I did´nt see the lighthouse in the viewfinder and it was very hard to focus on the blinking light from the lighthouse. Best fullsize.

For this Hugo Boss January 2009 clubroom installation, Geoff Howell Studio created large curved walls that served as movie screens for video loops that we edited and carefully masked to perfectly match the curvature of those walls. In addition, we also built the large sculptural chrome tubed light fixtures, fitted with LEDS and flashing strobes, hung over a series of custom platforms that feauture an optical illusion of infinite depth. The video projections were distortions of a muscular dancing man. All of these elements combined gave the impression of a futuristic dream state where bodies and lights constantly warp and change form.

This scene was also cute, I caught this cub just when (s)he was blinking and also gnawing on a sibling's ear, while the whole family was lying on the "heated stone" (it was cold outside)...
The Gateshead Millennium Bridge is a pedestrian and cyclist tilt bridge spanning the River Tyne
The award-winning structure was conceived and designed by architects Wilkinson Eyre and structural engineers Gifford. It was built by Volker Stevin in 2000.
The bridge is sometimes referred to as the Blinking Eye Bridge due to its shape and its tilting method.
This tilting arrangement allows ships up to 82ft in height to pass under. The bridge takes as little as 4.5 minutes to rotate through the full 40° from closed to open, depending on wind speed!
Hard to believe it's been 5 thousand days, blinking back the world and holding her in the palm of my hand. When I started this daily journal in November 2007, I was a stranger to my surroundings and barely talked to anyone I met. Everything I thought or felt was locked in my mind with what I'd seen, but I'd finally had enough of keeping to myself. There's a limit to introversion, and invisibility is it. I do well with my own company, certainly better than a crowd, but the need to be known is fundamental in everyone. I can't tell you how much this consistency has changed me, making sure that every day was in some way remembered. All those times when I start thinking that I'd rather settle in and stare at the wall, it's my reminder that adventure is waiting to blow my apathy away. 5 thousand days have followed me through every worst and wonderful thing, life and death, love and loneliness. Most of folks only been around for the past year or two, but if you've one of the old familiar faces, shout out. See you on day 10 thousand. Hold fast.

Annalong harbour marker beacon, a few miles south of Newcastle in County Down, Northern Ireland. To the right on the horizon you can see the light from St John's lighthouse coming across the water, on the right the moon is just starting to rise behind the bollards with the beginnings of star tails in the sky. On the marker structure itself the red reflection of the marker lights can be seen on the metal structure in places.

Tenuous Link: FLAME(shaped light bulbs)
This image captured an American Dipper while blinking its white eye-membrane during a courtship or territorial display. Besides being North America's only aquatic songbird, it is also one of the more remarkable bird species. A drab looking, shy, robin-sized bird, it is found on clear, fast-moving, unpolluted rivers and streams in the West from the sub-Arctic down into Mexico. It spends much of its time foraging for aquatic insects and small fish in rushing waters by walking underwater along the bottom using its stubby wings for balance, to propel it forward and resist buoyancy. Well adapted for the cold and a watery environment, it has thick insulating feathers coated with oil from a preening-gland that is 10 times larger than any other songbird. These guys have been known to fly through waterfalls. Its beautiful song is a long series of undulating tremolos and trills, and is especially loud in order to be heard above the sound of roaring waters. On a very cold Yukon winter day, the song provides a welcome serenade during a walk along the river for those lucky enough to hear it.
This bird was sitting on a rock singing, bobbing and flashing its eye-membrane beside some fast-moving open water on the Yukon River. It is thought that this flashy display, along with it's habit of bobbing, may help it to communicate better in this noisy environment. The display is used to defend feeding territory and during courtship season. Because this bird was engaged in a long Spring song and courtship season is near, I suspect the message was not "keep out", rather, " I'm over here baby"! The blinking eyelid thing really seemed to stand out , looking like a beacon going on and off.

