Houses of Malange, Angola _______________________________________________________________________ 555 cães guardam 555 bois: não há pasto. os pastores recolhem o leite nas vacas desnutridas. a manada está silenciosa. a matinha ouve 555 gemidos de silêncio. e os pássaros criam 555 ninhos nas estradas da metáfora do número.

Cuenca? Nochevieja 2004 Bueno, ya que las dos me habeis dedicado un pequeño homenaje, ahi va el mio. Un beso muy grande a las dos NANOART - Original. The artist created a nanosculpture (sculpture at molecular and atomic levels) by hydrolyzation (chemical process) of a tiny drop of a Titanium organometallic compound and by coating the structure with Gold (by sputtering - physical process) in order to be best visualized with a Scanning Electron Microscope. The monochromatic micrograph has been painted and manipulated digitally and the final image was printed on canvas with archival inks specially formulated to last for a long time. NanoArt is a new artistic discipline at the art-science border. Contact the artist for more details. The depth and three dimensions achieved in NanoArt set this process of electron imaging apart from Photography. During this artistic-scientific process the images are created by electrons (electrically charged particles) rather than photons (particles of light) as in Photography. The electrons penetrate deeper inside the structure creating images with more depth, more natural 3D look than photographic images. Limited Edition Prints (edition size 10) are also available for this artwork for US$ 795 for 48cm x 33cm size. All prints are hand-signed and numbered by the artist. Custom sizes are available for the Limited Edition. Contact the artist for details. Repost 2005 My mother, at about nine years old, at her Uncle Bob's farm. (1937). She was quite a tomboy then, so she said. (This was supposed to be her climbing a tree but I oopsed and I like this shot . . .) It's funny to me how she is in so many shots with a dog - we had ONE dog all theyears of my childhood. She did not get another dog until after I went to college! But we *always* had at least one cat. She never did lose her zest for new things - when she was much older she learned to fly fish and cross-country ski and became quite an advanced amateur photographer and all kinds of things. She was the best Scout Troop leader I ever had, because she had a wonderful imagination. She was a very troubled soul most of her life; but she could be a wonderful friend and companion when she was feeling good. She passed away in 1992, and I hope and pray her soul is at rest in God now, at last

Rainbow at Newgrange, winter solstice 2002 (white quartz facade) DOWNLOADABLE image (there are many more) from Knowth.com http://www.knowth.com/wallpaper.htm The interior: http://www.knowth.com/newgrange-interior.htm The Megalithic Passage Tomb at Newgrange was built about 3200 BC. The kidney shaped mound covers an area of over one acre and is surrounded by 97 kerbstones, some of which are richly decorated with megalithic art. The 19 metre long inner passage leads to a cruciform chamber with a corbelled roof. It is estimated that the construction of the Passage Tomb at Newgrange would have taken a work force of 300 at least 20 years. The passage and chamber of Newgrange are illuminated by the winter solstice sunrise. A shaft of sunlight shines through the roof box over the entrance and penetrates the passage to light up the chamber. The dramatic event lasts for 17 minutes at dawn from the 19th to the 23rd of December. Admission to the chamber of the tomb at Newgrange for the Winter Solstice sunrise is by lottery, application forms are available at the reception desk in the Brú na Bóinne Visitor Centre. For the 2006 draw 27,485 applications were submitted. In later September, 50 names are drawn, 10 names for each morning the chamber is illuminated, 2 places in the chamber are awarded to each of the names drawn. Megalithic mounds such as Newgrange entered Irish mythology as sídhe or fairy mounds. Newgrange was said to be the home of Oenghus, the god of love. The Passage Tomb at Newgrange was re-discovered in 1699 by the removal of material for road building. A major excavation of Newgrange began in 1962; the original facade of sparkling white quartz was rebuilt using stone found at the site. Newgrange has been designated a World Heritage Site by UNESCO and attracts 200,000 visitors per year. There is no direct access to the Passage Tomb at Newgrange, access is by guided tour from the Brú na Bóinne Visitor Centre located close to the village of Donore, Co. Meath. The last tour of Newgrange is 90 minutes before closing time of the Visitor Centre. Groups of 15 or more must book in advance. Images of Newgrange with the option to display larger views. Twelve Standing Stones survive of what may have been an arc at the front of the mound or possibly a complete circle of about 35 stones surrounding the mound. Images from inside the chamber at Newgrange including the tri-spiral design on orthostat C10 which is probably the most famous Irish Megalithic symbol. It is often referred to as a Celtic design, but it was carved at least 2500 years before the Celts reached Ireland. At 12 inches in diameter the tri-spiral design is quite small in size, less than one-third the size of the tri-spiral design on the entrance stone. Gavrinis in Brittany is remarkable similar to Newgrange. The cairn is about 5500 years old, it is 60 metres in diameter and covers a passage and chamber which is lined with elaborately engraved stones. In the passage and chamber 23 of the 29 upright stones are engraved with zig-zags, concentric circles, herring bones, axes, bows and arrows. this is the cross on top of Mount Royal/ Mont Royal. The first mayor said that he would carry a cross up to the top of Mount Royal if something happened (i forget what)..and it did. So he did, and this is to commemorate it. It can be seen from all over the city and glows at night. i thought it was quite majestic.
