Ho Chi Minh-Ville, en pleine période de rush, tout le monde traverse et part dans sa direction choisie, sans réelle logique apparente. L'une des villes les plus bruyante que j'ai pu visité, tant l'omniprésence des moteurs est assourdissante !
Il y a là une petite ressemblance avec New York, peut-être le taxi jaune... :)

Ho Chi Minh City, in rush hour, everyone crosses and leaves in his chosen direction, with no apparent logic. One of the noisiest cities I've ever visited, the omnipresence of the engines is deafening ! There is a little likeness with New York, maybe the yellow taxi ... :)
The same lessons that led to the development of the M-72AB Zastava Zmey were applied to some of the JNA's other armored vehicles. That is to say, the omnipresence of incredibly mature anti-tank munitions and countermeasures left many of Yugoslavia's vehicles exposed to lethal threats during the Second Eastern European War. Indeed, despite what many contemporaneous public reports stated, this rebuke of Yugoslavia's armored forces was felt most heavily among those that rode and served in the M-81A Ipabogs. Rather than being designed for sustained confined warfare, the Ipabog was meant to ambush and overwhelm. This discrepancy in modus operandi would come to haunt the JNA during the war's peak.
To rectify these concerns, the Ministry of Defense once again turned to Zastava Arms (hence the new designation) to create a suite of applique for the M-81 series. Many of the improvements and additions are simply commonsense items: explosive reactive armor, a dozer blade, hardened underbelly, slat armor, and an active protection system. Although many of these add-ons obviously improve the overall protection of the vehicle writ large, particular emphasis was paid to the troop bay in the rear--if the dismounts can arrive in good health, then they can offer 360-degree protection for their respective vehicles. Whether or not this idea translates to reality has yet to be seen. Indeed, it appears that NATO is doing its utmost to see that Belgrade never has a chance to use its new toys. Still, that hasn't stopped the Balkan nation from stirring up trouble in the past, so the future might be bathed in red as well.

Retour aux anciens Bains et Thermes liégeois transformés en Cité Miroir, un lieu de débat, d'éducation et de culture.
L’échevin liégeois Georges Truffaut lance le projet des Bains et Thermes. Il comprend deux bassins de natation, une station d'autobus, une section d'hydrothérapie, des locaux annexes, un café-restaurant, un dancing. L'architecte moderniste Georges Dedoyard sera désigné au terme d'un concours au règlement très strict.
Le bâtiment est achevé sous l’occupation nazie et ouvre ses portes au public en mai 1942. Georges Truffaut, décédé en résistant en Angleterre un mois auparavant, ne verra jamais son projet abouti.
Considéré comme l’une des plus importantes réalisations du style moderniste de l’entre-deux-guerres, le bâtiment de la Sauvenière adopte les formes d’un paquebot aux proportions majestueuses. A l’intérieur, l’élément le plus singulier est le grand hall des bassins qui s’étend sur 80 mètres de long et plus de 10 mètres de haut.
Dedoyard s’est inspiré du courant artistique et architectural allemand Bauhaus. Les formes élémentaires - ici le cube et la sphère - sont mises en valeur, la symétrie règne. Les murs nus, les lignes épurées, l’omniprésence du béton armé et du verre vont dans le sens de cette architecture essentiellement fonctionnaliste.
Return to the old Liège baths and thermal baths transformed into a Cité Miroir, a place of debate, education and culture.
The Liège alderman Georges Truffaut launched the Bains et Thermes project. It includes two swimming pools, a bus station, a hydrotherapy section, additional premises, a café-restaurant, a dance hall. The modernist architect Georges Dedoyard will be appointed after a competition with very strict regulations.
The building was completed under the Nazi occupation and opened its doors to the public in May 1942. Georges Truffaut, who had died in resistance in England a month earlier, would never see his project succeeded.
Considered one of the most important achievements of the Modernist style of the interwar period, the Sauvenière building takes the form of a liner of majestic proportions. Inside, the most unique feature is the large pool hall which stretches 80 meters long and more than 10 meters high.
Dedoyard was inspired by the German Bauhaus artistic and architectural movement. The elementary forms - here the cube and the sphere - are highlighted, symmetry reigns. Bare walls, clean lines, the omnipresence of reinforced concrete and glass go in the direction of this essentially functionalist architecture.
¿Dónde está la estrella de los Nacimientos?
La tierra, encabritada, se ha parado en el viento.
Y no ven los ojos de los marineros.
Aquel pez —¡seguidle!—
se lleva, danzando,
la estrella polar.
Marinero,
tú tienes una estrella en el bolsillo...
¡Drop a star!
Enciende con tu mano la nueva música del mundo,
la canción marinera del mañana,
el himno venidero de los hombres...
¡Drop a star!
Echa a andar otra vez este barco varado, marinero.
Tú tienes una estrella en el bolsillo....
una estrella nueva de palacio, de fósforo y de imán.
(León Felipe / Drop a Star)

