here's the moment of rapid descent, absolutely terrifying. That's a 5000 meters fall in about one minute.

Today's art is Blue Haze by Penleigh Boyd, 1919, AUS. Take a moment to follow the outlines and the fine texture in this watercolor piece and to breathe in the mountain air

Watercolor sketches, day 1 I was playing with the paper's roughness and working on some shades of purple with primary colors

Made chili pepper gnocchi last night, and they were incredible For the shape I used the Turkish çiğ köfte technique with my hands, it was such a nice shape to chew on

And here's his description of it he sent to his brother Theo the next day:

Yesterday, at sunset, I was on a stony heath where very small, twisted oaks grow, in the background a ruin on the hill, and wheatfields in the valley. It was romantic, it couldn’t be more so, à la Monticelli, the sun was pouring its very yellow rays over the bushes and the ground, absolutely a shower of gold. And all the lines were beautiful, the whole scene had a charming nobility. You wouldn’t have been at all surprised to see knights and ladies suddenly appear, returning from hunting with hawks, or to hear the voice of an old Provençal troubadour. The fields seemed purple, the distances blue.

And I brought back a study of it too, but it was well below what I’d wished to do. Tasset hadn’t sent enough zinc white the other day. I get on very well using it, but it has the disadvantage of drying very slowly, so, for example, the studies done at Saintes-Maries aren’t dry yet.

Take a minute to stare at this sunset painted by Vincent Van Gogh, it'll be good for you. Notice the single paintstrokes, and the ocher-golden light coming from the sun setting, and imagine being there for an instant. Vincent Van Gogh, Sunset at Montmajour – 1888

A van gogh painting depicting a sunset light coming from te right, with individual paintstrokes being ocra-dark yellow and golden over some leafy tall trees and bushes. The sky has a light mint shade with pastel paintstrokes all over, following the wind current.

The Nao of Brown remains one of the most beautiful pieces of art I’ve ever read. I finished it today, after gathering the courage for a while. I’ll forever be grateful for the fellow OCD sufferer who made sure I had a copy. I’ve rarely felt as seen as I have while reading this

A beautiful two page view of The Nao of Brown, showing a tree-man under a beautifully illustrated tree, and then him riding a goat down a hill. The decorations are flowery and have many intricate green leaves and branches.

A page showing the gorgeous watercolors of this graphic novel about OCD. Showing a realistic but still stylised style, with bright colors.

I missed the eclipse, but the Moon was gorgeous earlier last night #astrophotography #Moon EOS 1100D + Dobson 200/1200

He was very elusive, but we managed to find some pics. We used to call him Gorgonzola and then Brie (because that was too long and he didn’t learn it)

Woke up drenched in sweat just to read this:

A third heat wave is underway, with Sardinia like a furnace: temperatures up to 45 degrees Celsius, suffocating heat.
The peak will be between Monday and Wednesday: "The island faces extraordinary biometeorological conditions and poses dangers to the human body. This isn't alarmism, it's science.
