To see more of the emptiness or rather more of spaciousness, viewers from around the world are now tracking the following blogger:

Coming back to the musicians of the younger generation, some say few of them play with their heart. Competitions as a way of starting a career in music is devastating. And then there is the rise of recording business where audience would listen with the sheet music on hand ! And then the undue influence of the so-called critiques -- mostly paid one way or the other-- turning music into a money making machine, promoting populism even in classical music. Few musicians nowadays improvise anymore and rubato is a rarity; too many scales and etudes instead. Furtwangler used to interprete music there and then, so every time is different, making music a multi-facet expressive and organic entity. The tradition is gone. The change of modern human relationship, following the rise of metropolitan city life particularly so with the breaking down of families and family ties. Does one need to know life better before he actually knows about arts, the imitation of life ? Making things worse, noisy factories are full steam ahead... All in all, only 3-5 % of the population are still listening to classical music these days, according to numerous surveys! I, nevertheless, find the following players charming:

Each and every moment of existence, no matter how stressful or how fleeting, contains the potential for spaciousness.

— Anne Bogart

 

Sit with a cup of tea before sipping. Close your eyes and breathe for a while before reading. Give yourself a little space. Feel your soul arriving in restfulness.

"...for spacious skies..."

 

That's the first line of a poem written by Katherine Lee Bates in 1893, as she traveled by train to Colorado Springs, and then to the top of Pikes Peak. Her poem became a patriotic song,

"America the Beautiful", that many people have wanted as a replacement for "The Star Spangled Banner" as the National Anthem.

 

This picture was taken from the Cog Rail train, near the summit of Pikes Peak (a "Fourteener" at 14,115 feet, 4302 m), supposedly the view that inspired Bates' poem.

One can see for many miles from this spot on Beartooth Pass.

 

I count at least 10 lakes or ponds from here. Long lake the largest in view, in the center.

 

Here looking south as one climbs Beartooth Pass. The Beartooth Highway climbs to 10,350 feet in Montana and 10,947 in Wyoming—the highest highway elevation in both states. The Absaroka mountain range is in the distance.

 

"The Beartooth Highway was opened on June 14, 1936. Heralded as one of the most scenic drives in the United States, the Beartooth Highway, a National Scenic Byways All-American Road, features breathtaking views of the Absaroka and Beartooth Mountains, and open high alpine plateaus dotted with countless glacial lakes, forested valleys, waterfalls and wildlife."

A challenging drive as there are so many jaw dropping views as you drive the frequently winding curving road. Popular for motorcyclists as well.

Space House, One Kemble Street, Holborn. Designed by architects Richard Seifert & Partners and completed in 1968. A major refurbishment has recently been completed.

In the beginning, O God, you made heaven and earth in your Word, in your Son, in your Power, in your Wisdom, in your Truth, speaking in a wondrous way and working in a wondrous way. Who shall comprehend it? Who shall declare it? What is that which shines through me and strikes my heart without injuring it? I both shudder and glow with passion: I shudder, in as much as I am unlike it; I glow with passion in as much as I am like to it.

-Saint Augustine, “Wisdom Itself,” vol. 11, chap. 9, The Confessions of St. Augustine, trans. John K. Ryan (Garden City: Image, 1960), 284.

Fort Morgan, AL: Fort Morgan is a historic masonry pentagonal bastion fort at the mouth of Mobile Bay, Alabama, United States. It was fired upon during the Civil Ware Battle of Mobile Bay. Named for Revolutionary War hero Daniel Morgan, it was built on the site of the earlier Fort Bowyer, an earthen and stockade type fortification involved in the final land battles of the War of 1812.

