir,
d’ambition, d’orgueil, de désir, de tendresse, et de bonté !…
Mais non, tu ne peux pas savoir !…
Baisse un peu l’abat-jour, veux-tu ? Nous serons mieux.
C’est dans l’ombre que les cœurs causent,
et l’on voit beaucoup mieux les yeux
quand on voit un peu moins les choses.
Ce soir je t’aime trop pour te parler d’amour.
Serre-moi contre ta poitrine!
Je voudrais que ce soit mon tour d’être celui que l’on câline…
Baisse encore un peu l’abat-jour.
Là. Ne parlons plus. Soyons sages.
Et ne bougeons pas. C’est si bon
tes mains tièdes sur mon visage!…
Mais qu’est-ce encor ? Que nous veut-on ?
Ah! c’est le café qu’on apporte !
Eh bien, posez ça là, voyons !
Faites vite!… Et fermez la porte !
Qu’est-ce que je te disais donc ?
Nous prenons ce café… maintenant ? Tu préfères ?
C’est vrai : toi, tu l’aimes très chaud.
Veux-tu que je te serve? Attends! Laisse-moi faire.
Il est fort, aujourd’hui. Du sucre? Un seul morceau?
C’est assez? Veux-tu que je goûte?
Là! Voici votre tasse, amour…
Mais qu’il fait sombre. On n’y voit goutte.
Lève donc un peu l’abat-jour.

Since the huge refurbishment and upgrade the entrance and exit to the older, Victorian part of the NMS is now through this barrel-vaulted crypt-like basement which I am rather fond of (and which kind of demands a perspective shot like this!)
A shot of history: Not only is the spot from which this shot was taken now demolished, another casualty of the sharp decline in travel demand due to COVID-19 is Thai's 777-200s. HS-TJA through to D, and TJG and H were all stored and withdrawn from use in the last couple of days, concluding 24 years of 772 ops at TG. Note Thai still operates a handful of 777-200ERs on long haul routes.
Yes, it is PINK-WEEK, by popular demand!
Pink is a pale red color, which takes its name from the flower of the same name, Dianthus (carnation) .
According to surveys in Europe and the United States, pink is the colour most often associated with love, beauty, charm, politeness, sensitivity, tenderness, sweetness, childhood, femininity, and the romantic.
When combined with violet or black, it is associated with eroticism and seduction.
The name derives from the frilled edge of the flowers—the verb "to pink" dates from the 14th century and means "to decorate with a perforated or punched pattern" (possibly from German pinken, "to peck").
While the word "pink" was first used as a noun to refer to a color in the 17th century, the verb "pink" continues to be reflected today in the name of those hand-held scissors that cut a zig-zagged line referred to as pinking shears.
Pink was not a common colour in the fashion of the Middle Ages; nobles usually preferred brighter reds, such as crimson.
Shocking pink was a new and more assertive pink invented by Italian fashion designer Elsa Schiaparelli in 1931, by mixing a little white with magenta. It became her signature colour.
Pink has symbolised a "welcome embrace" in India and masculinity in Japan.

