Pollock Halls of Residence are the main halls of residence for the University of Edinburgh, located at the foot of Arthur's Seat in Holyrood Park, Edinburgh, Scotland.
Taking an old, unused "Pano-Sabotage ( TumbleWorld ) piece from last Spring ( 2015 ) and subjecting it to photo manipulation to express the explosion of colour that Spring is. My 'take' is a visionary one as opposed to a pure recording. In my mind, this is how I see these things. ( This version created May 5, 2016 ).
Again, the pixelation provides a few themes - an open admission of the digital medium from which this image sprang and where it resides, a contrast to the irregularity and "irrationality" of Nature, a springboard from which to see that contrast leap, and an understanding that we somehow need a balance of both.
Jackson Pollock and Ad Reinhardt run smack into each other. ;-)

Music Link: "Lux" - Brian Eno, from his album "Lux". This is a 4 minute plus edit that was played online on Nov. 17, 2012, four times that day. Each playing was meant to coincide with four periods of the day, Sunrise, Morning, Afternoon and Night. This specific project was called "Day of Light".
Photographers from all over the world were invited to register on Eno's website and to participate by sending images in that were shot ONLY while "Lux" was performed. So unless you were fast, your images were pretty unprocessed.
As a registered participant, you were able to send in as many images as you wished, one after another. Eno and his staff were standing by, capturing submissions and then showing them as visuals to the performance of "Lux". Once submitted, there was a short lag, followed by an automatic email confirmation that your piece was accepted and was in queue to be played. It was very exciting. So each photographer could rightly say that they had collaborated with Brian Eno on the "Day of Light" project.
I was one of those photographers. 3 of my shots were used. Since thousands of submissions were tendered, it's not surprising that none of my three made the final cut that you see here. No matter. I am proud to have participated in the actual event.
Light - bright, heaven-like radiance, being the main support and substrate of my image here, I chose "Lux" as accompaniment for that reason and also to remember my participation in the "Day of Light" project. "The Bursting Life" ... was NOT one of the images used.

Here it is another picture that continues the concept expressed along with the photo posted yesterday. The subject is no longer a glacier, but a rock, partially covered by the typical red lichens.
Shot taken in the Col du Mont Cenis area (2.083 m) under the dim evening light, which, in my opinion, makes it possible to appreciate the close parallelism between the natural geometry of these blooms and the abstract expressionism of modern painting.
Perhaps not everyone's cup of tea, anyhow, even considering that this is and remains a rock, I can't help but see reminiscences of the Pollock's style :-)

Brief trip to London today to pick up a couple of new lenses for our Fuji X system cameras (the 60mm and 55-200mm if you are interested). On the way from St Pancras to Wells Street I passed this little gem of a place just off Tottenham Court Road.
