Geothermal areas of Iceland are absolutely breathtaking. There´s a lot of them and they are all different, so exploring these geothermal areas are one of the most exciting things you can do in Iceland. Very often, somewhere in the vicinity of these areas you will find a geothermal power plant, that converts this natural heat into energy for us to consume. An amazing project has been running since 2007, called CarbFix. Essentially, it involves technique of binding carbon dioxide gas as a mineral in local basalt rock in a fraction of the time. Carbon dioxide gas emitted from the power station is injected into water and then pumped deep down into basaltic rocks. Carbonated water is acidic. The more carbon you can pack into water, the more acidic the fluid will become. Carbonated water burns the rock underground forcing it to release elements such as calcium, magnesium and iron. In time, these elements will combine with the dissolved CO2 and form carbonates filling up the empty space in the basaltic rock underground. The carbonates are stable for thousands of years and can thus be considered permanently stored. The timescale of this process initially surprised the scientists as it was determined that 95% of the injected CO2 mineralizes within two years, much faster than previously thought. So far they have managed to inject back into the rocks nearly 65,500 metric tonnes of CO2.

Sheltering from the rain under the Neuron Pod at Queen Mary University of London.
"Centre of the Cell’s Neuron Pod is a striking 23-metre long and 10-metre high free-standing structure, located at Queen Mary University of London’s Whitechapel campus.
Neuron Pod is designed by the late Professor Will Alsop OBE RA at aLL Design, creator of STEM Pod and the surrounding Blizard Institute, which has won numerous design awards. Its design is inspired by images of a nerve cell, following on from the four pods inside the building that were inspired by other cells or molecules."

Lovely family walk this morning on the Monsal Trail. Lots of scooting, piggy back rides and talk of poo. Rileys favourite song subject at the moment.
I've long admired these moss covered branches. I love how their forms are so strikingly similar to that of the inner workings of the brain, lightning and the blood vessels which run around our bodies. Crazy.

I was passing by storefront window and loved how the branches framed the mannequin's eye and branched out into her head like the dendrites of neurons in the brain. And how it seemed her hair glowed with her thoughts.

Whilst experimenting with moving black fibre optics away from the camera (in a similar way to my blade tunnels), I ended up with very different results with each image. This was my favourite, being reminiscent of a bundle of nerve fibres, or MRI Diffusion Tensor Imaging. LPB Black Fiber Optic, connected via 2 LPB Universal Connectors to a Concentrate C5 RGB LED Light Unit. The C5 was on White mode - due to the seperate RGB LEDs being adjacent to the input end of the fibres, this results in a colourful range of primary and mixed colours. f/8, 2secs, ISO100. Post processed from RAW exposure in Adobe Lightroom 6.
...y ya se está pensando en otra, por supuesto.

...and one is already thinking about another one, of course.
Neuron :- By Juan Fuentes.
My sister Jan and I went to London to see the Winter Lights and Art Exhibition dotted around Canary Wharf, we also photographed some of the interesting bar / restaurants, plus the occasional architectural detail of other buildings.
Able to go outside after 3 months and realised how amazing the nature is. Quite usual has become unique as every moment is new and different.

