For our family collab at BrickWorld this year we brought 13 large scale figures from the Wingfeather Saga. Katie designed the first head and we went from there, building at a really fun cartoony scale.
As you can probably imagine, stability was a big challenge on these figures. I've tried to continue refining and mine are mostly stable now, not sure where exactly they'll end up but ideally wherever it is they will be able to stand being breathed on. XD
Probably not all the figures will make it to Flickr, but we built:

after twelve years of some stability, if not to say some enforced immobility in North Carolina, i'm free to travel again. in fact, i'm forced to travel, as i am losing my home and must find a new one. due to global warming, which we all know doesn't exist, it's too darn hot in North Carolina. so i'm moving north, where the days often are cooler. some people claim they have snow too. i suppose i can survive snow.
but meanwhile i intend to take a little trip. or two. or three. if you would be willing to host me, put me up for a day or two in a spare bedroom, let me sleep on a couch, or even pitch a tent in your backyard, please let me know, via Flickrmail. or if you would just like to meet for a coffee, should i pass through your burg, that would be great. i am, quite literally, going to be searching for America, and Americans. hope i find you out there somewhere.

Khao Hin Thoen Stone Park is located in Prachuap Khiri Khan province in the narrowest part of Thailand, which is only 15 kilometers wide, close to the border with Myanmar Burma. Khao Hin Theun Stone Park is a hilly area where many large granite stones are stacked naturally. The fact that these large rocks appear to remain balanced despite their size and weight reminds us of the delicate balance and stability in nature. It is a reminder of the forces of nature and the unique geological processes that create such formations. These formations are often the result of centuries of geological processes, including erosion, sedimentation, landslides and other forces. It's amazing how nature can create these complex structures over time. From the top of the hill you can enjoy breathtaking panoramic views of the Gulf of Thailand and the surrounding coastline. Just a few kilometers away, at the Singkhon checkpoint, is the border with Myanmar; a route with rich historical significance as it once served as a military trail during the late Ayutthaya period. At the summit there is also a secluded temple built between three large massive granite boulders. Essentially an open cave, this temple is a hidden gem maintained by a lone monk. This venerable monk, now 78 years old, has been living here in solitude for more than 40 years. The temple and living area are built into the large boulders. Surrounded by lush green forests, this open temple cave also offers an opportunity to enjoy the natural beauty and tranquility. Hiking trails are available for those who want to enjoy the natural environment. The peaceful surroundings and natural beauty make it a popular place for meditation and contemplation.
Khao Hin Thoen Stone Park, situated near Hua Hin,. The park is a remarkable natural wonder where numerous colossal boulders are ingeniously stacked, creating an extraordinary and unique attraction. Next to the granite boulders I find a beautiful flower. The Hibiscus rosa-sinensis, also known as the Chinese hibiscus, is a tropical flowering plant known for its beautiful, vibrant flowers. These flowers are not only visually attractive, but also play a crucial ecological role because they are nectar productive. A sugary liquid that serves as a food source for various pollinators, including bees, butterflies, hummingbirds and other insects. Nectar is essential to the survival of these pollinators because it gives them the energy they need for flight and sustenance. As these pollinators land on the flowers to collect nectar, they inadvertently transfer pollen from one flower to another, facilitating the plant's reproductive process.
