I waited in the dark, breathed the salt air, and watched the sky warm for eight minutes before it slipped away. Gulls called, tidal grasses whispered, and the moment was enough

Eastern Chipmunk.
Between 8 1/2 to 11 3/4 inches in length. Reddish brown above with a white belly with 1 white stripe bordered by 2 black stripes on sides ending at the rump and 2 white stripes on back much thinner than side stripes. They have a dark center stripe down the back and pale facial stripes above and below the eyes. The tail is brown on the tip and edged with black. They also have prominent ears.
The Eastern Chipmunk's habitat includes open deciduous woodlands, forest edges, brushy areas, bushes and stone walls in cemeteries and around houses.
They range from southeastern Canada and to the northeastern United States from North Dakota in the west to the Carolinas and Virginia in the east.

The artistic reputation of Léon Spilliaert (1881-1946) has increased considerably in recent years. Not helped or hindered (cross out what is desired) by academic training, he developed a unique style in which he balances painting and drawing. The fact that he paints with Indian ink is already challenging, the subtle addition of colored pencil is completely unusual.
Spilliaert's depictions are highly symbolic (see also previous post in this stream). In a late ink painting like 'Firebreak between the firs' the year is important to understand the scope. In 1944, the last year of the Second World War, Hitler's defeat was already looming, but the end was bitter. Hunger, cold and the death of hundreds of thousands of soldiers preceded peace.
This exhibition in The Hague builds a bridge between Léon Spilliaert and Dirk Braeckman, who never knew each other. What is that bridge? “That is visualizing what you cannot see,” says curator Thijs de Raedt. “Both are nocturnal animals that intuitively head for the magic of deep black.”
The fact that we now see similarities between the two artists also has to do with the revaluation of symbolism and Spilliaert in particular. In the 1970s, there was a renewed sensitivity to indeterminate and uncanny places. In Belgium, a victim of two World Wars, people are perhaps more receptive to that than elsewhere.

Architectural detail of the western-most of the Gates of Time at the Oklahoma City National Memorial. Marked with the time 9:03 to signify the first minute of recovery after the bombing of the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building on April 19, 1995. A companion gate at the eastern end of the memorial is marked 9:01 to represent the last minute of peace before the 9:02 AM explosion.

Between the Lines and Under the Sky of Brasília
Metro (subway), Brasília DF, capital of Brazil. July 2018
Planalto Palace (Plateau Palace), seat of the presidency of the republic.
Life between the architect's lines: Brasília is a planned city, designed by Lúcio Costa and with most of the buildings designed by architect Oscar Niemeyer. It was inaugurated in 1960 and already has almost 3 million inhabitants, whose lives are deeply influenced by the architects' decisions.

Autumn colors 'paint' earthen dam at eastern end of Venable Lake.
DeKalb County, Georgia, USA.
10 October 2025.
***************
🌏 Geographical notes:
☞ The far embankment separates Venable Lake from the larger Stone Mountain Lake, both of which are man-made vestiges of a former granite quarry.
☞ "The land that makes up present-day Georgia had few natural lakes before European settlement, and most impoundments, formed by beavers and debris dams from high flows, were relatively small. The lack of glacial retreat, land slope, and local geology provided conditions for large and small rivers and streams but not for lakes. The natural water bodies that occur in Georgia are primarily located in the southern part of the state in the Coastal Plain, where sinkhole lakes and isolated wetlands in natural shallow depressions largely fed by rain and shallow groundwater, called Carolina bays, form. Hence, the majority of lakes in Georgia that are now enjoyed for recreational, industrial, municipal, and federal government uses are made by people."

Great Blue Heron.
Between 39 to 52 inches long with a wingspan of nearly 6 feet. A common large mainly grayish heron with a pale or yellowish colored bill. It is often mistaken for a Sandhill Crane but flies with its neck folded and not extended like the Sandhill Crane. In southern Florida an all-white form, the "Great White Heron", differs from the Great Egret in that they are larger with greenish-yellow legs rather than the black legs of the Great Blue Heron.
Their habitat includes lakes, ponds, rivers and marshes.
They range from Alaska east to Nova Scotia and south to Mexico in the west and the West Indies in the east. They winter as far notrh as southern Alaska, the central United States and southern New England.
Kensington Metropark, Livingston County, Michigan.
A bracing day on Hopeman beach today and when it rained it poured. The temperature is not far off freezing so snow is possible in the next few days.
Darn hot out there again, exacerbated by the upstairs A/C being out. This scene in the Lofoten archipelago in Norway brings back cooler memories.
Thanks for looking!
