The song of this soul
in the hollow of my ear
calls my dream
to its opera
I would like it in your arms
endlessly, without waiting
it is the Creator
who enters homes
to forge the world
He understands the languages
of each human being born
the clarity
for Him everything is simple
He knows the deep needs
of which we do not speak
the impious and the pious
can turn to Him
in lightness
when His art operates
like a wind in music
synchronous vibrations
The song of this soul
has no roof
but your artistic body
poet in the wind
you make its supports tremble
its woman's legs
mysterious flesh
the soul in me is not present
it is on earth
welcoming its step
the invisible is never seen
through the skin
it is the light
coming from beyond the body
that she wears, queen
serene is her voice
when she says a word to you
that kisses the air
wonderful kiss
that embraces you both -
the unique music.

Arrived mid afternoon so infrared was my best option for photos.
The Very Large Array was pretty impressive, especially when all the antennae moved synchronously.
Happy Fence Friday!
Wie man einen Sol LeWitt um die Ecke bringt ...
;-) ...
Solomon “Sol” LeWitt (* September 9, 1928 in Hartford, Connecticut; † April 8, 2007 in New York) was an American minimalist artist. He developed the term Conceptual Art.
English
LeWitt attended Syracuse University in New York from 1945 to 1949 before spending a year in Korea and Japan with the US Army in 1951. In 1953, he attended the Cartoonist and Illustration School in New York and worked as a graphic artist for the architect Ieoh Ming Pei from 1955 to 1956. From 1960 to 1965 he worked at the Museum of Modern Art, where he made the acquaintance of Dan Flavin, Robert Ryman, Robert Mangold and Scott Burton. Between 1964 and 1971 he worked at various institutions, including the Museum of Arts School, taught at Cooper Union, the School of Visual Arts and the Education Department of New York University. In 1976, together with Lucy Lippard, he founded the publishing house Printed Matter to organize the distribution of artists' books.
Sol LeWitt's work was based on the constructivism of the Bauhaus and the Dutch artists' association De Stijl. Sol LeWitt developed the ideas of these styles further and experimented with architectural spatial structures, grid patterns and grid constructions, which he reduced to a minimum. The artist recorded his work in numerous documentations that reflect his view of art theory.
In his theoretical work Paragraphs on Conceptual Art from 1967, with which he became an important stimulus for Conceptual Art, he defined his art as “conceptual” - in contrast to visually oriented “perceptual art” - as it was primarily of intellectual interest to the viewer. Here, the idea, the concept of a work is in the foreground.
In his works, which have also been exhibited several times at the Museum of Modern Art in New York, lattice structures made of wood and/or metal appear again and again. Early works include drawings and prints with fine line and grid structures as well as large geometric grid objects. Large colored wall drawings followed from 1968. Sol LeWitt was a four-time participant in the documenta in Kassel from 1968 to 1982.
In 1979, Sol LeWitt developed a video work for Lucinda Child's dance piece Dance. During the live performances, film footage of the piece is projected synchronously onto the stage via a meter-high, transparent screen, so that the dancers interact with their cinematic alter egos. The video projection, in which the dancers dance on a gridded floor, serves as the only stage set for the piece. Dance is now one of the classics of the avant-garde and had a decisive influence on postmodern dance.

