when art and science collide

I am constantly reminded that there is a time and place for everything. For several years now, I have noticed and had access to the glass cylinder sitting on top of my science guy’s bookcase. But for the first time, today I photographed it. You see, he bumped the bookcase this morning, knocking the cylinder to the floor. It was a close call but luckily it hit the carpeted part.
A Galileo thermometer. Read more here. A gift from family. He tried to replace it on top of the shelf, but the morning sunlight hit it and that was that. I gently took it from his hand. At his quizzical look, I said, “I’ll be careful. Promise.”
And so far, I have been. 😉

Brooks in Blue and Browns

This weekend Steve and I were lucky enough to spend a couple of hours in the woods of the Brooks Estate surrounded by blues and browns, sheets of ice and, of course, layered light. We brought along food to entice the squirrels but few did we see this time. Maybe next week. 😉
Simply Water on a Window

As I raced around this morning, I noticed the early morning light shining through windows still covered with condensation.
To view the water, to stare into the tiny pools imbued with color from the world outside … it was a wonderful moment of pause in the day.

Irene’s Impact (So Far)

So far, thankfully, Irene has had less impact than expected where I am. During a quick jaunt outside between bands of rain, I found broken branches, pools of water and a few people standing with faces to the air feeling the lingering breeze. I found myself looking down and this is what I saw:
Vertical Symmetry

Recently Steve shared pictures from a trip abroad. Dreamy images of a Canadian landscape with narrow strips of land separating sky and water. Beautiful images to be sure, but what made them truly fascinating was Steve’s perspective as he shared them. He suggested in terms of their display the images should be rotated 90 degrees thus highlighting what he had been trying to capture — the reflection of the landscape in (often) still waters creating perfect symmetry, i.e. use the vertical line, not the horizontal, to heighten the viewer’s experience of the reflection. See what you think. 😉
I must admit, as I viewed some of these images at their new orientation, I began to “see” complex and rich structures that had nothing to do with their actual subject matter (trees, water, sky). I especially thought of the green man in the woods figure with this one.
What do you see?