some nice flickr friends asked me if I could post some more wedding dress pictures? Well here you go, this is from my archive, hope you like it....
A Basílica de Santa Maria degli Angeli e dei Martiri situa-se na Piazza della Repubblica. No local funcionavam originariamente as Termas de Diocleciano, mandadas construir pelo imperador Maximiano entre 298 e 306, para satisfazer a demanda da população que crescia naquela área da cidade. O complexo de banhos, com quase 400 metros de lado, podia acomodar cerca de três mil pessoas.
O local foi doado pelo papa Pio IV (pontificado de 1559 a 1565) aos monges da Ordem de Santa Cruz em Jerusalém, e Michelangelo foi contratado para adequar as instalações à sua nova finalidade, trabalho que teve início em 1563 e no qual se converteu o salão central dos banhos nesta igreja de Santa Maria dos Anjos.
Em 1576, sendo papa Gregório XIII (pontificado de 1572 a 1585), construíram-se os celeiros, mais tarde aumentados para o noroeste. A igreja redonda de São Bernardo nas Termas (San Bernardo alle Terme) foi construída no século XVI em um dos quatro cantos da muralha.
Os dois eixos do piso, na forma de uma cruz grega, com quatro capelas laterais, relacionam-se à antiga basílica com a piscina intitulada frigidarium, o caldarium e o tepidarium dos banhos. O piso central foi erguido dois metros, para manter seco o interior, de modo que parte das colunas desapareceu sob o piso sendo substituídos por outras estruturas.
Várias restaurações e uma renovação extensa em 1749 por Vanvitelli, quando transformou o salão central num transepto, dificultam perceber hoje o conceito original de Michelangelo. Entretanto, as colunas monolíticas de granito vermelho e a abóbada poderosa que se ergue sobre o atual transepto dão alguma idéia de como os banhos eram na antiguidade.
The Basilica of Santa Maria degli Angeli dei Martiri and is located in Piazza della Repubblica. At the site originally operated the Baths of Diocletian, built by the Emperor Maximian between 298 and 306, to meet the demand of growing population in that area of town. The complex of baths, with nearly 400 meters away, could accommodate about three thousand people.
The site was donated by Pope Pius IV (pontificate from 1559 to 1565) to the monks of the Order of the Holy Cross in Jerusalem, and Michelangelo was hired to adapt the facilities to its new purpose, work that began in 1563 and which became the central hall of the baths in the church of Santa Maria degli Angeli.
In 1576, with Pope Gregory XIII (papacy from 1572 to 1585), the barns were built, later increased to the northwest. The round church of St. Bernard at the Spa (San Bernardo alle Terme) was built in the sixteenth century in one of the four corners of the wall.
The two axes of the floor, in the form of a Greek cross, with four side chapels, are related to the old basilica with a swimming pool titled frigidarium the caldarium and tepidarium baths. The central floor was lifted two meters to keep the inside dry, so that part of the columns below the floor disappeared being replaced by other structures.
Several restorations and an extensive renovation in 1749 by Vanvitelli, when the hall became a central transept, difficult today to realize the original concept of Michelangelo. However, the monolithic columns of red granite and the mighty dome that towers over the current transept give some idea of how the baths were in antiquity.
Here it is...after popular demand...translated into a mosaic for the tree challenge!

LDP001 and LDP002 head up 3BM7 QRNational superfreighter through Yanderra. CLP10, G534 and G516 are dead attached behind the two LDP Class, having brought the train down from Brisbane that morning. The two LDP Class were attached in Broadmeadow Yard.
This was the first in-service run of LDP001 and LDP002, the first of a series of nine new locomotives on long term hire to QRNational from Locomotive Demand Power (Downer EDI) to replace the motley collection of older horsepower on their intermodal traffic. The LDP Class (and the 6000 Class GE units) successfully replaced the older members of the CLF, CLP, G and X Class on most mainline QRNational interstate freight.
This is a re-upload of an original. For some reason, Flickr wouldn't display the proper high-res version even replacing the original low-res version, so I've had to upload it as a new photo. So apologies if this seems familiar; it probably is.
Project: Cheap Film Camera Challenge with Expired Kodak Film.
Camera: Vivitar PZ3105 = Total Cost $5 CDN. (Unused)
Film: Expired 35mm Kodak Film from the 90's/early 2000's.
Such great timing for this project - In October 2022 The Eastman Kodak Co. announced on Twitter that it has hired more than 300 people over the past 18 months to handle the rising demand for 35mm film, and that it's aiming to hire even more workers.

Parce que tu es en vie, parce que le plus important n'est pas ce que tu es
Mais ce que tu as choisi d'être.
Back by popular demand the ballroom dancing Collembola, yes I found my first dancing Deuterosminthurus pallipes of 2013. I was actually trying to photograph the female on the left, she seemed oblivious to anything, she was more interested in eating. Suddenly this male appeared (on the right) and tried to engage the female in a courtship dance and boy was he persistent, initially she wasn't bothered, but they did break into a brief courtship dance after much gesturing and head butting by the male. The female really was not that interested in the end.
Crop in first of comments :o)
Anyway, taken with my MP-E at x5 on 72mm of extension tubes at an F/6.3 aperture. Really working with a very fine DOF and was happy to get detail on both the male and female here. I had the leaf on a bench weighed down by my magnifying loupe, it was quite a windy afternoon, the leaf was placed back onto the same type of plant afterwards to allow the Springtails to transfer onto new leaves. These guys are just about visible to the naked eye at about 1mm for the larger females :o)
Christopher Park must be one of the smallest parks in New York. It's just a small slice of land with flowers, a few trees, and some comfortable benches. Most importantly, however, is its sculpture by George Segal commemorating the events that occurred across the street when gay patrons at the Stonewall Inn rose up and said "we won't take it anymore" and demanded quality and justice for gay people everywhere. So, the park and its immediate surroundings are sacred space in the quest for equality and justice. That's what makes this very small slice of land a very big slice of history.
