These beautiful fields of Appar Blue Flax were grown in Eastern Washington. I have used a shot of them in the past for a Sliders Sunday Group composite image. See here flic.kr/p/2mk4YMn
It is an indeterminate plant. The flowers you see one morning fall off that day, and a new set of flowers come the next day. The seed is processed and the Bureau of Land Management and other State agencies use the seed for conservation programs or to restore rangeland after a wildfire. Flax is also used in a lot of mining and roadside mitigation projects. HSoS!

El templo actual es el heredero de un cenobio nacido en el siglo IX (año 850) y que siglos más tarde pasó a depender del Monasterio de Oña, convirtiéndose en priorato.
La actual iglesia románica se erigió en algún momento indeterminado de la primera mitad del siglo XII.
El edificio sorprende por su esbeltez y airosidad, no sólo por la torre que se yergue vertical sobre el primer tramo de la nave, sino también por la altura del propio cuerpo de la iglesia en relación a su anchura. San Pedro de Tejada es la prueba de que el románico no es una arquitectura achaparrada en absoluto.
The current temple is the heir to a monastery born in the 9th century (year 850) and that centuries later became dependent on the Monastery of Oña, becoming a priory.
The current Romanesque church was erected at some indeterminate time in the first half of the 12th century.
The building is surprising for its slenderness and airiness, not only because of the tower that rises vertically over the first section of the nave, but also because of the height of the body of the church itself in relation to its width. San Pedro de Tejada is the proof that Romanesque architecture is not squat at all.
I mean, seriously? According to any shamanic tradition, reality falls into one of three "categories": the known, the unknown and the unknowable. If we resort to the classical metaphor of the funnel, the known would occupy a tiny fraction of the lower end; the unknown, the rest of the funnel, and the unknowable a huge but indeterminate (infinite?) portion of the surrounding space. You don't need to be a rocket scientist to understand that deciphering the ultimate cause of LIFE ITSELF it's the kind of knowledge found in the ridiculously, incomprehensibly ENORMOUS third category. I mean, come on, how can anyone think one can ever reach such wisdom armed with nothing more than algorithms!

#macromondays #curves
The curve, also in mathematics called a curved line in theoretical and applied mathematics texts is the mathematical object similar or different to the axial straight plane lines, the curved line is not a straight line but may be a function, or the curved line may be part of a non straight plane (nonrectangular object), or part of a sphere or spherical object, or a curved plane, etc., and there too is different to straight lines that are part of straight planes but for some functions may be projected to a straight plane into straight planes.
A plane algebraic curve is the zero set of a polynomial in two indeterminates. More generally, an algebraic curve is the zero set of a finite set of polynomials, which satisfies the further condition of being an algebraic variety of dimension one. If the coefficients of the polynomials belong to a field k, the curve is said to be defined over k. In the common case of a real algebraic curve, where k is the field of real numbers, an algebraic curve is a finite union of topological curves. When complex zeros are considered, one has a complex algebraic curve, which, from the topological point of view, is not a curve, but a surface, and is often called a Riemann surface. Although not being curves in the common sense, algebraic curves defined over other fields have been widely studied. In particular, algebraic curves over a finite field are widely used in modern cryptography.

I am not all that sure, being that I know very little about farming, but I think it is a corn crib. If not, it is one heck of a drafty barn. Plus, the animals would have to figure out how to climb up to get in ... and for what ... no shelter and grain blowing out through the slats?

The hymenopteran family Platygastridae (sometimes incorrectly spelled Platygasteridae) is a large group (over 4000 species) of exclusively parasitoid wasps, mostly very small (1–2 mm), black, and shining, with geniculate (elbowed) antennae that have an eight-segmented flagellum. The wings sometimes lack venation, though they may have slight fringes of setae.
The traditional subfamilies are the Platygastrinae and the Sceliotrachelinae. The former subfamily includes some 40 genera, all of which are koinobionts on cecidomyiid flies; the wasp oviposits in the host's egg or early instar larva, and the wasp larva completes development when the host reaches the prepupal or pupal stage. The latter subfamily is much smaller, including some 20 genera, and they typically have the rudiments of a vein in the forewings. They are generally idiobionts, attacking the eggs of either beetles or Hemiptera.
The former family Scelionidae is now considered to be another subfamily of Platygastridae, along with the subfamilies Teleasinae and Telenominae. The oldest known record of the group is an indeterminate specimen from the Burmese amber.

