Fully formed ideas,

Pop in my head at random;

Hens and Chickens sigh.

 

1 - pavement - hangin' on...

2 - a shadow (non-human) - won't let go...

3 - title from a Dylan song - Solid Rock.

 

Side note: Whew! These Iron Photographer pieces really push you. I hope the shadow is shadowy enough to pass the muster.

 

A big warm "thank you!" to CherylHarrison for helping me choose the title. It's rockin' - and she really is a good idea!

Taken in Oceania

(September — December 2018)

 

The year is 1768, and Britain is in the throes of the Age of Enlightenment. As a group of artists agrees to found the Royal Academy, Captain James Cook sets sail on a voyage of discovery to track the transit of Venus and search for terra australis incognita – the unknown southern continent, as Europeans called it. What Cook and his crew encounter on arrival is a vast number of island civilisations covering almost a third of the world’s surface: from Tahiti in Polynesia, to the scattered archipelagos and islands of Melanesia and Micronesia.

The indigenous populations they met came with their own histories of inter-island trade, ocean navigation, and social and artistic traditions. This spectacular exhibition reveals these narratives – celebrating the original, raw and powerful art that in time would resonate across the European artistic sphere.

Oceania brings together around 200 exceptional works from public collections worldwide, and spans over 500 years. From shell, greenstone and ceramic ornaments, to huge canoes and stunning god images, we explore important themes of voyaging, place making and encounter. The exhibition draws from rich historic ethnographic collections dating from the 18th century to the present, and includes seminal works produced by contemporary artists exploring history, identity and climate change.

Long overdue, but the Tobey MacGuire Spiderman has finally graced my shelves in the form of his S.H. Figuarts from the No Way Home movie.

 

Lets get the most pressing part out of the way - the MacGuire sculpts. The neutral faced on is passable. I mean it's not great, but it at least resembles the man and is, in all likelihood, probably better than what you're going to get out of Legends. The smiling face is a complete disaster. It doesn't resemble the man, which is bad enough, but also, it just plain looks awkward expression wise.

 

Thank goodness this isn't Scarlett Johansson or else I'd lose my mind right about now.

 

As for the actual Spidey itself, well this is my first of such a character. t's not my first Figuart, naturally, but I can see that this version of the body trades off aesthetics for articulation, but at the same time keeping the aesthetics of the suit in place. The hip and thigh cuts are really the only awkward looking parts, undoubtedly inspired by their Dragonball work. Head, unfortunately, doesn't tilt very well.

 

This isn't to the desire of everyone, and I get that. I guess it's best to say this was a compromise of form and function. It would have been nice to have this figure reach Revoltech levels of posing, but at the same time the MacGuire character wasn't exactly known for being the most limber either.

 

The suit itself I'd say was recreated quite well, with great textures and of course the appropriate lenses, Spider symbols and a relatively stocky build, which is accurate to the character. If the Garfield version is ever released, I will have to see if they made his body a bit more slender.

 

The webbing effects are two part. There's short, medium and long. The short and medium ones attach to the wrist peg whereas the long one actually gets held in the open hand.

 

Clutched mask effect is decent, but it's not one I recall from the movie per se. I mean, if we're dipping into non movie items, it would have been nice to have a battle damaged head sculpt.

 

Overall, I think between the body and the hands, you should be OK for most parts. Additional head tilt range would have been fantastic as it would let you replicate any poses where he's prone, such as wall crawling. Of course, having a freaking stand would have REALLY helped with, well, everything seeing how Spidey spends much of his time in the ar.

The National Botanic Gardens are located in Glasnevin, 5 km north-west of Dublin city centre, Ireland. The 19.5 hectares are situated between Prospect Cemetery and the River Tolka where it forms part of that river's floodplain.

 

The gardens were founded in 1795 by the Dublin Society (later the Royal Dublin Society) and they have grown to hold 20,000 living plants and many millions of dried plant specimens. There are several architecturally notable greenhouses. Today the Glasnevin site is the headquarters of the National Botanic Gardens of Ireland which has a satellite garden at Kilmcurragh in county Wicklow. The botanic garden participates in national and international initiatives for biodiversity conservation and sustainable development. The Director, Dr. Matthew Jebb, is also Chairman of PlantNetwork: The Plant Collections Network of Britain and Ireland.

