'' Let us be like
Two falling stars in the day sky.
Let no one know of our sublime beauty
As we hold hands with God
And burn
Into a sacred existence that defies -
That surpasses
Every description of ecstasy
And love. '' ♥ Hafiz
We take it for granted and for the most part are oblivious to the landscape around us in which we exist.
New Topographics image making is "primarily concerned with relationships of land to culture and the particularities of social existence" as it relates to the landscape. pg. 40, New Topographics: Photographs of a Man-Altered Landscape 1975

ACHERON I est une installation dans l’eau à travers laquelle Renato Nicolodi suggère l’existence d’une connexion entre la société actuelle et le royaume des enfers de la mythologie grecque. Selon cette dernière, l’Achéron – dérivé du mot achos – est le « fleuve de la souffrance ». Il représente le passage vers les enfers, là où les âmes des morts effectuent la traversée en compagnie du passeur Charon. L’Achéron est également un fleuve, bien réel celui-là, du nord-ouest de la Grèce, dont le parcours est en partie souterrain. Peut-être ce phénomène naturel est-il à l’origine du mythe. À Bruges, l’œuvre d’art de Nicolodi matérialise ce passage reliant la vie et la mort. La surface de l’eau fait office de frontière. La sculpture devient un port et une porte entre le présent, l’avenir et le passé.
ACHERON I is an installation in the water through which Renato Nicolodi suggests the existence of a connection between the present society and the Hellenic kingdom of Greek mythology. According to the latter, the Acheron - derived from the word achos - is the "river of suffering". It represents the passage to hell, where the souls of the dead make the crossing with the Charon passer. Acheron is also a river, very real that one, of the north-west of Greece, whose route is partly underground. Perhaps this natural phenomenon is at the origin of the myth. In Bruges, Nicolodi's work of art materializes this passage linking life and death. The surface of the water acts as a border. The sculpture becomes a port and a door between the present, the future and the past.
A bit late in posting these :) but our campsite from this year's Relay for Life of Second Life! ♥

I always feel like I am just not doing enough in this world. It's impossible to not see the headlines, the seemingly inevitably race to the end, the constant turmoil. But, if I was this cat, I might only see sunshine and feel the bliss of daily existence. I wonder what that might actually be like not feeling like you've been through a car wreck every day.
I used to have more energy for everyday moments...or at least I think I did.

So remote that I can't remember exactly where this is! I think that it is probably in Lunedale on the B6276 between Brough and Middleton-in-Teesdale, but I could easily be wrong!
It was certainly wild countryside even on a relatively nice day of sunshine and showers. It must be so bleak in the depths of winter.
NO INVITES and GRAPHICS please!!! I appreciate and would really be happy to see your personal comments :) THANK YOU SO MUCH!

“For all of us who are alive, life is the real issue.
Yet so often we judge our existence by the things that
happen to us—by whether things are going our way or not.
Sometimes we feel strong—strong enough to dictate our future.
Sometimes we feel that we can make things happen.
Then there are times when we feel totally helpless.
But through all the dramas and bumps, there is life.
There is the very powerful, very existence of every
single human being”

Have a GREAT life my FRIENDS!!!
Wavelengths of light exist outside our brains, but colors are subjective mental phenomena that depend on our visual systems.
The easiest way to realize this is to consider how televisions and other displays create the subjective experience of color. They use red, green and blue light (meaning light with the corresponding wavelengths). With these 3 wavelengths, a television can be used to create any color imaginable.
Consider how red light and green light can be combined to create yellow light. This has nothing to do with physics. The two types of light wave do not in any sense "mix", except at the retina.
The retina is not the whole story, however. The neuroscience of color vision is complex, and only partially understood. The famous image of the blue-and-black / white-and-gold dress illustrates this. Some people can voluntarily switch between the two percepts. This implies that the retina is not the only part of the visual system that is involved in color vision. Voluntary control is generally assumed to act at higher levels of the visual hierarchy.
