Somewhere by Magda Vacariu

70×70 cm, Acrylic on Canvas, Nov. 2009 / Tout ce que tu veux / by Léo Ferré / Album: On n’est pas sérieux, quand on a dix-sept ans / Et tout ce que tu veux n’appartient qu’aux couleurs / Aux oiseaux de la nuit quand la nuit te fait femme / Au vent qui reverdit sous l’arche de la peur / A la mer qui rougit et qui fourbit ses armes Aux marins qui ressemblent aux enfants de la mer / A cette herbe exaucée qu’on dit du pain des hommes / A la dune qui croit que le sable c’est elle / Alors qu’il n’appartient qu’aux amants qui l’effacent Aux chansons de ces ports où l’on ne va jamais / Aux ombres dans les soirs qui se prennent pour toi / Aux passions des insectes dans les slows de l’été / Aux raisons de l’amour que les fous te proposent A la folie consciente et barrée au feu rouge / Au vert qui s’habitue à voir d’outre saison / Aux désordres passés dans la machine à songes / A l’oubli de te regarder dans ton vison Au rien qui te fait toi quand tu ne crois en rien / A ces chants de la nuit à l’agonie des choses / A l’ombre que j’emploie à tant t’illuminer / Au mal qui fout sa gueule au fond d’un poudrier Et tout ce que je veux n’appartient qu’aux jardins / A la fleur qui ressemble à la fleur que j’invente / Aux parfums de la nuit qui se prennent la main / Pour te cueillir là-bas quand ta marée fermente A moi qui t’apparais comme une source vive / A l’avion qui s’en va dire un chapelet morse / Au carême dedans ton ventre et tes coursives / Quand la tempête te ranime et t’invective Au silence du temps qui compte tes silences / A la musique ténébreuse de la chance / A cette huile qui coule au fond de l’habitude / A ton savoir contraint devant la lassitude A ces bas que tu tires en haut des privilèges / A la pudeur inscrite en bas de ta culotte / A ce tissu violé par mes doigts de violettes / A ton jardin ouvert la nuit pour mes emplettes Au canevas surpris dans ta chambre en dentelle / Au coeur de ce triangle où coule l’isocèle / A la géométrique envie de t’empaler / A la mouette qui te mange à la marée Et tout ce que tu veux n’appartient qu’aux enfants / A la rue, aux lumières douces de l’envie / Aux chagrins inventés par un pli de vertu / Au vice généreux qui t’habille et te plie Au sourire de Dieu qui s’en va dans ta tête / A ta main qui remonte au-delà de ta fête / Au rire exténué des mirages partis / Au sommeil qui te prend dans le ciel de ton lit Aux pratiques du geste, aux façons de salir / A la blancheur têtue, au soir qui te fait belle / A tes cris en allés vers des ombres fidèles / A ce rien qui t’embarque et qui te fait pâlir A tout ce qui n’est tout qu’au fond de l’habitude / A ce rien qui te fait princesse ou misérable / A cette remontée du fond de ta pâleur / Quand le printemps remet de l’ordre dans ta fleur A ces halètements d’une chambre d’hôtel / A cette voie lactée où tu te sens mouillée / A ces cris de la fin qui n’en finira pas / A tout ce que tu veux qui n’appartient qu’à toi

Wind Break by Karsten Stier

“Wind break” is about reducing the landscape down to its barest essentials, so that the focus is on the hills, the trees and their shadows. / The trees are overlapped to give the impression that there are more trees than there actually are. The reason I made them seem to float above the ground is because these types of trees are not indigenous to the surrounding landscape. They don’t really belong. / The hills themselves are smooth and bereft of incidental details, reminiscent of the drought affected grasslands commonly found in pastoral farmlands.

Just... A Hand. (revised version) by DragonFlyer

My technical skills have increased a fair bit since I created the first image “Just a Hand” that I posted here on RB some time ago. I thought it might be interesting to see what I could make of the concept now, with the better equipment and skills that I (hopefully) have. The actual image of the hand here is a new shot, using a much better lens and more selective lighting. The textures though are the same ones I used before, though I have blended them differently to attempt to make use of more compositional techniques that I was not aware of when I made the original. There is a link to the original below – I would be most interested in anyone’s opinions re the relative value and interest of each version…

Lal Lal Iron Mine by Kristina K

For FailingMemory.. / Lal Lal is in the middle of the Gold fields, between Buninyong and Elaine, and my where i live.. / Victoria’s only attempt at mining and smelting iron ore took place at Lal Lal in the latter stages of the nineteenth century. In the mid 1870s, the Lal Lal Iron Company installed mining machinery, erected a large blast furnace and constructed a tramway to convey ore from the mine. For a brief time in the early 1880s, the Lal Lal Company had over 100 men engaged in mining and smelting the iron ore, gathering limestone (flux) and firewood, and manufacturing charcoal. The company also operated a foundry at Ballarat. The Lal Lal Iron Works had ceased operations by the end of the 1880s. The Lal Lal Iron Mine and Smelting Works is of historical, archaeological and scientific importance to the State of Victoria. The site is already listed on the Register of the National Estate. The Lal Lal Iron Mine and Smelting Works is historically and scientifically important as the site of the State’s only attempt to smelt iron ore with a blast furnace. The significance of the site is enhanced by the substantial remnants of the blast furnace being of its type surviving in the southern hemisphere. The Lal Lal Iron Mine and Smelting Works is scientifically important for its illustration of local adaptation of imported iron smelting technology. The design of the furnace, construction materials, and smelting technique used at the site harking back to 18th century European iron smelting technology. The site is archaeologically important for its potential to yield artefacts and evidence which will be able to provide significant information about the technological history of mining.
