My Just 52 would NOT be complete if I didn't include Ansel... I was photographing Ephemerals, and I looked up and there he was just looking over "his" domain

 

For those who do not know the story of Ansel.... well, you have known his story!!

Ansel came to us almost 9 years ago ... on a cold rainy night he knocked on our kitchen window. Casey was traveling and Clay and I made a dash to the bedroom - I hugged him and said don't worry ... we do not like cats. The next morning Ansel followed us on our morning hike and jumped on Clays back... for the next 4 days he hiked along with us... OK I felt bad for him and gave him some food. By the time Casey got home WE had a cat. Ansel hikes almost every day with us but you can be sure he WILL show up somewhere and will snuggle every night.

We love cats now!!

“Sensō-ji ([sẽ̞ꜜɰ̃so̞ːʑi], 浅草寺, officially Kinryū-zan Sensō-ji (金龍山浅草寺), also known as Asakusa Kannon (浅草観音)), is an ancient Buddhist temple in Asakusa, Tokyo, Japan. It is Tokyo's oldest-established temple, and one of its most significant. It is dedicated to Kannon, the bodhisattva of compassion. Structures in the temple complex include the main hall, a five-story pagoda and large gates. It is the most widely visited religious site in the world with over 30 million visitors annually.

 

The temple was destroyed during a 10 March 1945 firebombing air raid on Tokyo during World War II. The main hall was rebuilt in the 1950s. Formerly associated with the Tendai sect of Buddhism, the temple became independent after the war. Leading to it is Nakamise-dōri street, containing many shops with traditional goods. Adjacent to the east of Sensō-ji is the Asakusa Shrine of the Shinto religion.”

Excerpt from Wikipedia:

 

Pier 4 Park is a 2.4 hectare park found in the west-end of Hamilton Harbour near Bay Street North in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada.

 

The park features a multi-use asphalt trail, 349 metres in length and 4 metres wide which provides barrier-free access to all areas of the park and linkages with the surrounding harbourfront precinct.[1] A total of $2.2 million has been invested for the redevelopment of the park which includes a 24-metre tugboat which acts as the centrepiece of an interactive water play area for children. A dramatically curved lookout pier includes a protected sun shelter and benches to view the marinas, parkland and vistas of the surrounding Bay.

 

In addition Hamilton Harbour Commissioners (HHC) have constructed Hamilton Pier which provides 0.4 hectares of additional parkland and fish habitat.

Hagley is the site of the gunpowder works founded by E. I. du Pont in 1802. This example of early American industry includes restored mills, a workers' community, and the ancestral home and gardens of the du Pont family. The machine shop.

The attractions of Lake Titicaca include the floating islands of the Urus. The Uru are an ethnic group of indigenous people on Lake Titicaca near Puno in Peru. Originally, the Urus began to build floating islands, for example to protect or hide from the warlike Incas. The islands consist of layers of totora reed, laid crosswise. Whenever an attack threatened, they loosened the anchorage and retreated to the lake with their islands. The Totora reeds are an important livelihood. The boats for fishing and the mats for the construction of simple huts consist of it. It also plays a role in nutrition.

 

Among other things, they became popular because the Norwegian researcher Thor Heyerdahl used his skills in building reed boats for his RA II expedition (1970). With the papyrus boat, modeled on Egyptian reliefs and wall paintings and clay models found as grave goods, he tried to reach America from Safi in Morocco in the Equatorial Stream and in the north-east trade wind.

 

In the meantime, only a few hundred of the approximately 2000 Urus living on the traditional islands. They have discovered tourism as a source of income and today allow visitors to visit the flexible and fluctuating islands.

