Sublime Essay.
Modo dicitur infinitum dissimilium partium aquae demonstrationes immobilem intermedia absurdas rationes animadverti mutationes,
попередні аргументи вниз напрямки труднощі регіони необхідні пересування довільні місця розумні позиції особливих величин чіткі лінії,
le divisioni percepiscono modi diversi di ostacolare le distinzioni che possiedono conseguenze che ruotano i sistemi all'interno delle parti simultanee del confine,
la légèreté infinie suppose que les masses tiennent grandes les grands poids proportionnels du raisonnement proportions inverses temps égal temps continuellement décroissant,
vernietigbare referenties toegepaste woorden predikeren moeilijkheden evenredige afmetingen maximale toepassingen mogelijke kwantiteit overwegingen,
発言位置の確認は世界の高度な制限障害アカウントセンターは自然な場所で異議を唱えます無関心な四肢は作家の重い事実を想定重い事実.

Thirteenth in the series ‘Wild Bonsai’, this tree is forty-eight inches (1.2m) in height and perhaps 1000 years old.
'Wild Bonsai' is a numbered collection of photos of naturally occurring bristlecones (p. longaeva) generally less than five feet in height (158cm) and - as nearly as I can estimate - between fifty and five-hundred years old - some much older. Most will have sprouted and survived in tiny cracks and crevases or miniature basins of sand and gravel. Shaped by the elements, flourishing tenaciously in the most minimalist of conditions, their lives are measured not in the millennia of more robust bristlecones, but in centuries...often mere decades.
'Duality', the cover photo for this album, is to me a matriarch of sorts and will remain unnumbered as a small token of a deeply intuitive and unapologetic respect that remains as transcendent and mysterious to me as it may seem odd to others. The essay that accompanies 'Duality' could, in many ways, apply as well to any other tree I may post in this series.
A perspective: Housed in the Tokyo Imperial Palace, the fifth oldest living cultivated bonsai in the world is something over 500 years old and is a designated National Treasure of Japan.

A thoughtful gift given to us by some houseguests from abroad. Brought them outside to take a picture and immediately attracted a pollinating insect. (It’s not a bee.)
Featured in my photo essay “Flora in Focus.”
I'm still making my images using an old and simple 2009 version of photo manager software produced by ACDSee. And during the last two decades I've used it to produce 37,538 original image variations, only 4589 of which appear on Flickr - the rest sit on my hard-drive and now serve as an almost endless source of raw material for new abstracts. Not sure what to do about using AI to produce artwork. This old guy may just continue to use his 2009 copy of ACDSee. Cheers. H

This image shows Glasgow's weather in characteristic form to complete my west coast photo essay. As with the first of these images ( flic.kr/p/2qBbvJc ), this shot captures the essence of this station for me: in Glasgow’s case, busy, populated with exotic trains (from the perspective of a Sassenach), and raining!
The date is Wednesday, 28th March 1984 and an APT set waits to head south on what is likely to be the 0900 relief to Euston. The crowd of gentlemen striding towards the ticket barriers, many of who are lacking in appropriate outdoor attire, are presumably not railway enthusiasts given their lack of interest in the future of travel nor the distinctly Scottish class 27 to the left of the frame.
Unlike London Euston, Glasgow Central still has the grandeur and heritage of the Victorian era. While Euston’s period pieces were swept away in the white heat of 1960s progress, Glasgow Central has been sympathetically restored and, despite the rain, feels like a hospitable station appropriate for a great city.
Glasgow Central was not the original station for the west coast route in the city. The Caledonian Railway originally used the Townhead terminus, 1.5 miles to the northeast, then in November 1849, the new station of Buchanan Street was used. Growth led to the opening of Glasgow Central in 1879, immediately north of the river Clyde that the railway follows for the last 45 miles of its journey from London.
I trust that those that have followed my photo essay have enjoyed the ride. The west coast route is so varied and so long that it has been very easy to find disparate images from my collection. Selecting images for this essay has been challenging: I have been shooting trains on the route since the 1980s, and in the 21st century I still manage perhaps 30-40 images of the line every year. Furthermore, since I started collecting other photographer's images, it seems that the line was popular for others too!

it has been over 30 years since I had to write an academic essay, to say it's not going well might be an understatement.
Raw + ACR + texture

PHOTO ESSAY: HAKONE
At the start of this year when Graham’s 318 Coffee House in Geneva reopened after major renovations I popped in to tell the owner Bob how much I admired the new look. I mentioned that I especially enjoyed the meandering path that leads to the front door. I wondered aloud if it was deliberately made with such tight curves in order to slow folks down, as in some Japanese garden designs where paths can sometimes take an unexpected or abrupt turn in an effort to slow down the walker and make them more conscious of their surroundings. Bob replied that while that’s a beautiful principle that he was unfamiliar with, the real reason for the tight meander here is more functional: should the path from the sidewalk to the front door be a straight line, it would be too steep a grade for wheelchairs to make. I found this an interesting example of how our manufactured surroundings are a vibrant mix of both the aesthetic and the practical.
Trying makes me look constipated. Or something.
Don’t take yourself so seriously. No one else does.
Essayer de faire la moue me donne l'air constipé. Ou quelque chose.
Ne vous prenez pas trop au sérieux. Personne d'autre ne le fait.

Objet: URGENT ALERTE MÉTÉO : FERMETURE DES CENTRES DE VACCINATION VENDREDI ET SAMEDI
ATTENTION Message urgent très signalé
compte tenu de l'alerte MÉTÉO ORANGE POUR NEIGE ET VERGLAS
le préfet de l'Isère décide la fermeture de tous les centres de vaccination demain vendredi 8 janvier et samedi 9 janvier
Bulletin météo :
Début de l’évènement neigeux : jeudi 7 janvier en soirée
Fin de l’événement prévu : dimanche 10 janvier
Episode neigeux de nature à engendrer des difficultés de circulation et à perturber certaines activités économiques. Cet événement qui commencera en soirée se poursuivra demain vendredi et devrait se terminer dimanche. Vendredi les chutes de neige se prolongent toute la journée.
Pour vendredi on attend environ 10 cm en plaine ( voire 30 cm localement - exemple les Terres Froides) et 20 cm en montagne. Le Nord Isère et les Préalpes pourraient cumulés jusqu’à 30 à 40 cm d’ici dimanche....Vent de nord et congères
Conséquences possibles : Les conditions de circulation sont susceptibles de devenir rapidement très difficiles sur l’ensemble du réseau routier. Les risques d’accident sont accrus du fait de la neige et de possible verglas.
Bref, on ne va pas inciter nos concitoyens à sortir pour aller se faire vacciner.
La préfecture diffuse un communiqué de presse et essaye d'informer toutes les personnels prévus vendredi et samedi.
Consignes aux chefs de centre :
Afficher la fermeture,
informer la mairie,
informer les personnels présents aujourd'hui
Enfin le calendrier des ouvertures pour la semaine prochaine sera diffusé demain.
