The feast of the "Virgen de la Candelaria" begins on the eve of the 2nd of February and last until the first Sunday after that day, and ends one week after continuing with the celebration of the Carnivals. On February 9th the folklore parade is celebrated. The groups, which paraded days before, on the 2nd, now return for a procession before the Virgin, who will gaze them from the atrium of the church. Then, folk groups set off through the city, dancing tirelessly until sunset. At the end of the week the feast ends in the cemetery, for the paying of respects of the dead.
The statue of the Virgin is small, and it represents a virgin of very white complexion and blushed cheeks. This Virgin is harbored in the Church of San Juan El Bautista.
In the afternoon the virgin statue leaves the church, and more than forty groups attired in the costumes and masks classic in the culture of altiplano dance, join crowd.
On the main day, February 2, the virgin is led through the city in a colorful procession comprising priests, altar boys, the faithful, Christians and pagans carefully maintaining the hierarchy. This is the moment when the troupes of musicians and dancers take the scene, performing and dancing throughout the city.

G'day everyone! As I've studied and been more educated about Interior Design, I've come to understand and learn about what the main focus and strategy is,
behind Interior Design, or Architecture alone. Nature is very important,
it enhances the chemical of where the structure stands, you have to respect natures well being to then accomplish and create a building on mothers land. Once you've accomplished then you will be able to understand it's stance.
Interior Design is mostly inspired by Fashion, the skin complexion of the models
which stand upright, within the landscape, the two define each other and create a
storyline somehow, and usually the Designer will influence the Internals by bringing in the depths of the 'exterior'
such as landscape, but Fashion also allows an Interior Designer to grasp a space, like additional emotions, setting a mood for instincts.
A mid-dry grounds, with weeds of thorn bushes, and long grass, climbing up through the sand dunes, as the wind blows out, swooping down over the rocks,
and the distant town calling out, the red rock, the white sand, the crisp fresh, dry,
sounds of a nature taking its toll. The models stand free, with the wind relapsing itself, through
their hair, clothing with no branding or tagging, to be detached from the day to day routine, and to just connect with the mother nature.
The exterior of the structure was designed by myself, but with the help of a dear man, Thomaz Mulloy,
he was able to transform, the structure and make it into a high definition build with nice quality textures. The build wasn't inspired by anyone but nature,
it's wind protected, meaning the build stands tall at 8 meters high, it's shaped like an 'A' being a windbreaker at the front, protecting the front and back from
strong wind storms, but on peaceful days it looks rather beautiful, with its mighty strength standing but a simple structure to not blind and distract its purpose of being there.
As for the Interior of the space, I've really wanted to respect the exterior landscape by incorporating the Interior colour pallet to be flush, in materials, textures and of course the colour range that I have chosen. Warm soft off-whites,
with rusty worn leather accents, a minimal pattern with tribal print work. The structure is bare to a minimum with wooden features to nitpick from the exterior, to flow into the interior, with the pine and oak trimmings. Minimal greenery but gives the interior some life.

