Looking over a vineyard towards an avenue of plane trees (see a previous photo entitled 'Provençal autumn' for a different view of the avenue) with another vineyard beyond that. I went yesterday late afternoon to take this photo and it was just in time as the sun dipped below a hill to the right shortly after I took it.
Sorry I've been a bit 'hit and run' these past few days with Flickr but I've been incredibly busy with this and that.
Somehow I inherited old books from my family of origin. Such as this one, printed in 1900, entitled "The Complete Poems of Sir Thomas More; Collected by Himself with Explanatory Notes". The thin piece of tissue or vellum protects an old photo or lithograph of the man himself.
Do you remember when vintage or antique books were assembled with such care?
Less than 3 inches/ 7.6 cm across.
I posted a picture entitled "Prince of the Forest" and a few of you said well if he was the prince what does the king look like. Here you go. This is a massive grizzly. I think they said he was in his 20's. He was courting the queen of the forest the infamous Grand Teton grizzly 399. Just to be clear as far as I know these two are not related but who really knows.
My local camera club has set members a challenge for this month, entitled 'Bird on a stick'. I managed to snatch this shot, this afternoon, which just about qualifies... but only just.

Elitist or Entitled? which am I? I’m not sure where I fall…Hum let me see what the dictionary says:
Entitled- Definition….believing oneself to be inherently deserving of privileges or special treatment.
"his pompous, entitled attitude"
Elitist- Definition……..demonstrating a superior attitude or behavior associated with an elite.
"some that say he is a spoiled, elitist snob"
Neither sounds like a camp that I’d want to be in.
The motives for withholding locations are far ranging from “save the location”, to “save the animals” to “save the unprepared from themselves” undisclosed locations…….secret places, are we elitists or are we entitled? Those that cherish the outdoors have seen the ramifications of location over saturation, and they “are” concerned. Of course, it’s because these are the most beautiful places on Earth and they would like to see that future generations can enjoy them as well. Doesn’t sound bad to me? The problem than lies within the human spirit, the spirit to set out and seek what’s out there, to see and feel and smell it with our own senses and take in the scene in all it’s natural glory. If your an inhabitant of this planet than it’s you’re right to see it, of course it is!! The real problem is the person that just purchased a camera and has never been outside the city in his or her life, do i want to give out a location that I shot in the backcountry of the Grand Tetons? If I want to eliminate them than Yes, they would be grizzly scat by morning. But If I’m concerned for their safety or the preservation of the location than NO. How am I to decide who gets a location or not, by deciding am I than elitist? Man and his devices have traveled into the far reaches of this galaxy and beyond and found no solid evidence of life, and the fact that we have been on this planet for just the blink of an eye makes me think that this planet is a gift more than it is a privilege.
IMHO, This planet belongs to every human being but it is a gift and not a privilege!!! does that makes me elitist or just concerned? If you have no outdoor experience than please prepare yourself to see it safely and responsibly. :-)

An art installation entitled 'spectra' by Japanese artist Ryoji Ikeda lights up the night sky as part of 'Lights Out', to commemorate the centenary of Britain's involvement in the First World War.
Spectra is a beam of light generated by 49 searchlights installed in a 20-metre grid at Victoria Tower Gardens. On Monday, 4 August, the centenary of the start of the First World War, it appeared at dusk, unnanounced, for Londoners and the South East to see in the skies.

Client shot, entitled "Maggie May" only because it reminded me of the Rod Stewart Song of the same name :) Client is Ella, whom I have shot a few times.
Even the crows are entitled to some celebrity in Tofino. Actually, I really like the way they looked against the green background of the forest and I felt that the tree canopy was filtering just enough light to highlight their beautiful dark plumage. They are extremely curious, and a few of these guys welcomed us in the parking lot of the place where we were staying. Every time we would go somewhere, they would show up while we were loading the vehicle and looking for opportunities. The cleaning services are using small golf carts to carry their equipment and the supplies for the cottage we were renting. As soon as the staff would enter one of the unit, the crow would make an attempt to steal a biscuit or something else from the cart... they are so smart and interesting to watch.

A harvest fresco entitled "Agriculture in California" by Maxine Albro in the Social Realism style is part of the 1934 mural project in the lobby of Coit Tower in San Francisco.
Maxine Albro (1896-1966)
She was one of America's leading female artists, and one of the few women commissioned under the New Deal's Federal Art Project, which also employed Jackson Pollock, Mark Rothko, and Willem de Kooning.

