Miyajima

The approach from the east by boat first encounters the 52-foot-tall (16-meter), vermilion-colored O-Torii, standing in the sea some 220 yards (200 meters) in front of the hall of worship and built on its axis. The eighth since the Heian period, it dates from 1874 to 1875. The great weight of its massive camphor-wood pillars, approximately 44 feet (13.4 meters) tall, together with the 76-foot-long (23.3-meter) hollow cross piece, filled with stones, allows the O-Torii to stand upon the seafloor without being embedded in it.

Hard time finding this video I had watched earlier this year.
The concept was escaping me.

Basically, the bounding box for the fog.......Materials> Surface> disconnect
Volume>volume scatter and set it to a low number.....

John Coltrane So What

Read this post...... by some sax player in a forum.....


"So I'm transcribing Coltrane's solo by ear on "so what" and am dumbfounded on what he played on 3:57 to 3:58. I can work out almost everything else he played but these two seconds of this crazy lick.. blew my mind. Almost sounds like button mashing.
Just thought I'd share.
Don't tell me what he plays though. I'm trying to figure it out myself."


Almost sounds like button mashing....Oh my....

Cleveland Banks


Cleve had blue eyes. Those dark blue eyes that are light and transparent at the same time.
He was born in Toombs County Georgia September 1922,


He married Mary Pauline Benton in November 1941. Mitchell was born August 5 1942 and Carolyn was born June 14 1944.



This photo must have been taken in 1947 or 1948.
