The Arashiyama area in western Kyoto along the banks of the Katsura River is famous for its cherry blossoms in spring and its glorious autumn foliage. Until this month, a less popular attraction had been the gardens of Hogonin Temple, a sub-temple of Tenryuji Zen Temple — largely because they had been closed to the general public for 140 years.
The gardens, known as Shishiku-no-niwa, are believed to be at least 600 years old and were created during the Muromachi Period (1338-1573) by Sakugen Shuryo, a Zen priest and garden designer who was a disciple of another, more famous Zen priest, called Musou Kokushi (aka Soseki). During the Edo Period (1603-1867) the gardens were well known and are mentioned in “Miyako-rinsen Meisho Zukan (Guidebook to the Gardens of Miyako [the former name of Kyoto])” by Ogawa Tazaemon, published in 1799. As part of a long and careful process of restoration, just now a teahouse near the entrance is being repaired by carpenters, and in time the entrance gatehouse will also be repaired.
The 8,000 sq.-meter gardens — whose name roughly translates as Spirit of Buddha Garden — showcase nature in a natural setting, and the atmosphere of this wooded area designed for strolling is profoundly tranquil. Iroha-momiji (Japanese maple; Acer palmatum) grow here in large numbers and Tawara Gisen, the head priest, said that many of them are self-sown seedlings. And indeed, the ground is littered with maple seedlings, which Tawara said he will soon put in small pots and give to visitors free of charge.
Another attractive feature of Shishiku-no-niwa are the colossal rocks that dot the garden. These rocks were not positioned by the garden’s designers; instead the garden was made around them. Long ago, when the river’s waters were higher, the softer stone was gradually eroded so that, when the water level fell, these impressive rocks were high and dry.
Elsewhere, the woodland floor is covered with various species of moss, the most common being oosugikoke (hair moss; Selaginella remotifolia). In the middle of the garden there is an akamatsu (Japanese red pine; Pinus densiflora) growing out of a rock which, over the centuries, has been split by its roots.
Growing on this rock is a hitotsuba (tongue fern; Pyrrosia lingua). Also known as Japanese felt fern, this is a creeping, evergreen epiphytic variety that spreads by rhizomes. The simple strap-shaped upright fronds have a leathery texture and are around 30 cm long and 5 cm across, with rust-colored spores growing on the underside. There are numerous cultivars of this variety, which is native to China, Taiwan and Japan, and some have cristate or contorted fronds.
Throughout the garden, considerable effort has been made to erect traditional-style bamboo fences. One of these styles, known as takeho-gaki (bamboo-branch fence), is made from branches of bamboo packed tightly together. Further examples can be seen in the Sagano area of Kyoto behind Tenryuji Temple.
There is also a hanging bamboo gate. Known in Japanese as shiorido (bent-branch door) or agesudo, this uses strips of bamboo woven into a diamond pattern. The gate is suspended from stout oak branches. Though not very common, this style of gate is used in tea-ceremony gardens. The niwashi (gardeners) who are presently restoring the gardens also constructed an unusual bamboo fence they call a Hougan-gaki in honor of a priest adept at bamboo-work.
Both the Hogonin and Tenryuji temples were burned to the ground in 1877 by die-hard Satsuma soldiers from southern Kyushu who were opposed to the new government in Tokyo. Hence the hondo (main building) of Hogonin Temple dates back to early in the Taisho Era (1912-26). Visitors can enter this building and sip Japanese tea while admiring the trees in the garden. At this time of the year the vivid green color of the new leaves is known as shinryoku.
The gardens will remain open until May 31 and will then reopen from October until early December. Aside from the autumn leaf colors, visitors in fall will also be able to see fine shows of susuki (eulalia; Miscanthus sinensis) and hagi (bush clover; Lespedeza thunbergii). Next year the gardens will again also open in spring and autumn.
As an added incentive to visit, by pre-arrangement small parties can be held in the teahouse in the garden, with food delivered from nearby restaurants.

Powers: Electro-kinesis (power over lightning/electricity), ability to travel as a bolt of lightening, create storm clouds.
Weaknesses: Water, vanity
Catchphrase: "I am the storm, the swirling sky terror. I am, Nexus!"

