Tulip was cultivated in fields as early as 1000 AD in Turkey. Flowers occur naturally from Southern Europe and North Africa, across Anatolia, Iran to the northwest of China. The flower was first introduced into Europe by an Austrian Professor who taught in Holland. With its saturated and vivid colours, it was in Holland where the love affair with the flower began. As new varieties were created, people began to speculate the bulbs. Price of bulbs went on higher until a bulb cost as much as a house. Eventually the bubble busted in 1637, as the prices tumbling down. However, the love affair continued, as can be seen on Dutch still life paintings. The majority of the photos were taken in the Mirabellgarten of Salzburg where Maria were filmed with her children in the movie, “The Sound of Music”. The tulip is perennial, bulbous plant in the genus Tulipa, with the family of Liliaceae (Lily). Its native range extends from as far west as Southern Europe, Anatolia, Israel, Palestine, North Africa and Iran to the Northwest of China. It consists of a number of Tulip species and many hybrid cultivars. Most cultivars of tulip are derived from Tulipa gesnerana. Tulip was first cultivated in Turkey as early as 1000 AD. It was introduced into the Netherlands in the 17th century. With its vivid saturated colours, it is a perfect flower for the pot. The flower is the symbol for the perfect love. In 1850, the book “The Black Tulip” was published. It was written by Alexandre Dumas the author of the The Marketteers. It was a novel about the creation of a perfect black tulip.

Further to the previous version released in 2011, this version of ‘Dawn and Dusk’ includes some more photos taken in the last few years. The presentation covers wider scope and has more diversity of colours. This is also my first attempt using the wide screen format (1920 x1080). The presentation is best view with Powerpoint 2010 on a wide screen monitor. It also includes some new animations offered by Powerpoint 2010, which has not been adopted by Powerpoint internet websites. It is best if you download the latest Microsoft Powerpoint viewer, which is free.

It is still difficult to believe such competent and successful female printer exist in the early 17th Century (the Baroque era). In the last month I have read a lot about her until such that I feel I know the person and I can say something about her. She was rape by her teacher at the age of 18. Because of that much had been written about her from the feminist point of view, which I think is a mistake. It really does her a dis-service and took away her artistic achievements. We should stick to facts and evidences rather than the speculations of how the her mental state. It is stupid to psychoanalyse someone who live centuries ago without basis. There are several points that stood out about Artemisia She was very successful, her patronage include the royalties of England, France and the Medici. She worked in many cities. She would be successful even by today’s standard. Her paintings lack the ‘female’ touch. It is indeed difficult to tell from looking at the painting alone that they were painted by a woman. Her attention to details and gestures shows that she was a thinking artist. This can be demonstrated by the two versions of Judith Slaying Hologernes. She likes strong colours particularly golden yellow and beautiful dresses. Her family relationship with her father and children were good. She liked the company of men and had many lovers. I think, her paintings were the equivalent of a fast action movie of today, full of movements and a bit of sex and violence on the side.

High on the Colorado plateau, in the middle of the desert, on the Navajo Tribal land, there is a canyon, where water runs through rocks. It is located near the town of Page, at the northern boundary of Arizona. The Navajo name for this place is Tse Bighanilini and it is commonly known simply as the Upper Antelope Canyon. The canyon was formed by erosion of the Navajo Sandstone, primarily due to the occasional torrent of flash floods and aided winds. It is this process that gives the rock a characteristic ‘flowing’ shape and wave patterns. It a magical place where the sunlight gives birth to colours. The Upper Antelope Canyon is a slot canyon. It encloses a high and narrow space, like a medieval cathedral. Inside the canyon it is filled by reflected and diffused colour lights like the stained glass windows inside a cathedral. It is the nature’s version of the medieval cathedral.

This is a HD wide format Powerpoint with some animations. Best to download it and view it on wide screen monitor. This series of photos were taken during my visit to the United States in Sep 2014. Because of the immense distances and the volume of air between the camera and scenery, all the images were darken and blue cast removed to allow the vivid colours to come through, to show its true beauty. The Grand Canyon is some 446 km long in length and 29 km wide. It was carved out by the Colorado River some 5.5 million years ago, when a giant lake on the Colorado Plateau was emptied by the river. In this process the river exposes some 2 billion years of geological history of the area.

