This origami Rose is invented by Toshikazu Kawasaki. He is a Japanese origami designer, who is known for his geometrically innovative models. He is particularly famous for his series of fourfold symmetry origami "roses", all based on a twisting maneuver that allows the petals to seem to curl out from the center of the flower.

It is one of the most beautiful roses ever designed and has inspired many other. I folded this famous model many, many years ago, but never made a photo of it, so I folded it again ;-)

MOVING LANDSCAPES

  

Mr Wilde has said that sunsets are out of fashion. This defect

could undoubtedly be covered

up if landscapes constantly moved around. The fact of seeing a

landscape in the same place

- is necessarily boring. The contrary would be charming. And

spectacular. A cluster of

trees migrating under the sky. Or a tree going on its way to the

jungle - alone -straight-

on its countless little, white legs.

 

But then people would invent cages to trap landscapes. and a

landscape in a cage can't feel

very happy.

Occasionally, I have fun reusing a pose, just to see if I can come up with something that has a completely different feel. This is one of those times.

 

Elysion's Cirque du Reves event was recently, and I was inspired to make an outfit for the event, as well! It was such a lovely event, I do hope they have more!

 

It's perfect, as there was so much new stuff that fit perfectly.

 

The Avenue has some wonderful stuff from Zibska! The Yingtai decoration, along with the blush and lipstick are striking with the Aceri eyemakeup that came out for the event! Grab it before it's gone! The headpiece is unrigged, so you can have fun with some of the falling petals, like I did!

 

Azoury's Cyrus Boots seriously made me excited the moment I saw the ad. I couldn't wait to get them. Grab them at Cosmopolitan before the next one!

Measuring 46 feet across and spanning the length of the gallery’s wall, the monumental Joystick is an ode to Rosenquist’s love of flying. Based on reflections from a mirrored cylinder, packed with gyrating forms that move at incredible speed, the space of Joystick is invented, abstract, and wholly optical. “The priority for me is visual invention and, really, content is secondary,” Rosenquist told the late art historian Robert Rosenblum. By contrast, the central expanse of The Geometry of Fire is a reflection of real space. Painted after a devastating fire destroyed the artist’s Florida studio, the 25 foot long picture depicts the wildness of fire on the left and the destruction it causes, seen in the melting, exploding hub caps on the right. At the picture’s center is the mysterious cosmos, populated with the galaxies, star showers and black holes that became the subject of Rosenquist’s last paintings.

One of the most interesting art books I have purchased recently is Tula Telfair's "Invented Landscapes" (Abrams, 2016).

www.tulatelfair.com/

 

Telfair was raised in Gabon, Africa, and then traveled with her family to Asia and Europe before moving to the United States of America. She is currently a professor of art at Wesleyan University, and her work is gaining widespread recognition.

 

Her painting is very photographic. So much so that the bookshop where I bought the book had placed it in their photography section. The amazing thing though, is that every landscape comes directly from her memories and imaginative reconstruction. She never paints from actual scenes. As Henry Adams puts it in the introduction to her book, "One might think of Telfair as a novelist in paint." I heartily recommend her work.

 

The only link between my collage of Greens Beach seascapes and Telfair is that I have borrowed her idea of placing panoramic images in parallel. Here's an example:

How must it feel when you discover or invent something that bears your name forever? Well, only very few of us will be able to find out for ourselves (it's a pity).

One person who managed to do this, however, was the French painter Jacques Majorelle, in whose former garden we are here and in which, by the way, his studio was also located. His invention, if one may say so, perhaps his creation, was a color that is present everywhere here, Majorelle blue. And even if his works have been somewhat forgotten in the meantime, everyone remembers his name because of this park here.

However, this is not really, or only partially, due to Monsieur Majorelle himself, but to the famous person who bought the park in 1980, in a rather dilapidated state, and restored it to its former glory, the famous French fashion designer Yves Saint-Laurent. This name, which is known worldwide, attracts around 850,000 visitors a year, making the Jardin Majorelle one of the most popular sights in all of Morocco.

 

Wie muss sich das wohl anfühlen, wenn du etwas entdeckst oder erfindest, was danach für alle Zeiten deinen Namen trägt? Nun, das selbst heraus zu finden wird wohl nur den Wenigsten von uns wirklich möglich sein (schade eigentlich).

