The Green Ray seen in California (NASA image)

Let's delve into the fascinating phenomenon of the green ray, both from a scientific perspective and its captivating role in literature, particularly in Jules Verne's novel, Le Rayon vert. The Green Ray: Physics Explained The green ray, also known as the "green flash," is a rare optical phenomenon that can occur at sunrise or sunset. It's not a single ray, but rather a brief flash of green light that appears just as the last sliver of the sun disappears below the horizon or as the first sliver appears above it. Here's a breakdown of the physics involved: Atmospheric Refraction: The Earth's atmosphere acts like a prism, bending or refracting light. Different colors of light bend at different angles, with blue light bending more and red light bending less. This is why we see rainbows. Scattering: The atmosphere also scatters light, particularly blue light, which is why the sky is blue. Atmospheric Layers: The atmosphere is not uniform in density. It's ...

Cinematic reconstruction of famous and less famous paintings

Filmmakers and visual artists have often taken up themes and subjects that take old paintings and transform them into complex movie scenes or cinematic productions. All these approaches fall under the label "transmedia", that is, a subject or a theme is transformed from an artistic object (related to the media through which it is expressed) into another artistic object, with other means of expression and another vocabulary. (Film adaptation of a novel is a similar endeavor, but the translation from painting to cinematography, although not as easily recognized by the general public, is much more spectacular). Cinematic reconstructions of famous and less famous paintings involve bringing the visual and narrative elements of artworks to life through film. This can be achieved through various techniques, such as live-action adaptations, animated sequences, or even incorporating the paintings into the narrative structure of a film. Here are some notable examples: Famous Painting...

Peace in Ukraine: Putin's Gambit and the Never-Ending War

Foto: BANKSY ART (Facebook Group): LINK Nearly three years into Russia's invasion of Ukraine, we're all asking the same question: What was Putin thinking? More importantly, what would it take to end this conflict? Let's break it down. Putin's Puzzling Play Here's the thing - Russia's invasion of Ukraine makes zero economic sense. Ukraine's resources? Russia's got plenty. Territory? They already have more than they can handle. Economic benefits? Nada. In fact, occupying Ukraine would be a massive financial burden for Moscow. It's like buying a fixer-upper house that's on fire - not exactly a smart investment. The Real Game Plot twist: What if the war itself is the point? Russia was becoming increasingly irrelevant on the global stage, relegated to being just another energy supplier. With the world moving towards green energy, even that role was under threat. By starting this war, Putin has forced Russia back into global relevance - through bru...

Reenactment of Seurat's most famous painting

The reconstruction of famous paintings with actors is an important Transmedia exercise. A great diversity of video and photographic projects, carried out over time, attracted attention. Among the most recent initiatives of this kind is that of the photographer Mark Preuschl who made in Wisconsin, USA, a modern recreation of Georges Seurat's A Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte. The photographer chose to use modern clothing for his characters, but the composition of the frame was careful not only by positioning the people (and accessories) in the pictorial field, but (especially) by matching the light and shadows. Thus, the performance goes beyond the simple stage of technical curiosity and translation of a subject from one medium to another and constitutes an additional element of analysis and reference for the masterpiece of pointist painting. The effects of light and shadow, their pictorial capture, was the central element of Impressionism and of the immedia...

The Dance of the Forest (videos)

In the heart of the wilderness, there exists a mesmerizing dance that unfolds between the forest and the wind. This ballet, captured beautifully in windy forest videos, is a testament to nature's harmonious rhythm and grace. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OyIuKj9IQH8 As the wind begins to whisper through the trees, the forest comes alive with movement. The tall, stately pines and the delicate birches sway gently, their leaves rustling like the soft murmurs of a secret language. The dance starts slowly, with the wind's gentle caress causing the branches to bend and sway in a graceful waltz. The sunlight filters through the canopy, casting dappled shadows that dance along the forest floor, adding a visual symphony to the performance. The wind picks up, and the dance intensifies. The trees, rooted firmly in the earth, bend and twist with a fluidity that belies their strength. The leaves flutter and spin, creating a whirlwind of color and motion. The underbrush joins in, with...

Amazing architecture: the floating house from Ukraine

One of the strangest buildings, which has fascinated Internet users for decades, is located in Ucriana. The so-called floating house is located in Krasnosilka, Odessa region. It is originally a potato sorting station. The construction rests on a huge concrete block, but it is located on the side, not in the center, which makes the construction visually illogical and amazing. The builders made such a design to allow trucks to enter under the platform of the sorting station to be loaded automatically by opening hatches under the platform. Construction in the Odessa region is not unique. In the last years of the USSR several similar constructions were built, predominantly in Ukraine and Belarus. Because they have a wider "foot" and are clad in wood structure, they are not nearly as spectacular. In the floating house in Krasnosilka, the concrete foot has a color that at first sight is lost in the landscape, giving the impression that the house is levitating. Image from Belarus,...

On the ice

Photo by Ádám Jakab, https://www.facebook.com/groups/minimalistphotography Two figures, holding hands, are silhouetted on a frozen lake. The ice surface is a light, muted blue-gray, exhibiting a pattern of cracks and variations in texture. The figures are centered in the image and are seen from an overhead, high-angle perspective, walking across the flat expanse of ice. Their clothing appears dark, likely dark jackets, and their movements indicate they are skating or walking on the frozen surface. No facial details are visible. Their silhouettes suggest a couple of similar height and build, likely young adults. Reflections from their silhouettes are visible on the ice, adding depth and enhancing the overall effect. The lighting is soft, and the atmosphere conveys a tranquil and serene winter scene. The overall style is minimalist and emphasizes the contrast between the figures and the vast, icy landscape. The image's composition is simple and direct, focusing on ...