Jan van Eyck was one of the greatest revolutionaries in art. He radically changed the way in which men look at the natural world. His artistic achievements were well-known in Renaissance Italy. Vasari, who wrote about Van Eyck a hundred years later, wrongly attributed the discovery of oil painting to him. Only a few years after his death in 1441, Jan van Eyck was being hailed on both sides of the Alps as one of the greatest painter of the age. Despite Van Eyck’s great fame, little is known of his life except for his last years. For the last 16 years of his life, he worked at the court of Philip the Good, The Duke of Burgundy. The Duke made use of his skills as both painter and diplomat, sending him on numerous secret missions. The works of Jan van Eyck are celebrated for their visual splendor and precision of detail. Their brilliant colours and magnificent definition are due to Jan’s refinement of the oil-painting technique and died even before the great High Renaissance master painters were even born.

To cover over 2 millennium of maritime trade, in the Middle East, India, SE Asia and China under 50 slides, can only give us the briefest gleam into the course of history. To get the benefit of the slides, you will need to set aside some time to read through the contents (This is a very wordy document. It takes time to read). Our perceptions on the maritime contacts are changing too. The discovery in particular of dozens of ancient shipwrecks in Southeast Asia has built up a picture of the historic trade and the technology.I hope in these few slides, would help to understanding an aspect of human civilization on Earth. Too often our own ego-centric interest becomes a source of our own ignorance.

Qugong (meaning the Old Palace) was the official residence of the Chinese Emperor for the Ming and Qing dynasties. It was completed in 1420 and took 15 years to build. It is a model of Chinese palatial architecture. In this version, it includes the recently restored Qianlong’s retirement garden apartments (倦勤斋), which mothballed for the last 100 years. The apartment was built at the zenith of the Qing Dynasty. The interior decorations are extravagant in design, using the finest materials and employing the best of Chinese and European craftsmanship. It was recently restored and many of the original materials have survived relatively unaltered in the last 230 years. The restoration cost $25m and planning began in 2002 and expected to be completed in 2019.

The Strait Chinese or Peranakan Chinese or Baba Nyonya is an unique culture, fused with elements from the Chinese, European and Malay influences. Although they are mostly ethnical Chinese (mainly from Guangdong & Fujian), with some Malay blood. They speak a varieties of languages, Chinese dialect, mainly Cantonese and Hokkien but also Malay and English. Today, they are distinctive and differ from other Chinese cultural groups like the mainland Chinese, the Hong Kong Chinese or the Taiwanese Chinese. This is achieved primarily by preserving the older traditional Chinese culture of Southern China together with influences from European and Malay. This is in contrast to other overseas Chinese immigrant groups living in North America and Europe, which tends to be absorbed into the general Western culture as their offspring, move out into the wider society. If the Peranakan or Baba Nyonya is to keep their unique identity then it is important to maintain and to develop their own cultural traits, amongst an ocean of global cultural diversity. They have been doing this for the last several hundred years, there is no reason why they would not succeed in doing so in the future. As time past their uniqueness will be strengthen as their culture diverge from their roots, which are also evolving. In reality the picture is mixed, their community, excluding Singapore is under pressure from political and social discriminations. In Malaysia, their proportion of the total population in their country of birth is in declining at a rate about 2% per decade. In Indonesia, the Chinese cannot even use their own Chinese sounding names, since 1966. Many professionals, the young and the brightest are leaving for wealthier countries like Singapore, Australia, England, USA and Canada, that offer more equal job opportunity for them or for their children. Malaysia and Indonesia is a country rich in natural resources but in recently years it has being left behind. The 2012 figures from the IMF on GDP (PPP basis) per capita listed Singapore as the third highest ($60,799), Hong Kong ($50,936 equal with the US) in the 6th place, with Taiwan ($38,400), Japan ($35,855), South Korea ($31,950), whilst Malaysia ($16,794) and Indonesia ($4923) are trailing behind.

Penanag Heritage Houses

The oldest building still in use in the world is the Pantheon in Rome. It was built in 117 AD, nearly 2000 years old. It must look a bit odd when it was first completed. The building is round and has an enormous dome on top. Looking at its exterior now it may not look much, but it is still one of the most admired buildings in the world, mainly because of its age and the construction technique used in the building. I wonder if any of our iconic buildings today would survive as long. Would they still appear as aesthetically pleasing as they are now? The Guggenheim Museum Bilbao is such an iconic building today. It has become the landmark of the city of Bilbao. Just like the Tower Bridge to London, the Statue of Liberty to New York, and the Eiffel Tower to Paris. In this sense the Guggenheim Museum of Bilbao is a big success. Nobody can take that away. Not only has the building shown us the use of new construction technique and the use of new material, it was also completed on time and within budget. I was not sure how to look at the building before my visit. But after looking at it, I think it is a great building and a piece of architectural art.
