1.

A breathtaking land art piece titled “Below” created by Jon Foreman at Lindsway Bay, Wales, UK. The design features an intricate circular pattern etched into the sand, with layers of geometric and organic motifs spiraling inward, creating the illusion of depth. A person stands near the edge, highlighting the massive scale of the artwork, with the ocean waves gently rolling in the background.

“Below” at Lindsway Bay, Wales, UK


Jon Foreman: Wanted to do this one for a while, great to do this drawing style again and get lost in the process. Good weather always helps too. This illusion/composition isn’t nearly as complex as you’d expect, just a bunch of circles really. Then I just add in all the patterns like many of my previous works. There is however a mistake which is very easy to spot, I’ll leave that for you guys to work out.


2.

A land art piece titled “Extimus Lux” by Jon Foreman, featuring a spiral pattern created from stones placed in shallow water. The design begins at the center and radiates outward, forming a hypnotic swirl that blends with the natural shoreline. A person stands barefoot nearby, admiring the artwork, with the calm water reflecting light around the spiral.

3.

A vibrant land art piece titled “Explosia” by Jon Foreman, created at Freshwater West, Wales, UK. The design features a dense cluster of colorful stones arranged in a circular shape, radiating outward in smaller, scattered patterns. The intricate use of pebbles creates a sense of movement and energy, resembling an explosion captured in a still moment on the sandy beach.

“Explosia” at Freshwater West, Wales, UK


Jon Foreman: Often I get to a location not knowing what I’m about to create, this was one of those days. Upon starting all I had in mind was to start with big stones and work my way down to small stones. After a while it became apparent that this was turning into a work very similar to that of Dietmar Voorwold (who btw you should all check out cause his work is awesome!) anyway my point is there are things that I do in land art such as playing with scale/ colour that lead me to places that have already been discovered and it was completely unintentional for it to look like his work, I tried to then add my own style to it by dispersing the stones. Once I got so far I had to finish it having spend a good few hours on it already. Anyway I hope its seen more as a nod to an awesome artist than me copying his work.


4.

A radiant land art piece titled “Calefacio Stella” by Jon Foreman, created at Freshwater West, Wales, UK. The design resembles a starburst, crafted from carefully arranged stones of varying sizes and colors. The stones radiate outward in symmetrical, pointed formations, with the warm hues of the beach and distant rocks adding depth to the serene coastal setting.

5.

A serene land art piece titled “Exspergo Luna” by Jon Foreman, created at Freshwater West, Wales, UK. The design features a crescent shape made from colorful stones, carefully arranged on golden sand. The gradient of pebbles fades into smaller pieces, adding a delicate texture and enhancing the moon-like appearance of the artwork, set against the rippling patterns of the sandy surface.

“Exspergo Luna” at Freshwater West, Wales, UK


[strong][strong]Jon Foreman: [/strong][/strong]A very time consuming way of working, the stones being compact and interlocking makes for a more solid piece but I could resist a disperse inwards. For some reason this style reminds me of jelly beans. Probably cause of the randomness of the angles that they’re placed. Also, recalling the light from photographing a previous moon piece. I chose to wait a while seeing a cloud heading my way and went for the capture while the cloud was thin so that there would still be shadow, but not too harsh a shadow.


6.

A captivating land art piece titled “Consumo” by Jon Foreman, created at Freshwater West, Wales, UK. The design forms a large circular arrangement of stones, with jagged, flame-like patterns extending inward toward the center. The stones vary in size and color, adding depth and texture to the piece. The artist sits nearby, reflecting on his work, blending perfectly with the serene beach setting.

8

“Rubra Spiralis” at Sandy Haven.

“Horarium” at Little Milford Woods with Layla Parkin.


10

“Oculus” at Freshwater West.


11

“Vortex” at Little Milford woods.


Jon Foreman: Definitely had some collapses with this one. Previous to this work I’ve made pieces to test the strength of the mud/clay that I gather from the river nearby. This shows it well, I used it to stick the sticks to the tree and the leaves to to sticks. Definitely enjoying the mushroom quality and the ability to work much more three dimensionally.


12

“Fluentem Colos” at Little Milford.


13

Land art spiral made of moss by Jon Foreman in Minwear Woods, Wales. A series of green moss spirals radiate from the base of a tree, carefully arranged on a forest floor covered in brown autumn leaves. The artist is seen kneeling in the background, emphasizing the natural setting and thoughtful placement. The moss was ethically collected to allow regrowth, and the secluded hillside location was chosen to avoid foot traffic.

