The Miami Tour

Brandt Brauer Frick+ Om’Mas Keith at XOYO. 

Hear, See, Capture… My brain was dancing inside my skull as the MegaBytes was consumed on my CF card and the crowd was jumping and sweating behind me. BBF and Mr. Keith passed by London’s XOYO on their Miami album tour in March and Damn,  this album sounds… !!!!!!YES!!!!! live.  Techno with classical instruments- if you haven’t heard of them already check out their site:

Altostratus or Stratus?

What actually is this grey I see above me?? Is it a cloud? or has the sky changed colour and my world forever changed to grey?

This year I’ve had plenty of hours to wonder about the grey sky and found out there are many different varieties. However,  according to the book, The Cloudspotter’s Guide by Gavin Pretor-Pinney, the most boring cloud (above) is likely to be the Altostratus Cloud.

‘Altostratus are mid-level layers of grey cloud, which are either featureless or fibrous in appearance, typically extended over and area of several thousand square miles. Usually composed of both water droplets and ice crystals. Typical altitude; 6,500-23,000 ft.’

Sounds bang on, but- warning- the Altostratus can also be confused with a low-level Stratus, Cirro- or Nimbostratus.  

Regardless of type of Stratus cloud, to me it look like a giant Softbox, and it feels like it just fell over and hit me in my head!!

Cats!!!

Cats have excellent night vision and can see at only one-sixth the light level required for human vision. But their colour vision is not as good, and they can have difficulties distinguishing between red and green.

This picture is from my archive of a cat called Josie. One day she decided to  pose for me, like only real cats do!

Tangible!

one of my favorite words

AirPort Fun!

Airports are fascinating places, and to me, one of the best places to think! Some airports are ‘designer airports’ built all in one go, but most airports are like decades patched together. 60’-70’- 2010 and back to the 80’s again. The time is transit, and everything and everyone is moving. Moving on, Passing through! People move from one place to the other holding small books of different colours with gold letters, most with their personal Fairy on wheels.  There are rules on top of laws and laws with no rules. All is human made, on a flat piece of land. Humans have organised themselves, for themselves- just so they can land and take off in an aluminum container. Then float on air to the next destination.

From now and onwards I’ll upload pictures from airports onto this post.

Just Kicking it!
