"Não sei quantas almas tenho.
Cada momento mudei.
Continuamente me estranho.
Nunca me vi nem olhei
De tanto ser, só tenho alma. "
“Às vezes sou o Deus que trago em mim
E então eu sou o Deus e o crente e a prece,
E a imagem de marfim
Em que esse Deus se esquece
Às vezes não sou mais que um ateu
O mundo rui ao meu redor,
os meus sentidos oscilam
Bandeira rota ao vento
Busca um porto longe uma nau desconhecida
E esse é todo o sentido da minha vida.”
(Adaptação de Maria Bethânia - Não Sei Quantas Almas Tenho - Fernando Pessoa)
my own translation:
"I don't know how many souls I have.
Every moment I changed.
continually feel me strange.
I've never seen me or looked
From being so, I only have soul. "
"Sometimes I'm the God that I carry in me.
And then I'm the God and the believer and the prayer,
And the image of ivory
Where this God forgets
Sometimes I'm just an atheist.
The world crumbles around me,
My senses oscillate
Torn flag in the wind
Searching a port away, an unknown ship
And that is the whole meaning of my life. "

Deep inside the slot canyon and about 40 yards deep from the surface, I stopped to look up and was overcome with emotion of how vast and beautiful our planet can be. I wrestled with the light on many occasions. I hope this conveys the beauty I witnessed.
"Wind howls in my hair
The world stops when you come this near
Starlight on your skin
The sky sways as you pull me in
And I... I wanna swim in your ocean
I... wanna know how to love again
Take me into your arms
Sirens call
How fast I fall
Beneath your waves
No storm can take
My eyes from you
Crash down to my knees
Their fears and hopes flood over me
Your hand finds my own
And shows me that I'm not alone
Now I... I'm diving deep in your ocean
I... see the way to redemption
Sight and all the other senses are only modes of touch.

Happy Slider Sunday
Is it so hard to satisfy your senses?
You found out to love me you have to climb some fences
Scratching and crawling along the floor to touch you
And just when it feels right you say you found someone to hold you
Does she like I do
Baby tell me does she love you like the way I love you
Does she stimulate you, attract and captivate you
Tell me does she miss you existing just to kiss you
Like the way I do
Tell me does she want you, infatuate and haunt you
Does she know just how to shock and electrify and rock you
Does she inject you, seduce you and affect you
Like the way I do
"Like the Way I Do?" ~Melissa Etheridge
A different experience in every season: Oisterwijk's Forests & Fens are exquisite, tranquil and inspiring all year round. Different footpaths, cycle routes and horse trails will lead you – with or without the aid of a forest ranger – through the beauty of one of the Netherlands' most unique areas of nature. There are no less than 80 fens in this stunning green expanse – pretty impressive, right?
Four seasons
Whether it’s the frozen fairy-tale fens of the winter, the dynamics of nature coming to life in spring, the musical croaking of frogs in the summer, or the explosion of colours in the autumn: Oisterwijk's Forests & Fens are a feast for all the senses.
"A real feast for the senses, autumn is a time of plenty in every imaginable way."
- Judi McLeod

Feeling inspired by the flurry of aerial photography featuring so prominently in the international awards circuit of late I thought the time was right to try out a little birds eye view myself.
Here is an image of the beautiful turquoise glacial run-off from the Tasman Glacier through the valley to the right of Mt Wakeheld shot from our Pilatus Poter plane flying north towards Mt Cook.
Very minor post processing done with this image other than a little saturation and vignette.
View large and, as always, thanks for looking.
Sometimes you need to take a risk to get the shot you want. This is a viewpoint from the side of the road, but standing in a normal position there's a cable hanging in the view... so lying down on the road was the only option to make this image. Only shortly before the train was at the right spot though, our ears the most concentrated of our senses.