“Musco” at Minwear Woods


Jon Foreman: Great care is taken when using moss to ensure that there’s still plenty to be able to regrow and hopefully will continue to grow where placed. I chose this specific spot because it’s in a spot on a hill where people are less likely to walk.


14

Land artist Jon Foreman arranges a spiraling pattern of smooth white stones on the sandy beach at Pensarn, Wales. Titled Fluidform, the artwork features lines of pebbles radiating outward in a hypnotic wave, each line transitioning from large central rocks to tiny pebbles at the edges. The artist is captured mid-process, crouching as he carefully places one of the final stones, blending precision with the natural landscape.

“Fluidform” at Pensarn


15

“Cluster Moon” at Freshwater West


Jon Foreman: Two days working on this one, the tides didn’t go all the way up that day/night, it began as the dark blue to white working inwards on the first day and went outward from purple to yellow on the second day.


“Twister” at Little Milford Woods


Jon Foreman: I’ve been holding onto this one, the top of the piece is blurry and a lot of the other photos had similar issues, should have checked the images properly on the camera. The leaves are stuck using clay, all long gone now!

TIL that Kenyan workers have been used so much to train AI systems, that standard writing by Kenyan people is often flagged as AI generated while it is not (which means that they can get discriminated for jobs / exams etc)
marcusolang.substack.com/p/im-…

Edit: many people raised below that the article is talking about texts written in very classically trained English detected as AI generated, which is the case for many Kenyans. It is documented that many Kenyan workers have been hired to train LLMs, but I made an assumption that it was the reason for this detection while it may not be. Sorry about that, thanks for the feedback (and feel free to continue the discussion here)

Where in the linked post does it say that?

in reply to jan Ki | 奇

@ki
the synopsis is wrong

try this: high achieving Kenyan students were trained to write in a very clear, traditional style that has a certain rhythm & format that readers / listeners respond to because we (English speakers & writers worldwide, not just Kenyans) absorbed a common English language culture from the late British Empire

LLMs have now also absorbed this so nowadays doubters & racists assume Kenyans' polished writing wasn't written by them but by ChatGPT

Orti della Susanna a Cibali, i cittadini alla scoperta del futuro parco


E’ stata soltanto una passeggiata nel verde, ma può essere considerata anche un seme di qualcos’altro.

Anche perché questa passeggiata non si è svolta in campagna o nell’estrema periferia della città, ma a due passi dal trafficato viale Mario Rapisardi, a poca distanza da negozi, uffici, scuole, che i partecipanti si sono lasciati alle spalle per entrare in contesto del tutto […]

Right from the 1917 Balfour Declaration, the Zionists said up front that violence would be necessary to displace and replace the Palestinian population.

They invented a convenient fake history in order to garner international support for doing it.

As Finkelstein says, The Zionists "leave out the 2000 years when they weren't there".

@zl2tod

It may appear so, but in it was embedded a form of discrimination that enabled apartheid:

While political rights were granted to Jews, only civil & religious rights were mentioned for Palestinians.

Likudniks argued that, due to Balfour not extending political rights to Palestinians, only Jews had a right to self-determination (statehood).



on a discreet-murder scale from 'choked on a fishbone' to 'stabbed up the nose with a nunchuck', I think being garroted with dental floss definitely leans toward the latter end.

"If something doesn't change now, it will never change"

In #Romania, an investigation has revealed the profoundly corrupt power structures in the Justice system.

Raluca Moroșanu, a judge, spoke out publicly against this corruption, spontaneously, during a press conference. Now, she offered Recorder a full interview.

Analysis: Trial of the Filton 24 Palestine Action activists

The Filton 24, detained under the Terrorism Act (2000) for a week, have been in custody for over a year. Most are set to be imprisoned for more than 2 yrs before trial.

The evidence was handed over to Elbit for over a year, part of the collusion between Elbit & the UK state, including the police.

Analysis: "Israel's biggest con trick: Hiding the true numbers it has killed in Gaza"

In addition to direct deaths from Israeli bombs, vast numbers of Gazans have been "indirectly" killed through starvation, disease, & destroyed homes, water, electricity, sanitation & hospitals.

The indirect toll is likely four times greater than the direct toll, ie, at least "350,000 killed in Gaza through Israel’s actions."

Report: "Death run": British military flights assist Israel during Gaza genocide

In addition, Britain filmed & shared footage of Gaza with Israel "on days that Israeli attacks have killed British citizens."

Britain holds footage of Gaza from the day UK fmr marine, James Henderson, was killed along with six other aid workers. The UK "has refused to publish the tape, citing national security exemptions."