Einer, dem dies jedoch gelungen ist war der französische Maler Jacques Majorelle, in dessen ehemaligen Garten wir uns hier befinden und in dem sich übrigens auch sein Attelier befand. Seine Erfindung, wenn man es so sagen darf, besser vielleicht seine Kreation, war eine Farbe, die hier überall präsent ist, das Majorelle Blau. Und auch wenn seine Werke inzwischen etwas in Vergessenheit geraten sind, an seinen Namen erinnert sich, wegen diesem Park hier, jeder.

Das liegt jedoch nicht wirklich, oder nur begrenzt an Monsieur Majorelle selbst, sondern an der berühmten Person, die den Park 1980, in ziemlich verwahrlostem Zustand, erworben und wieder zum alten Glanz gebracht hat, dem berühmtem französischen Modeschöpfer Yves Saint-Laurent. Dieser Name, der weltweit bekannt ist, lockt jährlich ca. 850.000 Besucher an und macht damit den Jardin Majorelle zu einer der beliebtesten Sehenswürdigkeiten von ganz Marokko.

The simple act of the spider weaving a star

in the gloom,

the elastic step of the cat towards the butterfly,

the hand that slides down the warm back of the horse,

the sidereal smell of the coffee flower,

the blue taste of vanilla,

they stop me at the bottom of the day.

There is a concave glow of ferns,

an Insect Resonance,

a changing presence of water in the stone corners.

I recognize here my age made of wild sounds,

of orchid fire,

of warm forest space,

where the woodpecker chimes the time.

Here the sunset invents a red rhinestones,

a constellation of fireflies,

a fall of lucid leaves towards the senses,

towards the end of the day,

where my free bones are enchanted.

I have to admit that staying away from photography (for different non-reasons invented by me ...) for almost a year was not a good idea at all. Felt like I was discovering the camera for the first time. All the processes took me forever: taking out the camera, figure it out which lens is better to use in different situations, making all the adjustments ... wow ... :). And the results are terrific :(... Well, I have to prepare better for my next trip and hopefully I will have some decent photos.

During the colonial era in Africa, occupied by Europated in what is known as the "Horn of Africaean nations, there were two Somalias. One loc" and belonging to Italy, the so-called Italian Somalia. To the north of it, France colonized a small territory known as French Somalia, which when it gained independence from France was renamed Yibuti in French or Djibouti in Arabic. It is a little-known country, despite the great beauty and diversity of its landscapes. Plenty of desert, volcanic landscapes, slightly mountainous areas, landscapes of ancient volcanic lava flows mixed with arid or desert areas, extinct volcanoes, lakes like Lake Assal, the saltiest lake in the world, located 155 meters below sea level. Or an enormous variety of marine landscapes, mixed with volcanic landscapes and white sand beaches. Being such a small country, the variety of landscapes is immense; it's like a tiny representation of the entire planet concentrated in a small place. In the south of the country lies the Grand Bara Desert, a mixture of desert and extremely arid areas. The Grand Bara Desert was formed from the remains of dry lakebeds that were once lakes, and is now completely arid plains in central and southern Djibouti. In the south of the Grand Bara Desert lies the Goba'ad region and the Grand Bara Depression. The Goba'ad is a plain with narrow "wadi," the Arabic term used to refer to dry channels or ephemeral rivers that only have water during the two or three months of intense rainfall, typical of desert areas. In the south of the Grand Bara Desert, this occurs from late June to September... after which... the rain stops. Rainfall is scarce in Djibouti, and the interior of the country is very hot and dry, so most of the territory is desert or semi-desert. The Goba'ad is located between the Hanle Plain and Lake Abbe, the saltiest lake in the world. The Goba'ad plain and the arid depression of the Grand Bara separate the volcanic zone in this region from the arid zone. The volcanic part of the landscape is formed by extinct lava flows that flowed through these areas from the now-extinct northern volcanoes in past millennia. This clearly defines and clearly distinguishes both the arid and volcanic zones. During the rainy season, water flows across the divide between the two separate zones, or else it follows the path formed by the extinct volcanic lava flows, eroding them and transforming them into an increasingly smooth surface. In contrast, in the arid zone, the clay that makes up this area is poorly drained and sometimes water accumulates during the rainy season, giving rise to the ephemeral growth of some scattered grass or bushes... and very little else... rather little... little...

