The Golden Ratio informs a lot of my art and photographic composition. The Golden Ratio also informs the design of the golden revolver on all the swimsuits and lingerie, as well as the 45surf logo! Not so long ago, I came up with the Golden Ratio Principle which describes why The Golden Ratio is so beautiful.
The Golden Number Ratio Principle: Dr. E’s Golden Ratio Principle: The golden ratio exalts beauty because the number is a characteristic of the mathematically and physically most efficient manners of growth and distribution, on both evolutionary and purely physical levels. The golden ratio ensures that the proportions and structure of that which came before provide the proportions and structure of that which comes after. Robust, ordered growth is naturally associated with health and beauty, and thus we evolved to perceive the golden ratio harmonies as inherently beautiful, as we saw and felt their presence in all vital growth and life—in the salient features and proportions of humans and nature alike, from the distribution of our facial features and bones to the arrangements of petals, leaves, and sunflowers seeds. As ratios between Fibonacci Numbers offer the closest whole-number approximations to the golden ratio, and as seeds, cells, leaves, bones, and other physical entities appear in whole numbers, the Fibonacci Numbers oft appear in nature’s elements as “growth’s numbers.” From the dawn of time, humanity sought to salute their gods in art and temples exalting the same proportion by which all their vital sustenance and they themselves had been created—the golden ratio.

In October ’70, the COG found a Jesus People commune of 33 members practising and believing almost the exact things as they were, right down to Gosepl signs, sackcloth vigils and the “Revolutionary Rules”!
The commune’s leaders had been won to the Lord and taught revolutionary discipleship by teh COG when they were campted at Alton a couple years before. So the COG were invited to take over this 3-story house just blocks from the university.
I re-printed the image that was accepted into the juried show in NY. While I had my chemistry set up, well, I printed a couple other negatives...and then messed around with some paintcan pinholes. It's been a while, the paper is expired, and it seemed like it too me far too many tries to get a decent exposure!! But I like this...my pear tree...which is loaded with fruit this year. I like the sense of abundance...and being fruitful...and can only hope the same could be said for my creative efforts :)

Euphorbia milii (crown of thorns, Christ plant, Christ thorn) is a species of flowering plant in the spurge family Euphorbiaciae, native to Madagascar. The species name commemorates Baron Milius, once Governor of Réunion, who introduced the species to France in 1821. It is suspected that the species was introduced to the Middle East in ancient times, and legend associates it with the crown of thorns worn by Christ. It is also found in Kerala, India. There is a tale stating that there were Jews living in Kerala and they brought the Christ thorn plant from Israel to India.

The Death of Marat is a 1793 painting in the Neoclassic style by Jacques-Louis David and is one of the most famous images of the French Revolution. It is referring to the assassination of Jean-Paul Marat, killed on the 13th of July 1793 by Charlotte Corday.
David was a close friend of Marat, as well as a strong supporter of Robespierre and the Jacobins. He was overwhelmed by their natural capacity for convincing crowds with their speeches, something he hadn't yet easily achieved through painting (not to mention his difficulty to speak, due to a facial tumor). Determined to memorialize his friend, David painted his portrait soon after his murder. He was asked to do it because of his previous painting, The Death of Lepelletier de Saint-Fargeau. (After 1826, nobody saw this work, representing the first martyr of the Revolution, a deputy murdered on January 20. The official reason for his death was for having voted for the death of King Louis XVI, though he was possibly also the victim of some obscure plot implicating Spain.)
Despite the haste in which the portrait of Marat was painted (the work was completed and presented to the National Convention less than four months after Marat's death), it is generally considered to be David's best work, a definite step towards modernity, an inspired (and inspiring) political statement. At the time of its creation, all contemporary sources clearly indicate that the painting was not to be dissociated, neither in its exhibition nor in its evaluation, from The Death of Lepelletier, the two functioning as a pair if not properly as a "diptych". Till David's death in 1825, it remained so, the two paintings sharing the same fate from success to oblivion. The unfortunate disappearance of The Death of Lepelletier does not allow us today to watch The Death of Marat the way David had planned it.

