Day 21 of #ArtAdventCalendar: "The Count"

#birds #owls
A Great Grey Owl landing on a post. His eyes peer out from over his wing, looking similar to Dracula looking over his cape.

Enchanted forest is kinda my general #Christmas vibe. Mini-me 1.0 helped get the star up into the tree while 2.0 stared up at his big bro in wonder as per usual.

A photograph of two decorative deer on a somewhat snowy front lawn of a brick house. The large adult deer and small fawn are made from wire frames wrapped with strings of LED lights and translucent holographic plastic. The fawn is positioned with its head turned up to the larger deer who has its larger antlered head turned looking to the right over its body. A multi-pointed star similarly made from holographic plastic sheet and LED lights hangs from a tree behind them. A curving line of purple ground lights run beneath the pair of deer. The sparkle deer were originally just Daddy Deer, but two years ago I found Baby Deer and decided it was clearly meant to come live at our house. This year I found the star to add in. Mini-me 1.0 is beyond smitten with Sparkle Daddy Deer. The first year we had him, he remained up until April when I finally declared the Easter Bunny wouldn't come if our yard still looked like winter. Mini-me 2.0 already looks at his brother like he hung the stars in the sky on a normal day, so when 1.0 was eager to hang the new decoration I was hoping to capture a sweet moment of brotherly love. Instead, the toddler promptly lost his balance trying to navigate snow while staring up and nearly went face first into a pile of bunny poo. Simultaneously, the eldest decided getting up to the very top of the metal ladder in snowy boots was an excellent and totally safe plan. So there is a picture... But I am definitely not winning awards for mother-of-the-year on the back of it 🤣

Chandeliers: I am obsessed.

I photograph them, I salvage old parts to make sculptures with, I hang the crystal droppers on my Christmas tree... Love them.

This one lives in the Musée Rodin and has gorgeous plaster work above it.

A photograph taken from beneath a Marie Thérèse style chandelier in the Musée Rodin in Paris. The chandelier is partially shown on the left side of the frame. It's got brassy gold metal and a variety of clear and smoked crystal shapes. The ceiling has delicate plaster work surrounding the chandelier in swirls and flowers.

The one time in 8 years of living in London we had snow that actually lasted an entire 24 hours.

A monochromatic photograph of a tree stump in Primrose Hill on an exceptionally rare snowy day in January 2021. The cut face of the stump is at such a steep angle it is nearly vertical. A happy face has been drawn on the accumulated snow. A respectable couple centimeters of snow covers the grass, pathways, and tree branches. At the left of the frame a small dog on the path is looking backwards for its human. There are scattered, grainy blurs in the image of still falling snow.

What "urban" looked like in medieval Belgium.

Shot during a foggy evening stroll heading into The Market Square in Bruges. Buildings surrounding it include the Provincial Palace.

#UrbanGaze #PalacesAndGardens #FestiveLights #AlphabetChallenge #WeekXForChristmas #ColorADay #YellowThu #ArtYear
A photograph of a cobblestone road leading into the main Market Square of Bruges. A brick building largely in shadow dominates the right half of the frame. On the left, cafe tables are pulled tightly against a row of restaurants and shops. The furthest buildings in the square are nearly lost in the fog. A large snowflake decoration hangs above the shiny, wet stones and the blindingly bright white of the street lamps. A warm yellow light somewhere behind the buildings has turned the dough in the upper left into what could be mistaken for a hazy sunset.

'Into the Void'

Manhattan skyscrapers swallowed by winter fog which had a profound muted effect on the city acoustics!

Sparty 🙏🏼🖤🤍

This atmospheric monochrome photo captures an extreme low-angle perspective, looking vertically upward into a dense, atmospheric fog that envelops towering urban architecture. The image's dominated by strong vertical lines & high contrast, creating a stark, almost abstract representation of a city veiled in mist. On the left, a massive skyscraper ascends dramatically, its many horizontal window lines converging towards a vanishing point high above, the very top completely lost to the thick, grey haze, suggesting immense height and the overwhelming presence of the weather. Mirroring this on the right, another building rises, characterised a repeating patterns of dark, recessed windows framed by solid vertical and horizontal lines. This structure also disappears into the oppressive, monochrome sky. In the lower-left corner, a third building is partially visible. This structure has a slightly different, more ornate architectural style, with an illuminated section at its peak where several windows glow with light, providing the only source of bright illumination within the composition besides the diffused light from the sky. The sky itself is a vast expanse of greys, a featureless void where the fog has completely obscured any view of the true sky or sun. The transition between the solid forms of the buildings & the ethereal fog is soft & gradual, adding to the mysterious and somewhat isolating mood of the shot. The overall feeling is one of urban grandeur meeting natural elements, where the man-made structures are humbled by the pervasive fog. The lack of colour emphasises the textures, shapes & the interplay of light & shadow. The composition uses the edges of the frame to suggest an environment that extends far beyond what is visible, a dense concrete jungle shrouded in a silent, grey blanket. The perspective distorts the usual perception of height, making the viewer feel small & encased within this towering, misty canyon. The silence of the scene is palpable.

