Burt, Inishowen, County Donegal, Ireland
For years I’ve been visualising a photo of this fort protruding from low lying mist whilst being illuminated by the suns golden light. On Christmas eve there was mist everywhere so at 6am I set out on a mission to attempt this sunrise scene. Driving in the dark with 6ft visibility on frozen country roads I safely arrived. A slippery uphill hike & a few falls later I reached the fort. To my joy it was standing proudly above the low fog banks along Lough Swilly as hoped for. Now it was fingers crossed whether the sunrise would play ball too? To be honest the sky didn’t look promising at first, then suddenly the sun had risen above the horizon & fired out its colours. At this exact moment the clouds started rolling up over the fort like waves. These clouds reflected the suns amber rays perfectly. I stood there in awe on this ancient monument bathed by these elements working in harmony. This was by far one of the greatest experiences of my life 🙏
First constructed around 1700 BC (probably with earthen walls) by the Tuatha de Danann. An Grianan Fort was once a seat of power were the ‘O'Neill Kings’ reigned from for over 700 years. An Grianan of Aileach is the best known monument in Inishowen & easily one of the greatest in all Ireland. Situated along Donegal's Wild Atlantic Way on a hilltop 800 feet above sea level the view from Aileach is breathtakingly beautiful. Legend states that the giants of Inishowen (Princes of Aileach) are lying sleeping under this hill but when a hidden sacred sword is removed from this ring fort, they will return back to life reclaiming their ancient lands!

Wikipedia: "The Vision of Felix Klein is a geometry book written by David Mumford, Caroline Series and David Wright, and published by Cambridge University Press in 2002.
The book explores the patterns created by iterating conformal maps of the complex plane called Möbius transformations, and their connections with symmetry and self-similarity. These patterns were glimpsed by German mathematician Felix Klein, but modern computer graphics allows them to be fully visualised and explored in detail." ->I just happened to found some bots in my exploration;-)Created with Cinema 4D, Octane X & Vectron, J-wildfire and color corrected in Lightroom

A circular route in the past that went from West Norwood to East Dulwich Sainsbury's but what could it have looked like if it wasn't a commercial route?
I look into the history of P15 and S11/S13 more in depth.
For once, a higher budget promotion.

Promise not to bore you all week with dental horror stories again, but I think i need to go to my happy place (Porthcurno Beach, Cornwall) for a spot of 'visualisation' today after visiting the dentist for a follow up appointment.
As i feared / expected, i've got a 'dry socket' and a bit of an infection in my jawbone (that would explain that deep throbbing pain then) and i'm going to be taking a couple of sorts of antibiotics for the next ten days.
My overriding thought is that i'm lucky to live somewhere where it can be diagnosed and treated so quickly, but i'll also admit to a little bit of disappointment when i was told i absolutely musn't drink any alcohol with these or i'll be very sick. Have got a wedding and cricket awards party coming up and both are a bit more fun after a beer or two. Also beer tastes a bit nicer than the salt water rinses that i'm doing about ten times a day.

This visualisation was produced in QGIS 2.12.1, with a little help from postgres/postgis (could also be done in QGIS only).
Areas of each country's circle are in proportion to population.
How it was done
First of all, reprojected the Natural Earth data to epsg:3410 (a cylindrical equal area projection in meters). This is important; doing it in epsg:4326 makes countries appear bigger the further they are from the equator (areal distortion). Because degrees.
Next, used postgis to find the centroids and buffer them, so that the circle area is in direct proportion to population. Brought these in as CSV delimited files after exporting from pgAdminIII. The query sorted images in descending order of size, so smaller countries appear on top of larger countries.
Unfortunately, this projection keeps areas in scale, but distorts shapes. Some countries start to look like eggs. Oh noes!
Got round this by scaling the map down to a small size (a few square kilometers) and centred on null island, which removed the shape distortion, but kept the equal-area. Turned off OTF projection.
Flag images came from CIA World Factbook, and were used as raster Image fills. Used the FIPS code from the Natural Earth data to build the filepath to the CIA factbook images like this
'/tmp/factbook/flags/' || "fips" || '-lgflag.gif'
Because you can only scale the image width at present (I used bounds_width($geometry) in map units) I had to convert each flag into a square format using ImageMagick. Most flags are wider than they are tall, this avoids tiling the flag in each circle, at the expense of corner detail.
Apologies in advance to Norway - not sure what happened there. Some manual tweaking may be needed :D
They say that when the Dam is full capacity only the very top of this church can be seen. Extremely difficult to visualise but a sight, weather permitting to be photographed by the end of March.
Mullaghmore, County Sligo, Ireland
Whilst strolling through a vast grassy plain, I couldn’t help but notice the tower of nearby Classiebawn Castle peeking out across the top of these sand dunes every so often. This made me visualise a giant sandcastle! I moved around and found a raised mound in which I could align my camera with the castle on the dune.
Even though this castle is 1.5 miles away it gave an illusion that it was sitting on top of the sand dunes. This composition brought back my childhood & I managed to discover a giant sandcastle that day 🏰

