black square sun hypeЯReally eclipsed through layers of social housing blocks
The black square sun immersing into eastern-bloc-style housing estate facades were meant for a HDRI - but instead Photomatrix 2.4.1 synthesized a kind of hyperreal sunscape from a pair of location shots that were taken at 18:29:07 and 18:29:44 [local times]: During those 37 seconds the red sun disc had been shifting further downwards and into the northern (“HyperBorean”) wind direction.
The software program serendipitously doubled the two suns instead of bringing them into congruence. It had into one of the two red sundiscs jumped the dark squarehatched pattern taking it obviously from the concrete blocks beneath the setting sun. - And the second disc came out as a pale imitation of the blocked out star being in eclipse.

housing houses and flats considered collectively.° the provision of
accomodation: a housing association
housing estate ► noun Brit. a residential area in which the houses have all been planned and
built at the same time.
HLM (habitation à loyer modéré), French for "housing at moderated
rents" or "rent-controlled housing", is a form of
subsidised housing in France. There are approximately four million
such residences, housing an estimated fourteen million people — nearly
a quarter of the population of France.

ASTRONOMICAL TERMINI
eclipse an obscuring of the light from one celestial body by the passage of
another between it and the observer or between it and its source of
illumination. PHRASES: in eclipse = loosing or having lost significance, power or prominence [_NODE_]
eclipsing binary ► noun Astronomy a binary star whose brightness varies periodically as the two
components pass one in front of the other. [_NODE_]
(-->'Doppelstern').
Doppler effect an increase (or decrease) in the frequenzy of sound, light or other
waves as the source and observer move towards (or away from) each
other. The effect causes the sudden change in pitch noticeable in a
passing automobile, as well as the red shift seen by astronomers.
red shift the displacement of spectral lines towards longer wavelengths in
radiation from distant galaxies and celestial objects. This is
interpreted as a Doppler shift which is proportional to the velocity
of recession and thus to distance. Compare with 'blue shift'.
[_NODE_p1556_]
What is a (cosmic) redshift? "Astronomers often use term redshift to describe how far away a distant
object ist. ...To understand what a cosmic redshift is, think about
sound! ... As the airplane passes you, you will hear the familiar
Doppler-Shift (0:54sec)." (Tom Jarrett, IPAC-Caltec).
The expanding universe stretches out light waves as they travel
through space. Longer waves correspond to redder light. This
stretching of light waves is called "red shift" and denoted
by the letter z. The more distant a galaxy, the farther its light has
traveled through space and time and the greater its redshift. If the
universe doubles in size between the emission of light by a galaxy and
its reception on Earth, the galaxy's redshift z = 1; if the universe
triples in size, z = 2, if it quadruplicates, z=3 etc.
3D-Map of 16,000 quasars April 24, 2009
... a newly released map from the 2dF cosmology project shows the
locations, in three dimensions, of nearly 16,000 quasars with measured
redshifts ... The farthest of these ultraluminous galactic nuclei, with red-shifts as great as 3, are seen from a time when the universe was less than 2 billion years
old. Statistical analysis of the new map is ongoing, and another
10,000 quasars remain to be observed before the 2dF project (named for
the multi-object spectrograph on the 3.9-meter Anglo-Australian
Telescope) comes to its end ... One of the most important findings is
that the farthest quasars seem to be just as strongly clustered as
those much nearer. Matter ought to cluster more strongly as the
universe ages and gravity pulls clumps together. Testing this basic
tenet of cosmology is a principal goal of the next generation of
galaxy redshift surveys.
quasar (Astronomy) a massive and extremely remote celestial object, emitting
exceptionally large amounts of energy, which typically has a starlike
image in a telescope. It has been suggested that quasars contain
massive black holes and may represent a stage in the evolution of some
galaxies. [_NODE_p1518_] squared sun blacked out¹ hypeЯReally eclipsed² by

