Irises
is one of many paintings and prints of irises by the Dutch artist Vincent van Gogh. Irises was painted while Vincent van Gogh was living at the asylum at Saint Paul-de-Mausole in Saint-Rémy-de-Provence, France, in the last year before his death in 1890.
It was painted before his first attack at the asylum. There is a lack of the high tension which is seen in his later works. He called the painting "the lightning conductor for my illness" because he felt that he could keep himself from going insane by continuing to paint.
The painting was influenced by Japanese ukiyo-e woodblock prints like many of his works and those by other artists of the time. The similarities occur with strong outlines, unusual angles, including close-up views, and also flattish local colour (not modelled according to the fall of light).
He considered this painting a study which is probably why there are no known drawings for it, although Theo, Van Gogh's brother, thought better of it and quickly submitted it to the annual exhibition of the Société des Artistes Indépendants in September 1889, together with Starry Night Over the Rhone. He wrote to Vincent of the exhibition: "[It] strikes the eye from afar. The Irises are a beautiful study full of air and life."
Vincent Willem van Gogh Dutch:
(30 March 1853 – 29 July 1890) was a Dutch post-Impressionist painter whose work had far-reaching influence on 20th-century art. His output includes portraits, self portraits, landscapes, still lifes, olive trees and cypresses, wheat fields and sunflowers. Critics largely ignored his work until after his presumed suicide in 1890. His short life, expressive and spontaneous use of vivid colours, broad oil brushstrokes and emotive subject matter, mean he is recognisable both in the modern public imagination as the quintessential misunderstood genius.
was born to religious upper middle class parents. He was driven as an adult by a strong sense of purpose, but was also thoughtful and intellectual; he was equally aware of modernist currents in art, music and literature. He was well travelled and spent several years in his 20s working for a firm of art dealers in The Hague, London and Paris, after which he taught in England at Isleworth and Ramsgate. He drew as a child, but spent years drifting in ill health and solitude, and did not paint until his late twenties. Most of his best-known works were completed during the last two years of his life. Deeply religious as a younger man, he worked from 1879 as a missionary in a mining region in Belgium where he sketched people from the local community. His first major work was 1885's The Potato Eaters, from a time when his palette mainly consisted of sombre earth tones and showed no sign of the vivid colouration that distinguished his later paintings. In March 1886, he moved to Paris and discovered the French Impressionists. Later, he moved to the south of France and was inspired by the region's strong sunlight. His paintings grew brighter in colour, and he developed the unique and highly recognisable style that became fully realised during his stay in Arles in 1888. In just over a decade, he produced more than 2,100 artworks, including around 860 oil paintings. After years of anxiety and frequent bouts of mental illness he died aged 37 from a self-inflicted gunshot wound. The extent to which his mental health affected his painting has been widely debated.
The widespread and popular realisation of his significance in the history of modern art began after his adoption by the early 20th-century German Expressionists and Fauves. Despite a widespread tendency to romanticise his ill health, art historians see an artist deeply frustrated by the inactivity and incoherence caused by frequent mental sickness. His posthumous reputation grew steadily; a romanticised version developed in the 20 years after his death when seen as an important but overlooked artist compared to other members of his generation. His reputation advanced with the emergence of the Fauvist movement in Europe and post WWII American respect for symbols of "heroic individualism" that was attractive to early US modernists and especially to the highly successful abstract expressionists of the 1950s; New York's MOMA launched major retrospectives early in the rehabilitation of his reputation, and made large acquisitions. By this stage his standing as a great artist and the romanticism of his life were firmly established.

Millstrean River early thaw, in front of the Camp à Daniel about 12 miles West of my home. We've had exceptionally warm weather for the last 3 days with rain for the last two. However, this early thaw is nothing but a teaser, the worst part of winter is still to come.
The Black Tigers , like this one in the picture,are Pseudo-melanistic tigers.Meaning they are not completely black,but having thick stripes so close together that the tawny background is barely visible between stripes. Such tigers are said to be due to inbreeding (like mating between a white Tiger & a Bengal Tiger).
Now , capturing this Tiger on lens & doing some background research on Black Tigers first drew my attention to cryptozoology.
Pitch-black Tigers were reported several times in past from Cardoman Hills of southern India (1895) , Lushai Hills of Assam (1928) & a "black Tiger with stripes" as described by Mishmi tribespeople near Assam Himalayas in the 1960's. If there is really an animal like a pitch black Tiger out there somewhere,I hope science discovers it soon.
As for my experience meeting this boy,it was bloody awesome.

