Tuneage

This was intended to be part of the Stand Up for Peace Challenge last week but it took me a bit to figure out :D It's about the best homage I could to the Indian Holi Festival. For those that don't know and in short it's basically a festival to celebrate love. After I thought about the challenge a bit, I got to thinking: standin up for peace is awesome, but even better if you just applied this to all aspects of your life. Stop hating on others and stop hating on yourself. If everyone took a grip more time putting others before their own insecurities, then maybe there would be no need to stand up for peace. Maybe we would already have achieved it.

The name, first applied long ago, simply means "little dun-colored (gray-brown) bird," a good description of the Dunlin in winter plumage. Spending the winter farther north than most of its relatives, this species is a familiar sight along the outer beaches during the cold months, as far north as New England and even southern Alaska. It is often in large flocks; in flight, these flocks may twist and bank in unison, in impressive aerial maneuvers. In breeding plumage, the Dunlin is so much more brightly colored as to seem like a different bird.

What is special about a Belted Kingfisher?

Belted kingfishers are one of the few bird species where the female is more colorful than the male, sporting a chestnut or rust-colored band across her chest. Males are all blue-gray and white. 2. When looking for a belted kingfisher, listen for their distinct and loud rattling or chattering call.

The belted kingfisher is a large, conspicuous water kingfisher, native to North America. All kingfishers were formerly placed in one family, Alcedinidae, but recent research suggests that this should be divided into three subfamilies. Wikipedia

Scientific name: Megaceryle alcyon

Conservation status: Least Concern (Population stable) Encyclopedia of Life

Applied some light painting here by bouncing in the light off of some other tufa behind us. Was just for a few seconds to provide some low light details in the foreground.

Tagetes is a genus of annual or perennial, mostly herbaceous plants in the sunflower family (Asteraceae). The genus is native of south of México, but some species have become naturalized around the world.The common name in English, marigold, is derived from Mary's gold, a name first applied to a similar plant native to Europe, Calendula officinalis. The most commonly cultivated varieties of Tagetes are known variously as African marigolds or French marigolds, many of which were developed in France. Depending on the species, marigold foliage has a musky, pungent scent, though some varieties have been bred to be scentless. It is said to deter some common insect pests, as well as nematodes. Tagetes species are hence often used in companion planting for tomato, eggplant, chili pepper, tobacco, and potato. Z2_168

Happy Sliders Sunday

For Macro Mondays, "Crack."

An approximately 1.25 inch detail from a 48-inch square contemporary painting. The artist laid down a black base, placed string stretched horizontally at intervals, and then applied a thick impasto layer of red acrylic paint. The string was pulled off, cracking the red layer and revealing the under-layer as rough black lines. The gold stripes were applied and the painting was finished with a urethane top coat.

The museum was built between 1893 and 1896 and was designed by Ödön Lechner in the Hungarian Secession style. It has a green roof and the interior is designed using Hindu, Mogul, and Islamic designs. I used to live on the same street back in the 60’s where it is located, and frequently visited the museum.

Sagrada Família, Barcelona, España.

El Templo Expiatorio de la Sagrada Familia, conocido simplemente como la Sagrada Familia, es una basílica católica de Barcelona (España), diseñada por el arquitecto Antoni Gaudí. Iniciada en 1882, todavía está en construcción (noviembre de 2016). Es la obra maestra de Gaudí, y el máximo exponente de la arquitectura modernista catalana.

La Sagrada Familia es un reflejo de la plenitud artística de Gaudí: trabajó en ella durante la mayor parte de su carrera profesional, pero especialmente en los últimos años de su carrera, donde llegó a la culminación de su estilo naturalista, haciendo una síntesis de todas las soluciones y estilos probados hasta aquel entonces. Gaudí logró una perfecta armonía en la interrelación entre los elementos estructurales y los ornamentales, entre plástica y estética, entre función y forma, entre contenido y continente, logrando la integración de todas las artes en un todo estructurado y lógico.

La Sagrada Familia tiene planta de cruz latina, de cinco naves centrales y transepto de tres naves, y ábside con siete capillas. Ostenta tres fachadas dedicadas al Nacimiento, Pasión y Gloria de Jesús y, cuando esté concluida, tendrá 18 torres: cuatro en cada portal haciendo un total de doce por los apóstoles, cuatro sobre el crucero invocando a los evangelistas, una sobre el ábside dedicada a la Virgen y la torre-cimborio central en honor a Jesús, que alcanzará los 172,5 metros de altura. El templo dispondrá de dos sacristías junto al ábside, y de tres grandes capillas: la de la Asunción en el ábside y las del Bautismo y la Penitencia junto a la fachada principal; asimismo, estará rodeado de un claustro pensado para las procesiones y para aislar el templo del exterior. Gaudí aplicó a la Sagrada Familia un alto contenido simbólico, tanto en arquitectura como en escultura, dedicando a cada parte del templo un significado religioso.

