Number 2 in a series of images manipulated from photographs taken in my favourite public greenhouse / hothouse. As science becomes more familiar and open to the fractal realm and the quantum laws of physics, we begin to see the transformation of form, perhaps, away from the strictly Euclidean. Can't come soon enough for me !

Investigators began excavating after cadaver dogs signalled the possible presence of remains of what seemed to be a woman merging with SL completely.

Excerpt from www.destinationontario.com/en-ca/attractions/bonnechere-c...:
Approximately halfway between the famous Algonquin Provincial Park and capital city of Ottawa, you’ll come across the Bonnechere Caves. This stunning geological site is one of the best examples in the world of solution caves, which means they have been dissolved out of the solid rock by acidic waters.
Dating back to the Ordovician time period of the Paleozioc era, this fascinating cave system is thought to have been formed between 400 and 500 million years ago from the limestone floor of a vast sea. Squeeze through the damp, narrow passageways to explore intriguing fossils and geological wonders within the caves.
When Tom Woodward first discovered the caves in 1955, he explored them and drained them, enabling them to be opened up to the public. The caves have since become a popular visitor site and tours and operations are run by a small, family-owned business.
During your tour, you’ll be able to spot fossilized coral, ancient sea creatures — including an octopus — gastropods, cephalopods, crinoid rings and brachiopods, and more in the walls of the caves.
The caves are located near Eganville, Ontario, a small community in the limestone valley along the Bonnechere River in Renfrew County.
The geological wonder of the Bonnechere Caves in Douglas, Ontario, near the better-known Eganville, has been welcoming curious guests from around the globe for over half a century. The caves were discovered in 1955 and first explored by Tom Woodward at the time. The Bonnechere Caves are named for their location on the Fourth Chute of the Bonnechere River in Ottawa Valley.
When you go on the tour, it’s recommended that you wear a light jacket in summer and warmer jackets and coats in cooler seasons. Low-heeled shoes are required.
It’s important to note that the caves have a set of stairs leading down into the depths. Another stairwell returns you back to above ground after the tour. This means, unfortunately, that the caves have limited accessibility and are not stroller or wheelchair friendly. A backpack baby carrier for infants is recommended.
While you’re in the caves, photography is welcome and flashlights are encouraged. Visitors will enjoy the white waters of the waterfall within the caves, along with the many unusual flowstones, stalactites, stalagmites and features along the way.
As you begin the tour, you’ll see a covered area that’s filled with fossils and informational signs depicting the history of the region. The guides have expert knowledge of the fossils, as well, and share their discoveries and knowledge with visitors all throughout the tour.
The walls of the Bonnechere Caves are narrow and many of the rooms have low ceilings, so be careful not to hit your head. Many sections of the tour require single-file lines, while others are wide enough to walk side-by-side with partners or kids.
During your tour, the guide will turn off all light sources to help you soak in the reality of how truly dark the cave is.
Another point of interest apart from the caves is the sinkhole. The trail leading out of the cave brings you up past the sinkhole on the left.
Joshua Tree National Park, California
Skull Rock is one of my favorite subjects..
Standing at about 12 meters tall, it is one of the more interesting monzogranite rock formations in the park. The eye sockets that give it an eerie anthropomorphic look were formed by a process called tafuni, where small depressions in the rock hold water that dissolves the rock then subsequent rainwater leads to more erosion over centuries.
Sunset on Coligny Beach, Hilton Head Island, South Carolina. Title quote from the poem "Don't Go Far Off" by Pablo Neruda.
Don't go far off, not even for a day, because --
because -- I don't know how to say it: a day is long
and I will be waiting for you, as in an empty station
when the trains are parked off somewhere else, asleep.
Don't leave me, even for an hour, because
then the little drops of anguish will all run together,
the smoke that roams looking for a home will drift
into me, choking my lost heart.
Oh, may your silhouette never dissolve on the beach;
may your eyelids never flutter into the empty distance.
Don't leave me for a second, my dearest,
because in that moment you'll have gone so far
I'll wander mazily over all the earth, asking,
Will you come back? Will you leave me here, dying?

the city dissolved into horizontal streaks of amber and white. she moved through it, a point of sharp reality in the general blur. her hand rose to her face, a gesture of shielding, or wiping away, or perhaps listening to a voice no one else could hear. the light caught the gold on her wrist, a brief flash in the dark. the reason for the gesture remained her own, a secret carried away into the warm barcelona night.

