SmugMug > keywords > planet > Rick sees Rick on his bike on Google Earth, Jville Originally i collaged a number of Google Earth images, including 3-D views, my paintings (and a Miro that was an accidental CLICK) and the centerpiece was my friend Rick from Jville. This was captured on Google Earth street camera. What are the odds of this? A biker captured on his Triumph in his front yard? A split second in the Google-Earth-mapping process. I finally managed to get a portrait shot of Rick rather sneekily on my Apple iphone. He has incredible facial tattoos (Maori: 'moko') and you can just detect these above his glasses. The miracle of digital phi-tography allowed the Google-Earth image of Rick on his bike to be reflected in his glasses. Hence the title 'Rick sees Rick on his bike on Google Earth, Jville' courtesy of inanga, Picasa 3, SmugMug, Google and Mozilla Firefox November 2009

I was out in Wellington yesterday and she was insisting on a collage of part of the city. So it looks like the Wambie gets her way! pix by inanga, the rest courtesy of Picasa 3, SmugMug, Google and Mozilla Firefox 2009 inanga
SmugMug > keywords > planet > Marty and i learning Life Mastery Mary-style I had the pleasure recently of meeting the most gentle of men. One was named Marty and he is centered above. He taught me about reptiles and the ancient Eastern Martial Arts. I promised to provide him with information on Aotearoa's ancient creature - the tuatara. Hey Marty this is as good an opportunity as any, so here goes. The tuatara is old, very old. It predates the dinosaurs that perished in the Jurassic, and is reliably reported to be 260 million-years-old and yet still survives as a distinct species. It is the only survivor of the Sphenodon Class. It has a third-eye that is still highly photo-sensitive to light and fully operative. [Marty, they spend hours staring directly at the Sun because it activates calcite crystals in their pineal-gland-equivalent initiating a second harmonic generation process whereby incoming and splitting photons leave with equal frequency and third-phase entangled.] As I said Tuatara is a Class of its own, similar to Reptilia. I suspect that Sphenodon punctatus, still living, was the only member of TUATARA Class. The correct taxonomic sequence is: Kingdom Animalia; Phylum Chordata; Subphylum Vertebrata; Class TUATARA; Order Sphenodontia; Family Sphenodontidae; Genus Sphenodon; and one species only of the entire Class SPHENODON PUNCTATUS. I agree with you, tuatara are more dinosauric thus birdlike than reptiles, hence the exposed vertebra. Curiously, the diet of tuatara is Clematis (a local climbing plant), kawakawa (Macropiper excelsum) with properties similar to the indole alkaloids of kavakava, and several weta species (the largest insect in the world and also endemic to NZ). I will send some pictures to www.northernberksreptileshow.com and you can use them if you wish. I got some great pics of Henry, currently imprisoned in Invercargill, New Zealand, when I was working there for Lonely Planet. Wiki gives this news: "Tuatara eggs have a soft, parchment-like shell. It takes the females between one and three years to provide eggs with yolk, and up to seven months to form the shell. It then takes between 12 and 15 months from copulation to hatching. This means reproduction occurs at two- to five-year intervals, the slowest in any reptile.[11] Wild tuatara are known to be still reproducing at about 60 years of age—"Henry", a 111-year-old tuatara at Southland Museum in Invercargill, New Zealand, became a father (possibly for the first time) on 23 January 2009.[50][51]" The oldest living creature on earth - the tuatara - is considered here to be the Keeper of the Twelve Kete [Baskets] of Knowledge, an appellation it shares most probably because of its manipulation of serotonin, melatonin and epitonin in third-eye visualization - SUN, MOON and SOMA as discussed. I treasure the chance to meet you again so we can do some Sufi spinning and enjoy a laugh. Jeff thanks to Helen Gale for the great photo of Marty and I.

SmugMug > keywords > planet > Avocado Sunset, St Louis, Missouri i had the privilege of visiting St Louis when i wrote the 'Plains States' for the first Lonely Planet US guide. i was fascinated with St Louis as one of my heroes Thomas Stearns (TS) Eliot was born in that city. He said that it inspired 'The Love Song of J.Alfred Prufrock', one of my all-time favorite poems. Here is what wiki says: 'In 1915 Ezra Pound, overseas editor of Poetry magazine, recommended to Harriet Monroe, the magazine's founder, that she publish "The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock". Although the character Prufrock seems to be middle-aged, Eliot wrote most of the poem when he was only 22. Its now-famous opening lines, comparing the evening sky to "a patient etherised upon a table," were considered shocking and offensive, especially at a time when the poetry of the Georgians was hailed for its derivations of the 19th century Romantic Poets. The poem follows the conscious experience of a man, Prufrock (relayed in the "stream of consciousness" form characteristic of the Modernists), lamenting his physical and intellectual inertia, the lost opportunities in his life and lack of spiritual progress, with the recurrent theme of carnal love unattained. Critical opinion is divided as to whether the narrator leaves his residence during the course of the narration. The locations described can be interpreted either as actual physical experiences, mental recollections, or even as symbolic images from the sub-conscious mind, as, for example, in the refrain "In the room the women come and go." ' Across the 'river' from St Louis's famous arch are the Cahokia Mounds - hence the dream-catcher above. i have visited there also and i was fascinated with the pivotal location of the site, at the confluence of the Missouri and Mississippi rivers. For more on these see Another Roadside Attraction - the Treasure Hunt in this site. I left pounamu (greenstone) in many locations in the US when i was on my spirit quest - but not here under the arch. So with Google's Street cam, a wiki download and a painting of greenstone/pounamu (from Kuri's Big OE) amends have been made. Bernice, a friend of Ms P's, decided to send a message into the ether to her late father. Don, also born in Missouri, i hope you get this by ether-mail. courtesy of Picasa 3, SmugMug, Google and Mozilla Firefox 2009
