The present windmill on Brill Common in Buckinghamshire, was probably erected sometime in the 1680s. Although not quite the oldest windmill in England, it is one of the best preserved of the dozen or so 17th century post-mills still standing. A post-mill is a mill in which the whole structure revolves around a central post in order to face the wind.

Exhibition Anselm Kiefer - Sag mir wo die Blumen sind
For the first time in their history, the Van Gogh Museum and the Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam are joining forces to stage a major exhibition of one of the most important artists of our time: Anselm Kiefer. The exhibition, which opens in spring 2025, places Kiefer centre stage. From his childhood, Kiefer has had a special connection to the work of Vincent van Gogh. To this day, Kiefer's admiration for Van Gogh is visibly present in his work. He also has a long, personal history with the Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam. The museum bought and displayed his work from the beginning, giving Kiefer recognition for his art.
Especially for this exhibition, Kiefer has created new works that have never been seen before. Of course, popular favourites from the collections of both museums are also on display. At the Van Gogh Museum, famous paintings by Vincent van Gogh will be shown along with works by Kiefer. At the Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam, you will see all the Kiefers from the collection together for the first time. The title of the exhibition, Sag mir wo die Blumen sind, refers to the anti-war song of the same name by American folk singer and activist Pete Seeger, which later became widely known in a German rendition by Marlene Dietrich. The title also refers to Kiefer’s new work of the same name to be shown at the Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam, and to Vincent van Gogh’s Sunflowers.
Anselm Kiefer (b. 1945, Donaueschingen, Germany) was born in the closing months of World War II. In the late 1960s, Kiefer was one of the first German artists to address the country’s fraught history in monumental, acerbic works for which he sustained intense criticism in his homeland. In the Netherlands, his work first gained recognition among collectors and museums like the Stedelijk. Later, Kiefer would be hailed for breaking the silence surrounding Germany’s past. His work reflects on themes such as history, mythology, philosophy, literature, alchemy, and landscape.
Os presento a mi pequeña Katniss Everdeen. Y doy las gracias a Akai por hacerme un custom tan bonito, haciendo el maqui lo más parecido a la protagonista de Los Juegos del Hambre. Y a Puppelina por hacerme a medida sus ojitos, del mismo color.
Estoy encantada con ella. He querido sacar una foto de primer plano para presentárosla y que viérais qué bonita ha quedado.
En esta foto va con el outfit que llevaba en la primera parte de la saga. La ropa que se ponía para salir de caza por los exteriores del Distrito 12, y la cazadora de su padre. Ya le haré fotos de cuerpo entero para que la veáis bien.
Espero que os guste.
Voy a dedicarle esta foto a Felicity (Estefi) porque cumplió años hace poquito y le debía una foto especial jeje, y como sé que es seguidora de esta saga se la dedico especialmente ;)
Y ahora me voy a ver el estreno de Sinsajo 2! Qué ganitas!!
¡Que la suerte esté siempre, siempre de vuestra parte! ^^
A stump most likely leftover from the eruption 31 years ago. Lots of new growth trying to replenish the landscape. This area was stripped clean by a Lahar during the eruption. Mount St. Helens. I was fishing on a lake in Central Oregon and heard the eruption from there.
Detail from a site specific work I really enjoyed at the Stedelijk Museum in Amsterdam.
The work is by Barbara Kruger (1945), an American conceptual artist and collagist, whose work often employs ironic quotes, questions and paraphrases to challenge and stimulate the viewer and question mass culture’s representations of power, identity and sexuality.
Within the art piece, you are immersed in room sized text. The whole piece covered an immense area.

a bright full moon rose
seeming near enough to touch
perigee present
~Mim Eisenberg
I shot this last night from my front yard without a tripod. It's by no means a great photo, but it is a shot of the full moon that is the brightest of 2008 because it is at perigee, the closest it gets to Earth in its orbit around it. In fact, it is the closest perigee since 1993, at just 221,560 miles from Earth. Its farthest apogee will be on December 26, when it will be 252,650 miles away.
I hope to catch up with you later, but I may be preoccupied with an unpleasant task: trying to stop a spoofer who, though one of my listservs, has appropriated some addresses, including mine (which is on a Mac!) and is using it to send virus-infected spam. If I don't get back to you today, please understand and know how much I appreciate your visits.
EDIT: I've learned that it was just one person who happens to be on the listserv whose address book was breached. Nevertheless, all the addresses in that address book are now in the hands of the spammer, even those that are on a Mac. There's little that can be done. Fortunately, I've been made aware of just one spam message containing a virus-infected attachment that was sent by a spoofer impersonating me, or using my address as the return address.

Fog adds to the moodiness of this area and slips me back into a time past....love this area and spend a good deal of time wandering through here....especially when the moody element of the day or season is in full swing. Nothing like the charm of today and yesteryear to merge...

