The band’s music is constructed with a cartographer’s sense of detail and direction. Their songs have a natural dynamism, shifting between all-out bliss rock to haunting ambient pop, at times recalling the shimmering intensity of Ride or The Boo Radleys at their respective peaks, yet managing to transport the listener beyond the familiar. This is twenty-first-century trip-rock. Artist - Beauti

Nature means chaos. Art is about order and meaning. Nature is opposite to culture. Art, along with philosophy and science, is culture's breath. Nature sets borders for civilization. Civilization destroys nature.

Leaving the Boathouse yesterday, I snapped this photo of the boaters on the water, and later, as I was looking at it, the image reminded me of a 19th century landscape painting. That's by design. Olmsted and Vaux, in designing Central Park, created vistas that would resemble paintings, like the ones by their friends in the Hudson River School. They designed Central Park with the notion that city dwellers would encounter the sublime as they walked around different areas of the park.Photographers in the 19th century often borrowed compositions from landscape painters, framing their shots in similar ways. In looking at the image above, I think I must carry around with me similar preconceptions of the sublime landscape and how it should be conventionally composed. In addition, my camera is an

The Cloud, 1896Prince EugenPrins Eugens Waldemarsudde, StockholmOne day, as I was randomly pulling books off the library shelf, I noticed Torsten Gunnarsson's Nordic Landscape Painting in Nineteenth Century. I took it home and have been renewing and re-checking it out ever since. I think it's time for me to buy my own copy! This is my most favorite book on landscape painting. Except for Carl Larsson, I was not at all familiar with any of the Nordic painters. I am now and urge you to find examples of and learn about this remarkable body of work.As Gunnarrson writes in his introduction, Nature was a strong force in the less populated Nordic region and even with exposure to European work, the unique influence of the Nordic landscape on the regional painters is remarkable.I'll give you links t

A landscape is never complete if its soft elements are not completed correctly by its hardscape. Hardscape or “hardscaping” is composed of inanimate elements of landscaping, particularly the work of masonry or carpentry. For example, stone walls, concrete or brick patios, tile roads, bridges made of wood and wooden trees would all be considered as part of the hardscape. But hardscape goes beyond large-scale projects like these. Any non-life ornamentation in your landscaping is technically part of the hardscape.Without the clever arrangement of stone and other components hardscape, the most artistic landscape is not a framework for disable plants tastefully and beautifully. When designing your garden, always start by permanent structures. Let the physical area and its surroundings dicta

Last week I was listening to the Dr. Laura show on my drive home from work as I do every evening. Dr. Laura took a call from a young WW who was worried that she was “crazy” or “neurotic” because she desires to get married and have children. Upon further prompting, Dr. Laura wanted to know why she felt so anxious about wanting to get married and the young woman went on to explain that she didn’t have any good prospects lined up. However, her friends were trying to set her up on a date with a “really nice guy.” Again, Dr. Laura didn’t see why this should cause the young woman such anxiety. Finally, the girl got to the real crux of her dilemma ….the “really nice guy” drove a delivery truck for a living and didn’t have any plans to further advance himself. The young wom