Coit Tower is a 210-foot (64 m) tower in the Telegraph Hill neighborhood of San Francisco, California, offering panoramic views over the city and the bay. The tower, in the city's Pioneer Park, was built between 1932 and 1933 using Lillie Hitchcock Coit's bequest to beautify the city of San Francisco.
The art deco tower, built of unpainted reinforced concrete, was designed by architects Arthur Brown, Jr. and Henry Howard. The interior features fresco murals in the American Social Realism style, painted by 25 different onsite artists and their numerous assistants, plus two additional paintings installed after creation offsite.

As I've entitled this, this is the Highway 14 Bridges at Cass Street, as taken from Riverside Park, located in downtown La Crosse. The bridges may have another name they go by, I don't know. I've taken several pictures of this through the years; I just thought it was time to upload one of them! This is the Mississippi River that it spans over, and this is actually the dividing line between Wisconsin and Minnesota. Hope you all enjoy!

Perhaps I should entitle this, "pseudo-winter". Since we have no snow, the closest thing I can find to winter is the ice that forms around the local waterfalls. Which has now disappeared because we have had mild spring weather this week

I had entitled this shot "Do you have a flag?" in reference to the Eddie Izzard bit, but it seemed less appropriate and/or overly esoteric.
I recently finished a book entitled "A Life Wild and Perilous." The book chronicled the lives and times of the mountain men who blazed the trails that enabled the opening of the American West for settlement. These dudes possessed major wilderness survival skills and could track a ghost through a blizzard. I found it all quite inspirational, and decided to give my own tracking skills a go. I found some tracks in the woods and followed them. It was actually pretty easy. Go figure.

This statue in red stone, entitled "La Méditerranée", by the Marseille based sculpter Louis Botinelly (1883 - 1962) can be found on a building in the Panier district (2nd arrondissement) of Marseille on the corner of Rue Henri Tasso and Avenue Saint-Jean.
The inscription on the platform below the sculpture "Et sur les flots d'azur, Phocée jeta à nouveau ses nefs" refers to the founding of Marseille by Phoenician merchants in 600 BC.

This work is entitled ‘’Hermes exits Sliema’ by SeaPuppy and is on the wall at the base of the promenade at Qui si Sana, Sliema, Malta.
The following is an extract from the artists webpage…..
My name is Christian de Souza Jensen, otherwise known as "SeaPuppy". I've been doodling & painting since I was very young.
I originally studied Classical animation & fine Arts and eventually graduated from Ballyfermot College of Further Education (B.C.F.E.) in Dublin, Ireland.
I currently reside on the Island of Malta, Europe.
This project entitled Pigment was created using 3 models, 2 female and 1 male model. With the female models, pigment powder was sprayed into their hair which they then whipped backwards, creating this 'swirl' of pigment, and using a black background the color really pops.
The background was created by covering the white wall with black crate paper. For lighting I used two speed-lights and a reflector to light everything.

Transients come and go as they please into this old senior trailer park I live in. They steal anything in our tiny spaces and porches-, spit in the Main Street as well as our tiny properties. The slum lords refuse to put cameras up or a gate up. Cops never come so we are on our own. This dirty higher than a kite guy made me want to follow to see where the source of the drugs is coming from in the park. Just because it’s old people doesn’t mean it’s not criminal old people selling from their trailer. Because they are. Because I was already in my car ready to run errands and he came in off the busy main street outside the park . I thought it was perfect timing to follow him, but I stayed way back because he had very. Bad energy, the kind that would get violent if he is triggered. I followed a few streets staying back and at the last street he turned left so I slowed then went we he turned . and he had completely disappeared like a ghost. I was so disappointed. I wanted to solve the mystery of who was letting these addicts in. It was a recon fail. Maybe I will get another chance and will be armed with a camera and zoom lens instead of my phone camera. Life ain’t boring not for me anyways . 😂 ( ps the picture taken with an older iPhone just after a storm ⛈️ the cloud odd shape straight across sky is real the pink sky compliments of light room) :)
Entitled “I am Queen Mary, this “23-foot statue is inspired by Mary Thomas, a Caribbean woman who led a fiery 19th-century revolt against Danish colonial rule.
Seated on a wicker throne, the statue stares solemnly ahead, her head crowned in a head wrap, her feet bare, a torch in her left hand, a tool used to cut sugar cane in her right.” I was impressed by both the amazing work of art and the story behind the statue. It is found in Copenhagen, Denmark. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mary_Thomas_(labor_leader)