I guess it is both cliche and cringe to celebrate my birthday via a self portrait. I'm somewhat depressed I've reached this age and yet to accomplish publishing a book or moving on from my retail job for a true creative realm to make money. Then again as long as you're alive you can move towards the thing you love. Blah blah. I need to be positive about stuff more. I know. I'm glad to be alive. I celebrated today with my friend Jasmin and we got sonic and it wasn't that great.
I need to do one of those daily rituals where I think about the things I'm grateful for. I don't need to dissolve in what I'm missing constantly. I need to embrace what I'm content with and does make me happy.
Memo to self for me a year from now. You can still work towards things you want and not dwell in the badness. At least be hopeful.

"Our revels now are ended. These our actors,
As I foretold you, were all spirits, and
Are melted into air, into thin air:
And like the baseless fabric of this vision,
The cloud-capp'd tow'rs, the gorgeous palaces,
The solemn temples, the great globe itself,
Yea, all which it inherit, shall dissolve,
And, like this insubstantial pageant faded,
Leave not a rack behind. We are such stuff
As dreams are made on; and our little life
Is rounded with a sleep."
Shakespeare, The Tempest, Act 4, scene 1, 148–158.

I went evening shooting with Dylan Toh last Thursday. We went to a location on the road from Hafnarfjörður to Bláfjöll. The weather has not been good for photography for a while now but we found this interesting mountain where a curtain of clouds was flowing like a river from the plateau above it down into the lowlands below, where the cloud would dissolve.
When this river of clouds was shoot with long exposure it looked the mountain had a hot on it. Quite interesting to shoot and watch.
I probably have seen this location a few times before in my photostream. This is my summer version of the location. I have it here in Fall and Winter conditions.
I also find it funny that the thumbnail of this image looks like the image had been severely shaken.
I dissolve vitamin C (ascorbic acid) in water and pour a thin layer into a petri dish or on a piece of glass. Within minutes you can watch the crystallisation grow, as the liquid dries. (Check the internet for detailed instructions.) The colors appear when you watch the process under cross-polarized light from underneath.
You can influence the pattern formation through changes in temperature. My pictures show mostly an area of a quarter square inch. My favorite lens is the Canon MP-E 65mm f/2.8 1-5x Macro
Nebbia
(Giovanni Pascoli)
Nascondi le cose lontane,
tu nebbia impalpabile e scialba,
tu fumo che ancora rampolli,
su l'alba,
da' lampi notturni e da' crolli
d'aeree frane!
Nascondi le cose lontane,
nascondimi quello ch'è morto!
Ch'io veda soltanto la siepe
dell'orto,
la mura ch'ha piene le crepe
di valeriane.
Nascondi le cose lontane:
le cose son ebbre di pianto!
Ch'io veda i due peschi, i due meli,
soltanto,
che dànno i soavi lor mieli
pel nero mio pane.
Nascondi le cose lontane
che vogliono ch'ami e che vada!
Ch'io veda là solo quel bianco
di strada,
che un giorno ho da fare tra stanco
don don di campane...
Nascondi le cose lontane,
nascondile, involale al volo
del cuore! Ch'io veda il cipresso
là, solo,
qui, solo quest'orto, cui presso
sonnecchia il mio cane.
This was seen from the air over the white silica sands of Kokota Spit in Northland, north of the Bay of Islands. The river is coloured brown from the tannins dissolved into it from the bark of rotting trees. Tannins give tea its brown colour but I expect the river not to taste as good.
A small series of 3, originally taken in one of the city's oldest public greenhouses. It's always been a place of peace and the source of a LOT of my images. Here the Fractal indeterminacies of nature are contrasted against our human penchant for strict, predictable Euclidean geometries - a big and recurring theme in my work. See, however, what you will !

…find freedom, aliveness, and power not from what contains, locates, or protects us, but from what dissolves, reveals, and expands us.

loosely based on John Green's Looking For Alaska, one of my alltime favorites. at some point everything ends, everything dissolves into nothing, we are all going, at some point we will be all gone.
this is one of the central pieces of the second group exhibition I am part of which opened today :) I'll forever appreicate the many kind words of both family and friends and strangers about my photos and I'll forever be thankful for the incredible encouragement and support. I think it's time again to say a huge thank you to everyone of you as well. flickr and it's incredible members will always be in my heart :)