“A story exists only if someone tells it.”
TITIAN TERZANI
... this aphorism to introduce this photographic story, which begins in Germany close to the Second World War, to end tragically in Sicily: the main protagonist of this "photographic" story is of German origin, his name is Carl Ludwig Hermann Long (known as Luz Long), but this story could not exist without another great protagonist, American, his name is Jesse Owens. Let's start in order, Luz Long is a brilliant law student at the University of Leipzig, he represents the incarnation of the Aryan man, he is tall, blond, has an athletic physique, his great passion is the long jump, he is a natural talent, this allows him to enter in a short time among the best long jumpers of the time (so much so that he won third place at the 1934 European Championships); Long will be one of the favorites in the long jump at the Berlin Olympics in 1936, whose historical context is that of Nazi Germany which would soon unleash the Second World War, including the racial hatred that resulted in the extermination camps with the Holocaust. Luz Long is remembered both for his great sportsmanship gesture towards his direct American opponent Jesse Owens, who, thanks to Long's unexpected help, will win the long jump competition, thus winning the gold medal (one of the four gold medals he won), while Long finished second by winning the silver medal, but Long is also remembered for his sincere friendship with Jesse, free from hatred and racial prejudice. The Berlin Olympics represent an extraordinary propaganda to the ideals of the Third Reich, it is a very important historical moment to show the superiority of the Aryan race to the whole world; the sports facilities were built with the utmost care by the architect of the Nazi regime Albert Speer (with architectural references from Ancient Greece), the sporting event was about to turn into an ideological tool of the regime, the documentary film " Olympia" of 1938 was also shot for this purpose directed by Leni Riefenstahl (author of films and documentaries that exalted the Nazi regime), where many innovative cinematographic techniques were used for the time, with unusual and original shots, such as shots from below, extreme close-ups, to the platforms in the Olympic stadium to photograph the crowd. Hitler wanted to demonstrate the supremacy of the Aryan race with the Olympics, the Aryan athlete had to correspond to a statuesque stereotyped figure, tall, blond, athletic, fair complexion, blue eyes, Luz Long was the ideal incarnation of him. Forty-nine countries participated in the Olympics, a number never reached before; German-Jewish athletes were expelled from all sports; even African Americans were discriminated against in their country, but they were allowed to compete, even if in smaller numbers, one of them was called James Cleveland Owens, but everyone knew him as Jesse (due to an error of interpretation by the his professor); it was his athletic abilities that allowed him to achieve several records, an important moment was the meeting with Larry Snyder, a good coach, and so thanks to his victories he had the opportunity to compete in the Berlin Olympics: he will be the protagonist of the Olympic Games, a 23-year-old boy originally from Alabama, who in a few days will win 4 gold medals, the 100m race, the 200m race, the 4x100m relay race and the long jump race in which there will be the story that will be worth all the gold medals in the world with Luz Long). Let's get to the point, on the morning of August 4, 1936 Luz qualifies for the long jump final, for Owens the qualification takes place in conjunction with the races of 200 mt. plans, Ownes is engaged in both races, the simultaneity of the two events, and a different regulation between the European and the US one entails him two null jumps, the first jump he thought was a test to test the terrain (as per the US regulation) , instead it was a valid jump for the competition, the second jump sees him very demoralized and makes the worst jump of his life. the elimination is now one step away, but Long interprets with great depth of mind the psychic state of prostration of his direct opponent, he sees him transformed into a face, dejected, Luz approaches him in a friendly way and suggests him to disconnect 20-30 cm before the serve line (and shows him the exact point by placing a handkerchief right next to the platform, at the height of the ideal take-off point, even if not all those who report the event in their chronicles remember the detail of the handkerchief), but also exhorts him by telling him that a champion like him shouldn't be afraid to take off first for the jump: for Owens the third jump if it had been void would have meant his elimination from the competition (and the certain victory of Luz), but, thanks to the suggestion of a technical nature (and perhaps the laying of the handkerchief...), but also affective-psychological ( !) by Luz, Owens following the advice of his direct rival, makes a formidable jump, which allows him to qualify. Long is the first to congratulate Jesse, both on the occasion of qualifying and after him with his final victory, which will result in his fourth gold medal. A deep, true friendship is born between Long and Jesse, in the videos available of the time it is really exciting to witness their handshakes and their embraces in those first moments, under the stern gaze of the Führer, a friendship that will consolidate in the following days, making a habit of dating in the olympic village. After the 1936 Olympics, in 1939 he became a lawyer, in 1941 he married, shortly after his son Kai was born, in 1942 he was called up as an officer of the Luftwaffe and sent to the front line, in April 1943 he was assigned to the Herman armored division Göring and the following month he was sent to Sicily immediately after the Allied landing on the island (Operation Husky): Long dies at the age of thirty, he is in Niscemi with the armored division, and is thus involved in the fighting for the defense of the Biscari-Santo Pietro airport; the causes of death are not certain, the most plausible is that of an aggravation due to wounds sustained in combat against the Anglo-Americans, he was found by a fellow soldier on the side of a road, from here he was transported to the nearby field hospital, where he died on July 14, 1943. He was first buried in a temporary cemetery, then his body was exhumed and then transferred in 1961 to the German military cemetery of Motta Sant'Anastasia while it was still under construction, now it is there that Luz Long rests: crypt 2 “Caltanissetta”, plate E, his name engraved on the slate slab preceded by the rank “Obergefreiter-dR" (Appointed of the Reserve), followed by the dates of birth 27 IV 13 and of death 14 VII 43; it is what remains of Luz Long, one of the 4,561 German soldiers who died in Sicily during the Second World War and are buried here. In his last letter to his friend Owens, Luz magining its end near, he asks him to go to her son and tell him who had been his father; his friend Jesse did as requested and even went to his son's wedding. And Owens….? … Jesse returned to his homeland did not have the respect he deserved after winning 4 gold medals (!), Those were the times when black people were considered "second class" (!); indeed, although with a nod the fuhrer saluted him (as Owens himself declared), the behavior of the American president Franklin Delano Roosevelt was unspeakable, he did not even deign to welcome the Olympic winner to the White House as tradition required (! ). Back in the United States, Jesse had to adapt to doing the most varied jobs, including being a boy at a gas station. To make a living he raced against horses, dogs and motorcycles, as a freak show; many years would pass before his value was recognized; he said «all the medals I have won could be melted down, but the 24-carat friendship that was born on the platform in Berlin could never be reproduced».
Postscript:
Long did not share the Nazi objectives and ideology, he was in complete antithesis with them, endowed with great sensitivity and profound nobility of mind, he was very far from the fanatical and cruel creed of Hitler's Germany, as demonstrated by the words he wrote in 1932 in a letter sent to his grandmother: “all the nations of the world have their heroes, the Semites as well as the Aryans. Each of them should abandon the arrogance of feeling like a superior race."
On his tombstone (as well as on others), under which his remains rest closed in a box, next to his name, today there are some small stones, they are small symbols, which recall the Jewish custom of leaving, instead of flowers, a pebble on the graves of the deceased, to demonstrate that his story has not been forgotten, it is a message of peace and brotherhood of which Luz was a promoter in life, his thoughts also reach us through his burial place, because, as stated on the plaque placed at the entrance to the German military cemetery of Motta Sant'Anastasia "the graves of the fallen are the great preachers of peace" (Albert Schweitzer, Nobel Peace Prize).

