Here is something to change from the red poppy flowers! ;-)
Edit :
I found what flower it was : A passiflora.
Canon EOS 5DmkII with EF 100mm f/2.8 macro @ 1/15th sec; f/8: iso50.
Beginning a new little series showing the intricated details of this variety of Iris (different from the Iris of my previous up-load),
grown and blossomed for the very first time in my garden.

I do love the fibrous complexity of the way the branches spread out in this scene. The light enough to highlight the tendrils as they seek a path outwards.

Nothing amazing when it comes to the composition. Just held in the hand, some nice light and the spectacular colour and complexity of an autumn leaf.

Great Blue Heron ~ (Ardea herodias)
Two Great Blue Herons engage in a courtship display. Their feathers puffed out and heads bobbing up and down make for a striking and animated scene. Watching these large birds interact with one another in a mix of energy and tenderness is a wondrous thing.
Thanks for visiting!
Standing outside this century old barn, I looked up to see an aircraft flying overhead and thought of how far we'd come. The barn featured a unique swing beam construction that allowed a team of horses, hitched to a wagon, to turn around without having to back up. Horses apparently don't like to walk backwards so this made life easier for farmer and animal alike. When you compare that marvel of practical engineering to the complexity of the plane, it seems there are no limits to what we can accomplish.

Chaotic Simplicity or Orderly Complexity :-/ . Allegory . रूपक . ଦୃଷ୍ଟାନ୍ତ . Alegoría . 寓言 .
… Story continued from post # 7. The kids bid a tearful farewell to the Lonely Lion :'-( The Caring Camel brought them back to the outskirts of the jungle. They all hugged the Caring Camel for one last time, said good-bye, and headed back home…
… I have been noticing that the kids appear to be sort of confused since their return from the jungle. Initially I thought they might be missing the exciting company of the Lonely Lion and the Caring Camel, but of late I have come to realize that the kids have been grappling with something far more fundamental – they just can’t make up their mind about what they love more, the chaotic simplicity of jungle life or the orderly complexity of city life :-/ Well, I guess they will eventually figure it out someday. The End.
Looking for the Lonely Lion series

New Holland Frog portrait.
Taken on a Canon EOS 5D DSLR coupled to a vintage Japanese made Contax Carl Zeiss 60/2.8 C/Y Makro Planar T* 1:2 lens with a Leitax adapter. Tripod, manual metering, manual focus and a multi-flash set-up utilized. Taken fully stopped-down @ f.22 & 1/80th sec. ISO: 50.
There is beauty in intricate complexity, since the very beginning the universe progresses towards complexity. The Earth started as a naked sphere of molten rock, now billions of diverse Lifeforms and complex geology/geography cover the entire planet.

Holy Week in Sicily:
"… There is no country in Sicily, in which
the passion of Christ does not revive
through a real
representation, in which people
lives or statuary groups do not
of the streets and squares the theater
of that great drama ... "
(Leonardo Sciascia).
“…Jesus said, “I love you as you are. And I love you too much to leave you as you are…”
(Chris Lyons).
The rites of Holy Week are present in Sicily with complexity of content and symbologies due to numerous influences, very present those due to the Spanish culture, dominating the island between the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries; in the mystery of the death and resurrection of Christ, it is attended by a popular culture, referring to ancient pre-Byzantine rites that originated long before those of Mediterranean Christian culture.
These ancient rituals represent the most significant moments of the Passion of Jesus Christ, described in the Gospels, from his arrest by the Romans to the Resurrection and are part of the Holy Week celebrations, together with the normal religious functions.
The rites of Holy Week unite Sicily in a single collective rite, an appointment highly anticipated by many Sicilian and non-Sicilian photographers, due to the covid-19 pandemic, now also for this year 2021, as for last year, these celebrations- collective rites will not be able to take place, so I created a "photographic showcase" to be presented on Flickr, composed of images belonging to events that belong to the Sicilian Easter rites, posted in past years; of each reportage presented, I only took "a few cards" more or less significant, some photos were originally posted in black and white, and as such I left them, other photos were posted in color, the latter I re-edited in black and white to conform them to a single photographic language; some photos differ within this black and white language, for having been subjected to a very marked vignetting, I have left them anyway, belonging to reportage characterized by that type of post-production.

la Settimana Santa in Sicilia:
"…non c'è paese in Sicilia, in cui
la passione di Cristo non riviva
attraverso una vera e propria
rappresentazione, in cui persone
vive o gruppi statuari non facciano
delle strade e delle piazze il teatro
di quel grande dramma..."
(Leonardo Sciascia).
“…Gesù disse: “Ti amo per come sei. E ti amo troppo per lasciarti come sei…”
(Chris Lyons).
I riti della Settimana Santa presentano in Sicilia una complessità di contenuti e di simbologie dovute a numerosi influssi, molto presenti quelli dovuti alla cultura spagnola, dominante nell’isola tra il XVI ed il XVII secolo; nel mistero della morte e della resurrezione di Cristo, si assiste nella cultura popolare, a riferimenti risalenti da antichi riti pre-bizantini che originano da molto prima di quelli della cultura cristiana mediterranea.
Questi antichi riti rappresentano i momenti più significativi della Passione di Gesù Cristo, descritti nei Vangeli, dal suo arresto da parte dei romani alla Resurrezione e fanno parte, insieme alle normali funzioni religiose, delle celebrazioni della Settimana Santa.
I riti della Settimana Santa uniscono la Sicilia in un unico rito collettivo, appuntamento attesissimo da molti fotografi siciliani e non, a causa della pandemia da covid-19, oramai anche per quest'anno 2021, come per l'anno scorso, queste celebrazioni-riti collettivi, non potranno attuarsi, ho così realizzato una "vetrina fotografica" da presentare su Flickr, composta da immagini appartenenti ad eventi che appartengono ai riti Pasquali Siciliani, postati negli anni passati; di ogni reportage presentato, ho preso solo "qualche tessera fotografica" più o meno significativa, alcune foto furono postate originariamente in bianco e nero, e come tali le ho lasciate, altre foto furono postate a colori, queste ultime le ho rieditate in bianco e nero per uniformarle ad un linguaggio fotografico unico; alcune foto differiscono all'interno di questo linguaggio in bianco-nero, per essere state sottoposte ad una vignettatura molto marcata, le ho lasciate ugualmente, appartenenti a reportage caratterizzati da quel tipo di post-produzione.
This is an open cluster, close to the Eta Carina nebula. It is already beautiful to the naked eye, showing stars of different colors. But through long exposures, it looks spectacular!
I really think this is one of the most beautiful open clusters in the night sky. The residual nebula that glows in H-Alpha brings an incredible complexity to this DSO.
By the way, I was very happy to be able to record this surrounding nebula. It is much darker than the other nebulae that I am used to photograph, and the heap of stars around it makes it even more difficult.