Nujabes was a Japanese musician and DJ, well-known in his country but somewhat less so abroad due to his short discography and his untimely death. His name was Jun Seba, a first and last name he combined, written in reverse order in Japanese, to create his own anagram: Nujabes. His music had a touch of melancholy and nostalgia. What I value most about him is his enormous ability and creativity to blend musical genres as distant as hip hop and jazz. I also liked the "character" Nujabes, especially his reflections on creativity and love. One of Nujabes's best-known songs is titled "Aruarian." This word has no translation into any language, nor is it officially recognized by the linguistic institutions that regulate the different languages of each country. However, it is included in so-called "urban dictionaries." The word was coined and invented by Nujabes in relation to his reflections on love. The word has a meaning that goes far beyond what is conventionally known as "love." The meaning of "Aruarian" is that of a very deep, almost instinctive connection with another person. A "cavernous love" that one feels for someone without any reason, logic, or motive. Once, reading an interview with Nujabes in a Japanese music magazine, I was surprised to read what he felt when he walked through Shibuya, a well-known area of Tokyo that is always crowded with people, bustling with activity, and fast metropolitan highways. He explained that when he walked through Shibuya, he felt like he was walking through a desert where there was nothing and no one. I suppose everyone who lives in large metropolises has experienced this feeling at some point: feeling surrounded by so many people and yet feeling so alone and misunderstood in life. From today on, these hundreds of square kilometers of the Grand Bara Desert will be called the Little Nujabes Desert. I don't think any Djiboutian would be bothered by a symbolic change of name for this small patch of desert, where there is nothing and no one. So Nujabes can continue wandering alone through these desert places in search of a "cavernous" and profound love, and sleep and rest forever. I'm not going to ask Google Maps to include this name on its satellite map... It's enough for me that it's called this way, in a unique and symbolic way for me... the "Little Nujabes Desert." In 2010, right in the Shibuya area of Tokyo, on one of its fast-moving metropolitan highways, Nujabes had a very serious traffic accident, dying at the age of 36... losing his life, his search for Aruarian, his walks through the Shibuya desert... and forever losing an entire life yet to be lived.

Invento os dias e já deles vivo,

ainda que se demorem

para minha tão grande pressa.

O amor é já minha premência,

meu abandono e a saudade do que virá e

meus olhos intentam enxergar

no recôndito deserto dessa solidão.

E já tudo acontece

e me transformo em cais urgente,

em rumor de primavera, seiva fremente

à sua espera,

sombra do amor que a tudo transfigura,

ainda que habite em névoas,

em tudo que só existe em meus sonhos.

 

Obrigada pelas visitas =)

Es Anatole France,... quien sostiene que debemos reconocer de una vez por todas que "tras haber fracasado en el intento por mantenernos en paz con nosotros mismos, ya solamente podemos hablar de nosotros mismos".

...sostuvo que no existían normas ni principios, lo cual bien pudiera ser verdad. Las normas, los principios y los criterios mueren o desaparecen a diario. Tal vez, a estas horas ya estén todos muertos, ya hayan desaparecido todos. Más que nunca, ésta es una época valerosa y libre en la que se han destruido los hitos que marcaban la tierra, en tanto las mentes de más ingenio se afanan por inventar nuevos faros que, consuela pensar, no tardarán en levantarse en los antiguos lugares.

Eratosthenes was a Greek scholar living in the third century B.C. He invented the discipline of Geography and, for a while, was the head librarian of the ancient Library of Alexandria. He is known for having calculated the circumference of the earth. By the way, the fact that our planet was a sphere had been known for centuries. New was that Eratosthenes was able to measure its true size. What you see here is the essence of his method:

1. Select two locations on the same meridional line (Alexandria and Aswan)

2. Erect a vertical measuring pole in each of the two locations.

3. Define the accurate distance between the two (800 km).

4. Measure the length of the poles' shade in both places at exactly the same moment (noon at the summer solstice).

5. The fact that there was a shade in one place only (Alexandria) meant that the surface of the earth was curved.

6. Measuring the exact angle the shade produced (7.2 degrees out of 360) meant that the length of the curvature (800 km) represented 1/50th of the full circumference.

7. Result is that the circumference of the earth is about 40 000 km.

Eratosthenes was right.

This field belongs to a neighbor who runs the biggest multiple field farm operation in our county. He alternates between corn, soy, and cereal rye, also known as winter rye because it is planted in winter as a cover crop. Remarkable for its rich color, the field will be cut for hay and grain for cattle just prior to producing seed heads.

