For Mosaic Montage Monday theme of Fluid Forms is this montage of the young curled fern frond at the Dale Chihuly Exhibit at the Adelaide Botanic garden and an overlay of flowing lines and dots. Many of Dale Chihuly pieces exhibit flowing curls and curves too indicating fluidity. HMMM
@Fotosöndag: Form kan vara vad som helst. Därför kom jag att fundera på, vilken form som kan vara avgörande för att fylla en funktion. Det första som dök upp var en "gammaldags" blyertspenna som måste formas med hjälp av en pennvässare för att fungera.
First experiments with a new form in the ever-evolving world of Pano-Sabotage photography that's been dubbed "MonitorPano". It's both a new turn for me and a return to a very old tactic I used in 2012 where I achieved coarse but provoking layers by photographing, with my Canon Rebel XS, my computers screen saver as it faded in and out between images in my photo files. The great thing was that the images didn't just click from one to the next like a slide show, they faded in and out over top of each other. There was always a "crossover" point where the two images would occupy the same amount of "presence" on the screen thereby becoming "fused" or "blended" ... in effect ... layered. A cruder version of Brian Enos Installation piece, "77 Million Paintings", perhaps, but using the same idea.

By the time Apple brought out the next Operating System, they'd taken out that scrolling slide show feature from what was then "iPhoto" and re-dubbed it "Photos". It always amazes me how the Silicon Valley geeks always "improve" things by taking out unique and wonderful features. Gotta mow it all down to sameness and uniformity, I guess. Unique features are seen as "mistakes".
Liz Mack has asked, "How long will it take for Apple to 'correct' the algorithms that allow for Pano-Sabotage photography ?"
MonitorPano, even though being hotly used right now and to great effect has actually been around quietly for a few years now. Don of the PANO-vision group was actually one of the first Pano-Sabotage artists to start "pano-ing" his desktop screen, and has often produced some very unique work with this method. Recently, Bill Smith, Paul Ewing and Liz Mack have taken it up with a vengeance with striking results.
"Graph ET 1" is the first finished piece that I created using the same technique the Paul, Bill, Liz and Don use. All of us in "PANO-Vision" learn a lot from each other and each of us makes invaluable contributions to the groups knowledge and technique base by that sharing. In PANO, as well call it for short, it's not about competition. We thrive by sharing. Each of us grows by contributing to an ongoing and easy exchange.
"MonitorPano" is achieved by setting one's cell phone camera on "Pano", clicking it on, while focusing on the desktop monitor and using the other hand to tap the arrow right ( or left ) key to quickly jump from photo to photo while the cell phone hand is pano-sabotaging the whole "pass". Tricky, and it takes some co-ordination, but it can be quite surprising what results.

I am VERY proud to announce that I was chosen to be the feature artist of the "Kreative People" Group's Spring Gallery - Running until the end of June. I really must thank both abstractartangel77 and Xandram for bestowing me with this great honour. The link to the gallery appears below:

Nach zwei Jahren Pause gab es Gestern anlässlich des Marktes am Karfreitag in Bouzonville, nahe der deutsch-französischen Grenze einen Sonderverkehr, der wie auch zuvor mit Triebwagen der Baureihe 628 bestritten wird. Planmäßig wird die sogenannte Niedtalbahn, über die die Triebwagen zahlreiche Touristen von deutscher Seite aus in die französische Provinzstadt brachten, nur auf deutscher Seite zwischen Dillingen und Niedaltdorf in Form der RB 77 mit Triebwagen der Baureihe 642 (auch ab und zu stattdessen 628) betrieben. Der Abschnitt zwischen Niedaltdorf und Bouzonville ist außer den Karfreitagszügen vom Bahnverkehr befreit. Gestern konnte man dort jedoch nach angesprochener Corona-Zwangspause endlich wieder Zugverkehr antreffen, wobei die beiden Kaiserslauterner 628 mit den Nummern 473 und 475 eingesetzt waren. Hier sieht man das Pärchen im sonst Personenzug-losen Bahnhof von Bouzonville (zu deutsch Busendorff).

J'ai pris ces photos un matin, à 5h40, lorsque le soleil se levait..
I took these pictures a morning at 5:40am, during the sunrise

Accompanied by swarms of hungry mosquitoes, my husband and I hiked up what essentially is a gigantic sand dune of a cinder cone to witness sunrise. With vivid reds and oranges, surrounded by black lava rock and dotted with Jeffrey Pines, the otherworldly Painted Hills in Lassen Volcanic National Park are formed from oxidized volcanic ash, and truly are a work of Mother Nature’s art. I deviated from my usual editing style to bring out the dark shadows and drama of this magical moment.
A still from the video I posted recently. RAW to render. No processing. This one struck me as some kind of sea creature. But it's just ice.