The Expiatory Church of the Sagrada Familia, known simply as the Sagrada Familia, is a Roman Catholic basilica in Barcelona, Spain, designed by architect Antoni Gaudí. Begun in 1882, it is still under construction (November 2016). It is Gaudí's masterpiece and the greatest exponent of Catalan modernist architecture.

The Sagrada Familia is a reflection of Gaudí's artistic plenitude: he worked on it for most of his professional career, but especially in his later years, where he reached the culmination of his naturalistic style, synthesizing all the solutions and styles he had tried up to that point. Gaudí achieved perfect harmony in the interrelationship between structural and ornamental elements, between plasticity and aesthetics, between function and form, between content and container, achieving the integration of all the arts into a structured and logical whole. The Sagrada Familia has a Latin cross plan, five central naves, a three-aisled transept, and an apse with seven chapels. It boasts three façades dedicated to the Birth, Passion, and Glory of Jesus. When completed, it will have 18 towers: four at each portal, making a total of twelve for the apostles, four over the transept invoking the evangelists, one over the apse dedicated to the Virgin, and the central dome tower in honor of Jesus, which will reach 172.5 meters in height. The temple will have two sacristies next to the apse and three large chapels: the Assumption Chapel in the apse and the Baptism and Penance Chapels next to the main façade. It will also be surrounded by a cloister designed for processions and to isolate the temple from the exterior. Gaudí applied a highly symbolic content to the Sagrada Familia, both in architecture and sculpture, dedicating each part of the temple to a religious significance.

Happy Sliders Sunday ... Red Matte processing applied within Lightroom, and then some other tweaks to the sliders.

Thought this brought out the wintry mood here in Maryland.

Luckily this most recent winter storm this weekend just brought rain along the Chesapeake Bay and not snow.

Now hoping the storm pulls away and lets us have some clear skies for the moon show tonight.

Ok, it's that time of year. Low raking morning light (without needing to get up at "daft o'clock") and the leaves are starting to fall.. Driving back on the school run, I had 10 minutes to spare -- so pulled over at the local park. Grabbed this and applied a lot pp work to 1) try and enhance the image and 2) fix the fact I blended 3 exposures but didn't use the self-timer so half the image is misaligned over on the right...

As I drove away, at the top end of the park, I saw far better photo oppurtunities pass by... But, it was too late, my 10 minute window was up..

Les sculptures de Laurent Trezegnies sont en grande partie conditionnées par une prise en considération des lieux d’intervention et par une volonté de modifier la façon dont ils peuvent être appréhendés. Pour Art Public Liège, il a développé une installation au moyen de sangles d’arrimage tendues entre la base des deux piles de la passerelle Saucy et la structure de son tablier. Les traits rouges définissent ainsi deux faisceaux qui rayonnent vers le haut. Il y a des jeux avec la présence du fleuve : d’oppositions avec la noirceur de ses eaux ; de reflets avec sa surface ; de résonances avec le mouvement des vagues. « Je travaille sur la richesse expressive du trait, sur ses interprétations. Avec une pièce comme celle-là, je questionne en quoi le dessin peut être appliqué à des formes environnementales pour élargir, renouveler, enrichir la perception du lieu et en proposer une nouvelle vibration. Comme dans la plupart de mes interventions, les matériaux sont industriels, de ceux dont la puissance expressive est généralement tenue pour inexistante. En outre, les sangles modifient la fréquence du vent et apporte une dimension sonore. »

Laurent Trezegnies’s sculptures are largely conditioned by a consideration of places of intervention and by a desire to modify the way in which they may be understood. For Art Public Liège, he developed an installation using lashing straps stretched between the base of the two piers of the Saucy footbridge and the structure of its deck. The red lines thus define two beams which radiate upwards. There are games with the presence of the river: oppositions with the blackness of its waters; reflections with its surface; of resonances with the movement of waves. “I work on the expressive richness of the line, on its interpretations. With a piece like this, I question how drawing can be applied to environmental forms to expand, renew, enrich the perception of the place and offer a new vibration. As in most of my interventions, the materials are industrial, those whose expressive power is generally held to be non-existent. In addition, the straps modify the frequency of the wind and bring a sound dimension. "

The black livery applied to 6233 Duchess of Sutherland was not to all tastes but I didn't mind it although I preferred the green.

Heading north on the WCML at Brock on 22/5/2010

A group of us were stood on the footbridge over the M6 when a bloke wandered in and set up in the middle of the field and ignored requests to move to join us.This was inconsiderate but also pretty stupid as the farmer was busy cutting the grass and headed straight for him as the train approached so he had to shift sharpish anyway.He is nicely hidden by the tractor on this shot although it was easy enough to clone him out if necessary

You could answer this question by throwing in a paper-coin at the exhibition "Beauty" at the Museum of Applied Arts in Vienna. The answer of this question will follow...

Applied a texture from Mat, actually applied it twice with some curves layers in between.

Still not very good, but still practicing.

Has a kind of 'dark' fairytale feel. Applied a mild filter, adds a bit more contrast and hint of blue.
