Lake Powell

Spending two days at Lake Powell and enjoying the majestic beauty of blue water and red rock. The Horseshoe Bend invites TBS to do some of their usual trickery. No doubt, this is one of the most remarkable sceneries of our trip for sure. We love your nature videos better than the city ones. So many places nobody has ever been before. My goal is to get better with my Easy Star and build an RC platform to do river and stream proximity flying. This is really incredible work of art. Thanks TBS and Trappy for sharing and making this.

Stunning Twig Sculptures of Patrick Dougherty

The talented North Carolina-based artist Patrick Dougherty has earned an international reputation for weaving tree saplings into substantial, swirling forms that look like bird nests as high as 40 feet. His elegant sculptures are transitory, owning to the nature of the materials used, and break down after a year or two in the wild. Patrick has post-graduate in Hospital and Health Administration, and he started studying art history and sculpture at the University of North Carolina, where he started learning about basic techniques of building, and applying his carpentry abilities with his deep fondness of nature ongoing to experiment with tree saplings as construction material. Patrick Dougherty first artwork was his house. When he was collecting fallen branches, rocks and old timber, Dougherty built a villa where he still lives with his wife and son. By the way, his house is his only eternal work. So more than thirty years, he has built more than 230 of such works that have been seen worldwide from Scotland to Japan to Brussels, and all over the United States.

Meanwhile in a World Far, Far Away

This is really an incredibly short film created during the "Porgrave" shooting, the latest film by Sandro Bocci that will be released at the end of 2015. Meanwhile, you can view the world of marine animals like corals and starfish at high magnification and during long time span through the time-lapse. The music almost alien and disturbing has been joined to the images that stimulate mental associations to create a contrast, stimulate synesthesia and feelings do not necessarily harmonics and assonant. In fact this is an infinitesimal part of the perfect world in which we live and of which we should take better care. Well, a wonderful trip via a different perspective that’d encourage reflections on the consequences of actions on each scale of space & time. Let’s enjoy the vision.