Galway is a city in Ireland. It is in the West Region and the province of Connacht. Galway City Council is the local authority for the city. Galway lies on the River Corrib between Lough Corrib and Galway Bay and is surrounded by County Galway.
The popular song "Galway Girl" or "The Galway Girl" is a song written by Steve Earle and recorded with Irish musician Sharon Shannon, which was featured on Earle's 2000 album Transcendental Blues.
A cover version of the song by Mundy and Shannon reached number one and became the most downloaded song of 2008 in Ireland.
"Galway Girl" tells the semi-autobiographical story of the singer's reaction to a beautiful black haired blue eyed girl he meets in Galway, Ireland. Local references include Salthill and The Long Walk.
Lots of people believe that Galway people have black or very dark hair due to the fact that many spaniards landed there (or were shipwrecked) at the time of the Spanish armada.
Galway is also home to The Spanish Arch which was originally an extension of the city wall from Martin's Tower to the bank of the Corrib, as a measure to protect the city's quays, which were located in the area once known as the Fish Market (now Spanish Parade). It was constructed during the mayoralty of Wylliam Martin in 1584, being called ceann an bhalla (the head of the wall).

MAZAR-E SHARIF, 13 September 2018 - The terrible impact of the Afghan war on its civilians was the focus of this week’s 2018 Mazar Short Film Festival.
Supported by UNAMA, the festival showcased the work of film-makers from Balkh province. The films, of up to six minutes in length, looked at the many different ways the lives of ordinary civilians are effected by the conflict: on family life, on education and health care, with civilians getting caught up in crossfire, unexploded ordnances and improvised explosive devices shattering lives, and how children are recruited by parties to the conflict.
The winner of the Best Film award went to Shahwali Ibrahimi for his film Zindagi Dobara (New life), a harrowing story of teacher and his pupils caught up in a terror-attack.
“I wanted to tell a story of the war and how it is destroying our society, especially children,” said Ibrahimi, adding “My film is also about courage, hope and dreams of a future without war.”
The short films will be widely shown in months ahead as part of UNAMA Human Rights work with all sectors of society to get parties to the conflict to implement measures to reduce the effects of the conflict on civilians.
“The films depict the daily reality for many Afghans, a reality of pain and loss. More than 6,000 civilians have lost their lives or been injured in the conflict since January alone this year,” said UNAMA’s Human Rights Chief, Danielle Bell. “We hope that the films will help audiences hear Afghan voices calling for a ceasefire, an end to the bloodshed and the beginning of a peace process,” said Bell.
All production team’s submitting films to the festival were required to demonstrate the substantive involvement of women in the film-making. Women civilians are inordinately impacted by the conflict.
One of the actresses, Najiba Mirzage, said the festival provided a unique platform for filmmakers and the creative industry to contribute to the peace process through film. She hopes that the festival will grow bigger in years ahead and that films will be shown widely across and beyond Afghanistan.
The top three films were announced as the winners. The Jury also named best actor, best actress, best male director, best female director, best child actor, and best child actress. Judging was conducted by a panel of five nominated by UNAMA and composed of representatives from Afghan Film, the Afghan Independent Human Rights Commission-Northern region, Arzu TV, UNAMA Human Rights and a technical expert.

The sign shows the Castlelaw and Dreghorn Training Area that is Ministry of Defence Estate within the Pentland Hills Regional Park. This sign gives reference to The Scottish Outdoor Access Code.
The wide angle lens here used in my trembling anticipatory hands has not given a flawless image even with in body stabilisation working as best as it can. At f11 diffraction will help soften areas that were possibly not the sharpest before a small aperture was used to record them. Hand held with gloves these are not the sharpest digital images to be created. Just as I was anticipating time in the Pentland Hills Regional Park when creating these flawed images they have somehow been my initial intense focus on the images that follow and I have fallen into to editing them when better images were ready to be shared. The Sun did not allow me with the wide angle lens to escape casting a shadow on the sign if I wanted the sign to occupy much of the photographic frame. I took the opportunity of the Sun position to cast a self shadow portrait in three of the frames. Other lenses could have created a better image of the sign. Somehow editing these images has been a fuel that I could not resist.
All images have been initially edited in Adobe Photoshop Lightroom to produce edits numbered 2 and 3 and then the images have been edited in Adobe Photoshop to reveal the ability there to align the sign and to create some edge details. I have now worn myself into a mist that is ready to be blown away where dream will carry me.