The photograph shows the former Jarisch villa located at 88 Kościuszki Avenue.
Built in the years 1923-1925 on behalf of Alfred and Bodo Jarisch, sons of the industrialist Florian Jarisch (at the back of the tenement house built by their father in 1892 from the side of 153 Piotrkowska Street).
The author of the design was Karl Seidl, a Viennese architect.
The villas are decorated with two loggias on the left side and impressive stairs on the right, which lead to the ground floor and the first floor. A turret rises above the central semicircular bay window. Additional decorations are double semi-columns located between the windows on the ground floor and the first floor.
Throughout its history, the building has been used as a Wedding Palace, Tourist Information Centre, and the Resident Service Centre of the City of Łódź Office for the Central district.
La forma vera della citta' e' in questo sali e scendi di tetti, tegole vecchie e nuove, coppi ed embrici, comignoli esili o tarchiati, pergole di cannucce e tettoie d'eternit ondulata, ringhiere, balaustre, pilastrini che reggono vasi, serbatoi d'acqua in lamiera, abbaini, lucernari di vetro, e su ogni cosa s'innalza l'alberatura delle antenne televisive, dritte o storte, smaltate o arrugginite, in modelli di generazioni successive, variamente ramificate e cornute e schermate, ma tutte magre come scheletri e inquietanti come totem. Separati da golfi di vuoto irregolari e frastagliati, si fronteggiano terrazzi proletari con corde per i panni stesi e pomodori piantati nei catini di zinco; terrazzi residenziali con spalliere di rampicanti su tralicci di legno, mobili da giardino in ghisa verniciata di bianco, tendoni arrotolabili; campanili con la loggia campanaria scampanante; frontoni di palazzi pubblici di fronte e di profilo; attici e superattici, sopraelevamenti abusivi e impunibili; impalcature di tubi metallici di costruzioni in corso o rimaste a mezzo; finestroni con tendaggi e finestrini di gabinetti; muri color ocra e color siena; muri color muffa dalle cui crepe cespi d'erba riversano il loro pendulo fogliame; colonne d'ascensori; torri con bifore e con trifore; guglie di chiese con madonne; statue di cavalli e quadrighe; magioni decadute a tuguri; tuguri ristrutturati a garconieres; e cupole che tondeggiano sul cielo in ogni direzione e a ogni distanza come a confermare l'essenza femminile, giunonica della citta': cupole bianche o rosa o viola a seconda dell'ora e della luce, venate di nervature, culminanti in lanterne sormontate da altre cupole piu' piccole.
Nulla di tutto questo puo' essere visto da chi muove i suoi piedi o le sue ruote sui selciati delle citta'. E, inversamente, si ha l'impressione che la vera crosta terrestre sia questa, ineguale ma compatta, anche se solcata da fratture non si sa quanto profonde, crepacci o pozzi o crateri, i cui orli in prospettiva appaiono ravvicinati come scaglie di una pigna, e non viene neppure da domandarsi cosa nascondano nel loro fondo, perche' gia' tanta e tanto ricca e' la vista in superficie che basta e avanza a saturare la mente d'informazioni e di significati.
Cosi' ragionano gli uccelli, o almeno cosi' ragiona, immaginandosi uccello, il signor Palomar. "Solo dopo aver conosciuto la superficie delle cose, - conclude, - ci si puo' spingere a cercare quel che c'e' sotto. Ma la superficie delle cose e' inesauribile"
Calvino, Palomar (Dal terrazzo)

They are predicting rain overnight and into tomorrow. We had been cool all day until the wind shifted. That brought in humidity and the cloud bank you see here started to form. We will most likely get a thunder shower overnight. They are not calling for severe weather.
This is what happens during the autumn months. We will keep getting changes in wind direction. From the northeast, it will be cool, from the southwest it will bring in warmer moist air and when they meet, depending on conditions, all heck can break lose. it can be anything from constant rain and windy to tornadoes and gale force winds.
We were driving and saw this phenomenal cloud- but it looked like a mushroom cloud! I have to admit I was somewhat fearful at first, even with the beauty of it!

The Oystercatcher
The Oystercatchers are a group of waders forming the family Haematopodidae, which has a single genus, Haematopus. They are found on coasts worldwide apart from the Polar Regions and some tropical regions of Africa and South East Asia. The exception to this is the Eurasian Oystercatcher and the South Island Oystercatcher, both of which breed inland, far inland in some cases. In the past there has been a great deal of confusion as to the species limits, with discrete populations of all black oystercatchers being afforded specific status but pied oystercatchers being considered one single species.
The name Oystercatcher was coined by Mark Catesby in 1731 as a common name for the North American species H. Palliatus, described as eating oysters. Yarrell in 1843 established this as the preferred term, replacing the older name Sea Pie.

A sunset capture form El. Franco Lee Park that never made its way into the photostream. Hopefully, a few warm clouds will brighten and warm your spirit for the day.
We spent that morning getting blanketed by a rare snow storm that left everything under a sheet of white. The snowfall stopped before noon and a majority of the snow is gone from the roadways. Those roadways could be quite treacherous this evening as the temperatures drop to 19ᴼF overnight. I know that some in the north will give a chuckle and say that they deal with temperatures like this on a daily basis, but we can go three or four years at a time before the temperatures drop below the freezing point here in the Houston area. Our infrastructure is just not set up to handle situations like this and so, it’s a bit of a challenge over the next 14 to 16 hours before eh temperatures get above freezing. We’ll be above freezing by 10 am tomorrow and everything should return to normal after that.
I did venture out to take some photos, but have not looked at those photos, but I am not noted for my snowscapes and am not certain that any will be posted. Just hoping that everyone stays save and warm from Texas to Florida.
Just a footnote about the decorative birds on the observation platform, they are not real, but are a part of the decorative handrail on the platform.
