Expanding Three-dimensional Existence in Transforming Space - Flattening 3 Colors and 9 Blurred Colors
The space is filled with spheres of light. People move through the spheres and enter the space. When the spheres change color, the space itself shifts between a collection of spheres forming a three-dimensional space and a flat color wall.
When people move through or push them, the spheres change color, and emit a tone specific to that color. The surrounding spheres respond one after another, resonating and emitting the same tone and light color.
Wherever the sphere is, the behavior of light is maintained across the whole of the space (a three-dimensional image in which one sphere is regarded as one dot). Therefore, the light behaves as a group and can be thought of as one three-dimensional existing space. At this time, the light spreads spherically around the impacted sphere.
Since the spheres are freely positioned within the collection of sphere elements that make up the three-dimensional space, people recognize it as existing three-dimensionally and part the spheres entering into the three-dimensional existing space.
The shape of the space is determined by the collection of spheres and changes according to people’s actions (pushing or colliding).
Before the modern era in Japan, complex colors born from the characteristics of silk were given names evocative of the four seasons. Such colors were called Kasane no Irome (nuances of layered colors), and were created by the combination of the lining and exterior fabric (silk was thin at the time so the color of the lining showed through the exterior fabric), gradations from overlapping colors, and blending of warp and weft. Since the sphere colors are produced by light, it is possible to create nine blurred colors, (light in water, sunlight on water plants, morning glow, morning sky, sky at twilight, peach, plum, iris, spring maple), as well as three colors that flatten the space (blue, red, and green), producing a total of 12 colors.
The First document about the settlement from Fagaras dates back to year 1291. Traces of human life materials found in these parts are much older. The document of 1291, the first attestation of Fagaras was a record in which Ugrinus as a magistrate asked the king to return these lands to the Romanians, recognizing that the Romanians themselves had been in possession of the great feud. The document itself and the archaeological finds can certainly support the existence of the feudal settlement of Fagaras before 1291.
Along with land cultivation, animal husbandry and handicrafts prevalent throughout the peasant household, in the borough Fagaras developed specialized crafts and commerce. Craftsmen come to organize in guilds. The earliest document of a guild in Fagaras is dated as being from around 1590, when Mary Christierna gave privileges to the shoemaker’s guild. The Tanners Guild experienced the strongest growth, its products reaching fame and a large sale. The Tanners" Street still preserves the memory of this craft.
Behold that world.
A jewel of existence, teeming with life, radiant in its splendor.
Azure oceans flowing across its surface, framed by the lush green of distant lands, all tinted by the ancient hues of the planet's timeless beauty.
A beautiful picture indeed.
Maybe I should wait and contemplate this a little longer.
A century?… or perhaps two more.
No. It matters not.
For in the end, beauty is but a fleeting shadow, and all things must fade to ash.
The very fabric of the universe will crumble to dust, in time.
So why wait? What for? It's just delaying the inevitable.
Enough of this idle reverie.
The moment has come.
This world shall burn and succumb too.
To the frenzy of Midra's flame.

(Rhea pennata) B28I0529 Road El Calafate to El Chalten - Patagonia - Argentina

During the second voyage of HMS Beagle, the young naturalist Charles Darwin made many trips on land, and around August 1833 heard from gauchos in the Río Negro area of Northern Patagonia about the existence of a smaller rhea, "a very rare bird which they called the Avestruz Petise". He continued searching fruitlessly for this bird, and the Beagle sailed south, putting in at Port Desire in southern Patagonia on 23 December. On the following day, Darwin shot a guanaco (similar to a llama) which provided them with a Christmas meal, and in the first days of January, the artist Conrad Martens shot a rhea which they enjoyed eating before Darwin realised that this was the elusive smaller rhea rather than a juvenile, and preserved the head, neck, legs, one wing, and many of the larger feathers. As with his other collections, these were sent to John Stevens Henslow in Cambridge. On 26 January the Beagle entered the Straits of Magellan, and at St Gregory's Bay Darwin met Patagonians he described as "excellent practical naturalists". A half Indian, who had been born in the Northern Provinces, told him that the smaller rheas were the only species this far south, while the larger rheas kept to the north. On an expedition up the Santa Cruz River, they saw several of the smaller rheas, which were too wary to be approached closely or caught.
