DESASTRES is an experimental noise project that synchronises sound with image. The work takes the form of a durational solo performance as installation. Marco Fusinato will be performing during the opening hours of the Biennale – a total of two hundred days. Fusinato will perform live in the Pavilion using an electric guitar as a signal generator into mass amplification to improvise slabs of noise, saturated feedback, and discordant intensities that trigger a deluge of images onto a freestanding floor-to-ceiling LED wall. The images are sourced via a stream of words that have been put into an open search across multiple online platforms. The mass indexing is a mess – a morass of disparate and disconnected randomly generated images.
Another Irish sociological study... It was not uncommon just a few years ago to find two disparate businesses operated by a single owner under the same roof. You could find hardware stores, or groceries and pubs sharing floorspace, This one is hanging on in Westport, Co. Mayo - a funeral home with a sideline selling grave decor, and...offering a taxi service. There was a sign incorporating both businesses over the doorway but that has recently been removed. I assume the taxi service does not involve the use of a hearse, though coming out of a pub blind drunk and finding one waiting would be cause to reconsider one's alcohol intake.
Maybe it was the aroma of marijuana, maybe it was the randomly sized and very disparate game pieces around the Municipal Services Building Plaza, maybe it was the humid warmth of the summer evening...whatever it was, this was a surreal vision of Center City Philadelphia.
Maldives is a country of South Asia, situated in the Indian Ocean, south-southwest of India. It consists of approximately 1,190 coral islands grouped in a double chain of 26 atolls, spread over roughly 90,000 square kilometers, making this one of the most disparate countries in the world

Detail from the work "Secondary Forest" by artist Giulia Cenci on the High Line
Cast Aluminum
From the High Line's website:
Giulia Cenci creates elaborate sculptures and installations by fusing industrial elements and organic forms, arranging them into jarring compositions that invite viewers to question human’s relationship with nature. Cenci’s work features animals, plants, and human appendages cast from melted-down scrap metal, reusing found objects, agricultural tools, old machinery, and car parts. These seemingly disparate elements are then hung, suspended, or pierced together like pieces of meat, morphing into a wild habitat void of hierarchy—where a human bone is treated with the same care as the branch of a tree or a wolf’s face.
This random scene is, for me, less chaotic than it first appears. In fact one couldn't have staged it any better than it staged itself.
One frequently sees business buildings of this ilk in rural areas but it is not apparent what their business might be. This building is surrounded by disparate junk.
There are no words
that can add a measure of praise
to this already sacred moment
Present in the here and now
Disparate though we are
in this state of flesh
We are one in spirit
and recognise this in moments of clarity
Blessed
differences are the spice of life. how boring we would be if we didn't have each other...to bring out our shine!

I cannot always ‘Thank’ everyone individually, for their Visits and ‘Faves’ however, I will always try to respond and thank all those that leave a ‘Comment’. If I do not reply to your 'Comment', it is not because I am ignoring you, it's because I have not seen the 'Comment'.
Your 'Comments' do not always appear in 'Notifications' or Flickr mail, so, I am sorry for any delay in responding. Often your 'Comment' is only spotted 'On the Page' on the day, that I see it. (seen ONLY when replying to someone HAS 'Commented' on the image, and I see a notification)

The Hawfinch has been Red-listed in the UK since 2009 because of recent breeding decline. Its breeding range is restricted to disparate sites, mostly in England and Wales. The species' winter range is bigger, with individuals found in northern Scotland and Ireland.
Generally nesting in mature woodland in the UK, the flocking instinct of the Hawfinch is often observed where they feed and during winter roosts (if you are lucky enough to see a Hawfinch then there is probably at least one other nearby). In winter, Hawfinch numbers are increased by influxes from northern Europe, which are bigger in some years than in others. (BTO).
My thanks to anyone who clicks or comments on this photo. It is much appreciated.

Myths and stories about fairies do not have a single origin but are rather a collection of folk beliefs from disparate sources. Various folk theories about the origins of fairies include casting them as either demoted angels or demons in a Christian tradition, as deities in Pagan belief systems, as spirits of the dead, as prehistoric precursors to humans, or as spirits of nature.
The English fairy derives from the Early Modern English faerie, meaning 'realm of the fays'. Faerie, in turn, derives from the Old French form faierie, a derivation from faie (from Vulgar Latin fata, 'the fates').
In Old French romance, a faie or fee was a woman skilled in magic, and who knew the power and virtue of words, of stones, and of herbs.