“La storia esiste solo se qualcuno la racconta.”
TIZIANO TERZANI
… l'aforisma per introdurre questo racconto fotografico, che inizia in Germania a ridosso della seconda guerra mondiale, per poi terminare in maniera tragica in Sicilia: il protagonista principale di questa storia “fotografica” è di origine tedesca, si chiama Carl Ludwig Hermann Long, detto Luz (meglio conosciuto come Luz Long), però questa storia non potrebbe esistere senza un altro grande protagonista, lui è statunitense, si chiama Jesse Owens. Iniziamo con ordine, Luz Long è un brillante studente di legge all'Università di Lipsia, rappresenta l’incarnazione dell’uomo ariano, è alto, biondo, ha un fisico atletico, la sua grande passione è il salto in lungo, è un talento naturale, ciò gli consente in breve tempo di far parte dei migliori saltatori in lungo dell’epoca (tanto da conquistare il terzo posto agli Europei del 1934); Long sarà uno dei favoriti nel salto in lungo alle Olimpiadi di Berlino nel 1936, il contesto storico è quello della Germania nazista che da lì a poco scatenerà la Seconda Guerra Mondiale, incluso quell’odio raziale che porterà ai campi di sterminio con l’Olocausto. Luz Long viene ricordato per un suo grande gesto di sportività verso il suo diretto avversario statunitense Jesse Owens: egli grazie all’inaspettato aiuto di Long, riuscirà a vincere la gara del salto in lungo, conquistando la quarta medaglia d'oro ! mentre Long arriverà secondo (con la medaglia d'argento), Long però viene ricordato anche per la sua sincera amicizia verso Jesse, scevra da odi e pregiudizi raziali, una vera rarità visto il contesto storico della Germania nazista. Le Olimpiadi di Berlino rappresentano una straordinaria propaganda agli ideali del Terzo Reich, è un momento importantissimo per mostrare al mondo intero la superiorità della razza ariana; le strutture sportive vengono realizzate con la massima cura dall’architetto del regime nazista Albert Speer (con riferimenti architettonici dell’Antica Grecia), la manifestazione sportiva diviene uno strumento ideologico del regime, a tale scopo viene girato il film-documentario “Olympia” del 1938, diretto da Leni Riefenstahl (che oltre ad essere attrice, regista, fotografa, diventa autrice di film e documentari che esaltano il regime nazista), nel docu-film delle olimpiadi vengono impiegate molte tecniche cinematografiche innovative per l'epoca, con inquadrature insolite ed originali, come le riprese dal basso, con primi piani estremi, l'utilizzo di binari nello stadio olimpico per riprendere la folla. Hitler vuole dimostrare attraverso le Olimpiadi la supremazia della razza ariana, l’atleta ariano deve corrispondere ad una figura stereotipata statuaria, deve essere alto, biondo, atletico, carnagione chiara, occhi azzurri, Luz Long rappresenta la sua incarnazione ideale. Alle Olimpiadi partecipano quarantanove Paesi, un numero mai raggiunto prima; gli atleti ebreo-tedeschi vengono espulsi da tutte le discipline sportive; anche gli afroamericani, sono discriminati nel loro paese, negli USA, però ad essi viene concesso di gareggiare, anche se in numero minore rispetto ai bianchi, uno di loro si chiama James Cleveland Owens, ma tutti lo conoscono come Jesse (per un’errore d’interpretazione da parte del suo professore, per tutti sarà sempre Jesse); sono le sue capacità atletiche a consentirgli di realizzare diversi record, un momento importante è l’incontro con Larry Snyder, un bravo capace allenatore; a Jesse grazie alle sue vittorie si presenta l’opportunità di gareggiare alle Olimpiadi di Berlino: sarà lui il protagonista ed il favorito dei giochi olimpici, un ragazzo di 23 anni originario dell’Alabama, che in pochi giorni si aggiudicherà ben 4 medaglie d’oro, la corsa dei 100, dei 200, la corsa a staffetta dei 4x100 e quella del salto in lungo nella quale ci sarà la nota vicenda con Luz Long che varrà tutte le medaglie d’oro del mondo, come dichiarerà Jesse molti anni dopo !). Veniamo al dunque, la mattina del 4 agosto 1936 Luz si qualifica per la finale del salto in lungo, per Owens la qualificazione si svolge in concomitanza con la gare dei 200 mt. piani, Ownes è impegnato in entrambe le gare, la contemporaneità dei due eventi, ma anche un diverso regolamento sportivo tra quello Europeo e quello Statunitense gli comportano due salti nulli, il primo salto egli pensa fosse di prova per saggiare il terreno (come da regolamento Statunitense), invece quello che effettua è un salto valido per la gara, col secondo salto le cose vanno ancora peggio, lui è profondamente demoralizzato e finisce col compiere il peggiore salto della sua vita, l’eliminazione è oramai ad un passo, però Long interpreta con grande profondità d’animo lo stato psichico di prostrazione del suo diretto avversario, lo vede trasformato in volto, abbattuto, Luz gli si avvicina con fare amichevole e gli suggerisce di staccare 20-30 cm prima della linea di battuta, gli mostra il punto esatto dove staccare poggiando un fazzoletto proprio di fianco alla pedana, all’altezza dell’ideale punto di stacco (non tutti coloro che parlano della gara riportano