One of my cousins is in the hospital right now and she is in critical condition because of a blood clot that went to her brain. She delivered her baby boy, a preemie, a couple of days ago. I can't imagine the grief and stress that they are all going through right now. We are all just waiting and hoping and praying that she will recover. I wanted this image to represent the chaos that is life.
One thing I love about going to Pescadero State Beach is finding these rocks with holes carved in them. Over the years, grains of sand, graduating up to pebbles then rocks, will work their way into a larger rock through wave action. The motion of the water washing around the rocks grinds the smaller rocks into them, creating these holes. As time goes on, larger and larger rocks find their way into the hole enlarging them even more.
Eventually, it's just bits of sand, doing the same thing to other rocks. That it's also shaped like a brain is just a bonus.

" I was working hard the other day..
actually, it was my weekly outdoor field day..
I was ready with my claws all sharp..
what happened next I still can't grasp..
it was like struck by sudden fever..
I was face to face with this big beaver..
my instinct said "stay and fight"..
the brain said " run or jump very high"..
my pride was hurt just a little bit..
not that I will ever admit..
think I will stay inside for a while..
just trying to calm things slightly down..
with my new boring indoor lifestyle.."

With all the named storms we have endured over the winter, the upside is lots of fallen branches ready for a host of fungal species, here, Orange Brain Fungus.....
The “scape_lands“ is a readymade-fotowork series developed since 2011.
The theme is the hermetical law of correspondence (we exist in all planes, astral as well as physical) I discovered the scape_lands in the urban environments, the streets of Berlin.

...as in I'm pretty sure being upside down is good for their brain development. Don't quote me on that though. Unbelievably this is my fifth explore in 5 days!!!!!
An ice cream headache, also known as brain freeze or sphenopalatine ganglioneuralgia, is a brief, sharp pain in the head caused by consuming something cold, like ice cream or a cold drink. It's a common and harmless experience, typically lasting only a few seconds to a minute or two.
Rapid temperature change:
When something very cold, like ice cream, touches the roof of your mouth (palate), it causes a sudden drop in temperature.
Blood vessel response:
This temperature change triggers a rapid constriction and subsequent dilation of blood vessels in the palate and possibly the brain.
Trigeminal nerve:
It's believed that this rapid dilation activates the trigeminal nerve, which carries sensory information from the face and head to the brain, resulting in the sensation of pain.
Referred pain:
The pain is often felt in the forehead or behind the eyes, even though the initial temperature change occurs in the mouth, demonstrating referred pain, according to Johns Hopkins Medicine.

I have major FOMO (fear of missing out), especially if David and Willie are involved. I've always admired David's desert photos and when he invited me to join on a trip to New Mexico, I knew I couldn't pass. Nevermind that the trip fell smack-dab-in-the-middle of a really good friends wedding. The trip was planned for Wednesday through Sunday and I figured I could join for 2 days and fly home in time for the wedding.
Willie and I arrived Wednesday night and drove over to Bisti. By the time we arrived there was no point going to the hotel - instead we drove straight to a sunrise location and slept for a few hours in the car. David joined us just as we were about to wake up. Sunrise was fun with the best photos taken with the drone, we caught a few hours of sleep, met up with Paul Rojas, and scouted for sunset. The area was looking like a dud, so we tore off for a different spot that David knew would be great from the drones.
We all flew the drones through 3 batteries that evening. The light on the badlands was beautiful, creating some really abstract and unique shapes. Just as my first battery was depleting I brought the drone back towards me and noticed this scene. I loved how the light was playing on the circular, brain-like shapes. Rather than landing, I kept the drone in the air until the battery nearly completely drained. I was standing just off the top of the frame here but kept coming back to this spot for these shapes.
The trip and the next few days turned out to be crazy. After spending 2 days in New Mexico, I drove back Friday night, flew out Saturday morning, drove to Yosemite for the wedding, came back Sunday morning, then turned right around and drove to Tahoe, skied one of the top 3 days of my life Monday, and was back home and at work on Tuesday. Quite the whirlwind week!

For Project Soul Pancake: Read A Book That Makes Your Brain Hurt
I enjoy reading, but I'm incredibly picky about the books that I end up reading, I'll go to the library and it will take me hours to find that one book to check out. With that said, we have a lot of books in the house that make my brain hurt. Scott has an endless supply of computer programming, software, networking books that I could have read for this challenge but I decided to try something a little less...dry.
I ended up reading David Suzuki's book "Sacred Balance" which I've tried to read a few times but just couldn't get into before. It's all about how we as humans fit into the world and how we impact our enviroments and how dependant we are on what the earth provides. It fit quite well with a debate that I ended up in the middle of today regarding food and where it comes from. The book was really interesting once I got into it and I'm glad that I worked through the "brain pain" to finish it :)
I was going to wait to upload this, but I can't wait any longer. Title was Dave's suggestion.
Please no comments with photos or awards!! They are ugly and take up too much space. Kipernicus displays a perfect example of inviting this photo to your group. Thanks!
It got as high as #4 on Explorer! Thanks everyone for viewing/commenting/faving.

Here is another panorama of three of the KAT-7 radio-telescopes... captured shortly after sunset... at the SKA site near the Karoo town of Carnarvon.
These telescopes are very photogenic... and they look amazing when you stand right under them and look up through an ultra-wide-angle lens. The problem with this approach is that the more you tilt the lens upwards... the more the telescopes lean inwards... and the closer to the edge of the photo they are... the more they lean! This always looks very odd and unnatural to me... my brain simply can't accept it... so I always try to avoid leaning verticals in my own photos.
For me it was all about finding the balance between getting up as close as I could... while still minimizing distortion. Some of the distortion could be corrected with Photoshop's Lens Correction filter... but the more correction you apply... the more the pixels in the image get stretched and squashed... which is also something that I try to avoid at all cost.
I found the best compromise to be stepping back from the telescopes... and shooting panoramas with a slightly longer focal length... thereby giving the appearance of closeness... with considerably less distortion than when shooting with a wider lens.
Panorama, Nikon D800, Nikkor 14 - 24 mm at 19 mm, ISO of 100, aperture of f/14 with a 10 second exposure.

"White Pocket" is a distinctive rock formation in the Vermillion Cliffs National Monument, Arizona USA.
Well worth the drive through sand and rocks!
This is in the "Arizona Strip", a large section of Arizona north of the Colorado River (Grand Canyon) only accessible by crossing the Navajo Bridge north of Flagstaff or going through Nevada and/or Utah.

I really wanted to call this photo "Look at the big brain on Brad!" but I thought that would be confusing. So I probably went with something even more confusing.
The desert southwest has some crazy rocks!

Jutta for Julia Kay's Portrait Party!
Couldn't resist this late afternoon shot of the bizarre brain rock structures in Vermilion Cliffs national Monument, Arizona.
Loved the amazing rock structures and colours offset against the beautiful blue sky with outrageous wisp clouds...
I hope you enjoy this little taste of the wonder of the Arizona Outback!
Something simple as I begin my second year on Flickr. It's been one helluva fun ride so far!