 

The poet Thomas Tickell owned a house and small estate in Glasnevin and, in 1795, they were sold to the Irish Parliament and given to the Royal Dublin Society for them to establish Ireland's first botanic gardens. A double line of yew trees, known as "Addison's Walk" survives from this period. The original purpose of the gardens had been to advance knowledge of plants for agriculture, medicine and dyeing. The gardens were the first location in Ireland where the infection responsible for the 1845–1847 potato famine was identified. Throughout the famine, research to stop the infection was undertaken at the gardens.

Walter Wade and John Underwood, the first Director and Superintendent respectively, executed the layout of the gardens, but, when Wade died in 1825, they declined for some years. From 1834, Director Ninian Nivan brought new life into the gardens, performing some redesign. This programme of change and development continued with the following Directors into the late 1960s. The gardens were placed into government care in 1877.

 

As well as being a tourist destination and an amenity for nearby residents, it also serves as a centre for horticultural research and training, including the breeding of many prized orchids. The soil at Glasnevin is strongly alkaline (in horticultural terms) and this restricts the cultivation of calcifuge plants such as rhododendrons to specially prepared areas. Nonetheless, the gardens display a range of outdoor "habitats" such as a rockery, herbaceous border, rose garden, bog garden and arboretum. A vegetable garden has also been established.

 

The National Herbarium is also housed at the National Botanic Gardens. The museum collection contains some 20,000 samples of plant products, including fruits, seeds, wood, fibres, plant extracts and artefacts, collected over the garden's two-hundred-year history. The gardens contain noted and historically important collections of orchids. The newly restored Palm House houses many tropical and subtropical plants.

In 2002, a new multistorey complex was built; it includes a cafe and a large lecture theatre.

 

The gardens include some glasshouses of architectural importance, such as the Palm House and the Curvilinear Range.

The Curvilinear Range was completed in 1848 by Richard Turner, an Irish iron-founder and pioneer in the constructional use of wrought iron; it was extended in the late 1860s. This structure, and the nearby Palm House (built 1884), have been restored (using some surplus contemporary structural ironwork from Kew Gardens) and this work attracted the Europa Nostra award for excellence in conservation architecture.

"Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery that mediocrity can pay to greatness." (Oscar Wilde)

 

Lately I have been reading a lot about Daido Moriyama and some other photographers associated with him, and of course I've looked at many pictures. I have known Moriyama's work for a decade or two, but it seems only now these photos are starting to speak to me. Some things need time.

 

I find it fascinating how they work, and it’s interesting to read about the degree of awareness they had of what they were doing. They were really up to date theoretically and somehow worked with that. Well, possibly the 60s, 70s and still part of the 80s were a good time for this, when modernism turned to post-modernism and all kinds of stuff.

 

Maybe it’s anachronistic to mimic a style 60 years old. I mean, we all know that’s long gone for better or worse … but still, I tried.

Doing this has already taught me at least three things that are quite valuable:

 

1.

I consider myself an "advanced" photographer, after doing it for almost 40 years and basically doing nothing else for 25 years now. But in this field I am an absolute beginner. It’s humbling in a good way to see (and to feel) that I don’t know anything about this.

 

2.

It’s surprisingly hard to let go of the "conventional" photographic qualities most of us learned the hard way. Now it feels so strange to make blurry, underexposed, tilted photos. You really need to trick yourself to give up control.

 

3.

This kind of photography seems to be at least as much about "feeling the scene" as "seeing the scene". It’s hard to put in words that are not clichéd, but it’s more seeing with the imagination than with your eyes. It’s another way to approach previsualization, I guess – possibly quite useful for other genres, even if those pictures are not so great.

Sapin baumier

Abies balsamea

Le sapin baumier (Abies balsamea) est une espèce de sapins de la famille des Pinaceae, originaire d'Amérique du Nord. Il atteint 15 à 20 mètres de hauteur et le tronc plus de 60 centimètres de diamètre.

Description morphologique

Cet arbre de forme globalement pyramidale peut atteindre une vingtaine de mètres de hauteur et a une durée de vie de 70 à 150 ans1.

Les cônes de 5 à 10 centimètres se dressent verticalement sur les rameaux. Ils mûrissent en automne et perdent leurs écailles, seul le rachis persiste jusqu'à l'été suivant.

Les aiguilles sont plates,

 

odorantes, avec deux raies blanches en dessous. Les rameaux à l'ombre portent leur aiguilles sur deux rangées horizontales alors que ceux exposés au soleil en ont sur tout le tour de la tige.

