two thoughts: i do this drive-by shot maybe four times a week and never get it centered. until today. i don't think that's meaningful, just useful since i don't want to actually pull over in winter. so here we have another one of my over-used motifs. thought 2, entirely random, was that naming a tunnel after lincoln was pretty insulting if you compare it to the george washington bridge. driving thru the lincoln tunnel is like driving thru the port authority bathrooms, circa 1972. the only remotely awesome thing about the lincoln tunnel is that it was built under a river. well, maybe that's the answer. beauty is only river deep.

Too cold outside for landscape photography and most of the snow has turned gray here in Stuttgart. So since it's too cold, I've been playing with light again. The image captured here reminded me of a physics class I once had: "if a pair of particles are generated in such a way that their total spin is known to be zero, and one particle is found to have clockwise spin on a certain axis, the spin of the other particle, measured on the same axis, will be found to be counterclockwise, as to be expected due to their entanglement"..... I'll let you decide which one is clockwise and which is counterclockwise in the above image... :-) Hope everyone is having a terrific Tuesday! :-)
At the border of the high Padan Plain, just at the feet of the first line of the Prealps, there lays a string of five lakes. They draw a line that is the base of the so-called Larian triangle, i.e. the triangle-shaped mountainous land between the two arms of the Lake Como (also called Lario). These lakes, often called the Lakes Briantei, or the Brianza Lakes (from the name of that land, Brianza), are way smaller than the Lario and the other great lakes of Northern Italy - just a string of beads in the higher plain - but they share the beauty of their larger cousins, although on a smaller, more intimate scale. I have always felt quite strongly the fascination of their common origin, which dates from the end of the Würm glaciation, some 11,700 years ago. I can easily see in my mind the enormous, mighty glaciers from the Alps flowing beyond the last mountains and spreading through the high plain. A powerful sight, indeed... Yet all that glory was deemed to end as the climate was becoming warmer, and eventually the glaciers began to recede, leaving behind deep ditches and huge semilunar terminal morains. You can easily fill in the story - the melting waters, the swamps, the debris from the looming mountains, and, eventually, the lakes.
Well, this is not a lesson in geology - I am by no means an expert, just a guy who perceives geology in a deeply emotional way (quite possibly a trait acquired from my late father, who was a passionate amateur mineral and fossil prospector).
I have begun a photographic exploration of those relics of the last glaciation, the Lakes Briantei. At sunrise, of course.
My first session was at the Lake Annone, the largest one, that is divided in two basins by a narrow peninsula. I limited myself to the Western basin, mostly looking Eastward.
This is a detail landscape showing, if needed, how a grand landscape may have smaller, complete landscapes nestled within itself. There could be many landscapes-within-a-landscape, every photographer might perceive and discover new ones. I loved this detail, as a gap between the mountains lets the eye run further and further away, following the outlines of distant mountains as the air becomes more and more transfixed with golden light, until it reaches the lone, elegant outline of the Pizzo dei Tre Signori (= "Peak of the Three Lords", a name stemming from the historical division of the area that it marked, between the State of Milan, the Republic of Venice and the Grisons canton of Switzerland). I am bound to this mountain by epic, adventurous memories from my youth and this quantum tunnel beams both my eye and my mind from the lake directly to that proud peak (which is some 30 km away), as the enticing, sparkling reflections on the waters of the lake make my soul dance. I hope that the photo is good enough to stir emotions within your heart as well... Have a happy Sunday!
I have processed this picture by blending an exposure bracketing [-2.0/-1.0/0/+1.0/+2.0 EV] by luminosity masks with the Gimp (EXIF data, as usual, refer to the "normal" exposure shot).
Along the journey - post-processing always is a journey of discovery to me - I tried the inverted RGB blue channel technique described by Boris Hajdukovic to give a slight tonal boost to several parts of the scene. As usual, I gave the finishing touches with Nik Color Efex Pro 4.

A relatively recent discovery in the realm of physics, quantum entanglement is bizarre, eerie, mysterious, and seemingly magical. Albert Einstein shied away from the theory, calling it "spooky action at a distance." Since then, however, numerous experiments have confirmed this strange phenomenon. Basically, entangled particles can be separated from each other, over incredibly long distances--light years, in fact--and still mysteriously change when its partner is acted upon, almost as if there were an invisible umbilical cord connecting them. This seemingly conscious connection between entangled particles even occurs faster than the speed of light, a fact that made Einstein so leery about this possibility. The frontier of scientific discovery always has been a place of wonder, imagination, curiosity and delight, and never more so than in our time. This topic is very complex; this is only the most basic description of the phenomenon, and I am but an enthralled layman. That aside, it's incredibly fascinating--I suggest you take the time to learn a little about it! The ramifications of this discovery are very interesting--some even speculate that people can be entangled in a way, an incredibly fascinating ramification that only suggests something many of us believe anyway, though for different reasons.
Needless to say, the Universe is a big, strange and wonderful place.

Quantum foam or spacetime foam is the fluctuation of spacetime on very small scales due to quantum mechanics. The idea was devised by John Wheeler in 1955. With an incomplete theory of quantum gravity, it is impossible to be certain what spacetime would look like at small scales. However, there is no reason that spacetime needs to be fundamentally smooth. It is possible that instead, in a quantum theory of gravity, spacetime would consist of many small, ever-changing regions in which space and time are not definite, but fluctuate in a foam-like manner.
Wheeler suggested that the Heisenberg uncertainty principle might imply that over sufficiently small distances and sufficiently brief intervals of time, the "very geometry of spacetime fluctuates". These fluctuations could be large enough to cause significant departures from the smooth spacetime seen at macroscopic scales, giving spacetime a "foamy" character.

This model shows a group of Freemen having found shelter out near an old and abandoned temple.
Another Quantum Lands model.
This was actually only built over the course of a day, which is quite something for me, considering it's my biggest finished model to date.
I had a lot of fun creating the ruined look. And trying to incorporate gold watch links. I also found it fun, but frustrating try out the leaf weaving technique, and yes I know I'm a few years late to that :P
Tree was inspired by some of Dan The Fan and LordGregory's models. Overall build was inspired by Markus Rollbühler. Statue by Stan Building.
