Heron
How round was the moon when Ardea,
the great city, fell
beneath sword and flame?
And when the first heron,
belly whitened by the still-warm ashes,
shoulder marked with charcoal
from burning rafters as they fell,
took wing from among the dead and dying
in a blast of blooming embers,
how round was the moon?
If the moon was full, then she rose
sleek and strong against the smoke-hazed sky,
and the moon hung fat and red
upon the horizon as she landed
on a willow, by the river,
stropping her slender bill
in silhouette against the waters.
If the moon was new, then she rose
like arched and feathered sinew,
silvered in the haze of dying fires,
and the moon, high on her ecliptic
glanced thinly through open pinions,
‘til she landed, took her stand,
silent night sentinel.
But if the moon was dark, then she rose
with an anguished cry, crest bedraggled,
yellow eyes gleaming with terror,
and the moonless dark called her,
winged cadaver, dusty death-shriek,
hunger clenched and coiled for striking,
and fishes cringed as she flew by.
How round was the moon when Ardea,
the great city, fell
beneath sword and flame?
Source material: The legend of the heron arising from the smoking ruins of the city of Ardea is recounted in Ovid’s Metamorphoses, Book Fourteen, lines 573-581. In English folklore, the heron is said to wax and wane with the moon. See Yvonne Aburrow, Auguries and Omens: the Magical Lore of Birds, Capall Bann, Chieveley, 1994, pp. 102-105.
Poem by Giles Watson, 2002. Reading recorded 20th April, 2010.
It is so painful to see in news protesters clashing with police and causing some sorts of the troubles. This is not what I have seen when I joined them yesterday at the USA Embassy in London. It was most well organised I possible even seen, so peaceful and friendly. Several times I have been offered face mask and water. There were only good vibes of a united community. Not sure why someone decided to go to Whitehall and clash with police. From the other hand – no rights were won without breaking the law – this is the world we all live, unfortunately.

PULSE TOPOLOGY : Une grande salle vide seulement éclairée par une galaxie de Leds. Un dispositif captait et répercutait le son des battements du coeur des visiteurs qui traversaient la pièce. Les Leds pulsaient, scintillaient, au rythme de ces battements.

I used my original "Touched by a Rainbow" to generate two more video clips along with a clip of my original.
If you take notice the two butterflies turn into two Monarch butterflies but in the end they are the same colorful butterflies like in the orig.

It was a busy morning at Kingston pier on Norfolk Island while men unloaded goods from the freighter standing off shore. Amid the activity they also launched a fishing boat, something I'd never seen done this way before.

From Superbowls to soap operas, TIA is there when it comes to timelapses.
If you're a Seattleite or an enthusiast of the Emerald City, you might like this one.
This presentation of "Emerald City Infinity" is a spoof and satirical nod to the opening credits and sequences of popular American prime time soap operas of the 1980s, such as "Dallas", "Dynasty", "Falcon Crest", and "Knots Landing". It's all about the drama and camp.
This was a very amusing way to present footage from nearly five years of capturing different timelapse recordings around Seattle. I hope you enjoy it or get a chuckle or two at the cast of characters! There's more on my YouTube channel.

Landing in San Diego is difficult. SAN is listed as one of the worlds 10 most extreme / difficult airports to land at (depending on which list you find).
You have to fly over this hill (Balboa Park), then get the plane down before you run into the next hill (Point Loma).or before you run off the end of the short runway. So the runway is in this sort of valley, and it can be VERY difficult for pilots at times. It is a very difficult approach because of the steep angle required over the hill. There are no jumbo jets regularly flying in here like at other major airports ie LAX, JFK, DFW.
I love flying aircraft, I love aviation, so therefore, I posted this video. It is really amazing and incredible to get this kind of footage of a plane landing in San Diego.
I previously wrote about how exactly I got this video including some of the difficulty involved. But I decided to be more discreet, to edit out that part, to leave you guessing.
You can imagine the 'powers that be' discourage a lot of looky-loo's from hanging around the approach end of runways.
I suppose a fascination with the machines of transportation has long been a human thing. I remember when I was a kid, I would take my younger brothers by bicycle to the local Hicksville train station to see the mighty train engines up close. That was a regular part of our Sunday routine. First stop was church, then afterwards to the train station, last stop was Baskin-Robins for ice cream.
Church and ice cream make sense. But the train station? Why did we go there? I remember so vividly for some reason the elevated platforms of the Hicksville train station. For some reason it was just an interesting place to hang around for a kid.
I'd say it's about fascination with the machines of transportation.
Trains and Planes. Big fancy machines that move people from point A to point B. But fascinating for some reason in how they do it.
So fascinating I suppose, that I even managed to make a career out of the business. And what form of human transport could be more fascinating that a flight in a hot air balloon? Going only where the wind carries you? No steering, just riding with the wind! What a concept.
So to tie it all together, landing a balloon is difficult, extreme, and fascinating. And it all started out because my father made me take my brothers to church, and for entertainment afterwards we would go check out the trains. Go figure. Like this could really all be tied together, but perhaps.
I did not really have a key point to make with all this. It is just a sort essay on my thoughts as to why I got this video of the plane landing. I hope someone reads this and enjoys it. Maybe I'll get my brothers / sister / mom to read this since they come here sometimes, they might appreciate the references to life growing up and the Hicksville train station
