macarons frenzy!
A macaron (French pronunciation: [makaˈʁɔ̃]) is a sweet confectionery made with egg whites, icing sugar, granulated sugar, almond powder or ground almond, and food coloring. The macaron is commonly filled with buttercream or jam filling sandwiched between two cookies. Its name is derived from an Italian word "maccarone" or "maccherone". This word is itself derived from ammaccare, meaning crush or beat, used here in reference to the almond paste which is the principal ingredient. It is meringue-based: made from a mixture of egg whites, almond flour, and both granulated and confectionery sugar.
The confectionery is characterized by its smooth, domed top, ruffled circumference (referred to as the "foot"), flat base, mildly moist and easily melted into mouths.
Macarons can be found in a wide variety of flavors that range from the traditional (raspberry, chocolate) to the new (truffle, green matcha tea). The fillings can range from jams, ganache, or buttercream. Since the English word macaroon can also refer to the Coconut macaroon, many have adopted the French spelling of macaron to distinguish the two items in the English language. However, this has caused confusion over the correct spelling of the cookie/biscuit. Some recipes exclude the use of macaroon to refer to this French confection while others think that they are synonyms.

«Το σώμα που μιλάει: Δραματοθεραπεία σε ψυχοσωματικά συμπτώματα»
Κυριακή 20 Μαρτίου 2011 (5.00-8.00 μ.μ.) Εργαστήρι δραματοθεραπείας * «Το σώμα που μιλάει: Δραματοθεραπεία σε ψυχοσωματικά συμπτώματα» Η δραματοθεραπευτική μέθοδος αποδεικνύεται μία από τις καταλληλότερες για τη γρήγορη και αποτελεσματική θεραπεία ψυχοσωματικών συμπτωμάτων, καθώς αυτά φαίνεται να εμφανίζονται όταν πάσχει η έκφραση δυσάρεστων συναισθημάτων μέσα από άλλες οδούς. Το ψυχοσωματικό σύμπτωμα δεν είναι παρά το σώμα που μιλάει με έναν τρόπο ασυνείδητο. Έτσι εκφορτίζεται αυτό που παραμένει ανέκφραστο. Μέσα στο εργαστήρι αυτό θα δούμε πώς σχετίζεται το ψυχοσωματικό σύμπτωμα με το συναίσθημα και πώς αυτό το τελευταίο βρίσκει την έκφρασή του μέσα από το σώμα. Θα χρησιμοποιήσουμε τεχνικές δράματος, φωτογραφία και την αντανάκλαση της ομάδας προκειμένου να φανερωθεί το κρυφό νόημα του συμπτώματος. Το εργαστήρι απευθύνεται τόσο σε επαγγεμλατίες των επιστημών του ανθρώπου και καλλιτέχνες που ενδιαφέρονται για τη μέθοδο της δραματοθεραπείας, όσο και σε όσους επιθυμούν να προσεγγίσουν θεραπευτικά το θέμα. Εισηγ. εργαστηρίου: Δήμητρα Σταύρου (Ψυχολόγος-Δραματοθεραπεύτρια) Κόστος Εργαστηρίου: 50 ευρώ. Τηλ. Συμμετοχής: 2108064426, 6945350084. *Η Δραματοθεραπεία είναι αποτελεσματική μέθοδος ψυχοθεραπείας για: κατάθλιψη, άγχος, προβλήματα σχέσεων, εξαρτήσεις, προβλήματα ταυτότητας κ.ά. Ιδανική επίσης για όσους επιθυμούν αυτεπίγνωση, αύξηση της δημιουργικότητας και εκφραστικότητας.

Fade into you
I want to hold the hand inside you
I want to take a breath thats true
I look to you and i see nothing
I look to you to see the truth
You live your life
You go in shadows
You'll come apart and you'll go black
Some kind of night into your darkness
Colours your eyes with whats not there
Fade into you

The very bright streak is Jupiter traversing the sky, it's a great time to look for our solar system's biggest planet! And don't miss the Perseid Meteor Shower right around the corner peaking Aug. 12th, it should be a good year for it!
This is one of my first stacked star trail images, usually in the past I used slide film or used 15-30 min exposures. For this image, 62 1 min 11 sec exposures 1 sec apart were combined with this free Photoshop action. Others you might want to try, especially if you need a stand alone if you don't have PS are here and here. Enjoy!
My shadow, my fog bow, my aura
While walking in the Sykkylven mountains with a beautiful autumn sun behind, a cloud raised up in front of me, and I saw the shadow of my head within a halo.
I have seen such haloes several times surrounding the shadow of an aeroplane, but I had never seen anything like this before. I was puzzeled and experimented with the situation. Here I have found a place where I could create a shadow of my whole body. I have spread my legs, and you can se a slight shadow of my lifted right arm.
There is partly sunlit grass in the foreground, in the background another hill and the fjord further behind.
I always regarded this as a rainbow phenomenon, but learned today that it is a different phenomenon based on Mie scattering and not refraction and reflection. I found this explanation on internet ( www.gsfc.nasa.gov/scienceques2002/20030214.htm ).
"How about fog bows? Yes, fog bows, also known as fog dogs, cloud bows or white rainbows, can be observed on occasion. But even when one has formed, it may go unnoticed, since fog dogs are generally bereft of color. Whereas rain drops may be 0.5 mm in diameter, fog droplets are typically less than 1/10 this diameter. If you happen to see such a bow, you may notice that it's broader than a rainbow (rainbows cover about 2 degrees of the sky or about 4 times the width of the Sun or Moon), and there may be an orange tint on the outer portion of the bow. Actually, fog bows are caused by a diffraction of light rather than refraction and reflection. Because the fog droplets are so tiny, the wavelengths of visible light, which are obvious in the larger drops producing the rainbow, interfere with each other. The result is color bands that overlap. As the droplets get smaller, the interference is even greater, and the light that emerges is completely colorless. As with rainbows, in order to see a fog bow, you need to look in the opposite direction of the Sun."
