Southern Alberta is giving us a healthy reprieve on weather, it didn't take long to negotiate another meeting of these windy spaces and echoing sentiments. Thanksgiving weekend, a place seemingly half way divided (Saskatchewan and Alberta demarcation line) where six months previous ponds from Spring snow melt had surrounded the house perimeter.
I've said it before, you can't just bottle this space onto a memory card, the representation in your mind is always a million times larger and immediately tangible. That's before you consider the dynamic range demanded by your pupils.
Suddenly a gust of wind, I believe I heard the door creak, laughter inside. I know these winds of Autumnal change are telling tales, I just need to decide which seasonal voice to listen to. I have no strings attached, excited by the variety each month brings.

I'm feeling rather pensive today, mainly due to two dear friends in San Francisco who lost their jobs this week. I'm so ready for the economy to stop screwing good people out of jobs and their futures on such a broad scale.
This picture reminds me of a giant harp with golden strings. It's so beautiful up there. I miss it.

Among the horses and wildflowers, he plays, she lingers, two hearts lost in their own untamed melody..
Lights dangle from intersecting cords forming lines and angles and patterns of interest. The photograph is well anchored by the post set on the third of the frame. Clouds mix with post processing textures to create depth and more interest. Color is removed for simplicity.

I've already posted a black and white long exposure version of this awhile ago, and I thought the sun flare just looked better in color here. So, here is a rare color, short exposure architecture photograph
This was part of the LuxCity festival. Two hoops attached together by rope were hung from a crane. Different coloured lights were used to illuminate the artwork and so it seemed to glow with a gossamer quality from a distance.
I'm trying to learn panoramics to add another string to my bow and Robin Hoods Bay seems quite appropriate for that! With the "Super Moon" came very low tides and I thought that was worth capturing, this shows about half of the bay and the "Scars" revealed on the ebb. I'm guilty of negligence and noticed the stitch has left imperfections, I could have hidden them but posted too quickly - check the horizon at full size. Disappointed!
Some of the steel strings (there are 29 in total!) and corresponding adjusting pegs of my monochord instrument, that I built this summer.
They are attached to pegs on the sound board, on the upper part of the instrument, which allows to adjust their tension. After going round a smooth 90° bend, they rest on a brass rod that transmits their vibrations to the wooden resonance body.
On a monochord, all the strings are tuned to the same tone. In my case, the last six are made of brass and are tuned an octave lower.