Khao Hin Thoen Stone Park ligt in de provincie Prachuap Khiri Khan in in het smalste stukje van Thailand, dat slechts 15 kilometer breed is, dichtbij de grens met Myanmar (Birma). Khao Hin Theun Stone Park is een heuvelachtig gebied waar veel grote granieten stenen op natuurlijke wijze zijn gestapeld. Het is verbazingwekkend hoe de natuur door de tijd heen deze complexe structuren kan creëren. Vanaf de top van de heuvel kunt u genieten van adembenemende panoramische uitzichten op de Golf van Thailand en de omliggende kustlijn. Slechts enkele kilometers verderop, bij het Singkhon-controlepunt, ligt de grens met Myanmar; een route met een rijke historische betekenis, omdat deze ooit dienst deed als militair pad tijdens de late Ayutthaya-periode. Op de top is ook een afgelegen tempel gebouwd tussen drie grote massieve granieten rotsblokken. Deze tempel, in wezen een open grot, is een verborgen juweeltje dat wordt onderhouden door een eenzame monnik. Deze eerbiedwaardige monnik, nu 78 jaar oud, verblijft hier al meer dan 40 jaar in eenzaamheid. De tempel en het woongedeelte zijn in de grote rotsblokken gebouwd. Deze open tempelgrot is omgeven door weelderige groene bossen en biedt ook de mogelijkheid om te genieten van de natuurlijke schoonheid en rust. Naast de graniet rotsblokken vind ik een mooie bloem. De Hibiscus rosa-sinensis, ook bekend als de Chinese hibiscus, is een tropisch bloeiende plant die bekend staat om zijn prachtige, levendige bloemen. Deze bloemen zijn niet alleen visueel aantrekkelijk, maar spelen ook een cruciale ecologische rol omdat ze nectarproductief zijn. Een suikerachtige vloeistof die dient als voedselbron voor verschillende bestuivers, waaronder bijen, vlinders, kolibries en andere insecten. Nectar is essentieel voor het voortbestaan van deze bestuivers, omdat het hen de energie geeft die ze nodig hebben voor hun vlucht en levensonderhoud. Terwijl deze bestuivers op de bloemen landen om nectar te verzamelen, brengen ze onbedoeld stuifmeel over van de ene bloem naar de andere, waardoor het voortplantingsproces van de plant wordt vergemakkelijkt.
Er zijn wandelpaden beschikbaar voor degenen die willen genieten van de natuurlijke omgeving.

Two different views of Love & Stability by Reilly Creative.
Husband and wife duo Reilly Creative’s design has taken inspiration from Southampton’s flag, designed in 2017. It depicts an anchor and a Tudor rose. They have taken these elements and with a nod to the beautiful windows that can be found in Saint Marys Church, have turned them into a stained-glass effect design. We have called it Love, to represent the delicate rose and Stability, for the strength of an anchor.
Sponsored by Southampton Hospitals Charity
Over the summer of 2024, Southampton Hospitals Charity will be lighting up the South with a large-scale public art event that promises to captivate your senses and ignite your imagination.
There will be 40 8ft magnificent lighthouse sculptures on display through the streets and public spaces of Southampton and Cowes, each one a unique masterpiece designed by artists both local and well renowned, plus 40 mini lighthouses designed by local education groups, creating a family-friendly trail of discovery for visitors and residents to enjoy and explore.
The lighthouses will then be displayed together for a Farewell event in September 2024 which will be a chance to see all lighthouses gathered in one place, a truly unique sight. The sculptures will then go into auction to raise vital funds for Southampton Children’s Hospital.

After a few years of stability, the Cardiff Bus fleet is now seeing a number of interesting changes, with the first batch out of a total of 36 electric Yutongs soon due as replacements for the remaining Transbus and Alexander Dennis Darts, and the remining Scania OmniCity artics.
The first sign of the fleet changes came earlier this year with the acquisition of a dozen Mercedes Citaros from Bus Vannin (numbered 141-52) to see off a number of the Darts and some of the 10 original shape Alexander Dennis Enviro300s. The withdrawal programme has been hastrened by the arrival of four Alexander Dennis E20D MMCs on hire from Mistral (numbered 271-4) and five Wright Solar-bodied Scania L94UBs and K230UBs (numbered 768-72) from Go South Coast's Swindon depot.
My photograph focuses on the latter and shows Scania K230UB 772 cruising down Westgate Street in the City Centre in October 2021. She is distinctive in carrying an all-over blue livery, whilst others retain blue and green.
*Working Towards a Better World
I have been thinking long and hard about why our present day psyche has changed so drastically and have come to the conclusion that we are bringing up our children to focus on the ego, rather than the community. It seems to me that we put too much emphasis on material things and not enough on the spiritual or the whole. Yes, we need to teach our children to succeed and do their best but not at any cost without caring about others. We seem to encourage greed rather than sharing, perhaps we need to concentrate more on cherishing each other, our climate and the environment. When we work as a team we produce more through the sharing of ideas and creativity.
We need to coexist better, be more understanding, less critical, more open, less closed. Together we can achieve a great deal more than alone.
I have chosen the colours black and green because of their meaning found on the Color Pro: Color Meaning website:
www.color-wheel-pro.com/color-meaning.html
"Green
Green is the color of nature. It symbolizes growth, harmony, freshness, and fertility. Green has strong emotional correspondence with safety. Dark green is also commonly associated with money.
