Dear Diary:

 

The rest of that first – no, second, I suppose - afternoon was a whirlwind of shopping, all for the most scandalous things, with quite a few breaks to desecrate various dressing rooms with our passion.

 

Eventually ,she led me onto an elevated train -which ran smoothly and silently around the city – and thence to my new home!

 

It is modest in size, though quite a lot for a single person – but its walls are glass, its view breathtaking. And *mine!*

 

We spent the evening looking at catalogs – on another of those panes of glass- and Cy helped me order a full suite of furniture, which was delivered within minutes by mechanicals, both flying and walking, who set everything up.

 

The levitating bed was tested *most* thoroughly.

 

Ahem.

 

Cy was on leave from her club to help me “acclimatize,” so we spent the next few days exploring the city. I was curious as to where her club was: she explained it was in a somewhat colorful part of town, and that she thought it best I spend a few days in the relative peace and simplicity of my neighborhood, Port Gynoid, and downtown in the Tripsa Towers district. We did venture into another venue for dancing – astonishingly, the Dreadnought!

 

It was the Dreadnought! The logograph was virtually the same! Cy explained that the venue dated back centuries, often moving and changing form, but keeping its identity the same. I gathered she grudgingly respected it, while considering her own venue quite superior.

 

This led into a long discourse on styles of music I had no reference for, but then veered into the respective fashions of the two establishments, and I was fascinated. I begged to see it!

 

Eventually she relented, and we crossed town over to ARGENT (yes, entirely capitalized: uncouth variants of typography are quite in style here), a large building of strange geometry some two stories high.

 

Even in midafternoon it was lively, with dancers out on the floor and people lounging around the sides. It felt much more like the Dreadnought I knew than the open-aired space that now bore its name.

 

Cy, of course, knew everyone, and breezed me through the club, making introductions right and left.

 

She led me out onto the dance floor. Not even our exertions in my levitating bed prepared me for the way she danced, and I understood how she was so strong and lithe.

 

I fear I had another snot-drenched breakdown, there in public.

 

Again, strong arms, gentle words, and a ride home in an automated cab.

 

The next day I began a regimen of physical training.

All the written information and some superb details in these pictures bring the village of Skara Brae to life in our modern era through the excavations of 1850 and onwards, 1928-1931 and the 1970s. From 1850 the dwellings and significant finds have been opened up. In the picture captioned, “Director of excavations at Skara Brae, Gordon Childe, emerges from a trench...” there looks to be a Kodak Brownie Box Camera to the right of the picture. The Brownie produced square pictures at two and a quarter inch size on No. 117 Roll Film. Brownie’s and other 117 Roll Film Cameras although some are made out of cardboard designed for limited use they can still produce good images today with some slight adjustments.

 

Skara Brae on Orkney is prehistoric gem. Semi-Subterranean houses and workshops make up the site as it stands today. It is an impressive site much visited and intricately studied as it offers to reveal how prehistoric people lived. The site is said to be built into the community midden, or rubbish dump. The soft midden can be shaped and moulded with stones fitting in the voids to make a very safe stable environment for living and working in. Skara Brae is vaunted as the most complete Neolithic Village in Europe. House 5 as labelled in this picture has had a drain and still shows stone furnishings looking like lithic versions of kitchen dressers, a central hearth and a window too. This once inland village is now perilously close to the sea and needs sea defences to maintain the structure from destruction by wind and sea. It was rediscovered in 1850 after a storm uncovered part of the structure.

Monte Catequilla (in the middle of the picture) is translated from Quechua to mean "follower of the moon". Its construction, circa 800 AD, is attributed to the Quitu-Cara culture. The site consists of a semicircular wall, 107 metres (351 ft) in length with a diameter of 68 metres (223 ft), although no clear architectural features accurately show the exact positions of its ends. It leans toward the east end south sides with at an azimuth of 113 degrees, and declines on the western end to the north side, with an azimuth of 293 degrees. The wall height varies between 25 centimetres (9.8 in) and 1.2 metres (3 ft 11 in), but based on the broken material beside it, the wall could have been more than 2 metres (6 ft 7 in) high. In the northwest of the site, there is a lithic disk (a circular stone-filled platform) 8 metres (26 ft) in diameter, consisting mainly of stone masonry. It has three lines of stones. Situated on a hill, there was a water source at the site at one time.

 

Along with the stone-filled circles of Jarata and Pacpo to the south, it forms a straight line along which the shade from the mountains falls during the June solstice. While many of the indigenous people today believe that the purpose of these circles was to provide a solid flat surface for the threshing of wheat and other cereals, several astronomic and geodetic alignments have been detected, questioning the validity of this theory. After several archaeological excavations by Oswaldo Tovar, many ceramics were unearthed from Incan and colonial times. Though the site is virtually abandoned, nearby mining operations in the area could jeopardize its integrity. Even so, the government has taken no action.[6] As it is located on the equator, it is said to be in the "Middle of the World". As of 2011, it is said to be "the only important pre-Inca site in Ecuador to have been commercially exploited."

