is the basis and credo of our modern industrial society, which thus produces millions and millions of tons of CO2 in a fraction of a second, by burning raw materials that have slowly built up over millions of years.

 

Pitch Drop, 2016, Julian Charrière

Pitch Drop (2016) refers to the experiment of the same name.

 

The experiment, begun in 1930 in a laboratory in New Zealand, that has been studying the dripping behavior of hard and rock-like pitch for some 90 years.

 

Charrière's work takes up this lengthy process: The time-based sculpture drips once every ten years, following a rhythm of centuries beyond the human lifespan.

 

Until the upper container would be empty,

more than 10,000 years would pass.

 

This enormous time span corresponds to the duration of the Holocene so far,

the period in the history of the Earth that marks the evolution of humankind

development of humankind from the Neolithic period to the

present.

 

I have seen the work of art years ago in Düsseldorf and could already notice minimal changes, but it has not yet come to the formation of drops.

 

It is also a good experiment to show that nuclear waste repositories, no matter in what hard sediment, will be in flux over the millennia.

 

Charrière clarifies also with this

which unimaginably long periods of time the earth's history is in comparison with human scales.

 

Why the artist is concerned ...

 

The title of his exhibition is "Controlled Burn"

 

The extraction of tar or pitch is probably very old. While tar is clearly a product of dry distillation from woods or coals, pitch, on the other hand, can be described as a by-product of tar production. Tar has an oily consistency and remains semi-liquid or viscous, while pitch retains its viscous property only at high heat and hardens when cooled.

 

The basic material of coal is mainly of plant origin.

 

Typical coal formation takes its beginning in extensive swamp forests of lowlands. The trees bind carbon dioxide, CO2 from the air by means of photosynthesis and convert it into the carbohydrate cellulose and other organic compounds.

 

After individual trees die, they sink into the swamp and are thus removed from the normal aerobic decomposition process - peat is initially formed.

 

Coal is formed from the peat when subsidence occurs over geological periods of time, i.e. many tens of millions of years, and overburden.

 

In this process, with increasing depth of subsidence, both the ambient pressure and the ambient temperature rise to well above 1000°. This causes the so-called incarburization of the peaty sediments.

 

Initially, lignite is formed. As the depth of injection increases, the coalification process intensifies. Lignite becomes hard coal and finally anthracite. For this reason, the quality of coal is often better the deeper it lies in the earth and the older it is.

 

Similar processes occur in the formation of oil and gas. The artist wants to make clear to us the time span of our waste and the corresponding climate and earth damage in proportion to the formation time of the fossil energy sources ...

Große Beschleunigung und immerwährende Geschwindigkeit

ist die Grundlage und Credo unserer modernen Industriegesellschaft, die somit in Sekundenbruchteilen abermillionen an Tonnen an CO2 produziert, durch die Verbrennung von Rohstoffen, die sich über millionen von Jahren langsam aufgebaut haben.

 

Pitch Drop, 2016,Julian Charrière

 

Pitch Drop (2016) nimmt Bezug auf das gleichnamige Ex-

periment, 1930 in Neuseeland im Labor begonnen, das seit rund 90 Jahren das Tropfverhalten von hartem und felsgleichen Pech untersucht.

 

Diesen langwierigen Prozess nimmt Charrières Werk auf: Die zeitbasierte Skulptur tropft einmal alle zehn Jahre und folgt somit einem Rhythmus von Jahrhunderten, der über die menschliche Lebensspanne hinausgeht.

 

Bis der obere Behälter leer wäre,

würden über 10’000 Jahre vergehen.

 

Diese enorme Zeitspanne entspricht der bisherigen Dauer des Holozäns,

dem Zeitabschnitt der Erdgeschichte, der die Entwicklung

der Menschheit von der Jungsteinzeit bis in die Gegen-

wart umfasst.

 

Warum es dem Küntler geht ...

 

Ich habe das Kunstwerk vor Jahren in Düsseldorf schon gesehen und konnte minimale Veränderungen schon feststellen aber zur Tropfenbildung ist es noch nicht gekommen.

 

Charrière verdeutlicht auch mit diesem

Werk, welche unvorstellbar langen Zeiträume die Erdge-

schichte im Vergleich zu menschlichen Massstäben

kennzeichnen.

 

Sein Ausstellungstitel - Controlled Burn ...

 

Die Gewinnung von Teer bzw. Pech ist vermutlich sehr alt. Während Teer eindeutig ein Produkt trockener Destillation aus Hölzern oder Kohlen ist, kann man Pech dagegen als ein Folgeprodukt der Teerherstellung bezeichnen. Teer besitzt eine ölige Konsistenz und bleibt halbflüssig bzw. zäh, Pech dagegen behält seine zähflüssige Eigenschaft nur bei großer Hitze und härtet bei Erkalten aus.