Map of the Barbican Estate
The Barbican Estate was built from the ruins of Cripplegate (flattened during the Blitz). The estate was built between 1965-75, although discussions began in 1951.
The architectural firm was Chamberlin, Powell and Bon - Geoffry Powell (1920–1999), 'Joe' Chamberlin (1919–1978) and Christoph Bon (1921–1999). The estate mixes residential buildings with a public library, the Barbican Arts Centre, the Museum of London, the Guildhall School of Music and Drama, the City of London School for Girls and a YMCA.
The residential buildings comprise of three towers - Cromwell (completed in 1973), Shakespeare (completed in 1976) and Lauderdale (completed in 1974) - and 13 terrace blocks (including Ben Jonson House, Defoe House, Gilbert House, amongst others).
The estate is effectively an arcology, raised up above street level to be a small village. The stark concrete is a dominant look, but this is softened by its textured surface, and the curves in the design itself. Despite (or perhaps, because) being a concrete landscape, the estate is surprisingly green - with various gardens, and an artificial lake (let alone the windowboxes of the apartments and maisonettes).
Discover evidence of a medieval kitchen at Caernarfon Castle. This castle, along with Conwy Castle, Harlech Castle, and Beaumaris Castle, are part of Edward I's Iron Ring in northern Wales. Conwy Castle's build - and the siege it faced - are profiled in Battle Castle: Conwy.
Battle Castle is an action documentary series starring Dan Snow that is now airing on History Television and is scheduled to premiere on Discovery Knowledge in the UK in Spring 2012 and on various BBC-affiliated channels in the near future.

Castles conjure thoughts of romantic tales, but make no mistake, they are built for war.
Dover: Prince Louis' key to England. Malaga: the Granadans final stronghold. And Crac des Chevaliers: Crown Jewel of Crusader castles. Through dynamic location footage and immersive visual effects, Battle Castle reveals a bloody history of this epic medieval arms race.
As siege weapons and technology become more ruthless, the men who design and built these castles reply ... or perish. Follow host Dan Snow as he explores the military engineering behind these medieval megastructures and the legendary battles that became testaments to their might.
Each episode will climax in the ultimate test of the castle's military engineering -- a siege that will change the course of history. Which castles will be conquered and which will prevail? You'll have to watch to find out.
But the journey doesn't end there --in fact, it's just beginning. Battle Castle extends into a multi-platform quest, taking us deep into the secret world of medieval warfare and strategy. Become the ultimate 'Castle Master'. Stay tuned for more on the Battle Castle experience.

St Botolph, Helpston, Cambridgeshire
I took the key to Maxey church back to the cheerful keyholder and cycled back past the church again on my way to a village that I had long wanted to visit. This was Helpston, birthplace, home and burial place of John Clare. Clare was 'the Northamptonshire Peasant Poet', but of course his home village has not been in Northamptonshire for half a century now. How would this be handled by his inevitable tourist industry? Clare is one of those writers like Tennyson or the Brontes who are inextricably linked with a particular location. They also have in common that people who have never read their work, and probably have no intention of ever reading it, still get a frisson over visiting their home village and picking over the bones, so to speak. (In music one might say the same of Benjamin Britten.) With Tennyson that's fair enough, with the possible exception of 'Crossing the Bar', but Clare was a lovely and accessible writer, much more lyrical and pleasing than George Crabbe with whom he is often compared. At this distance it is hard to say whether he suffered from depression or if it was full-blown schizophrenia, but the many years he spent in Northampton lunatic asylum certainly add a pathos to his simple, pastoral verses.
But was he still a Northamptonshire poet? After waiting an age to cross six lanes of East Coast Mainline I headed into the village. The churchyard is very secluded and only accessible through a wall with a grand gateway to the west, a curiously urban situation as if we were in the back streets of York or Bristol. Through the gateway, the church is imposing in such a small space, and difficult to photograph. It has one of those towers you find more commonly in south-east Cambridgeshire where the square tower becomes octagonal before dissolving into a dumpy spire. Clare is buried to the south of the nave under a lozenge shaped slab. Curiously, and most successfully, a smaller replica of this has been set end on at the head of it, so you can clearly read the text. It describes him as the 'Northamptonshire Peasant Poet', but of course it is a replica of the 19th Century original. On its top end has been added 'Here lie the hopes and ashes of John Clare'. On both original and replica, one side simply reads 'A Poet is Born and not Made', which may or may not be true (I suspect it is a little of both) but is most moving.
I stepped into the church. Maybe it was Clare's mood infecting me, but I loved this church. A perfectly poised Anglican country church interior which somehow transcended the lack of significant medieval survivals or unusual features. The whole piece had such a lovely feel to it, a prayerful space. There's a unobtrusive display about John Clare at the back of the church, including quotes from Ronald Blythe's memorable essay about him. I was pleased to see that he wasn't referred to as a Cambridgeshire poet - mind you, it didn't call him a Northamptonshire poet either. I had to go into the centre of the village for that, where the lumpy John Clare memorial reminds us of his birth county. I dare say that confuses visitors who know nothing about him except that he was famous, and nothing about the history of Cambridgeshire either. . You can visit Clare's house just off the high street, and there is a small amount of tourist-oriented commerce including a pottery and so on, as you'd expect. The village school is named after him. But it was all nicely done, I liked it a lot. However, as I left the village I did think they should put up a sign by the road that said 'now go home and READ him'.
A view from the Mount of Olives, with the Old City of Jerusalem in the background. In the center you can see the golden domes of the Church of Mary Magdalene, built in 1888 by Tsar Alexander III of Russia. To its immediate right is the top of the Church of Dominus Flevit, which means "cry of the Lord" and refers to Luke 19:41, "And when he was come near, he beheld the city, and wept over it."
According to Matthew 26:26-30, Jesus & his disciples went to the Mount of Olives following the Last Supper, and His teachings in Matthew 24-25 took place here.
The Mount of Olives is also home to the Church of All Nations, the Church of the Pater Noster, and the Tomb of Zechariah. The Garden of Gethsemane lies at the foot of the mountain.