Lake George, Adirondacks, NY.
There's often not much room to see anything on the lake's shores, other than the opposite side, because of the way the forest crowds the shoreline. But a little scene unfolded while I explored, shooting up the water and including this near shore. The atmosphere lent a hand, removing the distance and distraction. With a little drama, the image became more intimate, animating the snag that appears to be reaching for meaning in that sky, while the nearer trees seem to reach for the wayward son. Behind the backdrop, even the reach of the lake is indeterminate. In this dimension, it is hard to tell the feel--anger in an approaching storm, the sadness of a dreary day, or maybe the hope of a sunrise? I'll let you reach your own conclusions. Things are not always as they seem.
Shot inside the great inner courtyard of The National Gallery of Canada, in Ottawa, June of 2015. With apologies to Architect, Moshe Safdie. The complex structure of beams, panels and panes with the indeterminate geometries of the sky behind them was a perfect setup for a good "tumbling".
The "sabotage" of the right angles and strict triangles of Architect Moshe Sadie's giant atrium is meant to convey, by metaphor, the undoing of the 'strictness' of Sir Isaac Newton's "mechanistic, impersonal, purposeless universe", a view that has cut us off from an integrated and participatory relationship with existence.
Quantum science is undoing this view as it increasingly discovers and accepts that there seems to be a grand sense of order and design to the universe, right down to the source of quanta themselves. Indeed, "God does not play dice with the universe". The more the Quantum paradigm becomes understood and the more that understanding infuses out into everyday culture the closer we get to leaving a heartless, mindless, machinelike universe behind us.

“There is one more thing: I may be interested in Oriental religions, etc. , but there can be no obscuring the essential difference—this personal communion with Christ at the center and heart of all reality, as a source of grace and life. “God is love” may perhaps be clarified if one says that “God is void” and if, in the void, one finds absolute indetermination and hence absolute freedom. (With freedom, the void becomes fullness and 0 = infinity.) All that is “interesting,” but none of it touches on the mystery of personality in God, and His personal love for me. Again, I am void too, and I have freedom, or am a kind of freedom, meaningless unless oriented to Him.”

My eyes are white circles
above cheekbones on fire:
Pale hand gripping my pen.
Rounding up to the zero,
adding infinite fractions,
Letting nine become ten.
Two pink doves strut the shingles
Picking crumbs from the breakfast I saved
For you dear. and I wish you were here
On this postcard day.
Focus on the fine
indeterminate line
Where the sky meets the sea.
Desperate midweek words,
banal and absurd
Freely flow out of me.
Well, I may be a hostage to summer
But I'm a hostage, not a slave.
And I'm clear that I wish you were here
On this postcard day.
Precious cargo of flotsam:
mixed memories on an ocean tide
Swim madly with spice from the orient
On a mystery watery carpet ride.
But with the sun going down,
the wind goes around;
Blows them back out of mind.
My eyes are white circles
staring down past the point
Of my restless pen.
While the ghosts of my youth
all sworn to the truth
Call my name again.
Two brown legs don't make a summer.
But two brown arms couldn't keep me away.
Well, my dear, I wish you were here
On this postcard day.

The artistic reputation of Léon Spilliaert (1881-1946) has increased considerably in recent years. Not helped or hindered (cross out what is desired) by academic training, he developed a unique style in which he balances painting and drawing. The fact that he paints with Indian ink is already challenging, the subtle addition of colored pencil is completely unusual.
Spilliaert's depictions are highly symbolic (see also previous post in this stream). In a late ink painting like 'Firebreak between the firs' the year is important to understand the scope. In 1944, the last year of the Second World War, Hitler's defeat was already looming, but the end was bitter. Hunger, cold and the death of hundreds of thousands of soldiers preceded peace.
This exhibition in The Hague builds a bridge between Léon Spilliaert and Dirk Braeckman, who never knew each other. What is that bridge? “That is visualizing what you cannot see,” says curator Thijs de Raedt. “Both are nocturnal animals that intuitively head for the magic of deep black.”
The fact that we now see similarities between the two artists also has to do with the revaluation of symbolism and Spilliaert in particular. In the 1970s, there was a renewed sensitivity to indeterminate and uncanny places. In Belgium, a victim of two World Wars, people are perhaps more receptive to that than elsewhere.