67. Of only one thing can it be asserted that it is not possible not to be, only one thing’s being is completely indubitable, apodictic necessity (necessarium apodicticum): the being which, strictly speaking, is above being.
68. »To be« - this expression could be referred to Metaphysicum Absolutum in an analogical way only.
69. If I say that God »exists«, God is supposed to be an ideal objectivity, and it is a desacralisation - that is to say a blasphemy.
70. If God were outside me then God would be not God but one of the things that exist. To suppose an objective God is strictly speaking an indirect negation of God.
71. Strictly speaking we cannot say whether God exists or not. Only in realisation will God be what God actually is; otherwise He is a possibility: the possibility of Myself. God in a sense does not exist but »may exist«.
72. God creates from himself, in himself and to himself: He creates into himself.
73. Not only can God do anything (omnipotentia) but also He does everything (omniagentia).
74. God is infinitely beautiful because He is infinitely similar to himself.
75. The omnipresence of God does not mean that He is in everything and pervades everything but that everything is in God.
Queda la calle ausente cuando se hunde la esquina
en los plateados charcos de la ciudad llovida.
Sin crepúsculos vacían los ojos en la acera
losetas que ennegrecen la noche cuando miran.
En medio de la gente que escapa de su hastío
quedan solo paisajes que se encierran y enlatan.
El olor de la avenida se entristece y queda
la sed que se empecina
en no beber historias ni enamorar sus lagos.
Queda tan solo para decir el agua
pero el agua se encharca en los reflejos
de las plazas vacías
(Franklin Sandi / Queda solo para decir el agua)

"The original weather shelter par excellence is here in the New Garden in Potsdam. A palmette-like ornate trunk, a tip that runs into a sörin (a term from Japanese garden architecture) with a pineapple fruit and other decorations adorn this bird of paradise, which has remained hardly changed in its kind over the centuries. [...]
The omnipresence of the magnificent buildings by Frederick William [II] is also clearly visible here in the New Garden in Potsdam. And in between there is this "Chinese Parasol", which was built in the course of the construction of the "New Garden" in 1787 (under building councellor Andreas Ludwig Krüger) on a snail mountain near the Marble House, was moved to the southwestern park boundary in 1797, was moved 8 meters into the garden by Hofgarten director Ferdinand Jühlke in 1877, was re-moved towards the Albrecht Gate in the 1950s, dismantled in 1978 and re-erected in June 2004 at its current location.