nelle loro cronache il particolare del fazzoletto), Luz incoraggia Jesse dicendogli che un atleta come lui non deve certo temere di staccare prima per il salto, qualche centimetro perso per lui che è un campione non è certo un problema !; per Owens il terzo salto è l'ultima possibilità di qualificarsi, se non dovesse farcela di sicuro la vittoria sarebbe di Luz ! ... però proprio in virtù del suggerimento tecnico-affettivo-psicologico (e forse anche grazie alla presenza del fazzoletto...) operato da Luz, Owens compie un formidabile salto che gli consente di qualificarsi. Long è il primo a congratularsi con Jesse, sia in occasione della sua qualificazione, sia dopo, quando ci sarà la sua vittoria finale. Tra Long e Jesse nasce una profonda, vera, grande amicizia, nei video disponibili dell’epoca è emozionante assistere alle loro strette di mano, ai loro abbracci durante la competizione, questo sotto lo sguardo severo e contrariato del Führer, amicizia tra i due che si consoliderà ancor più nei giorni successivi, frequentandosi nel villaggio olimpico. Dopo le Olimpiadi del 1936, nel 1939 Luz diventa avvocato, nel 1941 si sposa, poco dopo nasce suo figlio Kai, nel 1942 è richiamato alle armi come ufficiale della Luftwaffe e spedito in prima linea, nell’aprile del 1943 viene assegnato alla divisione corazzata Herman Göring, il mese successivo è inviato in Sicilia subito dopo lo sbarco degli Alleati sull’isola con l'Operazione Husky: siamo oramai all'epilogo, Long si trova a Niscemi con la divisione corazzata, viene coinvolto nei combattimenti per la difesa dell'aeroporto di Biscari-Santo Pietro, viene ferito, e poco dopo morirà, all'età di trent'anni. Le cause della morte non sono certe, la più plausibile è quella di un suo aggravamento dovuto alle ferite riportate nel combattimento contro gli Anglo-Americani, viene trovato ferito da un suo commilitone sul ciglio di una strada, da qui viene trasportato nel vicino ospedale da campo, dove morirà il 14 luglio 1943. Dapprima viene sepolto in un cimitero provvisorio, poi la sua salma viene riesumata e quindi trasferita nel 1961 nel cimitero militare germanico di Motta Sant'Anastasia mentre è ancora in costruzione, adesso è li che Luz Long riposa: cripta 2 “Caltanissetta”, piastra E, il suo nome inciso sulla lastra di ardesia preceduto dal grado “Obergefreiter-dR" (Appuntato della Riserva), seguito dalle date di nascita 27 IV 13 e di morte 14 VII 43; è quanto resta di Luz Long, uno dei 4.561 soldati tedeschi morti in Sicilia durante la Seconda Guerra Mondiale e qui sepolti. Nell'ultima lettera all'amico Owens, Luz immaginando che il suo destino a presto si sarebbe compiuto, gli chiede di andare, a guerra finita, da suo figlio e dirgli chi è stato suo padre; l'amico Jesse farà quanto richiesto, anzi, andrà persino alle nozze di suo figlio.
Ed Owens che fine ha fatto….? … Jesse rientrato in patria non riceve dal suo Paese il rispetto che merita dopo aver vinto ben 4 medaglie d'oro (!), sono i tempi in cui le persone di colore vengono considerate dai bianchi di “serie B” (!); addirittura, sebbene con un solo cenno, il Führer saluterà Owens dopo le sue vittorie (lo dichiara lo stesso Owens), mentre il presidente americano Franklin Delano Roosvelt mostra un comportamento inqualificabile, non si degna di accoglierlo alla Casa Bianca, lui che è il vincitore olimpico, come invece prevede la tradizione (!). Tornato negli Stati Uniti, Jesse deve adattarsi a fare i lavori più umili e disparati, fa anche il garzone in una pompa di benzina. Per guadagnarsi da vivere gareggia contro cavalli, cani e motociclette, come fenomeno da baraccone; passeranno molti anni prima che gli venga riconosciuto il suo reale valore; egli ebbe a dire parlando di Luz Long «si potrebbero fondere tutte le medaglie che ho vinto, ma non si potrebbe mai riprodurre l’ amicizia a 24 carati che nacque sulla pedana di Berlino».
Post Scriptum:
Long non condivideva gli obiettivi e l'ideologia nazisti, lui era in completa antitesi con esse, essendo dotato di grande sensibilità e profonda nobiltà d’animo, lui era lontanissimo dal credo fanatico e crudele della Germania di Hitler, lo dimostrano le parole che egli scrisse nel 1932 in una lettera inviata a sua nonna: “tutte le nazioni del mondo hanno i propri eroi, i semiti così come gli ariani. Ognuna di loro dovrebbe abbandonare l’arroganza di sentirsi una razza superiore".
Sulla sua lapide (così come su altre), al di sotto della quale riposano i suoi resti chiusi dentro una cassetta, accanto al suo nome è posta oggi qualche piccola pietra, sono dei piccoli simboli, che ricordano l’usanza ebraica di lasciare, al posto dei fiori, un ciottolo sulle tombe dei defunti, per dimostrare che la sua storia non è stata dimenticata, è un messaggio di pace e di fratellanza del quale Luz è stato promotore in vita, il suo pensiero ci giunge anche attraverso il suo luogo di sepoltura, perché, come riporta la targa posta all’entrata del cimitero militare germanico di Motta Sant’Anastasia “i sepolcri dei caduti sono i grandi predicatori della pace” (Albert Schweitzer, premio Nobel per la pace).