There is anger within the entities voice as she spoke through the tiny witch he held in his arms. "She's ours! Long before you laid claim to her, the blood in her veins calls to us. It is her soul, her blood, her body. It is mine, ours, theirs," a hiss of anger leaves her lips as she speaks. It is an abomination of a bond that ties the man to the witch, forged within the swamps of a hidden Bayou. They had called to her first, but the Oracle had staked claim and they were angry, and they were seeking blood, and retribution.
Three iconic railroad entities in the West meet up in the Apache's yard. The crew had an easy day set up with only 3 inbound cars and 13 to go back with them. However the BNSF X-FTXHOL from Friona, TX showed up to drop off 109 empties for cleaning about 5 minutes before they did.
After some quick conversation, a plan was put together to unplug the yard. The APA stuck their 3 inbound cars into the depot track, then ran down 3 track to pickup their 12 tank and feed cars. The BNSF filled track 2 with hoppers until the DP's were in the clear, seen here, then set the rest of the headend over onto track 3. The APA had to do a quick shuffle to get the tanks together and the feed cars together, and used track 1 to do that. A perfect spot of the ATSF hopper on track 1 allowed this shot when they came back over to 3 with some tanks. After the tanks were secured on 3, they grabbed the 5 hoppers off of 1 and pulled forward onto the connection to hang the EOT and do the air test. With track 1 open, the single BNSF motor came back down to pick up the 2 DPU's and prepare for a light engine move onto Winslow. The APA left the tanks as the car they had planned to use as a buffer was now on the wrong side of the power in the depot track and they were unable to run around it.

A lot of inspiration went into this design. The accessories are the result of a blend of the art style from 'The Emperor's New Groove' (of all things) and the unique sculptures of Arnaldo Pomodoro. Also very inspired by Tino Poutiainen's moc - Mictlantecuhtli.
If you're wondering about the snake piece's connection to the leg, it's secured by wrapping the chain tightly around the leg, forcing the snake's tongue towards the kneecap and locking it in place.
The cameleon pieces are attached to the neck accessory by slotting a microfig inbetween the gap of their legs and the hose pieces rest with the bar handles holding them in place.
Hope you like it!

Klostrons - The Ancient Island Tombs by Daniel Arrhakis (2024)
The time of God Kings and Goddess Queens, a dark past ruled by despotic and immortal entities who were defeated by the first guardian monks, founders of the five main mystical orders of Krudhyn.
As they were immortal, the ancients discovered a way to contain them in tombs of rock and metal that were built on islands off the coast. There are many throughout the seas of Krudhyn, like petrified chrysalises awaiting resurrection one day.
The Krysodhs or Klostrons are thus great rocky tombs that can never be opened, despite rumors and attempts by some orders to resurrect the old Empire of the Immortals ...

One of the keys to shooting Epic Landscape Photgraphy is exalting the photograph's soul via golden ratio compositions, thusly wedding the art to the divine proportion by which life itself was designed and exalted.

Greetings flickr friends! I am working on several books on "epic photography," and I recently finished a related one titled: The Golden Number Ratio Principle: Why the Fibonacci Numbers Exalt Beauty and How to Create PHI Compositions in Art, Design, & Photography: An Artistic and Scientific Introduction to the Golden Mean . Message me on facebook for a free review copy!
www.facebook.com/goldennumberratio/
The Golden Ratio also informs the design of the golden revolver on all the swimsuits and lingerie, as well as the 45surf logo!
The Golden Number Ratio Principle: Dr. E’s Golden Ratio Principle: The golden ratio exalts beauty because the number is a characteristic of the mathematically and physically most efficient manners of growth and distribution, on both evolutionary and purely physical levels. The golden ratio ensures that the proportions and structure of that which came before provide the proportions and structure of that which comes after. Robust, ordered growth is naturally associated with health and beauty, and thus we evolved to perceive the golden ratio harmonies as inherently beautiful, as we saw and felt their presence in all vital growth and life—in the salient features and proportions of humans and nature alike, from the distribution of our facial features and bones to the arrangements of petals, leaves, and sunflowers seeds. As ratios between Fibonacci Numbers offer the closest whole-number approximations to the golden ratio, and as seeds, cells, leaves, bones, and other physical entities appear in whole numbers, the Fibonacci Numbers oft appear in nature’s elements as “growth’s numbers.” From the dawn of time, humanity sought to salute their gods in art and temples exalting the same proportion by which all their vital sustenance and they themselves had been created—the golden ratio.
Ansel Adams is not only my favorite photographer, but he is one of the greatest photographers and artists of all time. And just like great artists including Michelangelo, Monet, Degas, Renoir, Leonardo da Vinci, Vermeer, Rembrandt, Botticelli, and Picasso, Ansel used the golden ratio and divine proportions in his epic art.
Not so long ago I discovered golden regions in many of his famous public domain his 8x10 aspect ratio photographs. I call these golden harmony regions "regions of golden action" or "ROGA"S, as seen here:

And too, I created some videos highlighting Ansel's use of the golden harmonies. Enjoy!

