TUE 18 MAY: Wandering around in the eastern part of Copenhagen today. Heading home I followed the railway,
and suddenly stumbled upon this sight: 2 strange signs, that looked abandoned, and yet not...
FRI 14 MAY: The summer seems far away right now. Hey Sun, where did you go..?
FRI 23 APR: Visited Bellahøj, together with Mikala, to watch an art exibition. Not far way, but I haven't been here for years...
THUR 22 APR: Heading home, a late night, I noticed this strange lamp, hovering above, in the wind...
TUE 20 APR: Just stumbled upon this site that combines music and astronomy, in a literal sense:
Here you can listen to the sound of stars slowly revolving. More specific it works like this:
The brightest stars slowly revolve around the North Star.
An note is played when a star cross the center line.
Pitch is based on color / temperature.
Volume is based on apparent brightness.
Stereo panning is based on screen position.
A very simple idea, but one could fear the result just being a lot of random noise. Nope.
It actually sounds rather good, and quite etherial. Listen here: wheelof.com/stars/
Quoting the creator Jim Bumgardner: "Basically, this is a very literal kind of ''music of the spheres'', and is typical of my projects, which often involve circles and music. This idea for making a music box out of stars was a natural progression from some previous projects of mine, like the Whitney Music Box, and Musical Chess, which you might also enjoy..."
I haven't tried the musical chess yet, but that too sounds interesting...
SUN 4 APR: Oops, what happened to the pavement? They are alway digging somewhere in a city. They're also digging right now...
TUE 2 FEB: The annual snowstorm arrived, and for a few hours everything was white, white, white...
FRI 8 JAN: People have a tendency to borrow pictures, without bothering to ask for permission.
And I usually doesn't mind too much, provided it's for a personal or non-commercial purpose.
So, it was pleasant surprise to read this request:
Hello! We are putting together a website for the Durham Volunteer Fire Department in Durham, CA, USA - at no cost to them.
We found your fire wallpaper and want to make sure we can use it. How would we credit it?
The site is www.durhamvolunteerfire.org and you can see how it is used.
Thank you, DeAnna Holman. Editor in Chief, Publisher. Community Seeds e-Magazine. www.communityseeds.com
Thanks for asking! Permission granted...
SUN 3 JAN: A new website for a new decade, I thought. What I didn't think of was the sheer amount of material
I would then need to transfer, reformat, resize, rearrange. In short, this will take some time.
So, in the meantime, don't be confused if the layout suddenly (and temporarily) changes;
that's just one of the old pages, not yet upgraded. But it will, in time.
After all, I only need to move 3000 pictures, one by one...
