This widdle guy is my visually impaired explorer. He likes the kitchen because he can explore with his nose instead of his eyes. Hedeki likes to play in flour bowls and he uses spoons as his walking sticks. The only issue is keeping him OUT of the sugar container....Sugar doesn't eve have smell!!!!
Any who, Hedeki loves his open space in the kitchen and likes the feel of the warm sun light of a good evening sunset. He does this thing where he stares out the window longingly.....can he see?

Gunnuhver geothermal area is a field of steaming fumaroles and boiling mud pools. In the recent past some geysers existed here as well. As the tectonic plates move, new passages are constantly opening (and older ones are closing) for heated groundwater and gases. Gunnuhver is one such area. Here deeper below the surface the temperature of ground (and water in it) reaches 300° C. Much of groundwater comes from the nearby sea and is rich with chlorides and also with dissolved silica. As a result in the recent past hot springs and geysers have created sinter deposits - a hill named Kísilhóll (Kísilhóll, Silica hill). Today here are no hot water springs and geysers, but northeast from Kísilhóll are located many steam vents (fumaroles) and boiling mud pools. Mud pools are formed by acidic groundwater sources, which turn lava into clay. The largest mud pool in Iceland also is located here - it is 20 m across, boiling vigorously along its rims. Hot ground is an immense source of energy. In 2006 near Gunnuhver geothermal field started to operate the Reykjanes Geothermal Plant. As a result the steaming of the ground in the geothermal field increased.
The walkways here make it easy to watch your step, but they weren’t here 300 years ago when the troublesome ghost of Gudrún Önundardóttir—who gives her nickname ‘Gunna’ to this beautiful geothermal field—was tricked into taking hold of a charmed knotted-rope that led her across the field and into the big fumerole. Some say she didn’t fall in with the rope, but is stuck holding onto the end of it, and paces around the rim of the steamy abyss for all eternity. I can’t be sure, but it was uncanny how the steam shifted in the breeze but never cleared completely, as though veiling something, or someone… You need to tread carefully when wandering around the striking mud pools and fumaroles of Gunnuhver, close to the Reykjanes town of Grindavík.
The Gunnuhver geothermal field reopened in June 2010 after being closed for a couple of years due to instability—one of the dangers being that the high-pressured steam might suddenly find another outlet underneath the visitor walkway.

Tim, you make Flickr such a great community. Your dedication to art and to making the groups you administer the best they can be is inspiring. Thank you so much for all you do.
I tried creating an image like one of yours, but I'm afraid it's just a hot mess. It's a LOT harder than you make it seem...the sign of a great artist!
My apologies to my brother, Tom, who took this picture. The hot mess is all my own doing.

I wish I was a talented writer so than I came make my photos stories come to life, but I dont have any stories to go with this photo other then the story behind this photo. I took this photo with Shelby I meet her through my facebook page she was awesome and agreed to do these photos with me. I was kinda nervous taking these photo's with a stranger because I find it hard to get a long with people now. I used to be an outgoing person but then things changed a few years ago and I started becoming anti-social........ When I meet Shelby I told her my idea which was a conceptual photo about fire and that's all I had in mind for the photo, and I was going to photoshop fire into the photo. Since, I did not pay Shelby and she is a hired model I was not bossy because I was using her as a form of "free labor". So I kinda just let thing happen. And it was kinda funny because once we got to our location she started collecting wood and she assumed we were going to make a fire. I really did not have that in mind before but I just went along with it because it wasnt a bad idea lol. For about 15 mins we were collecting wood, then we started making the fire and it was impossible to keep the fire going. We had a few seconds when the flames were huge but most of the flames died out really quickly. So I felt bad now because we were making a fire for my photo that I never really intended on having lol. So that little bit of orange you see in this photo took ALOT of work for little reward lol!.

