View on the watchtower on island Texel.

Texel is a municipality and an island in the province of North Holland (situated north of Den Helder) in the Netherlands. It is the largest and most populated island of the West Frisian Islands in the Wadden Sea.

 

The moment I saw this (I had been walking on the beach for some hours), it reminded me immediately of the song "All Along The Watchtower", lyrics by Bob Dylan and performed by Jimi Hendrix. Enjoy ;-))

  

ALL ALONG THE WATCHTOWER

There must be some kind of way outta here

Said the joker to the thief

There's too much confusion

I can't get no relief

 

Business men, they drink my wine

Plowman dig my earth

None were level on the mind

Nobody up at his word

Hey, hey

 

No reason to get excited

The thief he kindly spoke

There are many here among us

Who feel that life is but a joke

But, uh, but you and I, we've been through that

And this is not our fate

So let us stop talkin' falsely now

The hour's getting late, hey

 

All along the watchtower

Princes kept the view

While all the women came and went

Barefoot servants, too

Outside in the cold distance

A wildcat did growl

Two riders were approaching

And the wind began to howl

 

This mural is from East Vancouver where Hendrix (from Seattle) spent some time with his grandmother. He often came for visit and play on the streets in this neighbourhood. This 2007 mural was painted by artists Nelson 'Dedos' Garcia and Xochitl. Hendrix's Grandma Zenora Hendrix (also on the mural), who worked as a cook at a Vie’s chicken and steak house in Hogan’s Alley. Jimi Hendrix died at the age of 27. Senior Citizen sounds strange, but this year would be his 80th birthday (born 27. November, 1942). In Vancouver there is even a shrine to Hendrix.

"There must be some kind of way out of here,"

Said the joker to the thief,

"There's too much confusion.

I can't get no relief."

#Handle

Size of the frame: 5 cm / 1,9 inches

 

"There must be some kind of way outta here, said the handle to the sieve. There's too much mechanical stress, I can't get no relief..."

 

This, or something like that, could have been the conversation between my small strainer and its handle before they decided to part for good while I was draining chickpeas the other day ;-) While the sieve part of the strainer now enjoys some time off in the cupboard, where it patiently waits for some more unconventional sieving jobs, the handle enjoys its newly found freedom as part-time photomodel, pliers, clamp, hook - so many possibilities ;-) What you see in my photo is that part of the handle that had been spot-welded to the sieve. Half of the background is, you've guessed it, the sieve, and if you look closely, you can see the dents of the spot welding on the strainer's metal frame (the backside of it) right underneath the handle. I used a transparent red plastic box (it once contained chocolates) as a photo filter for my LED lamps to get some reddish light. The final image is composed of 5 photos, stacked in Helicon Focus, and processed in LR and Luminar 4.

 

For the fun of it, here are YouTube links both to Bob Dylan's 1967 original version of the song I borrowed (and modified) the first line of the lyrics from, and to Jimi Hendrix' iconic 1968 version of it:

A Happy Macro Monday, Everyone!

 

Es war einmal ein Sieb...

 

...das zufrieden und glücklich in meiner Küche Abtropfarbeiten verrichtete, bis der Griff eines Tages Freiheitsgelüste verspürte und beschloss, sich für immer von ihm zu trennen. Das Sieb selbst genießt nun eine Auszeit im Schrank, während der Griff schon neue Betätigungsfelder u.a. als Teilzeit-Fotomodell erprobt :-) Im Bild zu sehen ist der Teil des Griffs, der mit dem Sieb lange Jahre auf's Engste punktverschweißt war, bis diese typische Sollbruchstelle meinte, sich in Erinnerung bringen zu müssen. Natürlich ist hier im Hintergrund auch das Sieb selbst zu sehen, zumindest ein kleiner Teil davon, und wenn Ihr genau hinschaut, könnt Ihr unterhalb des Griffs die Dellen der Punktschweißung auf der Rückseite des Metallrahmens des Siebs erkennen. Um das rötliche Licht zu erzeugen, habe ich Unter- und Oberteil einer transparenten, rotgefärbten Plastikbox (die einst beliebte Kirschpralinen enthielt) an meine LED-Strahler gehängt. Technisch ist das Ganze ein Fokus-Stack aus 5 Bildern, zusammengefügt in Helicon Focus (das ich gerade ausprobiere) und entwickelt in LR und Luminar 4.

 

Ich wünsche Euch eine schöne Mai-Woche, liebe Flickr-Freunde!

"You're just like crosstown traffic

So hard to get through to you

Crosstown traffic

I don't need to run over you

Crosstown traffic

All you do is slow me down

And I'm tryin' to get on the other side of town"

In questo graffito il copricapo maschile e la colorazione con tonalità marine potrebbero essere ipotetiche simbologie della cultura locale e invece è il ritratto di Jimi Hendrix.

Come mai proprio a Essaouira? Perché è un luogo dalla lunga tradizione hippie.

La musica è uno dei più vivaci trait d'union tra queste diverse culture: negli anni Sessanta la città divenne uno dei luoghi preferiti dagli hippie di tutto il mondo, che si innamorarono dell'atmosfera, del clima e di alcune usanze tradizionali, in particolari quelle legate alla musica gnawa, tramandata dai discendente dagli schiavi neri subsahariani. Lo Gnawa – di cui qui ogni anno, a giugno, si celebra la rassegna più importante in assoluto - attirò qui una serie impressionante di artisti: Frank Zappa, Cat Stevens, Leonard Cohen, Bob Marley e sopratutto Jimi Hendrix, che arrivò ad Essaouira nel 1969 innamorandosene al punto tanto da dedicare una canzone, 'Castle Made of Sands', alle rovine del palazzo di un antico sultano che affioravano tra le dune di Diabat, un villaggio poco fuori città.

Questi suoni tradizionali, miscelatati con ritmi africani, maghrebini ed elettronici, oggi continuano ad attirare l'interesse di artisti di tutto il mondo, molti dei quali sono presenti nella line up del Moga Festival, rassegna di arti digitali e d'avanguardia. Ultimo realizzato nel settembre 2022 e nato nel 2016.

I could not resist playing with the lyrics of Jimi Hendrix's song, "Red House" for this image. Found in an alley in downtown Seattle.
