I can hear little clicks inside my dream.
Night drips its silver tap
down the back.
At 4 A.M. I wake. Thinking

The crystal wave, which, imperceptible to the ordinary sense, springs in the dark bosom of the mound against whose foot breaks the flood of the world, he who has tasted it, he who has stood on the mountain frontier of the world, and looked across into the new land, into the abode of the Night -- truly he turns not again into the tumult of the world, into the land where dwells the Light in ceaseless unrest.
- Novalis (1800)
Santana Row. The main strip splits and turns into one way traffic. On some of the crosswalks they have these little guys painted on the ground as a friendly reminder to look in the right direction. Shot with Fuji 23mm lens in Classic Chrome.
PHOTO ESSAY: ON THE ROW
About this one. I uploaded it before, and deleted it. I edited this a lot and... meh, I gueessee I'm okay with the outcome. But that's it, I'm just okay with it. Well, I don't know. It's gonna stay up. Ummm... yeah? And my bra is REALLY ANNOYING ME!!! argh!
I need to go out,
sleep. Meh. But, this weekend... I want to do something, even though I don't think I'm going to be able to. I have soo many ideas in my little head though. Argh, it's killing me that I really can't do any. I need good light, which is in the morning. I need model people (I don't want to use myself again). Ahhh, I love this feeling... so many ideas!!! Yay. All thanks to music... wohoo! Okay, enough. Back to memorizing Hamlet.

Two weeks after the flood we have now snow in Paris, very unusual for us. Like during the flood, all the parisian flickr are trying to capture this rare event.

Deux semaines après la crue, on a maintenant la neige à Paris. Comme pendant la crue, tout le flickr parisien est de sortie pour essayer d'en profiter.
Sublime Essay.
Modo dicitur infinitum dissimilium partium aquae demonstrationes immobilem intermedia absurdas rationes animadverti mutationes,
попередні аргументи вниз напрямки труднощі регіони необхідні пересування довільні місця розумні позиції особливих величин чіткі лінії,
le divisioni percepiscono modi diversi di ostacolare le distinzioni che possiedono conseguenze che ruotano i sistemi all'interno delle parti simultanee del confine,
la légèreté infinie suppose que les masses tiennent grandes les grands poids proportionnels du raisonnement proportions inverses temps égal temps continuellement décroissant,
vernietigbare referenties toegepaste woorden predikeren moeilijkheden evenredige afmetingen maximale toepassingen mogelijke kwantiteit overwegingen,
発言位置の確認は世界の高度な制限障害アカウントセンターは自然な場所で異議を唱えます無関心な四肢は作家の重い事実を想定重い事実.

A thoughtful gift given to us by some houseguests from abroad. Brought them outside to take a picture and immediately attracted a pollinating insect. (It’s not a bee.)
Featured in my photo essay “Flora in Focus.”
I would never call myself a car nut or car enthusiast, to be honest. A friend and I saw an advert for a car show some time back and we decided it was a good way to spend a warm Sunday afternoon. Our very first time at a vintage car show and it didn't disappoint.
So I have decided to start doing more things outside of my regular comfort zone. Never in a million years did I think about cars as a subject but trying something new is always Let's see how that goes. My blog post explains in a bit more detail and I've included the link to it in this caption.
I am so proud of this one, guys. Because this isn't the original image. This is actually a composite because I removed the background which was full of cars and people and changed the boring sky to this gorgeous blue. It's not perfect But I'm happy for the practice. Sometimes, you have to make your own reality....know what I mean? It's more about the craft and the feeling sometimes. ;)
To all of you, enjoy the weekend and have an awesome week ahead, wherever you are!

I'm still making my images using an old and simple 2009 version of photo manager software produced by ACDSee. And during the last two decades I've used it to produce 37,538 original image variations, only 4589 of which appear on Flickr - the rest sit on my hard-drive and now serve as an almost endless source of raw material for new abstracts. Not sure what to do about using AI to produce artwork. This old guy may just continue to use his 2009 copy of ACDSee. Cheers. H

