Caught a coyote watching me from cover this morning. I think it was eating laurel nuts

 

Today is day 188 of Project 365 (Wednesday).

Botnstjörn lake in Asbyrgi

One of my favorite parts. Not sure how the new jet can move so slowly, but I think that's its thing now.

pretty sure that they know what they are doing

Sometimes you just have to change perspective. THese beauties were growing in northern New Medico along the upper Pecos river.

Jardin de sculptures de la Fondation Pierre Gianadda, Martigny, Suisse

 

« Les jardins de la Fondation, ombragés et agrémentés de plans d'eau, présentent d'intéressants vestiges gallo-romains. On peut y admirer une exposition permanente de sculptures du XXe siècle par des artistes de renom international »

 

« Jean Dubuffet est un peintre et un sculpteur connu pour être le fondateur du mouvement de l’art brut. Sa fascination pour l’art des non-initiés, plus particulièrement celui réalisé par les enfants, les malades et ceux pour qui n’ont pas de références culturelles et artistiques, l’incite à imiter leur style pour l’incorporer dans le sien. Né Jean Philippe Arthur Dubuffet le 31 juillet 1901 au Havre, Dubuffet étudie à l’Académie Julian avec Raoul Dufy, Suzanne Valadon et Fernand Léger en 1918, mais quitte sa formation après six mois. Il retourne à l’art au début des années 1940 et forme la Compagnie de l’Art Brut (1948 – 1951, restaurée en 1962) avec André Breton, Slavko Kopac, entre autres. Il meurt le 12 mai 1985 à Paris à l’âge de 83 ans et la Fondation Jean Dubuffet, créée en 1973 dans le Val-de-Marne, continue de présenter ses œuvres. »

Drents-Friese Wold National Park

On the border of the provinces of Friesland and Drenthe lies Drents-Friese Wold National Park. Within this extensive area of woodland and heath lie the shifting sands of Aekingerzand.

 

Het Nationaal Park Drents-Friese Wold is een natuurgebied op de grens van de Nederlandse provincies Friesland en Drenthe. Het Nationale Park bestaat uit bos, heide en stuifzanden. Het is vooral bekend vanwege De Kale duinen (het Aekingerzand). Dit stuifzandgebied is groot genoeg om de wind de kans te geven het zand ook echt te laten stuiven. Met behulp van grazers wordt het gebied verder vrij van gras en bomen gehouden.

Towers of Rosenborg Castle

 

The clouds were lit up orange from citylights. I dialed the colors a bit trying to get a spooky look.

Did I succeed? I think I like it right now, but not sure if I still like it in a few day?... :-)

Tonight's sunset on Goat Rock Beach, a great end to a great day.

I am loving gathering a bunch of stuff from the polytunnel and immediately chopping and serving. Kohlrabi, a couple of types of lettuce, rocket, courgette flowers. radish and courgette.

"A tribute to the botanists from the Royal Botanic Gardens at Kew, who sailed the world to bring back new and exotic plants.

 

- On the nose, juniper and collection of citrus - grapefruit, lemon and bergamot, with a hint of spice from the cardamom.

 

- On the palate there's warming spice notes from cinnamon, nutmeg and cubeb pepper following the juniper and a lingering hint of szechuan pepper on the tip of the tongue.

 

- 15 different botanicals, with an emphasis on blending the citrus notes and spice, it's smooth enough to drink over ice with a grapefruit twist, or to make a gin and tonic full of character.

 

Presented in a beautiful gift box featuring artwork inspired by plant drawings in Kew's archives. The print work on the box uses vegetable oil-based inks and water-based varnish which have not been tested on animals. As such, some minor rubbing and smudging may occur in transit."

 

This is a previously-undiscovered astrophysical anomaly, found in the Hubble Space Telescope’s archive by researchers using a new AI-assisted method. The AI tool allowed them to sift through nearly 100 million image cutouts in just days, turning up rare and anomalous objects like this one.

 

This image depicts a gravitational lens, where the enormous mass of one galaxy distorts, bends and magnifies light from another galaxy behind it, resulting in a warped image of the background galaxy. The gravitational lens is easily identifiable here, with the lensed galaxy forming an arc around the dense core of the foreground, lensing galaxy.

[Image description: A small image of a galaxy. It’s round with a bright white centre and a faint halo of light around that. A band of light runs down through the galaxy, notably bending around the galaxy’s core as if pushed away. This band is an image of a background galaxy, formed by gravitational lensing.]

Homeowner talking with FDNY Firemen about an electrical issue after power-line was knocked out by tree falling down.

One of the greatest wonders of the world, the Great Wall winds up and down across deserts, grasslands, mountains and plateaus stretching approximately 6,700 kilometers (4,163 miles ) from east to west of China. We plan the walk the wall during one of our D+16 field trips.

The spiral galaxy appearing in this week’s Hubble Picture of the Week is named IC 3225. It looks remarkably as if it’s been launched from a cannon, speeding through space like a comet with a tail of gas streaming from its disc behind it. The scenes that galaxies appear in from Earth’s point of view are fascinating; many seem to hang calmly in the emptiness of space as if hung from a string, while others star in much more dynamic situations!

 

Appearances can be deceiving with objects so far from Earth — IC 3225 itself is about 100 million light-years away — but the galaxy’s location suggests some causes for this active scene, because IC 3225 is one of over 1300 members of the Virgo galaxy cluster. The density of galaxies in the Virgo cluster creates a rich field of hot gas between them, the so-called ‘intracluster medium’, while the cluster’s extreme mass has its galaxies careening around its centre in some very fast orbits. Ramming through the thick intracluster medium, especially close to the cluster’s centre, places an enormous ‘ram pressure’ on the moving galaxies that strips gas out of them as they go.

 

IC 3225 is not so close to the cluster core right now, but astronomers have deduced that it has undergone this ram pressure stripping in the past. The galaxy looks as though it’s been impacted by this: it is compressed on one side and there has been noticeably more star formation on this leading edge, while the opposite end is stretched out of shape. Being in such a crowded field, a close call with another galaxy could also have tugged on IC 3225 and created this shape. The sight of this distorted galaxy is a reminder of the incredible forces at work on astronomical scales, which can move and reshape even entire galaxies!

 

[Image Description: A spiral galaxy. Its disc glows visibly from the centre, and has faint dust threaded through it. A spiral arm curves around the left edge of the disc and is noticeably more dense with bright blue spots, where there are hot and new stars, than the rest. Opposite, the disc stretches out into a short tail where it covers a distant background galaxy. Around it, other distant galaxies and some nearby stars are visible.]

Three sea lions do the backstroke in San Francisco Bay. This is from last Sunday. Slowly catching up on posting my pics.

Soon the child's clear eye is clouded over by ideas and opinions, preconceptions and abstractions. Simple free being becomes encrusted with the burdensome armor of the ego. Not until years later does an instinct come that a vital sense of mystery has been withdrawn. The sun glints through the pines, and the heart is pierced in a moment of beauty and strange pain, like a memory of paradise. After that day we become seekers.

Read my beak - no more butterflies! One flap of my wings will cause the end of the global economic crisis, a permanent improvement in British weather and the immediate introduction of Rondel Oro Semi Seco Cava into every Morrisons supermarket.
