light in motion
the whole and the parts...
one winter morning I noticed how the sun was placed within the branches of this kowhai tree... and how the birds flew there... in and out of the circle of light... creating a space between feathers sunlight and silhouette... and an idea grew.. that maybe I'd be able to catch this combination of elements... find the moment of wholeness... the gestalt... between brightness and shadow and movement... the celestial journey of the sun, the slow language of the tree, and the flitting of a bird...
an ongoing practice in hope and patience :-)
I'm still feeling quiet... please feel free to be here in words or in silence too.
otherness/relatedness
even in the back yard
worlds interwoven
whether quietly or in words
thank you very much for the company here!
and happy free from fences friday
(it starts early on this side of the planet :-)
close to the earth
interwoven
nestled
we learn
the language of trees
in our sleep
worn like a cloak
of syllables, metaphors,
wings
that carry a sentence
of song
and light
into our dreams
****************************
A very big and sincere THANK YOU for the company, support, inspiration and kindness that I've had the unexpected good luck to find here.
I'm truly sorry not to be so active lately. Alas energy is a fragile thing, and there is, so far, only one of me. I'm working on that ;-)
Catch you in the stream soon :-)

The Curtain Fig National Park is a national park on the Atherton Tableland near Yngabarra in Far North Queensland, Australia. Its most valued features are its once regionally common, now endangered Mabi forests including a huge strangler fig known as the Curtain Fig Tree. (Wikipedia)
The Curtain Fig tree is unique because the extensive aerial roots, that drop 15m to the forest floor, have formed a ‘curtain’. Starting from a seed dropped high in the canopy, this strangler fig grew vertical roots, which gradually became thicker and interwoven. Over hundreds of years these roots have strangled the host causing it to fall into a neighbouring tree—a stage unique to the development of this fig. Vertical fig roots then formed a curtain-like appearance and the host trees rotted away, leaving the freestanding fig tree. The tree is thought to be nearly 50m tall, with a trunk circumference of 39m, and is estimated to be over 500 years old. (parks.des.qld.gov.au/parks/curtain-fig/about)
--------------
It's hard to imagine just how huge this tree really is. It houses all sorts of animals and birds, including a rare tree kangaroo. We went for a night walk around the tree and were rewarded with a brief look at a possum. The actual species of the tree is White Fig (Ficus virens).

The Raphael Loggias in the Winter Palace are copies of the famous gallery created during the 16th century in the Vatican Palace by Raphael Sanzio da Urbino (1483-1520). The Hermitage Gallery was created at the behest of Catherine II. The vaults of this gallery are decorated with paintings based upon Biblical stories, and the walls are covered with human and animal forms interwoven with flowers and foliage.

YAKURO – VOICES OF INFINITY
Sometimes I am good; sometimes I'm not
there is more than one side to us all
more than one version of the truth
more than one way in which we all can fall
I cannot divide my from self
me myself and I; we are all here
hidden beneath the mask I wear
the silvered battle scars still shine
my face a blank canvas does not show how much I care
does not show anything in fact
no lines; no frown and even more strange and rare
sometimes I smile
my face lights up like the sun
my blue eyes sparkle with diamonds expertly cut;
my golden hair upswept in untidy bun
I am a spirit of the sea
a mermaid gasping for air on land
grasping for the knowledge that I found
that I evolved from the most loving hand
a little dragon escapes from me
traces the pattern of my clothes
mimics the most vivid true colours of me
scattering rainbows on those below
I carry the heaviest and deepest sorrow
it weighs me down; rolls with me far into tomorrow
catches my breath and stills my words
the silence falls down like the night; the birds
sing only before the dawn and then
they too fall silent and let the rain
beat down on me and invariably I feel the pain
rise upwards in my beating chest
it will not leave me; I cannot rest
voices of infinity reach me
hold me spellbound in bitter sweet embrace
back to back I face myself
through a glass darkly; interwoven; interlaced
they leave their mark without a trace
carry me to a mournful place
beneath the forest canopy
lay me down between the lumber
steeped in dreams; deep in slumber
there I lie and there I'm found
my bones; my blood seeped into family tree roots underground
no-one to weep except the angels
no-one to mourn the loss of me
I am long gone to where no amount of sorrow
can reach me now; I am what we all inevitably will become
I am where there is nothing left and no tomorrow.