 

The Inca pucara (stone fortress) of Rumicucho is located about 1,550 metres (5,090 ft) north of Catequilla.

These pictures from 2024 were taken on one of my best days. The Witches' Stone just at the edge of the village of Spott is a good memorial of bad times and deeds. The Witches’ Stone always fills me with commemoration and remembrance of times not so long gone when Witch Hunts were after witches so upsettingly so that we still use the term Witch Hunt now more than ever for a falsely fuelled over active hunt often with vicious entanglements and outcomes.

 

The Witches’ Stone is on the East of Spott village and Easter Broomhouse Standing Stone is at the West of the village. In the village at the Church you can find The Jougs. From standing stone in the East past central stone church to a commemorative stone in the West there are three superb historic lithic sites. The Church has been a focal site to inspire and to contain history of the area and along with local archives there are some superb historic collections, myriad connections, and local recollections.

 

There are three tall Standing Stones near Spott, Easter Broomhouse, Pencraig Hill and Kirklandhill Standing Stones. Their placement in the landscape of natural bounties and hill forts is a key to some of the smaller monuments, This coastal area is full of life from the sea and the land and the stones stretch into the sky that keeps the seas calm and the lands fertile.

A laugh in the night, a clicking of hooves, and suddenly you are face to face with a red monster with a matching glowing eye. Two black curved horns adorn her head, which shine in the street lights. The creature treads forward, smirking, and you ponder if someone with one eye can wink because you swear she just did. Her lithe tail flicks playfully, the creature’s eye still affixed on you. You wonder if she is a demon of the night or just has a really bad sunburn.

Cranach made numerous paintings on this subject: some depict Venus with her son, the mischievous Cupid, bow and arrow in hand; others warn of perils of bittersweet love. Here, the goddess is alone, holding us in her gaze. As if mocking at modesty, the jewellery and thin veil only emphasize her nudity. Her lithe, slightly swaying stance and elongated proportions offer an idea of beauty different from contemporary Italian art. Cranach’s many Venuses have become emblems of the German Renaissance.

On the cusp of night, with the sun fallen behind the western peaks, a few hints of warmer light remain among darkening hues on the lithe, sinuous dune forms at Mesquite Dunes, Death Valley National Park, California.

 

It was an amazing evening on the dunes. Josh, Sky and I hiked out under bluebird skies through the strange arrowweed clumps in the Devil's Cornfield. Reaching the dunes, we wandered a while before settling in more as sunset drew closer. It was calm and almost soundless. Perfect mental recharge conditions before we had to head home and back to the workaday world.

 

Then, abruptly, a wind arose. Sand grains rustled and shifted like a nervous crowd, before taking flight in endless streams, whipping up over the dune ridges and vigorously working to erase the traces of all who had come before. The wind strengthened further, inverse to the waning light. We braced ourselves against the frequent more-forceful gusts, and we brushed off our tightly-zipped camera bags every few minutes lest they be covered completely--but sand still found a way inside everything.

 

Changing lenses was out of the question for the rest of evening, so the long lens it was for me. The massive flows of blowing sand didn't show up at all in these telephoto long exposures, except to provide a bit of extra glowing softness along the dune ridges. Such an interesting contrast in my mind between this peaceful image and the great turbulence in full effect when I took the shot.

 

Thanks for viewing!

SHE dreams of Love upon the temple stair,—

About her feet the lithe green lizards play

In all the drowsy, warm, Sicilian air.

 

The winds have loosed the fillet from her hair,

Sea winds, salt-lipped, that laugh and seem to say, 5

“She dreams of Love, upon the temple stair.

 

“Then let us twine soft fingers, here and there,

Amid the gleaming threads that drift and stray

In all the drowsy, warm, Sicilian air,

 

“And let us weave of them a subtle snare 10

To cast about and bind her, as to-day

She dreams of Love, upon the temple stair.”

 

Alas, the madcap winds,—how much they dare!

They wove the web, and in their wanton way,

In all the drowsy, Sicilian air, 15

 

They bound her sleeping, in her own bright hair.

And as she slept came Love—and passed away,—

She dreams of Love, upon the temple stair,

In all the drowsy, warm, Sicilian air.

The Akapana pyramid (built at different times) is composed of seven platforms. The wall of the first platform is covered with finely carved pilasters and has its main across to the west, where a chachapuma (on display in the Lithic Museum) was recovered. It has a 194 by 194 meter quadrangular floor and is 15.70 meter high. It was intensively used in the Late Tiwanaku IV period and was gradually abandoned.

