Stick figure made of driftwood on the beach. The figure is tada'ing anyone, including the photographer, out of sheer joy of existing.

Irish Moss (Chondrus crispus) is used as a thickening & gelling agent in foods and other products.

It is also used to clarify beverages such as beer.

When we were kids, we'd gather it to sell, it has health and nutritional benefits.

You'd break your neck if you stepped on this, it's extremely slippery.
Some interesting shapes and textures on #Driftwood;
I brought a big one home.

Irish Moss and Kelp, slimy and thick on top of the beach rocks. People gather this, and dry and sell it. It has medicinal benefits, and also good as fertilizer in gardens. It's orange and brown and white in thick deposits
A horn shaped piece of ocean shaped driftwood. I'm holding it in one hand to show, with turnip patch stones below
a round piece of wood with patterns zigzagging across the face. Art created by the sea, carved as if by an artist hands.
A concrete manhole cover, the power of the sea is tremendous. If it washed this out to sea and up on an island, this is about 70 pounds/31 kg in weight. It didn't  float here between the seaweed on the beach.

It has become increasingly difficult to keep abreast of and to assimilate the investigative reports which accumulate day after day. My friend. . .was ill at ease because he felt unable to control even the area of his own discipline; one suffocates, he once told me, through exposure to the massive body of rapidly growing information.

The hacker ethic refers to the feelings of right and wrong, to the ethical ideas this community of people had -- that knowledge should be shared with other people who can benefit from it, and that important resources should be utilized rather than wasted.

The worst thing that could happen to computing would be for it to become nothing but a process of consumers buying products. Every great thing that's come along ... has happened when users whose needs weren't being met by the marketplace shrugged their shoulders and built their own solutions.

Tussock covered sandhills,  driftwood piled high from winter storms. Norfolk pines line the road behind the sandhills.

I've completed the talismans I've worked whilst I've been in Wales this time. Along with some drawings which I wasn't thinking of as related ( but who knows, I'm only the artist making these ). I have to give some serious thought to how I'm going to progress an installation of them. #art #arte #Talisman #talismans #installation #driftwood #Acrylicpaintskin #awaystudio #studiowork #cymru #studio #galleries

Talismans on the floor of a small, beautiful 13th Century Welsh church that overlooks the sea. These are part of a multi part artwork Im working on over time that I hope will become an installation. I will need a venue, which will contribute to the form of the installation. Made in Wales, finished in my studio in England, I have new Talismans to work on in Wales later this week. #art #artworks #Talismans #paintskins #Wales #Cymru #sea #driftwood #exhibit #Installation #fediverse #mastodon

#thicktrunktuesday

"The tree is more than first a seed, then a stem, then a living trunk, and then dead timber. The tree is a slow, enduring force straining to win the sky."
- Antoine de Saint-Exupery

Photography by me
Gulf of Mexico, U.S.A.

#photography #beach #driftwood #treetrunk #sand #beach #coast #trees

Trunks of bleached trees line the white sand beach along the gulf coast of the southern United States.  The white sand and turquoise water surround the trunks of trees which have lost their tops in previous hurricanes or storms.  White clouds float gently in the blue sky with a beach town in the distance.

I usually post photography, but years ago I made an #effigy for a regional #BurningMan event called #PlayaDelFuego. I stretched the usual pony theme to be a #seahorse, gathered #driftwood along the #PotomacRiver to make it, and the finished piece was 12’ tall (3.7m), 15’ (4.5m) on the wood pile. You can see friends and me (long hair, black outfit, open back) light the "pony."

An interesting piece of driftwood on the coast of Lake Superior.

The Astrum provided some weird smeary kind of photos but it works for this one in my mind.

Love seeing #ThickTrunkTuesday trending!

Adding some old growth driftwood (what scientists would call “large woody debris,” which serves a vital ecological role) from the Pacific coast of the Olympic Peninsula here in Washington State, USA. My scampering tween provided for scale.