 

Das Ausgangsmaterial von Kohle ist hauptsächlich pflanzlichen Ursprungs.

 

Typische Kohlebildung nimmt ihren Anfang in ausgedehnten Sumpfwäldern von Tiefebenen. Die Bäume binden mittels Photosynthese Kohlendioxid, CO2 aus der Luft und wandeln es in das Kohlenhydrat Zellulose und andere organische Verbindungen um.

 

Nach dem Absterben einzelner Bäume versinken diese im Sumpf und werden so dem normalen aeroben Zersetzungsprozess entzogen – es entsteht zunächst Torf.

 

Aus dem Torf entsteht Kohle, wenn es zu Absenkung über geologische Zeiträume hinweg, also viele dutzend Millionen Jahre kommt und zu Überdeckungen.

 

Dabei steigen mit zunehmender Versenkungstiefe sowohl der Umgebungsdruck als auch die Umgebungstemperatur bis weit über 1000°. Dies verursacht die sogenannte Inkohlung der torfigen Sedimente.

 

Dabei entsteht zunächst Braunkohle. Mit zunehmender Versenkung intensiviert sich die Inkohlung. Aus Braunkohle wird Steinkohle und schließlich Anthrazit. Deshalb ist die Qualität von Kohle oft umso besser, je tiefer sie in der Erde liegt und je älter sie ist.

 

Ähnliche Prozesse laufen bei der Entstehung von Öl und Gas ab. Der Künstler möchte uns die Zeitspanne unserer Verschwendung und der entsprechenden Klima- und Erdschädigung in der Proportion zur Entstehungszeit der fossilen Energieträger verdeutlichen ...

 

Mit Vollgas in den Abrund ... ;-) ...

DC can't plausibly claim to be the "best" for any particular cuisine, with the possible exception of Ethiopian. We have an astonishing number of outstanding Ethiopian restaurants. Shashamane is one of several along 9th Street NW, at U Street. It doesn't get a lot of attention, no online reviews except from the omnipresent Tyler Cowen -- but it has fantastic food.

 

One quibble, which applies to virtually all Ethiopian restaurants, is that they often don't bring the food the way you order it. My son Chris was emphatic in saying that we wanted the kitfo (ground beef) raw and the waitress said "of course." When she left, Chris said, "They're going to cook that kitfo, I can just tell." And they did. But it was still delicious - blazing hot with extra red pepper powder if desired.

 

Chris is sort of an old hand at trying to trick Ethiopian servers into bringing you the "real stuff" -- at another Ethiopian restaurant they didn't want to bring him the raw lamb and lamb liver dish, until he lied and told them he'd had it before. Even then, they still brought it out and made him look at it before they would serve it to him.

And of course the omnipresent red bus...

La obra poética, en la que el sentimiento constante y predominante es la saudade, nos ofrece una visión desolada del mundo y de la vida. También es reseñable la profundización en el yo que realiza la poetisa y que la lleva al descubrimiento de una saudade ontológica, un sentimiento misterioso e inefable de soledad sin relación con algo concreto, que está vinculado a la radical orfandad del ser humano. Esta tara existencial que Rosalía analiza desde su propia vivencia, se percibe como el hallazgo final de un proceso en el que la desgracia va marcando su vida por medio del sufrimiento y del dolor, siendo éste último inevitable, como nos lo revela en el poema Unha vez tiven un cravo. Ante esta situación, la única solución es la huida o pérdida absoluta de la conciencia.

 

Toda la visión desolada de la vida se intensifica con la angustia existencial que se deriva de la omnipresencia de un fantasma que atenaza su vida y que se manifiesta de forma especial en el símbolo oscuro, vago y polisémico de la negra sombra.

Jan Vermeer (Johannes van der Meer - Delft, October 31, 1632 - Delft, December 15, 1675) - Gentleman and Lady with Wine - (1658-60) oil on canvas 67.7 x 79.6 cm - Gemäldegalerie, Berlin

 

In quest'opera la vista ravvicinata viene abbandonata per la prima volta. Vermeer fa indietreggiare gli spettatori, separandoli per mezzo della sedia non occupata al tavolo. La distanza così guadagnata allarga l'angolo di visuale. L'interno non è più percepito come parte di un estratto di figure, ma piuttosto le figure sono ora parte di questo estratto dall'interno. Innovazioni di questo tipo indicano l'influenza dei primi capolavori di Pieter de Hooch, pittore collega di Vermeer di Delft che aveva tre anni in più. Gli interni di De Hooch del 1658 circa sono principalmente concepiti e progettati a partire dall'architettura degli interni. Ciò che Vermeer riuscì però a realizzare con un interno del tipo dipinto da de Hooch è dimostrato particolarmente da questo dipinto.

