- 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.

Taking pictures a tool (camera), not a photographer.
The choice of tool limits the possibilities.
Experience allows him (instrument) less and less to limit their capabilities.
The ability to see is given only when the observer allows ...
The moment of observation is the real find ...
Training and mastering it defies. Training leads to poor imitations of the original.
Often the result should ripen, like wine. Although time is the understanding of the mind, therefore it is very speculative.
The meaning of all this is the process!

Often we are visited by thoughts that may reveal something unknown ... Our mind many times tries to solve a problem with known methods ... This is its main mistake! The path of the heart opens the doors that appear in our path. It is a pity that not everyone has the courage to insert the keys that are always with us ...

ONCE again Philippe thank you for the texture.
A vida é um psicodelismo, nos é que nao percebemos que levamos tudo muito a serio e de repente, a idade chega e nao aproveitamos o tempo em que a saude superava o dinheiro e a gente podia tomar sorvete, comer de tudo e ficar acordado ate tarde.
Ai ficamos serios e o realismo toma conta da gente e quando tentamos acordar de nossos sonhos ja é tarde, a morte nos esperando de braços abertos, com muito choros e depois lembranças, mas ate que com a chegada da internet, a gente pode pedir alguém para pagar anualmente uma tarifa e o povo que fica pode assim lembrar da gente, das besteiras e das coisas loucas que deixamos a mente transcendenter para o papel, coisas dos nossos sentimentos, caóticos, biopiticos (ou miopiticos) que eu queria dizer, ou quem sabe, capaz de despertar nos sábios uma coceira mental.
É isso ai, falei falei e nao falei nada.
Boa noite.

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.
Its transcendental historic and cultural values and the well-known hospitality of its people, of happy and noisy character, are two of the characteristics of that distinguish the southeastern province of Santiago de Cuba, considered the authentic capital of the Caribbean because of its geographic position and ethnic origins. Santiago is home to many classic cars and unfortunately this is my last shot of this lovely city until hopefully next year
New skin for Synnove. Very happy with it.
"Hear my call Great Old One!
Feel my Thirst in this Invocation
and the Terror of my Transcendental Act!
Devour this Sacrifice beyond the Mind of Reason
Through the Transcendence of Lawless Manifestations!
Through the Call of Terrifying Names, through webs of the Parallel Universes
I lie and remember the First Birth in the Blood
I crossed Seven Constellations
to Meet Your Flaming Breaths at Twilight and be purified.
I pray to your Abyss.
The key to becoming and the Key to Awareness
in the ocean of the bottomless Abyss
the wandering in the road to ceremony.
Magnificence and contemplation of the Universes
Coronation of the dethroned Sovereignity.
The Alignment of the Houses of causality and the Fallen Kingdoms
The End of the Eternal Emanation
The Eternal Return…
The ideal and the harmonization of Starlit Exaltation
The old and familiar in consciousness, the Work of Scarlet restoration
Psalms of the seven Houses
resound and mumble
The terrible secrets in absurd Languages unknown to me
The wings of Angels
the caress of an Orgiastic purification
Memories of an experience
that I live again and again
Fumes of a new Age
So familiar and pure
through the Pits of Demons
and the Five Towers..."

Classical Khmer kings of medieval Cambodia promoted the notion of Devarāja, a cult of the "god-king” that provided the religious rationale for royal authority. They were depicted as divine universal rulers or deified monarchs with transcendental qualities.
The gigantic smiling faces at Bayon Temple portray the great Mahayana Buddhist king, Jayavarman VII, as a living god on earth - a Bodhisattva Avalokitesvara or enlightened Buddhist saint overseeing a vast and disparate empire with an enigmatic blend of benevolence and absolute authority.
The temple served as the primary locus of the royal cult and was Jayavarman's personal mausoleum at the height of his rein over the Khmer Empire in the late 12th Century. It is positioned at the centre of the ancient Angkor Thom city complex and rural metropolis in northwestern Cambodia. Over 200 serenely smiling visages carved on more than 50 sandstone face-towers remain throughout the temple.

One mile wide glaciers, massive mountains, waterfalls coming out of mountains, and plenty more, this is a multi-photo series of a aerial flight seeing tour of Wrangell-St. Elias National Park. National parks and its scenery make me transfixed but this tour, 70 minutes long, was one big transcendental experience. Still trying to photograph through a window (taking in account of reflection and the plane's wing) is not easy. I do hope the photos convey that clarity and composition for you to enjoy.
A classic autumn shot of Zion's Towers of the Virgin at sunrise. Watching that glow slowly move down the rocks is almost a transcendental experience in and of itself.

Lakhta (Russian: Ла́хта; Finnish: Lahti) is a historical area in Lakhta-Olgino Municipal Okrug of St. Petersburg, Russia, situated west of Lake Lakhta (hence the name). It was formerly owned by Peter the Great, Count Grigory Orlov, and Count Stenbock-Fermor (whose 19th-century residence survives). The Lakhta railway station of the Primorsky Railway connects Lakhta to Central Saint Petersburg. The historical area of Olgino lies south-west of Lakhta.

