Towards the end of my life, i would carry alot of what I had collected in this life time...
Rubbish might they be, still ... memories of my short time here.
Looking south down Occidental. I believe this was my first time actually getting food from one of these stands.
Towards Tromsø, the Arctic City.
Tromsø's just round the corner - a nice city, but a bit cut off. And of course dark for 24 hours a day in winter.
Had a few drinks in an underground bar here, I think Pub Carl Johan, and found out later my mate in the Merchant Navy used to drink there when he was in Tromsø. At first this seemed to be a major coincidence, but on further thought I realised it would be more surprising to find a bar in a port where he hadn't drunk!
Also, mind out for Absynth bars!
Romanticism- “to say the word romanticism is to say modern art-= that is, intimacy, spirituality, color, aspiration towards the infinite, expressed by every means available to the arts.” Charles Baudelaire
This quote from Charles Baudelaire is saying that the idea of romanticism permeates several aspects of life, which transform the way people think about life and nature. Spirituality, intimacy, and the aspiration towards the infinite are all themes that have been vividly depicted throughout art and have transcended time to appear in popular culture and art today.
I chose this picture to represent romanticism because it embodies the aspiration towards the infinite, a sense of spirituality in the sense that there is a deeper appreciation for the nature in the painting. It also shows a sort of intimacy with nature. Even though the people in the painting look like they are dressed for some sort of civilized event, there seems to be some sense of practicality and normality to there demeanor; implying their familiarity with nature.
These dolphins are the coolest things! They're made mostly out of metal, but their tails are shaped to catch the wind so they twist and turn constantly.
