The outlet stream from Eagle Lake flows through the shade of the forest creating this reflection in the afternoon light.
Shot this summer. This is a fountain outside the national theatre in Oslo, Norway.

Due to a persistent upper level low pressure system in the West, we have had an uninterrupted moisture flow over the Sawatch Range for at least a week. It has brought significant rain to the valley and some snow above 10,000 feet.

winter solstice . deep bass notes . dark sacred night . dark of the moon
purest stillness . falling snow . ancient awe . stars aglow
sacred gifts to gather our peace
peace all around us
peace within us
every breath, a prayer for peace
every breath, a prayer of gratitude
shhhh ... find the still place within
tonight we may dream of faraway drumbeats
in the morning we will know a secret
it was mother nature's wakening heartbeat
the sound of light returning
so we take this peace
gathered in the stillness of winter solstice
and spread it like seeds in the warming ground

lovelight to You*

In the past years I often tried to express the etherial, energetic world that animates the visible nature, but now - just by playing - I surprised myself with drawing this flowering structures. Drawing, charcoal, pencil, watercolor on paper Steinbach 240 gr. 100x70 cm. May 2014.
A tessellation derived from my other model, Woven Rhombi. 4×4 grid units per molecule, or 8×8 if you want to consider a complete hexagonal tile a molecule.
Flow Tessellation is iso-area: when you look at the back side, you see exactly the same pattern, rotated 90 degrees. Due to the arrangement of paper layers, I had to resolve to wet folding to make the model flat and to prevent the layers from unfolding.
This was the first time I folded Biotope paper and I admit I liked it very much. It is thinner than Tant which makes it better suited for models with many layers or a complex layer arrangement like this one. At the same time the paper felt strong enough even for models with lots of precreasing. To the feel, it is softer than many paper I use, but still not too soft as are many handmade papers which look beautiful but are hard to make precise geometric folds with. It’s probably too thin for corrugations, but for most tessellations I think it will behave just as well as it did for this one.
The shallow gravel scrapes on Greenham Common are often waterlogged and over the last few days have been frozen. I spent a pleasant morning wandering round the Common collecting a few images that rounded off the year nicely.
