The yellow era didn't last long. The day after I took this shot, almost all of the remaining leaves fell to the ground.
The Allegory of Fame is a painting by the Dutch Golden Age artist Gerard de Lairesse (1641-1711). Gerard de Lairesse was a renowned painter and art theorist in the 17th century, known for his contributions to Dutch Classicism.
The Allegory of Fame, also known as "Fama", is one of his notable works and depicts the allegorical figure of Fame. In Greek mythology, Fame, also known as Pheme, was the personification of fame and renown. In Roman mythology, she was called Fama.
The painting typically shows a female figure with outstretched wings, symbolizing the widespread reach of her influence and reputation. She is often portrayed with a trumpet or a horn, which she uses to announce the achievements and accomplishments of individuals to the world.
Fame was a popular subject in Renaissance and Baroque art, and artists often depicted her in various poses and contexts to convey different aspects of her influence and power.
In Gerard de Lairesse's version of the Allegory of Fame, he likely imbued the composition with his distinctive style, characterized by a grand and classical aesthetic. His paintings were influenced by classical antiquity, and he was particularly inspired by the works of Italian Renaissance artists, such as Raphael and Michelangelo.
Windows have always been a photography favourite for me but peeling paint and good light are harder and harder to find. This window is in an abandoned house but has the peeling paint, aging curtains, and the sunrise light needed to give it the texture, colour and shadow that I wanted.

I bought this hand made sculpture in Crete
some 30 years ago as a true 3D
replica of a restored mural in the bronze age palace of Knossos where the scene is set against a blue backdrop which I have tried to recreate here.
Sports, stunt or religion? I suppose we shall never have the exact answer as there are no written records and your imagination is as good as anyone else's. Likewise whether its depicting an aurochs or simply a domesticated bull. Some have maintained that the brown male is a worker, whilst the two white dames belong to the nobilty and so shed light on bronze age class society, and I suppose there is much more to be imagined and uttered.
I saw these two weathered farm buildings just sitting off the highway. Of course I had to stop and take their photo. There is something about old farm buildings that I really like. Especially when they have a lean to them. This one leans to the south which tells me it has survived many northern winter winds.

Bringing you something different today to mark my birthday. I am trying to make an effort with learning Thai; a language that I am having a lot of trouble mastering. I recently learned how to ask to have my hair cut short. When I tried it out on my hairdresser she looked at me funny, asked if I was sure and when I responded positively she cut it way shorter than I ever remember!
Here I am modelling my new look on the balcony of my condo - what do you think?