Sunset over the San Juan Mountains of southern Colorado, with the expansive San Luis Valley in the foreground. One of the outstanding features of the San Luis Valley is it's sheer size, which this image captures fairly well. The valley is 120 miles long and over 50 miles wide and has an average elevation of 7,765 ft. above sea level. The road that cuts through the left foreground of the picture is known as the "T Road" and runs between Highway 17 and the small town of Crestone, CO, which sits at the feet of the Sangre de Cristo Range on the east side of the valley. Just 10 miles south of Crestone, as the crow flies, is the beautiful and spectacular Great Sand Dunes National Park and Preserve.

Valencia is the third largest city in Spain. Valencia is located on the Costa del Azahar on the Mediterranean Sea and is considered the birthplace of paella, one of the most famous dishes in Spanish cuisine. Valencia is also known as the orange city. Valencia is Spain's third economic engine, after Madrid and Barcelona. Valencia was founded in 138 BC. under the name Valentia Edetanorum, by a Roman leader. Valencia has a Mediterranean climate with warm summers and very mild winters. Valencia, like the entire region of Valencia, is officially bilingual; they speak both Spanish and Valencian. Valencian is very closely related to Catalan. Spanish Valencia is more than beach and paella. The highlight that you do not want to miss are the modern buildings of Calatrava. The 'Ciutat de les Arts i les Ciències' or 'the City of Arts and Sciences' is a cultural and scientific complex of seven special buildings designed by Calatrava and is located in the drained Turia River of Valencia. It includes Spain's finest aquarium L'Oceanographic, a planetarium, an IMAX theatre, a science museum and a striking event hall. This science park is definitely the number one attraction of Valencia!

 

Palau de les Arts Reina Sofía is Calatrava's showpiece. The construction of this opera complex started in 1995 and has been open since 2005. It is about 75 meters high with an area of 40,000 m2. There are four halls in the complex. One of the reasons the construction took so long was because Calatrava wanted the inside of La Sala Principal completely covered with dark blue mosaic of Valencian ceramics. It takes a lot of work anyway to mosaic such a large hall, but the acoustics also have to be perfect. Surprisingly, by placing wooden balconies in an undulating movement in the room, excellent acoustics have been achieved.

 

Valencia is twee na grootste stad van Spanje. Valencia ligt aan de Costa del Azahar aan de Middellandse Zee en geldt als geboorteplaats van de paella, een van de bekendste gerechten uit de Spaanse keuken. Valencia wordt ook wel de sinaasappelstad genoemd. Valencia is de derde economische motor van Spanje, na Madrid en Barcelona. Valencia werd gesticht in 138 v.Chr. onder de naam Valentia Edetanorum, door een Romeinse leider. Valencia heeft een mediterraan klimaat met warme zomers en zeer milde winters. Valencia is, net als de gehele regio Valencia, officieel tweetalig; men spreekt er zowel Spaans als Valenciaans. Het Valenciaans is zeer sterk verwant aan het Catalaans. Het Spaanse Valencia is meer dan strand en paella. Het hoogtepunt die je niet wilt missen zijn de moderne bouwwerken van Calatrava. Palau de les Arts Reina Sofía is het paradepaardje van Calatrava. De bouw van dit operacomplex startte al in 1995 en is sinds 2005 geopend. Het is zo’n 75 meter hoog met een oppervlakte van 40.000 m2. Er zijn vier zalen in het complex. Eén van de redenen dat de bouw zo lang duurde, was omdat Calatrava de binnenkant van La Sala Principal volledig wilde voorzien van donkerblauw mozaïek van Valenciaans keramiek. Nu kost het sowieso veel werk om zo’n grote zaal te mozaïeken, maar de akoestiek heeft natuurlijk ook nog eens perfect zijn. Door in de zaal houten balkons in een golvende beweging te plaatsen, is er verrassend genoeg gezorgd voor een uitstekende akoestiek.

And who doesn't like a spacious back porch? It's large, but not a lot of "junk in the trunk", as some might say. Canadian National could bolt down some seats here and sell foamer rides. But anyway, here's the Griffith local returning from Gary on a nice morning.

Happy July 4th!! Happy Birthday America!!
