John Muir: "When I reached the [Yosemite] valley, all the rocks seemed talkative, and more lovable than ever. They are dear friends, and have warm blood gushing through their granite flesh; and I love them with a love intensified by long and close companionship. … I … bathed in the bright river, sauntered over the meadows, conversed with the domes, and played with the pines."
"Between every two pine trees there is a door leading to a new way of life."--John Muir
"I would advise sitting from morning till night under some willow bush on the river bank where there is a wide view. This will be "doing the valley" far more effectively than riding along trails in constant motion from point to point. The entire valley is made up of "points of interest." --John Muir on Yosemite!

A large proportion of Britain's canals were nationalised in 1948 and indeed many were already owned by the railway companies. Under BTC a Docks and Inland Waterways Executive was set up and when the Commission was abolished in 1962 the waterways were moved into the British Waterways Board, now the Canal & River Trust. British Waterways effectively saw a transition from canals as freight arteries to more leisure based uses and this booklet highlights this. It was one of a series of similar publications, this detailing the West Yorkshire Calder & Hebble Navigation.
At the time this canal came to a dead end in Sowerby Bridge with the Rochdale Canal, at the time abandoned and oddly still privately owned. In one of the great turnrounds of the canal restoarion movement the early 20th Century saw the restoration and reopening of the Rochdale. Issued to promote a summer cruising programme along the 21.5 miles of navigable water the booklet notes that some freight, such as coal, is still carried but describes the scenery that was still in places quite industrial! It also gives a guide as to "how a lock works" - as you'd navigate through 26 of these that was probably a good idea!
The booklet is very much in the tradition of the BTC that had high standards of graphic design and typography and it is a shame no designer nor printer is shown. The wavy blue lines and the BW version of the LT 'roundel', that echoes a life ring, are all rather neat.
Surprisingly few plastic bottles wash up on the beach here. A surprising proportion of the ones that do are Chinese. The labels are entirely in Chinese. Sometimes the plastic lids display raised Chinese characters too.
Entirely missing is the "Imported by" text that would show the product was intended for the US market. Any English words are few and far between, doubtless intended to jazz up the label's marketing component.
I think the bottles are coming from cargo vessels on trans-Pacific routes to and from China. I'll have to test this idea someday.
In the meantime, I enjoy trying to decipher the labels with the Google Translate application. It uses my iPhone's camera to scan the text. When I say I enjoy this pursuit, what I mean is I find the translator's results hilarious.
The collage above shows how the translator interpreted the same label. Not shown is one of my favorite lines, "To no avail." If I didn't know better, I'd say the AI behind the app was getting philosophical.
If I were more awake, this is where I'd write something about the intersection of writing, language, communication, culture, technology and meaning. Later, perhaps.
According to the app, another bottle I found used to contain "beef chicken + milk."

One of the keys to shooting Epic Landscape Photography is exalting the photograph's soul via golden ratio compositions, thusly wedding the photographic art to the divine proportion by which life itself was designed and exalted.

Greetings flickr friends! I am working on several books on "epic photography," and I recently finished a related one titled: The Golden Number Ratio Principle: Why the Fibonacci Numbers Exalt Beauty and How to Create PHI Compositions in Art, Design, & Photography: An Artistic and Scientific Introduction to the Golden Mean . Message me on facebook for a free review copy!
www.facebook.com/goldennumberratio/
The Golden Ratio also informs the design of the golden revolver on all the swimsuits and lingerie, as well as the 45surf logo!
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.
Ansel Adams is not only my favorite photographer, but he is one of the greatest photographers and artists of all time. And just like great artists including Michelangelo, Monet, Degas, Renoir, Leonardo da Vinci, Vermeer, Rembrandt, Botticelli, and Picasso, Ansel used the golden ratio and divine proportions in his epic art.
Not so long ago I discovered golden regions in many of his famous public domain his 8x10 aspect ratio photographs. I call these golden harmony regions "regions of golden action" or "ROGA"S, as seen here:

And too, I created some videos highlighting Ansel's use of the golden harmonies. Enjoy!

