Schokland ( Noordoostpolder) is a former island in the Dutch Zuiderzee. Schokland lost its status as an island when the Noordoostpolder was reclaimed from the sea in 1942. The remains are still visible as a slightly elevated part in the polder and by the still partly intact retaining wall of the waterfront of 'Middelbuurt'.
As a result from the increasing sea-level Schokland transformed from an attractive settlement area in the Middle Ages to a place under continuous threat by floods in the 19th century. By that time the Schoklanders had retreated to the three most elevated parts, Emmeloord, Molenbuurt, and Middelbuurt. A major flood in 1825 brought massive destruction, and in 1859 the government decided to end permanent settlement on Schokland. The former municipality of Schokland was joined to Kampen on the mainland.
Today Schokland is a popular archeological site and host to the Schokland Museum. Schokland was the first UNESCO World Heritage Site in the Netherlands.

Le châtelet d’entrée a été transformé en musée et le château Egeskov slot est situé au Egeskov Gade 18, Kværndrup, île de Fionie au Danemark.
Une vue à partir des jardins du château.
Majestueux et privé, le château, débuté au 14e siècle, a été achevé en 1554 sur une île, au milieu d'un lac bordé d'une forêt. Sa construction sur une grande quantité de pilotis de chêne aurait « coûté la vie à toute une forêt de chênes », d'où son nom Egeskov signifiant forêt de chênes. Ce château Renaissance à vocation initialement défensive est passé aux mains des ancêtres de l'actuel propriétaire en 1784. Celui-ci, le comte Ahlefeldt-Laurving-Bille, un grand collectionneur d'engins mécaniques l'habite toujours et le château n'est visitable qu'en partie.
Le château est reconnu en Europe comme le mieux préservé des châteaux Renaissance bâtis sur une île. On y admire notamment la Grande Salle de banquet, restaurée en 1975, et, disséminés ici et là, des trophées de chasse rapportés d'Afrique par l'avant-dernier propriétaire. À proximité, un musée de 3 000 m2, créé par le propriétaire, présente sa collection de voitures anciennes, d'avions, de motos et de voitures à chevaux.
Mais ce sont les jardins privés du domaine de 15 ha, créés au 18e siècle et entourant le château, qui constitue son joyau. Les jardins ont évolué grandement au fil des ans mais le plan date de 1730 lorsque Niels Krag conçut le jardin à la française qui en 1962 fut remplacé par le jardin actuel de style Renaissance par le français Ferdinant Duprat avec ses topiaires en forme de pyramide et de spirales. Un pont-levis datant de la fin du 19e siècle relie le château à une superbe avant-cour où errent des paons blancs. On découvre au-delà une partie des 750 ha de terres cultivées qui font depuis longtemps la fortune d'Egeskov.
Was actually slightly grey
Darker around the edges
A definite tinge
A flirtatious curve at the bottom
As if daring you to imagine something
Transform it into a different existence
It’s texture was surprising
Smooth and soft like the very top
Of a snowy slope
But hung indoors
It reflected onto the black linoleum floor that was speckled
With unpredictable dashes of white
When you looked down
You imagined
You were floating in a
Modern art galaxy very far away
From everything and everyone
You know
When you looked up you realized
It wasn’t a blank canvas at all.

In May, I went to a doctor's appointment that was very difficult for me. Most of the time, I try to forget about my biology but my heart will often skip beats and I keep spending more money to get no answers, making me wonder if it's just in my head.
I have been living in Chicago for over 20 years but I had never come across The Arts Club of Chicago even though it is located very central downtown near a couple of doctor's offices. It was a dreary day and I spent some time wandering around and happened upon this gallery featuring the exhibit by Huguette Caland: Bribes de corps. It's amazing how art finds you when you least expect it. I found myself staring at canvases and writing poems to calm my nervous system.
This exhibit is ending very soon but I revisited this weekend. The bottom section is the actual canvas. The top portion is a multiple exposure of the canvas and a photograph of a woman passing by from the window opposite of the painting.

Wenn die Sonne in Bangkok untergeht, erwacht eine Welt, die direkt aus den Visionen von Mike Pondsmith oder dem Arasaka-Konzern stammen könnte. Diese Aufnahme transformiert die thailändische Metropole in ein futuristisches Spektakel aus Neonlicht und Chrom.
Die blauen und violetten Lichenergien der Wolkenkratzer spiegeln den rastlosen Puls einer Stadt wider, die niemals schläft. Es ist die perfekte Symbiose aus dem realen Bangkok und der Ästhetik von Cyberpunk 2077. Ein Blick in eine Zukunft, die bereits hier zu sein scheint.

