Night Music by Stan Brakhage
We see rhythm in the splashes of color and imagine the possibility of music. It’s perfect.
I walk the streets of New York City. I sip champagne in Hollywood. I walk through Paris in the rain. lalala
“Berlin: Symphony Of A Great City”
Silent film of Berlin shot in 1927 and directed by Walter Ruttmann. Watched portions of this in my film class but no matter how cleverly edited and directed it is, I remain unsuccessful in watching it in it’s entirety. It’s over an hour long footage of the city.
Super Moon? How About a Super Sun!
“On May 5, 2012, while everyone else was waiting for the “Super Moon” astrophotographer Alan Friedman was out capturing this super image of a super Sun from his back yard in Buffalo, NY!
Taken with a specialized telescope that can image the Sun in hydrogen alpha light, Alan’s photo shows the intricate detail of our home star’s chromosphere — the layer just above its “surface”, or photosphere.
Prominences can be seen rising up from the Sun’s limb in several places, and long filaments — magnetically-suspended lines of plasma — arch across its face. The “fuzzy” texture is caused by smaller features called spicules and fibrils, which are short-lived spikes of magnetic fields that rapidly rise up from the surface of the Sun.
On the left side it appears that a prominence may have had just detached from the Sun’s limb, as there’s a faint cloud of material suspended there.”
