This was my entry to 'On The Spot'...well, i got just nudged out for the top prizes because of
www.flickr.com/photos/bongu/445779099/
and
www.flickr.com/photos/nehashah/458751458/
Do visit them...both are by very talented, budding photographers.
And about the 'just got nudged out' part, well not really. If there was a prize for Worst Entry, I'd have won it hands down. But hey, there wasn't such a prize, so to the ignorant world, I got just nudged out of first and second place. :)
About this snap, it was taken to the theme 'BITS Incognito'. Increased contrast quite a lot to get the deep colours. No other post processing.

So what do you have sitting on your shelves? I have three rows of brains :S
Not really, this is at work (I work for a company called Mindshare, get it?) I so do hope these aren't real.
My office is fab for photos! Love this lightness.
I think this may be a rather old specimen of Leafy Brain fungus (Tremella foliacea). It's the first time I have knowingly seen this fungus even though it is supposed to be widesread and common in the UK!
Leafy Brain is a jelly fungus - tremella, the generic name means trembling - a reference to the wobbly-jelly-like structure of fungi within this grouping. The specific epithet foliacea means folded or wrinkled like leaves. Initially disc-like, the fruitbody develops irregular convoluted folds with rounded margins. Individual fruitbodies grow to between 2 and 20cm across. The leaf-like clusters of folded lobes are usually reddish-brown or pale pinkish-brown but sometimes reddish orange; gelatinous when damp, turning dark and shriveling to an inconspicuous fraction of its former size during very dry weather.
This jelly fungus grows on dead timber of broadleaf trees and conifers. It is not the dead timber that Tremella foliacea consumes but rather a kind of bracket or crust fungus that itself has been feeding on the wood. Tremella foliacea must therefore be classed as a parasitic rather than saprobic species. In Britain (and probably elsewhere) it attacks Hairy Curtain Crust Stereum hirsutum. It can be found throughout the year, but it is most visible in autumn and winter.
Na chuva passeandu de viatura néh Pikoti, não é a nossa cara ...
é nóis rapa dia grande até néh truta...kkkk
The wool was ignited, and was spun around at high revolutions, all the while he was screaming WHaaaa!!! The sparks flew out, and it was so hot, he almost set himself on fire, from deep inside the fan room, of the Brain storm drain
Thought Police at it again....the poor girl in the middle of my image was Brain Washed...her two friends managed to get her out but looks like the usual fire in her eyes is missing.....just fictitious in this case.......but I'm sure it happens

thanks for looking....appreciated.....best bigger....hope you have a Great Weekend
Brain Forest Quipu is a multi-part installation at Tate Modern made up of sculpture, sound, music and video created by Cecilia Vicuña. It is an ancient South American recording and communication system made from knotted threads. At the centre of Brain Forest Quipu are two sculptures that hang 27 metres from the ceiling. They are woven together using a range of organic materials, including found objects, unspun wool, plant fibres, rope and cardboard to evoke the look of bleached-out trees and ghostly forms.
Many of you remember the iconic Mirthmobile from, "Wayne's World," fame. The AMC Pacer featured in that film came complete with a licorice dispenser and a wicked soundtrack by Queen. I think that was actually the first time I heard, "Bohemian Rhapsody".
This Pacer doesn't have a licorice dispenser but it's fully tricked out with all the 'coolest' features for this month's Lugnuts challenge, "Fire and Ice." There is a monster sound system in the hatch accompanied by 20" LCD flat panel TV and a PS3 console. The stock motor has been swapped out for an inline 6 cylinder 4.0 liter Jeep engine. 18" rims front and rear complete the package for one icy cool ride.
Oh wait, what's that? I forgot to mention something? Ah yes, of course. What 1975 Pacer would be complete without lambo doors? The Pacer was remarkably ahead of its time actually, despite making the list of the 50 worst cars of all time. Heralded as the first wide-body compact car, the Pacer also featured a passenger door that was 4 inches longer than the driver side door for easier access to the back seat. This is nicely highlighted by the scissor door kit on the latest creation from Proudlove Design Studio; "Brain Freeze!"
Be sure to check out, "Hot Flash," from the twisted mind of Lino Martins, highlighting a 'hot' feature of another car that made the, "50 Worst," list.
Special thanks to Flickr member 'mopacer' for all the inspiration from Anna Beth's Purple X.
Katzenhirn = Cat's Brain. There's actually a village called Katzenhirn. Imagine how strange it is when someone says " I live in Cat's Brain".
No, I DON'T have a tache :) never have, never will, but for some reason i hadn't shaved for a while in the only portraits i could find when i was playing with the two latest Dictionary of Image ideas. I think the weird blueish light is reflected flash, or it could be my brain leaking.