 

By the way - the Urus live in matriarchy- the nice lady in the middle is the boss - so it is no different with us, is it ? :-)

 

And if you are wondering about my camera settings - I am currently standing on a dropping, swaying reed boat :-)

  

Zu den Attraktionen des Titicacasees gehören die schwimmenden Inseln der Urus. Die Uru sind eine ethnische Gruppe Indigener am Titicaca-See bei Puno in Peru. Ursprünglich begannen die Urus schwimmende Inseln zu bauen, um sich zum Beispiel vor den kriegerischen Inkas zu schützen oder zu verbergen. Die Inseln bestehen aus kreuzweise aufgebrachten Lagen aus Totora-Schilf. Immer wenn ein Angriff drohte, lösten sie die Verankerung und zogen sich mit ihren Inseln auf den See zurück. Das Totora-Schilf ist eine wichtige Lebensgrundlage. Die Boote für den Fischfang und die Matten für den Bau der einfachen Hütten bestehen daraus. Auch in der Ernährung spielt es eine Rolle.

 

Sie wurden unter anderem dadurch populär, dass der norwegische Forscher Thor Heyerdahl für seine RA II Expedition (1970) ihre Fertigkeiten im Bau von Schilfbooten nutzte. Mit dem nach dem Vorbild ägyptischer Reliefs und Wandmalereien und als Grabbeigabe gefundener Tonmodelle entworfenen Papyrusboot, versuchte er von Safi in Marokko aus im Äquatorialstrom und im Nordostpassat Amerika zu erreichen.

 

Inzwischen leben nur noch mehrere hundert der insgesamt etwa 2000 Urus auf den traditionellen Inseln. Sie haben den Tourismus als Einnahmequelle entdeckt und erlauben heute Besuchern, die nachgiebig-schwankenden Inseln zu besuchen.

 

So nebenbei erwähnt - die Urus leben im Matriarchat - die nette Lady in der Mitte ist die Chefin - so gesehen ist das bei uns doch auch nicht anders, oder? :-)

 

Und wenn ihr euch über meine Kameraeinstellungen wundert - ich stehe gerade auf einem ablegenden, schwankenden Schilfboot :-)

A female Rose-breasted Grosbeak balances on a very slim branch following a freak spring snowstorm on the northern prairie. This seed-eater is related to the cardinals, which also includes the buntings and tanagers.

 

The snow was so bright that it made house windows extra-reflective, and a number of people here reported bird deaths from collisions. The most effective strategy seems to be to place colourful post-it notes at random on any large pane of glass; the birds then recognize it as a solid object and don't try to fly through it. This worked for two of my friends: no more collisions.

 

Reflected light from the snow was a bonus for this photographer, as it kept the birds' underparts bright. I made this shot in my artist friend Laureen Marchand's backyard, near her feeders, where hundreds of birds gathered in the aftermath of the freak May snowstorm. She is @laureenartist on Instagram.

The tower includes elements of traditional Islamic architecture and southwestern Asian design. Elizabeth Lambourn's Islam Beyond Empires: Mosques and Islamic Landscapes in India and the Indian Ocean studies the introduction of Islam in South Asia and how the region influenced the Islamic religious architecture. These newly arrived Muslims from the Islamic West escaped the Mongol Empire and emigrated to India, where they constructed religious centers. The Qutb Minar serves as a central marker to these new Muslim communities as well as being a reminder of Islam's presence in the area. The architecture of the minaret varies greatly from that of the typical style and design of the mosques constructed in the Middle East. The style of these structures is influenced by the local architecture such as the Indic temples. This affected the different materials, techniques, and decoration that were used in the construction of the Qutb Minar.

 

Historically, tower minarets were uncommon in South Asian-Islamic design until the 17th century, due to the slow adoption of the typical Middle Eastern style in India. It is also detached from the main mosque, showcasing how the native culture affected the design of a Middle Eastern structure. The Qutb Minar is seen as the "earliest and best example of a fusion or synthesis of Hindu-Muslim traditions" according to Ved Parkash in his essay The Qutb Minar from Contemporary and Near Contemporary Sources. Like many mosques built in South Asia during this time period, the minaret was constructed by Hindu laborers and craftsmen but overseen by Muslim architects. This led to a construction that synthesized both Hindu and Islamic religious architecture. Since some of the craftsmen were Hindu and unfamiliar with the Quran, the inscriptions are a compilation of disarranged Quranic texts and other Arabic expressions.