Maggy Moulach-Deadmore
On Tuesday- the respected Deadmore family of this parish, hereby bestowed upon a trusted servant, the title of Madame Moulach-Deadmore. This was to honour their valiant and discrete service.
Her likeness has been painted by renowned artist- J.T. Peregrin and is currently on display at the Deadmore residence. Describing this painting, Madame Maggy Moulach-Deadmore is said to be of indeterminate age; about 3 feet and 9 inches high; has elongated and pointed fingers; when talking tends to stare intensely with silver eyes; and her walking style is more aptly described as floating.
Members of the public are invited to attend the Deadmore residence in order to view said painting between the hours of 8 pm and 10 pm each evening. Please do not approach Madame Maggy Moulach-Deadmore without the proper introductions being made by another family member.

There are yellow, orange, and red varieties of this tomato; the yellow variety being most common. They are generally sweet :)
A rare summer outing for me in the Luss Hills.
This arresting moment couldn't be ignored. In fact it had me spellbound for an indeterminate length of time - as the featured sinister bank of cloud encroached onto the Cobbler's iconic skyline, seemingly trying to suffocate it in the process.
I often marvel at just how localised weather can be in hill / mountain country.
Many a higher protuberance remained totally free of any 'cloud attack' that morning, whilst a number of lower hills succumbed to various clumps floating around. Local wind gusts combined with varying levels of humidity obviously conspire to confound simpletons like myself!
Serapias vomeracea (Orchidaceae) 144 24
This is one of the commoner members of a relatively small genus whose name refers to the ploughshare shape of its lip. Serapias vomeracea is easily the largest of the genera and on occasion can reach a height of 60cms, with up to 12 individual flowers arranged along a lax inflorescence, colour varying from yellow/orange to deep mahogany red.
It has a wide distribution ranging from the lower Alps of Switzerland down to the Mediterranean and Cyprus in the east, where although it can be abundant.,
Unfortunately identification is seldom straightforward and interbreeding with S. bergonii and indeed other Serapias species has in many places produced large hybrid swarms of indeterminate parentage.

Chachalacas are galliform birds from the genus Ortalis. These birds are found in wooded habitats in the far southern United States (Texas),[1][2] Mexico, and Central and South America. They are social, can be very noisy and often remain fairly common even near humans, as their relatively small size makes them less desirable to hunters than their larger relatives. As agricultural pests, they have a ravenous appetite for tomatoes, melons, beans, and radishes and can ravage a small garden in short order. They travel in packs of six to twelve.[3] They somewhat resemble the guans, and the two have commonly been placed in a subfamily together, though the chachalacas are probably closer to the curassows.[4]
The generic name is derived from the Greek word όρταλις, meaning "pullet"[5] or "domestic hen."[6] The common name derives from the Nahuatl verb chachalaca, meaning "to chatter." With a glottal stop at the end, chachalacah was an alternate name for the bird known as the chachalahtli. All these words likely arose as an onomatopoeia for the four-noted cackle of the plain chachalaca (O. vetula).[7]
Mitochondrial and nuclear DNA sequence data tentatively suggest that the chachalacas emerged as a distinct lineage during the Oligocene, somewhere around 40–20 mya, possibly being the first lineage of modern cracids to evolve; this does agree with the known fossil record – including indeterminate, cracid-like birds – which very cautiously favors a north-to-south expansion of the family.[
One evening I returned suddenly to mind the words of Einstein: It is the theory to decide what we can observe. (Heisemberg).

I initially identified this bird as a female, but due to the rather intense chestnut colours on the wings, I now believe its an immature Golden Whistler of indeterminate sex.