El sobri aspecte exterior de l'església de San Maurizio al Monastero Maggiore amaga un dels tresors més sorprenents de Milà. Les seves parets es troben recobertes íntegrament per preciosos frescos el s. XVI fabulosament conservats.
Abançant a través de l'església es descobreixen les seves dues seccions: la primera reservada als feligresos i una segona exclusiva per les monjes. En aquesta segona secció, a més dels frescos, destaquen un magnífic cor de fusta i un orgue del s. XVI que, excepcionalment, es mantè practicament inalterat des de la seva construcció.

Let me introduce you to another new discovery on the Paria Plateau I tentatively call Pseudo-Escalante. You're walking on a relatively flat prairie, when suddenly the ground in front of you has given way to a canyon that becomes hundreds of feet deep within a half mile. We'll look down into it next time. See details in the notes.
I think this canyon could make for quite an adventure hike with some challenging obstacles below. It's also another way to make it to the Lost City (see photos), although Tongue Valley (right, out of frame) is probably easier.
This spot is about 1.5 miles from the nearest road. For directions, send me a FlickrMail.

Description
A young man stands statuesque in the foreground, framed tightly from the waist up, against the backdrop of a barely visible stone bastion. He leans on the shaft of his halberd with a firm grip of his right hand, while his left hand is proudly placed on his hip. His clothing is extremely elegant, starting with his red trousers, the belt from which his sword hangs, highlighting his very slim waist, his puffed jacket, a gold chain necklace, a white shirt with puffed cuffs, and a red cap with a feather and a gem depicting Hercules and Antaeus pinned to it with a brooch.
The different materials are rendered with extraordinary pictorial skill, from the burnished metal of the sword hilt to the leather of the belt, the grained wood of the halberd shaft, and the silky texture of the folds of the jacket sleeves, reminiscent of Raphael's style.

my first roll through a very used minolta hi-matic 9.
found it at a flea-market. it sounded mechanically correct and the optics were unknown but i bought it anyway.
i manually metered: sunny ..125 at 11 and so on. i placed a battery in the clean battery compartment and it works…kinda. tops out when exposed to sunlight and drops down to 8 when light is lowered
not too bad for a camera that was made in late 1960’s and not well-kept, but i have faith in minolta.
of course i used some tweaking, but still, the original isn’t bad
The Skútustaðagígar pseudo craters are called pseudo craters as they are not caused by the actual explosion of volcanos, but are a byproduct of their flowing lava.
This natural phenomenon takes place when piping hot lava flows over cool, wet grounds and pressurizes the earth downwards. This causes steam to be trapped under the weight of the lava, producing extreme pressure. When this pressure becomes too great, steam explosions are triggered, creating depressions in the ground to form these mesmerizing pseudo craters. The Skútustaðagígar pseudo craters were formed during the eruption of Lúdentaborgir and Þrengslaborgir around 2,300 years ago.
X-ray data from Chandra combined with the visible and near-infrared Hubble mosaic. Light from x-rays tends to occupy the places where voids have formed, likely as a result of hot winds and supernova shock waves impacting the walls of the cavity.
There is an article at the Chandra website regarding this object and what is being illustrated. You may read it here, if you wish:

I would like to thank Jonathan McDowell for showing me that the lowest and highest energy levels must be filtered out using the event file because they are too noisy, and Brian Wolven for tagging him into the Twitter thread that resulted in the discussion. I don't often ask for help because I feel like I am bothering people, but small things like this really make a difference for me.

