PLEASE COMMENT IF YOU FAVE!
I know what you're thinking.
"Boss, Doomfist isn't even in the game!"
I know.
A lot of speculation has been circulating the interwebs, and it had me hyped when Orisa wasn't revealed. I'm hoping for an in game Doomfist, like a lot.
Anywho, this figure is my own take on the character.
It's inspired by some concept art, the Numbani map, a little bit of Horizon: Zero Dawn flair, and my own ideas.
I'll just explain the figure.
Doomfist:
The hair is inspired by a lot of Concept Art. It started out as a wolverine hairpiece. The head is fully painted by me, with a little blue body paint added (which is where the Horizon influence came from).
The armor was what I had started for Saw Gerrera, but I painted it all black.
The actual "Doomfist" is made from a four lego hands, a flickfire gun, and other various bits. The other arm is wrapped in etape, with a silver wash, and a few blue additions. I gave him a Rex pauldron, as it fits with the color scheme, along with a custom waist cape.
His legs were extended.
I don't really think the photo does him justice, because he looks so much better in person.
Anywho, thanks for reading!
Boss

Duga, also called "russian woodpecker", was a Soviet over the horizon radar system, used as a part of the missile early warning radar network. Operated from 1976 - 1989. Duga broadcasted in the sw radio bands, with reaching over 10 MW it was super powerful.
The Duga signal, a repetitive tapping noise at 10 Hz rate, was source for lots of speculations such as Soviet mind or weather control experiments.
The massive steel construction is 700 meters (2,300 ft) long and 150 meters (490 ft) high.
Not so subtle colour, with the last of the evening light hitting the tree.

This Video is an atmospherical speculation about what unexpected things might be happening in the unattended flow of light and time. It's a short version of the composition with the same name from the Album "For now I am Winter" by Ólafur Arnalds.
Maybe you know these birds or rather their shadows from an older tour visual i once created for him. So he kindly allowed me to put this piece of animationon on Youtube as I developed the visuals into a miscvideo. I hope you enjoy it.

It's time to dream away...
Festa paesana , nella campagna toscana, la più bella campagna del mondo, dove puoi vivere senza fretta, e dove c'è veramente "amicizia" tra le persone adulte ......e anche tra i bimbi che ti accolgono sempre con sorrisi sinceri.
E non occorre modificarli...., sono sempre così.
Forse una scelta di vita...., e un modo di vivere diverso che ti ripaga sempre.
N. 5 my fav A great smile on Flickr.
Carpe diem,"cogli il giorno", i migliori contatti sono questi,
e lo stare insieme ai bambini , fa crescere sempre...
Non me ne faccio niente dei falsi sorrisi della gente, delle frasi fatte, delle parole di circostanza; preferisco un vaffanculo sincero ad una sorta di falsa apparenza.
Gracias por pasar aquí.
Thanks for visit in Tuscany ...........I'm Dan!
Well after much anticipation and speculation it would appear we do have little ones this year, which is a relief after the disappointment of last years failure :-)
This series is the first published part from the set "Landscapes from a farm park south Milan" and they are enclosed in my first personal expo i had in 9th of september to 19 with my friend Mirko Bozzato , graphic designer and photographer. The farm park of south Milan is a reality which Mirko and I appreciate it's the greenest area of Milan: a beautiful reality that needs to be protected by building speculation. The expo is about a collaboration between us ...we were really good friends since we were kids and he started to take pictures about the awesome landscapes there during the last two years: i proposed to him to re-work with my style on his photos. Im very glad that I finally made a work on landscape images, trying to give them a sense of dramatic force to represent all the pressure by building interesting buildings around the park area: the idea is to use my textures to show a hidden dark side that could ruin the peace and beauty of the place

Down from my ceiling
Drips great noise
It drips on my head through a hole in the roof
Behind these two hills here
There's a pool
And when I'm swimming in
Through a tunnel
I shut my eyes
Inside the cabin I make sounds
In through the tubes I send this noise
Behind these two hills here
Fall asleep
And when I float in green grass of tunnel
It flows back
Down from my ceiling
Drips great noise
It drips on my head through a hole in the roof
Behind these two hills here
There's a pool
And when I'm swimming in
Through a tunnel....
I shut my eyes.
I shut my eyes