The Fibonacci Numbers are closely related to the golden ratio, and thus they also play a prominent role in exalted natural and artistic compositions!
I'm working on a far deeper book titled The Golden Ratio Number for Photographers. :)
The famous mathematician Jacob Bernoulli wrote:
The (golden spiral) may be used as a symbol, either of fortitude and constancy in adversity, or of the human body, which after all its changes, even after death, will be restored to its exact and perfect self.
Engraved upon Jacob’s tombstone is a spiral alongside the words, "Eadem Mutata Resurgo," meaning "Though changed, I shall rise again." And so it is that within the Golden Ratio Principle, the golden harmonies rise yet again.
The golden ratio is oft known as the divine cut, the golden cut, the divine proportion, the golden number, and PHI for the name of the architect of the Parthenon Phidias. It has exalted classical art on down through the millennia and it can exalt your art too!
Ask me anything about the golden ratio! :) I will do my best to answer!!

An exercise to be as honest as possible with proportions of a tree, it's thickness and branch disposition. Sometimes I wanted to 'move' one or two branches, but restricted myself to be close to nature. Well, trees seem regular, but they are obviously not! :>P
St Mary Magdalene, Thornham Magna, Suffolk
I wonder how many times I have visited this church's more famous neighbour at Thornham Parva since last coming here? And yet, I have always thought of it fondly. I remember my first visit here in the 1990s, being surprised and pleased to see a sign down at the roadside telling me that the church was open. At the time, I had visited several hundred Suffolk churches, and although I had found most of them open, this was the first time I'd come across a church openly advertising the fact. Nowadays, such signs are commonplace, but coming back here in September 2018 I was happy to note that Thornham Magna still has its sign out by the road.
St Mary Magdalene's open welcome, and its high quality 19th Century restoration, are perhaps both symptoms of the philanthropy and generosity of the Henniker family, of nearby Thornham Hall. This is the Henniker church. If you walk westwards of the tower, you will see Thornham Hall over the fence, across a field. You will also find yourself standing among the Henniker graves, which are as understated and restrained as the Hall itself.
Anyone who knows this part of Suffolk will surely love it, a landscape of wooded lanes and gently rolling fields. And the church gets a good number of visitors, for the popular Thornham Walks wind in the woods beyond the church, and there is a good pub down in the village.
The church is attractively set above the lane on a cushion of green and brown, although the 14th century tower is rather forbidding, not least because of the flat effect of the east wall caused by the buttresses being flush with it. There is something similar at Rendlesham. The late medieval porch is elaborate, with three niches which would have contained a rood group before the Anglican reformers removed them only a few decades later in the middle of the 16th Century. Incidentally, the odd way in which the porch abuts the window to the east of it might suggest that a rebuilding was planned, but the Reformation intervened.
You enter what is inevitably a rather dark church, narrow and aisleless, the few windows filled with a range of coloured glass. The gloved hand of lukewarm ritualism fell heavily here in the 19th century thanks to the Henniker family wealth, and consequently not much that is medieval survived. This church has none of the rustic medieval charm of its neighbour at Thornham Parva.
But in any case you come here for the Victorian era, to see how a landed country family in that period of renewed confidence and triumphalism took its parish church to task and remembered itself in death, for the Hennikers have their memorials here, and what a contrast they are to the triumphalism of the Tollemaches at Helmingham or the Poleys at Boxted. here, there is a feeling of understatement. The most memorable and striking on a first visit is probably that to Edward Henniker, who died in 1902. This is the window in the south-west corner of the nave, with figures by Edward Burne-Jones reused by Morris & Co a few years after the artist's death. A gorgeous St Mary Magdalene, a mournful St John and the rather sombre Blessed Virgin stand as they would have done at the foot of the cross.
The big restoration had happened here in the 1850s, rather early for Suffolk and consequently the patron and his workmen had a fairly free hand. The elegant, well-proportioned screen, in a typically bubbly late medieval East Anglian style, was made by the Ipswich carver Henry Ringham for a church in Surrey. It was exhibited in the Great Exhibition of 1851, but never seems to have been installed in Surrey. The Hennikers bought it in 1856 and had it installed here, where it looks very well.
The glass on the north side of the nave by William Miller was installed through the 1850s in memory of members of the Henniker family. Inscriptions were carved into the sill below each window, but a rather unfortunate error in the date of one (the inscription below the central light of the middle window has the infant John Chandos Henniker Major being born in 1844 and dying in 1842) meant that the inscriptions were soon covered by painted plate metal replacements. Today, these lie on the sill below the original inscriptions, so you can see both. The unfortunate child, who had actually been born in 1841, is shown in the light above being held in the arms of Christ. In the left hand light, his father Major Henniker kneels in 14th Century uniform holding a spear. He died at Pau in the Pyrenees a few months after the death of his son.
The mawkish scene on the other side of the nave, depicting the three women at the tomb of Christ, is typical work of the 1880s by WG Taylor, but the other glass up in the chancel is also by William Miller, also of the 1850s. Up here in the sanctuary is the Hennikers' one attempt at full-blown triumphalism, the memorial to John Henniker Major. It is by John Kendrick. Faith clasps the urn looking downcast, while Hope looks up, resting against her anchor, a characterful face at once sorrowful and earnest.
The Henniker memorials are an interesting history of the colonial adventures of an established landed family. One was killed in Spain, in the Battle of Almanza, while another served in the Egyptian Campaign... and throughout the South African War. The memorial to the Major Henniker commemorated in the window is by William Woodington, who, Sam Mortlock reminds us, was also responsible for the bronze reliefs around the base of Nelson's Column. There are seven Henniker hatchments, an unusually large number even for Suffolk, which has more than any other county apart from Kent.
But my favourite memorial of all, I think, is the simple one to Martha Catherine Henniker, who was born in July 1838 and died just three months later. The tender plant shed forth its beauteous form, look'd round upon this boisterous world, found its chilling blasts too rough, droop'd its head and died. Isn't that lovely? I wonder if it can have been a comfort. It is signed CRH, perhaps her mother or father. Leaving, you can't help thinking that perhaps the grieving figures in the Burne-Jones window reflect something of this sadness in Martha Catherine Henniker's inscription.

