Chairs, Benches and Seats
This is yet another new series of photographs this time about Chairs and Benches with a few other seating items thrown in.
They can be Regal, Practical, Ultra Design items, Art Installations, used for Potty Training. They can even be vehicles of Execution. They hold immense power and none at all. From the densest populated cities, to the most remote parts of the world. Usually sturdy; reliable; honest; comfortable; often filled with people. People talking, sleeping, with their phones, eating, climbing to reach other items, feeding birds, making love and every scenario one can think of.
The imagination can run riot over the most important conversations that have taken place on them, what they could tell you if they could, what they would tell you if they wanted too. As usual I hope you enjoy what I have posted and this is the next in the series…….
A basilica is a church with an ordinary roof that does not have a domed shape. It is such a building, built in the X century, located on the main square of the city.
When Georgia became a Christian country, mass executions of priests and adherents of paganism took place on the territory. At the same time, temples were rebuilt in the church, leaving no chance for another religion. From the largest building where the pagans worshiped their gods, they made a three-nave Christian basilica. But the churches did not stand for a long time and by now have already been destroyed.
Uplistsuli in translation from Georgian means "Church of the Prince." The uniqueness of the temple lies in the fact that it was built in a purely Georgian style: the side rooms from the main are separated by walls, not columns.
Near Uplistsuli you can see the ruins of the basilica, defeated in the era of resistance to Christianity.
The special sauce of Second Life is that it helps us to feel things. Sometimes it is the tender touch of another human even when they are thousands of miles away. Other times it is the beauty of a song or a work of art that allows us to see into the hearts and minds of artists. Without the pathway to our sometimes unreachable emotions, SL would just be another video game.
Thankfully we have sims like this one to help us listen to the stories in the wind.
Thank you ARCħEŦҰPE11. I can't keep up with your latest name but I will always find a way to keep up with your art. This one poked at one of the hidden places in my heart I keep under lock and key.
For my dear, Monsieur Pistolet : 0)
“Everything in art depends on execution: the story of a louse can be as beautiful as the story of Alexander. You must write according to your feelings, be sure those feelings are true, and let everything else go hang. When a line is good it ceases to belong to any school. A line of prose must be as immutable as a line of poetry.”

WILL YOU STILL LOVE ME TOMORROW – AMY WINEHOUSE
Parrots are very social creatures
full-on colours and pretty features
loving and giving and bringing delight
perched on a branch or in full flight
I study them and think anew
of what we can learn and what we can do
smile at a stranger; give the gift of love
offer a helping hand like an angel above
They make me smile with their funny ways
these Rainbow Lorikeets prefer sunnier days
but they seem happy despite the rain; carefree
they love each other that is plain to see
Male and female are hard to tell apart
both are beautiful and warm my heart
she is on the left and he is on the right
it's easier to tell when they're sitting tight
The female has some yellow that mingles with the red
and the male one has the reddest breast and a squarer head
just then they turned towards me and them I am unsure
but does it really matter as long as they adore
They like to eat pollen and nectar and fruit
the male puffs up his rainbow suit
protecting his mate from the other parrots
so she can digest her food but she does not like carrots
They like apples and pears and grapes and sunflower seeds
some figs and nectar to fulfil their needs
papayas and mangoes opened by a fruit bat
make them smile inside like the Cheshire cat
I stayed with them for quite a long while
getting drenched but with a constant smile
and then sadly it was time to go
what a lovely experience; my dreams overflow.

As they say...winter is coming. Execution by Christmas Lights; Solveig. slurl - maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Solveig/109/163/21
Fort Smith National Historic Site, Arkansas
War and peace. Outlaws and executions. Life-saving food and medical supplies. Justice, and injustice. An abandoned fort, and a thriving hub of life. A waypoint for future Western exploration and settlement, and an end-point for the tragic forced relocation of the Cherokee from the East. Fort Smith has seen it all, and then some.
Founded in 1817 but abandoned after only 7 years, it sprang up again in 1838 and lasted until 1896. As a federal fort, it was one of several end-points for the appalling "Trail of Tears", survived a Civil War battle in 1864, formed a major supply station, and finally became a federal court where many stories and myths of the Old West were made.
Now however, it's almost forgotten history. Thousands of cars and trucks pass by on Highway I-64 within a thousand feet of the fort every day, and never even notice it. Such is American History: so much passion-of-the-moment, followed by complacency, then apathy and abandonment for something else to be passionate about.
Fortunately for those of us who are interested in history, the site has been preserved by the National Park Service. Here in this shot is the Old Fort Smith Commissary, dating from 1845, and on the right as a companion, one of the famed covered wagons that made heading West in the 1800s possible for the Army and entire families looking for a life on the edge of the frontier.