CUARTA Y ULTIMA ENTREGA DE ESTA SERIE
IMPRESCINDIBLE SOBRE FONDO NEGRO!!!!!!!!!!
BETTER ON BLACK BACKGROUND!!
Perteneciente a la serie " La otra Barcelona"... (4) de (4)
Con esta serie intento retener graficamente esos lugares que todavia no han sido devorados por la especulacion y la "voracidad" de los tiempos modernos
It belongs to "The Other Barcelona" series. (4) (4)
This is my attempt to record photographically those places that have not yet been destroyed by speculation and fierceness of modern times.
The curious case of the red-tail hawk carrying a pine cone. Open to speculation if you have any ideas.
In 1975, the NASA Summer Study was conducted at Stanford University. The purpose of this event was the speculation about designs for future space colonies.
Several designs arose from this summit, and one of them took the name of the place it was being held: Stanford torus.
Although, the concept of a rotating wheel space station has previously been proposed by Wernher von Braun and Herman Potočnik, and even used in movies (remember 2001: A Space Odyssey), Stanford torus achieved to be a design on its own, and one of my favorites along O'Neill cylinder, whose design was used for the Babylon 5 space station of the homonymous series, which you can see in LEGO form in here, or for the Cooper Station in Interstellar.
Coming back to the Stanford torus, its shape is, as its name suggests, a torus (you know, a doughnut, but with its mathematical name), plus a central part (or hub) with mirrors to reflect light to the inside of the torus, which is attached to the torus itself via a number of "spokes".
You can get more information of the Stanford torus on its Wikipedia page.
For this LEGO version I have allowed myself a certain degree of license, to achieve a better looking model:
- Removing the central hub and the spokes which somehow distracted attention from the torus.
- Not closing the torus, via transparent panels, to allow a better view of the interior design.
The final model is rather small (not more than 32 studs in diameter), because of the parts I had available, but it proved to be quite a challenge in terms of design.
I hope you enjoy it!
View of the Lions Gate Bridge from Stanley Park in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada.
About this photo: My friend and I enjoyed a quick visit to beautiful Stanley Park in Vancouver, BC, Canada. We stopped at Prospect Point and walked to the view of the Lions Gate Bridge which is always so beautiful. I took this photo from the Stanley Park overpass with a view of the Lions Gate Bridge in Vancouver, BC, Canada.
And here is a little history on the Lions Gate Bridge:
Here is a little history:
1937: Construction began on March 31, after years of speculation and planning. The bridge was an impetus to real estate development on the North Shore, uniting both sides of the inlet. The First Narrows Bridge Company employed numerous workers in an otherwise bleak depression period. It was funded by private foreign investment through the efforts of A.J.T. Taylor.
1938: The bridge opened to pedestrian traffic on November 12, 1938, and to cars two days later, on November 14.
1939: On May 29 King George VI and Queen Elizabeth crossed the bridge during the first Royal Visit to Canada.
1952: A third lane was added to allow for passing.
1955: The British Columbia Toll Highways and Bridges Authority acquired the bridge for $5,595,060.
1963: Tolls were removed on April 1.
1965: Lane controls were installed.
1970’s: Several renovations were completed to significantly improve bridge safety and upgrade the structure.
1986: On February 19, a string of white lights was added to the bridge which was a gift of the Guinness family to Vancouver.
2002: The bridge underwent a major upgrade that included roadway expansion, deck replacement, and the construction of more pedestrian- and bicycle-friendly sidewalks. This type of replacement was the first in the world.
2004: The bridge was declared a national Historic Site of Canada.