“It’s all about relationships – relationships are the agent of change. Human beings are social creatures, we are neurobiologically and physiologically intended to be in relationship.” ~ Dr Bruce Perry (2021)
Another development of my ‘brain-art’ series which incorporates my existing smoke art and mandala work. In this image the idea was to convey ‘connectivity’ and the positive ‘flow of energy’ that occurs in the therapeutic alliance when a practitioner is empathically attuned to a person they are helping. It was inspired by the affective neuroscience theories by Dan Siegel, Stephen Porges, Bruce Perry and Louis Cozolino - all leading experts in the field of child development research and trauma-informed approaches...
Formations showing Polygonal Cracking at Vermilion Cliffs National Monument, Arizona.
This image is part of my Southwest set.
From the parking area sign:
This area is a spectacular exposure of red, pink, and white contorted sedimentary rock layers. The bedrock here consists of the Early Jurassic age Navajo Sandstone. The Navajo Sandstone is composed of frosted, well-rounded, fine-to medium-grained quartz cemented by calcium carbonate.
Approximately 190 million years ago, this area was part of a region covered with deep, shifting sand and complex dunes comparable to the modern day Sahara Desert. The dune field encompassed parts of Arizona, Utah, Nevada, Colorado, and Wyoming. The large-scale, high-angle, crossbeds, which can be up to 25-feet wide are characteristic of windblown deposits and are examples of what was once a large dune field.
At that time, periods of monsoonal moisture supported plant and animal life. Organisms left evidence of their existence in this area in bio-turbated beds. Bio-turbation in this area is caused by the mixing of sediments by ancient, burrowing insects and spiders.
The various shades of red, pink, yellow, and brown rocks are due to the oxidation of iron-bearing minerals within the sandstone. The red and pink colors are attributed to the presence of the mineral hematite, while the yellow and brown colors are produced by the minerals limonite or goethite.
The beautifully swirled appearance of the rocks are due to an exceptional exposure of unusually soft sediment deformation and slump sediments. Soft sediment deformation occurs when separated layers of sediment are flooded and/or sheared due to gravitational forces, changes in ground water, or earthquakes.
Thick, massive beds have characteristic polygonal cracks produced by tensile stress and exposed by weather processes. Many theories exist regarding the origin of polygonal cracks, including thermal contraction, moisture cycles, and the drying process of these sediments.

Just wormed its way into EXPLORE - 332rd place.... Thank You All! It is probably only a quick passage and I just caught it....!!!
I confess, I love doing Sudokus, and I love nuts, any nuts, as long they are free of worms.... I don't like walnuts as much as I love pecans, but since all nuts are said to be good for your brain, I thought; walnuts have the form of a brain (sort of....), so out they came from their bag! I happily crunched and munched them, but funnily, they didn't do ANYTHING at all for my Sudoku skills! I also - at this place - confess that I am absolutely useless in math...., so doing Sudoku is a bit like a survival skill for me.... :)
I did this photo for the fun, it's a hot day today, the work in the house drives me crazy, but mostly I did this for the Two Word Wednesdays group! :)