He's been watching you; judging might be a better word. There is something inherently unsettling in the omnipresence of Santa Claus. There's seemingly nowhere you can hide from his watchful eye. And as it's made clear in the old lore, he's not just watching but evaluating your every move. It's little wonder that many little kids are terrified of Saint Nick as evidenced by the family photos that get trotted out at this time if year. Unwitting parents plop a child down on Santa's lap and hilarity ensues except for the kid who develops a lifelong anxiety for the holidays. Reminds me of the dark side of many favorite Christmas stories. Like Rudolph and Frosty the Snowman. As I read the story, Frosty has a scrape with local law enforcement and is summarily run out of town. But on his way out taunts everyone with the threat of returning again at a later date, perhaps to cause unspecified mayhem. Happy holidays indeed!
PROPORTIO, an exhibition organised by the Axel & May Vervoordt Foundation and the Fondazione Musei Civici di Venezia. Curated by Axel Vervoordt and Daniela Ferretti and located in the imposing Palazzo Fortuny, the exhibition explores the omnipresence of universal proportions in art, science, music and architecture.
PROPORTIO follows on from the highly acclaimed exhibitions: Artempo (2007), In-finitum (2009) TRA (2011) and more recently Tàpies. Lo Sguardo dell’artista (2013). Throughout the course of human history, the concept of proportions has been applied across civilisations. The knowledge of sacred geometry, and the golden ratio in particular, was considered highly advanced and closely linked to secretive spiritual wisdom and religious traditions. In the West, the knowledge of sacred geometry was intentionally guarded for hundreds of years and may have been purposefully forgotten or discarded. PROPORTIO aims to initiate a contemporary dialogue surrounding the lost knowledge of proportions and sacred geometry. The work of artists, scientists, architects, philosophers and other thinkers provides a contextual discourse which helps udunderstand how proportions can inform the essential design of life in the present and how we may use this knowledge to create a blueprint for the future.
PROPORTIO features specially commissioned works by leading artists such as Marina Abramovic, Bae Bien-U, Michael Borremans, Maurizio Donzelli, Riccardo De Marchi Arthur Duff, Anish Kapoor and Izhar Patkin, which are exhibited alongside major works by Berlinde de Bruyckere, Luciano Fabro, Antony Gormley, Anselm Kiefer, Ellsworth Kelly, Sol Lewitt, Agnes Martin, Fausto Melotti, Mario Merz, Ad Ryman and Bill Viola, as well as a stunning selection of Egyptian artefacts, a series of Dutch Old Master architectural paintings, a splendid portrait by Botticelli and a monumental plaster model by Antonio Canova.

Des petits points dans le désert : de l’irrigation en Arabie saoudite. 🈂🌾🐑🌱🐄 Une chose qui m’a particulièrement marqué pendant cette mission, c’est l’incroyable diversité de formes et de couleurs des champs d’agriculture et des pâturages de par le monde. 🌍🌏🌎 Peut-être que devenir ambassadeur de la FAO m’y a rendu plus attentif… Leur omniprésence sur Terre est évidemment liée au besoin de sécurité alimentaire des populations, et malgré leur immense variété, une chose ne change pas : on a besoin de faire pousser de la nourriture. Des champs et des prairies ronds, carrés, autour des rivières, dans les creux des vallées, dans les déserts, qui transforment le paysage. À mesure que notre climat change, nous devons nous adapter et apprendre à cultiver différemment pour garantir une alimentation saine pour tous. #WorldFoodDay #ArtGriculture
Peas in the desert: irrigation in Saudi Arabia. 🌾🐐🌱🐄If there is one thing I have noticed this mission it is that agriculture and pastures come in all shapes and sizes, maybe being @FAO good-will ambassador made me more aware of the #CropArt in the 🌍🌏🌎. It is logical because humans all over the world need food security, and throughout our changing landscapes the need to grow food doesn't change. Crop fields and pastures come in many shapes and sizes: round, square, in-between and landscape-changing or river-diverting, and in deserts. As our climate changes we need to adapt and farm differently as necessary to ensure healthy food for all.

Multnomah Falls is a waterfall on the Oregon side of the Columbia River Gorge, located east of Troutdale, between Corbett and Dodson, along the Historic Columbia River Highway. The falls drops in two major steps, split into an upper falls of 542 feet (165 m) and a lower falls of 69 feet (21 m), with a gradual 9 foot (3 m) drop in elevation between the two, so the total height of the waterfall is conventionally given as 620 feet (189 m). Multnomah Falls is the tallest waterfall in the State of Oregon. It is credited by a sign at the site of the falls as the second tallest year-round waterfall in the United States but that claim is debated among waterfall experts.
A foot trail leads to Benson Footbridge, a 45-foot (14 m)-long footbridge that allows visitors to cross 105 feet (32 m) above the lower cascade. The trail continues to a platform at the top of the upper falls where visitors get a bird's-eye view of the Columbia Gorge and also of "Little Multnomah", a small cascade slightly upstream from the "upper" falls, which is not visible from ground level. The footbridge is named after Simon Benson, who had the bridge built in 1914.

