This transcendent moment of morning perfection was gifted to me by Lake Tahoe on my last day this past visit. Please do view this one Large on Black.

The older generation thought nothing of getting up at five every morning - and the younger generation doesn't think much of it either.

~John J. Welsh

Image Notes: This image is a blend of an hdr made from 5 frames 1 EV apart (tone-mapped in Dynamic-Photo HDR) layered over the second darkest exposure of those five with a slight bit of vignetting applied along the way. Also, the just rising sun was positioned directly behind the small structure to create a bloom effect and add to the vignette.

It's a grand old metaphor.

The tree is old and straggly.

I'm old and straggly.

The tree has lost it's foliage.

I've lost my foliage.

The tree is standing alone in the middle of nowhere.

I'm standing alone in the middle of nowhere.

The tree has a big branch pointing skyward.

I have.........

And so the poor metaphor endeth.

This is directly opposite the Frolicking Field, just outside The Middle of Nowhere, South Australia, Australia.

Sorry I haven't been round to visit everyone. I'm slowly getting there.

Black Friday

New Year's Day, Yorkshire

A dystopian view of the future? A critical commentary on the nature of large cities? A metaphor for the cogitating mind itself? Or, perhaps a suggestion of a coming out of darkness via the quantum world view. Any or all of the above ...

Music Link: "Tales of the Future", Vangelis - from the "Blade Runner" soundtrack ( Vangelis ). Featuring the eery, otherworldly voice of Demis Roussos, former bandmate of Vangelis when he was with the Greek experimental group Aphrodite's Child. There's something almost Qawali about Roussos's singing here, reminding one of Nusrat Fateh Ali Kkan, but put into the context of the darkness of the film and as an adjunct to this image here it takes on a creepy, almost hair-raising quality.

This contemporary work is a movement exploration that investigates the relationship between movements, rhythm and tempo. Through the research, movement metaphors emerge that question relationship, trust, leadership and community.

A homage to Mapplethorpe

Metaphor Theme: an individualized symbolic pattern in a language. (e.g, TIME is MONEY in English)

The sun sets on an old East London boozer, a metaphor for the inept government /Covid-19 crisis and the fact that many of these old gems will never re-open.

Bloody wheelie bins, and the pub is off the vertical, not me !
