L'Homme et la Mer

Homme libre, toujours tu chériras la mer!

La mer est ton miroir; tu contemples ton âme

Dans le déroulement infini de la lame,

Et ton esprit n'est pas un gouffre moins amer.

Charles Baudelaire

Pendant de longues années, la fauvette a été un oiseau très répandu en Europe, mais sa population a subi une forte chute à la fin des années soixante et au début des années soixante-dix. La cause en est la sécheresse de ses quartiers d'hiver africains situés au Sahel dans l'Ouest africain. Après cette diminution des effectifs, l'espèce semble en voie de se reconstituer, mais elle reste très vulnérable aux changements climatiques.

La fauvette apprécie les haies, les buissons et les espaces ouverts, et n'est donc pas un oiseau des jardins. C'est un oiseau migrateur régulier et il lui arrive lors de ses vols de visiter un jardin, surtout au printemps ou en automne.

**********************************************************************

For many years, the warbler was a widespread bird in Europe, but its population fell sharply in the late sixties and early seventies. The cause is the drought of its African winter quarters located in the Sahel in West Africa. After this decline in numbers, the species appears to be recovering, but remains highly vulnerable to climate change.

The warbler appreciates hedges, bushes and open spaces, and is therefore not a garden bird. It is a regular migratory bird and it happens during its flights to visit a garden, especially in spring or autumn.

This pendant in a shop window caught my eye as the light was being refracted. I moved around it to obtain the most pleasing colours.

Refraction: A ray of light of one wavelength, or colour (different wavelengths appear as different colours to the human eye), in passing from air to glass is refracted, or bent, by an amount that depends on its speed in air and glass, the two speeds depending on the wavelength. A ray of sunlight is composed of many wavelengths that in combination appear to be colourless. Upon entering a glass prism, the different refractions of the various wavelengths spread them apart as in a rainbow.

Forgotten Chapel

Pendant un instant, tout ce que je vis, c’étaient des orages prêt à éclater et la pluie jaillir, laissant le soleil glisser derrière les nuages.

Pendant un instant J’ai eu l’impression de pouvoir attraper l’air, entortiller les nuages et me laisser glisser le long de l’arc en ciel...

Il gusto non è prerogativa degli stilisti, bisogna averlo anche nel coprire i motori !!

Macro Mondays, July 24, 2017, Theme Three

Originally from 'a church in Edinburgh', we picked up half a dozen of these rather lovely glass pendants from Holyrood Architectural Salvage, swapped out the old plastic cable for some new woven red flex, and found some three-way enamel ceiling roses. (Both flex and roses came from Enamel Lampshades.) Isn't that timber and metal top piece nice? No idea what the church replaced them with...

The hardboard spacers there are temporary while we agree on exactly what shape we like best - Alison quite likes this or maybe a more pure triangle, and I wonder about a simple circular ring. Either way, they'll end up getting cut from some nice plywood, I think...

...At any rate, it's rather different to the kind of lighting design I normally do at work, and also fun to play around with something so decorative on this project for a change!
