'E.T.'
You're so hypnotizing
Could you be the devil, could you be an angel
Your touch magnetizing
Feels like I'm floating, leaves my body glowing
They say be afraid
You're not like the others, futuristic lovers
Different DNA, they don't understand you
You're from a whole other world
A different dimension
You open my eyes
And I'm ready to go, lead me into the light
Kiss me, k-k-kiss me
Infect me with your love and fill me with your poison
Take me, t-t-take me
Wanna be a victim, ready for abduction
Boy, you're an alien, your touch so foreign
Its supernatural, extraterrestrial
You're so supersonic
Wanna feel your powers, stun me with your lasers
Your kiss is cosmic, every move is magic
You're from a whole other world
A different dimension
You open my eyes
And I'm ready to go, lead me into the light
Kiss me, k-k-kiss me
Infect me with your love, and fill me with your poison
Take me, t-t-take me
Wanna be your victim, ready for abduction
Boy, you're an alien, your touch so foreign
Its supernatural, extraterrestrial
There is this transcendental, on another level
Boy, you're my lucky star
I wanna walk on your wave length
And be there when you vibrate
For you I risk it all, all
Kiss me, k-k-kiss me
Infect me with your love and fill me with your poison
Take me, t-t-take me
Wanna be your victim, ready for abduction
Boy, you're an alien, your touch so foreign
It's supernatural, extraterrestrial
Extraterrestrial, extraterrestrial
Boy, you're an alien, your touch so foreign
Its supernatural, extraterrestrial

An annual event, a lone sea gull arrives at the lake at about this time, soon to be followed by others in varying numbers from year to year. Yet another harbinger to the end of another season....but somehow a more transcendental and melancholic one, at least until the others arrive.
I learned today of the loss of another beloved pet among my contacts. One of the unexpected results of active Flickr participation is that you get to know these creatures and know of the love attached to them...and thus the heartbreak and emptiness associated with their leaving is felt and shared. I have never been good at this and consider nothing in the world more difficult than saying good-bye to such a devoted companion. I'm not sure if there is a heaven for humans...I am absolutely certain one exists for our pets.
The Palatine Chapel is the royal chapel of the Norman Palace in Palermo, Sicily. This building is a mixture of Byzantine, Norman and Fatimid architectural styles, showing the tricultural state of Sicily during the 12th century after Roger I and Robert Guiscard conquered the island.
Also referred to as a Palace church or Palace chapel, it was commissioned by Roger II of Sicily in 1132 to be built upon an older chapel (now the crypt) constructed around 1080. It took eight years to build, receiving a royal charter the same year, with the mosaics being only partially finished by 1143. The sanctuary, dedicated to Saint Peter, is reminiscent of a domed basilica. It has three apses, as is usual in Byzantine architecture, with six pointed arches (three on each side of the central nave) resting on recycled classical columns. The muqarnas ceiling of the nave and the chapel's rectilinear form show the Fatimid influence in the building's construction.
The mosaics of the Palatine Chapel are of unparalleled elegance as concerns elongated proportions and streaming draperies of figures. They are also noted for subtle modulations of colour and luminance. The oldest are probably those covering the ceiling, the drum, and the dome. The shimmering mosaics of the transept, presumably dating from the 1140s and attributed to Byzantine artists, with an illustrated scene, along the north wall, of St. John in the desert and a landscape of Agnus Dei. Below this are five saints, the Greek fathers of the church, St. Gregory of Nissa, St. Gregory the Theologian, St. Basil, St. John Chrysostom and St. Nicholas. The three central figures, St. Gregory, St. Basil, and St. John Chrysostom, are the Three Great Orthodox Church Fathers referred to as the Three Hierarchs, which originated fifty years earlier. Every composition is set within an ornamental frame, not dissimilar to that used in contemporaneous mosaic icons.
The rest of the mosaics, dated to the 1160s or the 1170s, are executed in a cruder manner and feature Latin (rather than Greek) inscriptions. Probably a work of local craftsmen, these pieces are more narrative and illustrative than transcendental. A few mosaics have a secular character and represent oriental flora and fauna. This may be the only substantial passage of secular Byzantine mosaic extant today.

A deliberate attmept to set the poetry of Rumi to an associated image. First inspired by a recording of some of the most sublime music I've ever heard by Jon Hassell, "Last Night the Moon Came Dropping its Clothes in the Street" ( on ECM ), I went in search of the original Rumi poem. Thanks to Hassell's notes, I found it in Coleman Barks' impeccable translation, "The Essential Rumi". The poem is called "The New Rule".
I've expanded Hassell's truncated title by incorporating the entire second verse, one that speaks eloquently of Rumi's passionate and transcendental devotion.
Both Paul Ewing and Miguel de Ozarko have both mentioned that my work has possible connections to David Hockney's "Joiners", assemblies of photographs that question a single view of time and place. Miguel sent me a You Tube link and I watched in fascination as Hockney described his method. I found that I really liked both the man and his work. I had passed over Hockney in Art School and never paid him much attention. So I think both Miguel and Paul for their exposure and widening of my Art knowledge.
Old photo manipulated, SOOC photographs layered and blended along with stock images of the moon and its phases from Google Images.

Tegenungan Waterfall, located near Ubud, Bali, is a stunning natural attraction surrounded by lush greenery. The waterfall cascades from a rocky cliff above into a shallow pool below. Visitors often climb close to the waterfall – like the woman in my photo – to capture a transcendental experience.