It was a bit nippy out yesterday and was chasing some mist (which I really didn't catch up with) but still nice to have a wander in Hillock Wood. Love the ice interwoven with the leaves in this as well as the colours. Enjoy!
I cherish this image probably not because of my Christian background but because of the immediacy it projects. The sculpture is just superb with the red scarf, directing our attention to the prominent features, which contrasted so vividly with the blue column behind; the delicate lines of her fingers, and the crossing of her arms as a pivot, interwoven so well with the curving columns in the background all pointing to Heaven; and the whole sculpture is so neatly placed on top of a golden triangular stage etc. Having spent insufficient time on Michelangelo, Henry Moore or Rodin, somehow I find this one to be more enchanting or even mesmerizing...

Been watching a lot of my old favorite 80s high fantasy movies like Highlander this week in anticipation of Enchantment's Sword and Sorcery Shopping Event which opened on Friday, Feb 10th!
I'm wearing a tail applier from my newest ((Krature)) collection. This one is the Stone (With Moss) applier for Petrichor's Valenne tail. Its a full materials enabled design with different kinds of stone interwoven with scales - all covered with a nice layer of slimy lichen to give the illusion of a stone statue come to life! This tail really shines under advanced lighting and makes for a cool underwater illusion when swimming about.
I'm also rocking OLD TREASURES new BLACKFYRE SWORD, which is also on sale at the event right now!
My 80s hero shape was designed and styled by [Arcane]. I love the work - check them out and enquire for custom shapes.

The area around St Just, Pendeen and Morvah in Penwith in Cornwall, is known as the Tin Coast. This is the place where people and the landscape are interwoven with the industrial past of tin mining. It is designated an area of outstanding natural beauty and a world heritage site. This shot was taken from Pendeen lighthouse and shows the cliffs and industrial architecture remaining on the edge of the land.
Osprey. Just emerging from a dive into the ocean. This bird often catches fish by diving with its wings half closed and claws stretched forward, disappearing under the water in a great spray
carries its catch headfirst in flight, usually using both feet to hold the fish. Builds a nest that is an immense mass of dried branches, interwoven with materials such as stakes, rope, strips of old cloth, plastic, and even caribou antlers. They can live for 15 to 20 years, and one individual was known to survive to age 35. IMG_8997

WINGS - BIRDY
THE WINGS OF SUMMER DAYS
The wings of Summer days
fly so high and white
above the clouds of all desire
that part within and wait for you
the feathers softly holding
all our dreams together
interwoven like our lives
since before we even knew
that we had been so close
for all this time
through childhood days
and inbetween
the cracks we slipped
and fell between and cracked
our shins in childish games
where fast bowls; wickets
and to and fro runs
exhausted us
and stained our whites
with grass so green
our clothes too big
and hand-me-downs
with shoes that made
our feet like clowns
our laughs and cries
our lows and highs
returning now
to the missed sighs
of how we used to live our lives
side by side
like conjoined twins
so close and yet so far between
our eyes scarce met
but once upon
a time when I was with
a boy of mine
I think his name was much the same as yours
he emigrated to Australia
but I never heard from him
and then we found each other
though we were never hidden
and from the start
we acted like it was forbidden
why did we do that I question now
it made it more exciting
fraught with difficulties somehow
and we had both experienced this
so maybe we thought
this was how it was
but everywhere we went
we were found
and how we laughed
and loved the frowns
It was after all part of the fun
our joint adventure had then begun
Such a shame it didn't last
but that's the trouble with the past
it catches up with us all somehow
but we made memories and they're still here
burned in my mind with many a tear
but mostly joy and wondrous
illustrious stories that were a part of us.