Wie man einen Sol LeWitt um die Ecke bringt ;-) ...
Solomon „Sol“ LeWitt (* 9. September 1928 in Hartford, Connecticut; † 8. April 2007 in New York) war ein US-amerikanischer Künstler des Minimalismus. Er entwickelte den Begriff Konzeptkunst (engl. Conceptual Art).
LeWitt besuchte von 1945 bis 1949 die Syracuse University in New York, bevor er 1951 für ein Jahr mit der US-Armee nach Korea und Japan ging. 1953 besuchte er die „Cartoonist and Illustration School“ in New York und arbeitete von 1955 bis 1956 als Grafiker für den Architekten Ieoh Ming Pei. Von 1960 bis 1965 arbeitete er am Museum of Modern Art, wo er Bekanntschaft mit Dan Flavin, Robert Ryman, Robert Mangold und Scott Burton machte. Zwischen 1964 und 1971 war er an verschiedenen Instituten tätig, so an der „Museum of Arts School“, unterrichtete an der Cooper Union, sowie an der School of Visual Arts und am „Education Department“ der New York University. 1976 gründete er zusammen mit Lucy Lippard den Verlag Printed Matter, um einen Vertrieb von Künstlerbüchern zu organisieren.
Sol LeWitts Werk basierte auf dem Konstruktivismus des Bauhauses sowie der niederländischen Künstlervereinigung De Stijl. Sol LeWitt entwickelte die Ideen dieser Stilrichtungen weiter und experimentierte mit architektonischen Raumstrukturen, Gittermustern und Rasterkonstruktionen, die er auf ein Minimum reduzierte. Seine Arbeiten hielt der Künstler in zahlreichen Dokumentationen fest, die seine Auffassung der Kunsttheorie reflektieren.
In 1989, he was elected an associate member of the Académie royale des Sciences, des Lettres et des Beaux-Arts de Belgique (Classe des Beaux-Arts)
n seinem theoretischen Werk Paragraphs on Conceptual Art von 1967, mit dem er zu einem wichtigen Anreger der Conceptual Art wurde, definierte er seine Kunst als „begrifflich“ – im Gegensatz zur optisch orientierten „Wahrnehmungskunst“ –, da sie für den Betrachter vornehmlich in geistiger Hinsicht interessant sei. Hierbei steht die Idee, das Konzept eines Werkes im Vordergrund.
In seinen Werken, die auch mehrfach im „Museum of Modern Art“ in New York ausgestellt wurden, tauchen immer wieder Gitterstrukturen aus Holz und/oder Metall auf. Frühe Werke sind Zeichnungen und Drucke mit feinen Linien- und Gitterstrukturen sowie große geometrische Gitterobjekte. Ab 1968 folgen große farbige Wandzeichnungen. Sol LeWitt war von 1968 bis 1982 vierfacher Teilnehmer der documenta in Kassel.
1979 entwickelte Sol LeWitt eine Videoarbeit für Lucinda Childs Tanzstück Dance. Filmaufnahmen des Stückes werden während der Live-Aufführungen über eine meterhohe, transparente Leinwand synchron auf die Bühne projiziert, so dass die Tänzer mit ihrem filmischen Alter Ego interagieren. Die Videoprojektion, in der die Tänzer auf einem gerasterten Boden tanzen, dient dem Stück als einziges Bühnenbild. Dance zählt heute zu den Klassikern der Avantgarde und beeinflusste den postmodernen Tanz entscheidend.
1989 wurde er zum assoziierten Mitglied der Académie royale des Sciences, des Lettres et des Beaux-Arts de Belgique (Classe des Beaux-Arts) gewählt.
Sol LeWitt lebte und arbeitete in Chester in Connecticut und in Spoleto, Italien, erzählte mir, wie oft, meine Freundin Wiki ...
I caught the moon setting yesterday morning, more or less synchronously with the sun rising.
This is the first full moon of 2025, and so it's a wolf moon. Sadly, there were no wolves to see it in Novato, just Della, my wolf-wannabe, and she was more interested in gophers.
SNCF/Alstom test loco BB 20011, with synchronous traction equipment, paid a visit to the Netherlands in November 1986 to carry out trials on the Dutch 1500 V DC network. BB 20011 with a former plan D or K measurement coach and a consist of NS plan E coaches running a test train Amsterdam - Rotterdam at Nieuwerkerk aan de IJssel on 14 November 1986.
The SNCF BB 20011 and SNCF BB 20012 were electric locomotives used for testing, built by Alstom between 1985 and 1986. The two locomotives were the synchronous dual-voltage prototypes for Class BB 26000 Sybic. In 1995 the locomotives were converted to standard class BB 22200.

