He really does not specialize in a single type of photography. I strive to be like him one day, but that will most likely only be a dream. My favorite photo of his is the Northern Lights and the Milky Way Galaxy. This photo is absolutely stunning with how it is set up. Everything down to the rocks on the ground seem to have a green tint to them and the reflection of the Lights upon the water show just how intense this special spectacle of light really is.
We are the earth, and our dream is the sun; it warms our skin, it shines through our dusty windows, it lets us see beauty that gleams in its golden rays. But unfortunately, many of us don’t have the courage to step outside the dark house with the dusty windows, and live the dream we only see in our surreal minds. Some of us let the dream fade into a small light in the back of our minds. Humans are so conformed
In the story “Searching for Summer,” by Joan Aiken, the importance of appreciating sunlight is a key theme in the story. When I read the story, I also noticed other themes. One theme was that--even if it is too late to bring back the past, it is not too late to protect and preserve what still exists--referring to protecting the cottage’s sunny location from Mr. Noakes’ plans for a resort. Another theme was that one good turn deserves another. At the beginning of the story, we learn that the world’s sky was covered with clouds years after bombs have been banned.
Robert Smithson Many artists have found inspiraton in the natural world, only a few have gazed at the earth with a desire to add to it. Among these artists is a man who has revolutionized contemporary art that would bring to question the issues of materials, permanence, function, and presentation(Robertsmithson.org.) Robert Smithson was born in Rutherford, New Jersey, and ever since childhood, had marveled over the forms of earth and animals. From fascination, grew a talent for art that gained him a scholorship at the Art Students League in New york, where he studied for two years and later became an advocate of abstract expressionism. While Smithson began work as a painter, he later met Nancy Holt, a sculptor who he would eventually marry.
Harry Baily is the lead pilgrim and is identified as "the host," states that in order to win the contest the pilgrim must tell “tales of best sentence and moost solaas,” this means that the pilgrim which tells the tale with a moral lesson and must be entertaining to the group during the few days that it took to make their way from London to their destination (800). Chaucer was unable to finish his one hundred twenty tales he originally planned one writing and only completed twenty-four. The most noticeable of these twenty-four tales belong to two of the most beloved pilgrims by his readers and Chaucer himself. Even though "The Pardoners Tale" was entertaining and moral "The Wife Of Baths Tale" is obviously the more moral and entertaining of the two tales. "The Wife of Bath's tale" is the more likely candidate to win against "The Pardoner's Tale" in morality side of the host's competition, the more important of the two qualities.
These writings focused mainly in the natural occurrences of things in the universe, like the rotation of the sun and the moon from dawn to dusk. Yin refers essentially to darkness and Yang to brightness. The systematic rotation of sunlight is the basis for early yin and yang. Chinese peasants depended on the sun for their daily movements. They worked when the sun was out, and rested when the sun was down.
He had always been interested in geophysics, developing fields of meteorology, and climatology. “While at Marburg, in the autumn of 1911, Wegener was browsing in the university library when he came across a scientific paper that listed fossils of identical plants and animals found on opposite sides of the Atlantic (UCMP, 2011)”. This information sparked the interest of Wegener and he started looking and finding more case of organisms that had been separated by the ocean. He realized that South America and Africa seemed to fit together. It had the appearance that if the edges of the continental shelves were closer they would match as if they were a puzzle.
Magic and Astrology creates an interesting account of how Hughes recollects what he experiences during his time with Plath at the “St. Botolph’s” Review launch party. By using astrological terms such as the “natal sun”, “Jupiter” and “Venus” as a way of explaining his explosion of feelings for Plath and their spiritual “conjunction”. The mention of “your” arrives within just past the middle of the first stanza and as with all poems that appear in “Birthday Letters”, it is the pronoun that refers to Plath. Prior to the mention of Plath, evidence of Hugh’s prediction of the party and thereafter, was implied to end in a tragedy.
These religious traditions, practices and rituals, were also influenced by other cultures beliefs, such as, the Roman influence in the Ptolemy period. ‘A remarkable feature of the Egyptian funerary religion is its complexity, which developed as new beliefs were incorporated without old ones being discarded’ (Spencer, 1982). Ancient Egyptian beliefs in afterlife changed dramatically from the Old kingdom to the New Kingdom. Although fundamental aspects did remain the same, they associated their life cycle, with their observation of nature, with the solar cycle where the Sun God Re (sun) daily passage across the sky dying at night and being reborn each morning. This continuous cycle was incorporated into their funerary beliefs that death was an extension of life and in the natural cycle afterlife was