project with a tribute to connecting with others.
Communication is merely an exchange of information, but connection is an exchange of our humanity.
Sean Stephenson
Everything you do has an impact. Who you are – that you are – actually matters. In an interconnected world (the only kind we have), our actions and the actions of others are inextricably linked- we are always and forever in a dance of mutual influence with those with whom we directly and indirectly participate. It is the unavoidable reality of being social creatures, only magnified by an ever-increasingly complex and interwoven societal structure. We matter to each other.
Paul Greiner
Share your knowledge. It’s a way to achieve immortality. One learns so much just from living a lifetime. Share that knowledge with the people you come across, it can only help them in their journeys. Even more important, share your failures so that others will not repeat them. Jordan Lejuwaan
Thank you for your kind visit. Have a wonderful and beautiful day! ❤️ ❤️ ❤️
Photo 1 From the Nashville Series
THE HISTORY OF CHEEKWOOD
The history and origin of Cheekwood are intimately interwoven with the growth of Nashville, the Maxwell House coffee brand and the Cheeks, one of the city's early entrepreneurial families.
Christopher T. Cheek moved to Nashville in the 1880's and founded a wholesale grocery business. His son, Leslie Cheek, joined him as a partner.
In 1896, Leslie Cheek married Mabel Wood of Clarksville, Tennessee. Their son, Leslie Jr., was born in 1908 and their daughter, Huldah, in 1915. By that year, Leslie Cheek was president of the family firm.
GOOD TO THE LAST DROP
During these same years, the elder Cheeks cousin, Joel Cheek, developed a superior blend of coffee that was marketed through the best hotel in Nashville, the Maxwell House. His extended family, including Leslie and Mabel Cheek, were investors. In 1928, Postum (now General Foods) purchased Maxwell House's parent company, Cheek-Neal Coffee, for more than $40 million.
With their income secured by the proceeds from the sale, the Cheeks bought 100 acres of what was then woodland in West Nashville for a country estate. To design and build the house and grounds, they hired New York residential and landscape architect, Bryant Fleming, and gave him control over every detail - from landscaping to interior furnishings. The result was a limestone mansion and extensive formal gardens inspired by the grand English houses of the 18th century. Fleming's masterpiece, Cheekwood, was completed in 1932.
"The good, the bad, hardship, joy, tragedy, love , and happiness are all interwoven into one indescribable whole that one calls life. You cannot separate the good from the bad, and perhaps there is no need to do so." --Jacqueline Bouvier Kennedy Onassis
Soft whispers dance where sunlight weaves,
Through tender folds of pretty leaves.
Newborn green on every tree,
A song of life and liberty.
Each leaf a promise, bright and true,
That spring has come — the world anew.
- Raaen99 (your humble photographer).
The theme for “Smile on Saturday” for the 25th of October is “bokeh in green”. One of the wonderful things about spring here is the sudden burst of fresh greenery on the trees, and a second thing is the wonderful light at this time of year. The two combined make for a perfect photo for the theme this week. This photograph is taken in my rear garden in the morning, and features leaves from one of my James Stirling Pittosporum trees which is interwoven with asparagus fern. Together with the spring sunlight they have created a wonderful world of bokeh in green. I hope you like my choice for this week's theme, and that it makes you smile!
The "James Stirling" is a cultivar of the Pittosporum tenuifolium tree, also known as a Kohuhu. It is a fast-growing, evergreen shrub or small tree that features silvery-green, wavy leaves on blackish-purple stems and is commonly used for hedging and screening.
Monument for the Austrian Biedermeier novelist in the Türkenschanzpark in Vienna
Adalbert Stifter's work was and is admired by many and disliked by many others. The latter, to which I also belong, find Stifter's style too rambling and the constant interwoven depictions of nature, the depictions of nature along the way, so to speak, too excessive, since they do not simply decelerate the plot, but regularly bring it almost to a standstill.
However, I find it very fitting that in front of this monument there is this beautiful piece of nature, this flower meadow.

Per costruirla Guarino Guarini fu chiamato a Torino nel 1666 dal proprio ordine dei Teatini, che aveva avuto in dono dai duchi il prestigioso lotto di terreno affacciato sulla piazza castello, sull'angolo del taglio della "contrada nova vitozziana" di via Palazzo di Città. Sul piccolo lotto Guarini impostò una architettura statisticamente e morfologicamente prodigiosa a pianta centrale con lati concavi - convessi, alto tamburo a volta ad arconi intrecciati che filtra la luce con effetto spettacolare.
La decorazione interna è in marmi policromi.
La chiesa è preceduta dall'Oratorio dell'Addolorata nello spazio originario a portico. La facciata barocca testimoniata dalla incisione dei "Dissegni di architettura civile ed ecclesiastica" dello stesso Guarini, non fu costruita, prevalendo la norma urbanistica ducale della uniformità architettonica voluta per la piazza.

To build it Guarino Guarini was called to Turin in 1666 by his own order of the Theatines, who had been given the prestigious plot of land overlooking the piazza castello, on the corner of the "contrada nova vitozziana" in via Palazzo di Città as a gift from the dukes. On the small lot Guarini set a statistically and morphologically prodigious architecture with a central plan with concave - convex sides, a high vaulted drum with interwoven arches that filters the light with a spectacular effect.
The internal decoration is in polychrome marble.
The church is preceded by the Oratory of the Addolorata in the original porticoed space. The Baroque façade, testified by the engraving of Guarini's "Drawings of civil and ecclesiastical architecture", was not built, prevailing the ducal urban planning norm of the architectural uniformity desired for the square.

