ive been reading Huygens treatise on the nature of light. Huygens presciently determined the wave nature of light, but presumed that gravity had no effect on it. rather he looked to aether as the medium that light traveled in. good stuff. im always amazed by the quality of investigation of the early scientists. check out huygen's wiki entry.
Excerpt from en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nikk%C5%8D_T%C5%8Dsh%C5%8D-g%C5%AB:
Nikkō Tōshō-gū (日光東照宮) is a Tōshō-gū Shinto shrine located in Nikkō, Tochigi Prefecture, Japan.
Together with Futarasan Shrine and Rinnō-ji, it forms the Shrines and Temples of Nikkō UNESCO World Heritage Site, with 42 structures of the shrine included in the nomination. Five of them are designated as National Treasures of Japan, and three more as Important Cultural Properties.
Tōshō-gū is dedicated to Tokugawa Ieyasu, the founder of the Tokugawa shogunate. It was initially built in 1617, during the Edo period, while Ieyasu's son Hidetada was shōgun. It was enlarged during the time of the third shōgun, Iemitsu. Ieyasu is enshrined there, where his remains are also entombed. This shrine was built by Tokugawa retainer Tōdō Takatora.
During the Edo period, the Tokugawa shogunate carried out stately processions from Edo to the Nikkō Tōshō-gū along the Nikkō Kaidō. The shrine's annual spring and autumn festivals reenact these occasions, and are known as "processions of a thousand warriors". Cedar trees line the roadway, termed the Cedar Avenue of Nikkō.
Five structures at Nikkō Tōshō-gū are categorized as National Treasures of Japan, and three more as Important Cultural Properties. Additionally, two swords in the possession of the shrine are National Treasures, and many other objects are Important Cultural Properties. Famous buildings at the Tōshō-gū include the richly decorated Yōmeimon (陽明門), a gate that is also known as "higurashi-no-mon". The latter name means that one could look at it until sundown, and not tire of seeing it. Carvings in deep relief, painted in rich colors, decorate the surface of the structure. The next gate is the karamon decorated with white ornaments. Located nearby is a woodcarving of a sleepy cat, "Nemuri-neko", attributed to Hidari Jingorō.
The stable of the shrine's sacred horses bears a carving of the three wise monkeys, who hear, speak and see no evil, a traditional symbol in Japanese culture that is derived from a quote in the Analects.
The original five-storey pagoda was donated by a daimyō in 1650, but it was burned down during a fire, and was rebuilt in 1818. Each storey represents an element–earth, water, fire, wind and aether (or void)–in ascending order. Inside the pagoda, a central shinbashira pillar hangs from chains[3] to minimize damage from earthquakes.
Hundreds of stone steps lead through the cryptomeria forest up to the grave of Ieyasu. A torii at the top bears calligraphy attributed to Emperor Go-Mizunoo. A bronze urn contains the remains of Tokugawa Ieyasu.
In 2008, Yuri Kawasaki became the first female Shinto priest ever to serve at Nikkō Tōshō-gū.
A Spark In The Aether - The Tangent

"Time's not on our side!"
The demons cry inside our heads
We're past the half way line
The paint has lost its shine, it seems, instead
And though our backs are aching
Our dignity's been taken
We're not complaining
Searching for a spark in the aether
It seems for far too long
We've sung old songs to keep us young
But there's more than just one tune
Let's whistle up some new ones, fill our lungs!
Let's engineer a breakdown
Let's get lost on new ground
Tell our friends what we found
Searching for a spark in the aether
All of the barriers and fear of the fall
All of the limits don't matter at all
Taking the hard road, the wind in our hair
There's gold in the twilight if we tear ourselves...
... from the humdrum, from the old songs, from the past!

quite a range of influences available to steampunk fashion, and this is just the beginning of the design process! I am actually considering making many outfits and wearing them year round for various occasions or clubbing or whatever.

Dedicated to my model and great friend who posed her beautiful body and stood up with all my body bending and long time exposure ideas. I love you, you are the best.
Aether was defined throughout science as the element that makes up the region of the universe beyond the Earth or celestial sphere. Some ancients believed that gods and spirits breathed aether in the same way we breathe in oxygen. The concept of aether was used in several theories explaining natural phenomena, like traveling light and gravity for example, also In Greek mythology, it was considered to be the purest essences that Gods needed, filling the space or void where they slumbered.

Lee Oscar Lawrie (October 16, 1877 – January 23, 1963) was one of the United States' foremost architectural sculptors and a key figure in the American art scene preceding World War II. Over his long career of more than 300 commissions Lawrie's style evolved through Modern Gothic, to Beaux-Arts Classicism and finally into Moderne or Art Deco. His work includes the details on the Nebraska State Capitol building in Lincoln, Nebraska and some of the architectural sculpture and, his most prominent work, the free-standing bronze Atlas (installed 1937) at New York City's Rockefeller Center.

===============================
In Greek mythology, Atlas was the primordial Titan who supported the heavens from the ranges now called Atlas. Atlas was the son of the Titan Iapetus and the Oceanid Asia or Klyméne
"Now Iapetus took to wife the neat-ankled maid Clymene, daughter of Ocean, and went up with her into one bed. And she bare him a stout-hearted son, Atlas: also she bare very glorious Menoetius and clever Prometheus, full of various wiles, and scatter-brained Epimetheus."
Hyginus emphasises the primordial nature of Atlas by making him the son of Aether and Gaia. In contexts where a Titan and a Titaness are assigned each of the seven planetary powers, Atlas is paired with Phoebe and governs the moon. He had three brothers — Prometheus, Epimetheus and Menoetius.

Fog from the adjacent Greenbrier River has collected on either side of Second Creek Tunnel with much of it finding its way into the tunnel itself as eastbound Amtrak passenger train #50, the Cardinal, rushes through the bore creating an ethereal scene on the morning of February 28, 2021, in Rockland, WV.
More ICM jiggery-pokery. This is actually two ICM photos blended together, one of a wave and a marker on a beach, the other the sunrise over the sea (which has been turned upside down). Now it looks like a a small hill over a pond, to me - but I suppose it can be whatever you see in it yourself - much like life ;-)
"I never imagined that existence could be so simple, so uncluttered, so Spartan, so free of baggage, so sublimely gratifying. I have reduced the weight of my pack to 35 pounds and yet I can’t think of a single thing I really need that I can’t find, either within myself, or within my pack." David Brill, As Far as the Eye Can See, 1990
This is my camp at the Lower Tapeats Campground on the Colorado River. MSR Hubba Tent, Herradura Anejo Tequila safely hidden in my Osprey Aether 70 backpack, and the ubiquitous orange shovel.
These Lowa boots are great, but they don't make this model anymore. I've got to find the source for a saying I know - "If you want to forget all of your worries, wear a bad pair of boots".