Four Photos Same Shot, one of Moira's friends and an Ex colleague at the farm during lambing.
This was the finished Black & White shot with some careful softening of her complexion while maintaining sharpness in her eyes clothes hair and the lambs but mostly the eyes.
To be honest a lot of careful editing of what was a near perfect photo of her, there is an element of highlighting and it shows on her forehead and I can't fully damp it down in editing without spoiling the rest of the photo. Though the Black & White doesn't emphasize this quite as much as the full colour version.
On a serene Friday evening with not much happening in the real world, I decided to immerse myself in Second Life for some fashion-forward exploration. White often poses a challenge for me in photos, tending to blend a bit too much with my complexion. Yet, the latest outfit from Hilly Haalan was a splendid exception. This chic pant suit, tailored to accentuate my curves precisely, delivered a look that was both enticing and elegantly sophisticated. The fabric's graceful flow and the outfit's thoughtful design transformed it from mere attire into a bold fashion statement.
I decided to pair it with my favorite piece from Kunglers and this elegant cuff set from Yummy because there is no greater crime than failing to accessorize.
What's worse is that I was all dolled up with no place to go. Fortunately, a friend recommended a house music venue called After-Taste Spa. The place exudes chic sophistication, and the vibe shifts depending on the time you visit. Its decor brings to mind the stylish venues I've experienced in Miami, adorned with tropical foliage, brass accents, and eclectic pieces. The residents tend toward the naughtier side, so be forewarned—it's a space where private chats blend with spicy areas for random encounters. While that's not my usual scene, I found the people-watching absolutely enthralling.