poem by Julio Cortazar
I feel myself dying in you, overtaken by expanding
spaces, which feed on me just like hungry butterflies.
I close my eyes and I’m laid out in your memory, barely alive,
with my mouth wide open and the river of oblivion rising.
And you, patiently, with needle-nosed pliers, pul out
my teeth, my eyelashes, you strip
the clover from my voice, the shade from my desire,
you open up windows of space in my name
and blue holes in my chest
through which the summers rush out in mourning.
Transparent, sharpened, interwoven with air
I float in a drowse, and still
I say your name and wake you, anguished.
But you force yourself to forget me,
and I’m barely a bubble
reflecting you, which you’ll burst
with the blink of an eye.
I often fold just little tessellations to remember the idea, like this one. Looking for a name I counted the 'bigger' triangles (the ones made of four tiny grid-triangles.
You see just one tessellation, backlighting the front (in green) and backside (in blue).
Left upper frontside is the beginning and left down its backside.
On the right side the two result after altering (adding more folds).
Right upper the frontside and right down its backside.
I hope you see also the three flowers closely interwoven with each other in the upper right (green) ;-))
Folded from a hexagon 15cm glassine. grid 1:32".
If you are interested to see more, have a look at my tessellation album Origami - Tessellation Progression".
Some give it two years; others say, half a year. The latest estimate is three months, at most ...

Many music lovers find Horowitz and Martha Argerich spellbinding, yea, they are exciting but somehow I don't return to them often. Instead I would revisit Samuil Feinberg's Well-tempered Clavier from time to time. Needless to say, Mieczyslaw Horzowski and Maria Yudina's Bach are very inspiring too, particularly so for those who miss the chance of going to the Church:

Last but not the least, Brigitte Engerer who went the opposite direction of Magaloff who was first trained in Russia (by Siloti, Francis Lizst pupil, Rachmaninoff's cousin/mentor and assistant to Tchaikovsky ) ended up studying in France. Brigitte Engerer was first trained in France having won the first prize in Concours International Marguerite Long-Jacques Thibaud. She furthered her studies in Russia under Stanislav Heuhaus for 9 years:

I further stumbled into Edwin Fischer's WTC recorded in 1933-36 which I haven't gone through as yet. But Edwin Fischer, unlike his pupil Alfred Brendel, is almost always interesting despite his slips :
www.youtube.com/watch?v=JysTlgUXuXk
Later on, we have Samuil Feinberg whom most serious pianists view as the best recorded WTC ever. After Feinberg, we have Tatiana Nikolayeva whose WTC ( www.youtube.com/watch?v=sNpwAZf6thY&t=72s ) is so fascinating. And then we have Evelyne Crochet, a more modern French reading of WTC and before her Walter Gieseking also recorded WTC. In between, I find Horszowski's WTC celestial. Wilhelm Kempff's WTC is appealing albeit in a totally different way from Yudin. But I'm unable to find the whole book of WTC from the latter two in record. Instead we have one from Canada and another lady pianist from US who was musically educated in Russia. Personally, I don't spend much time on the latter two. Oh, yes, Richter and Gulda recorded WTC as well. But it seems Bach music is so interwoven with spirituality, and by nature it snubs any showmanship at all...
CASTLE STALKER
Two of the most fascinating and romantic things are castles and islands. Now imagine a place that is a combination of both of those things! That place is the four-storey tower called Castle Stalker, situated off the beautiful West Coast of Scotland.
Introduction to Castle Stalker
Sitting proudly on a rocky outcrop surrounded by water, Castle Stalker is in a tidal islet called Loch Laich – off Loch Linnhe – not far from Port Appin, Argyll. It is a stunning sight.
When the tide is out it is possible to walk to the fort house but this is not recommended in case you get caught by the incoming waters!
The Castle is believed to have its origins in a small residential fort built in 1320 and used by the MacDougalls who were the Lords of Lorn. In about 1388 this title and the lands that included the castle were given to Stewarts. The Castle you see today owes its character to Sir John Stewart when he was Lord of Lorn around the 1440s. This was a Scottish family interwoven with the bloody and often tragic clan wars of that time. Among the local tales is the story of a baby, Donald Stewart, hidden in the Castle by a nurse to save his life during an incident in 1520.
Another feature of its intriguing history is that around 1620 the Castle was lost in a drunken wager and became the property of the Campbells of Airds, though it was reclaimed and then lost again by the Stewarts shortly after!
When the Campbells built a new house on the mainland at Airds in the 1800s (which is still there) the castle became a storehouse, before being abandoned and neglected. However, in 1908 it was bought by Charles Stewart of Achara – so coming back to the Stewarts yet again – who carried out preservation work to stop its decline.
Successive generations of the Stewart family have restored and protected this truly unique Scottish castle.