nella differenziazione delle caratteristiche superficiali ma senza ridursi a questo scopo puramente oggettivo. Alla luce onnipresente, gli oggetti assumono l'aspetto di possedere una qualità superiore

 

In this work the close-up view is abandoned for the first time. Vermeer pulls the spectators back, separating them by means of the unoccupied chair at the table. The distance thus gained widens the angle of view. The interior is no longer perceived as part of an extract of figures, but rather the figures are now part of this extract from the interior. Innovations of this kind indicate the influence of the early masterpieces of Pieter de Hooch, Vermeer's fellow painter from Delft who was three years older. De Hooch's interiors from about 1658 are primarily conceived and designed from the architecture of the interior. What Vermeer was able to accomplish, however, with an interior of the type painted by de Hooch is demonstrated particularly by this painting.

in the differentiation of surface features but without reducing himself to this purely objective purpose. In the omnipresent light, objects take on the appearance of possessing a superior quality

j'ai pris cette photo en décembre 2004, depuis la pointe sud de

manhattan.

il faisait un soleil radieux quand tout à coup tout s'est obscurci

avec le nuage de tempête le plus noir que j'aie jamais vu.

il a commencé à pleuvoir à grosses gouttes. j'ai réussi à prendre

cette photo juste avant de tout remballer.

quelque part sur la droite, hors champ, miss liberty...

cette photo a été exposée à plusieurs reprises à paris sous le titre

"can you hear them, the helicopters", une phrase empruntée à pj

harvey parce qu'à manhattan, s'il y a un son aussi inhabituel

qu'omniprésent, c'est bien celui des hélicoptères.

elle a également fait la jacquette d'une compilation d'artistes autoproduits.

 

j'espère rentrer de cette semaine à new york avec une photo qui soit

aussi essentielle dans mon portfolio...! à bientôt !

Hard to believe that these giants get upwards of a third of their water requirements from the omnipresent coastal fog.

 

The industrial revolution arrived in California in the mid-19th century driving intense demand for lumber. The massive coast redwoods seemed a boon for commercial loggers, but their efforts quickly decimated the old growth forests. Today, about 6% of the original coast redwood habitat is old-growth forest, and much of what remains was reforested with other species of trees that made it hard for the remaining redwoods to survive.

 

By the early twentieth century, conservationists had lobbied to protect these lands and trees, and a complex system of state and nationally protected lands emerged. In 1994, the California state and National Park services agreed to co-manage the lands as one unit. There has been significant progress in restoring the Mill Creek Watershed to a more natural state, removing old logging roads and clearing some of the Douglas-fir planted by the logging companies, to allow for the redwoods to thrive and flourish again.

 

Though not quite as staffed and managed as other National Parks, Redwood National and State Parks is a magnificent place for hikers, nature lovers, and photographers. Take the opportunity to visit Northern California and see for yourself. You'll be glad that you did!

Las sensaciones se confunden cuando uno llega hasta los dos mil metros largos de altitud del primero de los lagos del Circ de Pessons.

Se juntan en el cerebro, casi amontonándose, el cansancio de la primera parte de la ascensión, la potente luz de mediodía del sol de Julio, los variados y llamativos tonos de verde, el azul intenso del cielo sin nubes, el brillo de espejo de la quieta lámina de agua reflejándolo todo...

Un conjunto de sensaciones, todas ellas preñadas de una belleza casi hiriente, supongo que junto a un incipiente, casi imperceptible y ligero "mal de altura", acaban conformando

un cuadro clínico-estético que intuyo muy semejante al síndrome de Stendhal, pero aplicado en este caso a la Naturaleza, no a las obras de arte humanas.

Y es que Naturaleza acaba siendo siempre de quien los humanos "copiamos". No importa si son estructuras arquitectónicas, pinturas sublimes, esculturas majestuosas o páginas y páginas de la más profunda inspiración negro sobre blanco...

Ella es omnipresente, omnipotente, omnisiciente...

Toda nuestra inspiración se basa en ella.

El monte Ararat (en armenio, Արարատ; en turco, Ağrı Dağı) es el pico más alto de Turquía, con 5165 msnm, localizado en la parte oriental del país, muy cerca de la frontera con Irán y Armenia. Se trata de un volcán inactivo cuya cima se encuentra cubierta de nieves perpetuas.