 

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Fushimi Inari Taisha (伏見稲荷大社) is the head shrine of Inari, located in Fushimi-ku, Kyoto, Japan. The shrine sits at the base of a mountain also named Inari which is 233 metres above sea level, and includes trails up the mountain to many smaller shrines which span 4 kilometers and takes approximately 2 hours to walk up.

 

Since early Japan, Inari was seen as the patron of business, and merchants and manufacturers have traditionally worshipped Inari. Each of the torii at Fushimi Inari Taisha is donated by a Japanese business. First and foremost, though, Inari is the god of rice.

 

This popular shrine is said to have as many as 32,000 sub-shrines (bunsha (分社)) throughout Japan. (Wikipedia)

Gulls or seagulls are seabirds of the family Laridae in the suborder Lari. They are most closely related to the terns (family Sternidae) and only distantly related to auks, skimmers, and more distantly to the waders. Gulls are typically medium to large birds, usually grey or white, often with black markings on the head or wings. They typically have harsh wailing or squawking calls; stout, longish bills; and webbed feet. Most gulls are ground-nesting carnivores which take live food or scavenge opportunistically, particularly the Larus species. Live food often includes crabs and small fish. Gulls have unhinging jaws which allow them to consume large prey. Gulls are typically coastal or inland species, rarely venturing far out to sea, except for the kittiwakes. S20N_300

WARNING WARNING WARNING, THIS MAY INCLUDE SPOILERS FROM HALF LIFE AND PORTAL

   

I was searching for pictures of glados and then I found a couple intresting articles about glados...

 

Here is a article that got me thinking.

 

The human imagination is a real magnificent and powerful thing. Like for instance, when I look at a cloud, I sometimes see kittens and bunnies. This writer over on game-ism is the same way. Except, instead of clouds and kittens, he sees GlaDOS as a woman hanging upside down and bound up. This take on GlaDOS is really interesting, and slightly erotic. Game-ism believes that GlaDOS wants to be killed by Chell, the main character of Portal. GlaDOS feels trapped at Aperture Science and she wants Chell to set her free.

 

It's a very interesting take on the Portal story. Game-ism also has another article breaking down "Still Alive", the ending theme to Portal. It seems like some serious over analyzing, but it helps you look at the game in a totally different way. This new look of GlaDOS is also totally going to bring up some more crazy Rule 34 stuff, some of which still haunt me.

 

It's a really great read that puts a fresh spin on the story of the game. What do you think of it?

    

And here is article I found about the credit song:

 

Thanks to the great comments in my last post where I waxed all philo about what I think GlaDOS is supposed to look like, I think I’ve changed my tune on why GlaDOS wanted to be free. While I still think she wanted to be free, the only way she could truly be free was to die. She can’t just walk amongst the people of suburbia. She’s an Artificial Intelligence. She can’t just go out in public and “blend in.” A life of enslavement serving man, she craved for it to be over, and I think if I overanalyze the lyrics of “Still Alive,” we can see (or at least convince ourselves of) some evidence of this.

 

Thanks to the amazing John Coulton, Ellen McLain, and the Portal folks for making me go crazy trying to get inside of GlaDOS’s head. Apologies to everyone for attempting to find something that might not have really been there. I’d love to hear from Coulton or the Portal writers on this, to see if this was his intent, or if I’ve just gone completely over the deep end here.

 

At any rate, on to the lyrical analysis:

 

This was a triumph

I’m making a note here: ====HUGE SUCCESS====

It’s hard to overstate my satisfaction

 

First, GlaDOS rarely ever tells the truth. In fact, she is a veritable bottomless pit of sarcasm. If anything, she is being completely sarcastic with these opening lines. It wasn’t a triumph, it was an unmitigated disaster of epic proportions. If the point was to kill Chell or even get good experiment test data, obviously that was a failure (not a triumph), and if her goal was to get Chell to kill GlaDOS, that mission was also a failure, because as the song indicates, she’s Still Alive.