“ HYPER-WORLD ”
hyperreality: In semiotics and postmodern philosophy, the term hyperreality
characterizes the inability of consciousness to distinguish reality
from fantasy, especially in technologically advanced postmodern
cultures. Hyperreality is a means to characterise the way
consciousness defines what is actually "real" in a world
where a multitude of media can radically shape and filter the original
event or experience being depicted. Some famous theorists of
hyperreality include Jean Baudrillard, Albert Borgmann, Daniel
Boorstin, and Umberto Eco:
-─► “ The simulation of something which never really existed. ” - Jean Baudrillard
-─► “ The authentic fake. ” - Umberto Eco
-─► “ [HyperReality] is nothing more than the technological capability to
intermix virtual reality (VR) with physical reality (PR) and
artificial intelligence (AI) with human intelligence (HI) in a way
that appears seamless and allows interaction. ” - Nobuyoshi Terashima
-─► “ A HyperWorld is not only where what is real and what is virtual interact, it is
where human intelligence meets artificial intelligence. ” - John Tiffin in "The HyperReality Paradigm"

─► wikipedia 2008: The term Black Sun may originate from the mystical "Central Sun" in Helena
Blavatsky's Theosophy. This invisible or burnt out Sun (the so called „Santur“ [by NS-mysticist Karl Maria Wiligut]) symbolizes an opposing force or
pole. Emil Rüdiger (member of the Edda-Society around Rudolf John
Gorsleben) claimed that a fight between the new and the old Suns was
decided 330,000 years ago, and that „Santur“ had been the source of
power of the Hyperboreans.
─► blog 2007: Tibet: FASCIST OCCULTISM AND IT’S CLOSE RELATIONSHIP TO BUDDHIST
TANTRISM by Victor & Victoria Trimondi - Sun, 11/04/2007 - 23:15 — Arthur
Cristian
· The myth of the “black sun” which was able to win a central place in
the neo-fascist movement and displays similarities with the Tibetan
Rahu myth from the Kalachakra Tantra, can be traced to the inspiration
of Wiligut and his milieu among others. In a commentary on Wiligut’s
runic writings, a pupil, Emil Rüdiger, mentions an invisible dark
planet, Santur by name, which is supposed to influence human history
and to be able to be microcosmically linked with the energy body of an
adept. Appropriate yogic exercises(rune gymnastics) are recommended
for producing “high intelligence effects” (Lange, 1998, p. 226). Just
how seamlessly such “rune gymnastics” can be linked to tantric
exercises can be seen in the writings of Miguel · Serrano, the father
of “esoteric Hitlerism” (Serrano, 1984).
· According to Serrano the SS were divided into two sections, an inner
esoteric one and an outer one. The “exoteric SS” were selected to “be
able to deal with the most difficult tasks and adventures in the
external world”. “Nothing of the esoteric of the black order, its
practices and teachings, its invisible connections and its occult
doctrines was known” to them (Serrano, 1987, p. 264). The “inner
circle” of the SS consisted of “sun people, supermen, god-men, the
total human, the human magician” (Serrano, n.d., p. 96). The esoteric
SS were siddhas (magicians) from the underground kingdom of Shambhala,
or at least their messengers In German, SS are the initials of the
“black sun” (“schwarze Sonne”), and Serrano did also call the members
of the order “the men of the black sun”. We are reminded that the
planet of darkness, Rahu, which darkens the sun and moon, is also
referred to in the Kalachakra Tantra as the black sun.
· According to Jan van Helsing (Geheimgesellschaften und ihre Macht
... [“Secret Societies and their Power”], 1993), Tibetan monks worked
together with Templar Knights who were organized in the highest lodge
of the “black sun” on the establishment of the Third Reich. The secret
order had (and still has) an important base underground in the
Himalayas. The ruler of the underground kingdom is said to be “Rigden
Iyepo”, the king of the world, with his representative on the surface,
the Dalai Lama.
· In Die schwarze Sonne von Tashi Lhunpo [The Black Sun of Tashi
Lhunpo] (1996), McCloud reports on the survival of the national
socialist Thule group in Tibet . They are the followers of a “sun
oracle” there.
· For Wilhelm Landig (Götzen gegen Thule ... [Idols against Thule],
n.d.), Tibet is also “the realm of the black sun! It is the meeting
point of the esoteric circles of the Schutzstaffel [the SS], whose
knowledge Mr. Himmler also knew about but did not share.”
· In his novel (The Black Sun…, 1997), Peter Moon reiterates the
decisive influence of Tibetan Lamas on National Socialism and extends
it with new images. He takes the side of the old Tibetan Bon religion,
and accuses the Dalai Lama and Tibetan Buddhism of religious
oppression.
· The myth of the “black sun” (Rahu myth in the Kalachakra Tantra)
─► blog 2009: The Far Right, Youth and Fascist Occultism by Hari Kunzru, 28th May 2009
Nick Griffin has released an album of folk songs, whose cover is like
something from a Norwegian Blood Metal band, complete with runic title
and an image of the Black Sun, a pagan occult symbol much beloved of
Neo-Nazis. It’s hard to say exactly what it represents to this
reasonable middle-of-the-road politician, but his party maintains
links with racist Neo-Pagan groups around Europe, many of whom profess
a version of Odinism or Icelandic Asatru, in which the Black Sun
features as a religious symbol. More Odinist than most are the
Tempelhof-Gesellschaft, an Austrian outfit who believe that the Aryan
race is of extraterrestrial origin (Aldebaran, since you ask),
destined to dominate the other races, due to the ‘vril’ energy pumped
out by the Black Sun.