As the sun sets over Bangkok, a world awakens that could have been pulled straight from the visions of Mike Pondsmith or the corridors of the Arasaka Corporation. This shot transforms the Thai metropolis into a futuristic spectacle of neon light and chrome.
The electric blue and violet energy of the skyscrapers reflects the restless pulse of a city that never sleeps. It is the perfect symbiosis of real-life Bangkok and the aesthetic of Cyberpunk 2077. A glimpse into a future that seems to be already here.

Europe, Aegean, Greece, Lesvos, Agia Paraskevi, Museum of Industrial Olive-Oil Production, Olive trees, Storerooms (Bates), Workshop, Production hall. Smoke stack (slightly cut from T&B)
Shown here is the outside of Agia Pareskevi cooperative olive oil press (the 'machine of the people'. Which was in operation from 1911 to 1967. At the beginning of the 20th-century, oil plantations accounted for 1,630 km2 possessing 10 million olive trees that were processed by 113-steam powered plants. The private presses were dominant at the time and they were profit-oriented and generally didn't offer the farmers and cooperation a fair price for their olives and charged them for the storage of the oil. The communal presses were designed to rectify this. And they did. Being a communal press the president of the cooperation and other members of it were arrested in 1967 by the Greek junta (Greece was under military totalitarian rule from 1967 to 1973) resulting in the direct end of the production.
In 1985 the buildings of the press were used again as a meeting facility for the village and in 2004 it was restored and transformed into a museum with the major aid of the Cultural foundation of the Piraeus Bank Group.
On the left are the storerooms (housing the individual batis) and a workshop and on the right is the factory shed with its smokestack.
This number 52 of the Lesbos album and 2 of Museum of Industrial olive oil production (Lesvos) (which is part of the Unfactoried collection.

Transformada actualmente en hotel, esta antigua granja está construida con materiales y técnicas tradicionales. Otras granjas similares se conservan como museos.
Sol LeWitt was one of the main figures of his time; he transformed the process of art-making by questioning the fundamental relationship between an idea, the subjectivity of the artist, and the artwork a given idea might produce. While many artists were challenging modern conceptions of originality, authorship, and artistic genius in the 1960s, LeWitt denied that approaches such as Minimalism, Conceptualism, and Process Art were merely technical or illustrative of philosophy.
In his Paragraphs on Conceptual Art, LeWitt asserted that Conceptual art was neither mathematical nor intellectual but intuitive, given that the complexity inherent to transforming an idea into a work of art was fraught with contingencies.
LeWitt's art is not about the singular hand of the artist; it is the idea behind each work that surpasses the work itself. In the early 21st century, LeWitt's work, especially the wall drawings, has been critically acclaimed for its economic perspicacity.
Though modest—most exist as simple instructions on a sheet of paper—the drawings can be made again and again and again, anywhere in the world, without the artist needing to be involved in their production.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sol_LeWitt
Sol LeWitt was seminal in establishing the notion of ‘conceptual art’ during the 1960s. Wall Drawing #1136 Curved and straight color bands 2004 is one of a number of highly coloured wall pieces he made. It includes seven vibrant colours to create an overwhelming chromatic environment that envelopes the viewer. The curve, snakes along the wall. Every band in the wall drawing is of the same width and there is no area left empty of colour.
It has been produced for Tate St Ives by a team of draftspersons, guided by an assistant from the artist’s estate.
Retour aux anciens Bains et Thermes liégeois transformés en Cité Miroir, un lieu de débat, d'éducation et de culture.
L’échevin liégeois Georges Truffaut lance le projet des Bains et Thermes. Il comprend deux bassins de natation, une station d'autobus, une section d'hydrothérapie, des locaux annexes, un café-restaurant, un dancing. L'architecte moderniste Georges Dedoyard sera désigné au terme d'un concours au règlement très strict.
Le bâtiment est achevé sous l’occupation nazie et ouvre ses portes au public en mai 1942. Georges Truffaut, décédé en résistant en Angleterre un mois auparavant, ne verra jamais son projet abouti.
Considéré comme l’une des plus importantes réalisations du style moderniste de l’entre-deux-guerres, le bâtiment de la Sauvenière adopte les formes d’un paquebot aux proportions majestueuses. A l’intérieur, l’élément le plus singulier est le grand hall des bassins qui s’étend sur 80 mètres de long et plus de 10 mètres de haut.
Dedoyard s’est inspiré du courant artistique et architectural allemand Bauhaus. Les formes élémentaires - ici le cube et la sphère - sont mises en valeur, la symétrie règne. Les murs nus, les lignes épurées, l’omniprésence du béton armé et du verre vont dans le sens de cette architecture essentiellement fonctionnaliste.
Return to the old Liège baths and thermal baths transformed into a Cité Miroir, a place of debate, education and culture.
The Liège alderman Georges Truffaut launched the Bains et Thermes project. It includes two swimming pools, a bus station, a hydrotherapy section, additional premises, a café-restaurant, a dance hall. The modernist architect Georges Dedoyard will be appointed after a competition with very strict regulations.
The building was completed under the Nazi occupation and opened its doors to the public in May 1942. Georges Truffaut, who had died in resistance in England a month earlier, would never see his project succeeded.
Considered one of the most important achievements of the Modernist style of the interwar period, the Sauvenière building takes the form of a liner of majestic proportions. Inside, the most unique feature is the large pool hall which stretches 80 meters long and more than 10 meters high.
Dedoyard was inspired by the German Bauhaus artistic and architectural movement. The elementary forms - here the cube and the sphere - are highlighted, symmetry reigns. Bare walls, clean lines, the omnipresence of reinforced concrete and glass go in the direction of this essentially functionalist architecture.
I reckon this shot is a bit too late for the movie - Transformer. I didn't even realise this shot is in my archives... that's what happen when one has too much crap in his harddrive :P Anyway, its still better late than never! Sorry its a post & run this morning as its way past midnight here & I'm going to transform myself into a sleeping log now. Should see you shortly soon! ciao!

