I took this from the rooftop of a parking garage in Chinatown. It offered a pretty interesting vantage point with Chinatown in my foreground and Downtown Los Angeles in my background. There was a pretty strong marine layer rolling in which you can see was just starting to surround the buildings. Enjoy!

The talaiots are Bronze Age megaliths on the islands of Mallorca and Menorca (two of the Balearic Islands) forming part of the Talaiotic Culture or Talaiotic Period. They date back to the late second millennium and early first millennium BC. The Talaiot shown in this picture is located in Son Serra (Santa Margalida - Mallorca).

Karneval der Kulturen (KdK 2025)
Berlin presents its most colourful side: At the annual Carnival of Cultures, numerous groups of diverse nationalities present music, dances, performances, visual arts and acrobatics at a parade of moving floats.
Today's art is often meant to be interpreted by the beholder. So what is the message sent by this object: Art in boxes? Boxed in art? Many boxes of art? Art is risking to fall?
Whatever; I like this sculpture!

It's a little known fact that the Shasta people (or Chasta, Shasty or Sasti) were huge Shakespeare fans. So, when the white folk showed up to prospect for gold, the Shasta people saw a great opportunity to siphon off a little gold and established a Shakespeare festival. Well, the festival took off and has became an annual international event.
Everything above is fictitious except the part about the Shakespeare festival being an international event.

I went to visit the Miami Art Museum in my Tory Burch silk flowered dress. It was a weekday so not so crowded. I kind of stayed behind a group tour and when they had servers came out for the group with trays of champagne and cheeses and crackers they thought I was with them and served me too! I was thrilling being in my pretty dress, catching a buzz, and enjoying some yummy tummy food! BEING A GIRL IS THE BEST !
Copenhagen culture night there are loads of things going on. We went with a friend to see the tribal belly dance group she is learning with. All the dances were performed to drums only and it was really powerful
Culture of Adoration, Tim Lowly © 2008, Derwent drawing pencil on acrylic on panel, 60" x 120".
[assistance with this work by Charity Kittler and Katie Cooper]
Chicago writer Karen Halverson-Schreck wrote the following in relation to this work:
rise up children, sing a glorious future
"I stand before Tim Lowly’s triptych, Culture of Adoration, trying to name what I feel.
Vertigo. That’s my sensation, as if the immense bow, the great bowl of the horizon—my perspective—has been gently turned on end, and I am unanchored. Hoping for orientation, I gaze down at the painting’s focus (no traditional vanishing point here), at the kernel of young woman on the bed. To put it bluntly: she is not your typical artist’s model. She is the antithesis of what our culture idealizes, idolizes, adores. Severely disabled, physically vulnerable, yet luminously present, she frustrates my assumptions regarding form and content, my expectations of beauty and meaning. Cipher-like, she seems invulnerable to the laws of logic or aesthetics. Perhaps only some mysterious code of love and devoted, disciplined attention can interpret her secrets.
Attending to her now, I think: oculus, inverted. Most specifically, I recall the Roman Pantheon, that grim and glorious temple—all shadows, but for its great eye, open to the sky. She seems such as this, earthbound.
And look at the others, painted in the gloom behind her, gazing down at her, also seeking light. Young artists, all, although this is not your artist’s typical studio—perfectly composed and illuminated. Instead, Lowly’s is an awkward world, distorted and unpredictable, less than refined, even unfinished; or he represents it as so. Faces and figures move in and out of focus, or are erased altogether, along with awareness and comprehension. And there are odd angles, black voids to fall into.
Rise up children—
I find hope in the intention and focus of these artists, in Lowly’s tender, clumsy testament to their making, in this look we share into the unknown, where a certain absence creates its own presence, and mystery is all the meaning."

A few hooligans showing off their overly-illuminated automobiles outside of Wet Willie's, a public house on River Street's Factors Walk.
"River Street is a commercial street and promenade in Savannah, Georgia, United States. It runs along the southern edge of the Savannah River for 2 miles (3.2 km), from the merging of North and East Lathrop Avenues in the west to East Bay Street in the east. Its most well-known section runs from the Talmadge Memorial Bridge, then below City Hall and Yamacraw Bluff, to its eastern terminus. It is West River Street up to where the Hyatt Regency Savannah spans it. It is here, around 40 feet (12 m) below Bay Street, that it becomes East River Street. The street is one-way (westbound) from Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard.
Today, East River Street consists largely of restaurants, cafés and craft shops, and is one of the city's major tourist attractions. Its half-mile-long pedestrian promenade, the John P. Rousakis Riverfront Plaza, is named for Savannah's longest-serving mayor (1970–1992).
At its downtown stretch, the street's southern side is populated by terraces of former King Cotton warehouses, the industrial rear portions of the more fashionable Bay Street frontages. Factors Row, a bluffside row of red-brick buildings where cotton brokers bargained during the product's heyday, helps preserve this industry in its name. Factors Walk is 'built on the middle level of a sloping bluff with warehouses beneath and Bay Street above.' The warehouses were also used as holding cells for African slaves." (Wikipedia)