The Christmas present I get every year from the man closest to my heart is very special. He always knows exactly what I want! Last year it was these beautiful cosy brown knee boots.
Sadly there was no good occasion to wear them last winter. By the time I was outside again it was too warm for boots so they had to wait until late autumn.
This is a screen grab from a video of a shopping trip so the quality is poor, but I hope to have better pics this winter.
[I moved this cabinet card up to the head of the line because somebody favorited it today, and many of my new followers probably haven't seen it. When it comes to pure greatness, here you are. This is just a fabulous cabinet card. I paid a pretty penny for it back in the day, like, a lot of money, but I still think it was money well spent. A relative of Mrs. Robinson contacted me to tell me about her, but thank goodness she didn't want the photo back. I fall in love quite easily. I fell in love with Mrs. Robinson, and though my hopes are unrequited, I am still her eternal slave.]
I bought this card from an Internet dealer (not Ebay). He had posted the card, as he does every two weeks, and put a price on it, and no one had bought it. The photos are posted on Sunday, and the first person who says he will pay the money gets the photo. I told the dealer I was tempted, and he emailed back and urged me to buy it. Naturally, I ended up buying it, even though it was priced very high. I've paid more for a photo, but that was on Ebay. I'm not going to say how much I paid for this, but it was a lot.
On the one hand, you could say I overpaid. I mean, it's just a photo of a woman looking in a mirror. The photo has some fingerprint smudges, it's kind of plain, barren, there's not a lot going on, and though I find this woman attractive enough, she's not a stunning (a favorite Ebay seller's word) beauty. I mean, it's just a nice photograph---why did I waste my money?
I paid that money because the photograph is astonishingly modern. It's like the past leapfrogged the present and jumped into the future. I mean, this woman is dead, and there she is, looking right at us, right now, not a hundred years ago, or however long ago it was.
Did she know that we would be looking at her? Why isn't she smiling? I think she isn't smiling because she's saying "I Lived." She's saying, "I'm Living." She's saying, "I'm Alive." And of course she's not alive. But she is alive.
Perhaps I bought the photograph because it distills into a single artifact so much of what draws me to old photographs (and yes, of course, I find her attractive).
I don't think the seller had done a lot of research on Wirt Robinson. Maybe one of you who has access to genealogical resources could find her first name for me. Perhaps there was more than one "Wirt Robinson." However, I found information on only one, and since the one I found was a good one, I didn't look any further.
Wirt Robinson was in the Army, and he taught at West Point. He wrote a book which seems to be still in print, with the wonderful title "Notes On The Circumstances Of A Moving Projectile." Apparently, when he wasn't teaching at West Point, he was off in the tropics, looking at birds. Somewhere (ART_NAHPRO perhaps will find it for us) there is a book he wrote, or illustrated, about birds in the forests of Venezuela. How he could have borne the absence of Mrs. Wirt Robinson is beyond me. Perhaps the experience of her was so rich, so filling, so extravagant, that he could only take a little bit at a time, like foie gras or something. From the looks of things, I would guess that Mrs. Robinson was extremely sensitive in that little square inch just behind her ear lobe. They say that the universe is so vast that out there somewhere there is another planet where they speak English. If that is so, perhaps there is another planet out there where Mrs. Robinson and mrwaterslide might meet and fall in love (of course, not-wanting her to be Mrs. Robinson, but Amelia Arnold, or whatever her maiden name was.)
I have this idea of what Wirt Robinson was like. He must have been an academic sort of fellow, but, like Mr. Chips, he was that lucky fellow who met the love of his life, and won her heart, as she had won his. Unlike Mr. Chips, I hope his love endured in the earthly realm, and lasted to old age. There would have been fires in the fireplace, and sherry, and croquet perhaps, and the triumphs and sadnesses of students who came and went (it seems that Wirt Robinson lived in to the 20's though I haven't found a date of death.)
One last little tidbit, that I saw once and now can't find again---apparently at West Point there is a little memorial to Wirt Robinson, and it seems, though I haven't been able to find a picture, that it is a statue of a bunch of ducks. I really hope you're allowed to go there and see it.

A scientific theory should it only predict the results of experiments on the world or should it also explain it? The question of accessibility of the real is asked.
Une théorie scientifique doit-elle seulement prédire les résultats des expériences sur le monde ou doit-elle aussi expliquer ce dernier ? La question de l'accessibilité du réel se trouve posée.

Thisr panel is about time and communication. The floating woman is the muse of radio and represents the middle of the day. Pegasus, the winged horse, moves in union with her. The torch she carries is symbolic of knowledge. The lightening bolt symbolizes the power of electricity and the immediate availability of radio communication.
mijn cadeau voor vandaag :). We hebben een behoorlijk eind door het bos gelopen om deze te spotten en te fotograferen. Dat lukt niet helemaal ondanks prachtige paringsrituelen boven het water. Dit cadeau zat op onze auto toen we terug kwamen. Dank! #positiviteit
