I am fascinated by the Krebs cycle and photosynthesis, by the migration of the Red Knot and the monarch. I am fascinated by the internet, TV and radio. I am fascinated by the devotion a dog has for his master.

i'll do anything to be happy
cause blue skies are coming
but i know that it's hard
cause it's time to leave those feelings behind.
e non lasciarti dietro sassolini, molliche di pane, plettri d'osso, setole di sangue.
non c'è bisogno di ritrovarsi stavolta, cercarsi, attendersi, confondersi, lasciarsi fili rossi o appannare vetri per risvegliarli, per disegnarci addosso vecchie storie, nuove promesse, le stesse paure di sempre.
ora, no.
distenditi qui, che ti racconto.
'Headpiece' might not be the correct name for this sophisticated combination of earring, chains and pendant, but it will have to do.

Ellora Cave 16: the Kailasanatha Temple. 8th century.
Mesmerising. This does not even begin to describe what i felt when i first saw this work of art. I do get emotional when i get to see good engineering - good engineering is also great art - but this was something else altogether. I remember repeating 'oh my god, oh my god', as I circumbulated the stucture in awe.
Dedicated to the Hindu god Shiva, this temple is a vertical excavation of a single rock, meaning that the artisans started at the top of the original rock, and excavated downward, and scooped out all through from outside to inside. The temple covers an area of over 60000 square feet, and at its tallest point is about 90 feet high.
It is considered one of the most remarkable cave temples in India because of its size, architecture and sculptural treatment.
From Wikipedia, a reason for its vertical excavation:
"... the local king suffered from a severe disease. His queen prayed to the god Ghrishneshwar (Shiva) at Elapura to cure her husband. She vowed to construct a temple if her wish was granted, and promised to observe a fast until she could see the shikhara (top) of this temple. After the king was cured, she requested him to build a temple immediately, but multiple architects declared that it would take months to build a temple complete with a shikhara. One architect named Kokasa assured the king that the queen would be able to see the shikhara of a temple within a week's time. He started building the temple from the top, by carving a rock. He was able to finish the shikhara within a week's time, enabling the queen to give up her fast... "
Conceptualizing an idea that would take 200 years to complete, take 7500 people to finish, with buy-in from 10 generations of stake holders, detailing it to the T (a house of god cannot have a wrong cut), excavating 400000 tonnes of rock, all of these could only have been possible because of the sheer brilliance, love and devotion of those involved.

Berkeley School of Environmental Design & Architecture, Visual Design Department Class Project.
Berkeley was full of food carts adjacent to the campus; so the instructors came up with a project to design a cart of your own. The theme or the purpose of the cart did not have to center on food.
I choose food for the soul. The Golden Road to Devotion - The Center of Innerspace. This was tongue & cheek attempt at satire for Berkeley and the Age of Aquarius was still alive in well in the late 1970s. The name was lifted from the title of a Grateful Dead song.
The project was to design a paper model of the cart complete with tabs that could be cut out, folded and assembled with glue. The folding instructions are provided in the upper right corner of the sheet, refer to the other photo.
how much longer?
wait for the signal.
how will I know it's him?
the crowd noise will tell you.
I've never done this before.
relax. you'll be fine. just take a deep breath and hold it before the shot.
I'm nervous.
you should be. it's been almost 20 years since The Bird pitched here. and now he's back.
my camera will shake.
hold your breath, then squeeze. you'll be ok.
you sure?
I'm sure.

L’île de Bali est un lieu où la prière est présente à chaque instant. Cette dévotion se traduit par des offrandes quotidiennes, des cérémonies grandioses et des moments de recueillement intenses.
Le Temple Hindouiste de Tirta Empul est l'un des sanctuaires les plus importants de l'île, un source sacré alimente des bains publics où les pèlerins viennent se purifier.
