Canyon Groove⤴

from

Today’s TDC says

Canyon Groove is a site that allows you to create songs out of mountains, by imagining those lines as grooves in a vinyl record. The download button didn’t work for us but there is a share button. See what songs are singing in one of the mountains.

I played around with the settinga and recorded my tune using the built in Windows snipping tool and uploaded it to Youtube – it’s a bit quiet, so apologies for that!

 

Haunting at the Willington Mill⤴

from

Today’s TDC says

The Strange Company blog describes a series of reports of ghost action in the early 1800s at an old mill.

Talking ghosts? Eerie. Lacking any recently reports create some art – generated imagery, drawing or write a story that describes what modern haunting is happening there (real ghosts don’t just post other images found in google).

I downloaded the image, drew a ghost and added it to make this gif:

A random word poem⤴

Today’s TDC says:

Use this random word generator and write a haiku (5, 7, 5 syllables) about the first word you generate!

The word I got was drift:

A crisp autumn day
Clouds drift across the skyline
Trees dance in the breeze

I took a photo through my study window, it’s at the top of this post

The Last Museum⤴

Today’s TDC says

The Last Museum says it is “the largest search engine for museum art. It uses semantic search, allowing you to search for artworks by theme, style, subject, vibes, or any description you can imagine”.

Visit the Last Museum and have a look around – pretty amazing, huh? Share something that you found with us, or make some art based on what you find and share that.

I spent ages looking around, first at Scottish culture and then searching for specific terms. Amusingly, a search for Findhorn (as we’re just home from holiday there) brought up this picture of Bembridge on the Isle of Wight (in copyright, so not posted here). I don’t have any photos from my time there, we left such a long time ago. But here’s a pic I took last week of Findhorn Bay, with the same sort of composition

Into the Sun⤴

Today’s TDC says:

Make a dramatic photo at sunrise or sunset.

I was in the car driving down the A9 at 10am today, so I grabbed this one from Flickr and tooted it. Findhorn Bay earlier this week, as we were walking home.

A Track for Olive to Play Rhythm⤴

Today’s TDC says

Here’s an image of actress Olive Thomas likely pretending to be a jazz drummer. Share an unlikely song you can imagine her laying down the drum beats too.

I think this track by AC/DC would be a good one for her to try, actually.

Accidental Photo Art⤴

from

Today’s TDC says

Invariably I take unintended photos when grabbing my phone or those weird compositions featuring a blurred thumb selfie. Can you make/shae art from an accidental or unntended photo?

I usually delete any blurry pics I take, but here’s a long exposure one I took at the weekend by mistake. It was very windy!

I headed over to Lunapic to artify it