This was the beginning of a very interesting day that ended up having it all; rail replacements; demonstrators; depots; training buses and a few normal things thrown in for good measure. The fact proceedings began with an N94UD Omnidekka was probably a good sign!
Here on Queens Road next to the bottom end of Barton’s was seen Orbit Coaches of Leicester CNZ 4060, apparently heading for Nottingham station although it was going the wrong way for that. A short while later it passed again in the opposite direction, so perhaps it’d left Beeston and made a wrong turn?
Originally this bus was new to Metrobus carrying the registration YN53 RYT. Orbit have it painted in this pseudo-Brighton livery but with white instead of cream, in fact it resembles the N113s that PC Coaches had. It’s funny how several independent operators seemed to adopt Brighton & Hove livery (or a variant of it) as their own.

I had no intentions in going to New Jersey this weekend. With autumn leaves at peak in the north country I had intended to head back to New Hampshire or upstate New York. But on Wednesday night I got word from a friend that Saturday was shaping up to be the big hospital train move off the long defunct New York and Greenwood Lake Railway in Passaic. These moves would constitute one of the very last on the line as it had been condemned and was going to be entirely removed.
What makes the old NYGL special is that they were the operators of the former Conrail (originally Erie) railroad Dundee Spur that included one of the longest stretches of street running left in the east for 3/10ths of a mile down Monroe Street. Much has been written about this line over the years and I'd known about it for decades thanks to seeing photos and reading about it in Railpace magazine. This street running while popular with railfans has long been a sore spot with the city of Garfield that has tried for decades to restrict or remove railroad operations. In fact their efforts even made a story in the New York Times decades ago: www.nytimes.com/1978/07/08/archives/new-jersey-pages-judg...
Conrail operated the route until 1996 when much to the delight of the city they petitioned for abandonment. But the line's one remaining shipper objected and it was sold and became the shortline NYGL. For a while they were able to grow business and seemed successful giving the line a new lease on life and delighting fans with a roster of vintage motive power wearing a pseudo Erie Railroad scheme.
But the lines major shipper closed for good in 2009, and the railroad ceased all operations in 2012. Having sat in limbo for half a decade with its connection to the outside world severed (where the line met NJT's ex Erie Bergen County Line) its future was uncertain. Seized due to unpaid taxes the railroad finally relinquished all rights in 2019 and allowed it to be cleared abandoned. The new owner of the property swapped land with the city of Passaic so that the location of Island Yard could be revitalized from a homeless camp into a waterfront park.
In February of this year the collection of former NYGL equipment was moved up the line from their one time shop and trans load facility at Dundee Yard up to Island Yard so that track removal and site clearing could begin on the lower portion. There it sat until this past Saturday when a special move contracted to the Morristown and Erie Railroad took place. The M&E used their SW1500 to shuttle the hospital train out to the NJT main where they made the short trip north to deliver it to the NYSW's yard. The equipment has been donated to Operation Toy Train and would be headed to Honesdale, PA for safe keeping via an NYSW special on Sunday to Lackawaxen and the connection with the Stourbridge Line.
After delivering the derelict equipment the SW1500 would return to Garfield and make a second trip light engine down the street to pick up five loaded flats and gons of salvaged rail and hardware before making a third trip shoving north (railroad west) this time back to the NJT main before taking that back to their shop at at Morristown via their trackage rights over NJT.
I never made it to see the Dundee Spur in CR or NYGL days and the line died before I moved back east. So when the opportunity arose on my day off to get one truly last chance at photographing this iconic piece of east coast Street trackage I knew I had to go. Considering I'd recently traveled all over the midwest seeking out street trackage, to have this chance come up relatively close to home was truly a gift and to not attempt it would be just wrong, So,despite the throngs of easily 200 fans out chasing it was a day for the ages with good friends absolutely worth the effort!
There will probably be only one more set of runs down and back up the street with the last of the rail, but I won't be able to make it whenever that happens. So, let's take a look at nearly the last gasp of the old Erie Railroad line down Monroe Street and over halfmoon trestle into Passaic. I have dozens of photos to share but here is one to start.
Making the first move of the day on the line, ME SW1500 (EMD blt. Oct. 1966 as RFP 91) leads a long hospital train of derelict former NYGL equipment up Monroe Street headed to the NJT Bergen County Line connection. They are being walked up the street with a railroad and police escort as they approach the intersection of Cambridge street with the Albanian American Islamic Center mosque providing an interesting backdrop.
