Made from loads of photographs of bubbles! First time in a long while since I went into a shop to buy some, ‘Pooh’s Heffalump Movie Bubbles’! Built up in layers with all the planets featured, from left to right, Uranus, Mercury, Mars, Jupiter, Pluto, Venus, Earth, Neptune and Saturn. Thanks and credit have to go to N.A.S.A. as my telescopic lens wasn’t up to the job of the planets!
After being a fan of “The War of the Worlds” all my life and loving SciFi, this is the 3rd in a series of SciFi creations that I have attempted. / This one is my impression of the exodus from the planet Uranus before it explodes. ( Apophysis 3D & Photo Impact )
I took this shot 10 years ago in 1998 on a walk that traversed the Western Arthurs in south-west Tasmania. Although I’d been hiking for years this hike redefined what a considered a hard hike to be and what spectacular scenery is, Tassie is just breathtaking. To give you an idea of its severity imagine spending 8 days traversing a ridgeline of a mountain range and then taking just one day to traverse back along the plains to regain your start point! It is also the place where the man who really inspired and defined a lot of my photographic aspirations and inspirations died. Peter Dombrovskis once said, “When you go out there you don’t get away from it all, you get back to it all. You come home to what is important. You come home to yourself”. Leaving his mortal coil in such a place for me seemed like the right thing in a bitter sweet kind of way. This particular shot was also one of the first where I felt that I began to approach that indefinable something that some work possess that just fills you with a sense of reverence, awe and inviolability of place. For more Tassie shots check out my Tasmania gallery. 10% of all profits go to the Wilderness Society
Uranus, Named after the Greek God of heaven and ruler of the under world, is a ringed planet made up of mostly gasses. In size it is halfway between the size of Earth and Jupiter, so, if Uranus were hollow, you could fit about 50 Earths inside. / Uranus has 5 large moons and 10 or more smaller ones. / The blue-green color comes from methane in the atmosphere, but methane only makes up about 2% of the atmosphere. The rest is about 84% hydrogen and 14% helium (much like Jupiter). There is water or ice on the surface, but it’s underneath a large hydrogen ocean. The average temperature on the cloud tops is around 370 degrees (F) below zero / Uranus mysteriously sits sideways in our solar system. Scientists believe a catastrophic event must have occurred during the formation of our solar system to have caused this. / At this moment, the south end of the axis around which the planet rotates is pointing at the sun. Therefore, the South Pole is in the midst of 42 years of constant sunlight; while the North Pole is having 42 years of night. Gradually the North Pole will point at the sun, and it will have 42 years of sunlight. / And I didn’t make any jokes about “Your Anus” :) /
just a bit of fun… celebrating spring and life and color

Cover Design for Calendar Astrological Houses – the houses reflect the circumstances we create and encounter as we make our way through life. The sign/planet on the cusp of each house is like the door to the “room”. From the month, day, time and place of your birth, until NOW and forever – you will cyclically return to each of these houses, and their influences on your personality. Example: If you were born on 6-9-1969, your 1st House would be June 9th, through July 8th; 2nd House-July 9th thru August 8th; 3rd House-August 9th thru September 8th; 4th House-September 9th thru October 8th; 5th House – October 9th thru November 8th; 6th House – November 9th thru December 8th; 7th House – December 9th thru January 8th; 8th House – January 9th thru February 8th; 9th House – February 9th thru March 8th; 10th House – March 9th thru April 8th; 11th House – April 9th thru May 8th; 12th House – May 9th thru June 8th. And, it begins again, with the following influences, as well as whatever ‘personal’ aspects are part of your “Natal Birth Chart”. Learning with this tool, observing our interaction with the cycles of nature, establishes our connection with the Universe and ‘feeling’ that everything flows in our lives, cyclically. It offers the opportunity to learn more about our unique rhythm and the wonder of the synchronistic alignment. The date, time and place of our birth was no accident, and our ‘destiny’ is in our personal astrological chart, making life and what it offers, a little bit easier to understand and process. It also gives a little insight to events and changes that are coming, so that we may prepare for them, in a healthy way – rather than take them as a victim or personally. ©TKRosevear 2007 / Excerpt from Chapter One/Earthly Cycles – Sailing through the 7C’s Full Story Available as Personalized Calendar and Monthly Cards ZODIAC
This calendar will be “specific” for January birthdays ONLY, if you wish to give me your Birth Month, I can make a calendar that reflects the proper house order accordingly, just bmail me with request…this was easier than making 12 different calendars. ©TKRosevear 2007 Understanding Earthly Cycles Also available as monthly cards ;)
With Earth as the leader, the planets of the Solar System have turned against poor Pluto excluding him from their group of planets. He is now demoted to a dwarf planet. This contemporary themed image is build upon events in which Pluto was degraded and reclassified to a dwarf planet. It is now no longer part of the classic line of planets in our Solar System as I’ve been used to. It’s strange when you’ve been able to memorize the planets ever since you were a kid and for the future will have to leave this little icy rock out. I liked doing a smaller and less extensive project for a change. I had this simple idea, and worked on/off for about a week before completing this. I had great fun stuffing as many little funny details into the image as I could, and I hope you enjoy this as much as I enjoyed making it! Visit MathiasPedersen.com to see more of my artwork.