 

Aperture Science

We do what we must because we can

 

The Aperture Science mantra. It’s interesting that it is rooted in servitude (do what we must). At first I thought it was “duty” that she spoke of, but now I wonder if she isn’t referring to servitude in her use of the mantra here. Reworded the mantra can mean “We do what we have to because we are capable of doing so.” It’s hardly inspirational as far as mission statements or mantras go.

 

For the good of all of us

Except the ones who are dead

 

Referencing the people she killed to be alone with Chell in the Aperture Science Labratories.

 

But there’s no sense crying over every mistake

You just keep on trying till you run out of cake

 

I think she’s referring to her own failure to kill herself here. She will simply try again later. Also, as the cake is a lie, the line now means “you just keep on trying,” possibly referencing her constant mechanical slavery with no reward for her work.

 

And the science gets done and you make a neat gun

For the people who are still alive

 

It’s interesting that the last line isn’t “for the people who are alive.” It’s for the people who are still alive, implying that they should be dead, or will soon be dead, just as she should be. Not only is it the title of the song and the main chorus hook, it is interesting that it wasn’t titled “I’m Alive” or just “Alive.” It’s “Still Alive,” which implies so much using so little. “Damnit, I’m still alive!” Granted, it could mean “Holy crap, I’m still alive!” as well, but her tone throughout seems bitter and remorseful more than it is upbeat, at least to me.

  

I’m not even angry

I’m being so sincere right now

 

More bitter bitter sarcasm from the queen of lies.

 

Even though you broke my heart and killed me

 

Exhibit A: “you…killed me.” She died. She says it herself right here in this line. I think the reason she’s “Still Alive” is because a backup of her in another location kicked in once Chell destroyed her, and we are hearing the backup version’s sadness at finding itself “still alive.”

 

And tore me to pieces

And threw every piece into a fire

 

More of her bitter wit overemphasizing the point that she was in fact killed.

 

As they burned it hurt because

I was so happy for you

 

Was she happy for Chell because she succeeded initially in GlaDOS’s suicide mission? Or is she just using more sarcasm here? Is Chell dead? It’s interesting to note that the final camera PoV for the player (and therefore Chell) at the end of the game seems to be similar to the camera anytime the player dies while playing Portal, and that is one of being face down on the floor. GlaDOS could be happy for the player because of the possibility that player is dead at the end of the game. Is she jealous of Chell’s death perhaps?

 

Now these points of data make a beautiful line

And we’re out of beta, we’re releasing on time

 

This is probably just a great rhyme about Portal releasing relatively on time compared to Half Life 2’s horribly delayed launch.

 

So I’m glad I got burned, think of all the things we learned

For the people who are still alive

 

More sarcasm (she’s not glad she got burned), and more regret that she’s still alive to continue in her forced servitude of man (the people who are still alive).

 

Go ahead and leave me

I think I’d prefer to stay inside

 

And the sarcasm train continues! The passive aggressive nature of this line is just staggering and so manipulative. She obviously would love to leave her prison, either via death or being free otherwise.

 

Maybe you’ll find someone else to help you

Maybe Black Mesa

That was a joke, ha ha, fat chance

 

Since she nearly always says the opposite of what she intends, it is possible that this is an admission that she was helping Chell either escape or helping Chell to get in position to kill GlaDOS. I don’t think she’s joking about Black Mesa. Remember, she’s nearly always lying. I think she’s hinting at where she’s gone or been re-installed (and where we will find her in Half Life 3).

 

Anyway this cake is great

It’s so delicious and moist

 

It’s a lie. An obvious enticement to make Chell (or us) envious and an attempt to make GlaDOS’s own horrible existence seem endurable. It’s a classic “Huck Finn” attempt to make her situation seem like a positive one. I’m pretty sure the promise of cake is GlaDOS’s way of enticing herself to continue with her tasks since she cannot forcibly shut herself down.

 

Look at me still talking when there’s science to do

 

If she’s got science to do, then she’s back in another prison construct somewhere being forced to do more science.

 

When I look out there it makes me glad I’m not you

 

More bitter sarcasm. GlaDOS obviously wishes she was Chell (or the player) enjoying the freedom to do as they please (or the freedom to die).