The gorge of Gorropu or Gorroppu is located in a deep Supramonte's canyon , Sardinia, and marks the border between the municipalities of Orgosolo and Urzulei. The gorge is originated due to the intense erosive action caused by the waters of the Flumineddu. The Gorropu, with its more than 500 meters. height and a width that varies from a few tens to 4 meters, is considered one of the deepest canyons in Europe and it is habitat for several endemic species of Sardinia.

In early summer, ‘Abraham Darby’ bears large, deeply cupped blooms in shades of pink, apricot and yellow and, in spite of their size, they continue to be produced for the remainder of the season. They have a rich, fruity fragrance with a refreshing sharpness. ‘Abraham Darby’ is an excellent, vigorous, medium-sized shrub. It has a bushy, arching habit and large, polished, rather modern leaves; flower, growth and leaf are all in proportion and never clumsy. Named to celebrate the inventor Abraham Darby, who, with his son and grandson, played an important part in the industrial revolution.

John Muir: "When I reached the [Yosemite] valley, all the rocks seemed talkative, and more lovable than ever. They are dear friends, and have warm blood gushing through their granite flesh; and I love them with a love intensified by long and close companionship. … I … bathed in the bright river, sauntered over the meadows, conversed with the domes, and played with the pines."
"Between every two pine trees there is a door leading to a new way of life."--John Muir
"I would advise sitting from morning till night under some willow bush on the river bank where there is a wide view. This will be "doing the valley" far more effectively than riding along trails in constant motion from point to point. The entire valley is made up of "points of interest." --John Muir on Yosemite!

Had a great time waking up at 5 AM every day to shoot tunnel view and then driving around down in the valley to Half Dome, Bridalviel Falls, Cook's Meadow and the glorious Cook's Meadow elm tree, Sentinel Bridge, Valley View, Swinging Bridge, and more! Yosemite winters are made for black and whites, and Ansel Adam's ghost haunts the brilliant landscape scenery!
The most epic "Ansel Adams" view is tunnel view where one can see El Capitan, Bridalviel Falls, and Half Dome over magnificent trees, snow, rising fogs, and breaking mists. Enjoy!
Been busy traveling and shooting landscapes and working on my books The Golden Hero's Odyssey about the golden rectangle and divine proportion I use in a lot of my compositions! Also working on my physics book on Dynamic Dimensions Theory! The equation dx4/dt=ic is on a lot of the 45surf swimsuit and shirts and all! :)

One of the keys to shooting Epic Landscape Photography is exalting the photograph's soul via golden ratio compositions, thusly wedding the photographic art to the divine proportion by which life itself was designed and exalted.

Greetings flickr friends! I am working on several books on "epic photography," and I recently finished a related one titled: The Golden Number Ratio Principle: Why the Fibonacci Numbers Exalt Beauty and How to Create PHI Compositions in Art, Design, & Photography: An Artistic and Scientific Introduction to the Golden Mean . Message me on facebook for a free review copy!