Mein Bestand an Agfa Brovira geht zu Ende und darum habe ich etwas nachgekauft. Zu meiner Überraschung lithet dieses Papier jetzt mit wenig Farbe, dafür aber mit sehr ausgeprägtem Korn. Das ist chargenabhängig und man kann nichts dagegen machen. Meine Charge ist aber in gutem Zustand, konventionelle Prints kommen kalt, gelingen aber gut und die Bildränder sind weiss. Eine Schwefeltonung nach moderater Bleichung bringt einen attraktiven Splitton.

 

My stock of Agfa Brovira is running out, so I bought some more. To my surprise, this paper now lithes with little color, but with very pronounced grain. This is batch dependent and there is nothing you can do about it. However, my batch is in good condition, conventional prints come cold but succeed well and the image edges are white. Sulfur toning after moderate bleaching results in an attractive split tone.

An experiment with Lith E instead of Lith D. The deep shadows become blacker, the contrast increases enormously. However, Lith E reduces the colourfulness, which was not desired for this image. So a second developer is necessary to increase the colourfulness and to bring out the tonal values of the highlights.

I used a 5 year old pinhole negative to make this 25x40cm Lith print on Fomatone paper, using Moersch EasyLith SE to avoid the dreaded snowball effect. Unfortunately, the newer versions of this paper are not litheable anymore since the last changes end of last year, which apparently means there are no lith papers in production at the moment right now. I do hope I'm wrong....Fortunately I do have a substantial stock of older papers for lith printing, but not in the 40x50cm size I'd like to use for an upcoming exhibition. Well, let's see....

Squeek reminds me very much of a human counterpart- David Hyde Pierce's character on the T.V. series, 'Frasier'. David played the character, 'Niles Crane', who was smart, very slim and lithe, and also, very, very shy. This is little Squeek to a 'T'!

I realised yesterday that in my haste to process the photos of more exciting animals I had completely forgotten my beloved little Tommies! They are simply put the cutest animals in the savannah and I feel heartbroken every time I see a predator take one of them down. Lithe, nimble and super quick these Thomson’s Gazelles often outrun the cheetah with their wicked manoeuvrability ; twisting and turning endlessly. If you notice them closely you would see that their tails NEVER stop wagging. Seriously! Watch a few videos and tell me I am wrong.

 

I am back to my beloved Amboseli landscapes after spending quite some time at Ol Pejeta and Mount Kenya. I might stay here for a few more images. I know I am talking like I physically made the journey, but in some ways coming back to an image in the Amboseli feels like coming back home – this is where all my adventures began and this is where I discovered that to be at one with the wild is the most peaceful feeling of all.

photography don't have limits for me...

Skara Brae on Orkney is prehistoric gem. Semi-Subterranean houses and workshops make up the site as it stands today. It is an impressive site much visited and intricately studied as it offers to reveal how prehistoric people lived. The site is said to be built into the community midden, or rubbish dump. The soft midden can be shaped and moulded with stones fitting in the voids to make a very safe stable environment for living and working in. Skara Brae is vaunted as the most complete Neolithic Village in Europe. House 5 as labelled in this picture has had a drain and still shows stone furnishings looking like lithic versions of kitchen dressers, a central hearth and a window too. This once inland village is now perilously close to the sea and needs sea defences to maintain the structure from destruction by wind and sea. It was rediscovered in 1850 after a storm uncovered part of the structure.

 

The companion pieces to this picture are here this is the first of three,

Skaill House previously pictured from House 5 Skara Brae and here I am wishing that I a had a tripod for few seconds to make a better picture 1 of 3

Skaill House

“Overlooking the spectacular Bay of Skaill, Skaill House is the finest 17th Century mansion in Orkney. Covering thousands of years of history, Skaill House is renowned for its contribution to Orkney’s diverse and exciting past. Today, after careful restoration work, the house is open to the public.”

And another one: an older negative, printed only now!

 

I've found this one a bit difficult to print so that it hits my vision for it just right. After quite a few different prints, I ended up with this one and love it a lot. Especially the softness and creamy tone, pure eye candy.

 

Never before have I used a two bath lith process but I recently read quite a bit about it and decided to try it for myself with this print. To be honest, I couldn't tell you why I mixed my 2nd developer like I did, I was just told it would make sense that way ;)

 

As was expected, the paper lost its nice and strong warm color in the second developer but I managed to get this nice creamy tone still.

 

Paper: Agfa Multicontrast Premium MCP 312 RC

1) Moersch Easy Lith 1+10

2) Rollei RPN Eco + Moersch Lith B 1+1+75

 

Toned in selenium (Moersch MT 1 1+10) for a few minutes afterwards.