My friend patrick has Motor Neuron Disease. He is also the 'face of Motor Neuron 2010' and is producing a series of portraits himself as 'Patricktheoptimist.org' as part of this responsibility. People have thought that he is crying in this image, but in fact is laughing - this is descriptive of the dichotomy of his situation. He is at the edge of the light.
holaaaaaaaaaa storditones,
stasera la a lunga ci sta proprio tutta, mi rimetto a scrivere dopo giorni di incredibile fermo biologico del neurone.
Mi riaccendo la sigaretta e vi vorrei raccontare un pò di cazzetti miei come si dice dalle mie parti.
E' vero che in solitudine il cervelletto macina e oggi da solo lo sono stato per molto tempo, tutto il giorno praticamente solo con me stesso a leggere le pagine di una storia che non sento più mia ma che non ho voglia di abbandonare.
Periodo di verifiche e testa bassa a laurà, senza sosta, di sogni che viaggiano come treni e treni che se ne stanno fermi come mummie, circondato da cadaveri puzzolenti e amebe in cerca di identità, è dura cari storditones riuscire ancora oggi ad avere un credo, uno qualsiasi non mi metto mica a fare lo schifiltoso, ma mi basterebbe avere davanti un qualcosa che renda meno indifferente tutta la nostra attività quotidiana.
Una volta si diceva a gran voce: "Dio è morto!";
poi si è passato al "Marx è morto!";
ora mi sento di dover prendere in prestito la famosa frase di W. Allen che diceva:
"e io non mi sento troppo bene!"
Si, non mi sento bene preso per il culo da una società che non ha piu' l'uomo al centro del proprio progetto, che misura tutto con lo sterco del Demonio (grandioso chi coniò questa frase per indicare il Denaro), che non ha piu' rispetto per il lavoro ma solo per il saper fottere e comandare.
Certo so bene che è un prodotto di un lungo processo che ci portiamo avanti da anni se non da secoli, ma se permettete mi rode un pò sapere che le prossime generazioni dovranno vedersela con il baratro della solitudine e con la consapevolezza della sopravvivenza, perchè a questo si è arrivati, non si vive piu' si sopravvive, e non mi venite a dire che non è così, perchè di lamentele in giro ne sento a bizzeffe!
Forse ci provano a narcotizzarci con le grandi promesse di un mondo migliore, ma non è così si sta cadendo sempre piu' in basso, e sapete una cosa?
Ci hanno fatto credere che il lavoro nobilita l'uomo e hanno riempito le nostre case di scritturali con l'orologio in mano a scandire le ore per uscire dall'ufficio, nessuno sa piu' fare, provate a cercare un manovale, un idraulico, un agricoltore, non ci sono più, o meglio non ci sono più italiani disposti a farsi venire i calli sulle mani per portare a casa uno stipendio!
"Ma io ho studiato" direte giustamente voi, e si...avete studiato, ma col vostro diploma vi siete scavati la tomba della scrivania con le vostre mani, avete barattato i calli sulle mani con i calli sotto il culo, avete ceduto alle ferie scontate dal CRAL aziendale rinunciando ad una quotidianità creativa e sicuramente piu' stimolante, col risultato che ce l'abbiamo tutti davanti agli occhi:
una classe media arida pronta a prostituirsi per una fetta di mortadella in piu' a fine mese e con maestranze sempre piu' carenti.
Non credo duri tanto questa situazione, il vaso è colmo e non tutti possono accedere alla tastiera della produttività, anche perchè il mercato è saturo e i licenziamenti all'ordine del giorno, quindi ritorniamo al discorso iniziale:
Dio è morto e Marx pure, se io mi sento poco bene vado lo stesso a lavorare....nel mio mondo lavoro da Dio.....e non mi paga nemmeno la malattia..
hola storditones.....
Neurons are the building block of a nervous system. They are responsible for transmitting signals through out are bodies. I think trees are very similar. Trees create food for us and animals. They give us oxygen which is a must for are eco system to survive. They communicate in different ways but more or less it’s similar in many aspects.

Went to take the food bin out, and noticed these little drops in the handle.
Had to get the camera.

Para empezar, siento mucho escribir en castellano, pero es que la neurona no me da para escribir en inglés ahora xD
He estado inactiva durante muchísisisimo tiempo y me siento muy culpable, sobre todo porque hace un tiempo, a finales de Enero, me fui a visitar a una cosa dulce y algodonosa llamada Ikaychín! Y tengo muchas muchas fotos por subir aquí y a mi flickr de no-muñecas del viaje tan lleno de recuerdos chachis. Lo siento mucho, la verdad, pero en cuanto volví no paré de hacer cosas y la rutina de la Universidad me absorve totalmente.... (para que digan que en Bellas Artes no hacemos nada xD) Intentaré tener las más importantes subidas ya este fin de semana ^__^
Así que, en primer lugar, ésta foto del Sebastian tan sexy es para su papi, que me acogió en su casa y me tuvo que aguantar durante una semana entera xD Lo pasé estupendamente, la verdad, algún día ya volveré, pero en veranitu te toca a ti acercarte para el norte (a ver surfistas... cofcof) >333
Por otra parte, una cierta cosa cuquinosa y chachi a la vez de kawaiiosa ha cumplido años hace poquito, y no he tenido tiempo de enviarle nada ni de dedicarle una foto ¬¬ *cabezazos contra la pared*
Esa personita es Ichi, mi gatufi favorita <3
Ichinosa mía, que sepas que tu regalín aún está en proceso, espero poder enviártelo enseguidita para que lo veas y disfrutes! Tengo ganas de mandártelo ya ^^
y por supuesto FELIZ CUMPLEAÑOS atrasados, cuquitufi, esta foto también te la dedico a ti, que se lo poco que te gusta Sebas-chan encima con esos ojitos rojos penetrantes que te atraviesan hasta el alma *__*
Ensherio, espero que te guste!
Así que, os mando un beso a los dos, corasonsuelos míos! <3 Ojalá volvamos a coincidir los tres para que el Universo entero colapse con todo el amor que desprendemos <3 <3 <3
Mwwwah! ^3^~~~~ <3
*Fractals are much more interesting to me if they have produced mathematically, not by graphic design, and this one too have been made in this way.
The Neuron Pod is a new science education centre in Whitechapel and a spectacular example of London's modern architecture.
Though you'd be forgiven for thinking it's a funky hedgehog, this 10 metre high, 23 metre long structure designed by aLL Design replicates a nerve cell and “comes alive” at night as it is illuminated with vibrant colour.
Over the past five months I've been visiting London periodically to shoot for my next book for Amberley Publishing called "London: A Modern City in Photographs". More details and pre-orders should be available in a few weeks. In the meantime, signed copies of my first book "Wales in Photographs" are available on my website www.mathewbrowne.co.uk/product/wales-in-photographs-signe...
