In 2012 breekt de Groningse kunstenaar Berndnaut Smilde internationaal door met zijn serie Nimbus. Hiervoor creëert hij wolken in binnenruimtes. Van die vluchtige gebeurtenis maakt hij foto’s, die door het onderwerp, de kleurschakeringen, schaduwen en omgeving de sfeer van Hollandse Meesters benaderen. Aan Smildes internationale bekendheid heeft zijn werk voor Saatchi Gallery in Londen zeker bijgedragen. Door Time Magazine is zijn werk uitgeroepen tot “Best Invention 2012” In december is Berndnaut Smilde exclusief te gast bij Platform57.
That’s not Photoshop. The Dutch artist Berndnaut Smilde has developed a way to create a small, perfect white cloud in the middle of a room. It requires meticulous planning: the temperature, humidity and lighting all have to be just so. Once everything is ready, Smilde summons the cloud out of the air using a fog machine. It lasts only moments, but the effect is dramatic and strangely moving. It evokes both the surrealism of Magritte and the classical beauty of the old masters while reminding us of the ephemerality of art and nature.

Ran out to Lake Waterford Park with my friend Nimbus and snapped some fun character photos while the sun was setting. Pretty great time, actually. :)
Tava numa vibe meio... Não quero vemelho, não quero azul, não quero verde, não quero marrom, não quero amarelho, não quero rosa. HAHA e daí o que usar?
Acabei usando preto com o Fireworks, da coleção de glitter holográfico da Top Beauty. :~ Pena que as fotos não captaram todo o brilho do negócio, porque, olha: É LINDO.
E dependendo da iluminação fica só um glitter prata por cima de preto, discretinho haha.
A nimbus or halo is not a sundog. Sundogs appear 22 degrees left and right of the sun and are quite common. Rarely seen, however, is the halo or nimbus. Essentially the same thing, they're created sunlight (or moonlight) gets refracted by ice crystals in the stratosphere. When we got back to the Research Center for lunch, I looked to the sky and was completely stunned at what I saw. I was moved almost to tears.

A shot of a lighted Nilavilakku at my home. Malayalam month of Karkitakam begins today. It is a long tradition to recite Ramayana in front of a lighted Nilavilakku in the evenings for the entire month.

Taken from the box base:
"Eric Wert (American, b.1976)
'Nimbus', 2019
Seeming to glow from within, Eric Wert's 'Nimbus' revels in fine detail, from the petals of the toppled arrangement to the fabric wrinkled by stitches in the background embroidery. Wert started his career as a scientific illustrator, and this 1000-piece puzzle shows off his style of visually intense, sensually charged still lifes that are anything but still."
This beautiful Pomegranate puzzle was a surprisingly loose fit, probably the first time I've noticed this in one of their puzzles. It's one of the more recent additions to their range so that may be the reason I've not experienced it before, but it didn't mar my pleasure one jot. More worrying was the constant fear of there being a missing piece - they were loose inside the box and the box itself had scruffy tape marks, often an indication that the previous owner didn't take much care. In fact it turned out to be complete although a couple of pieces were slightly worn.
Die Nimbus Motorräder „Humlebien“ (Hummel) wurden von 1934 bis 1956 gebaut. Insgesamt sind 12.500 dieser Maschinen seinerzeit vom Band gelaufen.
In Løgstør bei der Pinseparade 2017 trafen wir auf einen rührigen Club, der sich diesen Motorrädern widmet.
The Hogwarts Model
This is a jewel in the crown of the Art Department, the intricately detailed, spectacularly constructed model of Hogwarts Castle. For the first film, Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone, many close-up scenes of Hogwarts were shot on location, but the script also called for sweeping wide shots of every courtyard, tower and turret. To create those shots, the film's artists built this 1:24 scale model based on Stuart Craig's initial sketches and filmed it against a greenscreen. The production shots of this incredibly detailed model were then combined, using digital effects, to create unforgettably realistic views of J.K. Rowling's magical school.
About the Castle
- A team of 40 artists and crew-members built the first version of Hogwarts castle for Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone.
- More than 50 sculptors, painters and other artists maintained the castle during production.
- To make Hogwarts appear even more real, artists borrowed real courtyards from Alnwick Castle and Durham Cathedral where scenes from Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone were shot.
- Model makers installed more than 300 fibre optic lights that simulate lanterns, torches and even the illusion of students passing through the hallways.
- Artists used real gravel for rockwork and boulders and real plants for landscaping and trees. Everything is perfectly hand-sculpted to scale.
- The Hogwarts landscape is inspired by the Highlands of Scotland including the regions of Glen Nevis, Glen Coe and Loch Shiel.

Hogwarts Castle Model - Get a 360 degree view of the incredible, hand sculpted 1:24 scale construction that features within the Studio Tour. The Hogwarts castle model is the jewel of the Art Department having been built for the first film, Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone. It took 86 artists and crew members to construct the first version which was then rebuilt and altered many times over for the next seven films. The work was so extensive that if one was to add all the man hours that have gone into building and reworking the model, it would come to over 74 years. The model was used for aerial photography, and was digitally scanned for CGI scenes.
The model, which sits at nearly 50 feet in diameter, has over 2,500 fibre optic lights that simulate lanterns and torches and even gave the illusion of students passing through hallways in the films. To show off the lighting to full effect a day-to-night cycle will take place every four minutes so you can experience its full beauty.
An amazing amount of detail went into the making of the model: all the doors are hinged, real plants are used for landscaping and miniature birds are housed in the Owlery. To make the model appear even more realistic, artists rebuilt miniature versions of the courtyards from Alnwick Castle and Durham Cathedral, where scenes from Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone were shot.
