note:
Take a deep breath honey, this fall is going to be a hard one.
Earlier this month I flew to Korea and had the pleasure of meeting other artists who won this year's ASEAN KOREA multimedia competition. It's been such an amazing experience and didn't take us very long to become good friends. I'll be posting more about my trip to Seoul Korea on my fb page soon.
Shot at Namsangol Hanok Village, Seoul, South Korea.
p/s: Thank you Allysa & Victor for helping me with this shot. x
My custom Lego minifigures of Mabel and Dipper Pines from The Gravity Falls TV show. I used Citadel and Game Color acrylic paints for painting and plasticine which dries on the air for making the hair.
"gravity works slowly if you notice it at all
some of us are getting mighty lucky
if you had to live with this you'd rather lie than fall
you think i can't fly well you just watch me"

A strange spider is waiting in his web for a prey to come... the web is barely visible... the air is still..

Saturn’s rings display their subtle colors in this view captured on Aug. 22, 2009, by NASA’s Cassini spacecraft. The particles that make up the rings range in size from smaller than a grain of sand to as large as mountains, and are mostly made of water ice. The exact nature of the material responsible for bestowing color on the rings remains a matter of intense debate among scientists.
Images taken using red, green and blue spectral filters were combined to create this natural color view. Cassini's narrow-angle camera took the images at a distance of approximately 1.27 million miles (2.05 million kilometers) from the center of the rings.
The Cassini spacecraft ended its mission on Sept. 15, 2017.

Gravity
The planets in their galaxy,
brightly dotted stars I see.
In a pattern one by one,
revolving fast around the sun.
While the earth is spinning,
I stay firmly on the ground.
Gravity keeps me in place,
as I spin around in space.
A girl I went to junior high with had the most embarrassing mother. Let's call her Mrs. T, just for the heck of it.
Mrs. T staunchly refused to act her age. She wore her daughter's clothes, which were way too tight for her, and did her hair and make-up in what she thought was the "happening" teenage style of the day. This was the 70s so... there she was... prancing around in her bleached blonde curling-iron flippy-do... a sausage of it around her face; lots of brown pancake make-up, simluating tan (this was long before the days of fake'n'bake)... bright blue eyeshadow... sparkly pink lipstick... and, as if that wasn't all enough... (and this is how I know about her)... she came to all our school events, like noon-hour sock hops. Can you believe it? And (are you ready for it?) danced with any teenage boy who'd have her.
When we got a junior boys' hockey team in town, Mrs. T volunteered to put up a few lads. Most lived elsewhere and they all had "billet" arrangements with local folks, so that was pretty ordinary. Except... can you guess? It may have just been rumours, but all those boys said they got a lot more than room and board at Mrs. T's... and there she was, prancing her too-tight pink-tan-and-blue done-upness at all the junior hockey games.
What the hell does that have to do with the picture?
Well, I feel a little bit like Mrs. T today.
No, no... I haven't defiled any young boys. And no, you'll never catch me in blue eyeshadow.
But. I think it may be time for me to act my age. Like gravity, I think it's inevitable.
I tried to get an upsidey-downsey shot today. It's been about 30 years since I last did flips and... well... I wish I hadn't tried today. I have the trampoline for a while yet, but I'm not sure I'll be bouncing any more. I feel like two or three of my vertebrae have... I dunno... changed places or something.
So... here you go. Possibly the last in the series. As usual, not quite what I was shooting for but... what the hell. It's the best I could do today (what with the juggled vertebrae and all).
At least I'm not wearing 12 year olds' jeans or going to sock hops. Things could be worse.
Kellie, Joshua, and Heidi are busy spinning on the Zero Gravity ride in downtown Provo during the 4th of July celebration. Jackson and I watched from the ground hoping to not be sick.

A Blue-winged warbler defies gravity and all laws of avionics and dives after a bug. The blue-winged warbler was one of the many species originally described by Linnaeus in his 18th-century work, Systema Naturae, though the scientific name has changed several times.The species epithet Pinus was given by Linnaeus in 1766 but was a mistake as the original description of the species was actually based on illustrations of "pine creepers" drawn by others. The drawings depicted two different species, what we now call a pine warbler and blue-winged warbler. In 2010 the blue-winged warbler's scientific name was changed by the American Ornithologists Union to correct the error. Pine warblers retained the species name Pinus but the species epithet for blue-winged warbler was changed to cyanoptera.

Sunrise over the northern side of Little Bay, Sydney. What initially looked like a pretty bland sky suddenly generated some lovely light as the sun peaked, and an incoming tide provided some nice water flow over the shelf.

A few days ago I was driving the road I did every day to go to work. At some point I felt a tremendous bang, I did not understand what I could have hit, also because I was sure i had not hurt anything.
I could not stop because the road did not allow it, and when I looked down at the handbrake, I saw a bird that I could not recognize because it was overturned, with her or his paws up. I had a car full of feathers and he or she was recovering from the crash.
As soon as I could approach the car, I realized that a pigeon, probably very young, in his stunts and speed mania, came to slam into my window that was only open a little, fortunately, otherwise, in his speed he could pick me up face and make me lose control of the car.
I always keep the passenger window open all the time, because I like the air that comes in and does not bother me. That day it was not all open and I thought my guardian angel was closing it :)
Well, anyway, we're both good, I did not take long to let go out
that poor pigeon, he was shocked, making sure he was fine, putting him in the field, giving him two caresses to his head, he still did not fly, but he had nothing broken.
My car was as when breaking a pillow, it seemed to be on a cloud : ).....So I thought that in the midst of those feathers, there could also be those of my Guardian Angel : )
PS also my tag shows "animal", Alan and Jane! : ))

There are two options getting to / coming back from the summit of Huashan, one of the Five Great Mountains of China and one true to its reputation as the "most precipitous mountain under heaven".
The first one would be a cable car, from which that picture was taken.
Why would that picture be taken from there you might ask?
Well, that's pretty simple : the second way to reach Hua Shan's summit is up this path called the Soldier's Path, here on display, that's is supposed to go on for hours of doing nothing else but climbing some infinite stairs.
Also, I remember playing a drinking game on local beer the night before getting here, turning that day into a looooong struggle without money, water or food, due to the fact that I forgot all that being woken up at the very last moment before taking the bus.
So all I had was a headache.
Which was, in the end, enough to ride the cable car.

Even rain drops get to fight stretch marks. Although their endings are a bit different than some. If you look closely, you can see the white handrail into the back of the house.
During my last session, all of a sudden, gravity started to behave in a very weird way. Must have been some kind of anomaly?! But look for yourselves...
