RICE FIELDS OF JAPAN - art even in their fields
Stunning crop art has sprung up across rice fields in Japan , but this is no alien creation. The designs have been cleverly planted.
Farmers creating the huge displays use no ink or dye.
Instead, different color rice plants have been precisely and strategically arranged and grown in the paddy fields.
As summer progresses and the plants shoot up, the detailed artwork begins to emerge.
Napoleon on horseback can be seen from the skies.
This was created by precision planting and months of planning by villagers and farmers located in Inkadate , Japan .

A Sengoku warrior on horseback has been created from hundreds of thousands of rice plants.
The colors are created by using different varieties. This photo was taken in Inakadate , Japan .

From ground level, the designs are invisible, and viewers have to climb the mock castle tower of the village office to get a glimpse of the work.

Closer to the image, the careful placement of the thousands of rice plants in the paddy fields can be seen.
Rice-paddy art was started there in 1993 as a local revitalization project, an idea that grew from meetings of the village committees.
The different varieties of rice plants grow alongside each other to create the masterpieces.
In the first nine years, the village office workers and local farmers grew a simple design of Mount Iwaki every year.
But their ideas grew more complicated and attracted more attention.
In 2005, agreements between landowners allowed
the creation of enormous rice paddy art.
A year later, organizers used computers to precisely plot planting of the four differently colored rice varieties that bring the images to life.

V Day Picnic with Cole
Yesterday Colee' and I headed out to Cayucus for a little picnic fun in the sun. It was a beautiful day mid 70s and a light breeze. As we headed up to the top of the hill we heard a voice yell "Cory" sure enough it was Trevor Adams lounging on his patio soaking in the breath taking view of studios. ( I thought to myself man am I really that easy to spot out)
We scouted out the best picnic spot and then we set up shop. Colee had the bottle popped before I could even get the blanket down( picnic secret #12 use forks to hold down blanket in the wind) A little gift exchange and straight to creating sandwich perfection.I must say a day of lounging in the sun never felt so good....
happy Valentines day

Hello Sunshine
As I woke this morning I was greeted by the sun. He smiled his morning smile brighter than normal for he had been away for a couple of days. The rain had come and gone so I decided to start the day with a little walk around Slo Town. The ground was soft and the plants were wet dripped with morning dew as I strolled rocking out to some Phoenix. Surprisingly I found some cool subjects to shot. I stumbled on a 76' Rambler that was finding his roots in on the side of a Buchoun house. Then I ran into some Iry flowers just relaxing in the sun. Then I decided taking picture makes me hungry is it time for breakfast yet???
But Wait today is the day that Mac releases their new "Jesus scroll" to the world.
Meet the flagship of Apple’s recent flurry of patent activity, a product some have been predicting Apple would release for years: the Mac tablet. This slate-format tablet is as portable as a MacBook Air, but with a twist: It also docks into an iMac for regular desktop work. This is no stuffy PC tablet; expect a fully thought-out interface and a specialized Mac OS update—as well as a treasure trove of innovations that could take this tablet from cool to downright phenomenal.
Based on existing technology, the tablet would feature iPhone-like multitouch, spanning the entire screen. Flitting through images and albums will be as easy as it is on the iPhone and the latest MacBook touchpads. And new gesturing patents granted this year will continue to add capabilities, assigning new functions to more multifinger gestures, full-palm gestures, and stylus data-entry.
When you’re not mobile, the Mac tablet docks into an iMac-like chassis. This may seem mundane at first, but don’t count on Apple leaving this as a simple, dumb display, with a relatively underfeatured tablet shouldering all of workload. Tucked inside this custom iMac you’ll find a larger, secondary hard drive (for extra storage or automatic backups), a beefed-up graphics chip, or even an extra processor, giving the tablet a power boost befitting a workstation. -MacLife

Painting With Light





After a full day of sprinkles in SLO -Town I was dying to get outside for a little fresh air. As you know I love taking pictures and cant go a day without capturing something awesome. So this evening I headed to the top of the hill to shot some night shots of painting with light. This technique has been used all over from commercials to ads but its just so fun and easy I couldn't help myself. Light painting, also known as light drawing or light graffiti is a technique in which exposures are made usually at night by moving a hand-held light source. By utilizing a tripod and a bulb setting long exposures become very dramatic and drawn out making night as bright as day . The Possibilities are endless give it a try.