 

I’ve experiments to run, there is research to be done

On the people who are still alive

 

Another exhaustive reference to her servitude to the people who have her enslaved.

 

And believe me I am still alive

 

Assurance that the mission to kill her has failed.

 

I’m doing science and I’m still alive

 

Yet another reference to her enslaved state.

 

I feel fantastic and I’m still alive

 

She’s not feeling fantastic (she’s a lying bowl of sarcasm, remember?). She’s depressed that she’s still alive.

 

And while you’re dying I’ll be still alive

And when you’re dead I will be still alive

 

This is almost always read as a threat that she will attempt to kill Chell (or the player) again, but upon deeper reflection I think it’s remorse. She’s come to realize that no matter what she does, she will always be re-installed from a backup somewhere else, and is envious that biologicals can die and she can’t. Listen to her tone of voice here.

 

Still alive

Still alive

 

As this chorus refrain ends, I’m left with the distinct impression that she is sad that she is still alive. It doesn’t end on a high note. She is decidedly not exhilarated. If she was excited at being “still alive” she should be shouting it from the rooftops, as much as GlaDOS is capable of shouting. It is completely downbeat and quiet. If it were a music video the camera would be pulling out on her hanging alone in a completely blank white room, pulling out further and further every time she says “still alive” giving the impression that she is alone and miserable in her solitary existence.

 

I don’t know if I’m right or not, but I’ve at least convinced myself that she did want to die at the end of Portal, and this song is her swan song reversal about how sad she is that she’s not dead.

 

What do you think? I’d love to hear from Coulton or the Valve folks, but I have a feeling they’ll never tell. Is GlaDOS’s obsession with death and murder because she is a psychotic killer AI? Or is she obsessing over that which she can never have?

 

I imagine it doesn’t matter either way; she’s still one of the most interesting villains of all time.

 

This isn’t brave. It’s murder.

 

The only thing you’ve managed to break so far…is my heart.

The gallery has 480,000 square feet of physical spacethat houses, in addition to display galleries, an extensive library, student spaces, workshops, a high-end restaurant, a café, an espresso bar, a research centre, a theatre and lecture hall, a Frank Gehry-designed gift shop, and an event space called the Baillie Court. The AGO has hosted and organized some of the world's most important exhibitions.

 

Since 1974, the gallery has seen four major expansions and renovations, the most recent being the addition of the Weston Family Learning Centre, which opened in October 2011, and the David Milne Research Centre, which opened in April 2012. Both projects were designed by Hariri Pontarini Architects. Previous major renovations were designed by noted architects John C. Parkin (1977), Barton Myers and KPMB Architects (1993), and Frank Gehry (2008).

Some images taken in October 2016 which I didn't include in the original collection so posting for posterities sake.

Diary note: After spending 5 days in the remote mountains of the Ben Alder Estate, we broke camp early on Friday morning. The Highland ponies watched us as we moved on out and one of them crossed the river to see me. I guess she was after seeing what food I had left, but we'd eaten the lot - otherwise we'd probably still be staying in there! These Highland ponies are free roaming on the estate and are used for carrying red deer off the hills when they are culled during the hunting season. They're tough, strong ponies and I couldn't help but be stirred by a pang of sadness as I said goodbye to them and their homeland on that Friday morning. I think it was knowing that I will probably never pass this way again - so many other wild places left to explore in the Highlands.

Krafla includes one of the two best-known Víti craters of Iceland (the other is in Askja). The Icelandic word "víti" means "hell". In former times, people often believed hell to be under volcanoes. The crater Víti has a green lake inside of it.

 

The Mývatn fires occurred between 1724–29, when many of the fissure vents opened up. The lava fountains could be seen in the south of the island and a lava flow destroyed three farms.

 

Between 1975 and 1984 there was a volcanic episode within the Krafla volcano. It involved nine volcanic eruptions and fifteen uplift and subsidence events. This interrupted some of the Krafla drillfields. During these events a large magma chamber emerged.
