The small museum harbour and village of Nymindegab belong to the special places I regularly visit during my Easter vacation. Covered in spring light the location performed beautiful as ever. Nymindegab, Jylland, Denmark.
The course of the sun is the epitome of time. This impressive beech tree, standing on the edge of a chasm, can observe that process since many many years now. How many sunrises she may have seen already ? 40.000 ? 100.000 ? more ? How was the world like when she was able to whitness that wonder the first time ?
Der Lauf der Sonne ist der Inbegriff von Zeit. Diese stattliche Buche, direkt an der Kante eines Abgrundes bebachtet diesen Vorgang bereits viele viele Jahre. Wie viele Sonnenaufgänge mag sie schon gesehen haben ? 40.000 ? 100.000 ? mehr ? Wie sah wohl die Welt aus, als sie dieses Wunder das erstmal bebobachten konnte ?

The Museum of Contemporary Art - designed by architect Joseph Paul Kleihues and completed in 1996 - occupies four stories and 220,000 square-feet of space in downtown Chicago, making it the world's largest institution devoted to contemporary art.
Modern art galleries and museums have always wanted to tell a story in the usual fashion of linear history. So as a rule rooms in galleries tended to be set out in historical periods or particular styles. The contemporary curator however eschews all that, throws everything into the mix and allows the viewer to piece together their own story.
Now this is all very well for the informed art lover, but can be very confusing to those who have never studied art history. It's a sink or swim model, and the jury is still out on whether this approach is going to be successful.
This section of the QVMAG was recently renovated to allow for more works to be shown from the very large collection that Launceston has built up over 200 years (the settlement itself was founded in 1806). One problem for photographers is that the light intensity has been reduced to 40 lumens per square metre (for example a 60 watt light bulb provides 800 lumens per square metre). This is so the works are not damaged by excess light. But it does make getting good photographs of the works very difficult indeed. This photograph, for instance, appears much brighter than the lighting actually was.
Mostly like the American painter Thomas Hart Benton… But I wasn’t conscious of it when I took it. I love his sense of rolling motion as an image of America.

Second summer on FlickR. These last months have been quite busy and I definitely need vacation, so taking a long break afk now ... Usually I love to fly away, today I'll be sailing away on a paper boat born from the mist (ok ok I know, paper boats have no sails, but don't spoil my poetic mood ! :-). I wish you all a wonderfull summer, full of love, surprises, discoveries and warm smiles...

In a side room of the Fabrique des Lumières, the contemporary installation "Journey" was on display.
Female figure consulting her smartphone as she goes up Abd el-Kader Street, in Baix Guinardó neighborhood of Barcelona.
Eyes of cerulean, mirrored by mine.
To my daughter I hide my grieving.
Behind me the vessel chimes,
sensing that she will soon be leaving.
Shallow breaths, quiet sighs,
tesla cracks, nascent mother.
The vessel slowly opens her eyes,
Across the room my reborn daughter

This week's theme for Mosaic Montage Monday was Traditional/Contemporary. I am fortunate to have some vintage Sunset magazines. As far as I can tell, the three Sacramento homes featured are still there. Maybe not as houses anymore, though. I looked for the latest issue at several newsstands, but it was not available anywhere yet. The e-version was out, so here it is. Current technology makes things so do-able! HMMM!

- THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR YOUR VISITS AND COMMENTS.!
I've not taken a picture of the Nottingham Contemporary for ages, couldn't resist this one as I passed yesterday.
I went to the Contemporary Hotel to shoot the fireworks. My bad - I didn't pay attention to the schedule and fireworks started 2 hours later than I thought and I had to leave so no fireworks. On the up side the monorails were running a heavy schedule. This caused a train to come to a complete stop right in front of me. I was able to grab this non-blurry, non-grainy shot at night.
When and where and only if
seen and captured
in its essence and soul,
by the eye or better by the camera
there is the chance to share.
The Pyramid of Djoser, sometimes called the Step Pyramid of Djoser or Step Pyramid of Horus Netjerikhet, is an archaeological site in the Saqqara necropolis, Egypt, northwest of the ruins of Memphis. It was the first Egyptian pyramid to be built. The six-tier, four-sided structure is the earliest colossal stone building in Egypt. It was built in the 27th century BC during the Third Dynasty for the burial of Pharaoh Djoser. The pyramid is the central feature of a vast mortuary complex in an enormous courtyard surrounded by ceremonial structures and decoration.
The pyramid went through several revisions and redevelopments of the original plan. The pyramid originally stood 62.5 m (205 ft) tall, with a base of 109 m × 121 m (358 ft × 397 ft) and was clad in polished white limestone. As of 1997 the step pyramid (or proto-pyramid) was considered to be the earliest large-scale cut stone construction made by man, although the nearby enclosure wall "Gisr el-Mudir" is suggested by some Egyptologists to predate the complex, and the South American pyramids at Caral are contemporary.
In March 2020, the pyramid was reopened for visitors after a 14-year restoration.
