Modeled after the garden of cosmic speculation in Scotland. This particular feature of the garden is called the snake mound.
The model was for my final project in history of landscape architecture. Most of the modeling credit goes to Wes but it was a combined effort. It's constructed of blue foam that we shaped and coated with plaster. The black is epoxy that we mixed in black pigment... it's supposed to represent water. Actually turned out to be rather tricky, getting the epoxy to set up properly requires LOTS of mixing before hand... it took two attempts to get the stuff to harden as it is now.
I'm not sure if the bookseller is making assumptions here but it's a pretty cool thought that this book was presented to Timothy Leary by Lawrence Ferlinghetti.

This project is my speculation about presumable existence of parallel universes. The universe is infinite, but there is only limited amount of particles everything is made of. That means, that any combination of limited amount of participles will repeat again. Theory of hyperspace says, that our universe is just one small bubble in the foam full of bubbles.What if somewhere there, in the depth of infinite universe, exists exactly the same version of me?
Or you?
'Landscapes of speculation' explores the role of unbuilt sites as ephemeral landscapes conceived by real estate market. Santiago de Chile, as many latin-american countries, is a fast-paced growing city under a free market economy. The transformation of land into a commodity has imposed the logic of speculation onto traditional city developing processes, leaving purposedly undeveloped lots in between highly demanded areas.
These somewhat invisible spaces are closed to the eyes of the passerby; they are not meant to be experienced in their actual conditions, and as such they exist in a liminal situation between nature and currency, space and metaphor. Under this threshold state, space is subject to - or defended from - social practices that are themselves outcasted from contemporary cities. This has led me to wonder about the value this landscapes have to contemporary culture, as they range from 'archeological registries' of economic pressures over land to highly representational and personal spaces.

These days any major shift in weather conditions starts speculations about the effects of global warming. This winter has been colder and the snow cover thicker than for ages here in southern Finland. Although this is nothing unusual - I have experienced many similar winters during my life - the speculations run wild.
Walking home in the dark tonight, this movie poster, aptly decorated with snow and icicles, made me think about all this. I shouldn't joke about the serious global threat, but I couldn't help seeing the funny connection here. Have we entered the new Ice Age already?

An excellent, low-budget depiction of official contact with the 'Galactic Barrier', as it were, by Commander Roswell, only later to be reclassified an 'intergalactic' barrier, due to story line enhancements and more thorough evaluation of subsequent events in the 'Coliseum'.
'Commander Minus Roswell' being played by Wes Washington, current Brooklyn resident and aspiring make-up artist.
Scholars argue that due to Washington's Apache/Cherokee roots, and being raised primarily by a single mother, he'd naturally gravitate toward the Star Trek® Voyager series versus a character that ever ascends to the rank of captain aboard his own vessel.
"Nosey bastards!" he'd surely call them behind their backs, you see.

"Hannah Courtoy (1784 - 26 January 1849), born Hannah Peters, was a London society woman who inherited a fortune from the merchant John Courtoy in 1815. Her distinctive Egyptian-style mausoleum in London's Brompton Cemetery has been the subject of considerable curiosity and speculation ever since a report by Reuters in 1998 repeated claims that it contained a working time machine.
"Hannah Courtoy was born Hannah Peters in 1784. She never married but had three daughters, Mary Ann (1801), Elizabeth (1804-1876), and Susannah (1807-1895). In 1830, Susannah married Septimus Holmes Godson, a barrister of Gray's Inn.
"In 1815, Courtoy inherited a fortune from the elderly merchant John Courtoy (born Nicholas Jacquinet in France, 1709) through a Will that was disputed in court.
"Courtoy's distinctive Egyptian-style mausoleum of 1854[9] in Brompton Cemetery, where her unmarried daughters Elizabeth and Mary Ann are also interred, has been the subject of considerable curiosity ever since a report by Reuters in 1998[10] reported on rumours that it might be or contain a working time machine, a speculation that has been fuelled by various articles written by the musician Stephen Coates of the band The Real Tuesday Weld."

"Brompton Cemetery is a London cemetery in the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea. It is managed by The Royal Parks, and is one of the Magnificent Seven cemeteries. Established by Act of Parliament and erected in 1839, it opened in 1840 and was originally known as the West of London and Westminster Cemetery.
"Consecrated by Charles James Blomfield, the Bishop of London in June 1840, it is one of Britain's oldest and most distinguished garden cemeteries. Some 35,000 monuments, from simple headstones to substantial mausolea, mark the resting place of more than 205,000 burials. The site includes large plots for family mausolea, and common graves where coffins are piled deep into the earth, as well as a small columbarium. There is also a secluded Garden of Remembrance at the northern end, for cremated remains. It is also an urban haven for nature.
"By the early years of the 19th century, inner city burial grounds, mostly churchyards, had long been unable to cope with the number of burials and were seen as a hazard to health and an undignified way to treat the dead. In 1837 a decision was made to lay out a new burial ground in Brompton, London. The moving spirit behind the project was the engineer, Stephen Geary, and it was necessary to form a company in order to get parliamentary permission to raise capital for the purpose. Securing the land – some 40 acres – from local landowner, Lord Kensington and the Equitable Gas Light Company, as well as raising the money proved an extended challenge. The cemetery became one of seven large, new cemeteries founded by private companies in the mid-19th century (sometimes called the 'Magnificent Seven') forming a ring around the edge of London."

in hours of objective speculation
i ponder our destiny, silently despairing
where is the limit of human arrogance?
when will we realize the abysmal depths
of our ignorance?
while hyperbolic curves now succinctly measure
the rapidly approaching cataclysm,
society totters on the precipice, while
human-lemmings drive themselves even faster,
desperately plunging into the chasm
After multiple years of rumors and speculation, the last eastbound intermodal B100 rounds one of the many curves in Zoar as it makes it's run between Mechanicville, NY and Ayer, MA. Though the symbol B100 did not go away, it was replaced with trash loads and autoracks, and the intermodal section now runs via trackage rights over CSX from Voorheesville NY.

(Description from Winchelsea Website)
There has been much speculation about whether the church of St Thomas was ever finished, but it is now generally accepted that it was. The ruins of the southwest corner of the nave were shown in a drawing of 1825 (the foundations of the nave were reported in 1850 to have been dug up and sold in 1790 for use in Rye Harbour, but the Harbour closed in 1784) and a tessellated pavement was found in the early 20th century where the nave would have been. The question that then arises is who destroyed the missing nave and ruined the transepts. Conventional wisdom has it that the truncated state of St Thomas’s Church came about because of the French raid of 1360. It has been suggested that the French targeted the church because the English were supporting the Pope in Rome, while the French were supporting the Pope in Avignon. However, a map of 1572 shows that the main tower was still standing. It now seems likely that the lost sections of the church were probably demolished by the church authorities between 1572 and 1597, when a second map shows the church without a tower or nave, to reduce the burden of maintenance on the impoverished parish. The materials would have been sold off. The roof timbers of the transepts were removed only in the 1640's.
After a while of speculation over the antler dog tattoo, Susannah offered to go outside and ask about it. Turns out it's an old dead family dog and the antlers are supposed to be palm leaves. She could totally cover it up as a horse tho.
Speculations rose when cricketer Yuvraj Singh attended his friend Harbhajan Singh's wedding with actress and model Hazel Keech. The two were rumoured to be in a relationship for quite some time now and being seen together just confirmed everyone's suspicion a little more. For more visit : goo.gl/OfozRG