In 1837, Darwin's rhea was described as Rhea darwinii (later synonymized with R. pennata) by the ornithologist John Gould in a presentation to the Zoological Society of London, in which he was followed by Darwin reading a paper on the eggs and distribution of the two species of rheas.
When Gould classified Darwin's rhea and the greater rhea as separate species, he confirmed a serious problem for Darwin. These birds mainly live in different parts of Patagonia, but there is also an overlapping zone where the two species coexist. As every living being had been created in a fixed form, as accepted by the science of his time, they could only change their appearance by a perfect adaptation to their way of life, but would still be the same species. But now he had to deal with two different species. This started to form his idea that species were not fixed at all, but that another mechanism might be at work.
Au cours du deuxième voyage du HMS Beagle, le jeune naturaliste Charles Darwin effectua de nombreux voyages à terre et, vers août 1833, il entendit des gauchos de la région de Río Negro, dans le nord de la Patagonie, parler de l'existence d'un nandou plus petit, « un oiseau très rare qu'ils appelaient l'Avestruz Petise". Il a continué à chercher cet oiseau en vain et le Beagle a navigué vers le sud et a fait escale à Port Désir, dans le sud de la Patagonie, le 23 décembre. Le lendemain, Darwin a photographié un guanaco (semblable à un lama) qui leur a fourni un repas de Noël, et dans les premiers jours de janvier, l'artiste Conrad Martens a photographié un nandou qu'ils aimaient manger avant que Darwin ne se rende compte que c'était l'insaisissable un nandou plus petit qu'un juvénile, et a conservé la tête, le cou, les pattes, une aile et la plupart des plus grandes plumes. Comme pour ses autres collections, celles-ci ont été envoyées à John Stevens Henslow à Cambridge. Le 26 janvier, le Beagle entra dans le détroit de Magellan et, à St Gregory's Bay, Darwin rencontra des Patagoniens qu'il décrivait comme « d'excellents naturalistes pratiques ». Un demi-Indien, né dans les provinces du Nord, lui dit que les petits nandous étaient les seules espèces aussi loin au sud, tandis que les plus gros nandous restaient au nord. Lors d'une expédition sur la rivière Santa Cruz, ils ont aperçu plusieurs nandous plus petits, trop méfiants pour être approchés de près ou capturés.
En 1837, le nandou de Darwin a été décrit comme Rhea darwinii (plus tard synonyme de R. pennata) par l'ornithologue John Gould dans une présentation à la Zoological Society of London, dans laquelle il a été suivi par Darwin lisant un article sur les œufs et la distribution des deux espèces de nandous.
Lorsque Gould a classé le nandou de Darwin et le nandou majeur comme espèces distinctes, il a confirmé qu'il s'agissait d'un problème sérieux pour Darwin. Ces oiseaux vivent principalement dans différentes parties de la Patagonie, mais il existe également une zone de chevauchement où coexistent les deux espèces. Comme tout être vivant avait été créé sous une forme fixe, comme l'admettait la science de son temps, ils ne pourraient changer d'apparence que par une parfaite adaptation à leur mode de vie, mais seraient toujours la même espèce. Mais maintenant, il devait faire face à deux espèces différentes. Cela a commencé à lui donner l’idée que les espèces n’étaient pas du tout fixées, mais qu’un autre mécanisme pourrait être à l’œuvre.
Sakharibazar, Old Dhaka, 2011
Normal people with extraordinary lifestyles
Along with smile and the gloomy, here life has its own rhyme, has its own colour.
Time passed by, humanity changed along with its history...
But these people remained here tolerating the hardest truth of existences
..........its their story of extraordinary existences.
Sakharibazar, Old Dhaka. A very interesting place for all of us to visit. Culture and customs of old Dhaka are the tribute to the ancient history of Bangladesh. Peoples still living in 100 years old building from generations after generations. With the reflection of their religious beauty Old Dhaka attracts peoples from here and abroad.