Super-Padd has almost recovered from the accident.
He was on his way to Mummy Marian's house when he collided with the sliding door on landing. He was unconscious for a while and suffered from paw problems.
He now wants to meet Paddy, Daddy Jesse and all the other bears who live in Australia.
Peter told Super-Padd about the secret magical portal in Mummy Marian's garden and also told him when you go through the portal you are in Australia.
But..because S-Padd is too big, he cannot go through the portal.
Peter asked for help from the fairy-mother.
She came immediately with fairy-dust.
Peter took Super-Padd to the agreed place in the garden after sunset.....
SUPER-PADD:
I do find it a bit scary Peter.
I don't know what's happening.
PETER:
Have faith in the Fairy Mother....look...there she is already!!!!
FAIRY-MOTHER:
I don't have much time Peter and Super-Padd. So if you stay still, I'll do the spell and sprinkle fairy-dust all over you Super-Padd. Then you can go through the gate.
It takes a few seconds to transform.
If there are any problems, you can send me an app.
Here we go....
Fairy Mother does the spell...sprinkles fairydust all over Super-Padd.
After that, she disappeared.
The fairy-dust circles around Super-Padd. Fog forms...a thud....and....
PETER:
Huh....Super Padd....where are you???????
SUPER-PADD: (replies in a small voice)
Here Peter!!!
Boy are you big! What happened to you?????

When she transformed into a butterfly,
the caterpillars spoke not of her beauty,
but of her weirdness.
They wanted her to change back
into what she had always been.
But she had wings.
-Dean Jackson
A few weeks ago Alex Currie, Valerie Kasinski, Elaina Trapani and I took a little road-trip to Taughannock falls.
Elaina gracefully modeled this set of wings and looked absolutely magical! I made the wings a few weeks prior, they are manually cut, painted, wired, and stitched together by hand.

Halil Bey Mosque and yard is situated in the old town of Kavala and is a beautiful place to visit.
Full of colors and built on a great architecture mode, Halil Bey Mosque or "Old Music" as we call it now is a great sight to visit.
wikimapia.org/12748754/Palia-Mousiki-preserved-mosque
Restored during 2008, until early 20th century it used to be a Muslim mosque named after Halil Bey probably the owner or founder of the mosque. It is now restored and transformed to a museum-like building, during restoration works ruins and parts of an Orthodox Christian church were found beneath its foundations, a common phenomenon for the old town of Kavala where many different civilizations lived in different times in the same small, wall-restricted area of Kavala's castle town.
There is a glass floor so people can see the church underneath.The greek name of the building is "Palia Mousiki" meaning Old Music.

One afternoon last week, the light was intense coming through trees over our parking lot. I thought I'd try a multiple exposure, having not done one in a long time. And then, the image above was enhanced with Topaz software.
It's gotten hot in Jerusalem with the temperature nudging 90/f this afternoon. Hope you are having a warm and productive day.
