Wild Art: Put Paint On Stereo Speakers, Blast Music, Beauty Happens

From Indulgd.com, a really cool arts and design web site, I found this neat post about photographer Martin Klimas, yet another artist who found a novel way to create some amazing works.

He put liquid paint on stereo speakers. He would then abruptly blast the music, which sent the paint erupting upward, and he took pictures.

A couple examples are in this post. They are awesome. Check out the link to Indulgd for more.  

Also, there's obviously much more at Klimas' web site, which is definitely worth a look.

Wildly Colorful "Inversion Sunset" in Vermont

In the late autumn and winter in Vermont, some of the best sunsets come when there's a weather inversion, which is relatively common in the cold season.

The colorful sunset southwest of St. Albans,
 Vermont Sunday evening

An inversion is when it's colder in the valleys than in the mountains, which is the opposite of the usual arrangement.

The pic in this post, taken late this Sunday afternoon, shows what happens sometimes during an inversion.

(As always, click on the pick to make it nice and big and get a good view)

The high thin clouds lit up by the setting sun are a sign of warm air moving in high up above us. It's hazy in the valleys: Smoke and moisture are trapped in the low spots by the warm air above.

At sunset, the high clouds and the haze combine to create a wonderful burst of color during what can be a blah time of year.

Spring Exuberance, Vermont Edition

I found three very different examples of spring exuberance lately as warm weather embraces Vermont.

First pic is a gaggle of happy looking daffodils in my St. Albans, Vermont yard.

Second picture shows Jackson, our happy little cocker spaniel, enjoys snacking on an ice cube on our sunny lawn.

The third is a truck whose owner obviously embraces the colors of spring and more.

So enjoy