I was rather moved by Kamala Harris concession speech last night. She accepted her loss with dignity and grace. What a difference from the events of 2020.
I recalled the words of Joe Hill the union organiser who said before his execution in Utah in 1915 “ Don't waste time mourning. Organize! “
On the whole with these Scottish posts I have stuck with the chronology of our trip . I will deviate here however as I realised I have not posted an image from Inverness, which is the capital of the Highlands
This is an image of Inverness Cathedral also known as the Cathedral Church of Saint Andrew . In all honesty as cathedrals go this is a fairly ordinary one . This is partly due to his rather young age it was completed in 1869. This makes it a youngster by the standards of British cathedrals .Like many buildings in the area the stone is red in this case it was constructed in Tarradale stone. The setting of the cathedral is however quite attractive being very close to the banks of the River Ness
THANKS FOR YOUR VISIT TO MY STREAM.

The Registan was the heart of the ancient city of Samarkand of the Timurid dynasty, now in Uzbekistan. The name Rēgistan means "Sandy place" or "desert" in Persian.
The Registan was a public square, where people gathered to hear royal proclamations, heralded by blasts on enormous copper pipes called dzharchis - and a place of public executions. It is framed by three madrasahs (Islamic schools) of distinctive Islamic architecture.
The three madrasahs of the Registan are: the Ulugh Beg Madrasah (1417–1420), the Tilya-Kori Madrasah (1646–1660) and the Sher-Dor Madrasah (1619–1636). Madrasah is an Arabic term meaning school.

The Old Idaho Penitentiary opened its doors in 1872 to some of the West’s most desperate criminals. Today, visitors can experience over 100 years of Idaho’s unique prison history with a visit to Solitary Confinement, cell blocks, and the Gallows.
The site features thirty historic buildings and special exhibitions including the J. Curtis Earl Memorial Exhibit of Arms and Armaments. Events and programs provide families, school groups, and visitors an opportunity to relive the Old Pen's exciting past of daring escapes, scandals and executions.
This is a simple, classic still life, of course... It has been set in a hearth, sporting a copper pot courtesy of my mother-in-law Antonia, and a firedog in the background. And it should be tasted listening to this cheery execution of the two Quodlibet by Bach (the so-called Wedding quodlibet BWV 524, followed by the 30th variation ending the Goldberg variations BWV 988 - starting at 10 min 16'').
As for the quodlibet (Latin word for "whatever you wish"), it was a common practice to mix different tunes - most often from folk songs - into one.
It should be noted that according to Forkel, Bach's earliest biographer, quodlibets were a custom observed at Bach family reunions: "they then sang popular songs partly of comic and also partly of indecent content, all mixed together on the spur of the moment. (…) This kind of improvised harmonizing they called a Quodlibet, and not only could laugh over it quite whole-heartedly themselves, but also aroused just as hearty and irresistible laughter in all who heard them."
So quodlibets are endowed with the rich scent and the good humour of familiar, everyday life. Hope that you will enjoy both the picture and the music. Wish you all a good wekend.
Just allow me a concluding linguistic afterthought. For the vast majority of you who do not know Italian, I must say that I love the English phrase "still life" - for in Italian this kind of subject is called a natura morta (i.e. dead nature, dead things). I like much better "still life", which entails the idea that the portrayed things may not be so dead - just temporarily removed from the flux of the life of the world to perform a lasting performance which will render them durable :-)
This Animated line is a labor or fragile love. Great concept, but terrible, terrible execution. The plastic they used so far has been garbage. If you get'em, handle only with care.
The Rose passage in Łódź. It looks really original when you are there :)
The author of the project is Joanna Rajkowska. The Rose Passage is an exceptional and personal project which is linked to the illness of her daughter, Rose. The execution of the project was very labor-intensive as it consisted in gluing small pieces of mirrors on the walls of the tenement house at 3 Piotrkowska St. All the walls of the backyard have been covered in the pieces of mirror. The light-reflecting mosaic gives life to the surroundings, whereas the pieces of mirror create images which are seemingly unadjusted to each other and deformed. However, it is just an illusion which is the result of broken mirrors symbolizing the sick retina of the eye. It is up to the passers-by to try and piece the reality back together. This is symbolic of the reconstruction of Rose’s retina after chemotherapy. After her illness, the girl has partial vision and it is possible that her perception of reality consists in piecing together the fragments of the whole image.

