Forgot where I was when I took this, but I love old farm tools! After the corn was shucked, the kernels were ground in another machine, so we took some ground cornmeal home!
When we think of a tree, we picture a large woody trunk soaring into the air. But did you know that there are some trees that grow almost entirely underground? This week’s video is about Quercus minima, the dwarf live oak, which does just that!
Thanks for watching, and please like and subscribe!
[image source] just throwing this pic here cause I feel it helps it become a little more obvious what plant they’re referring visually to in the vid.
That’s pretty cool to learn about such an unusual member of the oaks!
If I understand correctly, these are ceramic bowls floating in a pool of water, possibly in a cave because it’s echo-y, and the clinking sound is them bumping into one another. Like wind chimes, but … water chimes?
yo, i saw this in person over the summer! it’s an art installation!
the piece is called clinamen v.2, created by Céleste Boursier-Mougenot and included as a part of the Soundtracks exhibit in the moma – i saw it in san fran, and this photo is from a showing in new york:
the exhibit is a large shallow pool filled with white ceramic bowls in varying sizes. the bowls are pushed around the pool by a gentle current, and the sound created as they hit each other is somewhere between a wind chime and a haunted bell.
i sat there for a solid ten minutes just watching the bowls move around while listening to the sounds they made. it was absolutely hypnotic…
Soundtracks runs in the san fran moma until january 1st 2018, and i absolutely recommend going if you can. many of the exhibits play with sound in 3D spaces, and there are some truly wild contraptions on display.
Let’s see if this works-I printed yesterday a sample of my still unfinished portfolio for my portfolio design class and it looked great so I tried to make a small vid of it
Can I ask that please you try to load and watch it before reblogging and tell me if it is actually loading and playing bc I have never been able to upload a fucking video to tumblr that fucking works and I really need to know if this one is fucking working
It’s loading alright for me and my PC tends to be annoyingly sensitive about loading tumblr videos. Also gotta say, I LOVE HOW THAT SAMPLE LOOKS IT REMINDS ME SO SO MUCH OF THOSE ARTBOOKS YOU SEE FROM FAMOUS ARTISTS IT’S SO BEAUTIFUL AND COOL LIGER!!!!
