Single Form, by Barbara Hepworth.
This sculpture stands in Battersea Park London, on the South shore of the lake, and is a smaller version of the one that stands at the United Nations in New York.
The first cast was made in 1963, and was displayed in an open air sculpture exhibition in Battersea Park.
In October that year, It was was shipped to America. It was donated to the Johns Hopkins University, and displayed in Washington D.C.
A second cast was also made in 1963, and was bought by the London County Council and installed at Battersea Park. (pictured here)
Hepworth doubled the size for a casting that would become the largest bronze artwork ever cast at Morris Singer's London foundry.
It was commissioned for the United Nations building, and was erected in New York in May 1964. This bigger version weighs 5.5 tonnes, and stands 6.4m high.
It has now stood at the United Nations for 60 years.

interesting sandstone forms in the lower Antelope Slot Canyon outside of Page Arizona, What do you see?
This is called a slot canyon, a narrow rift in the sandstone which can be 35' deep and at times almost too narrow to walk through. Other area's the canyon widens out to 20 ~30 feet. The sandstone swirls are formed by flooding water and wind currents over many many years. The Canyon featured is called "Lower Antelope Canyon" and Lower and Upper are both located just 5 miles east of Page Arizona

Pano-Sabotage, again, in the service of abstraction ...
Music Link: "The Big OM of Tibet" - The Monks of Gyuto Tantric College. Slightly remixed with some of the traditional bells and hand drums extended. The title is a somewhat silly Western contrivance to appeal to the New Age crowd, but the deep overtone chant is very traditional.
The texts for these chants, and Tibetan Buddhist chants in particular, are printed on long, narrow, loose sheets called Pecha, which are bookended with wood tops and bottoms, wrapped in silks and tied. These pages are printed on both sides in Tibetan Sacred text and flipped over in order as one makes their way though the Pecha.
Tantric chanting isn't noted, as in Western musical notation, but is given shape by sinuous, curving, undulating lines that indicate many shifts and changes in breath, length of notes, where harmonic overtones are emphasized over fundamental notes etc. These lines appear over the words of the text, shaping the chant in ways more often than not, far too subtle for the untrained ear to hear. Nevertheless, listening to these chants, especially in person, is said to have a profound effect on the listener's consciousness.
Having done so myself, I can attest to that.

2nd Music Link: "Hallelujah" - David Hykes and the Harmonic Choir. Here, an Eastern inspired but very Western chant vocalizes, also in harmonics, words from the Abrahamic religions, the most common being "Hallelujah". Hykes and choir also do not follow strict Western traditions of notation but work with visual forms to construct the shape and extent of the chant.

Two different forms of transportation momentarily meet as the BHS heads lite to switch Odyssey. The MASSIVE Cargill terminal at the port sets the backdrop for this scene. This may or may not be what I've heard called the "100" Crew. I clearly have a lot to learn about this operation... but that's what makes things fun!

When not remember what happens to us,
the same thing can happen.
They are the very things that we marginalize,
memory kill us, we burn the ideas,
take away the words.
If history is written by the victors,
that means that there is another story,
the real story.
who want to hear let him hear.
They burn the words, they are silenced,
and the voice of the people will ever hear.
Needless to kill,
proof of death
that life exists ...

Cuando no recordamos lo que nos pasa,
nos puede suceder la misma cosa.
Son esas mismas cosas que nos marginan,
nos matan la memoria, nos queman las ideas,
nos quitan las palabras
Si la historia la escriben los que ganan,
eso quiere decir que hay otra historia:
la verdadera historia,
quien quiera oír que oiga.
Nos queman las palabras, nos silencian,
y la voz de la gente se oirá siempre.
Inútil es matar,
la muerte prueba
que la vida existe…

