Mr. van den Berg posted this beautiful piece, featuring gas giants Saturn and Jupiter, on Vimeo within the last day, where it amassed a steady stream of very favorable comments before he disabled the comment option (perhaps he is shy?). The artistic piece continues to collect ‘likes.’
Here are a few comments:

this is more of a “love” than a “like”

This is utterly amazing. I am literally dumbstruck by how beautifully you have managed to capture the fabric of reality, outside of our own modern, ruined human vision. Spectacular.

Only a true artist could take these components and produce the end results. Absolutely beautiful work! Thank you for sharing.

Thanks, compelling.
Yes. He makes it look so easy. Cannot imagine how many images he used or how long it took him to do, but it is really beautiful. He did another, on Egypt, that he photographed himself and that has underwater shots.
Odd, but could not help but relate some of this to the beauty of cellular-level stuff.
That is so cool but you do have to watch it on vimeo in HD to really get the full effect.
Kind of makes earth seem rather dull and boring, in a way.
How do I do that HD thing? Sounds cool!
Oh, I get it. Looks like Vimeo promoted his piece to the HD Channel. Very nice. It sure is collecting ‘likes’ over there.
NO, not odd because it is the same dynamic as on the ‘cellular’ level.
But as towards the perception of odd (and I know it will take you some time and cause you to come out of the corner :->):
Memory
Researchers show that memories reside in specific brain cells
Scientists Wrest Partial Control of a Memory
Scientists Claim Brain Memory Code Cracked
Quantum entanglement
Does a ‘reflection in a mirror’ perception occur to you regards how memory occurs and is recalled and how ‘particles’ behave per quantum mechanics?
WOW! Great to see you again, been too long.
Took a minute for it to ‘click,’ but I think I get what you are saying here. The micro memories, which I was familiar with, banged into a mirror of sorts and triggered the (cell) memory, so I could attempt to make sense of the macro (outer space) as it unfolds here. And, that is not odd at all. It is the brain, categorizing and applying, so that new data coming in makes sense. Interesting. Any individual still NASA photo, chosen by the artist may or may not have had this effect; perhaps adding movement made me think right away: Cell. So much so that if you showed me only that one moving segment of this piece, I would swear and bet on Cell and not Gas Giant Planet.
Cool. Unless I am completely off base. It being art day and all, got any music cued up today? I emailed one of yours just the other day!
PS Noticed a brief comment on another thread. You all right?
Just click on vimeo it you will be directed to the vimeo site and then click HD to turn HD on.
Yeah but the epiphany of actually feeling one’s mortality does affect oneself. I’ve a diary I’m mentally composing about what’s happened and also to explain to Larue and others about the perspectives regards forgiveness, etc. vis-a-vis where I’m ‘coming from’.
The good news is that after 48 years of smoking cigs -including the last 20 being only cigs of tobacco with no chemicals or additives which info I hope helps someone else- I finally was able to walk away from the one drug that could break my will.

Congratulations on the giving up cigarettes! Amazing what a hook those can be. The hook that nearly finished me off was alcohol, but the funny thing is, even as I knew it was killing me, that did not stop me. I guess I got to a point where I could not handle either living with it or without it; I was just out done. Neither of us drink, nor do we miss it.
What a journey this life is. Trust, we will be watching for your diary, hope it is soon, and hope you stay well!
Thanks for the Steppenwolf, listened on Fred’s screen.
Words fail.
Thank you for stopping by, Glackin!
Scintillate, scintillate asteroid magnific,
Fain would I fathom thy nature specific,
Aloft in the azure so spacious,
Gleaming like a gem carbonaceous.
Thanks again for sharing your wonder of the universe with us.
Thank you so much for stopping by, lovely words, and speaking of things aloft as well as wonders of the universe, for folks who follow the Decorah Bald Eagles, they had an owl swing by for a visit, last night at midnight. Mom and Dad Eagle were not in the least bit amused, so they sounded alarms by calling and posturing. At 03:10 into this clip, the owl calls out, and then calls again later:

Same thing happened a year ago almost to the day, so this is not Mom and Dad’s first kick at the can:

Would appreciate your main squeeze commenting on my comment to his ‘Reasonable Man’ diary.
Much obliged ma’am.
This piece makes me feel insignificant and wonderful, the perfect combination.
Thanks!
Me too, and thank you Mary!