Hace aproximadamente mes y medio, una señora (de complexión obesa) quiso bajarse del 448.028 en una estación cuando este había iniciado la marcha. Calculó mal, y en vez de bajar al andén, quedó atrapada entre el tren y el andén. Un viajero que se dió cuenta tiró del freno de emergencia, pero ya fue demasiado tarde. El único tren de media distancia con puertas manuales y cafetería, nos dice adiós de esta forma tan macabra.
Shall I compare thee to a summer’s day?
Thou art more lovely and more temperate.
Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May,
And summer’s lease hath all too short a date.
Sometime too hot the eye of heaven shines,
And often is his gold complexion dimmed;
And every fair from fair sometime declines,
By chance, or nature’s changing course, untrimmed;
But thy eternal summer shall not fade,
Nor lose possession of that fair thou ow’st,
Nor shall death brag thou wand’rest in his shade,
When in eternal lines to Time thou grow’st.
So long as men can breathe, or eyes can see,
So long lives this, and this gives life to thee.
William Shakespeare ( 1564 - 1616), Sonnet XVIII

Its worth a life time Experience to be part of Flower petals Holi at this Temple in Vrindavan.
Holi, the Festival of Colours has been celebrated in India since thousands of years and is now also celebrated by various communities of South Asia including non-Hindu communities.
While Holi is celebrated in almost every part of India, Holi in Braj is especially famous. Braj is a historical region which covers the area of Mathura, Vrindavan,Barsana,Nandgaon and some nearby areas. Holi here attacts tourists and pilgrims from all over the world because of it’s special customs and traditions. Mathura is the birth-place of Lord Krishna and Vrindavan is the place where he grew up in his childhood.
When Krishna was young, he cribbed to his mother about Radha (his friend) being fair while Krishna himself was dark complexioned. His mother (Yashoda) suggested him to colour Radha with colors in a playful manner. Over the years, Krishna from his village Nandgaon used to go to Barsana (Radha’s village) to color Radha and other Gopis. They also used to playfully beat him with sticks. And hence the tradition evolved.
G'day everyone! As I've studied and been more educated about Interior Design, I've come to understand and learn about what the main focus and strategy is,
behind Interior Design, or Architecture alone. Nature is very important,
it enhances the chemical of where the structure stands, you have to respect natures well being to then accomplish and create a building on mothers land. Once you've accomplished then you will be able to understand it's stance.
Interior Design is mostly inspired by Fashion, the skin complexion of the models
which stand upright, within the landscape, the two define each other and create a
storyline somehow, and usually the Designer will influence the Internals by bringing in the depths of the 'exterior'
such as landscape, but Fashion also allows an Interior Designer to grasp a space, like additional emotions, setting a mood for instincts.
A mid-dry grounds, with weeds of thorn bushes, and long grass, climbing up through the sand dunes, as the wind blows out, swooping down over the rocks,
and the distant town calling out, the red rock, the white sand, the crisp fresh, dry,
sounds of a nature taking its toll. The models stand free, with the wind relapsing itself, through
their hair, clothing with no branding or tagging, to be detached from the day to day routine, and to just connect with the mother nature.
The exterior of the structure was designed by myself, but with the help of a dear man, Thomaz Mulloy,
he was able to transform, the structure and make it into a high definition build with nice quality textures. The build wasn't inspired by anyone but nature,
it's wind protected, meaning the build stands tall at 8 meters high, it's shaped like an 'A' being a windbreaker at the front, protecting the front and back from
strong wind storms, but on peaceful days it looks rather beautiful, with its mighty strength standing but a simple structure to not blind and distract its purpose of being there.
As for the Interior of the space, I've really wanted to respect the exterior landscape by incorporating the Interior colour pallet to be flush, in materials, textures and of course the colour range that I have chosen. Warm soft off-whites,
with rusty worn leather accents, a minimal pattern with tribal print work. The structure is bare to a minimum with wooden features to nitpick from the exterior, to flow into the interior, with the pine and oak trimmings. Minimal greenery but gives the interior some life.

This is something that I didn't expect to see. Actually I initially reported this on eBird as an Eastern Meadowlark. When I first saw it in the park I wondered about its pale complexion compared to what we usually see here; at that time I thought it might just be the usual variation. Then a day later eBird moderator for the park informed me that the experts concurred it to be a Western Meadowlark; pale coloration, and yellow extending to the cheek are two distinguishing features of a Western. With a scientific name like Sturnella neglecta, no wonder I neglected this possibility the first time I saw it. Apparently this is the first one for the park - so great to be part of this uncommon sighting. It was seen through out the day and thus I was not the only one seen and photographed it. It was a nice life bird for me. Colonel Sam Smith Park, Toronto.

Diwali, the festival of lights, is celebrated across the country with a lot of fervour. According to the beliefs in Hinduism, it marks the day that Lord Rama — an incarnation of Lord Vishnu — had returned to his kingdom Ayodhya as the rightful heir to the throne, after spending 14 years in exile.
To mark his homecoming, the residents of Ayodhya had lighted diyas on a new moon night, and the light emanating from them had illuminated the streets and the entire kingdom.
The goddess is often seen with rage in her eyes and her tongue sticking out. She is darker in complexion and is depicted wearing a garland made of skulls or severed heads. It is said that Goddess Kali is a symbol of vengeance and annihilation of evil. In a fit of rage, Durga had assumed this avatar, slaying demons and other beings whom she deemed ‘evil’, wearing their severed heads to drive fear in the hearts of others.
In our tradition all walks of people enjoy visiting different pandals to worship and pay tribute to the goddess Kali.
On a serene Friday evening with not much happening in the real world, I decided to immerse myself in Second Life for some fashion-forward exploration. White often poses a challenge for me in photos, tending to blend a bit too much with my complexion. Yet, the latest outfit from Hilly Haalan was a splendid exception. This chic pant suit, tailored to accentuate my curves precisely, delivered a look that was both enticing and elegantly sophisticated. The fabric's graceful flow and the outfit's thoughtful design transformed it from mere attire into a bold fashion statement.
I decided to pair it with my favorite piece from Kunglers and this elegant cuff set from Yummy because there is no greater crime than failing to accessorize.
What's worse is that I was all dolled up with no place to go. Fortunately, a friend recommended a house music venue called After-Taste Spa. The place exudes chic sophistication, and the vibe shifts depending on the time you visit. Its decor brings to mind the stylish venues I've experienced in Miami, adorned with tropical foliage, brass accents, and eclectic pieces. The residents tend toward the naughtier side, so be forewarned—it's a space where private chats blend with spicy areas for random encounters. While that's not my usual scene, I found the people-watching absolutely enthralling.

