Santos Platform Bed
"A revelatory spin on the classic platform, the Santos Bed features vertical headboards perched effortlessly atop a substantial bed frame. The plank-like base design is sturdy and dependable, while the angled headboards provide a touch of contemporary whimsy. Sweet dreams."
I have a love/hate relationship with HDR images.
On one hand, if it's done well (see this article: www.luminous-landscape.com/essays/hdr-plea.shtml), the results can be stunning and remain true to what the human eye sees. If done poorly (too much tone mapping / compression), it ends up looking conspicuously unnatural, as if we've reverted to throwing a whole bunch of creative filters on in Photoshop. Caveat: "poorly" is a subjective term here as this is all based on my interpretation of what I consider pleasing to the eye. If you like your HDR surrealistic, all the more power to you.
The X100 is only capable of +/- 1EV via 3 exposures when bracketing, so that's what I've merged here via HDR Efex. I tried going +/- 2EV by manually exposing, but the results when merged had too much ghosting from the delay between shots. My goal was to accurately represent the entire tonal range from the flare of the setting sun to the colour in the clouds and the shadowed rocks in the foreground.
I think this came out looking pretty natural. Agree? Disagree? Voice yourselves; I'm looking for some constructive feedback as this is my first HDR image.

Selected Independent Art Exhibitions and new media events
A "virtual environment" is an installation that takes place in a virtual world and in some cases it is a "hybrid" which means it is showing in both a virtual world and real world location at the same time. So for example Family unit was shown for a month to thousands of people in the virtual world while also playing on a monitor in a real world museum in Rome, Italy.

Saline soils contain enough soluble salts to injure plants. They are characterized by white or light brown crusts on the surface. Saline soils usually have an EC of more than 4 mmho cm-1. Salts generally found in saline soils include NaCl (table salt), CaCl2, gypsum (CaSO4), magnesium sulfate, potassium chloride and sodium sulfate.
This region represents the low lying coastal flats dominated by saline soils and slightly higher gypsic rises but including some areas of carbonatic sand sheets underlain by miliolite.

A hand fan is an instrument and a fashion accessory designed so that with a rhythmic and variable play of the wrist, air can be moved and cooling is facilitated when in a hot environment.
HISTORY: The umbel or parasol and the flabellum, a large fixed fan with a long handle, are considered precedents in Egypt —at least since the 19th dynasty— and in Asia of the modest and functional folding fan and its western variants.
Already in the tomb of Tutankhamun, two fans with precious metal handles were deposited as part of the pharaoh's trousseau.
An essential object in Chinese and Japanese cultures, both in ceremonies and in theater, which synthesizes the fantasy of these peoples in the different types of fans.
In China, the origin of the rigid fan dates back to 2697 BC. C., with the emperor Hsiem Yuan.
LANGUAGE AND SECRET CODES: Progressively a complicated language of codes was developed, according to the movement and position of the fans.
Thus, for example, quickly fanning oneself looking into your eyes translated as "I love you madly", but if it was done slowly, the message was very different: "I am married and you are indifferent to me".
Opening the fan and showing it was equivalent to: “you can wait for me”.
Holding it with both hands advised a cruel “you better forget me”.
If a woman dropped her fan in front of a man, the passionate message was "I belong to you".
If she supported him open on her chest at the level of the heart: "I love you."
If she covered her face with the open fan: "Follow me when I go."
If she rested it on her right cheek it was equivalent to a "yes", but if she rested it on her left it was a resounding and cruel "no". Source: Wikipedia.

UNA HERRAMIENTA TRADICIONAL PARA AYUDAR CON EL CALOR DEL VERANO, 2023
Un abanico de mano es un instrumento y un complemento de moda ideado para que con un juego de muñeca rítmico y variable se pueda mover aire y facilitar la refrigeración cuando se está en un ambiente caluroso.
HISTORIA: La umbela o quitasol y el flabellum, gran abanico fijo de largo mango, se consideran precedentes en Egipto —al menos desde la dinastía XIX— y en Asia del modesto y funcional abanico plegable y sus variantes occidentales.
Ya en la tumba de Tutankamón se depositaron, como parte del ajuar del faraón, dos abanicos con mango de metales preciosos.
Objeto esencial en las culturas china y japonesa, tanto en ceremonias como en el teatro, que sintetiza la fantasía de estos pueblos en los diferentes tipos de abanico.
En China, el origen del abanico rígido se sitúa hacia 2697 a. C., con el emperador Hsiem Yuan.
LENGUAJE Y CÓDIGOS SECRETOS: Progresivamente se llegó a desarrollar un complicado lenguaje de códigos, según el movimiento y posición de los abanicos.
Así, por ejemplo, abanicarse rápidamente mirándote a los ojos se traducía como “te amo con locura”, pero si se hacía lentamente, el mensaje era muy distinto: “estoy casada y me eres indiferente”.
Abrir el abanico y mostrarlo equivalía a un: “puedes esperarme”.
Sujetarlo con las dos manos aconsejaba un cruel “es mejor que me olvides”.
Si una mujer dejaba caer su abanico delante de un hombre, el mensaje era apasionado "te pertenezco".
Si lo apoyaba abierto sobre el pecho a la altura del corazón: “te amo”.
Si se cubría la cara con el abanico abierto: “Sígueme cuando me vaya”.
Si lo apoyaba en la mejilla derecha equivalía a un “sí”, pero si lo apoyaba sobre la izquierda era un “no” rotundo y cruel. Fuente: Wikipedia.

Vus'musi was the first offspring from a herd of Elephants in Africa that was saved from culling, mass killing, due to species overpopulation in the game preserve, and the impact of their natural, but destructive nature. Baby elephant "Impunga" seen sitting here on his big brother, was the third offspring from the saved Elephants, Khosi was the second elephant born. Recently a 4th baby elephant has joined this growing family at the San Diego Wild Animal Park preserve.
The swimming pool was being prepared for the African elephants and Impunga wanted to make sure Vus'musi joined in on the fun.

…it is so Vienna, an empty shop, bar or cafè obviously being renovated…
Why not of cause let an artist paint on the window, that is one thing I loved about Vienna… the small (or big) surprises one would get just walking about…
This photo was snapped somewhere close to the Kettenbrücke station, somewhere in the small streets around there, the year would probably be 2009 because I think we lived on Margareten then!!!
peace and Noise!

Week 14
Landscape: Zoomed in
Most landscapes are wide sweeping images. Try an alternative and zoom in instead.
One of the sessions at Living Planet Symposium focused on human adaptability to extreme environments. The discussion was triggered by the different experiences of the three speakers: ESA Astronaut Luca Parmitano, ESA CryoSat Mission Geophysicist Alessandro di Bella and Omar Di Felice, an extreme cyclist. All three have lived or worked in very difficult, albeit different, environments.

At the end of our drive, I turned right and left as the blizzard slowed & realized it was a great thing we had no where to go, as we were not getting out anytime soon. The township eventually got down the road to clear things out. 50+ degree today and lots of rain lately-all a good thing!
