Robert ParkeHarrison and his wife, Shana ParkeHarrison are photographers...Their book THE ARCHITECT'S BROTHER is wonderful! Here's what he says: "My photographs tell stories of loss, human struggle, and personal exploration within landscapes scarred by technology and over-use…. [I] strive to metaphorically and poetically link laborious actions, idiosyncratic rituals and strangely crude machines into tales about our modern experience." --Robert ParkeHarrison I love the tone of the images, and the bizarre whimsy that I find in them... and there is something about the portrayal of 'man' ( in suits no less) trying to harness and control the landscapes and elements that are found organically in nature. There's also a sense of movement in this series that i love...i also love that there is a narrative evident...the images lull me into wanting to deconstruct that story. I'm a sucker for the idea of static images creating/suggestion momentum and movement/story. :) What do you think? http://www.geh.org/parkeharrison/ |

I am going to go explore, because I love expanding my brain by experiencing what comes from the mind of a new (to me) artist. So far, I find his work fascinating, and wild. This one caught my eye first: http://www.geh.org/parkeharrison/images/RPH14_jpg.jpg |

CONCORD, N.H. (AP) — An alternative to cremation that was shot down a few years ago by New Hampshire’s House is making a comeback.
The House votes Wednesday whether to allow human bodies to be dissolved into a soapy liquid. The process uses lye, 300-degree heat and 60 pounds of pressure per square inch to destroy bodies in big stainless-steel cylinders. It leaves behind a coffee-colored liquid with the consistency of motor oil and a strong ammonia smell. ------- The movie Soylent Green is coming to mind. |
No. The image does not depict UFOs.
It's actually Solar Analemma!
“What’s a Solar Analemma?” I am so glad you asked! https://fbcdn-sphotos-d-a.akamaihd.n...15029863_o.jpg [COLOR="rgb(105, 105, 105)"] Photograph the position of the Sun in the sky every day, at the same time (for example 2pm) from the same place (for example a hilltop on Earth). If you do this for one complete year, you will have 365 positions recorded. If you superimpose these positions onto one image, you will notice a pattern. An obscure figure 8. This pattern is referred to as a Solar Analemma! [/COLOR] |

This is a glasswing butterfly (Greta oto), a brush-footed butterfly with transparent wings. They're found from from Mexico through to Panama and have a wingspan of 5.6 to 6.1 cm. |

THOUGHTFUL words
(Disclaimer here: same one I always write – I speak only for myself – my beliefs and thoughts – are only mine – I just write – because well…I write).
______________I’ve been thinking the past weeks about words…the words we say to people we know…how they affect them – how they might be hurtful…there is that very familiar quote that says: “Oh the comfort, the inexpressible comfort of feeling safe with a person, having neither to weigh thoughts nor measure words, but pouring them all right out, just as they are—chaff and grain together-certain that a faithful hand will take and sift them, keep what is worth keeping, and with the breath of kindness blow the rest away.” ________I think that quote – gets used as an “excuse” sometimes for people to think they can just say anything they want to say to friends or loved ones or partners or wives or husbands – because they think – well – I can say what I feel (because) I love them or (because) I’ve know them so long – they will understand – or they won’t take it the wrong way – or gosh – even if I do upset them – it’s okay – (because) well…they should know “how” I meant it – or it shouldn’t upset them – because well...it just shouldn’t …because I’ve known them so long or I love them…so that gives me “license” to just say whatever I want – because it makes (me) feel better. Well, I’m sorry – but no – (wrong answer). If I have known you for so long – (or) if I love you…I should give (more) weight to my words or thoughts (because) I love you or have been friends with you so long … I should care (more) about how my words might affect you (or) hurt or upset you. Just because I am “comfortable” with you – doesn’t give me license to say anything to you I want without thought to the consequence of how my words might affect you…if I love you and am your friend – I should care (more)…I shouldn’t just get to say anything I want – and expect you to keep what is worth saying and “blow the rest away” … to (my) way of thinking – I should care enough (and) be responsible enough to say things (not) in a hurtful way – and not make (you) responsible for my lack of not being able to think before I speak. I think the quote was intended as a way of saying I am “comfortable” enough in being brave enough to “talk to” or “discuss” with you (after giving thoughtful care of how and when and where to do that)…but not just “say whatever I want – whenever I want” and you will understand because we are friends or because I love you. For me – and again, for me only … BECAUSE I care about my long-time friends or even acquaintances and especially to the one I love – I absolutely want to “take care” in how I speak and how I say things – and what I say – or how they might “take or rather understand” what I am saying or writing – why should I want them to have sift through “bad or crappy” things I might say – just because I think I “can” and they will just “blow” it away as if the lack of respect I might have for them in (not) taking care of how I speak will have no effect on them whatsoever… As always – just my two cents worth… |