Fern Macro. Fern Kiss. Yin and Yang.
The Field Notebook say: Few living things unfold into existence with the elegance and grace of the fern. It may just be that practice makes perfect, since ferns have been unfurling themselves in spring for hundreds of millions of years.
The fern is known as the koru to the indigenous peoples of New Zealand, the Maori. The koru is often represented as a spiral in Maori artwork, symbolizing opening to new life and bringing purity to the world. It represents peace, tranquility and spirituality along with new growth or new beginnings. The Koru is also associated with nurturing and when it contains more than one frond, it represents the strength and healing of a loving relationship within family or community. The design in the shape of two unfolding fern fronds symbolizes the bonding of disparate kinds of people, with two opposite but complementary life forces, echoing the familiar Tao symbol, the Yin and Yang. As each frond unfolds to leave the circle, it reaches out for a new life, new growth and so represents the cycle of life and the interdependency of the web of life.

So if you look at my previous upload, you can see how disparate the shoot was as the sky went from flat nothingness to this light show. It only lasted 10 minutes but that was enough to get this and a long exposure that I'll post at a later date.
BTW, just noticed the exif data for this shot and obviously it's wrong. I did a bit of a blend with the long exposure that I took just after this to get a slightly smoother water but as you'll see when I post that, it is literally faint overlay.
Was also opened at night, get ready Cayenne

夜も明けた、開演の支度イソゲヨ
夜は明けて、太陽はすでに登りつつあるのに、、その太陽を東の雲が覆い、なかなか陽射しが差し込んでこない。
ひまわり祭り会場のひまわりも、射し込んでこない太陽に、今一歩気乗りしないのかなんだかばらばらな方向向いていたり眠たげだったり。
でも雲間の空を朝食探しに鳥が渡り、確かに一日は始まっている。
さあ、さあ、今日もひまわり劇場が開演するんだ、支度支度。
そんなひそひそ話が聞こえてきそうなシーン。

The Angolan Pavilion for the 56th Biennale di Venezia is titled “On Ways of Travelling,” yet the exhibition more accurately invokes some of the barriers to the freedom of movement that are experienced by many in Angola, and elsewhere in Africa – visas, economic hardship, borders and road traffic. Yet “travel,” in this context, is not only meant to signify physical movement; it also refers to the meeting of disparate worldviews, lifestyles and temporalities, as well as to states of dreaming, desire and longing for change. The subject is nowhere more relevant than the present context in La Biennale di Venezia, an essential destination for international art tourism and an early precedent for the phenomenon of the ‘global exhibition’ of contemporary art.

Unionnale
Sponsored by TD
As part of ArtworxTO
You say ale, we say alley. Unionnale was designed as a special art “alley” that captures colour and artworks inspired by all the neighbourhoods of Toronto. The space presents visual storytelling and artistry through a fun and creative artistic installation in the heart of the station. As part of Union’s continuing contemporary programming and ArtworxTO’s public art initiative, the art selection in Unionnale will rotate every two years, with artists chosen through a juried selection process.
Presenting Flux by Esmond Lee
Flux examines the relationships between everyday moments, spaces, and materials found within Toronto and beyond to reveal a fantastical, yet familiar world. From quiet industrial sites to bustling streetscapes, the qualities of urban, suburban, and rural spaces are blended together to reveal their hidden connectedness. Cultures and norms conventionally understood as fixed to specific locations are untethered to form new, imaginative landscapes free from the boundaries of time and space. The photo-collages of various shapes and sizes invite viewers to experience both the many details and the whole together, without using any particular framing or perspectives. Viewers are encouraged to experience these artworks from any spot and viewing angle: roam slowly to see the various parts, pause to examine particular details, or stand back to see the work in its entirety. Places conventionally understood as fragments can now be understood through their commonalities, negotiations, and entanglements, asking: how do seemingly far-reaching places operate together on a continuum of complex, interwoven landscapes? Flux challenges the very tensions and conflicts produced by political and economic boundaries that divide our landscape – and its people – into abstract, disparate spaces. Whether for leisure, opportunity, or by force: the bodily movement and gesture of people shapes and creates space, just as space shapes and informs the movement of people in a reciprocal, dynamic relationship under continuous flux.

Quibbling about the aesthetics of these used and disparate cabins, aligned all year long on the beach of Calais and Bleriot is understandable and acceptable. But whatever grumpy people think, originality is there and charm too...

