I love environmental art but have rarely had the space to play. Jess and I went to Aberlady beach on Monday and collected numerous razor clam shells. We weren't sure what to do with them but I washed and sorted the best out.
Come Friday and a good weather forecast (but no Jess), I decided Saturday would be perfect for getting my arse off the swivel chair and walk. Something classic, was needed and Glencoe was perfect, I reasoned - closest bit of wildness and likely to be in the sunshine too. Usual walking friends were unavailable but I resolve to go anyway and tipped out of the house at 7.30. I stopped off looking for stockworthy shots as I went so didn't arrive at the "Glencoe Mountain Resort" turn till 11.30. Crossing boggy Rannoch Moor it was becoming windy and cool and I could see the chances of reaching BEM summit were not good. On arrival, it was clear that discretion was the better part of valour. The summit was covered in fast moving clouds, the wind was strong at ground level and in October, day length is limited so I looked for something else to do.
Glen Etive looked appealing - gorgeous light and no cloud. I tagged on to a party of canoeists heading down the river and shot them at a good drop where they had fun plunging over into the pool below. The first party arrived to find a huge upright spike of a log in the pool. They waded in and removed it easily!
The second party tackled the drop very courageously and coped well although one member was caught in the water roll and needed to be extricated. I followed them down as far as I could walk then waved them goodbye.
The light was still good but was softening towards dusk. I thought of the clam shells as a kind of asset for making some kind counterpoint - salt and freshwater - randomness and order, both beautiful and laid the clamshells out as above. Congruent triangles have straight sides, the same angles and are of the same size. These clamshell triangles are therefore not congruent and being made of natural materials cannot be true triangles. In addition, the shells are from the sea - about as far away from here as you can be in river, terrain and height terms.
In that context, this "installation" is therefore highly incongruent, hence "Incongruous Triangles".
Simple! This sort of thing is not original in itself but what art is? I like the closeness of the shell colours to the rock.
I considered leaving the shells in place as a discovered piece for someone but felt that the wind would break it up before anyone discovered them so I removed the shells. And they might be useful elsewhere. Off to Porty beach today so another opportunity awaits!
Seattle's historic Triangle Pub located at 553 1st Avenue South.
From web1.seattle.gov/DPD/historicalsite/QueryResult.aspx?ID=1... : "This building is on the National Register of Historic Places. Please see the individual National Register Nomination for additional information. The Triangle Hotel, also known as the Flatiron Building, was designed by architect C. A. Breitung for real estate figure and financier, Victor Hugo Smith. It is architecturally distinctive because of its rich detailing and its shape, dictated by its location at the intersection between First Avenue South and the railroad tracks which led to Seattle’s wharves. The site had previously been occupied by the Stetson and Post Sawmill and Planing Mill Company. Construction was begun in 1909 and completed in1910. The hotel was built in the northern portion of First Avenue South, south of King Street. In the early 1900s, this part of First Avenue South was still a planked street and the adjacent tidelands were being filled. The area was developed to allow more direct access from railroad cars to the wharves along the waterfront, facilitating both transportation and industrial growth. This development was typical of the explosive growth of the original commercial center of Seattle (more or less represented by the original Pioneer Square-Skid Road National Historic District created in 1970) from the period 1900 to 1910. Victor Hugo Smith, heavily involved in real estate development, acquired the site around 1908 or 1909. In 1909, Pacific Builder and Engineer announced Victor Hugo Smith’s intention to erect a building on the site for $ 15,000. The building was completed by December of 1910 for $22,000. Victor Hugo Smith (1854 or 1860 -1927) was a successful Seattle financier and real estate investor. President of the Peninsular Land and Building Company when the Triangle Hotel was built, he played an important role in Seattle’s real estate boom from 1889 to the height of the tidelands development in 1907."
now it's not just 3 twisted triangles.
the same folding method as in the 3-triangle twist is used here...
some one may have done it already or not.
by the way, my pro account is expired now.
it's been a really fun and wonderful experience.
i really appreciate Christiane for it.
i saved my old photos already.
probably i will put them on the other place (probably my Yahoo home page)
so that any one who need to see them can find them.
(i hope some one wants to see them, right? ^L^")
i think i move my note2self photos there soon.
once again, thanks Christiane. but sometimes it gives me a litle pressure that i 'have to' fold and post photos regulerly, you know ^L^".

A problem from Karl Scherer. The solution is believed to be unique (according to Martin Gardner, Math Horizons, september 1994)
So after visiting the McDonald's History Museum, lunch at McDonald's just seemed to make sense

Built from blueprints dated October, 1944, the Triangle Motel at 7954 Amarillo Boulevard East Amarillo, Texas, was one of the first motels built on Route 66. Cream-colored brick veneer was hand-cut and oven-dried in Amarillo.
Called "A Tourist Court", the Triangle Motel was a God-sent haven midway to California, offering comfortable suites with one 12x16 room, the other one 12x12. The bathrooms with extra-large tiled showers--3x5--were also unexpected luxury for weary travelers in the middle forties.

"Think not that God doth not heed the deeds of those who do wrong. He but giveth them respite against a Day when the eyes will fixedly stare in horror,- They running forward with necks outstretched, their heads uplifted, their gaze returning not towards them, and their hearts a (gaping) void!" Quran 14 : 42-43
If a plain rectangular Celtic knot has the right symmetry and obeys one topological constraint, you can just bend it into a triangle and no one will know.