Some information about Vancouver: Vancouver is known as one of the most beautiful cities in the world. Vancouver is Canada's third largest city and is located by the Pacific Ocean on a peninsula surrounded by water and in the distance there are the mountains. Vancouver is considered a pretty clean and safe city with a great variety of shops, museums, theatre, outdoor activities (hiking, walking, kayaking, sailing, skiing on the local mountains in the winter) and more. Walking around Stanley Park is a favourite thing to do for tourist and locals alike. This beautiful park extends from the city centre of Vancouver almost to the North Shore. With wonderful views of the mountains and the ocean around every corner, downtown Vancouver is one of the most picturesque cities in the world. Walk along Robson Street, the most popular shopping street. Experience Chinatown with the different kinds of building and stores, walk on the beaches of English Bay and the seawall of Stanley Park, enjoy a walk in Gastown with the old steam clock and the many gift shops.
Look out for some Hollywood film sets as Vancouver is used for many big Hollywood movies and shows. That's why you might hear that Vancouver is called "Hollywood North". Here are some examples of shows and movies that were/are filmed here: "Deadpool 1 & 2", "The X-Files", "The Good Doctor", "Colony", "Arrow", "The Flash", "Supernatural", "Stargate-SG1", "The 6th Day", "Kiss of the Dragon", "Small Ville" and many many more. Then there is also the Canada Place, the stadiums, the Harbour Lookout, the Dr. Sun Yat-Sen Classical Chinese Garden, Science World, the Vancouver Art Gallery and much more! All of these attractions are located within minutes from the city centre.
Vancouver is also popular in the winter for winter activities. There are 3 local mountains where you can do any type of winter sport. There is Grouse Mountain, most famous for it's stunning views over the city and fresh powder snow. Grouse Mountain is accessible by skyride...this is a big gondola that will take you up to the top of the mountain. Mount Seymour and Cypress Mountain are famous too and you also get wonderful views from the top of these mountains. As you can see...Vancouver has lots to offer. The Winter Olympics were held here in 2010 as well.
The opening lines of this song, "Jeremiah was a bullfrog, was a good friend of mine. Never understood a single word he said, but I helped him drink his wine," are part of some wonderful song meaning speculation. A common interpretation is that the bullfrog is the prophet Jeremiah from the Bible, that the bullfrog, with his distinctive call that stands out in nature, is God's voice.

NGC 4565 is a giant spiral galaxy more luminous than the Andromeda Galaxy and it has been proposed that if it were viewed face-on, it would be the most spectacular of the galaxies of its type in the nearby Universe.
Much speculation exists in the literature as to the nature of the central bulge. In the absence of clear-cut dynamical data on the motions of stars in the bulge, the photometric data alone cannot adjudge among various options put forth. However, its exponential shape suggested that it is a barred spiral galaxy. Subsequent studies with the help of the Spitzer Space Telescope not only confirmed the presence of a central bar but also showed a pseudobulge within it as well as an inner ring. NGC 4565 has at least two companion galaxies, one of which is interacting with it. It has a population of roughly 240 globular clusters, more than the Milky Way. (Wikipedia).

No doubt armed with advance information of such 'up' Departmental working, Class33/1 33116 strides past the 1898-built signalbox at Farncombe viewed from the station platform end.

It snowed in early season and speculation in autumn by information, and I went right away.
Because if mountains were still colored leaves, snow was intense to say, and it was snowswept.
I spend Ichiya and wait for a morning.
When I wake up, the environment is a silvery snowscape in the deep blue sky!
Snow who freezes gathers round the trees just as it is, and it's glued together.
I'm intoxicated with this photogenic world, and a result sticks all day.
I'm going to do.
Always had an affinity for sake. Maguro eventually became so much my of a favourite that I'd aim to please my fix with a profusion in one sitting. Unagi was last on my list considering that the visualization of eels were not appetizing to speculation, but delicious nonetheless.
Pecking Order.

Thence gathering plumes of perfect speculation,
To imp the wings of thy high-flying mind,
Mount up aloft through heavenly contemplation,
From this dark world, whose damps the soul so blind,
And, like the native brood of eagles' kind,
On that bright Sun of Glory fix thine eyes,
Clear'd from gross mists of frail infirmities.

Narrabeen & Queenscliff.
Both these iconic Sydney ferries are now at Cockatoo Island where they have been moored for approximately 2 years.
Sadly Narrabeen’s future seems uncertain as she is now simply rusting in peace and awaiting her final fate.
As for Queenscliff there is speculation that she will undergo a refit and is expected to return to service.
Here the latest crane technology is being engaged to facilitate to refit on Queenscliff.