I think I found my next photo essay. Interesting cars with my hasselblad. A very easy target though. This will be a work in progress.
At the start of this year when Graham’s 318 Coffee House in Geneva reopened after major renovations I popped in to tell the owner Bob how much I admired the new look. I mentioned that I especially enjoyed the meandering path that leads to the front door. I wondered aloud if it was deliberately made with such tight curves in order to slow folks down, as in some Japanese garden designs where paths can sometimes take an unexpected or abrupt turn in an effort to slow down the walker and make them more conscious of their surroundings. Bob replied that while that’s a beautiful principle that he was unfamiliar with, the real reason for the tight meander here is more functional: should the path from the sidewalk to the front door be a straight line, it would be too steep a grade for wheelchairs to make. I found this an interesting example of how our manufactured surroundings are a vibrant mix of both the aesthetic and the practical.
**Blue Miracle on a Snowy Background**
The blue tit, a magnificent little creature that we often pass by without stopping, is a true warrior of nature. Despite its apparent fragility, it faces our harsh winters without faltering. Ironic, isn't it? While we stay warm, this ball of feathers demonstrates its courage in the face of the cold. Perhaps we should take a lesson from it?
**Miracle bleu sur fond de neige**
La mésange bleue, un petit être magnifique qu’on croise souvent sans s’arrêter, mais c'est une vraie guerrière de la nature. Malgré sa fragilité apparente, elle affronte nos hivers rigoureux sans faiblir. Ironique, non ? Tandis que nous restons bien au chaud, cette boule de plumes déploie son courage face au froid. Peut-être devrions-nous prendre exemple sur elle ?
---
Merci beaucoup ! Contente que ça te plaise.
Pensez-vous que nous, les humains, pourrions tirer des leçons de résilience et d'adaptation de la mésange bleue, ou sommes-nous trop confortablement installés pour même essayer ?

Sitting in the Engineer's seat on a GG1 headed to New York, we pass ESSAY Tower in South Amboy. Actually I'm riding backwards in the trailing cab of G 4873 as we head for the engine terminal at South Amboy. May 1982.
The txalaparta is a unique music ensemble of stones, woods and pipes and two players who beat out a rhythm that is musically a tour de force of co ordination.
It is an old form of music much in vogue in the Basque region of Spain but has suffered terminal neglect and as a result not much of it is known to the people. The genre of music originated as a mode of communication in the hilly regions of the Basque foothills from one village to another to announce funerals, making of cider etc etc.
There has been a steady resurgence of the music form over the last 15-20 years.
Maika and Sara Gomez are twin sisters from the Basque region who are one of the leading proponents of the txalaparta. They go by the name of "Ttukunak".
They make a fine sight while they play the exotic music and the sound of course to use the cliched term is -"awesome"
You can see a slideshow of photographs on the band's website ttukunak.ning.com/
You can hear some samples of the music here

"Je voudrais pas crever
Avant d'avoir connu
Les chiens noirs du Mexique
Qui dorment sans rêver
Les singes à cul nu
Dévoreurs de tropiques
Les araignées d'argent
Au nid truffé de bulles
Je voudrais pas crever
Sans savoir si la lune
Sous son faux air de thune
A un côté pointu
Si le soleil est froid
Si les quatre saisons
ne sont vraiment que quatre
Sans avoir essayé
De porter une robe
Sur les grands boulevards
Sans avoir regardé
Dans un regard d'égout
Sans avoir mis mon zobe
Dans des coinstots bizarres
Je voudrais pas finir
Sans connaître la lèpre
Ou les sept maladies
Qu'on attrape là-bas
Le bon ni le mauvais
Ne me feraient de peine
Si si si je savais
Que j'en aurai l'étrenne
Et il y a z aussi
Tout ce que je connais
Tout ce que j'apprécie
Que je sais qui me plaît
Le fond vert de la mer
Où valsent les brins d'algues
Sur le sable ondulé
L'herbe grillée de juin
La terre qui craquelle
L'odeur des conifères
Et les baisers de celle
Que ceci que cela
La belle que voilà
Mon ourson, l'Ursula
Je voudrais pas crever
Avant d'avoir usé
Sa bouche avec ma bouche
Son corps avec mes mains
Le reste avec mes yeux
J'en dis pas plus faut bien
Rester révérencieux
Je voudrais pas mourir
Sans qu'on ai inventé
Les roses éternelles
La journée de deux heures
La mer à la montagne
La montagne à la mer
La fin de la douleur
Tous les enfants contents
Et tant de trucs encore
Qui dorment dans les crânes
Des géniaux ingénieurs
Des jardiniers joviaux
Des soucieux socialiste
Des urbains urbanistes
Et des pensifs penseurs
Tant de choses à voir
A voir et à z-entendre
Tant de temps à attendre
A chercher dans le noir
Et moi je vois la fin
Qui grouille et qui s'amène
Avec sa gueule moche
Et qui m'ouvre ses bras
De grenouille bancroche
Je voudrais pas crever
Non monsieur non madame
Avant d'avoir tâté
Le goût qui me tourmente
Le goût qu'est le plus fort
Je voudrais pas crever
Avant d'avoir goûté
La saveur de la mort..."