Shakhari Bazaar is one of the oldest mohallas (a traditional neighbourhood) in Puran Dhaka (Old Dhaka), located near the intersection of Islampur Road and Nawabpur Road;the two main arteries of the old city and only a block away from the Buriganga River. Shakhari Bazaar stretches along a narrow lane, lined with thin slices of richly decorated brick buildings, built during the late Mughal or Colonial period. Despite rampant modifications, accretion, extension over time, even redevelopment, many still bear the testimony of a rich tradition.
Shakhari Bazaar is the manifestation of the irrational policies, lack of adequate development control rules and distorted legal framework, all of which have left their indelible mark on this precious little mohalla that shares a long history of more than 400 years with Dhaka city itself.The history of Shakhari Bazaar goes back to the pre-Mughal days if not earlier. The first mention of Puran Dhaka can be found in the writings of Mirza Nathan, the general turned historian, who traveled with Subahdar Islam Khan. He mentioned Puran Dhaka, as the area between Dholai Khal and Buriganga river covering Shakhari Bazaar, Tanti Bazaar, Bangla Bazaar, Lakhsmi Bazaar, Bangla Bazaar, Kamar Nagar, Sutar Nagar, Goala Nagar, etc. Each mohalla belonged to separate communities depending on their craft and trade. The influences of the Mughal vocabulary in the planning of the spaces are literally evident in the use of Persian names to identify different spaces..
St Michael’s Church
Situated in St. Michael’s Alley, Cornhill, London, EC3V 9DS
St Michael’s is a medieval church with pre-Norman Conquest foundation. It is believed that the church was in existence in the early 1130’s. However the medieval part was lost in the Great Fire of London (apart from the tower) and replaced with what is now the present building.
Some early history shows that the church was in possession of the Abbot and convent of Evesham until 1503 when it was settled on to the Drapers Company. A new tower was built in 1421. There were lodging for the choristers which were maintained by Sir John Rudstone, unfortunately these fell into decay after his death in 1530.
Some early folklore tells a story of an apparition ‘an ugly misshapen sight’ which appeared when the bell ringers were ringing in a storm. This caused them to faint, they later discovered scratch marks in the masonry. These became the ‘Devil’s Clawmarks’.
According to the Monuments of London (City), Sir Christopher Wren had the church completely rebuilt after the Great Fire at the cost of £4,686.10s,with the exception of the tower which was restored. In 1721 Wren also replaced the tower. Sir Nicolas Hawksmoor completed the upper stages of the tower.
More repairs in 1790. The church then went through further restoration work under Sir George Gilbert Scott in 1860. More work took place in 1868.
There many things to see inside St Michael’s, the reredos (altar screen) representing Aaron and Moses was painted by Robert Streater. Decoration over the main porch was by John Birnie Philip ‘St Michael disputing with Satan. Many of the columns are adorned with angels.
Stained glass by Clayton and Bell was installed. The Representation of Christ in the large circular East window to be admired. The organ originally built by Renatus Harris in 1684 but much altered and enlarged, last restoration 2011.
There is a First World War memorial outside the church, a statue of St Michael by Richard Reginald Goulden.
Fortunately the church escaped damage in WWII, it was designated Grade 1 listing in 1950. In 1960 the Victorian paintwork was replaced by a more subdued scheme of Gold, Blue and White. In 2011 a new set of 12 bells were installed in the tower cast by Taylors of Loughborough.
Look at the trees, look at the birds, look at the clouds, look at the stars... and if you have eyes you will be able to see that the whole existence is joyful. : Osho
I thank you God for this most amazing day...
Last night while watching The Handmaid's Tale, I was struck (blown away, actually) by the cinematographic image of June walking up the spiral staircase at the Waterford home in blue tones--the only contrast being the lamp at the top of the stairs, and June's handmaid dress and white cap. So I tried to capture it on pause, but was unable to pause without the pause indicators obstructing the screen image. This was the next best thing I could manage (hence the movement blur of June walking up the stairs). It was so evocative, I just had to try to capture it!
The picture is a story of fishing on the seashore. The fishermen keep getting the net and after a long time drag the net to the shore. It is a very difficult task which can be understood through the eyes of the fishermen. After working so hard, their joy knows no bounds when they get a lot of fish. Their struggle for existence continued for years. I tried to capture their hard work on my camera.
