"If the cut of the costume indicates intellect and talent, then the color indicates temper and heart." ~ Carlyle, Thomas

"There exists in life an overwhelming, soul-dwelling understanding of nature, inherent in the human mind. Senses, and the very notion of feeling, thought, and guts, are entirely too primitive to comprehend all of nature's greatness and absolute wonder. It's like the intuitive "knowing" of love; the conceptual feeling, the expression, and its undeniable "magical" feeling. You know that feeling in the innermost depths of your being---it's like the only thing great enough in this world to be able to actually brush against your soul. It's above everyday senses, and it shatters the finite bounds of all intellect, and logical comprehension."

Ganesha, also known as Ganapati and Vinayaka, is one of the best-known and most worshipped deities in the Hindu pantheon. His image is found throughout India, Sri Lanka and Nepal. Hindu sects worship him regardless of affiliations. Devotion to Ganesha is widely diffused and extends to Jains and Buddhists.
Although he is known by many attributes, Ganesha's elephant head makes him easy to identify. Ganesha is widely revered as the remover of obstacles, the patron of arts and sciences and the deva of intellect and wisdom. As the god of beginnings, he is honoured at the start of rituals and ceremonies. Ganesha is also invoked as patron of letters and learning during writing sessions. Several texts relate mythological anecdotes associated with his birth and exploits and explain his distinct iconography.
Ganesha emerged as a distinct deity in the 4th and 5th centuries AD, during the Gupta period, although he inherited traits from Vedic and pre-Vedic precursors. He was formally included among the five primary deities of Smartism (a Hindu denomination) in the 9th century. A sect of devotees called the Ganapatya arose, who identified Ganesha as the supreme deity. The principal scriptures dedicated to Ganesha are the Ganesha Purana, the Mudgala Purana, and the Ganapati Atharvashirsa. Brahma Purana and Brahmanda Purana are other two Puranic genre encyclopedic texts that deal with Ganesha.
Yesterday, I described the crazy escape the Intellect's band made from a fierce California wildfire. Little did we know, but Sasquatch was summering in Amador County and was also forced to flee the fire. He chased us northward through the valley like a Chattanooga dog. He showed up at our gig with his Gibson Les Paul guitar and demanded to take the stage. Turns out he was a heckuva guitar player but he couldn't sing for beans.
Happy Slider's Sunday everyone.

Building My Wings 222/365
If we listened to our intellect we'd never have a love affair. We'd never have a friendship. We'd never go in business because we'd be cynical: "It's gonna go wrong." Or "She's going to hurt me." Or, "I've had a couple of bad love affairs, so therefore..." Well, that's nonsense. You're going to miss life. You've got to jump off the cliff all the time and build your wings on the way down.
- Ray Bradbury
This is the hill that I tried to climb on Day 200, but it was so windy I bailed! Well - as you can see - today I made it!!! Accompanied by my lovely friend Amy, we climbed what must have been the steepest hill to ever exist (it felt like we were climbing a wall at times!) and got to the top! This was by far the scariest shoot in this whole project - there was so much dress, one wrong move and I was done for! But hey - I'd have just built my wings on the way down, right?! ;)