─► The War for Control of the Story
by Daniel Pinchbeck, May 19, 2010 "Freemarket" advocate Milton Friedman noted that when there
is a major crisis, the ideas that get put into practice are the ones
that happen to be "lying around." When the Soviet Union
collapsed, neoliberal economists rushed into the void, and managed to
institute a "gangsta" capitalism, with public resources sold
off to the highest bidder or briber. If we are going to soon see the
collapse of our debt-based financial system, it would make sense to
plan for this in advance. Can we develop a different foundation,
perhaps even a fully functioning prototype, that shows how society can
be reorganized to mesh within the limits of the biosphere, while
supporting the flourishing of our individual and collective gifts?

The anti-sun.
That would be enough for the deleteit on its own.
But then, I don't think I had the chance to pour over a photo of yours before. It's my pleasure.....
I'm not a fan of HDR in general, and this one I wouldn't have recognised as one either. That's not a positive connection, unfortunately.
It's also waaay too grainy.
I always admire it, but non-realistic like photos stand little chance in this group. It remains steadfastly on the "must look like a real photo" stance. So kudos to that, but I personally don't like it in this form.
It's quite daring to put one of your first HDRs into this group. You seem to have a masochistic strand there. But then, welcome. I think you've found the right group....
I also don't like the composition, something that has salvaged many a shot for me. Everything is square (excepting the Anti-sun sin), and it doesn't really draw my eyes to anywhere but to the "next photo, please" button.
End of the line.
Looking forward to your next submission. Ahh, in the double sense.....

Its a very interesting effect and I like this picture. Do you think you could replicate the technique? I reckon you could do a lot with it. Its like a double exposure but with more, which I suppose it is as a failed HDR process. Its a much more interesting picture for it.
As for the vote, if it was the Deleteme Uncensored: Urban Art group, then I would most probably saveit, but its not so

Multitude & Metropole von Antonio Negri und Michael Hardt:
... Die Metropole könnte man als das Skelett und Rückgrat der Multitude bezeichnen, das heißt als die gebaute Umgebung, die ihr Tun unterstützt, und als das soziale Umfeld, in dem Affekte, soziale Beziehungen, Gewohnheiten, Wünsche, Ideen und kulturelle Kreisläufe abgelagert und aufbewahrt sind. Die Metropole schreibt nicht nur die Vergangenheit der Multitude ein – ihre Subordinationen, Leiden und Kämpfe – und reaktiviert sie, sondern bestimmt auch die Bedingungen, positive wie negative, ihrer Zukunft ...
