Better than the real thing - FIreworks

Fireworks with my Canon point n shoot... Pics were disappointing because of extended exposure, but... I kinda like these pics better than the real fireworks. Some interesting unexpected artistic effects. 

This was at the 2014 Minneapolis Aquatennial celebration.

Foam Art... by Nature (with help from man).

Picture Perfect - Steel and Glass - Light Bulbs

These are not ordinary light bulbs and this is not a static sculpture.  It's one of many pieces of art at an all night art show  (8pm to 7am) covering the entire Twin Cities. Most of the artwork required darkness to be seen. This sculpture performs in a most unusual and surprising way (Not part of PP, but see video below).

 The above photo makes little sense without the supporting photos and video below.
At night the lights blink in a surprising manner.

This is what it looks like when you spin the camera.  The dotted lines reveal that the bulbs are actually LEDs.

There are MANY other strange and interesting exhibits.

Near the end of the 50 second video reveals what these lights do.  Notice the lights blinking. They are not blinking in a random manner.  "You cannot see the forest for the trees". 

Fresh Chicken Chick-Nuggets

Note the warm earth tones blended skillfully with pastels in the low frequency range to give the art a feeling of warmth, comfort and satisfaction.  The content integrates with many of the human senses.
Many European art critics feel this piece has a musical affiliation and was originally titled "Third Movement".
(Hint - That is not a grill.  It's the wire floor of the Chicken coop).
(Another piece in the Chicken-Art series).

060615 Tuna = Chicken of the Sea with just 1 Flush

This morning before heading to the barnyard, I was in the Bathroom with my Pet rabbit. I was combing my hare when Tuna, the cat, was trying to crawl up the toilet tank and slipped and fell and hit the flusher handle about the same time he grabbed the lid which promptly started to close over him as he descended into the vortex.
You should have seen his eyes. Panic. All nine lives gone with just one flush.  But being a cat, he managed to extricate himself without even getting too wet… and then he strolled away as if nothing happened, as if he had done it all on purpose. Chickens aren’t known for their sense of humor, but..ha ha ha (ROFL ROFL) ha ha. That’s when Tuna looked back at me in disgust and walked away. Oooouuu, Mr Cool cat, ha ha ha. Bert

060220 NASA apologizes to Bert for mistake.

Dramatic NASA Hubbell telescope pictures of Albireo (means "The Chicken's Head" in Arabic) show newborn stars emerging from "eggs" of cold gas and dust — not the barnyard variety — but rather, dense, compact pockets of interstellar gas called Evaporating Gaseous Globules (EGGs) protruding from the wall of a vast cloud of molecular hydrogen. Hubble found the "EGGs," appropriately enough, in the CHICKEN nebula (also called M16.5), a nearby star-forming region 7,000 light-years from Earth in the Coopers constellation. It was previously thought to be in the “Eagle” nebula until Bert brought it to their attention. Still unanswered though is the Chicken-Egg debate.

This was such a busy day, so many things to do. It seems I was on the move all day.