Pasaż Róży w Łodzi (koniecznie oglądajcie zdjęcie w powiększeniu). Miejsce naprawdę oryginalne :)
Autorką projektu jest artystka Joanna Rajkowska. Pasaż Róży to wyjątkowa i osobista realizacja, która nawiązuje do choroby córki artystki - Róży. Realizacja projektu była bardzo pracochłonna, polegała na wyklejeniu kawałkami pociętych na małe części luster ścian kamienicy przy ul. Piotrkowskiej 3. Wszystkie ściany w podwórzu kamienicy zostały pokryte kawałkami luster. Odbijająca światło mozaika ożywia otoczenie, a fragmenty luster dają z pozoru obrazy niedopasowane do siebie i zniekształcone. Jednak będzie to tylko złudzenie, które wynika z rozbicia luster, symbolizujących chorą siatkówkę oka. To do przechodniów należy podjęcie wysiłku złożenia fragmentów rzeczywistości na nowo. Działania te, to symboliczne gesty nawiązujące do odbudowy siatkówki oka Róży po chemioterapii. Dziewczyna po chorobie widzi szczątkowo, możliwe, że jej sposób percepcji rzeczywistości polega również na scalaniu w całość fragmentów jednego obrazu.
Execution Rocks Light is a lighthouse in the middle of Long Island Sound on the border between New Rochelle and Sands Point, New York. It stands 55 feet tall, with a white light flashing every 10 seconds
Excerpt from mcmichael.com:
Pauta Saila (1916 – 2009), Polar Bear, 1967
Limestone, Gift of City of Toronto
Having carved numerous Arctic animal forms, the artist chose to focus on the bear as his primary subject. His approach emphasizes the mass of the form while maintaining sensitivity to detail in describing movement which illustrates the animal’s hunt for food. With his mastery of execution and simplification of forms, Pauta Saila conveys a sense of the presence of the creatures as well as the drama that is being enacted in nature.

This image is an experiment – the execution of a “what if?” moment I had, trying to connect different versions of a flower together. What if I photographed a blossom in ultraviolet reflectance AND ultraviolet fluorescence and somehow try to merge them together?
Ultraviolet fluoresce work is something I am no stranger to, and I wrote an extensive chapter on how you can explore it with nothing more than a special flashlight (skycrystals.ca/product/pre-order-macro-photography-the-un... ). Effectively, ultraviolet light gets translated into visible light by virtue of fluorescence, so you only need a dark room to make many plants, insects and minerals appear to “glow”. In this instance, the subject is a strawberry blossom – a small white flower surrounded by green leaves.
Ultraviolet reflectance, on the other hand, is much trickier. This is the direct observation of ultraviolet light, which can reveal interesting patterns in flowers or simply offer up an entirely different perspective. This is achieved with some special equipment; first, you’d need a camera modified for “full spectrum” photography where the filters that block ultraviolet and infrared light are removed from the front of the sensor, allowing the camera to see beyond the limitations of human vision. I had a Lumix S1 converted for this purpose. (The fluorescence image was taken with my unmodified Lumix S1R.)
You’ll then need to limit the light to exclusively the UV spectrum. This is done with expensive filters, the best combination is an XNite 330C and XNite BP1 used together (bought here: maxmax.com/shopper ). You’ll then need a lens with good UV transmission. Generally speaking, older simple optics do a better job at this than modern complex lenses. Some specialized lenses were designed using quartz for the optics which has a much higher UV transmission than normal glass. The lens I used for this image is the Nikon Rayfact 105mm F/4.5 UV lens, which is nearly identical to the old UV-Nikkor 105mm lens, just a new production run.
The same strawberry blossom took on a “black velvet” type of look, which was nice – but it all felt a little flat. The fluorescing image, on the other hand, had an interesting center but the leaves were quite vibrant and distracting. Merging these two views together became the goal – the best of both worlds.
This is not a view of our reality, but reality is subjective. We could never see the worlds of ultraviolet – either form – without human invention. No creature in the world can see fluorescence in nature, since the light source would be required to be exclusively UV. So, what is this creation? Just the musings of a photographer who enjoys weaving art and science together into a fabric of reality that otherwise would not exist.

King Bart the Odiferous was royally upset that his well-planned wedding was so terribly interrupted. But there was a bright side to his misfortunes. In the pandemonium of the ruined ceremony, his soldiers had managed to capture a single forester outlaw! What luck! King Bart's favorite pastime was watching the executions, and he certainly wasn't going to miss this one. Unfortunately for the king, the rascally foresters don't take too kindly to their comrades being beheaded, and it seems as if they are about to foil his majesty's well-laid plans once again...
Ryan was kind enough to send Steven and I some of his new Executioner pieces, so obviously we had to build a cool scene with em! ;)
THFAVAGD!
Garfield has had a stay of execution. On the day before I was due to put him to sleep, I had a visit from his owner down the street. He advised me that it would mean a lot to his children to keep the cat alive. After speaking to my wife about the situation, we have now decided to keep Garfield and give him the medical attention and care that he badly needs. I will be getting him de-sexed in the next week or two to try and stop him getting into fights and then get him some other medical attention. 2:32pm, Sunday the 2nd of September, 2018.

The interior of a rare cello by English luthier Lockey Hill, completed shortly before his execution for horse theft in 1795. In this photo we can see the tool marks of the original maker, as well as new wood and repairs carried out through the centuries. Shot with a Lumix S1R and a Laowa Probe lens, 432 images at various focal distances have been stacked together to give a cavernous feel, as if the cello has become its own recital hall. Photographed whilst under restoration at the String Instrument Company, New Zealand.