Classical Khmer kings of medieval Cambodia promoted the notion of Devarāja, a cult of the "god-king” that provided the religious rationale for royal authority. They were depicted as divine universal rulers or deified monarchs with transcendental qualities.
The gigantic smiling faces at Bayon Temple portray the great Mahayana Buddhist king, Jayavarman VII, as a living god on earth - a Bodhisattva Avalokitesvara or enlightened Buddhist saint overseeing a vast and disparate empire with an enigmatic blend of benevolence and absolute authority.
The temple served as the primary locus of the royal cult and was Jayavarman's personal mausoleum at the height of his rein over the Khmer Empire in the late 12th Century. It is positioned at the centre of the ancient Angkor Thom city complex and rural metropolis in northwestern Cambodia. Over 200 serenely smiling visages carved on more than 50 sandstone face-towers remain throughout the temple.

I'll start by being honest, I'm not sure I like this shot of Howick Scar. I realy like parts of it, such as the rocky shelf on the bottom right and the gold highlights on the other rocks but overall I'm not sure it works, hence the title. Your feedback is as always welcolme,
Reflection Title: Lord-Save Me
Date: Tuesday, August 3, 2021, 18th Week in Ordinary Time
Readings: NB 12:1-13, Matt 22:22-36
Sometimes, in our ministries, we concern ourselves with others. As our first reading teaches us…maybe we go to far. Mariam and Aaron are very close to Moses…maybe they are envious of his closeness to God. Maybe we have found ourselves having similar feelings about someone we know? Maybe, others around us are judging us…small talk as they say.
In our Gospel reading, in the context of our first reading, maybe Jesus is setting boundaries for his disciples. When Jesus is walking towards them on a stormy sea, they are collectively scared. They are on a boat that binds them together, the storms of life are binding them together even more. “Take courage, it is I, do not be afraid.” Jesus tells them.
Oh that Peter makes me smile! He always stands out. He climbs outside the boat…and the other disciples…what must they be thinking? Yet, it is Peter that is practicing his faith. Might those remaining in the boat be saying to themselves: There goes Peter again…what a showboat! He thinks he is better then us or are they so distracted by the chaos around them-they don’t have time to be petty?
As Peter sinks, he states “Lord, Save me.”
Our spiritual walk with God is unique to each of us. We should not be jealous of anyone, even those who may appear to have all the attention from others. May we always default to Peter’s simple and disparate prayer “Lord, Save Me.”

Firstly wish you and your loved ones a very happy and prosperous New Year. Hope the new year will bring us some new resolution from the ongoing pandemic.
We made a small video to wish you all Merry Christmas and Happy New Year and also showing some beautiful natural regions of Switzerland.
Click here to enjoy some minutes in the ambiance of Suisse nature.
This is a picture just before the COVID crisis started in Switzerland. We were completely unaware of the tragic future that time. However, if I look at the image now; it feels like the current situation of mankind.
A massive mountain is stopping our way and the hope is standing like a beacon motivating us to overcome that challenge.
I always wanted to capture such image. But it is not easy now a days. Due to global warming the snow level in Switzerland dropped dramatically. Sure above 800 meters there are still plenty of snow some time. But at the lower altitude snow completely disappeared. In the setup of Sion castle (Majorie Castle) at least there are those large mountains (if I am not mistaking that is Mont Gond) in the backdrop to give a snowy background. But as you can see the ground has no snow anymore.
Sion used to get a lots of snow even 5 years back. But sadly; things are changing dramatically.
Now comes some interesting fact about this image. I searched this place after a lots of research in google map. I rented that incredible 300 F 2.8 II lens from the photo club for that day along with the 100 400. I have never seen sharper lens than this 300 MM. I do have very good canon L glasses; but this is a completely different level. Anyway; when we reached there we found that there are some construction happening and that place is locked off. Sad and disparate situation. There was absolutely no reason of locking down the place. No idea why they did that. So; we did a bit of cowboy and crossed the gate and went inside.
We were a bit worried. In Switzerland there are cameras everywhere. But we went in pretty late just before the start of blue hour. It was dark enough. We quickly setup the tripod and grabbed couple of compositions. Lovely natural setup. The Suisse kings knew there natural placement of castles. What is backdrop.
Stay safe, comply with the authority strictly, stay at home, stop the chain of the virus.
Take care and help the society to recover from the crisis.
Please have a look at my website www.avisekhphotography.com for all my recent works.
Have a nice weekend.
Hope you will enjoy the picture.
Any suggestions or criticisms are always welcome.
This digital blend of Southwark Bridge at dusk was one I'd been planning for several months, but it was a trial of patience while I waited for the right weather conditions. I needed a clear sky and low wind speed for the scene I had in mind, but also a very low tide along the Thames to coincide with the sunset, and it wasn't until an evening in mid-September -- on one of the hottest days of the year for the UK -- that all of these elements combined.
Although a few photographers were visiting the same location to take advantage of the low sunset tide, most were shooting in the opposite direction, where Ik-Joong Kang's cube-shaped art installation "Floating Dreams" was spending its final few days moored beneath the Millennium Bridge. This gave me the opportunity to experiment with several compositions without getting in anyone's way, and before long I'd found a portion of the old embankment structure protruding out of the water which I felt created a nice sense of direction towards Southwark Bridge and the Shard in the distance. I was drawn to this scene because of its combination of textures and disparate high- and low-tech elements: there was a smooth, clean vibrance to the sky and the water, and the bright and intricate lights and colours in the buildings leading up to the towering might of the Shard, but also a gritty, desolate detail along the shore, where the traces of the old embankment hinted at a long-forgotten era.
The glow of the sunset against the bridge and the buildings was captured using three- and four-minute exposures, with a six-minute exposure providing a smooth and moody finish for the sky and the river, and nine- and 12-minute exposures capturing the city lights and beautiful dusk tones. Using the Pen Tool in Photoshop, I isolated the sky, the river, the buildings and the shore, and then gradually blended portions of these exposures into the final image using a combination of Lighten, Soft Light and Screen blend modes, as well as linear gradient masks to blend in the darker exposures in order to add some of the evening tones into the sky and to darken the shore, which I thought would help to guide the eye towards the centre of the frame.
Once the image had been colour-graded, I dipped into Colour Efex Pro to apply a sparing amount of Pro Contrast and Detail Extractor for the buildings and the shore, and finally Silver Efex Pro, where I selectively reduced the midtone structure within the sky and the river, as well as gently increasing their highlights, which seemed to enhance the ethereal mood of the image. The end result hopefully captures the beauty of the view along the Thames riverside during its transition from sunset to dusk and early evening, but at the same time my aim with this image was to capture a perspective that hadn't been seen before, and to explore some of the scene's subtler details.