The Golden Ratio also informs the design of the golden revolver on all the swimsuits and lingerie, as well as the 45surf logo!
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.
Ansel Adams is not only my favorite photographer, but he is one of the greatest photographers and artists of all time. And just like great artists including Michelangelo, Monet, Degas, Renoir, Leonardo da Vinci, Vermeer, Rembrandt, Botticelli, and Picasso, Ansel used the golden ratio and divine proportions in his epic art.
Not so long ago I discovered golden regions in many of his famous public domain his 8x10 aspect ratio photographs. I call these golden harmony regions "regions of golden action" or "ROGA"S, as seen here:

And too, I created some videos highlighting Ansel's use of the golden harmonies. Enjoy!

In a story mirroring that of the Gash company, Wrights of Penycae were another traditional independent which expanded out of all proportion with 'opportunities' afforded by de-regulation. By this time the firm had changed it's 'tag' to Wright's of Wrexham, which it has to be said would be recognised more widely. Also taking advantage of the premature disposal of young Titan double deckers being ousted by Greater Manchester, Wright's purchased ANE 2T and painted it in this, their new distinctive livery. The bus is loading on a very wet Wrexham bus station for a journey to Cefn Mawr, the home of another large independent, Vales. Sadly, Wright's are no longer with us either.
Faith Temple, 296 Broadview Ave
Built in 1894 and designed by E.J. Lennox (Casa Loma, Old City Hall), this was originally the Broadview Avenue Congressional Church. Here's what it used to look like: www.blogto.com/upload/2012/11/20121101-broadview2.jpg

Stourhead is the best example of a garden inspired by the great landscape painters of the seveneeenth century. Ernst Gombrich suggests it should bear the signature of an Italianized French painter: Claude Lorrain (1600-82). The Stourhead garden was made by a wealthy English banker who had been buying works of art in Italy at the time he inherited the Stourhead estate. Henry Hoare II's 'Claudian' garden was made in an unusually well-proportioned valley behind the house. The Temple of Flora at Stourhead was made in 1745 and the grotto in 1748. But the key date was 1754, when the lake and the Pantheon were made. It is based on the Pantheon in Rome and the planned walk through the estate is based on the journey of Rome's legendry founder, Aeneas. The five-arched bridge was made in 1762 and the Temple of Apollo in 1765. Gothic features were added later in the century: Alfred's Tower, a Rustic Cottage and a Hermitage.The Stourhead woods were underplanted with Rhododendron ponticum after 1791 and with more exotic species in the twentieth century.
Lying in secluded privacy in its own valley, Stourhead in Wiltshire features one of the world’s finest landscape gardens making it perfect for a fantastic day out.
A magnificent lake is central to the design at Stourhead, with the lakes edge being adorned with classical temples, enchanting grottos and rare and exotic trees to discover.
The Hoare family history can be uncovered in Stourhead House, a majestic Palladian mansion housing a unique Regency library with fabulous collections of Chippendale furniture and paintings, all set amid delightful lawns and parkland.
Stourhead is at the heart of a 1,072-hectare (2,650 acre) estate where chalk downs, ancient woods and farmland are managed for nature conservation and perfect to explore.

Ansel Adams used the golden ratio in his photography too:

The Fibonacci Numbers are closely related to the golden ratio, and thus they also play a prominent role in exalted natural and artistic compositions!
I'm working on a far deeper book titled The Golden Ratio Number for Photographers. :)
The famous mathematician Jacob Bernoulli wrote:
The (golden spiral) may be used as a symbol, either of fortitude and constancy in adversity, or of the human body, which after all its changes, even after death, will be restored to its exact and perfect self.
Engraved upon Jacob’s tombstone is a spiral alongside the words, "Eadem Mutata Resurgo," meaning "Though changed, I shall rise again." And so it is that within the Golden Ratio Principle, the golden harmonies rise yet again.
The golden ratio is oft known as the divine cut, the golden cut, the divine proportion, the golden number, and PHI for the name of the architect of the Parthenon Phidias. It has exalted classical art on down through the millennia and it can exalt your art too!
Ask me anything about the golden ratio! :) I will do my best to answer!!
Enjoy my Fine Art Ballet instagram too!
This photo is a great example of proportion is it shows the woman in the front as very large while the woman at the very back of the line is tiny to our eye, though in reality we know she is probably close to the same size as the woman who appears larger.