Green
"Green has great healing power. It is the most restful color for the human eye; it can improve vision. Green suggests stability and endurance. Sometimes green denotes lack of experience; for example, a 'greenhorn' is a novice. In heraldry, green indicates growth and hope. Green, as opposed to red, means safety; it is the color of free passage in road traffic.
Use green to indicate safety when advertising drugs and medical products. Green is directly related to nature, so you can use it to promote 'green' products. Dull, darker green is commonly associated with money, the financial world, banking, and Wall Street.
Dark green is associated with ambition, greed, and jealousy.
Yellow-green can indicate sickness, cowardice, discord, and jealousy.
Aqua is associated with emotional healing and protection.
Olive green is the traditional color of peace".
Black
"Black is associated with power, elegance, formality, death, evil, and mystery.
Black is a mysterious color associated with fear and the unknown (black holes). It usually has a negative connotation (blacklist, black humor, 'black death'). Black denotes strength and authority; it is considered to be a very formal, elegant, and prestigious color (black tie, black Mercedes). In heraldry, black is the symbol of grief".
Black gives the feeling of perspective and depth, but a black background diminishes readability. A black suit or dress can make you look thinner. When designing for a gallery of art or photography, you can use a black or gray background to make the other colors stand out. Black contrasts well with bright colors. Combined with red or orange – other very powerful colors – black gives a very aggressive color scheme.
Interestingly I have followed a few articles written by the New York Times columnist, David Brooks, who has written recently 3 interesting articles about this subject, On April 7th he wrote an article entitled
"What Candidates Need",
www.nytimes.com/2015/04/07/opinion/david-brooks-what-cand...
then on April 11th he wrote an article entitled
"The Moral Bucket List"
www.nytimes.com/2015/04/12/opinion/sunday/david-brooks-th...
and finally today he wrote an article entitled
"When Cultures Shift"
www.nytimes.com/2015/04/17/opinion/david-brooks-when-cult...
I find that David addresses many of my concerns quite well in these articles so decided to share them with you.
Thank you for your kind visit. Have a wonderful and beautiful day! xo❤️

"Itarrow (ITY) 120" on arrival from Milan. Hopefully the part ownership of ITA by Lufthansa Group brings long term stability and success to the carrier. Would be great to see them in Vancouver someday!
Veliki Draški vrh is not a difficult summit and is for ski touring also a very nice one. But on this ascent we were in doubts if snow stability is safe enough for the summit ascent. In 2085 we still didn't have any standard equipment (shovel, etc.), so my friend was using skis to cut a block of snow to test it. Anyway, we turned around and still had a nice ski tour. (dia scan)
SN/NC: Calotropis Gigantea, Syn. Calotropis Procera, Apocynaceae Family
Calotropis gigantea, the crown flower, is a species of Calotropis native to Cambodia , Indonesia , Malaysia , the Philippines , Thailand , Sri Lanka , India , China , Pakistan , Nepal , and tropical Africa. It is also called Apple of Sodom or Dead Sea Apple.
It is a large shrub growing to 4 m (13 ft) tall. It has clusters of waxy flowers that are either white or lavender in colour. Each flower consists of five pointed petals and a small "crown" rising from the center which holds the stamens . The aestivation found in calotropis is valvate i.e. sepals or petals in a whorl just touch one another at the margin, without overlapping. The plant has oval, light green leaves and milky stem . The latex of Calotropis gigantea contains cardiac glycosides , fatty acids , and calcium oxalate . The flowers are long lasting, and in Thailand they are used in floral arrangements. The extract of flowers and leaves has shown hypoglycemic effect in preclinical studies. They were favored by the Hawaiian Queen Liliuokalani , who considered them a symbol of royalty and wore them strung into leis . In Cambodia , they are used in funerals to decorate the urn or sarcophagus and the interior of the house holding the funeral. The fruit is a follicle and when dry, seed dispersal is by wind . In Indonesia its flowers are called widuri. According to Shivpuran (Hindu religion) the madar flower/crown flower is very much liked by Lord Shiva; therefore the crown flower and its garland are offered to Lord Shiva for peace, prosperity and stability in society. The Crown flower is also one of the major parts of the nine astrological trees (Navagrah tree).