The city at night is a symphony of lights and sounds. A living, breathing entity that comes alive under the cloak of darkness.
For Joe Cool, riding his motorcycle with Woodstock through those streets is an exhilarating experience. Each turn, each throttle is a dance with the urban landscape.
Joe Cool revs the engine, the motorcycle roars in response, its sound echoing off the tall buildings that line the streets.
The air is cool and crisp, carrying with it the faint scent of rain from earlier in the evening. The asphalt glistens under the streetlights, reflecting the myriad colors of the city’s neon signs.
Joe Cool weaves through the traffic, a blur of motion amidst the dazzling array of lights. Above, the streetlights cast a warm, golden glow, their light pooling on the pavement like liquid gold.
The city is alive with sound. The hum of engines, the distant wail of sirens, the chatter of people on the sidewalks – all blend together into a cacophony that is uniquely urban.
Joe Cool smiles. The wind rushes past his helmet, a constant, soothing presence that mingles with the noise of the city. It’s just his bike and the road, a solitary journey through the heart of the metropolis.
Neon signs flash by in a riot of colors – electric blues, vibrant pinks, and fiery reds. They advertise everything from late-night diners to 24-hour convenience stores, their lights flickering and dancing in the night.
The buildings themselves are a mix of old and new, their facades illuminated by the glow of the city. Some are sleek and modern, all glass and steel, while others are older, their brick walls covered in ivy and graffiti. Pizza parlors, root beer shacks, French bistros... all his favorite haunts.
Joe Cool passes the parks and plazas, their trees and benches bathed in the soft light of the streetlamps. The occasional pedestrian crosses his path, their faces briefly illuminated by the headlight of his powerful motorcycle. They are shadows in the night, fleeting glimpses of the city’s inhabitants.
As Joe Cool continues his ride, he feels a sense of freedom that is hard to find in the hustle and bustle of daily life. The city at night is a different world, one where time seems to slow down and the worries of the day fade away. It’s a place of endless possibilities, where every turn could lead to a new adventure.
The road stretches out before him, a ribbon of asphalt that winds its way through the city. He follows it, his motorcycle a faithful companion on this nocturnal journey, just as his faithful passenger.
The lights of the city guides him, their glow a constant reminder of the life that pulses through the streets.
In this moment, Joe Cool becomes part of the city, a single thread in the vast tapestry of urban life. The night is his, a canvas painted with the lights and sounds of the metropolis.
Ride, Joe Cool. Ride.

NOS from the 90's.
Another of our favorite vendors from our days of our collectibles store is Westland Giftware. They had the loveliest line of Peanuts offerings.
I don't know if Westland is still in business but these figurines are a great legacy for them.
When all of the Peanuts figurines are lined up in a nice display it's truly amazing from their large ornate sculpts to their smaller figurines like today's figurine of Joe Cool On Motorcycle!
The anti-conscience forces are on the verge and very fierce are energetic forces (Personal Energies, physical and mental. Collective Energies: entities, lobbies, various orders etc.) that try to build apparently perfect and ordered societies (controlled societies: geolocalization, vaccinations etc.). These forces deny diversity, create divisions, forgetting that the external order is not the internal one, the internal one seeks union. These negative forces are always at the service of the ego and not of the spirit that is in all of us, conscious or not.
This is a photo of pooled water and patterns in an outcrop of bedrock at Clam Harbour Beach. The image has been mirrored and copied twice to be symmetrical. The detail is best seen full screen. The patterns inside the diamond shape suggest a pareidolia portrait of some sort of compassionate entity.

The history of Burning Man has always been a complex entity that has survived, nay, mutated over the years. And because of this, it has grown rapidly since its humble beginnings of a simple gathering on a beach.
The infographic poster shows only a small portion of what Burning Man is. By no means do mere numbers even begin to show a complete picture, as that is a history of stories, experiences, and individual tales.
Alas, data points for 2010 are obviously not included at this time. When the information is announced, that information will be updated.
Yeah, you're probably going to want to embiggen this: www.flickr.com/photos/xmasons/4841339241/sizes/o/in/photo...