The above scenes are based on observations of the numerous corniform signs from around Mont Bego and arise from images and texts featured in the Flickr album 'Mont Bégo'.
To simulate frame huts covered with cow leather, I used the 'FB Lisse' from La Bisbal bisbalceram.com which has a natural tint of burnt umbra. The clay was thumb polished and carved over a number of days - so not fired.
The moonlit clouds above the mountain were made by light-painting and were added during the long exposure of the scene.
The fence posts are from overwintered vines of old man's beard slotted into corrugated cardboard strip (thinking of Gondry for this solution).
The stars were layered during post and come from a general shot I'd taken of Orion (see the Flickr album 'Night shots').
For these images, I am not aiming for any 'realism', rather a credible starting point from which the viewer can add potential details. Maybe a simpler fence with draped drying grass? Maybe guide ropes? ... Wind art decoration, or graphic changes of tone. Bags might have been attached to the fence posts or a domestic dog tethered to keep guard. The smouldering remains of an open fire and so on.
Many artistic visualisations of prehistoric accommodation depict daytime scenes. My aim here was to show huts as night protection - the moment of the day when their need and logic is resounding. I also tried to create an atmosphere that felt cold - ground frost and so on, again to show how important a good hut is for a family and clan. It is possible that the peoples who climbed above the tree line to make the Mont Bégo bronze age rock art came from fertile valleys lower down between the mountain range. Even without frost, the descending cold air of the mountain lifestyle can be a shock to the system and many readers will have experienced altitude camping when the warm air switches off and the creeping cold mountain air descends into the tent to impart an array of chatters and shiverings. Again a successful culture need to have adapted to an environment and have apt solutions to local conditions.
Left. From time in the Mont Bégo rock art you see 'bodies of cows' without horns. It's easy to think that these may be fields or waiting for horns that never came, but if they were cow-form huts (a term I chance with) then they may simply be huts without their entrance fencing - an ideosyncratic and normal detail of a diverse culture.
Centre. There are several corniform images of circular 'horns'. (Bicknell VII No 51, XVIII NO22, XXXV No14...). All are assured images and all seem to be difficult to understand if the only meaning of a corniform sign is a 'cow'. The central image projects a circle of fencing in front of the entrance to a small leather covered hut. This seem very understandable as an early crofting solution.
Right: The same image, but with the fence in a typical corniform presentation. See how this provides wind break, shade and an arena for a fireplace. With a domestic dog in the 'courtyard' the vulnerable entrance to the tough leather tent is protected during the night. With good post hole alternatives, opening and closing fencing would also produce the images centre and right which would make some of the corniform variety due to the recording of different states of usage of the dynamic structures. Many corniforms have a square between the horns, and the square certainly also alludes to the head of a cow, but a hut with the same square may have also have had a 'kennel space' for a guard dog : heating the entrance for a sleepy family.

How atoms interact and behave is common high-school knowledge, but what we know is based on assumptions or snapshots. Electron microscopes have taken images of atoms so we know how they settle, but we have never recorded atoms moving.
The ESA–Roscosmos Plasma Kristall-4 (PK-4) experiment is recreating atomic interactions in a fluid on a larger scale on the International Space Station. The proxy atoms in PK-4 are microparticles, which are suspended and charged in plasma (an ionised gas with electrons and ions). The microparticles interact with each other via the high electrical charges, forming a strongly coupled liquid or solid – a classical model system for condensed matter.
This image shows the typical purple glow of an argon plasma in the PK-4 hardware on Earth. Microparticles are introduced into the plasma to observe how they behave.
On Earth the particles are influenced by gravity but in space the particles will behave similarly to charged atoms in a fluid or crystal structure allowing researchers to understand better the hidden interactions of our world.
PK-4 is installed in the European Physiology Module on the European space laboratory Columbus and runs for up to four days, four times a year.

La Techno Box, comme dans « j’ai cours de techno » (et pas comme la musique de club !) Vous allez voir qu’il y a quand même un lien (ténu) avec la musique, ou plus exactement avec le son. Cette expérience a été réalisée par des étudiants qui l’ont nommée TetrISS (je ne me prononce pas sur le nom [emoji]). Elle doit servir à visualiser les figures de Chladni en 3 dimensions. Vous avez peut-être déjà vu ces formes provoquées par des ultrasons, mais sur Terre à cause de la pesanteur c’est toujours en 2 dimensions. L’objectif ici c’est de profiter de l’impesanteur pour les observer en 3D. Pas grand chose de musical là dedans, c’est surtout des maths, mais sait-on jamais, ça pourrait inspirer des artistes !
This is Techno Box. As much as I would like (hate?) to have it make thumping techno music to welcome Matthias on board next week, it is techno as in technology. At school in France technology is often shortened to techno. We call techno music, tek, but the variations of how Europeans call electronic music and their subgenres is another story. What does Techno box do? It should allow students to visualise Chladni forms in three dimensions using sound waves. Which actually brings us back to music. 🤔 When sounds waves interact with objects they can arrange them in a visual form (think sound waves), search for it... but only in weightlessness can we attempt to make three dimensional forms! The sound waves needed are not music (unfortunately) but mathematical wave forms. The French name for this experiment is TetrISS, do I have to explain that it was a legendary videogame?... 😂