A serene photograph of the Huntington Library captures its grandeur framed by manicured gardens, classical architecture, and sunlit skies. The image shows the Beaux-Arts-style building standing proudly amidst the lush greenery of San Marino, California, with visitors strolling along its stone pathways. The contrast between the formal structure and the soft natural surroundings conveys a sense of harmony between art, knowledge, and nature—a core philosophy behind the Huntington’s founding vision.
The Huntington Library, Art Museum, and Botanical Gardens was established in 1919 by Henry E. Huntington, a railroad magnate and avid collector of rare books and art. What began as a private estate gradually transformed into one of the most important cultural and research institutions in the United States. The library houses millions of rare manuscripts, including a Gutenberg Bible and early editions of Shakespeare’s works, while the adjoining galleries contain works by Thomas Gainsborough, Mary Cassatt, and other masters.
Its significance lies not only in its preservation of historic texts and artwork but also in its role as a vibrant center for education and scholarship. With its stunning botanical gardens featuring collections from Japan, China, the desert, and beyond, the Huntington offers a multidisciplinary experience that attracts researchers, historians, and casual visitors alike. This photograph captures a timeless moment within a space that continues to bridge the past and present through beauty, intellect, and cultural legacy.
He is watching US !! Us, his admirers, who are watching him with awe!! He, behind the bars, we, outside them…
He is serene and royal !!! Imperial!!
Animals have not the human intellect, but they have feelings!! And the power to live in the here and now ! So, he is serene, because he is healthy and feels good, even surrounded by so many human admirers! And he is not sad, because he thinks neither of his past nor of his future…
~Oscar Wilde
This is probably my favorite quote of all time, well at least, a variation on it. I first heard it in college when my best friend told me I should always "Expect the unexpected", and there really is no arguing with him! Even now, when something kind of crazy or really out of the ordinary happens, I think back to these words.
So back to the HDRs now! I took a few sets over the past couple days. This one is from the Waterfront, just outside of Pittsburgh. There is one of those big movie theatres, and tons of little shops and stores.
Enjoy your week my friends!
I don't mind invitations, but please no big, shiny, flashing, glitter graphics, they will be deleted. Also, please contact me if you would like to use my pictures for any reason. Thanks!

Have you introduced your intellect to your compassion yet? Be careful; lately, intellect has taken to eating in front of the TV and compassion has taken in too many cats :-)

Name:Roboy
Powers: Flight, Heat Blasts, Invulnerability, Immortality, Heat Vision, Extreme Intellect.
Weaknesses: No sense of humor, has a limited battery power, is vulnerable to electricity.
Origin: The computer program "Roboy" was created by the First Guardian (a cosmic being sworn to protect the Earth) when the Craniad attempted to enslave humanity. As Roboy was meant to protect the entire planet, the First built him with many different defense mechanisms. Roboy can launch heat days from his eyes and hands, is invulnerable (he can transfer his program to a different machine if his body is destroyed), and extremely intelligent, able to access any information almost instantaneously on the internet (though this is not possible if there is no Wifi connection). Roboy joined the Stupendous Seven after the Craniad was driven off. Although he is arguably the most powerful member of the team, Roboy does not understand modern slang and expressions, making him a pain to communicate with.
Whew! Only one more to go! :D
The magistrate Sétiziat (1757-1847) was David’s brother-in-law and friend. The tone is informal, and the background deliberately appears unfinished - an extensions of traditional technique, used in a novel manner. David rejected uniform finish on artistic and moral principles: high finish was unnecessary, carrying with it the suspicion of appealing to the senses, rather than the intellect. This is an early example of David’s Spartan aesthetic, which would become more pronounced with time, as his view of Art was influenced by the politics of the French revolution and its calls for political and moral reform.

Friday is fish & chip night! Hooray! Today was awesome. I am so glad I am taking art this year, i am trying so many new things like drawing and painting and having so much fun. A girl from my school has lent me her Banksy book, she's so lovely, and today in psychology Mr Brown asked to see it and we spent the entire lesson looking through it! No work whatsoever! What a great day!!
See the before, during and after post production on mine and Aaron's blog!

Virtue most valued; Precision
For a Protector, every day is frought with weighty decisions and consequences weightier still. Avaat is a superb tactician who elects to see her world in numbers. Stoic and measured, Avaat is often taken for uncaring or cold, but those who know her well know better - Avaat cares greatly for her people and feels the impact of the choices she makes. The reigon of water is one of the safest places on Okoto due to her intellect and foresight.
---------------------------------------------
I love the 2015 water colours. How much? Much.
Avaat's theme is a gargoyle/demon. Posing her was not easy. I have a soft spot for Avaat since it was the first of the six that really came together, and convinced me to keep trying to get the others right. Also, water is my favourite bionicle element without competition.
Thanks for looking! Tomorrow I'm probably going to post a group shot and some of my thoughts.
To be come a Space Marine in the Classic Space Coalition, one must go through grueling tests of strength, durability, intellect and fearlessness. To test recruits, the CLC throws every Space Marine wannabe into their Super Realistic Simulation Room. This room can simulate sight, sound, smell, and most amazingly, touch. Built into the the test suits are vibration packs that simulate an attack. Its the only way to ensure that the recruits will be battle ready before actually going into battle.
Well, besides shared dreaming, but that's far less stable...
“Theologians call faith a sure but obscure habit (habitus) of the soul;” obscure, because “it brings us to believe divinely revealed truths that transcend every natural light and infinitely exceed all human understanding. As a result, the excessive light of faith bestowed on a soul is darkness for it; a brighter light will eclipse and suppress a dimmer one.” “So the light of faith suppresses and overwhelms that of the intellect through its abundance. For the intellect, by its own power, extends only to natural knowledge.”