A busy shot I know, with a great many disparate elements, but I'm very satisfied with it. The flames, the reflections of the other pedestrian, the Mercedes, the buildings. Not a lot stands out in isolation, but her leg nicely completes an X of leading lines. And the eye contact is a big bonus.
There's something very defeating about abandonments with mowed lawns. It's a visual oxymoron that I see all too often in rural areas. A house that hasn't been lived in for decades surrounded by a well-manicured lawn. Very difficult to rationalize these disparate themes through photography. Still the stories must be told before the old houses implode or are razed. I often use the change of seasons to help disguise clues of upkeep. Here the fallen leaves conceal the lawn. Combined with the tangle or bare tree limbs, the visual effect is one of melancholic disharmony. It's oppressive, but that's exactly why I visit places like this. I don't want to merely be a spectator, I want to feel immersed. To feel whatever energy these places exude, dark or otherwise. This particular place isn't scary so much as sad. Not sure if I'm picking up on past sadness, or the future sadness I'm going to experience once it's gone. I get very personally invested in abandonments and it's inexplicably jarring when they ultimately get torn down. Part of that is the feeling of unfinished business. Or of thinking I could have done more to tell the story. Nothing to be done about it really. So I just return every few months and the cycle repeats itself.
The black-bellied whistling duck (Dendrocygna autumnalis), formerly also called black-bellied tree duck, is a whistling duck that breeds from the southernmost United States and tropical Central to south-central South America. In the USA, it can be found year-round in parts of southeast Texas, and seasonally in southeast Arizona, and Louisiana's Gulf Coast. It is a rare breeder in such disparate locations as Arkansas, Georgia, Tennessee, and South Carolina, though it is now a common breeder in parts of central Florida. There is a large population of several hundred that winter each year in Audubon Park in uptown New Orleans, Louisiana. Since it is one of only two whistling-duck species native to North America, it is occasionally just known as the "whistling duck" in the southern USA.

A capriccio or caprice (sometimes plural: caprices, capri or, in Italian, capricci), is a piece of music, usually fairly free in form and of a lively character. The typical capriccio is one that is fast, intense, and often virtuosic in nature.
The term has been applied in disparate ways, covering works using many different procedures and forms, as well as a wide variety of vocal and instrumental forces. The earliest occurrence of the term was in 1561 by Jacquet de Berchem and applied to a set of madrigals. In the late 16th and early 17th centuries, it could refer to madrigals, music intended alternatively for voices or instruments, or strictly instrumental pieces, especially keyboard compositions.