I press a few more in the album. Does anyone remember their Mother heating up the iron? The meadow smell of the leaves, the smell of the hot wax rising from the still -warm page?
No Foundation!
Hawa Mahal is the tallest building in the world without a foundation. The five-storey building managed to maintain upright because of it is curved. Just another masterpiece of Rajput and Mughal architecture.
Durga Puja pandal architecture is a vibrant and dynamic art form, deeply rooted in Bengali tradition but continuously evolving with contemporary trends. The pandal serves as the temporary abode for the goddess Durga during the annual festival and is often an elaborate and creative expression of architectural ingenuity.
Materials Used
Bamboo: The traditional material used for the structure of the pandal, which is highly flexible and abundant.
Cloth and Paper: These are used for decorations, draping, and wall coverings. They are often painted or printed with intricate designs.
Plaster of Paris and Clay: Used for creating idols and sculptures.
Fiberglass and Metal: These are often used in modern pandals for creating stronger, more durable structures.
1. Traditional Designs
Bengali Folk Art: Traditional pandals often draw from rural Bengal’s heritage, incorporating local materials like bamboo, jute, and clay. These pandals typically feature motifs inspired by nature, mythology, and folk art.
Sholar Kaaj: This is a technique involving intricate designs made from shola (a type of plant) and is used to create ornaments, canopies, and decorations within the pandal.
Terracotta and Wooden Crafts: Terracotta sculptures, wooden carvings, and images of mythological figures are common in older pandals.
2. Modern Interpretations
Innovative Materials: Modern pandals often use contemporary materials like fiberglass, metal, and plastic alongside traditional materials. For instance, large fiberglass idols of Durga are increasingly used, along with innovative lighting, mirrors, and glasswork.
Thematic Pandals: Many pandals these days are built around a specific theme. The themes can range from environmental issues (like conservation of rivers or wildlife) to technological advancements, historical events, or even popular culture. The architecture of the pandal is designed to reflect this theme, often incorporating multimedia elements.
Eco-friendly Designs: In recent years, there has been a push for sustainable and eco-friendly pandals. These are often constructed using biodegradable materials such as bamboo, paper, and cloth, with designs that minimize environmental impact.
3. Architectural Features
Structural Form: Traditionally, pandals were dome-shaped or cylindrical, but now they can take on all sorts of avant-garde shapes, from temples to spaceships to replicas of famous monuments like the Eiffel Tower or the Taj Mahal.
Facade and Entrances: The entrance of the pandal is often grand and acts as a focal point of the design. It may incorporate arches, columns, and ornate carvings, often reflecting the temple architecture of India.
Ceilings and Roofs: The roofs of pandals are a key area for artistic expression, ranging from elaborate canopies made of flowers to highly stylized, often abstract, designs using light and color.
Lighting: Pandals are spectacularly lit, with millions of light bulbs strung up in intricate patterns. The lighting not only enhances the aesthetics but also creates a divine ambiance, especially at night.
Interior Layout: The interior of the pandal is designed to accommodate the idol of Durga, with a focus on creating a spiritual environment. The idol is often placed on a raised platform, surrounded by artistic depictions of various deities, animals, and scenes from mythology.
4. Regional Variations
Kolkata Pandals: In Kolkata, Durga Puja pandals are known for their immense creativity and often become larger-than-life structures. Famous areas like Kumartuli, Behala, and Santoshpur are known for their extravagant pandals.
Delhi and Other Urban Centers: Pandal designs in metropolitan areas might incorporate modern styles, influenced by international trends, such as futuristic designs, art installations, or replicas of foreign monuments. These pandals often blend cultural elements with urban sophistication.
Rural and Smaller Town Pandals: These tend to have simpler, more rustic designs but are rich in cultural symbolism. Often constructed with bamboo, they may showcase more traditional and handcrafted artworks.
5. Innovative and Avant-Garde Designs
Optical Illusions: Some pandals are designed to give the illusion of floating structures, using materials like mirrors and lights to create mesmerizing visual effects.
Interactive and Immersive Designs: Some pandals now aim to create immersive experiences. Visitors can walk through installations that engage all their senses, with sounds, lights, and even augmented reality elements enhancing the experience.
6. Famous Pandals and Their Architects
Kumartuli Park (Kolkata): Known for its amazing artistry!