~ Anne of Green Gables

One of my favorite quotes from one of my favorite movies of all time. I grew up watching Anne of Green Gables and Anne of Avonlea. The heroine in this series is an orphan girl name Anne Shirley. I just love her unyielding spirit, her wit and intellect, her perserverence and determination, and her outlook on life ;). "Tomorrow is always fresh...with no mistakes in it".

Typically Giant Kelp grows offshore in masses called kelp forests. But this (and some others nearby) are attached and growing in the intertidal. Apparently it has been known as a very similar species, Macrocystis integrifolia, which grows in the intertidal as well. Recently that species has been combined into M. pyrifera.
"It is hard for us as humans to imagine such an existence [life in the intertidal]. We cannot begin to place ourselves in such a dualistic, changing world where the basic fabric of life, the ocean, is pulled away and floods back in twice each day. It is beyond our comprehension. And this, to me, is exhilirating. It is my meaning of wild: a state our human intellect cannot quite comprehend."--Josie Iselin, The Curious World of Seaweed
“Yet across the gulf of space, minds that are to our minds as ours are to those of the beasts that perish, intellects vast and cool and unsympathetic, regarded this earth with envious eyes, and slowly and surely drew their plans against us.”

30 Days of Perception - Day 4
Using my senses, my intellect and my emotions to perceive what is before me. Allowing myself to be lost in my first perception of what I see.
No need to ask, or even to know what this is, just enjoy the sensations it evokes!

It's said that a picture of a mam's face captures his true character and intellect.

Is this man really fit to be the President of the United States ?
~ Lost Century from My Way of Seeing ~
The time when we discovered power of lenses and taking pictures. When intellect and art were priced. From century we didn't know about pixels and cell phone, but we did real art.
We people did art, which is still basic point to start, to vague art till now.
Century that was inspiration.
I did this in studio.
Thank you M.J.U.
The first of three addendum shots for the Super Scum series. Depicted are perhaps the two most recognizable costume variations of Brainiac, one of Superman’s most dangerous enemies and a veritable comic book icon in his own right. It’s funny how I chose to include parka Brainiac in the main Super Scum series over these guys; Magneto Eradicator too. Foreshadowing for the next addendum...
Fig formulas:
Silver Age Brainiac: Brainiac head, Parasite torso and arms, S13 Snake Charmer legs
Modern Age Brainiac: Brainiac head and torso, S11 Evil mech arms, Alien Conquest hips, Lego Batman 3 game-accurate gun
Viceroy Kollorak. Ghorax's right hand. This colossal beast is not only powerful, but possesses Toa-level intellect. Mastermind of the horde, Kollorak enforces Ghorax's will with frightening efficiency. He has three different spinners: the Loyalty spinner, which allows him to assume direct control of any Visorak, the Deprivation spinner, which shuts down all of the target's senses, and the dreaded Darkness spinner, which can trap the unlucky target in the Field of Shadows.
Passion, dullness, fury, sadness,
or fear should not always be owned.
They are short circumstances for now,
for the human intellect when at loss.
There are days as it comes and goes,
nothing that shifts on and off will remain.

This piece of art is called "Animal palace" and is made by artist Stina Folkebrant.
The column comes from the old "Animal Palace" that existed at the time when humans lived in communion with animals.
The animals on the column have a symbolism.
The beaver symbolizes the subconscious and emotions.
The squirrel stands for creativity, the inventive and playful.
The crow symbolizes the intellect, to use the brain as a tool.
The hazel mouse is like the bloodstream, constantly in motion.
The adder symbolizes change and transformation.
The sculpture is made of wood and outdoor acrylic paint and is three meters high. It can be seen in Ängelsberg sculpture park.