U2 — City of blinding lights ♫ www.youtube.com/watch?v=8xQOb51qZ-c
The more you see, the less you know
The less you find out as you go
I knew much more then
Than I do now
Neon-heart, day-glow eyes
A city lit by fireflies
They're advertising in the skies
For people like us
And I miss you when you're not around
I'm getting ready to leave the ground
Oh, you look so beautiful tonight
In the city of blinding lights
Don't look before you laugh
Look ugly in a photograph
Flash bulbs, purple irises
The camera can't see
I've seen you walk unafraid
I've seen you in the clothes you made
Can you see the beauty inside of me?
What happened to the beauty I had inside of me?
And I miss you when you're not around
I'm getting ready to leave the ground
Oh, you look so beautiful tonight
In the city of blinding lights
Time, time, time, time, time
Won't leave me as I am
But time won't take the boy out of this man
Oh, you look so beautiful tonight
Oh, you look so beautiful tonight
Oh, you look so beautiful tonight
In the city of blinding lights
The more you know, the less you feel
Some pray for, others steal
Blessings are not just for the ones who kneel
Luckily.

A Pacific Northwest sunset reflected at low tide on Olympic National Park's Ruby Beach in Washington. The late afternoon initially did not look promising, photographically speaking; heavy gray clouds blanketed the western sky and I thought briefly about heading elsewhere. But patience often pays dividends, and as luck would have it, just before sunset, things took on a different complexion...so to speak. I'm glad I hung around and was treated to this incredible vista - shared only with a few gulls!

Andrea Previtali, known as Cordeliaghi (Brembate, about 1480 - Bergamo, 1528) - portrait of a man (c. 1502) - tempera on canvas 23.8 x 18 cm- Museo Poldi Pezzoli, Milan
Questa preziosa opera è uno degli esempi più alti dell’abilità ritrattistica di Andrea Previtali, soprannominato Cordeliaghi perché figlio di un commerciante di corde e aghi. Nato vicino a Bergamo, si era formato a Venezia nella bottega di Giovanni Bellini, come è confermato dalla firma in latino sul retro del dipinto: "Andreas Cordelle Agi Discipulus Iohannis Bellini Pinxit". Questa piccola tavola è databile intorno al 1502, agli anni giovanili del pittore fortemente influenzati dallo stile del maestro. Sebbene l’identità del personaggio sia sconosciuta, il tipo d’acconciatura e il copricapo fanno supporre che l’uomo fosse veneziano. Il colore acceso dello sfondo e la massa scura dei capelli e del berretto mettono in risalto, per contrasto, le delicate sfumature dell’incarnato del volto. L’opera, acquistata nel 1882 da Giuseppe Bertini, il primo direttore del Museo Poldi Pezzoli, è uno dei ritratti più amati del Museo.
This precious work is one of the highest examples of the portraiture skills of Andrea Previtali, nicknamed Cordeliaghi because he was the son of a trader of ropes and needles. Born near Bergamo, he was trained in Venice in the workshop of Giovanni Bellini, as is confirmed by the signature in Latin on the back of the painting: "Andreas Cordelle Agi Discipulus Iohannis Bellini Pinxit". This small panel is datable to around 1502, to the painter's youthful years strongly influenced by the master's style. Although the identity of the character is unknown, the type of hairstyle and the headdress suggest that the man was Venetian. The bright color of the background and the dark mass of the hair and cap bring out, by contrast, the delicate shades of the complexion of the face. The work, purchased in 1882 by Giuseppe Bertini, the first director of the Poldi Pezzoli Museum, is one of the Museum's most beloved portraits.
I find this breed of duck fascinating. I suppose their ruddy face is somehow attractive to the opposite sex. I try to understand what purpose their oddly wattled complexion might have. I have no answers.
Hello everyone!
With a new decade, a nice new office, what better than to have a revamp of my Second Life home, which if you hadn't seen before, was a small miniature house in the Victorian desert. I love freedom of nature. I'm not fond of the city hustle & bustle, so to adventure and to hike the sensational views, one must fly rural and remote to the outer inland parts of the 'world.' (hehe) My new home is a little larger than the last one I lived in, which surprisingly a lot of you guys liked it a lot and I've been thinking about selling the floor-plan of the home for limited edition, perhaps only 5 copies of it.
If you're a new follower, first of all thanks for following me! You might not have seen my old home, so here is a link to the album; www.flickr.com/photos/jackhanby_grandeurdecorsl/albums/72...
For this home, the colour palate still remains the same, really extracting the complexions of mother nature, and corresponding it with the accented interior highlights throughout. I wanted to play a huge factor on the natural light, with minimal artificial lights throughout. Minimal furnishings and hardware architectural components. Deserts are very beautiful, whilst some might say bland, so I wanted to make sure the modern home itself stood out but in a way which it didn't interfere with the composition it was in, so I've reduced the architectural additions to the home, keeping it simple and living within one's means. This new home is very mature from my previous and more like an art installation within the premises.

In Lisbon, where the intrigue unfolds, this scene appears remarkably like a vignette from the Casablanca film. A bigger mystery is how he is able to maintain a monochrome complexion against a decidedly colorful ambience.

Hi, my name is Arwa.
I’ve always been interested in expressive art. Growing up as a minority, I’ve come to find out that I stand out a little more than the average person; odd sounding name, slightly darker complexion, different native tongue and culture. All of that gave a statement before I even spoke. My being itself, is an expression. Now that I appreciate my uniqueness, I want to use it to portray my ideas. I’m very into sustainable and modest fashion, but there is only so much I can wear myself, so I decided to start putting my ideas on my friends.
I hope to use multiple mediums to express my work and collaborate with as many local creatives as possible.