The Mortuary Temple of Queen Hatshepsut is situated beneath the cliffs at Deir el Bahari on the west bank of the Nile near the Valley of the Kings in Egypt. Designed by the architect Senemut, the mortuary temple is dedicated to the sun god Amon-Ra and is located next to the mortuary temple of Mentuhotep II, which served both as an inspiration, and later, a quarry. It is considered one of the "incomparable monuments of ancient Egypt.
De tempel van Hatsjepsoet, was gebouwd in Deir el-Bahari en was een huis van miljoenen jaren dat diende om de cultus van de overleden koningin verder te zetten.
De tempel is gedurende zijn verdere geschiedenis onderworpen aan verschillende beschadigingen. Zo heeft Thoetmoses III de tempel van Hatsjepsoet zwaar beschadigd toen hij probeerde haar naam te verwijderen. Onder Achnaton werden talrijke beelden van Amon vernietigd en onder Ramses II worden de Osirisbeelden verwoest. De Koptische christenen gebruikten de tempel als klooster en hebben daarbij de gezichten van de goden weggehaald.

A walk around the stunning French village of Roussillon in the Vaucluse.
This is the village of Roussillon in The Luberon. Famous for the yellow ochre stone that is here.
This was my favourite of all the villages I saw.
Roussillon is another village lying alongside the Luberon. Set on an ochre hill, the village has taken on the colours of the soil beneath it. The village top and its epaces and sites; footpaths lead to the various parts of the ancient sulphur and fiery-coloured deposits amidst the scented pine woods.
Situated at the foot of the plateau of Vaucluse, Roussillon is ranked among the most beautiful villages in France. Dominating the valley of Calavon, its houses are crowded together on a spur eroded by ravines and ochre quarries. From the summit to which the dwellings cling, the panorama extends from the mountain chain of Luberon in the south to the mountains of Vaucluse in the north. Between the horizon and the village, the nearby countryside with its coloured soil is covered with woods, vineyards, orchards and cornfields.
The deep ochres used in the construction of this hilltop community are stunning. No other village looks so warm and rich, so harmonious and inviting. It hues come from at least 17 shades of ochre discovered in and around the village, notably in he dramatic former quarries along the Sentier des Ochres. The quarries are to the east of the village.

The Western Veil Nebula, also known as Caldwell 34 and the “Witch’s Broom”, is a large supernova remnant near the bright star 52 Cygni in Cygnus. This object is thought to be approximately 1,500 light-years away.
Luminance – 12x600s – 120 minutes – binned 1x1
RGB – 9x300s – 45 minutes each – binned 2x2
255 minutes total exposure – 4 hours 15 minutes

This one, like the Eastern Veil I posted earlier, is usually imaged in narrowband but, even though it is considered faint, the colors come out well with normal RGB exposures even from the city.

....sculpture in the Clarks Shopping Village.
Street, Somerset.
Started in 1825, by Quaker brothers Cyrus and James Clark, as a business making sheepskin rugs and slippers, using out-workers in the village, it has expanded to become a global shoe brand, with operations in Europe, the United States and the Far East.
For much of the life of the business, the company manufactured its own shoes in Somerset, building several factories in the area. The company's Quaker ethos made provision for workers' housing, education and leisure activities, while its keen social conscience kept Street 'dry' for many years. Rising costs and low productivity prompted the company to move production abroad, and while shoe design is still predominantly done in the United Kingdom, all manufacturing has now moved to India, Brazil, Cambodia, China, and Vietnam. In 1993, redundant buildings at its Street site were opened as Clarks Village, which includes more than 90 shops. There are also coffee shops, refreshment stalls, and a dining area shared by fast food chains, mostly selling goods at a discount to high street prices.