Boats and fisherman and fishing nets- in this southern Indian state, you can still see them plenty- the synchronous, rhythmic movements of the fisherman seem almost like poetry. There’s a video in my earlier post.
Am 25.04.1998 ist 219 168 mit RB 5276 unter der Roßweiner Signalbrücke in Richtung Leipzig unterwegs. Bei genauen Betrachten fällt auf, dass im Hintergrund ein weiterer Zug nach Niederwiesa ebenfalls Ausfahrt hat. Leider lies sich keine synchrone Doppelausfahrt fotografieren.

On April 25, 1998, 219 168 with RB 5276 is on its way under the Roßwein signal bridge towards Leipzig. If you look closely, you will notice that another train to Niederwiesa can also be seen in the background. Unfortunately, no synchronous departure could be photographed.

De sluis van Hansweert scheidt het Kanaal door Zuid-Beveland van de Westerschelde. Er zijn getijden aan beide zijden van de sluis, het kanaal heeft de waterstand van de Oosterschelde, ook een getijdengebied als de Westerschelde, maar natuurlijk niet synchroon. De "klok" op het gebouw geeft de waterstand ten opzichte van NAP aan -- welke precies (d.w.z. Oosterschelde of Westerschelde, of de huidige in de sluis) weet ik nu niet...

Die Schleuse Hansweert trennt den Kanaal door Zuid-Beveland von der Westerschelde. Auf beiden Seiten der Schleuse gibt es Gezeiten, der Kanal hat den Wasserstand der Oosterschelde, auch ein Gezeitenrevier wie die Westerschelde, aber natürlich nicht synchron. Die "Uhr" auf dem Gebäude zeigt den Wasserstand relativ zum NAP an -- welchen genau (also Ooster- oder Westerschelde, oder den aktuellen in der Schleuse) weiß ich jetzt auch nicht...
The Hansweert lock separates the Kanaal door Zuid-Beveland from the Westerschelde. There are tides on both sides of the lock, the canal has the water level of the Oosterschelde, also a tidal area like the Westerschelde, but of course not synchronous. The "clock" on the building shows the water level relative to the NAP -- which one exactly (i.e. Oosterschelde or Westerschelde, or the current one in the lock) I don't know now...
This is a small tit, 10–11.5 cm (3.9–4.5 in) in length with a finely pointed bill and a relatively long tail. The head is light grey with a black "mask" through the eye. The back is chestnut brown. The sexes are very similar in appearance, but the male has a broader mask and a more rufous back
The eggs are laid from end of April to the beginning of July. The nest is suspended from thin long branches of trees such as willow (Salix), elm (Ulmus) or birch (Betula), often over water. The nest can also sometimes be suspended between two or three reeds (Typha) only a meter or so above the water. The nest is a large free hanging pouch-shaped structure, approximately 25 cm (9.8 in) in height and 17 cm (6.7 in) in diameter. It is made of plant fibres, grass, hair and wool with an entrance tube at one side. Both sexes contribute to the construction which takes around 20 days. Eggs are laid daily. The clutch contains 6 to 8 white eggs which measure 16.2 mm × 10.7 mm (0.64 in × 0.42 in) and weigh 0.95 g (0.034 oz). Incubation starts after the last egg is laid and lasts for 14 days. The eggs are incubated by either the male or more usually the female, but not by both. The hatching is synchronous. The young are cared for by either the male or the female but rarely by both parents. The nestlings are fed larval insects and spiders. The nestlings fledge at around 22 days of age. The parents will sometimes attempt to raise a second brood, but this is rarely successful.
My friend, Mr. Gambel's Quail perched smack in the middle of the Gilbert Riparian Preserve. Though common, I do appreciate the corpulent form and spiffy topknot of the species. One study found that the lady quails don't really care about the size of male's topknot. However the male with the most glorious topknot does take on a leadership role with the flock. Something else interesting I learned about the species is that just before the eggs hatch, Momma Quail will call to her chicks who will peep out an answering call from within the shell. Then they hatch synchronously. Tadaaaa! Who knew synchronized hatching was a thing?
This wild show started at the top of the cliffs, where one chick got the prey in an aerial exchange from mom. Next thing that happened was a sibling also grabbed the prey(which was a partially eaten pigeon). Now you had 4 talons firmly planted on prey and falcons that were not in any kind of synchronous flying direction or rhythm.. Amazing to me that they flew locked on to prey from top of cliff to the bottom before one pulled free. Mom trailing with a watchful eye ready to step in and help if needed.