(Listenwave- 圣彼得堡). #Lakhta. #Listenvawe #Light. This small village on the northern shore of the Gulf of Finland, about 15 km north-west of the city, is the birthplace of human settlements on the banks of the Neva. It was in the territory of Lakhta that the remains of a man’s camp of three thousand years ago were found.
In official documents, the settlement named Lakhta has been dating since 1500. The name is derived from the Finnish-language word lahti - "bay". It is one of the few settlements that has not changed its name throughout its 500-year history. It is also known as Lahes, Lahes-by, Lahes and was originally inhabited by Izhora. In the last decades of the 15th century, Lakhta was a village (which indicates a significant number of its population) and was the center of the same name of the Grand-Ducal volost, which was part of the Spassko-Gorodensky pogost of Orekhovsky district of Vodskaya Pyatina. In the village there were 10 yards with 20 people (married men). In Lakhta, on average, there were 2 families each, and the total population of the village probably reached 75 people.
From the marks on the fields of the Swedish scribal book of the Spassky Pogost of 1640, it follows that the lands along the lower reaches of the Neva River and part of the coast of the Gulf of Finland, including Lakhta Karelia, Perekulyu (from the Finnish "back village", probably because of its position relative to Lakhta) and Konduya Lakhtinsky, was granted royal charter on January 15, 1638, to the possession of the Stockholm dignitary, General Rickshulz Bernhard Sten von Stenhausen, of Dutch origin. On October 31, 1648, the Swedish government granted these lands to the city of Nuena (Nyenskansu). With the arrival of the Swedes in the Neva region, Lakhta was settled by the Finns, who until the middle of the 20th century constituted the absolute majority of the villagers.
On December 22, 1766, Catherine 2 granted the Lakhta manor, which at that time belonged to the Office of the Chancellery from the buildings of palaces and gardens, "in which and in her villages with yard people 208 souls" to her favorite, Count Orlov. Not later than 1768 Count J.A. Bruce took possession of the estate. In 1788, the Lakhta manor with its wooden services on dry land (high place) and the villages of Lakhta, Dubki, Lisiy Nos and Konnaya, also on dry land, were listed there, in those villages of male peasants 238 souls. On May 1, 1813, Lakhta was taken over by the landlords of the Yakovlevs. On October 5, 1844, Count A. I. Stenbok-Fermor took possession of the Lakhta estate, in which there were then 255 male souls. This genus was the owner of the estate until 1912, when his last representative got into debt and the nobility was established over the estate. On October 4, 1913, the count, in order to pay off his debts, was forced to go into incorporation, and the Lakhta estate became the property of the Lakht Joint-Stock Company of Stenbock-Fermor and Co.
After the revolution, Lakhta was left to itself for some time; on May 19, 1919, in the former estate of the Stenbock-Fermor estate, the Lakhta sightseeing station was opened, which lasted until 1932. In the early 1920s, sand mining began on the Lakhta beaches, and the abandoned and dilapidated peat-bedding plant of the Lakhta estate in 1922 took the Oblzmotdel department under its jurisdiction and launched it after major repairs. In 1963, the village of Lakhta was included in the Zhdanovsky (Primorsky) district of Leningrad (St. Petersburg).

Peak fall color is of course beautiful, but what I find even more interesting are seasonal transitions. Seasonal transitions often make us more aware of changes in our own lives and consciousness. The passage this year from Summer to Fall has in particular been more beautiful than I can recall in previous years. This passage is looking out to the south from the Pacific Crest north of Stevens Pass. I recently published a blog post that you may want to check out--Tanscendental Nature Photography: Creating Inspiring Images with Lasting Impact. Here is the link. erwinbuske.photo.blog/2018/11/24/transcendental-nature-ph...
Cannot tell what was going on in this brook – apart from the obvious. There are columns of gas bubbles entrapped in the ice and a slimy green coloured sort of algae is to be seen. I don’t know whether the algae or other biological processes in the brook do the gasification. Anyway, the result is remarkable, esp. the colours.
When I positioned my camera at the lowest level of this ordinary parking garage, I was immediately struck by its transformation into something extraordinary - as if I had discovered the central reactor of a spaceship hidden in plain sight within the city.
What fascinated me was how this mundane everyday infrastructure could, from a certain angle, reveal an almost science-fictional dimension. The gray pipes, partially covered with greenish moss and illuminated by yellowish light points, converge toward this circle of light like the technical arteries of an abandoned space station or the energetic core of a secret installation.
I deliberately accentuated the contrasts between the technical darkness of the "world below" and this luminous opening that seems to promise escape. This visual tension between confinement and liberation, between mechanical and organic, between terrestrial and celestial was exactly what I sought to capture.
In our increasingly urbanized and concrete world, I find a strange beauty in these utilitarian structures which, when contemplated with a different gaze, reveal almost transcendental qualities. The presence of moss on the pipes adds a post-apocalyptic dimension, as if nature was slowly beginning to reclaim this artificial structure. This helical ramp is no longer simply a means of exiting a parking garage - it becomes a portal, a visual metaphor for ascension through the strata of a dystopian world toward something brighter.

In February 1968, the Beatles travelled to Rishikesh, in northern India, to attend advanced Transcendental Meditation training at the ashram of Maharishi Mahesh Yogi. Today, the Indian government has vowed to let the forest overtake the abandoned ashram.
On a rainy autumn day at Mt. Baker we hiked the trail to Bagley Lakes stopping at a beautiful vista of these bridges at the outlet of upper Bagely Lake. I think I actually like this lake best in the rain!