L'écorce des jeunes sujets est lisse, d'une couleur tirant sur le gris et elle porte des vésicules contenant de la résine, dont on tire la gomme de sapin ou baume du Canada.

Répartition et habitat

Cette espèce est originaire d’Amérique du Nord (nord-est des États-Unis, centre et est du Canada) mais a été introduite sur d’autres continents.

Ce conifère a besoin d'un bon ensoleillement pour prospérer ; on le trouve donc plutôt en bordure de forêt, dans les trouées ou en seconde pousse, après les bouleaux et trembles dans les zones forestières incendiées, détruites et les champs abandonnés…Il tolère l'ombre légère et peut rester longtemps en sous-étage pour pousser rapidement suite à une ouverture du couvert forestier. Il envahit souvent les érablières abandonnées qui étaient maintenues artificiellement par la coupe des autres essences forestières, ainsi que les forêts dégradées. Il pousse, dans ses régions d’origine, entre le niveau de la mer et une altitude de 1700 m2.

C'est dans la province canadienne du Québec que le sapin baumier atteint sa latitude la plus septentrionale, atteignant dans l'Ungava la latitude N. 58°. Il s'accommode de presque tous les habitats, mais il préfère un climat froid et un sol constamment humide.

Rôle écologique

Par son rôle de brise-vent, cet arbre permet l'existence de microclimats qui favorisent l'implantation de la faune1.

Les graines sont un aliment utile en hiver pour la gélinotte huppée ainsi que pour d'autres oiseaux et petits mammifères. L'élan trouve lui aussi en hiver une source de nourriture dans son feuillage1.

C'est de plus l'essence préférée d'un ravageur, la tordeuse des bourgeons de l'épinette (Choristoneura fumiferana)1, et l'hôte habituel du champignon Melampsorella caryophyllacearum, qui cause la maladie du balai de sorcière.

Usages par l'humain

La gomme de ce sapin est une oléorésine utilisée en optique et en pharmacie sous le nom de « baume du Canada3,4,5,6. » On l'a parfois pris pour l'annedda, parce qu'on parle à son sujet de « thé de sapin » ; mais l'« arbre de vie » qui sauva l'équipage de Jacques Cartier d'une épidémie de scorbut est, selon Rollet7, la Pruche du Canada.

Les aiguilles sont parfois infusées pour en faire une tisane.

Le bois est utilisé pour la fabrication de papier et de bois de charpente. Les sapins baumiers servent aussi d'arbres de Noël parce qu'une fois l'arbre coupé, les aiguilles tiennent mieux que celles des épicéas.

Les sapins baumiers sont peu employés en aménagement paysager. L'arbre est peu résistant aux conditions urbaine, est sensible à divers maladies et insectes, devient souvent creux à l'âge adulte et casse donc facilement. Les épinettes sont plus résistantes et vieillissent mieux. Il existe de beaux cultivars nains et pleureurs de sapins baumiers chez les pépiniéristes

Le sapin baumier est l'emblème du Nouveau-Brunswick1.

Ethnobotanique amérindienne

Les Amérindiens l'utilisent à des fins médicinales diverses8.

Les Abénakis utilisent la gomme pour les démangeaisons légères et comme onguent antiseptique9. Ils fourrent les feuilles9, les aiguilles et le bois dans des oreillers comme panacée.

Les Algonquins du Québec appliquent un cataplasme de gomme sur les plaies ouvertes, les piqûres d'insectes, les furoncles et les infections, utilisent les aiguilles comme sudatoire pour les femmes après l'accouchement et à d'autres fins, utilisent les racines pour les maladies cardiaques, utilisent les aiguilles pour faire un thé laxatif, et utilisent les aiguilles pour faire des cataplasmes10.

Les Atikamekw mâchent la sève comme remède contre le rhume et utilisent les rameaux comme tapis pour le sol des tentes11.

Les Cris utilisent la poix pour les irrégularités menstruelles, et prennent une infusion de l'écorce et parfois du bois pour la toux. Ils utilisent la poix et la graisse comme onguent pour la gale et les furoncles. Ils appliquent un cataplasme de poix sur les coupures. Ils utilisent également une décoction de poix et d'huile d'esturgeon utilisée pour la tuberculose, et prennent une infusion d'écorce pour la tuberculose.12 Ils utilisent également les rameaux pour fabriquer des abris en broussailles et se servent du bois pour fabriquer des pagaies.13

Les Innus râpent l'écorce intérieure et la consomment pour améliorer leur régime alimentaire14.