There has been a lot of rumour and speculation as to what was to become of the CN Hagersville Subdivision when the lease ran out this year and now we know.
A public CN letter was sent out to customers on the line last week stating the following:
"CN is pleased to announce that we will be assuming control of operations for the following rail lines:
Southern Ontario Railway's Hagersville subdivision effective September 18 2018. This rail line includes the following stations: Caledonia, Hagersville and Nanticoke.
SOR's Hamilton subdivision effective December 13 2018. this rail line includes the Hamilton rail station"
For the time being things should stay the same, but we will begin to see changes occurring moving forward. As railfans we must remember that these changes effect peoples livelihoods and we need to be respectful of that.
If you haven't got your shots, now is the time.
It's just another day on the BNSF, and not adding to the speculation or forecasting the future, with CSX 3424 leading 98 loads of ethanol within 2 miles of the summit of the Arizona Divide on a snowless February day. Assisting was CSX 249 and KCS 4515, with BNSF 7813 and 8203 as midtrain DPU's on this 13,500 ton black snake. This was a good chase with ample opportunities to get this one in various spots from Cosnino to Williams.
This old, restored and preserved Shell gas station sits along Front St. running through Issaquah Washington. There is speculation that the building may have been constructed as a residence in the late 1890’s. By 1902 records show the building was used as a warehouse and grocery store. By the 1940s the building had changed hands and became a feed store and gasoline station.
In 2003, the building was Landmarked and the Downtown Issaquah Association (DIA) with assistance from the City of Issaquah, private party donations and volunteers began the process of restoring the building to its 1944 appearance as the Hailstone Feed Store and Shell Gasoline Station.
It’s now most frequently used as a backdrop for social media posts.
Arriva Buses Wales ADL Enviro 400 City 1010 - CX17 BXN is pictured in Chester working route 1 to Wrexham. There has been much speculation about where these vehicles might end up following the decision by Arriva to move them out of Wrexham, with Merseyside being the general consensus among enthusiasts, though with that area about to become franchised it did seem rather unlikely. The answer, it transpires, is in the title of the photo.
There has been much speculation for a while now, that Wrexham depot will shortly become a all single deck operation, and thus removing the quite impressive ADL E400City's off routes 1 and 5, a shame really.
They say things go in cycles, and this reminds me when the impressive R-AEY batch of Volvo Olympians were on route 1 and ended up been moved away and replaced by Darts, to make the depot single deck.
A very fast moving scene here, 1008 heads for Wrexham, whilst sister 1007 CX17 BYJ heads for Chester in the background. I did get some better focused scenes of these here, but I'll post this one due to two sisters working in the same scene. I was awaiting a target Pulsar on the X4 service (I'll post at some point).
Loadings do look poor here, but looks can be deceiving. Most passengers flows at this point were heading to Chester, whilst the Wrexham bound run would load up well in the villages between Chester and Wrexham. I have sampled these quite a bit over the years and quite like them due to been different, but for some reason wasn't as keen on the CX14/15 plate examples on the traditional E400 bodywork.
The Kings in town, at least i think he was. The Royal Train passed through Teignmouth heading south at approx 0500. The train took refuge on the South Devon Railway until approx 1000hrs when it pulled into Totnes where the King alighted. This is where i enter into the world of speculation and i speculate that he went to Dartmouth Naval College for a passing out parade.
He then returned at about 1400.
The train eventually left at 1435 as 1Z53 heading north but where is unknown at this moment in time.
Here are 67005 67006 as 1Z53 Totnes to ? along the River Teign approaching Teignmouth.
The flower offered of itself
And eloquently spoke
Of Gods
In languages of rainbows
Perfumes
And secret silence...