A recorrer me dediqué esta tarde
Las solitarias calles de mi aldea
Acompañado por el buen crepúsculo
Que es el único amigo que me queda.
Nada ha cambiado, ni sus casas blancas
Ni sus viejos portones de madera.
Todo está en su lugar; las golondrinas
En la torre más alta de la iglesia;
El caracol en el jardín, y el musgo
En las húmedas manos de las piedras.
No se puede dudar, éste es el reino
Del cielo azul y de las hojas secas
En donde todo y cada cosa tiene
Su singular y plácida leyenda:
(Nicanor Parra / Hay Un Día Féliz)

Two of 216 faces watching over the Bayon, Angkor.
A translation of King Jayavarman VII`s mystic Buddhist beliefs, Bayon is a spiritual experience. From each of the survivng towers the enlightened grin of the Boddhisattva Avalokitesvara, one of the most worshipped divinities in Mahayana Buddhism and the kingdom's principal divinity, compassion radiates out in the four cardinal directions. Carved in the likeness of the King himself (his portrait is known from other sculptures found elsewhere in Cambodia and Thailand), these enigmatically smiling faces portray the King as god, symbolizing his omnipresence and omnipotence.
Si la naturaleza hubiera fijado una sola regla para la calidad de los miembros,
las fisonomías de todos los hombres serían semejantes,
y no sería posible distinguirlas unas de otras;
pero ella ha variado de tal modo las cinco partes del rostro que,
aunque haya establecido una regla general para la proporción,
no ha seguido ninguna para la calidad;
de manera que es fácil reconocer cada semblante.
(Leonardo Da Vinci)

Queda la calle ausente cuando se hunde la esquina

Sin crepúsculos vacían los ojos en la acera
losetas que ennegrecen la noche cuando miran.
Queda tan solo para decir el agua
pero el agua se encharca en los reflejos

huérfanas de espejismos y llenas de vidrieras falsas
que te dicen cuanto vale la soledad sin bolsillos
sin bolsillos a mano.

I had just read the article below and these guys were out back of the house in the trees and formed a nice silhouette

El cerro Plomo es la montaña más alta visible desde la ciudad de Santiago. Con sus más de 5400 metros, es un gigante custodiador de la región metropolitana de Chile, dejándose ver, caprichosamente, solo cuando el smog pierde su intensidad. Su majestuosidad toma ribetes insospechados cuando la lluvia limpia el valle y sus glaciares colgantes son recargados nuevamente con gotas de agua congelada. Su omnipresencia es tal, que puede ser visto a simple vista desde grandes lejanías, como por ejemplo desde la comuna de Olivar, en la región de O'Higgins, distante de él a mas de 110 kilómetros.
__________
Plomo hill is the tallest mountain that can be seen from the city of Santiago. With an elevation of more than 17.000 feet, its a giant that guards the metropolitan region of Chile, showing itself, whimsically, only when smog loses its intensity. Its majesty turns unsuspectingly high when rain washes and cleans the valley and its hanging glaciers gets reloaded with frozen water drops. With such omnipresence, it can be seen with naked eye from far away.
Sentado en la puerta de mi cabaña
canto en voz baja.
La mañana, a mis pies,
me mira con sus puros ojos de doncella.
Por el camino ríen y cantan los enamorados.
¡Y nadie viene a acompañarme!
Sentado a la puerta de mi cabaña
sueño a las nubes.
El mediodía me contempla con sus quietos ojos.
En la floresta dorada se miran los amantes.
¡Y nadie viene a acompañarme!
Sentado a la puerta de mi cabaña callo, nostálgico.
La tarde me mira con sus ojos de cervato.