" IMAGINE PEACE
Yoko Ono, among the earliest of artists working in the genre known
Conceptual Arts, has consistently employed the theme of peace
and used the medium of advertising in her work since the early 1960s.
Yoko Ono Imagine Peace Featuring John & Yoko's Year of Peace
explores these aspects of her work over the course of more than
forty years.
Three recent pieces - Imagine Peace (Map) (2003/2007); Onochord
(2003/2007); and Imagine Peace Tower (2006/2007) - offer gallery
visitors to an opportunity to participate individually and collectively
with the artist in the realization of work. Consider the world with
fresh eyes as you stamp the phrase "Imagine Peace" on the location
of your choice on maps provided for this purpose. Using postcards
provided send your wishes to the Imagine Peace
Tower in Reykjavik, where they will shine on with eternally more than
900,000 others. Or beam the message "I Love You" to one and all
using the Onochord flashlights. Take a flashlight and an Imagine
Peace button, the artist's gift to you, and carry the message out into the
world. As Ono has often observed, "the dream you dream alone is
just the dream, but the dream we dream together is reality."
The exhibition continues in nine locations with Imagine
Peace/Imaginate La Paz billboards across the San Antonio region.
YOKO ONO IMAGINE PEACE Featuring John & Yoko's Year of Peace is made
possible by the generosity by Bjom's Audio Video-Home Theater, Colleen
Casey and Tim Maloney, Clear Channel Outdoor, Rick Liberto, Smothers
Foundation, and Twin Sisters Bakery & Cafe. "
" John & Yoko's Year of Peace (1969 - 70)
Ono's Imagine Peace project carries conceptual and formal
strategies the artist had employer from the earliest years of her
career, not only in her seminal solo works, but in her collaborations
with John Lennon. In 1965, she created works specifically for the
advertising pages of The New York Arts Calendar. Picking up from
her Instructions for Paintings, a 1962 exhibition at Tokyo's Sogetsu Art
Center in which she exhibited written texts on the gallery walls
designed to inspire viewers to create the described images in their
minds, Ono created purely conceptual exhibitions with her
Is Real Gallery works.
The theme of peace is also evident in works sush as White Chess Set,
recreated here as Play It By Trust (Garden Set version) (1966/2007).
Lennon's songwriting during this period had shifted from more
conventional themes of romantic love to grander anthems for the
Flower Power generation. The Baetles' worldwide satellite broadcast
of Lennon's "All You Need Is Love" in the summer of 1967 featured a
parade of signs with the word "love" in multiple languages.
The couple's most famous collaborative works, the Bed-Ins (1969)
and the War Is Over! campaign (1969 - 1970), were conceived as
elements of a large peace advertising campaign. The Bed-Ins took
advantage of the inordinate amount of press attention the couple
received by inviting the world press to their honeymoon suite where
they talked about peace! Ono told Penthouse magazine's Charles
Childs: "Many other people who are rich are using their money for
something they want. They promote soap, use advertising
propaganda, what have you. We intend to do the same."
In December of 1969, they launched their War Is Over! campaign, a
project that included billboards and posters in 11 cities of the world
simply declaring "War Is Over! If You Want It. Happy Christmas from
John & Yoko." As with Ono's earliest instruction pieces, viewers were
invited to transform their dreams into reality. Ono has explained,
"All my work is a form of wishing." "

Circle of Life
From the day we arrive on the planet
And blinking, step into the sun
There's more to see than can ever be seen
More to do than can ever be done
There's far too much to take in here
More to find than can ever be found
But the sun rolling high
Through the sapphire sky
Keeps great and small on the endless round
It's the circle of life
And it moves us all
Through despair and hope
Through faith and love
Till we find our place
On the path unwinding
In the circle
The circle of life
It's the circle of life
And it moves us all
Through despair and hope
Through faith and love
Till we find our place
On the path unwinding
In the circle
The circle of life

The first phase of what will be a binary counter project - the clock. (Actually, I guess it already is a binary counter, although only a one-bit one.)
Schematic found here on flickr ;)
Blinking lights on the airplane wings,
Up above the trees,
Blinking down a morse code signal,
Especially for me.

These new blinking stop signs have started showing up in Kansas City. they use LED lights and are solar powered.

Statue of Liberty, tall buildings and Times Square. If you don't have pictures of those things after leaving NYC than you either forgot your camera or didn't see the standard tourist traps. I was shocked by the number of people with video cameras just walking around. I mean really, it's just some blinking lights and a news ticker. But there's not many things comparable in the world, hence the ever present crowd.