Three Bar-headed Geese (Anser indicus) were marching along an elevated land with overloaded cuteness while a cattle egret was seeking for its lunch in the foreground. The synchronous walking moves and the beautiful backdrop bokeh made a charming composition here. Pics was taken from Bharatpur, Rajasthan, India.
Every year people flock to the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, for a number of reasons really, including to see the fireflies. The park has some rare synchronous fireflies that blink in unison, but also just the normal fireflies are pretty incredible as well!
For this shot I'd been looking for a scene where I could incorporate Cygnus (the Swan constellation) and this tree lined up nicely. Next I just let the camera run for over 2 hours and the fireflies did their thing!

It was that time of year again last couple of weeks. The synchronous fireflies in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park had rendered a great show we had experienced. Coupled with the sounds of flowing water in the creeks, the light show did put us in a dreaming land.
Pelicans can be graceful, almost "ballet'ic" in synchronous flight or in the water—but pelicans can also display complete disharmony! There wasn't quite enough room on the log for the whole group, and of course there's always the "odd man out"!

It seems that part of the courtship dance is waving the head - at times not quite synchronously as seen here.
And an unknown bird. I thought it was a female Brown-headed Cowbird, but the males don't have black bodies with brown heads. Perhaps we only have females?
A juvenile European Starling, writes Don Delaney. Makes sense; we have seen swooping starlings in synchronous movement. How do they know?
I liked the photo for the impending storm with the bird on the dead tree. This is only cropped.

Here's my final shot (I think?) for this years firefly series. More synchronous fireflies! I considered this area to be among the best I've seen in the 4 years of doing this. In fact I had planned on going back my last night but there were some really wicked thunderstorms rolling in and I had to call it off for the night. With no cell phone service, it's the last thing you want to get caught off guard by.
I hope you enjoyed these. It's a huge investment of time. Both on site scouting for possible locations, and the hours of editing per shot. I'll be doing a full story on my web site soon too.
St. Govan's Head, Pembrokeshire. Bonus bird from the Magnolia trip. A good number of these around the headland, this was perched on a low cliff and came down to investigate. Watching them synchronously bouncing up and down in the wind is quite a sight. Thanks for any likes/comments - appreciated.

Excerpt from en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tobu_500_series:
The Tobu 500 series (東武500系, Tōbu 500-kei), branded Revaty (リバティ), is an electric multiple unit (EMU) train type operated by the private railway operator Tobu Railway on limited express services in Japan since 21 April 2017. As of September 2020, 11 three-car sets (33 vehicles in total) have been built by Kawasaki Heavy Industries.
Design
The trains were built by Kawasaki Heavy Industries, with exterior and interior styling overseen by Japanese industrial designer Ken Okuyama. The driving cabs at each end of the three-car trainsets includes an automatically extending gangway connection to allow trains to be coupled or split en-route.
The trains have active suspension, a first for trains operated by Tobu, and use permanent-magnet synchronous motor (PMSM) traction motors.
Naming
The trains are branded Revaty (リバティ), a name derived from the English words "Variety" and "Liberty".
Exterior
The exterior livery consists of "champagne beige" with "forest green" and "future blue" (Tobu's corporate colour) highlights around the windows.
Interior
Each three-car set has a seating capacity of 161 passengers. Seat pitch is 1,000 mm (39 in). Interior lighting is LED lighting. Wi-Fi and at-seat AC power sockets are provided.
The automated on-board passenger announcements use the voice of TV presenter Tomomi Kuno.