Dear Diary:
It has been a while since I had the chance, or the inclination, to write. Centuries, in fact, as it has turned out.
In the aftermath of Miss Frost’s murder I was hesitant to commit anything to writing, for fear of implicating myself and the other ladies of the town who sought retribution against her killers. That episode ended in the most Pyrrhic victory, since, I suppose,
Pyrrhus’s:
The Governor, Miss Frost’s treacherous brother, and their henchmen surely died in the explosion which destroyed the Dysart hotel, rather spectacularly.
In the immediate aftermath of the secondary explosion, from the gas mains, I was later told, something else happened, something quite disorienting: a swirl of some strange energy and a shock the likes of which I had never experienced. I lost consciousness for a brief moment.
When I awoke, I – and my companions – were no longer on New Victoria Street. Rather, we were on some sort of platform, surrounded by immense structures of metal and glass. People- both men and women – in a sort of white uniform ran toward us, but before I could recoil in fear they announced themselves as first aid workers of a sort. When even Miss Dagger relaxed back onto the ground, I had to conclude that whatever had happened, we were in safe hands for the moment.
One of the people, a young man with a most handsome complexion and extraordinarily white, even teeth helped me to my feet – well, between the two of us, Diary, essentially carried me into one of the buildings. The others seemed steadier on their feet – but they had the steel to commit murder (however necessary), while I simply stood by and fretted. Clearly I was made of less stern stuff.
Inside, each of us was escorted off for a medical inspection of sorts. There was much reading off of sheets of glass and waving of strange objects. Amusingly, it felt like some sort of barbarian tribal ritual, but clearly their machinery was advanced beyond the imagination of even Mr. Verne- but that thought led me to a short story I had read by a Mr. Wells, (who was later revealed to be a woman, writing under her brother’s name, but I digress) of travel in time, and some understanding of what had happened to me began to form. Ironically, that would make us the primitives here!
A very stern woman in the same white uniform proceeded to lecture me, reading off another one of those panes of glass, about my utterly unacceptable physical condition. Apparently I was so weak she couldn’t understand how I was able to move under my own power (I do suspect a bit of hyperbole there for effect), and that my lungs looked like the inside of a coal mine. That I was ready to believe, but that was only the beginning of a long and vituperative lecture on the dangers of tobacco, which did quite impress me with its graphic horror.
The woman – a doctor, it turned out! – did explain that we had passed through a “rift,” and were in the future, but not necessarily the future attached to our past, as it were. I did not parse the details very well, still being stuck on “esophageal cancer” and “emphysema.”
She explained that we would receive instruction directly into our minds (no panes of glass!) that would cover the history and culture of our new world, and that we would be assigned someone local to help us in our adjustment.
She did something to a string of tubes, and I promptly fell asleep. My dreams were of all sorts of things: the history, politics, and manners of my new world. The rights and freedoms given to women were quite extraordinary, as was the culture’s lack of taboos around matters of the body.
Thankfully, the Church of the Elder Gods was to be found here as well, but as one of many equal faiths. And women could be found in all ranks of its administration!
While my dreams disgracefully lacked a thorough exploration of the time’s fashions, much could be inferred – and even in my dreams, I could hardly wait to go explore the world’s shops and magazines (more panes of glass, as I correctly supposed).
Upon awakening, the most extraordinarily beautiful woman I had ever seen was to be found at the foot of my bed, reading off, yes, of course, a pane of glass. She set it down and came over to take my hand. She had masses of pale lavender hair, perfect light mocha skin, and glowing violet eyes that seemed to be some distant descendant of the mechanical eyes some Army veterans wore to replace those lost in combat.
“Welcome to the future. I’m Cydonia Wren, and I think we are going to be great friends!”

El monumento al Marqués es obra del escultor Mariano Benlliure,, está diseñado en bronce y se asienta sobre un pedestal de mármol.
La estatua está flanqueada por dos figuras. Un hombre que sostiene un pico y un azadón, que representa el trabajo, y una mujer que presenta en ofrenda a un niño, que representa la caridad.
La alegoría del Trabajo, un bronce, encarna la fortaleza viril. Un joven de complexión atlética aparece en actitud de marcha, con pico y azadón sobre el hombro derecho y coronado con hojas de vid en alusión a los frutos de la tierra.
Para la figura del joven posó como modelo el torero Luis Mazzantini.
La estatua del Marqués de Larios fue derribada por la multitud en 1931 con motivo de la proclamación de la II República Española. Entonces fue arrastrada por la ciudad y arrojada a las aguas del Puerto de Málaga. Sobre el basamento se situó al obrero de la alegoría del Trabajo.
Una vez finalizada la Guerra Civil española, la estatua fue rescatada del fondo del mar y colocada de nuevo en su lugar original.
