NOON, the best shapes in SL
View allAll Photos Tagged Noon
At noon, the thin air smeared warm and sultry on the earth already parched with dryness. The hardest task was finding a shadow stamp and a gust of wind...
...
A mezzogiorno, l'aria rarefatta spalmava caldo e afa sulla terra già arsa dalla secchezza. Il compito più arduo era trovare un francobollo d'ombra e un refolo di vento.

Notre-Dame de Thierenbach, à 2 km de Soultz jouit d'un site incomparable au pied du Vieil Armand et du Grand Ballon. De style baroque, les origines de ce haut-lieu de pèlerinage marial remontent au 8ème siècle (730). Elle fut fondée par les moines bénédictins de Murbach venus d'Irlande. En 1125, un jeune noble de Soultz, atteint de maladie incurable, y fut miraculeusement guéri. Cinq ans plus tard, en 1130, Pierre le Vénérable, abbé de Cluny y fonde un prieuré bénédictin, supprimé par la Révolution. L'église actuelle, de style baroque autrichien, fut construite en 1723 par Peter THUMB. Elle devint l'église paroissiale de Jungholtz en 1881 et fut érigée en Basilique mineure par Pie XI en 1936. En 1980 furent fêtées les solennités du 1250ème anniversaire de la création du Pèlerinage. De nombreux ex-votos offerts pour accompagner une demande ou un remerciement à la Vierge tapissent les murs de l'église. Plus de 800 existent encore aujourd'hui. Le plus ancien, date de 1680. La basilique de Thierenbach possède un orgue Didier Fisher Krämer, datant de 1923. De nombreux concerts d'orgue sont proposés tout au long de l'année.
Rediscovered this one last night. Had forgotten about it, though I'm not sure how as I took it on a wonderful walk through a previously unfamiliar part of London (Bermondsey) that also yielded this shot amongst others: flic.kr/p/Jqo72W.

Gazania flowers (Gazania rigens /Mittagsgold) on the terrace 😄 For a sunny weekend ☀️
They only look like this in the hours around noon, hence the German name 'Mittagsgold' (Midday Gold). The rest of the day the blossoms are closed.

High Noon
"It's the End of the World as we Know it" - R.E.M.
That's great it starts
with an earthquake
Birds and snakes
and aeroplanes
And Lenny Bruce is not afraid

Drawing a perfect circle in one continuous line was a sign
of mastery. Rembrandt did it in one of his latest self-portraits.
Noguchi however, did the opposite. Read what he wrote
about Sun a Noon.
The assembly technique, no doubt with industrial help, is related
to Noguchi's activity as a designer. Some of his furniture, like
his famous glass coffee table and his paper lanterns, are still in production and very popular.
The Boat House....
This morning the skies were turbulent with thick heavy snow clouds, snow began falling in the early morning hours and persisted throughout the day leaving thick white deep snow everywhere.
just before noon Karen and I headed out to our favorite conservation area to get a few shots.
This shot is of the boathouse at heart lake; the snow was falling so hard you could barely see a few hundred feet, making everything seem to fade into the whiteness.

Come join us tomorrow for our opening event in honor of artist Tresore Prada Hawkins! She will have many new, unposted works she created for the show on display along with several others. All will focus on a magical, fantasy theme along with Autumn :)
Tresore has always enjoyed anything to do with being creative in real life and Second Life. In her own words,
"I would like to touch the heart of people through my impression, thoughts, feelings , and I hope my images make you smile and dream a little".
Tresore has the special ability to create these moods, feelings and emotions in others with the time and thought she puts into each picture. She takes the time she needs to perfect the story, mood and feeling she is trying to portray by choosing the perfect pose, colors, clothing and scene. Then she puts it all together at the location within world she thinks will help achieve this goal. Her use of rich, beautiful color, unique texturing and overall composition is truly stunning and inspirational. Come dream with us and enjoy the great music of DJ Feather while doing so!
Antelope Canyon, Navajo Nation near Page, Arizona.
This image is part of my Southwest set.
Here's another handheld image I made with a Nikon D300 and Nikkor 18-55mm. I got really lucky with some of my shots down in this canyon. It was windy, dusty, and the lighting heavily favored tripod use but I had none so had to make due.
Our timing arriving at Lower Antelope Canyon couldn't have been much better. We arrived at the Navajo Nation entrance to AC late in the morning and then were shuttled down to the canyon, arriving just before noon. It is only around noon that you get the streaks of sunshine that make it to the canyon floor.
