Notable passage from my unwritten novel:

Eleanor was mad mostly because she had no idea what she was mad about.

Like Neil Young said,
"It's all one song!"
Shannon rocks.
Neil's quote makes sense now.

A painter’s brush could not invent
The shifting shades so transient
The bubble holds a canvas small
Then bursts to nothingness at all

A close-up of a soap bubble reveals swirling iridescent colors and abstract patterns shaped by light interference.

#bubble #macrophotography

A macro photograph of a single soap bubble, captured in extreme close-up, revealing a mesmerizing array of iridescent colors and fluid patterns across its curved surface. The bubble’s thin film displays swirling gradients of pink, orange, blue, green, and violet, created by light interference interacting with the varying thickness of the soap layer. These colors shift and blend organically, forming abstract ribbons and waves that evoke the look of marbled glass or oil on water. The curvature of the bubble is evident, with the top edge arching gently and the lower portion fading into shadow, suggesting a spherical form. The background is dark and unobtrusive, allowing the vibrant hues and delicate textures of the bubble to stand out with striking clarity. There are no visible reflections or external objects, keeping the focus entirely on the ephemeral beauty of the bubble’s surface. The image conveys a sense of fragility, transience, and wonder, highlighting the physics of thin-film interference and the unexpected elegance found in everyday materials.

Photograph taken in the upstairs bedroom of a C19th Pennsylvanian log house from a farm in Greene County, now on site in 'America' at the Ulster American Folk Park, Omagh. My favourite building at this fantastic living museum - it has the most lovely veranda to sit out on and look out beyond.

Six pane window with a pale blue wooden surround tucks under the sloping eaves of whitewashed boarding. There is a simple muslin curtain hanging to the left. Below is a dark wood table with a white urn and pitcher with a horizontal blue stripe. Through the window comes a gentle autumnal light and a scene of autumn trees.

Nach dem Regen leuchtet der Himmel über dem Wattenmeer. 🌊
After the rain, the #sky above the Wadden Sea glows.

Ein weiter Himmel mit verstreuten Wolken, die in verschiedenen Grautönen und Blau erscheinen, dominiert die obere Bildhälfte. Am Horizont ist ein schmaler Streifen gelben Sonnenlichts zu sehen, der sich über die dunkle, flache Landschaft erstreckt. Im Vordergrund spiegelt eine ruhige Wasserfläche den Himmel und die Wolken wider.

YOU

I thought about you
I dreamed
I can still feel you
in the morning

At my window
I see only
the perigee moon
way up high

(2025)

#supermoon #atmywindow #you #perigeemoon

View from my window in the morning.
Mostly the sky with the supermoon.
A part of a roof, trees.

Warren Zevon's letzter Auftritt war nicht als solcher geplant, vermutlich wurde das Konzert nebenbei mitgeschnitten.
Gut 20 Jahre später, gibt es ein "Official Bootleg".
Live im Duo, die Songs von rauh bis zart/zerbrechlich.
Kein Feuerwerk für den Hörer, eher ein Kaminfeuer,
das (das Herz) wärmt.

"If we make it through #December
Everything's gonna be all right, I know
It's the coldest time of #winter
And I shiver when I see the falling snow
If we make it through December
Got plans to be in a warmer town come summertime
Maybe even California
If we make it through December, we'll be fine"