A visualisation of the polarisation of the Cosmic Microwave Background, or CMB, as detected by ESA's Planck satellite over the entire sky.
The CMB is a snapshot of the oldest light in our Universe, imprinted on the sky when the Universe was just 380 000 years old. It shows tiny temperature fluctuations that correspond to regions of slightly different densities, representing the seeds of all future structure: the stars and galaxies of today.
A small fraction of the CMB is polarised – it vibrates in a preferred direction. This is a result of the last encounter of this light with electrons, just before starting its cosmic journey. For this reason, the polarisation of the CMB retains information about the distribution of matter in the early Universe, and its pattern on the sky follows that of the tiny fluctuations observed in the temperature of the CMB.
In this image, the colour scale represents temperature differences in the CMB, while the texture indicates the direction of the polarised light. The patterns seen in the texture are characteristic of ‘E-mode’ polarisation, which is the dominant type for the CMB.
For the sake of illustration, both data sets have been filtered to show mostly the signal detected on scales around 5º on the sky. However, fluctuations in both the CMB temperature and polarisation are present and were observed by Planck on much smaller angular scales, too.

Le marché des esclaves est un excellent exemple de la capacité de Dalí à créer des hallucinations critiques paranoïaques. Dali a été fasciné toute sa vie par l'illusion d'optique, inspiré en partie par la visualisation des œuvres d'Arcimboldo du XVIe siècle.
Pour cette double image particulièrement réussie, la représentation de Dalí de cette apparition est créée en incorporant le célèbre buste du sculpteur français Jean-Antoine Houdon : le Buste de Voltaire en 1778. Dans la composition, l'arrangement de deux femmes portant un costume espagnol du XVIIe siècle crée le buste de Voltaire. Le sommet de la tête de Voltaire est souligné par l’ouverture du mur en ruine ; les têtes des femmes deviennent ses yeux, leurs colliers deviennent ses joues supérieures et son nez, la partie sombre de leurs vêtements devient les ombres projetées par son nez et ses joues, et les manches blanches de la figure de droite forment le menton de Voltaire. Les plats de fruits créent également une double illusion : la pomme dans le bol central semble être l’arrière de la figure à l’arrière-plan ; la poire dans le plat à droite se dissout dans la colline au loin.
Les surréalistes aimaient ridiculiser le célèbre philosophe en soulignant qu'il se contredisait souvent, mais qu'ils aimaient l'une de ses œuvres les plus connues, Candide, parce qu'elle attaquait l'optimisme philosophique des années précédentes. Avec la disparition du buste de Voltaire, Voltaire disparait derrière le marché aux esclaves, comme si le philosophe disparaissait derrière l’actionnaire de la traite qu’il était ! Dali a donné un indice quant au sens du tableau : " Par son amour patient, Gala me protège du monde ironique et grouillant des esclaves. Gala dans ma vie détruit les images de Voltaire et tout vestige de scepticisme possible ".
The slave market with the disappearing bust of Voltaire - Dali - 1940
The slave market is an excellent example of Dalí's ability to create paranoid critical hallucinations. Dali has been fascinated all his life by the optical illusion, inspired in part by the visualization of the works of Arcimboldo of the sixteenth century.
For this particularly successful double image, Dalí's portrayal of this apparition is created by incorporating the famous bust of the French sculptor Jean-Antoine Houdon: the Bust of Voltaire in 1778. In the composition, the arrangement of two women wearing a Spanish costume of the seventeenth century creates the bust of Voltaire. The top of Voltaire's head is emphasized by the opening of the ruined wall; the heads of women become her eyes, their collars become her upper cheeks and her nose, the dark part of their clothes becomes the shadows cast by her nose and her cheeks, and the white sleeves of the figure on the right form Voltaire's chin. The fruit dishes also create a double illusion: the apple in the central bowl seems to be the back of the figure in the background; the pear in the dish on the right dissolves in the hill in the distance.
The surrealists liked to ridicule the famous philosopher by pointing out that he often contradicted himself, but that they liked one of his most famous works, Candide, because it attacked the philosophical optimism of the previous years. With the disappearance of the bust of Voltaire, Voltaire disappears behind the slave market, as if the philosopher disappeared behind the shareholder of the trade that he was! Dali gave a clue as to the meaning of the painting: "By his patient love, Gala protects me from the ironic world and swarming slaves Gala in my life destroys the images of Voltaire and any vestige of possible skepticism".
