Finally photoshop'd my environmental final piece

Finally found my site for my work a Loch Lomond hillside

http://neilshillblog.blogspot.com/2010_03_01_archive.html

I didn't linger too long as days are short at the beginning of February and there was still some way to go. The great advantage of Beinn Dubh is that you can complete a fine circular route by continuing down the south-west ridge to meet the head of the minor road in Glen Luss and then wander the remaining two miles along this quiet glen back to the car. The descent off the hill provides another fine view of Loch Lomond....

A change of plan

Initially the work was going to be very flat very quiet and not as structured as i had thought of when i was making the land art...... the reason for this is that i didn't push far enough because i was limiting myself to what only i had physically done and what i had physically experienced and this work is a work that i could physically do ..............but this isn't about "me" making the work, its about me coming up with ideas that have no limits to myself..... not even with me to even be involved at all with actually labouring the work..... after all architects don't put a hard hat on after they have drafted the final plans and help the grafters with the work do they? its time to think in a colossal scale it's time to push further to the point where i simply couldn't do it... where my work simply overtakes my capacity to do it rather than my ability to do it

Newton's laws of motion


Newton's laws of motion are three physical laws that form the basis for classical mechanics. They describe the relationship between the forces acting on a body and its motion due to those forces. They have been expressed in several different ways over nearly three centuries,[2] and can be summarized as follows:
  1. First law: Every body remains in a state of constant velocity unless acted upon by an external unbalanced force.[3][4][5] This means that in the absence of a non-zero net force, the center of mass of a body either remains at rest, or moves at a constant velocity.
  2. Second law: A body of mass m subject to a net force F undergoes an acceleration a that has the same direction as the force and a magnitude that is directly proportional to the force and inversely proportional to the mass, i.e., F = ma. Alternatively, the total force applied on a body is equal to the time derivative of linear momentum of the body.
  3. Third law: The mutual forces of action and reaction between two bodies are equal, opposite and collinear. This means that whenever a first body exerts a force F on a second body, the second body exerts a force −F on the first body. F and −F are equal in magnitude and opposite in direction. This law is sometimes referred to as the action-reaction law, with F called the "action" and −F the "reaction". The action and the reaction are simultaneous.
