Sometimes it’s fun to take make one material / shader and then apply it to everything in a scene. That’s what happened here and that is how Herbert came to be. When I first made him I looked at his face and thought—“Oh dear you are a mess I best tidy you up”. Then I left him on my desktop for a week and grew to like him just the way he is. Then I realised not only did he look like a “Little Herbert”, but that was his name! Herbert was an experiment made in Carrara – the material started life in Groboto.
It’s a call to all patriots. Yes – that means you! The humble yo-yo is losing the battle to ‘virtual’ games.

Keeper of time, his task to slice / Through time and space with no device / Move men and ships with cosmic splice / Using melange, the precious spice / / Melange born of the worms in sand / Their home, Arrakis desert land / Where Fremen tribes do make their stand / Protect this spice from evil band / / This fractal artwork was inspired by the 1965 classic science-fiction novel, ‘Dune’ by Frank Herbert. This is the first instance that I can think of where the concept of ‘folding’ time and space for space travel is imagined. In the novel, creatures called ‘Navigators’ are able to use a spice called ‘Melange’ to enable space travel by folding space. / / This is my abstract portrayal of what a Navigator would be. The Navigator has infinite portals within him that connect all points of time and space. His container of the spice Melange lays at his feet. / / The large sand dunes near the coastal town of Florence, Oregon ( close to where I live ) served as the original inspiration to Frank Herbert for the Dune saga novels. I always thought it was really cool that his inspiration came from my neck of the woods. I have always loved this book since the first time I read it as a young boy, so here is a little tribute to Frank for the wondrous adventure he sent me on during that time. / / The original is 4800×6400 pixels at 300 pixels per inch. It was created in Sterling2, a freeware fractal application. Because the original is so large and difficult to see over the internet, I have included a couple of detail cutaways below. / / / / / /

This snake-eating bird was also part of the bird show at Leeds Castle. If anyone can identify the species I’d be very grateful :)
Herbert Glacier by Dave Hampton – Juneau, Alaska I lived on this glacier for two summers at a dog camp, guiding dog sledding tours. The camp was 100% helicopter dependent and was located about 11 miles up the glacier. Last season we had the second wettest summer on record. The first being two tears ago. The scientists studying the area told me its because the oceans are warming therefore all the precipitation is coming inland. Are camp is located under a 1000 foot ice fall that is fed from the Juneau ice field . The Juneau ice field is massive. It is about 100 miles long and 50 miles wide feeding around 35 major glaciers in the area. this photo was taken on one of the few sunny days we had. In june alone we received 12 inches of rain. I saw this glacier for the first time 10 years ago and it is amazing how fast it is receding back into the mountains. / . / / . / . /
“Herbert Adams” / Appletree Hollow Series / original is sold – Print Available Featured in: / 07/09 – Imaginative Realism group / 07/09 -Oil Painting / 8/18/09 -ImageWriting / 8/20/09 -Cats&Dogs I began the fantasy series of “Appletree Hollow” paintings several years ago. Some of their personal story is based (loosely) on actual historical facts.You can read about the Discovery of Appletree Hollow in 2007 in my latest Journal entry / Diary: 1816 / After reading for hours, in the first diary of Appletree Hollow, this past weekend,I decided that before I continue on about its residents, I should reveal one who, without his dedication, the images of Appletree Hollow could not be seen today. / I am speaking about Herbert Adams, pictured above in the early winter of 1816. / Herbert immigrated from England in 1815 and became renowned for documenting Appletree Hollow for many years. He was a traveling photographer who worked on his floating studio located on the “Water Nymph” showboat that cruised the Ohio River. He photographed thousands of residents of Southern Ohio and West Virginia, documenting living conditions and family life in Appalachia. From what information I have gathered so far, is that he appeared to be a very talented but sad sort of fellow, which I must say I do find to be a bit odd, since it also said he met and photographed many melodrama and vaudeville types.

After being to Lake Louise one morning, watching the sunrise, we went over to Lake Herbert, to look for a loon we had seen there earlier. I got mesmerized by the wonderful view across the lake, with the mist coming up, and the sun just hitting the mountain in the background. / f/16, 0.8 sec, ISO 100, focal length 17 mm / Nikon D80, Tokina 12-24 mm lens, Manfrotto tripod 055XPROB, Manfrotto ballhead 322RC2 Banff National Park, Alberta, Canada
Loon Lake is not the official name of this lake. It’s Herbert Lake, and it’s located north of Lake Louise in Banff National Park, Alberta, Canada. Most of the times we went over there, there was a loon on the lake, and that’s how it got it’s nickname from us. / f/7.1, 1/500 sec, ISO 100, focal length 70 mm / Nikon D80, 70-300 mm lens