About as close as I get to seeing or accepting an American church. The Hudson Valley intellectual scene has always been vibrant. The Transcendental movement did well here and I see it happening again.
Phil Collins - The Book Of Love
www.youtube.com/watch?v=FmnDXRJ7btE
The book of love is long and boring
No one can lift the damn thing
It's full of charts and facts, and figures
And instructions for dancing
But I
I love it when you read to me.
And you
You can read me anything.
The book of love has music in it
In fact that's where music comes from
Some of it's just transcendental
Some of it's just really dumb
But I
I love it when you sing to me
And you
You can sing me anything
The book of love is long and boring
And written very long ago
It's full of flowers and heart-shaped boxes
And things we're all too young to know
But I
I love it when you give me things
And you
You ought to give me wedding rings
And I
I love it when you give me things
And you
You ought to give me wedding rings
You ought to give me
Wedding rings

It was on a frosty Winter morning , breathtakingly beautiful (Eure et Loir .around Chartres. Beauce .France)
a slight blue mist was rising from the ground , reaching the base of frosted trees
One of those brief magical moments , giving the feeling that time has been suspended.....weightless
.....impalpable .....As well as some pieces of music
Sorry for the lyrical emphasis :))
==============================================
C'était un matin d'hiver , glacial , d'une beauté à couper le souffle ( aux alentours de Chartres . Eure et Loir .Beauce - France )
Une légère brume bleutée s'élevait du sol ,atteignant la base des arbres givrés
Un de ces courts instants magiques qui donnent l'impression que le temps a été suspendu
... en apesanteur........impalpable........de même certaines musiques
Beurk , je deviens lyrique !

standing on the ice at sunrise, Lake Michigan, Upper Peninsula, Michigan - December 19 2024
-notes-
If you ever get a chance to stand on an iced over body of water, do it. It's otherworldly. The sounds of a monumental force beneath your feet ebbing and flowing, making the rocks crack and ice groan, echoing across the surface, is a little bit transcendental.

See more about this story “ SAKURA”
Hanami in Saint Petersburg 2022
Hanami (花見, "flower viewing") is the Japanese traditional custom of enjoying the transient beauty of flowers; flowers (花, hana) in this case almost always refer to those of the cherry (桜, sakura) or, less frequently, plum (梅, ume) trees.From the end of March to early May, cherry trees bloom all over Japan,and around the first of February on the island of Okinawa.The blossom forecast (桜前線, sakura-zensen) "cherry blossom front" is announced each year by the Japan Meteorological Agency, and is watched carefully by those planning hanami as the blossoms only last a week or two.
In modern-day Japan, hanami mostly consists of having an outdoor party beneath the sakura during daytime or at night. In some contexts the Sino-Japanese term kan'ō (観桜, view-cherry) is used instead, particularly for festivals. Hanami at night is called yozakura (夜桜) "night sakura". In many places such as Ueno Park temporary paper lanterns are hung for the purpose of yozakura. On the island of Okinawa, decorative electric lanterns are hung in the trees for evening enjoyment, such as on the trees ascending Mt. Yae, near Motobu Town, or at the Nakijin Castle.
A more ancient form of hanami also exists in Japan, which is enjoying the plum blossoms instead, which is narrowly referred to as umemi (梅見, plum-viewing). This kind of hanami is popular among older people, because they are calmer than the sakura parties, which usually involve younger people and can sometimes be very crowded and noisy.
- Cardiacs - Is This The Life?
Following around to see a life that's never in
Always calling itself on its own phone
Though it's never quite at home in the world today
See it to arranging the day
Prepared in its own
Special way
With added loving care
THOUGH IT'S NOT BEEN THERE SINCE YESTERDAY
Looking so hard for a cause
And it don't care what it is
And never really ever seeing eye to eye
Though it doesn't really mind
Perhaps that's why
It never really saw
Never really saw...
Saw...
The ancient Angkor Wat temple complex in northwestern Cambodia is regarded as the supreme masterpiece of classic Khmer architecture and source of intense national pride. It was built as a mausoleum for a great medieval king (Suryavarman II, 1113-1150) whose regime had adopted some aspects of Hinduism.
The infinity POV in this remarkable southern section of the east gallery follows through a corbel-roofed colonnade with a long sequence of columns. Typically seated at the base of each column are rishis or bearded ascetics. To the left of the arcade is perhaps the most famous of the bas-relief scenes at Angkor Wat, the Churning of the Ocean of Milk. It depicts an epic chapter in the Hindu creation myth and is seen as a paragon of classic Khmer art.
It is also a story about the victory of good over evil. The devas (gods) and the asuras (demons) are portrayed in a metaphoric tug-of-war with the Naga or serpent king as their divine rope, while overhead a ubiquitous host of asparas or celestial maidens sing and dance in encouragement.
Anchor Wat contains the longest continuous series of bas-reliefs in the world with a complete iconographical record of Hindu mythology, including the Khmer version of scenes drawn from epic Indian legends of the Mahabharata and the Ramayana. The beautifully carved sandstone reliefs also depict scenes from ancient Khmer courtly and military life, including a triumphal battle march with the king and his commanders mounted on war elephants.
This grand architectural endeavour contributed to the notion that the king was an incarnation of the Hindu god Vishnu. He was depicted as a deified monarch with transcendental qualities, a divine universal ruler, hence a “god who is king.” The myth provided the religious rationale for absolute royal authority and subject obedience.
