Smokey



I love smoke.. and all of its swirly-ness... you cant touch it.. but you can put your finger through it. It disappears... floating up in the air and becoming.. once again.. air
I thought id share a few pictures with you...




Smoke
Smoke can be sooo sensual.. sooo pretty.. sooo mysterious... sooooo captivating..
It can enchant and delight
It can wrap you up in a hazy cloak
It can cloud your vision
It can twist into shapes and images





I know i love watching it float out of my mouth and watching it curl and twist and twirl around into itself.

What I’ve found is a public sculpture by Anish Kapoor in Millennium Park, Chicago, that is called Cloud Gate. The sculpture is shaped like an ellipse, and its legume-like appearance has caused it to be nicknamed “The Bean”. It is made of 168 highly polished stainless steel plates, and stands at 33 feet high, 66 feet long, and 42 feet wide, weighing 110 tons.

WOW!
As i was browsing through my old favorite websites, I happened upon this spectacular work of art.
It is by a man named Anish Kapoor and located in Millenium Park in Chicago.
It is called the Cloud Gate. a.k.a. "The Bean"
It is made up of 168 stainless steel plates and is
33 feet high
66 feet long
42 feet long
110 tons

so soo very pretty.....

I LovE how it is abe to reflect reality.. but in a slightly peculiar, distorted way. I can only imagine how fun it wold be to walk around and inside the hole and see what is reflected and what is distorted.

It could also be seen as a giant robot turd.. though slightly too perfectly sheen and smooth for that..

i can only imagine how upkeep it would require.. what with polishing and shining and buffing... with all the people touching it and kissing it and attempting to climb on it..

TeaPot!


Is it a terrorist? OR is it a bandit?
NEITHER!!

Its a teapot!

:) (:

Which reminds me of my favorite game. "Teapot"!!

You think of a thing.. a verb.. an action.. anything..
And while you are talking to people.. instead of saying THAT WORD.. you say Teapot..
AND poeple have to guess what TEAPOT stands for...
VERY amusing..
They start asking 20 quesions style..
"Do you teapot in the morning?"
"It is not necessary, but it feels wonderful and refreshing."