Cardiff Castle is Overflowing with Interesting Architectural Embellishments.

An Alarmed bird Announces an Armed-but-in-Underwear man is being Eviscerated by an Anatomically Awkward lion.

#PalacesAndGardens #AlphabetChallenge #WeekVForVowels #Details #Architecture #Wales #Photography #Alt-Text
Detail shot of a decorative embellishment added to Cardiff Castle during the Gothic Revival renovation to the medieval castle in the mid 1800s. Wall coverings are in shades of burgundy with many gold details presumably because yellow is for peasants. A border separates two different burgundy patterns. Linear bands of olive green are at the top and bottom. An alternating pattern of blue and pink follows moving inward. At the centre, a blue and green bird is flapping its wings animatedly and calling back to a second blue bird with a pink head. They are standing on green ground with an entirely gold background because of course they are. Decorative mouldings forming the start of an arch on the wall are painted Tiffany blue and a coordinating softer grey-green that looks like it might be paint they had left from Fortnum and Mason. At the base, a man and a lion are engaged in battle. The literally golden-haired man is wielding a sword and shield, but only wearing underwear. The man is looking upwards, presumably regretting the choices leading to this moment. Meanwhile, the 100% gold lion has a clawed paw splayed across the underdressed belly of the man. The lion is grimacing at the prospect of getting guts in the very lovely braid running through his mane. It was probably meant to be a halo, but the monkey who put it in was hanging the wrong way so instead it's a chinstrap. A brown vine/tree with green leaves is wrapped around both figures. It's unclear if they fell into the bush, or if the bush is of the enchanted sort and trying to break up the fight.

Queuing at the Jewel House within The Tower of London to see the Crown's shinies.

#PalacesAndGardens #People #UrbanGaze #HumansOfBlueSky #SensoryArt #Lines #EastCoastKin #Photography #Motherhood
A young boy with brown hair, a blue wool jacket, brown corduroy trousers, and white trainers is gripping a black iron railing. With one foot up on a stone curb and his free arm jutting forward, he manages to be in nearly perpetual motion in contrast to the static queue formed along the rest of the railing. The grey-brown stones of the Jewel House walls are at the left of the frame. The courtyard is paved with similarly coloured interlocking square and rectangular slabs.

Stop asking me what the baby "wants" for Christmas; I'm dangerously close to giving the honest answer:

- single socks
- old textbooks

My wild guess is that if "orders are presumed lawful" language is in the USMC the actual context is something to the effect of 'an effective chain of command relies on the expectation that ranking members will only issue orders which can be presumed lawful. Should this expectation not be met...'

A blue hydrangea turning pink as it dries out.

A macro shot of a hydrangea cluster which has begun to dry out. The underlying blue/purple tone can still be seen on some petals, but most are deepening into a rich pink shade. The driest ones have turned yellow-brown with one near the bottom middle of the frame looking especially crunchy. The deep green leaves are out of focus in the top right corner of the frame.

One of the decommissioned *engine* gears at Geevor Tin Mine in Cornwall. Visiting there is such an interesting snapshot of the once major industry of the area.

#BlueSkyMonday #MinimalMonday #AlphabetChallenge #WeekVForVowels #SensoryArt #Lines #ArtYear #smArtist #EastCoastKin #Photography
A photograph of a massive engine gear of a decommissioned tin mine. The interior of the gear is painted a bright blue. The exterior has three stacked rings which have an orange rusty tone. The pattern on the rings is a series of slanted parallel lines. The middle ring shafts in the opposite direction of the top and bottom creating a herringbone effect. The floor is painted cobalt blue. In the top left corner there is a partially visible warning sign about "Volts". Presumably running a machine this size required a lot of volts.