 

A pesar del consenso académico de que las "montañas de Ararat" del Libro del Génesis no se refieren específicamente a este monte, el Monte Ararat ha sido sin embargo ampliamente aceptado en el cristianismo, en el judaísmo y en el islam como el lugar de descanso del Arca de Noé.

 

Está localizado en el extremo este de Turquía, a 16 km al oeste de la frontera de Irán y a 32 km al sur de la frontera con Armenia. Esta montaña se considera una de las más singulares de la Tierra por su amplia base y la predominancia de su silueta en el paisaje.

 

Un cono más pequeño (3.896 msnm), el monte Sis, se eleva al sudeste del pico principal. Una meseta de lava se extiende entre los dos pináculos.

 

Actividad volcánica

 

Técnicamente, el Ararat es un estratovolcán, formado a partir de flujos de lava y eyecciones de materiales piroclásticos.

 

La última actividad volcánica registrada en la montaña fue un terremoto importante en julio de 1840 centrado alrededor del Desfiladero de Ahora, una larga sima de dirección noreste que cae unos 1.825 m desde la cumbre de la montaña.

 

La montaña pasó de Armenia a Turquía tras un pacto fronterizo con la URSS (que había ocupado Armenia). En su día, los turcos protestaron ante la URSS por el hecho de que la República Socialista Armenia incluyera el Ararat en su escudo de armas, siendo parte del territorio turco. Según se dice, desde el Kremlin respondieron si acaso la luna y la estrella que aparecen en la bandera turca también eran parte de su territorio.

 

En la actual Armenia el Ararat es un símbolo omnipresente. Sigue apareciendo en su escudo de armas y no hay casa que no tenga una foto, cuadro o grabado con la silueta del monte. La pérdida de su monte sagrado es aún hoy motivo de nostalgia y melancolía para los armenios.

Une démarche de développement durable

Le centre de production horticole, c'est 13 300 m2 de serres qui figurent sans doute parmi les plus modernes et performantes du pays. "Nous n'avons pas voulu nous contenter de remplacer les vieilles serres de Créteil et Limeil-Brévannes, explique Thierry

Deman, responsable de la production florale et arboricole de Plaine centrale. Notre objectif, c'était de créer un site de production qui garantisse un haut rendement, respecte l'environnement et offre au personnel de bonnes conditions de travail. C'est

pourquoi nous nous sommes inscrits dans une démarche HQE (haute qualité environnementale) de développement durable."

C'est ainsi que les constructions ont été intégrées dans leur environnement, que les serres ont été travaillées et disposées pour limiter au maximum l'impact visuel, que les arbres et les haies existants ont été préservés et que les matériaux choisis (bois,

verre, aluminium, acier inoxydable, linoléum, peintures sans solvant) l'ont été pour leurs faibles nuisances environnementales.

À l'intérieur, la plupart des réseaux ont été enterrés et l'éclairage a été réalisé avec des luminaires basse luminancepour améliorer le confort visuel.

Les équipements bruyants ont été mis dans des lieux isolés pour limiter les nuisances sonores, des siphons ont été placés régulièrement sur les dallages pour faciliter le nettoyage du sol, des ouvrants de pignons et de toiture ont été installés pour permettre

le brassage et le renouvellement de l'air.

Des économies d'eau et d'énergie

Mais le respect de la démarche HQE est surtout sensible dans la gestion économique et écologique de l'énergie et de l'eau.

De nombreuses dispositions ont ainsi été prises pour réaliser des économies de chauffage et améliorer le confort de travail du personnel (énergie humaine) : orientation des serres dans l'axe nord-sud pour un ensoleillement maximum, utilisation d'un verre spécial pour une filtration positive des rayons solaires (rétention

des UVA), régulation informatisée du climat et installation d'une chaudière à grand volume d'eau, mise en place de chaînes de production pour diminuer les déplacements, les efforts et contraintes physiques, concentration des aires de culture

autour de la galerie de travail.

Par ailleurs, tout a été conçu pour limiter les prélèvements d'eau et supprimer les rejets. C'est ainsi qu'un bassin de récupération des eaux de toiture a été réalisé et qu'un système d'arrosage, fondé sur le drainage et le recyclage des eaux de sol

a été mis en œuvre (voir encadré).

