Those About to Die Salute You, a battle on water wielded with baguette swords and watermelon cannon balls by New York’s art dignitaries, took place on Thursday, August 13, 2009 at 6 pm in a flooded World’s Fair-era reflecting pool in Flushing Meadows Corona Park, just outside of the Queens Museum of Art. Various types of vessels were designed and constructed by artist provocateur Duke Riley and his collaborators: the galleons, some made of reeds harvested in the park, will be used to stage a citywide battle of the art museums in which representatives from the Queens Museum of Art, the Brooklyn Museum, Bronx Museum of the Arts, and El Museo del Barrio battled before a toga-clad crowd of frenzied onlookers. The event is free and open to public. Dress code: Toga. Live music by Hell-Bent Hooker. Beverages will be served. RAIN OR SHINE.

Duke Riley has always been interested in the space where water meets land within the urban landscape and is known for art work that is an idiosyncratic mix of performance art, sailor’s craft and historical re-enactment. Upon QMA’s invitation for an artist residency, Riley’s life-long fascination with the culture and topography of waterfronts, and proclivity for margins - of society, history, etc. - were immediately focused on the decommissioned World’s Fair Ice Rink adjacent to the museum. The sight of the vast oval arena, a sea of refrigeration tubing and white sand, brought an instant association with ancient Roman coliseums that were flooded to stage violent naval battles or Naumachia for the delight of spectators in the Empire’s effort to distract the masses from societal collapse by indulging them with free bread and extravagant spectacle.

I had been to home for a break and saw that two kittens made my home theirs as well....
It was feeling so great to see them playing around, fighting whole day with each other, jumping from here and there and in evening cuddling their mom on her return !
I was lost seeing them enjoying their childhood. Somehow being lost seeing them, I got to remeber that I have a camera and I can actually freeze them in action !
Got one such frame sharing here ......
Taken with Pentacon 135mm F2.8 lens with aperture wide open.
Camera used :Canon 550D
these hands...
tied a thousand shoes
made a thousand meals
soothed a thousand hurts
gave a thousand hugs
these hands have been through so much 'life'
have loved and lost and felt so much
these hands that i love,
and that mean the world to me...
my mother's hands.
Those water jets get switched on and off randomly. Some people try to time their passage on this path carefully. Others just have fun.
Those who know me can already guess where I`m again. Very nice club, even better music and here`s a just typical picture to be seen from it. Was very nice again to be there...
Such a nice place. With this characteristical atmosphere. You enter and immediately hear the music, get the groove. And many good memories of that. Mostly also already known people there. Both visitors and musicians.
Anyhow, also much work to do these days so I will be a bit busy. Much travelling again coming up as well in the next weeks. As usual. Anyhow, I have many more pictures yet to come in some time then... Stay tuned...
Walking in Central Park I found myself surrounded by the vibrant colors of Fall.

Those of you who have been following the antics that I have had with these delightful little animals can now see the final chapter.
The great escape.
I decided that they should be relaesed back into my garden so took the aquarium into the garden opened the top and provided a 'ladder'
In no time at all the escape route had been spotted and all I could do was to snatch these three shots before they disppeared into the hosta bed.
Another look at the Boudhnath stupa in Kathmandu, Nepal. Those black rectangles contain prayer wheels so it is techicnally possible to circumambulate the entire stupa while turning those prayer wheels. There are gaps though, to make way for entrance gates and market stalls and a small shrine adjoining the boundary wall. The April 2015 Nepal earthquake damaged this magnificent Boudhanath Stupa, severely cracking the spire. As a result, the whole structure above the dome, and the religious relics it contained had to be removed. The Stupa was under total lock down for a while, with the dismantling and removals being completed by the end of October 2015. Reconstruction, repairs and restoration work then commenced on 3 November 2015 with the ritual placement of a new central pole or life tree for the stupa at the top of the dome. The Stupa looks pretty pristine when I visited in Oct. 2019. (Kathmandu, Nepal, Oct/ Nov 2019)
TMQ: Stay away from those aliens from now on, runts. You lot aren't even as big as my space-gun! You don't stand a chance!
Cookie: We will!
Biscuit: We'll run if we see them!
Soda: Well, as fast as we can run on these tiny legs . . .
Minty: *purrs*
Cheesecake: Whew! Solid ground!
Spent a most wonderful day at the 1st Piston Poppers race of the season. Great weather, great people, great racing.
Here Mr Stedding (#37) & Mr Smith (#77) battle for position during their heat race. Did i mention they're about 5 feet off the ground?
