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 ?

Many thanks to everyone for your visits, comments and faves!
Very much appreciated!
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.

Este fin de semana es el día de las Fuerzas Armadas aquí en Asturias.
El viernes con la visita del rey Felipe VI aquí en Gijon, se realizo una exhibición donde Los harriers tenían un papel muy importante.
decir que el Harrier («aguilucho» en inglés), también llamado «Harrier Jump Jet» o el «Jump Jet», es un avión a reacción militar de diseño británico capaz de realizar despegues y aterrizajes verticales/cortos (V/STOL), mediante empuje vectorial. De los muchos diseños de este tipo que surgieron a partir de los años 1960, el Harrier ha sido el único que ha tenido éxito comercial.
Existen cuatro versiones principales en la familia Harrier: los Hawker Siddeley Harrier (AV-8A Harrier) y BAE Sea Harrier de primera generación, y los AV-8B Harrier II y BAE Harrier II de segunda generación.
Feliz semana amigos

Out upon the blue-tinted waters of the central lake. It boiled and heaved with strange life. Great slate-colored backs and high serrated dorsal fins shot up with a fringe of silver, and then rolled down into the depths again. So tomorrow i would disappear into the unknown just like ℒife itself a never ending journey.
I've not taken a picture of the Nottingham Contemporary for ages, couldn't resist this one as I passed yesterday.
In our earth-lab, a life form has existed randomly, thanks to the reaction of atoms of the ingredients which were already there, in the lab, for the creation of this life form. It has started to develop and expand on the earth, randomly. Later, after billions of years, it got conscious, randomly , but not all life forms have headed to the same direction. The evolution occurred according "the tree of life”.
Speculation:
Big bang has sealed the fate of our future by creating the atom based universe, like all the necessary ingredients were put in a beaker, in a chemical lab, to become the expected ( not randomly) chemical solution.
A life form is the expected result, depending of the time, of the existence and reaction of ingredients in a beaker.
