all i need
a hug, you leaning
into me and loving
the time.
this is all
a beautiful sign
like angels ushering
the triumphal entry
of god dying for us
or of butterflies
entering the banquet hall
of anther and filament
announcing feasts
of regeneration.
Or,
of, literally,
wrapping arms around
a dog on a cool
fall evening.
something insidious
and bitter is
stripped away
in this moment
in this embrace.
Keeping to a theme of distorted or dissolving architectures that provide a metaphor for the dissolution of rational constructs that no longer serve. My previous image cited the Major Arcana Tarot Card, The Tower, as a psychological metaphor for the coming down of a mental or psychic construct that is deemed as nothing but a hindrance in current circumstances. Here I reference that again but add to that the growing critique of the notion of modern, capitalist, exploitative progress at the expense of all else. The notion of limitless growth and limitless profit is patently ridiculous. Such growth, as I think we'll see in our lifetimes, will simply have to stop. It cannot be sustained. And again, this is not so much about radical changes to the outward world we know, but a radicalization of the thinking that creates it.

The blue color of the spring is caused by dissolved dolomite and limestone. Flow rate 26 million gallons per day.
Zeit oder Die Plancksche Konstante

„Die Zeit ist kein Naturgesetz.“ sagte sie. „Sie ist ein Plan. Wenn man sie aufmerksam ansieht, oder anfängt, sie zu berühren, fängt sie an, sich aufzulösen. Das ist das Ergebnis des ersten Teils des Versuchs. Dieser Plan ist nicht von Biehl. Dazu ist er zu groß und zu total. Der zweite Teil wird sein, zu untersuchen, was hinter der Zeit steckt. Wir haben gesehen, wie sie anfing, zu zerfallen. Das nächste wird sein, zu verstehen, was dahintersteckt."

Time is not a natural law," she said. "It is a plan. When time is observed attentively, or one begins to touch time, it starts to dissolve. This is the result of the first part of the experiment. This plan is not from Biehl. Therefor it is too big and too total. The second part will be to investigate what is behind time. We've seen time begin to decompose. The next will be to understand what is behind time."

The Rijnhaven metro station made for an excellent vantage point, with the former Rijnhaven turning into a park and the high rises of the Wilhelminepier partly dissolving in the mist.

Altinote ozomene (Godart's Altinote / Mariposa hada)
Godart's Altinote occurs in the Andean region of Colombia and Ecuador, in cloudforest habitats, at elevations between 630 - 3300 m. Males commonly bask on unsurfaced roads, where they imbibe dissolved minerals from the damp ground.
Altinote ozomene can easily be recognised by the strong blue sheen and the red-yellow patches at the base of the forewings. There are 6 subspecies found variously from Mexico to Bolivia.

going back to the beginning of time, dissolving into the nothingness and returning to my true nature...
This was a macro of coffee granules dissolving in stirred boiling water. When I was processing it I thought that it looked like a Norwegian Nisse, hence the title.

Thanks for your comments and faves, they are truly appreciated.
. . . When I first saw this pattern in the hot pool runoff water that is what I first thought of. This is one of the pools at Norris Geyser Basin, and if you just look at the bottom part of the picture under the tree, you might think the same.
The hot water from the pool contains dissolved minerals and since algae grow at different temperatures as the water cools, the colors and patterns are infinite!
Have a great week Facebook, Flickr, and 500px friends!
The mansion seemed less a house than a vision, its walls dissolving into light and laughter, its music rising like a tide that carried me far from myself. I drifted through the throng, dazzled by the glittering faces and the perfume of champagne. And then—suddenly, as though conjured from the very air—he was there. Gatsby.
He stood with the quiet assurance of one who belongs to the very dream he inhabits, his smile touched with mystery. I felt words stir within me, but they faltered before they could take shape.
“Would you care for a glass of champagne?” he asked, his voice smooth, almost musical, as if the question itself were part of the orchestra’s refrain.
I smiled, helplessly, and answered, “Yes, please,” though I was certain my awkwardness betrayed me. Yet in that moment, beneath the chandeliers and the endless glitter, even folly seemed gilded, and I was caught in the spell of his world.
I hope you like it.