Calotropis gigantea, a flor da coroa (do inglês Crown Flower, pelo seu formato), é uma espécie de Calotropis nativa do Camboja, Indonésia, Malásia, Filipinas, Tailândia, Sri Lanka, Índia, China, Paquistão, Nepal e África tropical. É também chamado Maçã de Sodoma ou Maçã do Mar Morto. É um grande arbusto com até 4 m de altura. Possui cachos de flores de cera brancas ou de lavanda. Cada flor consiste em cinco pétalas pontiagudas e uma pequena "coroa" erguendo-se do centro que contém os estames. A aestivação encontrada em calotropis é valvate, isto é, sépalas ou pétalas em uma espiral apenas se tocam na margem, sem se sobrepor. A planta tem ovais, folhas verdes claras e caule leitoso. O látex de Calotropis gigantea contém glicosídeos cardíacos, ácidos graxos e oxalato de cálcio. As flores são duradouras e, na Tailândia, são usadas em arranjos florais. O extrato de flores e folhas mostrou efeito hipoglicêmico em estudos pré-clínicos. Eles foram favorecidos pela rainha havaiana Liliuokalani, que os considerava um símbolo da realeza e os usava amarrados em leis. No Camboja, eles são usados em funerais para decorar a urna ou sarcófago e o interior da casa que realiza o funeral. A fruta é um folículo e, quando seca, a dispersão das sementes ocorre pelo vento. Na Indonésia, suas flores são chamadas widuri. De acordo com Shivpuran (religião hindu), a madar flor / coroa é muito apreciada pelo Senhor Shiva; portanto, a flor da coroa e sua guirlanda são oferecidas ao Senhor Shiva por paz, prosperidade e estabilidade na sociedade. A flor da coroa também é uma das partes principais das nove árvores astrológicas (árvore Navagrah). No Brasil é conhecida como flor- de-seda, leiteira, algodão-de-seda, queimadeira ou ciúme.
Calotropis gigantea, de kroonbloem, is een soort van Calotropis afkomstig uit Cambodja, Indonesië, Maleisië, de Filippijnen, Thailand, Sri Lanka, India, China, Pakistan, Nepal en tropisch Afrika. Het wordt ook wel Apple of Sodom of Dead Sea Apple genoemd.Het is een grote struik die tot 4 m hoog wordt. Het heeft trossen wasachtige bloemen die wit of lavendel van kleur zijn. Elke bloem bestaat uit vijf puntige bloembladen en een kleine "kroon" die uit het midden oprijst en de meeldraden vasthoudt. De estivatie gevonden in calotropis is valvate d.w.z. kelkblaadjes of bloembladen in een krans raken elkaar gewoon aan de rand, zonder elkaar te overlappen. De plant heeft ovale, lichtgroene bladeren en melkachtige stengel. De latex van Calotropis gigantea bevat hartglycosiden, vetzuren en calciumoxalaat. De bloemen gaan lang mee en worden in Thailand gebruikt in bloemstukken. Het extract van bloemen en bladeren heeft in preklinische studies een hypoglycemisch effect laten zien. Ze werden begunstigd door de Hawaiiaanse koningin Liliuokalani, die hen als een symbool van royalty beschouwde en ze in leis droeg. In Cambodja worden ze gebruikt bij begrafenissen om de urn of sarcofaag en het interieur van het huis met de begrafenis te versieren. De vrucht is een follikel en wanneer het droog is, vindt de verspreiding van het zaad plaats door de wind. In Indonesië worden de bloemen widuri genoemd. Volgens Shivpuran (hindoeïstische religie) is de madarbloem/kroonbloem erg geliefd bij Lord Shiva; daarom worden de kroonbloem en zijn slinger aangeboden aan Lord Shiva voor vrede, welvaart en stabiliteit in de samenleving. De kroonbloem is ook een van de belangrijkste delen van de negen astrologische bomen (Navagrah-boom).

Calotropis gigantea, la fleur de la couronne, est une espèce de Calotropis originaire du Cambodge, d'Indonésie, de Malaisie, des Philippines, de Thaïlande, du Sri Lanka, d'Inde, de Chine, du Pakistan, du Népal et d'Afrique tropicale. On l'appelle aussi pomme de Sodome ou pomme de la mer Morte.
