Persistence and the good fortune to be able to travel widely in the UK and abroad will ensure that I remain a major contributor to CRWDP and similar sites. Today, I am posting five pictures from the Brighton area.

Sculpture

Dali Historian
(Mr. Chimera worked directly with Dali Museum founder Reynolds Morse, as the publicity director of the original Dali Museum when it was located in Beachwood, Ohio.
Eureka! Your Salvador Dali Society, Inc. blogger has suddenly come up with an entirely new interpretation of Dali’s iconic and immortal “soft watch!” This is a historical moment, so hold onto your surreal seats, dear readers, as I don’t know – as a Dali historian and writer, who’s studied the artist’s work and life for more than 45 years – if this interpretation has ever quite been stated before:
The dripping, melting watch suggest that time is running out!
Like an ice cube, let’s say, that drips, drips, drips to oblivion, so too does the reality of life mean that, with every ticking second, time is running out. Life is running out. Our time here is finite, short, precious, ever-changing, ever-shortening!
And, of course, interpretation gets supplanted by fact when we consider this: Salvador Dali’s soft watch motif has made for not only his most universally famous painting, “The Persistence of Memory” of 1931, but also arguably the single most famous work of art of the entire 20th century.
So here, a single watch, flopped over a tree branch…dripping…melting…forms the basis for one of Salvador Dali’s most important sculptural pieces. DaVinci had his Mona Lisa. Warhol had his soup cans. Dali – his remarkable watches. Said Dali: Hard or soft, the principal thing is that the watch gives the exact time.”
Astonishing fact: Dali didn’t wear a watch. Not only did he not need to know himself what time it was – he had others to depend on for that – but it may be entirely true that he didn’t quite know how to tell time! Just as he had no real concept of what a particular denomination of money was worth.
Such is the unique life of geniuses.

They flash on and off at high speed, so when waved about produce a message.
This new version has a little switch on the breadboard, when pressed it flashes the message once. This allows me to just have the message go by on the correct swing direction, and also makes it a LOT easier to get a good photograph.
I'm looking at using an accelerometer to do the same, but it would be able to automatically detect direction and speed and hopefully compensate to get a 'perfect' display.
Each of us has events and circumstances that shape our lives and for the most part we have an idea of what's ahead and react accordingly as the events play out in front of us... there is laughter mixed with tears as we experience the wonders of this life. We all know that someplace down the road the challenges will become greater... and when they arrive we are still shocked that the time has passed so quickly... the kids have grown up and are starting families of their own... and those stairs take a little more concentration and effort to climb. In my life I've had days like the one represented by this sunrise which was taken two years ago down in Mexico. It was dark and the remnants of the previous night's storm still lingered as I looked out over the ocean in the direction I knew the sun would come up... only there were so many clouds that I was sure that nothing worthy of capturing with the camera was going to happen this day, so I just sat down on the sand and enjoyed the sound of the waves gently washing the beach in front of me. Again, my human nature of seeing and focusing on the negative almost convinced me to head back to the room for some more sleep... but as you can see the strength and persistence of the sun was stronger than my flesh and as I sat alone on the sand I was presented again with it's glory. Friends, dark times come into our lives and if we persist just a little more I'm convinced that God will allow His light to shine in our lives again. Let's encourage each other on this day of rest to pause and look at all of the reasons we have to be thankful...
This is for my Mom, whom I sat with on a Thanksgiving day several years ago as she lost her battle with cancer. I am thankful for all that she taught me over the years... I love you Mom...

I admired the tenacity of the grasses still growing out of the soil clump stuck to a felled tree. As long as they keep getting rain, they will likely persist for some time! [Windsor, Cumberland Plain, NSW]
The Disintegration of the Persistence of Memory (1952–54) by Salvador Dalí revisits his earlier masterpiece, The Persistence of Memory (1931), placing melting watches in a fragmented, post-war atomic-age landscape. The scene incorporates an elaborate grid of bricks and missile-like rhino horns, symbols of nature’s perfect order. Dalí’s work reflects on the impermanence of time and the era’s nuclear anxieties, blending surrealist dreamscapes with modern concerns.
Dalí: Disruption and Devotion, an exhibit on display at the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston from July 6 to December 1, 2024, juxtaposes nearly 30 paintings and prints on loan from the Salvador Dalí Museum in St. Petersburg, Florida, with European masterpieces from the MFA’s collection.
The Museum of Fine Arts was founded in 1870 and relocated to its current neoclassical building designed by architect Guy Lowell at 465 Huntington Avenue in 1909. The museum's vast collection spans over 500,000 works of art, with highlights including ancient Egyptian artifacts, 18th- and 19th-century American art, French Impressionist and Post-Impressionist masterpieces, and a renowned collection of Asian art. Originally located in a Gothic Revival building in Copley Square, much of the museum’s early collection came from the Boston Athenaeum Art Gallery. Over the years, the museum expanded significantly, adding the Decorative Arts Wing in 1968, the Norman Jean Calderwood Garden Court and Terrace in 1997, and a modern Americas Wing in the mid-2000s designed by Foster and Partners.
After nearly a year of asking Peckham Post Office to replace the post box which was removed during a refurbishment, a new one is finally installed. Many thanks to Fiona Colley for her help with this. Now I just need one outside Camberwell Post Office :)
