Corona is stupid

During the first weeks of the corona lockdown, some children started a snake made of large painted pebbles.  By now the line has grown to over 400 pebbles.  And I wholeheartedly concur with the message on some of them – Corona is stupid!

Yesterday came geometry

2022 geometry c

Very basic geometric shapes – square, circle, triangle.

2022 geometry b

And up this radio tower (with inverted colours) you can find the same basics: square, circle, triangles.

2022 geometry a

Geometry in fashion: Argyle socks.

2022 geometry d

And finally, making patterns in a completely different medium.

I’m a fan of hares

069 rabbit f

This hare was far away in the fields last week and as I was trying to get a photo of it a man approached me and asked – quite suspiciously, I thought – what I was shooting.  It took him a bit to see the hare and we both came very close to violating physical distance rules because I wanted to let him look through my camera.  Of course, the hare who had been munching happily on the green stalks took its chance and disappeared.

069 rabbit e

I seem to have a knack to catch hares from the rear.

069 rabbit c

This one did its best to hide, keeping low in the grass.

069 rabbit d

But when it realised that the game was up, it upped and disappeared in the woods.

069 rabbit a

And the same story last year, when the grass was already higher.

Aino’s template for the Värikollaasit / Colour Collage this week were these peppery colours:

and I played around.  This collage is too blue but I love the swan and his prominent beak:

I then took other beaks into the mix: swan, duck, goose, and stork:

And here I contrasted the softness of a painting with the starkness of a cartoon:

And I can’t make up my  mind which I like best.

If you want to have a look what others did with the pepper spice colour, have a look.

Perchance to dream

Traumland

Dreamland.  The undiscovered land? Perhaps.  At least, the not-quite-(yet?)-discovered land.

What do these furballs dream of?  Do they dream at all?

2020 dream e

And how about stones?  Do they dream?

2020 dream f

Dreaming: Going through a door … but which side is dreamside?

2020 dream g

The important thing, though, is: Let your dreams outlast the night.

Mithras temple

2021 worship a

2021 worship b

The ruins of this temple were found near Carrawburgh Roman Fort on Hadrian’s Wall. The three altars are replicas.  The soldiers stationed at the Fort built the temple around 200 AD to worship Mithras.  Mithraism was a Roman cult long thought to be inspired by Iranian beliefs connected to Zoroastricsm but newer research finds this less convincing.  However, this was a temple and there was worshipping going on.
