Fantastic close-up of Kage and those pretty yellow green eyes. Just taken with my Sony Cybershot 2 Megapixel, but I think the closeness resembles a macro.
closeup of 4-5 days' wind movement, from Helsinki
via sensors and Processing, into form
Wind movement measurement data (wind direction, velocity and temperature) was used to generate a 3d form, which was then cut out of wood.
( Digital wind meets wood :)
The wind line's direction is the compass direction of the wind, the wind's velocity is translated into the sculptural/formal wind line's direction. And, the wind's temperature is translated into the wind's height. The plateau represents 0°c. When the wind line is above, the temperature is somewhere above zero degrees, when the wind is cold, it digs into the wood surface.
The project is made possible via (Processing and) a kind cooperation between the Media Lab and School of Design/Paja (special thanks Hannu, the machine master!) Of the Helsinki Aalto University/Art & Design campus.
The data very generously comes from the Finnish Meteorological Institute's Testbed Helsinki Project.

Two weeks ago, I was out on lunch at Wellfield when it became apparent that I was coming down with something. I was struggling to focus my attention, the camera was shaking everywhere, I was failing to see things intruding into the frame and background. Just after this shot my digestive system rebelled and I was making a desperate run for the nearest washroom.
Note to self: pay more attention to what your body is telling you.

Since I can see that the view is aligned with Nicollet Mall, and I can cross that axis with the runway I landed on, it is possible to find out where I was flying over to take this photo! :-)
This cutie was bouncing about my kitchen. I approached in a calm, authoritative fashion, while speaking softly, and convinced it that I was not malevolent. Twenty minutes after release, I was in the back yard and it returned, scrutinizing me at a distance ranging from 5 to 15 feet for a period of 4 to 5 minutes.
**Its plumage is best appreciated in the 'large' size.**
Life is good.
A bit of research shows it to be a female Calliope Hummingbird.