C'est un grand arbuste atteignant 4 m (13 pi) de haut. Il a des grappes de fleurs cireuses de couleur blanche ou lavande. Chaque fleur se compose de cinq pétales pointus et d'une petite "couronne" partant du centre qui contient les étamines. L'estivation trouvée dans calotropis est valvaire, c'est-à-dire que les sépales ou les pétales dans un verticille se touchent juste à la marge, sans se chevaucher. La plante a des feuilles ovales vert clair et une tige laiteuse. Le latex de Calotropis gigantea contient des glycosides cardiaques, des acides gras et de l'oxalate de calcium. Les fleurs durent longtemps et en Thaïlande, elles sont utilisées dans les compositions florales. L'extrait de fleurs et de feuilles a montré un effet hypoglycémiant dans des études précliniques.

Calotropis gigantea, il fiore della corona, è una specie di Calotropis originaria della Cambogia, dell'Indonesia, della Malesia, delle Filippine, della Tailandia, dello Sri Lanka, dell'India, della Cina, del Pakistan, del Nepal e dell'Africa tropicale. Viene chiamata anche Mela di Sodoma o Mela del Mar Morto.
È un grande arbusto che cresce fino a 4 m (13 piedi) di altezza. Ha grappoli di fiori cerosi di colore bianco o lavanda. Ogni fiore è composto da cinque petali appuntiti e da una piccola "corona" che si eleva dal centro che sorregge gli stami. L'estivazione che si trova in calotropis è valvata, cioè i sepali o petali in una spirale si toccano appena al margine, senza sovrapporsi. La pianta ha foglie ovali, di colore verde chiaro e fusto lattiginoso. Il lattice di Calotropis gigantea contiene glicosidi cardiaci, acidi grassi e ossalato di calcio. I fiori sono di lunga durata e in Thailandia sono usati nelle composizioni floreali. L'estratto di fiori e foglie ha mostrato effetti ipoglicemizzanti in studi preclinici. Erano prediletti dalla regina hawaiana Liliuokalani, che li considerava un simbolo di regalità e li indossava legati in leis. In Cambogia vengono utilizzati nei funerali per decorare l'urna o il sarcofago e l'interno della casa che ospita il funerale. Il frutto è un follicolo e quando è secco, la dispersione dei semi avviene per vento. In Indonesia i suoi fiori sono chiamati widuri. Secondo Shivpuran (religione indù) il fiore madar / fiore della corona è molto apprezzato da Lord Shiva; quindi il fiore della corona e la sua ghirlanda sono offerti a Lord Shiva per la pace, la prosperità e la stabilità nella società. Il fiore della corona è anche una delle parti principali dei nove alberi astrologici (albero di Navagrah).
Calotropis gigantea ، زهرة التاج ، هي نوع من Calotropis موطنه كمبوديا وإندونيسيا وماليزيا والفلبين وتايلاند وسريلانكا والهند والصين وباكستان ونيبال وأفريقيا الاستوائية. ويسمى أيضًا تفاح سدوم أو تفاح البحر الميت.
وهي شجيرة كبيرة يصل ارتفاعها إلى 4 أمتار (13 قدمًا). تحتوي على مجموعات من الزهور الشمعية ذات اللون الأبيض أو الخزامى. كل زهرة تتكون من خمس بتلات مدببة و "تاج" صغير يرتفع من المركز الذي يحمل الأسدية. إن aestivation الموجود في calotropis هو valvate ، أي أن الكرات أو البتلات في الزهرة تلمس بعضها البعض فقط على الهامش ، دون تداخل. يحتوي النبات على أوراق بيضاوية وخضراء فاتحة وساق حليبي. يحتوي لاتكس Calotropis gigantea على جليكوسيدات القلب والأحماض الدهنية وأكسالات الكالسيوم. الأزهار طويلة الأمد ، وتستخدم في تايلاند في تنسيق الأزهار. أظهر مستخلص الزهور والأوراق تأثير سكر الدم في الدراسات قبل السريرية. كانوا يفضلون من قبل ملكة هاواي Liliuokalani ، التي اعتبرتهم رمزا للملكية وارتدتهم معلقة في leis. في كمبوديا ، يتم استخدامها في الجنازات لتزيين الجرة أو التابوت الحجري وداخل المنزل الذي يقام الجنازة. الثمرة عبارة عن جريب وعندما تجف ، يتم تشتت البذور بواسطة الرياح. في إندونيسيا تسمى أزهارها ويدوري. وفقًا لشيفبوران (الديانة الهندوسية) ، فإن زهرة مدار / زهرة التاج محبوب جدًا من قبل اللورد شيفا ؛ لذلك يتم تقديم زهرة التاج وإكليلها إلى اللورد شيفا من أجل السلام والازدهار والاستقرار في المجتمع. تعتبر زهرة التاج أيضًا أحد الأجزاء الرئيسية للأشجار الفلكية التسعة (شجرة
نافاغراه).