Les Iroquois utilisent la vapeur d'une décoction de branches comme bain pour les rhumatismes et la parturition, et ingèrent une décoction de la plante pour les rhumatismes. Ils prennent une décoction composée pour les rhumes et la toux, la mélangeant parfois avec de l'alcool15. Ils appliquent une décoction composée de la plante pour les coupures, les entorses, les contusions et les plaies. Ils appliquent un cataplasme de gomme et de rognons de castor séchés pour le cancer16. Ils prennent également une décoction composée dans les premiers stades de la tuberculose, et ils utilisent la plante pour l'énurésie et la gonorrhée17.

Les Malécites utilisent le jus de la plante comme laxatif18, utilisent la poix19 dans des médicaments et utilisent une infusion de l'écorce, parfois mélangée à de l'écorce d'épinette et de mélèze, pour soigner la gonorrhée.17 Ils utilisent les aiguilles et les branches comme oreillers et literie, les racines comme fil, et utilisent la poix pour imperméabiliser les coutures des canoës.20

Les Menominee utilisent l'écorce intérieure comme assaisonnement pour les médicaments, prennent une infusion de l'écorce intérieure pour les douleurs de poitrine et utilisent le baume liquide pressé du tronc pour les rhumes et les troubles pulmonaires. Ils utilisent également l'écorce interne en cataplasme pour des maladies non spécifiées21. Ils appliquent également la gomme des ampoules de la plante sur les plaies.22

Les Miꞌkmaq utilisent un cataplasme d'écorce interne pour un usage non spécifié21, utilisent les bourgeons, les cônes et l'écorce interne pour la diarrhée, utilisent la gomme pour les brûlures, les rhumes, les fractures, les plaies et les blessures, utilisent les cônes pour les coliques et utilisent les bourgeons comme laxatif. Ils utilisent également l'écorce pour la gonorrhée et les bourgeons comme laxatif.23 Ils utilisent les rameaux pour faire des lits, utilisent l'écorce pour faire une boisson et utilisent le bois comme bois d'allumage et combustible.

Les Ojibwés font fondre la gomme sur des pierres chaudes et en inhalent les émanations pour soigner les maux de tête.24 Ils utilisent également une décoction de la racine comme vapeur à base de plantes pour les articulations rhumatismales25. Ils combinent également la gomme avec de la graisse d'ours et l'utilisent comme onguent pour les cheveux.26 Ils utilisent les feuilles en forme d'aiguille dans le cadre d'une cérémonie impliquant un bain de sueur, et utilisent la gomme pour les rhumes et inhalent la fumée des feuilles pour les rhumes27. Ils utilisent la plante comme remède contre la toux28. La gomme est utilisée pour les plaies et un composé contenant des feuilles est utilisé comme lavage. Le baume liquide provenant des cloques d'écorce est utilisé pour les yeux douloureux27. Ils font bouillir la résine deux fois et l'ajoutent au suif ou à la graisse pour faire une poix de canoë27.

La gomme d'écorce est prise pour les douleurs thoraciques dues aux rhumes, appliquée sur les coupures et les plaies, et la décoction de l'écorce est utilisée pour provoquer la transpiration. La gomme d'écorce est également utilisée pour soigner la gonorrhée29.

Les Penobscot enduisent de sève les plaies, les brûlures et les coupures.30

Les Potawatomi utilisent les aiguilles pour fabriquer des oreillers, croyant que l'arôme empêche d'attraper un rhume31. Ils utilisent également la gomme balsamique comme pommade pour les plaies et prennent une infusion de l'écorce pour soigner la tuberculose32 et d'autres affections internes

Extrait de Wikipédia

 

La Malaisie, en forme longue la Fédération de Malaisie, en malais Malaysia, مليسيا, est un pays d'Asie du Sud-Est, constitué de la Malaisie péninsulaire ou Malaisie occidentale (péninsule Malaise) et de la Malaisie orientale (nord de Bornéo). Elle est située à environ 200 km au nord de l'équateur. Sa capitale est Kuala Lumpur et sa superficie est égale à 329 750 km2.

