Tanjore Bragadeeshwara temple. This temple is famous for its architecture. It is said that the platform is built in such a way that the shadow of the gopura falls within the platform throughout the year
This is a metaphor: musicians must 'unlock' the hidden meaning of the music before they can really reach extraordinary.
I'm a violinist myself. This is part of the first part of a cello/violin duet by Johann Halvorsen called Passacaglia. I am playing it with my friend.
We were lucky enough to arrive at the Looff Carousel when a wedding party was standing in line to also ride. It really sucked though that the 'official' wedding photographer kept getting in my way to get all the best shots. How rude. I did get this one though. The bride was BEAUTIFUL!!! The dress... be still my heart. My husband didn't notice the dress, or even the bride all that much. He was feeling sorry for all the groomsmen having to ride with the wedding party - the groomsmen didn't look all that excited :D And wow, isn't riding a merry-go-round on your wedding day a perfect metaphor for marriage?
If you ever visit Victoria & Albert Museum in London, do make sure to visit an obscure corner of that building, where they house Lord Frederic Leighton's "The arts of industry as applied to peace". The picture hangs in a quiet, rarely visited, dark passage. Several studies and cartoons for the piece can be seen nearby.
In this image you are looking at Leighton's full scale study from both ends simultaneously. Divided in two, the picture has created a passage into other dimension (I think).
part of the body of a disarticulated blue crab, reminding me both of the body of an action hero and the pose of surrender

The worn wire-bound notebook background contrasts harshly with the crisp sans-serif text and UI elements of the diary. It feels out of place.
The lady on the left was explaining the symbiotic relationship between ad sales and editorial to me by an analogy with the chicken-and-egg codependency, then her friend turned up and started kissing her. I actually have a video of this, but I can't find a way to recompress it to an uploadable size. It's an MJPEG, if you can believe that.

I'm a bit late with my journaling map but here it is. I decided to use the inside of my garden shed as a metaphor for my journaling journey. Hope you like it.

If a somewhat clumsy metaphor. I think I have a similar photo from the last trip. But the visual parallel is too stark to ignore.

This flower is metaphor for how I am feeling these last few days before the US presidential election is decided with Obama's victory! Just as the inner petals of this flower are tight wands, still coiled, we know they are going to burst forth into a beautiful bloom. I almost called the image "Tightly Wound" because the moment I looked at this frame in the large view on my monitor I knew I was looking in a mirror, ha ha!
My investigation into lifestream. I discovered this 1996 dissertation paper from Yale, which talks about the idea from a book called Mirror Worlds, and make into reality as a desktop metaphor (do watch the quicktime video on the web page). I just realized how similar it is to a feature of Apple's latest Leopard OS called Time machine.
After seeing a presentation from visualization legend Robert Horn, I began to work harder to find the right metaphors to build ideas around. Here was the first one I produced for a client, which dramatically helped simplify a complex proposition. Some labels have been changed to protect the innocent :)
Definitions of flip book on the Web:
A flip book is a book with a series of pictures varying gradually from one page to the next, so that when the pages are turned rapidly, the pictures appear to animate, simulating motion or some other change. Flip books are often illustrated books for children, but may also be geared towards adults and employ a series of photographs rather than drawings. Flip books are not always separate books, but may appear as an added feature in ordinary books or magazines, often in the page corners.