冠花であるカロトロピス・ギガンテアは、カンボジア、インドネシア、マレーシア、フィリピン、タイ、スリランカ、インド、中国、パキスタン、ネパール、熱帯アフリカ原産のカロトロピスの一種です。 ソドムのリンゴ、死海のリンゴとも呼ばれます。
高さ4メートル（13フィート）に成長する大きな低木です。 白またはラベンダー色のワックス状の花が房状に咲きます。 それぞれの花は、5 つの尖った花びらと、雄しべを保持する中心から立ち上がった小さな「王冠」で構成されています。 カロトロピスで見られる熱意は弁状です。つまり、がく片または花弁が輪になって、重なり合うことなく、縁で互いに接触しているだけです。 植物は楕円形の薄緑色の葉と乳白色の茎を持っています。 Calotropis gigantea の乳液には、強心配糖体、脂肪酸、シュウ酸カルシウムが含まれています。 花持ちが良いので、タイではフラワーアレンジメントに使われます。 花と葉の抽出物は前臨床研究で血糖降下効果が示されています。 これらはハワイの女王リリウオカラニに好まれ、女王はそれらを王族の象徴とみなし、レイに結び付けて身に着けていました。 カンボジアでは、葬儀の際、骨壷や石棺、葬儀を行う家の室内を飾るためにそれらが使用されます。 果実は嚢であり、乾燥すると種子が風によって散布されます。 インドネシアではその花はウィドゥリと呼ばれます。 シヴプラン（ヒンズー教）によれば、マダールの花/王冠の花はシヴァ神にとても好まれています。 したがって、冠の花とその花輪は、社会の平和、繁栄、安定のためにシヴァ神に捧げられます。 クラウンフラワーは、9 つの占星術の木 (ナヴァグラの木) の主要部分の 1 つでもあります。

During testing, the stability augmentation system required a lot of fine-tuning. Although the Arrow was not the first aircraft to use such a system, it was one of the first to use a three axes system that other aircraft did not and was consequently problematic. But, this was not the only advanced system developed for the Arrow. Avro’s engineers had created the first non-experimental fly-by-wire control system in an aircraft and a nvaigational computer that used real-time telemetry. The Arrow’s thin wings also nbecessitated the first 4,000 lb/in2 (28 MPa) hydraulic system to supply enough force to the control surfaces using small actuators and piping. The fly-by-wire system used the pilot’s inputs to activate a series of pressure-sensitive transducers in the control stick that sent the signal to an electronic control servo that operated the valves in the hydraulic system to move the various flight controls. This resulted in a lack of control feel so to recreate the mechanical sense, the same electronic control box partly responded to the hydraulic back-pressure fluctuations and triggered actuators in the stick, making it move slightly. Test pilots came to call this “artifical feel” and was an aviation first.
In this image, RL-203 shoots through the skies in southern Ontario. All of the flight tests were conducted at Malton airport. However, on 2 February 1959, a TCA Viscount passenger airplane crash-landed in Toronto, nessistating the test flight be diverted and landing at CFB Trenton. Note the wing fences extending from the dog-tooth to control airflow over the wing. The fences for swept-wing aircraft keep airflow from bleeding to the wingtips and creating a nose-down pitching moment, thus preventing the entire wing from stalling. Soviet aircraft designers employed this technique on several of their aircraft; Western examples are limited.