Sunrises confuse me. Panoramas confuse me. With that said, I decided to try and kill 2 birds with one stone and take advantage of a sleepless night.
I've always struggled with insomnia and prefer evening to morning. I'm rarely awake at sunrise, though it's not uncommon for me to fall asleep as it begins. When I do try, I'm normally a little late to arrive and my brain is on sunset by default. It's hard to see things in reverse. I could see the interesting clouds forming from my bed and finally just got up, got my gear together and left without waking the dog.
Panoramas are something I'm just now trying to figure out. Like sunrises, my brain has trouble shooting a panorama in portrait and doing everything at a very awkward angle.
I was the only person at the Hollywood Bowl Overlook when I arrived and I only had about 5 minutes of great sky and light before the haze crept in. This is a 3 shot stitched panorama from the Hollywood sign to the edge of the rising sun.

natural light shots of hermits, birds with odd shaped tail which creates a typical hunched posture. Hermits have a long decurved bill with a red or yellow base to the lower mandible, and their two central tail feathers are elongated and tipped with white, buff or ochre. The crown of the head is flat, and two pale facial stripes enclose a dusky mask.
Most hermits are restricted to the edge and undergrowth of forest, woodland and second growth, but some species (e.g. the planalto hermit) also occur in more open habitats.
Many species of hermits form leks and congregate on traditional display grounds, where females visit to choose a mate. Male hermits are generally less aggressive than other male hummingbirds, although both sexes will defend a feeding territory.
From wiki:
The stripe-throated hermit feeds on flower-nectar taken by trap-lining. It has also been observed piercing the base of flowers to get nectar that otherwise would be out of reach; sometimes it take small insects. Typically this species forages fairly low, only occasionally at canopy-level.. This hummingbird is found in a wide range of wooded habitats, e.g. forest, woodland, clearings, thickets and gardens; typically in humid regions, but locally also in drier, deciduous habitats (e.g. in Ecuador). Mainly found in lowlands and foothills, it has exceptionally been recorded up to an altitude of 1,800 m (5,900 ft) ASL.
The island is bathed in warm springtime "sweet light" during a springtime sunset.

El proyecto Metropol Parasol es una estructura en forma de pérgola de madera y hormigón ubicada en la céntrica plaza de la Encarnación de la ciudad de Sevilla. Cuenta con unas dimensiones de 150 metros de largo, 70 metros de ancho y una altura aproximada de 26 metros. Su base alberga un mercado tradicional y locales de restauración en la planta baja, una plaza de espectáculos y el museo arqueológico Antiquarium. La estructura se corona con una terraza y un mirador que ofrece una vista panorámica del casco antiguo de la ciudad.
La obra, compuesta principalmente de madera laminada, está formada por una gran retícula en forma de parasol sostenida sobre seis pilares que abarcan tanto la plaza de la Encarnación como la Plaza Mayor de la ciudad. Cada una de sus costillas componen una distribución espacial donde cada nervadura ofrece una curvatura propia, lo cual aporta al conjunto una sensación de movimiento ondulatorio. Aunque su diseño está inspirado en las bóvedas de la Catedral de Sevilla, por su perfil fungiforme, pronto recibió por parte de los ciudadanos el nombre de ‘Las Setas’.
El proyecto fue el ganador del concurso abierto por el Ayuntamiento de Sevilla para llevar a cabo la rehabilitación de la plaza en la que se ubica. Su diseñador fue el arquitecto berlinés Jürgen Mayer. Por su diseño vanguardista y funciones turísticas, se ha convertido en un icono del centro histórico y de la ciudad de Sevilla. En enero de 2013, el espacio Metropol Parasol fue elegido, entre los 335 proyectos candidatos, como uno de cinco proyectos finalistas del Premio de Arquitectura Contemporánea Mies van der Rohe que conceden bianualmente la Unión Europea y la fundación Fundación Mies van der Rohe.
Las obras comenzaron el 26 de junio de 2005. Las múltiples dificultades que surgieron sobre las obras produjeron controversias y retrasos que triplicaron el coste previsto de la obra hasta llegar a los 100 millones de euros. Finalmente, el Metropol Parasol fue inaugurado el 27 de marzo de 2011 y desde entonces se ha consolidado como uno de los principales atractivos turísticos de la ciudad, llegando a alcanzar el millón de visitantes en su primer año.
