Bit of a fuzzy close up of the nest. Lots of swallows and sparrows nesting in it too.
Been to see the stork again. Obsessed.
Peregrine Falcon (Falco peregrinus) at a site in Co. Limerick yesterday morning. This bird is ringed, and the National Parks and Wildlife Service (NPWS) has confirmed that it is a two-year-old female that fledged from a site in north Co. Cork.
The Surreal Fluidity of Nakaji Yasui’s Seaside This 1938 photograph by Nakaji Yasui, a pioneer of the "New Photography" (Shinkaigashin) movement, presents a pier where utilitarian railroad tracks appear strangely warped and liquid. Titled Seaside, the image utilizes an experimental, low-angle perspective to transform rigid industrial steel into a series of undulating, serpentine lines that seem to flow toward the horizon. This subversion of the expected provides a surrealist quality, capturing the avant-garde spirit that moved Japanese photography away from pictorialism and toward a more graphic, modernist expression.
Captured in 1938 by Nakaji Yasui, a key figure in Japan’s "New Photography" movement, this image depicts a pier with strangely warped railroad tracks. The photograph is known as "Seaside" and showcases Yasui's signature style of using experimental angles to create a surreal, fluid composition.
Got bored tonight, so I downloaded 3 hours worth of Earthcam replay / archive footage from their Skydeck camera atop of the Willis Tower (Sears Tower) in Chicago and made a time lapse of the fog rolling in off Lake Michigan. Good illustration of how our atmosphere behaves like any other fluid. #ilwx
I was reading a recent article today that cited a paper that seemed perfect for my research. I went to find the article. It does not exist. Totally made up. Should I let the journal know?

View of wooden back porches to two nice apartment blocks in Chicago. all painted grey. It's winter. There's a railway line on the horizon. It's The Rock Island Line into Chicago, USA. Remember the Lonnie Donegal song?

A partly finished drawing of a raccoon in coloured pencil on grey toned paper. Most of the face is finished, but there is still some to go and the body hasn't been coloured yet. A bunch of coloured pencils are sitting on the ledge of the wooden easel.
I've been having a lot of fun walking my students through this drawing of a raccoon. It's been a great class so far.
Paint on paper. Cadmium yellow verticals left hand side cerulean blue from the right hand side.