...the Winds, intrinsic by its nature
to support the Wings of flying Birds
supplying density of ether to promote
stability of motion to reign afloat, above
green grass, & storming waters, above
skyscrapers shaking as mirage in dry
desert somewhere & beyond imagination
& common sense perceptible by our eyes,
& equal to verbal innuendo transparent in
realm of vanished steps in firmaments
& bluish Skies, compiling memories &
flying nouns, symbolic coloring of feathers,
even tails while skillful pirouettes attached
to lens & eyes in canvas-atmosphere supplied
by definition predisposed to freely glide
released from yoke of gravitation infesting
totally keyboard, by virtue of composing verse
by mind, old pen, used pencils, paper pile,
as paradigm to revive vain pulse & voice of
sentimental (better say - "emotional"!) libretto,
its proper sounds warmed by a-Capella's
resonance reminding passions of Choral,
sole unity of nouns, its bliss & charm defining
days before, existed but already gone,
by efforts-syllables of every single vowel
by running limping clocks, by holding
memories of individual & personal realm,
routine exchange between variety of Nature's
artifacts, intangible, but highly valued by its
importance:
the drops of Rain,
the trajectory denoting flying Birds,
anticipation to record hues-colors after
Rain, suspended Rainbow as cherished
print on Retina, neuronal marker of speech
aloud, & sonorous imprint from all
around & within semantically embedded
on behalf to stay alive, & to survive in wild
environment enhanced by modern grammar,
already predisposed to cacophony & grotesque of
screams, its echoes, repeating imminence of daily
masquerade & propaganda, its obvious B..l S..t
within its narrative, agenda, ritual
of tidal rise & slow Market-downs,
plus silent foliage at odd & even nights,
its naivete composing sole abstract
of urbanity's dependence co-exist in caves,
subways, in midst of traffic lights
without rage, et-cetera...
Since memory dictates summation, rigor
of stable nouns, verbs, adverbs,
conjunctions, archaic logic interjections
encapsulated in valid disarray of fluid
prepositions: grammatical "adrenaline"
to fix climatic pattern, inhibit Polar hail
& speed of fallen drops, & shape
of snow flakes, & timbre of thunder-bolts,
by changing Energy & Time & Space,
by utter fallacy of creeping argument.
Alas.
...the Wind, the Rain, the calming Snow, all
attributes reality from plane and horizontal
lines evoked Sunrise still running daily to
advent such subtle reign of memories:
Today. About Yesterday.
As Memory from blurring lens in size of print
residing in format of 35 em-em by fodius.
Or - canvas & pigments, or - metal.
Or, even silver prints.
In Black & White for academia tradition.
Dramatic a-Gestalt additional aspect to bust
imagination in cortical proximity within.
...but rushing back-&-forth
to mirrored bliss still shuffled feelings
of breeze touched skin,
& herbal scents of meadows in bloom
recorded by deepest I-ness and
visceral instinct existent, utter Ego before a
Times acclaimed distinction, & more prosaic
than inner Prose, reflecting epitomes
by speaking for subtlest embodiment
of flock of Birds, or any other pattern,
any objects, & forming artifacts,
or - sooner subjects of attraction
as bright as photophobia's accord
to torture eyes ajar,
to store imprint & focus on Retina,
transforming scant perception
of an illusion into precious gift:
Almighty's grant.
As memory. As facts.
As sole summation of perished vibes:
- the foggy lights in rainy night, Boulevard
de Clichy. Paris, 1982;
- the smell Espresso in Rodilla. 1996. Madrid;
- Roll-up-makhorka in Taiga, 1973. My Mother
smoked in labor camps. Since 1941. GULAG.
As memory. As fact...

I have been going through all million of the shots i took in July of anything and everything...debated about a few different ones for week 3. It is still very tough sometimes to get in front of the camera...with a 20 sec timer you can start giggling about things that make you laugh.
it has been a tough month for me, probably more emotional than most...but I don't hold onto it for long. I could go a year, maybe 2 without shedding a tear. Even to me it sounds cold as i type it...but so not true at all. I have a real hard time crying and a real hard time letting people see me cry or know about it...maybe that is why i have laughed harder this month than most. One of my biggest things is I believe to a degree in attracting what energy you give, i believe that if I stay with a sad thought....more will follow. I have to dump it out one way or another, and it is usually through art. Photography is such gratifying art when it comes to this. I would be painting for 1000 years the pictures I would need to paint for the thoughts that dance in my mind.
ohhh you are so going to get this thrown at you again...but Picasso is my main man for quotes
and
"Art washes away from the soul the dust of everyday life"
Count the stars. Stability seems to be my biggest challenge using only a gorilla pod for these stitched night shots. Just can’t bring myself to carry the weight of a more sturdy tripod on an overnight hike. I tried carrying one a couple years ago and learned the hard way. I was pleased this time to at least have a calm enough surface for some reflection.