A birthday image ( March 10 ) created for XandraM of the "Shock of the New/Award Tree/ Max Fudge" association of Groups.
I started with two very divergent Pano images, one of The Cathedral of St. John the Divine in New York and one of a mannequin in a store window on Bloor Street in Toronto, and worked from there. All aspects of the completed piece come from these two images. A lot of photo manipulation was done to their variants and layered repeatedly in varying aspects. Both images were originally shot in 2015.
When I was done it struck me that I had created something that had a more 'classical' or 'painterly' feel to it. The image of the 'magically transformed' cathedral ( looking like a castle in the forest ) along with the mannequin and the indeterminate, twisting form in front of it made me think of Jean Cocteau's film "La Belle et la Bete" ( Beauty and the Beast ), from which the Disney film was derived. So I went with the connection to Cocteau in the titling.
While the Cocteau reference and homage are there, this is also a metaphor for the "beauty and the beast" of modern life. What often appears to us as beauty is quite often very much the beast. I chose these two images at 'random', as contrasting elements, but soon realized that there was a definite dialogue between them that had much to say about the sacred and the profane, the spiritual and the material. David Bowie, in his 1977 song, "Beauty and the Beast" expressed this in a very powerful way, closely echoing Hermann Hesse's "Steppenwolf"/"Narziss und Goldmund" theme.

"Pano-Vision" as an approach or an aesthetic is a fluid, malleable and open-ended medium. By it's very nature, set orthodoxies or established methods are called into question and "sabotaged". Ultimate viewpoints are seen as arbitrary and forcefully imputed on to the more complex and often indeterminate nature of reality.
In the PANO-Vision Group artists are invited and encouraged to push the medium as far as they can, incorporating fresh, new and unexpected elements while ensuring that the markers of the medium are still visible.
"Pano-Sabotage" is unique in photographic art in that the distorted or fragmented nature of the image is achieved WITH THE CAMERA, not through post capture manipulation ( e.g. Photoshop etc ). Attempts to mimic the medium in software like Photoshop are always a dead give-away. The "markers" are missing. So Pano-Sabotage is a unique and tell-tale medium.
It's great, 4 years on, to be finding ways to take Pano-Sabotage into new and unexpected places. It's fluid and experimental nature allow for that easily.

The title comes from a line of lyric from a song by Brian Eno and Phil Manzanera called "Miss Shapiro", perhaps the very best of Eno's explorations of glossolalia and similar word play. Early in his career he explored this to extraordinary effect resulting in such classics as "Miss Shapiro", "Backwater", "Kurt's Rejoinder" ( with a snippet of a recording of Dadaist Kurt Schwitters sputtering improvised syllables - an early inspiration for Eno ) and the brilliantly backward "Tzima N'arki" done with Cluster in Germany.

Mittaghorn, Pizzo Gallina and Chilchhorn
The alphorn or alpenhorn or alpine horn is a labrophone, consisting of a wooden natural horn of conical bore, having a wooden cup-shaped mouthpiece, used by mountain dwellers in Switzerland and elsewhere. Similar wooden horns were used for communication in most mountainous regions of Europe, from the French Alps to the Carpathians.
For a long time, scholars believed that the alphorn had been derived from the Roman-Etruscan lituus, because of their resemblance in shape, and because of the word liti, meaning Alphorn in the dialect of Obwalden.[citation needed] There is no documented evidence for this theory, however, and, the word liti was probably borrowed from 16th–18th century writings in Latin, where the word lituus could describe various wind instruments, such as the horn, the crumhorn, or the cornett.[clarification needed] Swiss naturalist Conrad Gesner used the words lituum alpinum for the first known detailed description of the alphorn in his De raris et admirandis herbis in 1555. The oldest known document using the German word Alphorn is a page from a 1527 account book from the former Cistercian abbey St. Urban near Pfaffnau mentioning the payment of two Batzen for an itinerant alphorn player from the Valais.
17th–19th century collections of alpine myths and legends suggest that alphorn-like instruments had frequently been used as signal instruments in village communities since medieval times or earlier, sometimes substituting for the lack of church bells. Surviving artifacts, dating back to as far as ca. AD 1400, include wooden labrophones in their stretched form, like the alphorn, or coiled versions, such as the '"Büchel" and the "Allgäuisches Waldhorn" or "Ackerhorn". The alphorn's exact origins remain indeterminate, and the ubiquity of horn-like signal instruments in valleys throughout Europe may indicate a long history of cross influences regarding their construction and usage.