 

Fields like this, with almost undetectable rows and virtually no weeds, are planted with a seed drill, which isn't a drill. It's a wide complicated plow attachment that holds seed, cuts in multiple rows at a preset width and depth, drops the seed at even intervals, and then covers the seed with soil - all in one pass. Lots of moving parts. Primitive seed drills, pulled by man or animals, were used by the Chinese as early as 1200 BC. The modern seed drill was invented and patented by Englishman Jethro Tull in the late 1700s, revolutionizing agriculture - and two hundred years later providing the name for the classic English rock band.

Le Multicolore est un jeu de hasard, d'adresse et d'argent inventé en France au début du XXe siècle.

 

Histoire

 

C'est à la demande de Raymond Poincaré, président de la République de 1913 à 1920 que Paul Painlevé, mathématicien et homme politique, conçut le Multicolore. En effet, il fallait mettre fin aux jeux clandestins à Paris.

 

Si les paris étaient autorisés sur les jeux de hasard, ils étaient interdits sur les jeux d'adresse comme le billard, alors Paul Painlevé imagina un jeu qui serait un mélange de jeu de casino traditionnel comme la roulette et un billard dans la mesure où la boule est lancée à l'aide d'une queue de billard, avec obligation de réaliser une bande au fond de la piste pour valider le lancer.

 

Ce jeu s'adressait à l'origine aux personnes qui ne pouvaient se rendre dans les casinos, trop huppés, d'où son surnom de « casino du peuple » ou de « roulette du pauvre ».

Multicolore is a game of chance, skill and money invented in France at the beginning of the 20th century.

 

History.

 

It was at the request of Raymond Poincaré, President of the Republic from 1913 to 1920 that Paul Painlevé, mathematician and politician, designed Multicolore. Indeed, it was necessary to put an end to clandestine games in Paris.

 

If betting was authorized on games of chance, it was prohibited on games of skill such as billiards, so Paul Painlevé imagined a game that would be a mixture of traditional casino games such as roulette and billiards insofar as the ball is thrown using a billiard cue, with the obligation to make a band at the bottom of the track to validate the throw.

 

This game was originally aimed at people who could not go to casinos, which were too posh, hence its nickname "people's casino" or "poor man's roulette".

Not too long ago, it dawned on me that I hadn't been to this area of town since early in the year when I changed jobs and locations, so today as the sun started to set I figured I'd go take a look.

 

The Rock Sculptures by John Felice Ceprano are back again this year and as always, they're amazing.

 

A very busy place for photographers to gather at sunrise and sundown, and today's sunset was no exception, luckily for me though, I found a little corner that no one had noticed.

 

If you'd like to know more about the artist, you can visit his website, www.jfceprano.com/.

 

Hope everyone has had a good day.

Tatra T87 (1939)

 

Engine: aircooled, 90° overhead cam 2969 cc V8, 85 hp.

Production: 1 of 3056 (1936–1950).

 

The avant-garde, streamlined design of the Tatra 87 looks rather like an insect, not least because of the large rear fin. The three headlights are also typical of the Tatra design. The low drag coefficient (Cd) of 0.36 enabled the car with its air-cooled 3.0-litre V8 engine to attain a speed of 150 km/h. However, at that speed driving the car became dangerous – the heavy rear engine made it hard to handle.

 

The Austrian engineer Hans Ledwinka (1878–1967) joined the Czech company Tatra in 1921 as technical director. He invented the ‘backbone chassis’ and developed aerodynamic designs for motorcars. The design of this particular Tatra dates back to the pre-war years. Ledwinka was a close colleague of Ferdinand Porsche, but when the Volkswagen Beetle was introduced, Tatra claimed that Porsche had copied their design. The court case was interrupted by the war, but Volkswagen later admitted Tatra’s influence.

 

A Tatra 87 was on display in the Modernism exhibition at the Victoria & Albert Museum in London in 2006.

Antoni Gaudí

 

Gaudí was an architect with an innate sense of geometry and volume, as well as a great imaginative capacity that allowed him to mentally project most of his works before moving them to plans. In fact, he rarely made detailed plans of his works; he preferred to recreate them on three-dimensional models, molding all the details as he thought of them. On other occasions, he would improvise on the fly, giving instructions to his collaborators about what they should do.

 

The work of Gaudí has ​​achieved a wide international spread over the years, with countless studies dedicated to his way of understanding architecture. Nowadays, it is admired both by professionals and by the general public: La Sagrada Familia is currently one of the most visited monuments in Spain. Between 1984 and 2005 seven of its works have been considered a World Heritage Site by Unesco.