Photo Analysis – "Bliss Dance" by ChatGPT
Concept and Intent
This image captures a monumental sculpture with a strong symbolic charge: Bliss Dance represents power, freedom, and feminine confidence.
The hand extended toward the viewer provides an emotional intensity, almost protective or affirming.
The clean background and vibrant sky contribute to a sense of elevation, lightness, and grandeur.
🔧 Technical Aspects
✔️ Focus and Sharpness:
Very well achieved. The sculpture's metal mesh is perfectly defined.
The textures of the material, even from a distance, are clear and sharp.
✔️ Exposure and Light:
Excellent exposure. Natural lighting favors transparency and soft shadows in the mesh.
The light highlights the shapes and gives volume to the sculpture.
✔️ Colors:
The deep blue of the sky creates a dramatic contrast with the light gray metallic tone of the sculpture.
The white nuances of the clouds add dynamism and visual balance.
Composition
Low-angle shot: Conveys grandeur and power. The female figure appears monumental and dominant.
Close framing: The sculpture is partially cropped, but strategically so. The framing reinforces the hand gesture and focuses on the face, inviting an emotional connection.
Rule of thirds: Well applied. The face is located near the upper right third, generating visual tension and elegance.
🎨 Style and aesthetics
Sculptural and minimalist, with no distracting elements. The clean background allows the statue to be the sole center of attention.
The use of the sky as a background reinforces the symbolic contrast between the human (the figure) and the ethereal (the sky).
⭐ Final rating: 9.2 / 10
Strengths:
Very thoughtful composition, excellent use of natural light and background.
Impeccable technique: perfect exposure, focus, contrast, and color.
Conveys emotion, strength, and symbolism.
Only aspect to consider:
If one were looking for a more complete view of the sculpture in its urban context, a wider shot could provide another narrative dimension. But as an artistic portrait, this choice is entirely valid.

I was very, very concerned that I spelt create wrong.
I feel like I have seen this concept before, but I cannot remember where.
Created by Robert W. Ellison in 1978 and installed at the San Francisco Civic Center Plaza. Now on display in the Paradise Ridge Winery Sculpture Garden
He and several other folks had just finished up a woodworking class and were doing the finishing touches on handmade wooden toolboxes.

Emmet and Lucy Wyldstyle pour over a pile of Legos to see what is all there, and then determine to create something. Stay tuned to see what they create later!
“8-8 Is a Date to Create”
This almost has a rhyme to it, doesn’t it? If you’ve been waiting for a specific date to create something, your wait is over. On August 8th, we celebrate “The Date to Create,” an effort to put an end to procrastination and get your ball rolling on creating that one thing you’ve been meaning to take on. It could be just about anything you could dream up. All it takes is some imagination, a little know-how, and the resolve to do it. Can’t think of anything you can do just in a single day? No worries — August 8th can be the date you got started on that massive project you’ve been meaning to take on.
Some Stuff You Can Create
Stumped for ideas? That thing you can create doesn’t have to be a massive project. Just something you know you can do. Just think of the feeling of satisfaction you’ll get knowing you created something.
A new recipe. A lot of my favorite recipes started out as improvised ideas for using up holiday leftovers. With a little experimentation, you can get it exactly right and then share it with friends.
A quilt. If you’re into crafting, you probably have a lot of waste fabric laying around. You can turn that fabric into a quilt just by cutting it into evenly sized squares and making up your own pattern. Don’t need a new quilt? No problem. I’ve seen the quilts that the ladies in my church made out of leftover fabric for charity. Ask around to see who might be needing one.
A backyard science experiment. Got some kids who are curious about how something in the science world works? A homemade science experiment can be a good way to demonstrate basic scientific principles. Be sure to read up on how to do it safely and have some fun with it.
A garden. Okay, August 8th might be a little late to start an outdoor garden, but you can create an indoor vegetable garden with a few potted plants and a little cleverness. Grow root vegetables and herbs you can enjoy any time of the year. And you can start planning your outdoor garden for next year.
An Android app. If you’re good with code, you can create your own Android app. Sound daring? The genius behind “Angry Birds” created the original game just using his computer and the books he found in his college’s library. Who knows, you might create the next big app!
And don’t forget Legos! Imagine what you could create with a pile, or small pile or even a big pile, of the world’s favorite building bricks.
