I don't like flashy awards, since they're mostly given because of an obligation to stupid group rules. If you got something to say, say it in your own words and not by copying and pasting. I don't follow such rules, so if you have the sweaper running, don't even bother to invite me please. As of now the flashy awards will be removed, no offence!

16/365 Photo Manipulations Project
Took a little road trip yesterday down the Mission Trail. Not sure I like what I did to this, but anyway, a few of the original shots are in comments.
The Ysleta Mission, located in the Ysleta del Sur Pueblo within the municipality of El Paso, Texas, is recognized as the oldest continuously operated parish in the State of Texas. The Ysleta community is also recognized as the oldest in Texas and claims to have the oldest continuously cultivated plot of land in the United States.
In 1680, as a result of the Pueblo Revolt, the Tigua (Tiwa) tribe was forced to flee from their ancestral home, Isleta Pueblo, located south of present-day Albuquerque, New Mexico. Some of the pueblo people fled to Hopi reservations in Arizona while others followed Spanish colonists as they retreated southward. The Spanish and Tiguas eventually settled in El Paso del Norte (present day El Paso, TX) where they established the Ysleta del Sur Pueblo and where the Ysleta Mission was founded. The spelling of Ysleta with a "Y" and the term del Sur (south) was to differentiate the new settlement from the mother pueblo, Isleta. In 1682, the Tigua people built a permanent structure out of adobe and, in October of that year, the building was formally dedicated by Bishop Salpointe of Tucson and named La Misión de Corpus Christi de San Antonio de la Ysleta del Sur in honor of the Tigua's patron saint, Saint Anthony (San Antonio).
Over the next two centuries the mission was relocated several times due to flooding of the Rio Grande river. In 1829 one such flood washed away the structure. The flood also resulted in the river cutting a new course further south and the area where the church had been located was no longer considered a part of Mexico but of the Republic of Texas. In 1897 the structure was remodeled and the now familiar gables and bee-hive bell tower were added. A fire in 1907, caused by chemicals stored in the bell tower to repel bats, resulted in massive damage to the building. The church was rebuilt in 1908 and remains much the same today. The church prospered and in 1918 Our Lady of Mount Carmel School was established and it remained open until 2005 when the church closed it. The Texas Historical Commission erected historical markers at the Ysleta Mission in the following years: 1936 - First mission and pueblo in Texas, 1962 - Site of first mission in Texas, and 1970 - Oldest mission in Texas. On July 31, 1972, the Ysleta Mission was added to the National Register of Historic Places.

Real Name: Glaberin
Powers: Manipulation and creation of fire, flight, immortality
Backstory: An ancient deity of a forgetten religion, Glaberin is the physical embodiment of the sun. The ancient people who followed him and his fellow gods believed that every celestial body had a physical body in the mortal world. Glaberin is one of the only words scientists know of this ancient people's language; It means "Lightbringer". Glaberin has the ability to transform into his "Awakened Form", where he is a being made of pure flame.

Mariko Mori (森 万里子, Mori Mariko, born 1967)
Mariko Mori is an internationally acclaimed artist. Her practice explores universal questions at the intersection of life, death, reality, and technology. Her work has been acquired by museums and private collectors worldwide. Mori gained international recognition for her interactive installation, Wave UFO, which debuted at Kunsthaus Bregenz, in Bregenz (Austria) in 2003. The installation was subsequently shown in New York (USA) with Public Art Fund, Genoa (Italy), and was included in the 2005 Venice Biennale (Italy). It was also featured in Oneness, a survey of Mori’s work that opened at the Groninger Museum (Netherlands), then traveled to the ARoS Aarhus Kunstmuseum, in Aarhus (Denmark), the PinchukArtCentre, in Kyiv (Ukraine). Oneness was also exhibited at Centro Cultural Banco do Brasil, in Brasília, Rio de Janeiro and São Paulo (Brazil) in 2011.
Mori’s most recent large-scale installation, Ring: One with Nature, was unveiled to the public on August 3, 2016 as part of the Celebra™ Cultural Program of the Rio 2016 Olympic and Paralympic Games in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Highlighting Mariko Mori’s artistic and intellectual practice combining science, technology, and nature, this new work features a luminous ring suspended at the peak of a 58-meter-high cascading waterfall. The permanent installation is situated at the top of the Véu da Noiva waterfall, meaning “the veil of the bride,” located in Muriqui, Mangaratiba, in Rio de Janeiro State. Ring is the second and most ambitious work to be realized by Mori's Faou Foundation and is part of the Foundation’s larger mission to place the artist's site-specific works on the six habitable continents. Ring is preceded by Mori's 2011 installation, Sun Pillar, at Seven Light Bay on Miyako Island, Japan, as part of a paired work in progress entitled Primal Rhythm.
Mori’s solo exhibitions have been exhibited throughout the world, including Royal Academy of Arts, in London (United Kingdom), Japan Society, in New York (USA), Espace Louis Vuitton Tokyo (Japan), The Museum of Contemporary Art, in Tokyo (Japan); The Brooklyn Museum of Art, in New York (USA); The Museum of Contemporary Art, in Chicago (USA); The Serpentine Gallery, in London (England); The Dallas Museum of Art, in Dallas (USA). Several renowned museums have presented Mori’s solo exhibitions, as well as acquired Mori’s works in their collections, including Centre Georges Pompidou, in Paris (France); The Prada Foundation, in Milan (Italy); The Museum of Contemporary Art, in Chicago (USA); The Los Angeles County Museum of Art, in Los Angeles (USA). The PinchukArtCentre, in Kyiv (Ukraine); The ARoS Aarhus Kunstmuseum, in Aarhus (Denmark), The Guggenheim Museum, in New York (USA); The Israel Museum, in Jerusalem (Israel); The Museum of Modern Art, in New York (USA) have Mori’s works in collection.
Mori has received various awards, including the prestigious Menzione d’onore at the 47th Venice Biennale in 1997 (for “Nirvana”) and the 8th Annual Award as a promising Artist and Scholar in the Field of Contemporary Japanese Art in 2001 from Japan Cultural Arts Foundation.
In 2010, she founded the Faou Foundation, an art nonprofit based in New York City.