Ce sont bien, ainsi, des serres du XXIe siècle qui ont ouvert à Mandres-les-Roses. Un univers de fleurs et de plantes vertes certes, mais aussi de tapis de convoyage, de ponts roulants et de chariots mécaniques, car l'automatisation est omniprésente et a

permis à chaque étape de la production (rempotage, fertilisation ...) et de la manutention (transport du terreau, des plaques de culture ...) d'éliminer la plupart des tâches pénibles. Quant aux ordinateurs dont la présence peut également surprendre, ils

gèrent, ni plus ni moins que le chauffage, l'arrosage et le climat.

Un système d'arrosage innovant

En matière de développement durable et de protection de l'environnement, les serres communautaires se situent à la pointe de la technologie. Alors que les dégâts causés aux nappes phréatiques par les engrais et traitements divers sont depuis longtemps avérés et que l'eau devient un bien de plus en plus précieux, les serres communautaires ne polluent pas et permettent de réaliser des économies. Elles le doivent à l'installation d'un système d'arrosage qui met en œuvre le recyclage des eaux d'arrosage et la récupération des eaux de pluie (ou eaux de toiture). Comme le montre le schéma ci-dessous, le recyclage des eaux d'arrosage s'effectue par filtration à travers une toile perméable et une couche de roche volcanique au pouvoir tampon, disposées sous les plantes. Les eaux de pluie, elles, sont récupérées dans un bassin de 500 m3. Après mélange et fertilisation dans une station de pompage, eaux de pluie et d'arrosage sont dirigées sur les rampes d'arrosage.

Tothom reconeix la silueta de Rocacorba amb el santuari omnipresent damunt la roca.

 

El Santuari de Mare de Déu de Rocacorba, o Castell de Rocacorba, està situat dalt del massís de Rocacorba, a Canet d'Adri (Gironès) CAT., a uns 929 metres d'altitud, just al costat del Puigsou, (992 m) actualment ocupat per repetidors de televisió que s'albiren des de moltes comarques del voltant.

 

És una obra declarada bé cultural d'interès nacional.

 

En aquest racó de món és on s'hi erigeix solemne, just al cim d'una roca amb forma de proa de vaixell, i on en dies clars permet veure des del Cap de Creus, el Montgrí, les Illes Medes, les Gavarres, el Montseny o el Puigmal.

-------------------------------------------

RocaCorba.

 

Everyone recognizes the silhouette of Rocacorba with the ubiquitous sanctuary on the rock.

 

The Sanctuary of Our Lady of Rocacorba, or Castle of Rocacorba, is located on top of the Rocacorba massif, in Canet d'Adri (Gironès) CAT., At an altitude of about 929 meters, right next to the Puigsou, (992 m ) currently occupied by television repeaters that can be seen from many surrounding counties.

 

It is a work declared a cultural asset of national interest.

 

In this corner of the world is where it stands solemnly, right on top of a rock in the shape of a ship's bow, and where on clear days it allows you to see from Cap de Creus, the Montgrí, the Medes Islands, the Gavarres, the Montseny or the Puigmal.

This is the Shafer Trail in the Canyonlands National Park, Moab, UT. La Sal Mountains in the background with icecaps! They are omnipresent in all the vistas around Moab.

 

It is a 18.2 mile point-to-point trail and is good for all skill levels. The trail is primarily used for off road driving and is accessible year-round. As windy as it looks but not difficult even for newbie drivers.

 

I was surprised to see not many people even know about this National Park let alone the epic vista of the Shafer Trail. Mostly, the Park is know for the Mesa Arch but is mostly overshadowed by the Arches National Park just 40min apart.

 

Nonetheless, the Shafer Trail joins the White Rim road and also has an outlet to Potash Road that joins Moab. At places a 4X4 seem like a good idea but you will see regular sedans cruising along too. Also the trail takes you to other side of the Horseshoe point and give a closer look to the green river overlook. Not to mention you will also get to see the Muscle Man arch on the trail as well.

 

This is a single shot but will post more panorama once I stitch them! The new Lightroom 6 is going to be a big help saving a lot of back and forth trips of photoshop!

 

I was very happy that I visited the Canyonlands and will recommend it equally if not more than the Arches.

Thank you for favorites and comments, I highly appreciate it.

This morning I saw a few Idd Pictures in our newspapers, and I think this picture I took in sheer humility speaks not of Idd this year but Idds to come in future years for this little guy..nurtured on love , good upbringing in his eyes you see the greater glory of man in the splendor of his omnipresent Faith Islam.

Yes unscarred Islam, a Islam that was the Word of God and no that of a Rogue Mullah.

Islam as seen through the Lives of the Holy Prophet, Islam as seen on the sands of Karbala , martyred but palpitatingly alive 1400 years.

Islam is so much and more.Idd is not just hugging , Idd is a symbol of eternal Peace of Humanity.

