An 11KV transformer, once used used for lighting in this massive behemoth of a site, now left stripped of it's valuable copper.
The former Millennium Mills, once a derelict icon of London's industrial past is currently undergoing a transformation of its own to become luxury apartments and a business and leisure hub.
I've always found it magical, that the tiny vibrations of the needle and the diamond can be transformed into wonderful music!
As you walk up and down the 138 steps of Frank Gehry’s staircase in the Art Gallery of Ontario, new geometric forms reveal themselves with every step. A photobook could be made with just photos of this staircase, but I will stop at these two three...
(After all, our new masters will only allow me 1,000 photos...)

The butterfly is one of the most emblematic totem animals symbolizing personal transformation. If you see the butterfly as your totem or spirit animal, pay attention to the areas in your life or personality that are in need of profound change or transformation. Perhaps, this animal totem guides you to be sensitive to your personal cycles of expansion and growth, as well as the beauty of life’s continuous unfolding. An important message carried by the spirit of the butterfly is about the ability to go through important changes with grace and lightness.
Butterfly Symbolism
What is the meaning of the butterfly? This animal totem is primarily associated with symbolism of change and transformation.
Powerful transformation, metamorphosis in your life, personality
Moving through different life cycles
Renewal, rebirth
Lightness of being, playfulness
Elevation from earthly matters, tuning into emotional or spiritual
The world of the soul, the psyche
A secondary meaning of the butterfly is about finding joy in life and lightness of being.
“The reason why the universe is eternal is that it does not live for itself; it gives life to others as it transforms.” ~ Lao Tzu
“If you begin to understand what you are without trying to change it, then what you are undergoes a transformation.” Jiddu Krishnamurti

This is a good reminder. When I think of where and how I was just a few years ago and compare that version of myself to where and how I am now, I can experience more gratitude for the tribulations that helped me get to better understand my true self. Granted, I’m still learning about myself and how to best navigate life, but I’m learning how to honor my true nature and see the beauty rather than focus on everything *wrong* or *bad* or *ugly*. I just “AM”. The more *myself* I Am, the more beautifully and gracefully I transform. The easier it gets. I enjoy life more and can be more present. My experience and how I see life is what transforms the more I understand what and who I Am.

When we went to a waterfall here in North Carolina over the weekend, this stunning butterfly was undeterred by the crowds around it. I watched as it fluttered around little mini-drops of water on the rock next to the flowing water, sunning itself and sharing its vibrant colors with us all.

Let’s all be like this butterfly. Let’s show our true, exquisite, vibrant colors boldly while we do the things that make our experiences in life more nourishing and fun!
I originally saw a before and after 2 stage transformation a long time ago over at Fab Joue aux Lego's photostream I think it was about a year ago, just after I came out of my dark age. I thought it was over at ToyWiz but I was mistaken!

I decided to give it some NWC love and take this great idea to the next level. The release of the Monster Fighters Wolf man made the complete transformation possible. In my opinion it's one of the most under-rated themes in Lego. I guess I love it because it combines those old B-Movies with some Steampunk elements, two things which really press my buttons!!
Thanks for the inspiration Fab!
This was my 3rd Barcelona trip….. each visit there is something new on Sagrada Família.
In 1882, construction of Sagrada Família started, it is anticipated that the building can be completed by 2026—the centenary of Gaudí's death.
This nebula is located at around 7500 lights years from the Earth and extend over 165 lights years.
On the upper right part you can see the Fish Head Nebula (IC 1795).
On the left it is a part of the Heart Nebula (IC 1805) and you can see Melotte 15 in the middle of the Heart Nebula, a little star cluster with a lot of dust

Transformation, I feel like it's a term that fits this time of year, at least for me and maybe many of you. The seasons changing mean the days are shorter and nights are longer here in Canada. And with that transformation I find myself changing a bit as well. It used to be a drastic change, I'd be tired and irritable and lost in my mind. But as I've gone through the years, I recognize the transformation of seasons and I allow myself to adapt to them. I go to bed earlier, I drink more water and make a clearer effort to go outside and those all help to make the transformation into Winter-Joel much easier.
For my image I wanted to convey that longing for the one last messenger of Spring before winter hits, the lone butterfly in the image is the last little glimpse of warmer weather that I've been looking for and keeping close.

The “line_up“ is a paperwork series I developed since 2010. The “liners” are made out of paper (Din A3/A4),
oil paint and graphite. The theme is the hermetical laws of polarity and movement. There is no ending and no beginning in any direction, just an endless movement. You have the possibility to arrange the papers like you want and that makes it an endless playground for my photo-work and the eyes of the viewers.