A seductive young white-throated sparrow flashes a little bare leg, getting the attention of the paparazzi and creating wide spread speculation as to if she is wearing anything at all under those feathers.
Located between N. Conti St. and N. Miro St. in New Orleans, La. 70119.
"The unique New Orleans hotel that is La Belle Esplanade was built in the 1883 as a Creole answer to the mansions on Saint Charles Avenue. The three houses at 2212, 2216, and 2222 Esplanade Avenue were all built by the successful cotton broker Julius Weiss. A native of Germany, Weiss arrived in New Orleans after spending a few years as an itinerant peddler in Mississippi and northern Louisiana. Weiss never lived in any of these houses, instead he built them on speculation as the area was undergoing an extensive redevelopment to satisfy the tastes of wealthy Creole merchants relocating from the French Quarter, and a growing wealthy Greek immigrant community.
The property lines of these three lots do not match the street grid, but instead follow the original plantation lines that were laid out perpendicular to the high point of Esplanade Ridge, which is Bayou Road. For this reason the rear of the properties are narrow pie slices wedged into the middle of the block, creating a unique configuration for the back gardens.
Unlike most homes built for speculation, Julian Weiss did not construct these inexpensively or exactly alike. Though they share architectural elements, each was designed to be a stand-alone, unique masterpiece. You have to look closely to see the similarities. 2212 is built along Swiss cottage lines. 2216 is a traditional Queen Anne two-family manor. 2222 is Italianate. The interiors of all three feature 14 foot ceilings, classic New Orleans porches to served as outdoor hallways, and transoms to allow for the free flow of air during humid New Orleans summers.
Esplanade Avenue was one of the city’s main thoroughfares, and a streetcar line ran down the middle of the neutral ground from 1861 to 1934. It was the first streetcar line to run through the “back of town,” testimony to the importance of commerce and the vitality in the surrounding neighborhoods.
During the 1960s this fashionable neighborhood began to experience hard times. The three homes in the middle of Esplanade Avenue’s 2200 block were divided into apartments and they fell victim to neglect, much like the other stately manors that line the avenue. In the 1970s, a preservationist spirit took hold in New Orleans, and the legacy of Esplanade Avenue’s architectural legacy was documented by the Historic New Orleans Commission.
In 1986, a local attorney and preservationist, James Derbes, purchased 2216 Esplanade Avenue, the location of La Belle Esplanade, with the intent of turning it into a bed and breakfast. Through an investment of sweat equity, Mr. Derbes restored this building to its original glory with an eye toward preserving all of its period details and charms. While working on 2216 Esplanade Ave., Mr. Derbes was presented with the opportunity of purchasing its neighbor at 2222, which had also experienced a period of neglect. Due to his foresight and efforts, both properties were restored and their rear gardens joined into a charming setting with the fountain that stands to this day.
Under Mr. Derbes’ direction, 2216 became the Esplanade Villa a popular and successful bed and breakfast that operated in conjunction with the Benachi House, which he also restored, across the street. During Hurricane Katrina, in 2005, when the failed federal levees flooded New Orleans, the house did not sustain water damage. Though New Orleans’ landscape appears to be flat, Esplanade Avenue runs atop Esplanade Ridge, one of the higher points in the city. For this very reason, Bayou Road, New Orleans’ oldest street, crosses Esplanade Avenue at the 2200 block.
Soon after Katrina, Esplanade Villa stopped functioning as a New Orleans bed and breakfast, and reverted to apartments. In 2012, Mr. Derbes was gracious enough to part with the building which he worked so hard to restore. La Belle Esplanade bed and breakfast is operated by La Belle Esplanade, LLC with the mission to make the real New Orleans, the way New Orleanians experience their city, available to visitors." -labelleesplanade.com
I'm Shiga-plateau in Nagano-prefecture by long photography travel in autumn.
A picture is taken and it's beyond Shibu-pass in a border between prefectures (for an altitude, 2172m).
Just before Kusatsu Shirane-mountain from which even beauty of the colored leaves is learned about
yoshigaflat who feels NI is wide big was visited.
But, unfortunately, colored leaves, already, already, the end, wow.
please, I shifted to the winter scenery which waits for snow.
But the red sunset will be dusk, and strikes in the surface of a mountain.
When they began, entourage changed completely and defoliated completely.
The trees of a delicate birch are applied the center at all,
It's transformed into the view of the late fall when it's full of emotion like the picture I got.
It was done.
There`s a lot of speculation that first group will lose the TPE contract so is this a sign of the future, Drs`s Chiltern liveried 68010 "Oxford Flyer" approaches Gascoigne wood sidings on a light engine move from Crewe Gresty bridge (0Z13) 08/02/2023.
After setting up camp and having some well deserved freeze-dried food there was plenty of discussion and reflection on the trip so far. Looking back down the valley had never looked so good as when the sun was setting.
The real focus of our discussions though was the glacier up ahead. From our camp the glacier still looked to be at least a couple of kilometres away leaving plenty of mystery around it inviting much speculation on it's condition. There was a certain glean to the surface though that seemed to indicate the surface was icier than first expected.
The route up the glacier looked to wind around between some big rocky outcrops that posed somewhat of a threat and consideration was given to how much time we would need to spend roped up and placing protection through this section. There was one thing we knew though, that falling on ice that leads to a big rocky drop would not end well.
But just how we would attack this section would be tomorrow's challenge. For now we could only imagine ourselves up there and dream of what tomorrow held.
Moray or Muray (Quechua)[1] is an archaeological site in Peru approximately 50 km (31 mi) northwest of Cuzco on a high plateau at about 3,500 m (11,500 ft) and just west of the village of Maras. The site contains unusual Inca ruins, mostly consisting of several enormous terraced circular depressions, the largest of which is approximately 30 m (98 ft) deep. As with many other Inca sites, it also has a sophisticated irrigation system.
The purpose of these depressions is uncertain, but their depth, design, and orientation with respect to wind and sun creates a temperature difference of as much as 15 °C (27 °F) between the top and the bottom. It is possible that this large temperature difference was used by the Inca to study the effects of different climatic conditions on crops. Speculation about the site has led to discussion about Moray as an Inca agricultural experiment station. Its microclimatic conditions and other significant characteristics led to the use of the site as a center for the ancient study of domestication, acclimatization, and hybridization of wild vegetable species that were modified or adapted for human consumption. (Wikipedia)
After many months of rumors, speculation and high level decision making, P&W sent SD70M-2 4302 north to NECR's portable paint shop in St. Albans for its new G&W colors. Wearing its second paint scheme in less than a year, 4302 leads NECR train 611 arriving at Barretts siding, just north of Palmer, MA on Wednesday afternoon June 14, 2017.
An odd little building in the graveyard at Saul Church. One theory proposed that it was a medieval port-hole shrine containing the remains of St Patrick, St Brigid & St Columba. This was ruled out by a 2014 excavation by Queen's University which found that it was built in the late 16th or early 17th century. Its purpose remains open to speculation.
The Namib Naukluft Park in Namibia harbors a group of wild horses that are becoming perplexing. Nobody knows for sure where they came from but speculation is that they escaped from the communal tribal areas, that the horses brought by the Germans for duty in the diamond mines escaped, that abandoned horses at the end of the First World War gathered here, folks just don't know.
These horses are evolving into not a different species but different habits. They go longer without water, sometimes up to 5-7 days, they eat a lot less as the vegitation in the desert is spase but it has ten times the food value of normal grass, they graze on whatever is available including leaves on the few trees that inhabit the desert leaving a distinct browse line and on and on. Some have spider webbing on their rumps much like the distinctive markings of the Appaloosa Horse. They all look similar to thoroughbreds but are they descended from them?
We have worked on these horses and they appear in our book, ALL THE WILD HORSES, available through Voyager Press. What a fun project to cover wild horses of the world!
These Namib Naukluft horses live in an almost surreal moonscape. Our thanks should go to Tommy Hall, a Luderitz Game Warden in the Namibian Department of Conservation, who after many attempts finally made a watering hole and observation area for these treasures. If you ever journey to Namibia, check out these horses between Klein Aus and Gorab on the Keetmanshoop to Luderitz highway.