As a photographer poet Idd is a message I send through my Photo Blog.Idd Namaz is the callisthenics of our spirtuality , I am afraid I could have shown it with a single picture..but with my shortcomings I posted 127 all at Flickr a few at Bloggerspot and Word Press.

The Press photographer who shouted Fuck Off to me was old enough to be the age of my son, this was his upringing his hate that came into play and yes Indians hate Indians pers se.

One day perhaps he like his other Press photographer brothers will read the writing on the wall..

You can fool the readers with crappy pictures some times but not all times.

Photography is not just pictures , photography is wordless poetry that one reads when one sees a picture..

This will remain etched on my heart and soul, the defiance and the confusion in the childs eyes on the changes in Islam bought by a few disgruntled morbid apostates.

And the hands holding him as the preciousness of Islam -The Muslim Child.

Above his head is a hand that was making him turn towards camera but for me it is a hand of the Unseen Lord ever protecting his loved ones..

Idd Mubarak to all of you..

  

Por supuesto tampoco podrían faltar los omnipresentes Carboneros, en este caso con ese fondo de tonos marrones que aportan las hojas y helechos secos durante el otoño y el invierno.

The Tetons explode across the horizon. The Rockies define every space they are apart of. But The Sierra Nevada? The Sierra Nevada are omnipresent. The Sierra Nevada allow you to get lost as you ascend. They are massive and all encompassing, even when you’re high in their elevation, there is still more to see beyond where you’ve already scrambled to be. Look up and there are higher peaks to see. Look down and valleys stretch, like arms, toward streams and lakes, and further rock walls. From Yosemite, to King’s Canyon, to Sequoia, the Sierra Nevada are grand. Each park and landmark and place in this mountain chain reminds me of an extravagant room in a massive and extraordinary castle. All together? The Sierra Nevada sparkles. This shot was taken at Moro Rock, at sunset, as the crowds left, and quiet descended upon the mountains. Their glow as the sun and heat left them, and the quiet and coolness of the night crept in, will stay with me forever.

At first I thought this was one of the omnipresent alder leaf beetles (Plagiosterna aenea), but then I saw that the shape wasn't right. Now, I am almost completely convinced this instead is a brassy willow beetle (Phratora vitellinae) munching away happily on a leaf.

Look who stepped in my frame this afternoon !

 

I was taking pictures of a Madonna poster to make someting artsy out of it in my new polaroid accidental reduction style, when out of nowhere our omnipresent uncle stepped in.

 

From behind his glasses he told me he will visit the Amsterdam Arena on 2 september.

"My old roomy Donna called," he said with twinkel eyes, "and she'll send me backstage passes for her sweet and sour sticky floorshow. "

 

Hazel is not interested in Madonna, Herb explained. Madonna is in Kaballa, and Hazel is in Hoodoo. So in september Herb'll team up with some old buddies and go for meeting and greeting Lady Superstar.

 

Oow, ol Herbs a lucky dog.

The driver of EWS Transrail-branded 56070, with his cab window open, is undoubtedly enjoying a fabulous summer's day at Hunt Cliff, between Skinningrove and Saltburn, but the omnipresent clouds bubbling up over the sea and coastline made for a nail-biting wait, a fully sunlit shot not being absolutely assured. However, all worked out well in the end on 2nd August 2002, as the Class 56 'Grid' groaned up the grade from Crag Hall and on towards Redcar with its eight loaded potash/polyhalite hopper wagons, forming the 6F66 Boulby to Tees Dock diagram.

I do not recall a location where I have heard so many Swainson's Thrushes.... They were omnipresent in Manning Park, we could hear them any time during the day and practically on all the trails.... It was a little more challenging to see them... especially in the open. Early morning at Sunrise was the time of day when our efforts were best rewarded. In fact, this one looks almost as sleepy as the photographer was :)

Another frame of this spot which is one of the prettiest rail photo locations in this smallest of states.

 

This spot is such a great location for photo run bys and a highlight of any trip along the line so here's another angle for the album of my day out with the Mass Bay RRE's Narragansett Bay Special which made a round trip over the entire thirteen mile length of the Newport Secondary.

 

The train consisted of two GE centercabs, Newport and Narragansett Bay Railroad numbers 14 and 66 and the five car regular dinner train consist.

 

The latter is freshly repainted into the very attractive paint scheme featuring colors that pay homage to the state of Rhode Island and the omnipresent sea. It wears a newly applied logo for the Grand Bellevue Dinner Train for which it is the regular power. A GE 65-tonner, it was built in 1943 and was most recently numbered USN 65-00566 where it served with a sister unit at the Portsmouth Navy Yard until being replaced with a trackmobile several years ago. In 2024 she and sister unit USN 65-00308, two years her junior, were purchased by Eric Moffett and turcked to Rhode Island with the the 65-00308 being assigned to the Seaview Railroad freight operations at Quonset Business Park.

