Ah yes, I love cloud gazing! The other night I saw a sunset pink fish. (shaped cloud smiley - rofl).(hah, inspiration for photos)

I'm afraid the kirlian photo got lost in the mists of time, my friend. Would be so cool for smiley - thepost. Tell you what, if I get to the Brighton MBS Festival, I'll see if the kirlian people are still around. heheh. The Kirlians, my Cousins. smiley - mars.That won't be till November, but better late than never.

I don't know if they still do kirlian photography, it was all the rage in the late 70s, early 80s.

I want to keep working on contributions for smiley - thepost, smiley - musicalnote with a little help from my friends smiley - musicalnote.

....Oh look!

Okay...Kirlian photography led to some art-project nonsense by me.

Two versions of Vitruvian Man - one by da Vinci, one not - put through the spatiotemporal meat grinder.

Poems, anyone? smiley - whistle

That's incred. smiley - rofl They are amazing. Had to google Vitruvian Man. smiley - rofl. Now where is poetlady, or other wandering poets, when we need them. heheh.

Funny thing smiley - rofl, I just spent the last half hour putting more of my photos through the art filters, whoah, some strange lighting going on. I wish I had a kirlian camera, or an x ray camera, smiley - rofl, or stick my hand in the scanner no! no!

Sorry, you've left me behind and I'll have to smiley - run to catch up.

I think I understand about Mad Jack Fuller, and about Leonardo's drawing of the Vitruvian man. But I didn't know about Kirylian photography and, although I like the idea of a spatiotemporal meatgrinder, I don't quite understand it. smiley - doh

Have I missed something?

No smiley - rofl, fear not mvp.

We're OK now. smiley - rofl. We got a bit carried away by luminous kirlian angels. smiley - angel

I'm adding the final tints to a strange photo of a pepperpot. That's a nice cure for us. smiley - rofl.

Spatiotemporal meatgrinder? What???

Ah yes, the kirlian question. Aura photography, or a camera effect. It's like the orbs that people photograph these days. Are they orbs, or a digital camera effect.

Some say it is what it is, some say it isn't what it isn't.

And on that philosophical note, have to catch early Exeter train ...smiley - run

Speak soon smiley - kiss

Just stopping off to tell about the cabbage white smiley - angel

I was feel a little stressy about driving today

A cabbage white came along and danced around me, she said 'It will be fine'. I said 'I know it will be alright but it is all the better for knowing you are there' smiley - kiss

She said 'Thank you for the cabbages, it is good to know you care' smiley - kiss
I said 'It is a pleasure to share beautiful dancing butterfly'

And she left smiley - zen

I saw a smiley - bluebutterfly flit across our garden the other day, and I've seen orange tips around.

But it's still cold and there haven't been many bees.

OK, campers I found our skinks. They are non venomous and fast.

They have racing stripes which is appropriate for the land of NASCAR racing.
