Created for Saturday Self-Challenge ~ Your interpretation of Nature
With this challenge, I was finally able to pay a tribute to Kataza, a young adult baboon, who was at the centre of a controversial argument between those of us who love to have these wild animals roaming free in our area, and so called "Wildlife Officials" who continue to mess around with Nature. Kataza was removed from his troop in the hills in my picture, and "planted" him in a troop much closer to Cape Town. There was an outcry as this poor young guy struggled to be accepted by the troops in the new area, and it was only when it appeared that he was about to be killed by the new troop that he was moved back to his existing family.
That wasn't good enough for the "officials", however, and our celebrations were cut short about two weeks later, when "they" decided to move him to a wildlife sanctuary, some 2000 km to the north. We are told that he has finally settled down after months of torment, but I can only imagine him sitting in the hot bushveld, and dreaming of the days when he was free to roam the windswept hills of the southern Cape Peninsula.
I took the picture of the hills this morning, and added a painterly texture in Photoshop, and then added my picture of Kataza, taken just before he was taken away.

Medieval reds ... !!*

An AI image about a historical group of warriors ☺☺!
They were medieval warriors from Wales, who were dressed in red :-)
According to the stories, they had a shoe on one foot and a bare foot for better balance on slopes and in rough terrain :-)

When we understand that man is the only animal who must create meaning, who must open a wedge into neutral nature, we already understand the essence of love. Love is the problem of an animal who must find life, create a dialogue with nature in order to experience his own being.

Created for "The Award Tree" group's challenge "Music Works".

Beethoven't ninth and final symphony is one of the greatest pieces of Western music in all of history. The composition and concept behind it is beyond "Olympian", as it has often been described. Certainly it is one of the most powerful, hair-raising and rapture inducing musical pieces I have ever encountered. If you have the chance to see it performed live with a full symphony orchestra and large choir, I HIGHLY recommend it. Doing so years ago left me utterly speechless.
I chose to do this for the contest because the opening lines of the Choral, the final moment, "O Freunde, nicht diese Töne !"
( Oh friends, not these sounds ! ) came to mind when looking at Classical paintings of battles. Then when I saw the portrait of Beethoven himself the whole project crystallized. The title is a call to end all wars and to bring about the unity of the human race - beyond nations - "Alle menschen werden bruder". This is hardly a call without relevance today.
I used images from a free download site.

Music Link: "Ninth Symphony - Chorale" Opus 125 ( 1822-24 ) - Ludwig van Beethoven. Conducted in this video by Leonard Bernstein at a 1989 performance in Berlin to celebrate the removal of the Berlin Wall. Each conductor brings their own interpretation to the podium and thankfully Bernstein had the great sensitivity NOT to rush this symphony as so many others have done. The opening movement requires a stately grandeur to it that's best brought out by letting those gargantuan opening chord sequences in D Minor breathe and expand in consciousness to their fullest extant before careening ahead to the next ones. There are newer and sharper videos but Bernstein's nailed it for me for his impeccable and passionate interpretation.