 

She is coupled to diner lounge BC-30 which a Budd RDC-3 built in 1956 for the Pacific Great East Railway. The self propelled car was one of seven the railroad bought which passed to BC Rail and remained in daily scheduled passenger service until discontinued by the province of British Columbia in 2002. It and sister BC-15 spent a couple years on the short lived Wilton Scenic Railroad in New Hampshire before coming to the island in 2007. The car is in the process of being remodeled into a dining car and bar with the headlights and horn operational and used as a shoving platform from the cab.

 

The train is performing a photo run by in the backyards of some pretty waterfront homes just south of the Bristol Ferry Road crossing at about MP 10.8, which would have been MP 19.2 as measured from Myricks and the junction with the New Bedford mainline back in PC and early CR days.

 

Rising beyond is the Mount Hope Bridge which opened in 1929 spanning Mount Hope Bay at one of the narrowest gaps in all of Narragansett Bay. The two-lane suspension bridge bridge connects the towns of Portsmouth and Bristol and is part of Route 114. Its towers are 285 feet tall, the length of the main span is 1,200 feet, and it provides 135 feet of clearance over high water with a total length of 6,130 feet.

 

This village is named Bristol Ferry because from 1640 in the early colonial days until the opening of the bridge a ferry was operated here. In the 19th century the ferry landing had both rail and trolley connections, and it remained in continuous service almost three centuries until finally becoming obsolete when this span opened to traffic. To learn more here's a neat blog with stories and photos and a history of the ferry: portsmouthhistorynotes.com/tag/bristol-ferry-area/

Seems like cats never get bored with strings. All you need is a new one to get them started again. LOL...

 

Happy FURRY FRIDAY!!!

Le quartier du Petit Champlain repose au pied du Cap Diamant à Québec. Son nom vient de la rue du Petit-Champlain, une rue étroite dont les maisons à l'ouest longent la falaise.

S'ajoutent les rues Sous-le-Fort, du Cul-de-Sac, du Marché-Champlain et une partie de la rue Notre-Dame et du boulevard Champlain.

Des artisans et des commerçants se sont regroupés en coopérative en 1985 et y tiennent des boutiques. Les décorations soulignant fêtes populaires ou grands rassemblements sont omniprésentes mais particulièrement féériques durant la période de Noël.

"It's been so lonely without you here

Like a bird without a song

Nothing can stop these lonely tears from falling

Tell me baby where did I go wrong

I could put my arms around every boy I see

But they'd only remind me of you"

 

**Invites will be deleted. Sorry!**

Here, on the Salar de Uyuni, bolivia, largest salt flats and one of the most breathtaking place on Earth, the feeling of being lost is omnipresent even though how can could you ever lose yourself in a place where you can see as far as the horizon?

The wind and the cold, the omnipresent sense of insignificance, it all somehow creates a feeling of peace. Humans are strange creatures in the way that places of inhospitable isolation often provide a true sense of calm. It says a lot about the evolutionary search for beauty over practicality, and the in-built desire to seek new pastures well before the old ones have lost productivity. Despite this we seem to repeatedly lock ourselves in cages of our own making while we push our heads against the glass wishing we were on the other side.

.. sulle montagne alte, fiere, onnipresenti, sorvolando le vallate orfane di alberi, libero da ostacoli, salutare le sperdute case amiche prima di vederlo improvvisamente scomparire e sorpresi seguirlo con lo sguardo nel suo dirompente balzo nell'oceano.

Quand j’ai soif

d’enfance et de soleil

sur la mer

c’est toi que je vais voir

lieu où se donnent rendez-vous

pêle-mêle

en un joyeux désordre

la liberté des souvenirs

et l’éternité des morts

Attiré par tes lumières

qui chassent

la sidération de vivre

je vois et entends passer

les comètes

de ton omniprésence

Le divin parle

en toi

et ses oracles

me rassurent

Mémoire mon refuge

qui malgré la cruauté des jours

sans cesse me fait

ses déclarations

d’amour

A ratos lluvia, a ratos algo de resol y el verde primaveral omnipresente, sólo encontramos a una persona, no era fin de semana, claro. Saludos.

I sit on the floor of the hut and write in a notebook with a pencil on a rope.

My travel notebook turned into an illustrated dictionary of the Kaluf-Aup language.

I draw, people guess the words, and I come up with their writing in an have no alphabet language. This is how the game turned out.