The best part about visiting the Redwood forests of Northern California in addition to the spectacular trees are coastal scenes like this. I went for a hike and saw these flowers blooming by the cliffside. When the colors changed at sunset the flowers glowed synchronously with the pink hues of the sky.
Man in his weakness and shortsightedness believes he must make choices in this life. He trembles at the risks he takes. We do know fear. But no. Our choice is of no importance. There comes a time when our eyes are opened. And we come to realize that mercy is infinite. We need only to await it with confidence and receive it with gratitude. Mercy imposes no conditions.
An lo! Everything we have chosen is granted to us. And everything we have rejected has also been granted. Yes, we get back even what we have rejected. For mercy and truth have met together. Righteousness and bless shall kiss one another.

/****************
“At the center of our being is a point of nothingness which is untouched by sin and by illusion, a point of pure truth, a point or spark which belongs entirely to God, which is never at our disposal, from which God disposes of our lives, which is inaccessible to the fantasies of our own mind or the brutalities of our own will. This little point of nothingness and of absolute poverty is the pure glory of God in us. It is so to speak His name written in us, as our poverty, as our indigence, as our dependence, as our sonship. It is like a pure diamond, blazing with the invisible light of heaven. It is in everybody, and if we could see it we would see these billions of points of light coming together in the face and blaze of a sun that would make all the darkness and cruelty of life vanish completely ... I have no program for this seeing. It is only given. But the gate of heaven is every- where.”
-Thomas Merton, Conjectures of a Guilty Bystander

"Look!" Rafe suddenly exclaimed and pointed fiercely toward the east. I turned toward the east and saw a perfect sliver of a crescent moon, brilliantly poised for its October debut, so delicate and perfectly suspended in the luminous night sky that it almost took my breath away.
"Look again," he said. I did, and then I saw what he was so fixedly pointing to. There behind that delicate sliver of a new moon was the perfect outline of the full moon, completely round and whole.
"What we have to be is what we already are."
You sit with this koan for a while, and suddenly you see the secret, which like all koans is so obvious once you've finally grasped it. Time doesn't flow in a linear direction. Never did, never will. It spirals out, like a nautilus shell, from the worm hole of the point vierge, weaving a tapestry of finitude as the glory of God. We are full at point of origin, and from that fullness flow out synchronously, into time. Like the moon, growing toward what it already is. Meaningful coincidence, not ruthless linear causality, knits our hearts onto the poetry of God's body. And if we can learn to flow in this direction-learning to row a rowboat, facing our origin, and hence effortlessly flowing toward your destination, the journey through time becomes a sacrament of God's own compassionate aliveness.
-Cynthia Bourgeault, Becoming What We are, essay in We are Already One, Thomas Merton's Message of Hope

What was extra special about this sighting was that I got to observe the synchronous movement of these little larvae for which they are known.

One of the highlights of the courtship of the great crested grebe (Podiceps cristatus): the weed dance. The bond between the two is strengthened by the synchronous choreography already in a cold but beautiful early morning.

Astrophytum asterias. Starr County, Texas - March 2018.
A. asterias is another of Texas's spineless cactus species. It is the most range-restricted of the three, and is known from only a few populations in extreme southern Texas and adjacent northern Mexico. It is listed as federally endangered.
This individual is part of a large population on conservation land. It is surrounded by Varilla texana, a commonly associated species and an indicator of high quality thornscrub grassland. A. asterias typically bloom synchronously following spring rains, though a handful of stragglers can typically be found. It is hard to predict when this mass bloom may occur, especially when coming from across the state. We really lucked out during this visit, as the one day we had to explore this property happened to coincide with a mass bloom event.
