How to create your own storm in a glass of water
Bored and no money to party? No movies left to see and theater is not your cup of tea? A storm in a glass of water is your answer.
Wesly van de Batenburg teaches how to do it with only one coin and you can even take pictures of the event to show to your friends.
Go and get the glass with water and the coin. You are lucky! Your glass is half full! Have a great Sunday!

Zimbabwe: The truth will set you free exhibition
I thought about publishing pictures of torture in Zimbabwe but I found these paintings and they are so good that speaks louder than photographies.
It is again from Flickr By Sokwanele - Zimbabwe and is registered here: “The truth will set you free” – art exhibition organised by Radio Dialogue

Free flying eagles on a billboard
St. Paul eagles
Flying eagles billboard on the West side (Plato Boulevard & Starkey Street) St. Paul, MN. by Dan Anderson..
When we first look we see two eagles free flying only to discover that they are pictures in a photography. How ironic the name of one of the streets is Plato.
Great shot!

The angle we humans see trees
I just found these photographies at Flickr and it reminded me some of the pictures I took at the art school I was taking classes in my twenties.
If only I was a bird...
Have a great Saturday!

Anti Iraq war protesters - The March of the Dead
Try searching "anti war protests" and you will see that the results are not at the mainstream media, they are at anti war activists sites and some blogs.
This is a strategy to tell people that there is nothing to be done and nobody cares. Many people are not silent and many are deeply concerned and I have posted about February, 15 2003 anti-invasion protest.
In March, 18 2008 protesters blocked the traffic and government buildings in Washington to mark the fifth anniversary of the Iraq war.
A group of protesters did "The March of the Dead" to symbolize the death of civilians and military people.
More pictures of the protest here.
"Far from the eyes of the people." Ironic: "weapons of mass destruction" are being used in Iraq.

Albert Einstein Memorials at Washington and at Ulm
Left: "The Albert Einstein Memorial in Washington's National Mall neighborhood is one of the most instantly recognizable landmarks in Washington DC. Measuring 12 feet / 3.5 meters, this large and imposing statue of Albert Einstein is actually seated on a bench, at the front of Washington's National Academy of Sciences." Sculpture by Robert Berks. Photo" By wallyg at Flickr.
Right: detail of "Jürgen Goertz bronze sculpture of Albert Einstein, Ulm’s internationally most famous son, in 1984. It is located on the grounds of historic Zeughaus. (Zeughaus is Ulm’s historic arsenal; today it is home to parts of Ulm’s municipal court.)
It consists of three elements:
The rocket symbolizes technology, the conquest of the universe and the atomic threat.
On this base you see a big snail shell which symbolises the opposite, namely nature, wisdom and skepticism about mankind’s dominance of technology."
The right photography is by by Kakapo2
"It has become appallingly obvious that our technology has exceeded our humanity."
Albert Einstein
Update: June, 14 2011
I changed the right picture because the previous one belongs to a blogger that I couldn't find the name and just making a link is not enough. I like this one! I love watermarks. I think all images should have them because it makes it easier for everybody to attribute, something I'm very careful.

Mimetism: imitating to survive
Left: Flounder in Italy (picture by tropposnello)
Right: Flounder in Brazil (by MLyra)
Mimetism is the way some animals avoid predators by imitating natural elements like the color of the environment they live.
Flounders have stains in their bodies that mimic the soil they live.
Two examples of how precise they are.
There are other forms of camouflages like "playing dead".
Click to enlarge the pictures. It took me a while to understand the left picture.

Henry Miller: a good companion when one is having a Season in Hell
I have to stop using the computer for some days because of back problems so I will share with you what I'm rereading by Henry Miller.
No, not one of the "Tropics".
It is a 163 pages book he wrote about Rimbaud:
"Henry Miller's The Time of the Assassins : A Study of Rimbaud (1949 New Directions Publishing, 163 pp).
It is not a critical essay and it has more to due with an autobiography and his moral and intellectual legacy.
He makes some approximations between artists and dedicates a long part comparing Rimbaud and Van Gogh's lives taking into consideration not the craziness but a circumstance that few biographies remember, especially about Van Gogh ,: the poverty both lived and the impact it had on their way of being in the world.
I'm having a good time rereading it and finding some thoughts that although written sixty-one years ago reflect the same problems of today.
I hope I can update the blog. If not I will try to publish some excerpts I like:
And this is Rimbaud:
Image: Preface of the book picture taken By Joe Camel published at Flickr
"Rimbaud restored literature to life, I have endeavored to restore life to literature. In both of us the confessional quality is strong, the moral and spiritual preoccupation uppermost."
"I think there are many Rimbauds in this world and that their number will increase with time. I think the Rimbaud type will displace, in the world to come, the Hamlet type and the Faustian type. The trend is toward a deeper split. Until the Until the old world dies out utterly, the "abnormal" individual will tend more and more to become the norm. The new man will find himself only when thewarfare between the collectivity and the individual ceases. Then we shall see the human type in its fullness and splendor."
To get the full import of Rimbaud's Season in Hell, which lasted eighteen years, one has to read..."
Henry Miller
And this is Rimbaud:
"I invented the colors of the vowels!- A black, I red, O blue, U green- I made rules for the form and movement of each consonant, and, and with instinctive rhythms, I flattered myself that I created a poetic language accessible, some day, to all the senses."A black, I red, O blue, U green
-Une Saison en Enfer, "Délires II: Alchimie du Verbe"

The animation is an extra and you can take a tour at his site where he did some incredible animations that look like videos.