 

Le pays est composé de deux régions distinctes :

 

* La Malaisie occidentale ou Malaisie péninsulaire (au sud de la Thaïlande) est divisée du Nord au Sud par une longue chaîne montagneuse dont le point culminant se situe à 2189 m (Mont Tahan) et où subsistent de vastes zones forestières. La côte Ouest est marécageuse et plate, la côte Est est, au contraire, composée de longues plages de sable. Les cultures et plantations sont d'abord situées le long des plaines côtières. Le Nord du pays (Perlis et Kedah) est considéré comme le grenier à riz du pays.

* La Malaisie orientale est composée des territoires du Sarawak et du Sabah et située au Nord de l'Indonésie (Bornéo). Cette partie représente 15 % de la population sur 60 % du territoire. Elle est essentiellement composée de forêts tropicales humides et d'un relief assez élevé (mont Kinabalu, 4100 m).

 

La Malaisie partage ses frontières terrestres avec le Brunei (381 km), l'Indonésie (1178 km) et la Thaïlande (506 km), et dispose de 4675 km de côtes. Elle est également reliée à Singapour par deux ponts traversant le détroit de Johor.

 

L'utilisation du nom de « Malaisie » pour désigner la péninsule Malaise est récente. Ce nom est la francisation de Malaya dans l'expression « British Malaya » (Malaisie britannique) de laquelle les Anglais désignaient, à partir de la fin du XIXe siècle, les territoires qu'ils contrôlaient sur la péninsule.

 

Jusqu'en 1912, le nom de « Fédération de Malaisie » ne s'appliquait qu'à l'entité créée en 1946-48 par les Britanniques et devenue indépendante en 1957, « l'Union malaise » (Malayan Union). Celle-ci regroupait, dans la péninsule Malaise, les États malais, qui avaient auparavant le statut de protectorats, et les Strait Settlements, c'est-à-dire les colonies de Malacca, Penang et Singapour.

 

Lorsque les territoires britanniques de Bornéo, Sabah (British North Borneo) et Sarawak deviennent indépendants en 1963 et acceptent de rejoindre la Malaisie, la nouvelle entité est baptisée du néologisme de « Malaysia ».

 

En français, « Malaisie » avait à l'origine un autre sens. En 1831, Jules Dumont d'Urville proposait à la Société de géographie de Paris une organisation de l'Océanie en quatre parties :

 

* la Polynésie (« les nombreuses îles »),

* la Mélanésie (« les îles noires »),

* la Micronésie (« les petites îles ») et

* la Malaisie.

 

Par ce dernier nom, Dumont d'Urville entendait une région regroupant l'Indonésie, la Malaisie et les Philippines actuelles. À l'époque en effet, on considérait que les habitants de cette région pouvaient être désignés par le terme englobant de « Malais ».

 

Au sens strict du terme, les Malais sont les populations qui parlent la langue malaise et qui habitent le littoral oriental de l'île de Sumatra, les îles Riau, la péninsule Malaise et le littoral de l'île de Bornéo.

 

Le traité de Londres de 1824 entre Anglais et Hollandais se traduira par un partage en deux de ce monde malais. On ne saurait donc identifier celui-ci à la seule Malaisie.

 

Pour éviter la confusion, on utilise le gentilé « malaisien » pour désigner ce qui relève de la Malaisie comme État, le mot « malais » désignant ce qui relève de la langue, de la culture, de l'ethnie, et couvrant donc un territoire plus vaste. Ainsi, l'expression « monde malais » au sens strict désigne l'aire géographique habitée par les Malais et décrite plus haut.

 

L'État du Pahang est le plus grand de la Malaisie péninsulaire avec 35964 km². Sa capitale est la ville de Kuantan, située sur la côte est de la mer de Chine méridionale.

David Byrne is one of the most creative all-around artists alive. In the early '70s, David formed the 'Talking Heads', which went on to become one of the most influential groups in music. They were anti-corporate, experimental and helped revolutionize music videos. In 2002, they were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. David's been honoured by the Grammy's, Golden Globes and has even won an Oscar for 'The Last Emperor' soundtrack. He's also an accomplished visual artist - turning an entire building into a giant musical instrument and designing a series of bike racks for New York City. These days, he's teamed up again with music whiz Brian Eno. They've put out a new album together called 'Everything That Happens Will Happen Today' Brian did the music, David the lyrics and voice. They're calling it gospel-folk-electronic.