PCA 149 - 6-word Story
Mar 20-Apr 3, 2011 (2 weeks)
Image Tag: pca149
Assignment: It is said that Ernest Hemingway was once asked to write a complete story in six words. There is speculation that maybe this was to settle a bar bet or perhaps as a challenge to other writers. In either case, this challenge is the basis for the assignment.
Many critics state that a good photograph has to tell a story in order to connect to the viewer. For this assignment I’d like you to compose a visual interpretation of a six-word story. Although I encourage you to write your own story, feel free to use the many six word stories available that could be the basis for your image.
There is definitely a chicken/egg aspect to this assignment depending on how you approach your creativity. Which comes first, the image or the story? A compelling photo composed through your creative eye may have enough depth to provide the seed for several six-word stories. On the other hand, a clever six-word story could be creatively interpreted by several different photographic concepts. There is no right or wrong way to approach the assignment.
By the way, Hemingway’s story is: "For sale: baby shoes, never used."
WIT: I love this train graveyard. I've been here before. I could spend all day here, but I only stopped for a few minutes this time. This little trolly is my favorite, so broken and battered, but still worth photographing. I think this was part of a private collection that was originially going to be a museum, then the owner died and now these trains and trollys have been left to rust on the roadside. Quite a sad end to its life. I'm sure many people road on this trolly, had conversations, ate their meals and maybe even made business deals.
Excerpt from luminatofestival.com:
For the second time Luminato Festival will install Canadian artist Michel de Broin’s One Thousand Speculations, a 7.9 metre in diameter ball made up of 1,000 mirrors — the world’s largest mirror ball. Originally commissioned by Luminato for the 2013 Festival, this time it will not be suspended from a crane over David Pecaut Square but will hang inside the Hearn Generating Station. It is a meeting of superlatives. Turned on, it will transform the space into a futuristic spectacle, letting us dream about what could be. For Michel, the piece renders and recreates the starry sky. We will bring the starry sky inside the Hearn, reminding us that our sense of wonder is endless through inspiration. It will make us see the space of the Hearn in an ever-changing way and highlight detail after detail as the 1,000 rays slowly scan the space in circular motion.