Centred on the artist as avatar, she builds, breaks down, gestures, cries, dissolves. Colour passes over her monochromatic existence. At all times somebody and nobody. An exercise in the minimal.

Sea foam is created by the agitation of sea water and in particular when it contains higher concentrations of organic matter that has been dissolved, such as proteins, lipids and offshore breakdown of algal blooms. These substances can act like foaming agents and when the sea is churned up and breaks on the shore line trapping in air and producing the bubbles. The colour of the sea foam will depend on what properties are in the foam at that time. Due to the sea foams low density the foam can be blown by strong on shore winds from the beach into the land.
...Monday night would provide a brief break from the plains and a quick visit to the city to grab some drinks. As I mentioned before, my relatives out there are also interested in railroads - so I didn't even have to ask to make a quick stop outside of Denver's Union Station to catch some trains. If we're being honest, I'd normally shrug at anything Amtrak around here - but I've found you'll shoot pretty much anything when you're so far from home. P42s are becoming the next dying breed anyway, so there's my excuse.
The train is on electrified RTD trackage shoving into the stub-ended station, and will get a fresh crew here, but won't end up departing until well after dark. This spot on the Wewatta Street overpass ROCKED, as we were able to look right into Coors Field across the tracks and watch the Rockies playing the Brewers... too bad I don't follow sports much.
This one cut right to the root of what i love about painting...
Exploring untouched walls, having no set plan, and being resourceful by making the most out of the minimal materials and time available.

Life seems to sometimes take me for a ride and really the best I can do is try not to panic, remember that the answer is 42, and hold on while powers greater than myself dictate the future. I can't imagine that this place was planned, but to me this place became a work of art through thousands of years of monsoons, rain & wind storms. It's a barren an inhospitable place that becomes impassible when wet. On this trip I gained a new found respect for the mud in the southwest. In fact, an understanding, because the night before is when I got my jeep stuck in the mud 11 miles from the freeway as a thunder & lightning storm was rolling around on the horizon.
It was one of those moments where you're driving along on the dirt road and you see some mud and you think, oh there's a little water, but it should be fine. Well, in most cases, yes. In this particular place in the Southwest, you're going to get stuck.
I watched the sunset burn while I tried to frantically dig out praying that the looming thunderclouds didn't come my direction. As I night hiked out the lightning started illuminating the sky with bright flashes. If you've ever been out hiking alone in the dessert with lightning you fell like it's on top of you no matter how far away it is. The primal fear eventually subsided, and acceptance set in. I decided to sleep a few hours on this spot to capture this astronomical twilight scene. Alex Noriega was an inspiration here and deserves acknowledgement.
The beautiful Church of St Mary and All Saints at Fotheringhay in Northamptonshire is noted for containing a mausoleum to leading members of the Yorkist dynasty of the Wars of the Roses.
The work on the present church, which sits on a slight hill overlooking the River Nene, was begun by Edward III who also built a college as a cloister on the church's southern side. After completion in around 1430, a parish church of similar style was added to the western end of the collegiate church with work beginning in 1434. It is the parish church which still remains.
The present Grade I-listed church is named in honour of St Mary and All Saints, and has a distinctive tall tower dominating the local skyline. The church is Perpendicular in style and although only the nave, aisles and octagonal tower remain of the original building it is still in the best style of its period. I particularly like the delicate flying buttresses. The church is regarded by Simon Jenkins as one of England's Thousand Best Churches.
The chancel was pulled down after the college was dissolved in 1553 following the Dissolution of the Monasteries. A grammar school was founded in its place which lasted until 1859.

I really can’t get my head around why people buy jeans that are full of holes; I know they are fashionable but to pay for holes, come on! It’s like buying a packet of Polo mints, you pay for a hole and you get a bit of a minty sweet around it; beats me. I wonder what happens to all the middle bits.