A trip to the forest, where a closed community lives in isolation, is not so much a romantic adventure as it is self-improvement.

 

The first thing you need to understand is: can you like it ? Can you enjoy a simple, hard life full of self-restraint? The rather meager local diet requires abandoning the usual way of life.

Dirt, constantly wet clothes, constant possibility of getting sick, constant omnipresent insects...

And in these external circumstances, you need to work, you need to maintain inner comfort.

Then you can be genuinely interested in people.

Then you will have the opportunity to be interesting to people

"Conçu en 1993, ce parc contemporain s'étend sur 19 ha et complète agréablement les hortillonnages, dont il n'est séparé que par un boulevard. L'eau omniprésente (miroirs, bassins, jardins humides) et la végétation (aulnes et saules notamment) y composent un tableau inspiré des paysages picards, de la vallée de la Somme particulièrement. DE SES ALLEES, BELLES VUES SUR LA CATHEDRALE." (Le Guide Vert Picardie)

Gardens by the Bay (« jardins près de la baie ») est un parc naturel urbain situé dans le centre de Singapour.

 

S'étendant sur 101 ha et abritant près de 20 000 espèces différentes de plantes, ce parc fait partie d'une stratégie du gouvernement singapourien visant à transformer la « ville-jardin » en une « ville dans un jardin », avec comme objectif déclaré d'améliorer la qualité de vie en améliorant la verdure et la flore de la cité-État. Cité où la verdure omniprésente fait partie intégrante de son paysage urbain, les espaces verts couvrant plus de 50 % de son territoire.

“I learned from childhood to dance in the rain

I learned to hide behind an enigmatic smile

I learned to hide my feelings; my pain

but now grown I'm still learning that I can go that extra mile

to share my experiences; to tell you my stories; some complex; some plain

no matter how tough each day may be

I am here to tell you that all things are worthwhile.” - AP

THIS IS THE SOUND OF SURVIVING – NICHOLE NORDEMAN

 

May I tell you about the light

the wonderful light I see

the light that is within everything

the light in you and in me

 

It's a beautiful thing to behold

sometimes it's silver; sometimes it's gold

sometimes it's iridescent as oil in a puddle

I am amazed as I feel it grow and unfold

 

It soothes my heart and warms my soul

makes every step seem lighter

it breathes new life into my being

though dark clouds loom the light shines brighter

 

My thoughts are far away today

and yet something keeps bringing me back

to be omnipresent is a marvellous gift

I run myself ragged trying to make up for all that I lack

 

But really there is no need to worry

I must settle my mind; bring peace to my day

this tendency I have to procrastinate and worry

whittles my spirit; erodes time away

 

The wind is howling; it beckons to me

I look out of the window and it's clear to see

the most beautiful light blows the cobwebs away

and I hear a small voice saying to me

 

Look to the light; bring all that is you

life is given to live and enjoy everything

don't wish for more when you have all you need

give thanks and be grateful; let your spirit rise up and sing

 

So I sing and I dance and I watch my cats play

and I sit and write these few humble words

then I look to the skylight; watch the clouds tumbling by

all things are transient; fly away like the birds

 

This body is temporary but my soul is whole

I will never be perfect but so what

there is beauty and light surrounding my world

I should be content with all that I've got

 

So next time I see a shooting star or a rainbow

I'll still make a wish; still utter a prayer

but in my heart and my soul I am certain in this moment

that I am already blessed and this feeling will always be there

 

It's like an epiphany; that one defining moment

when your stars all align and everything feels right

It is fleeting but I cling to it and try to hold on

I want to feel it forever; feel it each day and throughout every night

 

Every day I've decided to remind myself of it

let nothing disturb me or turn me about

can I change; can I really stop constantly worrying

maybe not, but still I am willing and keen to find out …

PERSONAL CHALLENGE : 2. MACRO & LIGHT

 

Wish you all a very happy weekend, dear friends <3

A few days ago, I went exploring the Vallée des Fantômes, with my brother Renald(lefion) and my friend Julien (Abo)...we were alone on the summit for about 2 hours....it was a magical experience that I will never forget.

The «Vallée des Fantômes»

The phantoms inhabit the valley at an altitude of 800 metres near the clear peaks. The trees are so well protected from winds that blowing snow from nearby summits causes up to three metres of snow accumulation, decking out the evergreens with a layer of soft snow that eventually camouflages them completely. These are the phantoms. It is guaranteed that you will experience a total change of scenery! After a good snowfall, the atmosphere is muted, the ground seems to be carpeted in cotton batten and the silence is omnipresent.