Mural entitled 'To Melbourne' by artist Steen Jones, Duckboard Place, Melbourne.
You usually dry off on a duckboard, but it rained so much the day I took this image I was about as far away from being dry as it is possible to be.
Dear Flickr friends, you are all formally invited to the opening of my first solo photographic exhibition entitled "Toulouse lePlot.....Abstractions from a very small town" commencing at 5:30pm on Friday 2nd March at the Roma on Bungil gallery, Roma, Australia.
The exhibition comprises 40 photographs, both colour and B+W, and these are predominately abstract images although there are a few regular photos just to show that I haven't totally lost the plot.
The exhibition runs for 4 weeks closing on the 1st April. This particular image shows the very rare and grotesque purple striped unicorn fish spotted in murky water during our recent floods.....
The Mayfair Buildings was constructed in 1906 to a design by the Belfast firm of Blackwood and Jury. It is located on Cornmarket, which started out its existence by being, well, a market for corn, and is now one of the main hubs of the city's pedestrian precinct.
The sculpture is entitled Spirit of Belfast, was sculpted by Dan George, and unveiled in 2009. According to the English Wikipedia: "The coloured lighting is designed to reflect the texture and lightness of linen, while the metal reflects the strength and beauty of shipbuilding, two important aspects of Belfast's history."

Allá, al final de este horizonte palpable,
Aquí, en esta inaccesible cercanía,
Enloquecen risas que lloran,
Llantos que ríen.
Se mudan las plazas detrás de sus prófugas estatuas,
También se marchan las sombras diurnas,
Las nocturnas arrodilladas contemplan este horizonte,
Y la inaccesible cercanía...
Los ecos que aún sobreviven te imitan ¡Inútilmente!
Como la lluvia a tus imperdonables dedos,
La brisa a tu aliento de alma.
Leandro Rodríguez Linárez
I found this poem by Thoreau, entitled Smoke:
Light-winged Smoke! Icarian bird,
Melting thy pinions in thy upward flight;
Lark without song, and messenger of dawn,
Circling above the hamlets as thy nest;
Or else, departing dream, and shadowy form
Of midnight vision, gathering up thy skirts;
By night star-veiling, and by day
Darkening the light and blotting out the sun;
Go thou, my incense, upward from this hearth,
And ask the gods to pardon this clear flame.
***
I was reluctant to photograph smoke which seemed an insensitive choice at a time when we were grieving, after the New Year tragedy in Crans-Montana. Then I remembered the smoke of incense that can be healing in a way, and that watching it unfurl and drift away and disappear could help to disspiate the entanglement of emotions of grief and disbelief, of sorrow and bewilderment, of overwhelming heartbreak and smouldering anger-
So this is as gentle as I can make it, The background is black but somehow turned to a more subtle blue.
This quilted piece, entitled Dad's Ties was created by Phyllis Cayer. Her artistic statement is shown below:
"My Dad died in 1975 when I was 9. I don't know why I saved his ties. This was for a challenge "Take Something Old and Make It New." I won first prize.
This artwork entitled "The Hunted" was created on the promenade in Eastbourne. Redundant shelters have been boarded up and this work has been created by Sarah Gillings (aka (S.o.S) assisted by Zara Wilkins.
It has been funded by the European Regional Development Fund, via the Welcome Back Fund.

I've often joked with people on here that I have a book entitled "101 rain dances for the keen photographer" but obviously no such book exists. But if it does, and you know where to get a copy of it, drop me a line... However I do think I've cracked the cheat code to getting amazing weather when out and about - you invite Dom Haughton along with you. As many of you know Dom has recently been over to Sweden to visit, before we headed off to Rondane in Norway for five days of photography. We've been so lucky with the weather and conditions that it is only logical to conclude that Dom is in fact a weather god disguised in that Cornish body of his.
However, celestial being or not, he's not a morning person and the dread on his face when I declared we were getting up early Saturday morning for a sunrise photo was priceless. Poor Dom, he was tired after his flight was delayed over an hour and a half resulting in a mad dash to my neck of the woods to photograph the setting sun once he arrived. Sadly Dom was a little disorientated after sitting on the tarmac at Heathrow so hadn't quite tuned in his weather-whispering capabilities just then. The next morning though was something else..... We stood at the top of Havstensklippan and watched a pretty cool sunrise before things kicked off that resulted in us running around like headless chickens and me repeatedly saying phrases like "wow" and "Holy Moly" as mother nature kept on giving. I used those phrases a lot in the coming week as Norway really delivered in spades but those photos will have to wait. Another phrase I used a lot was "white Tesla" but that's another story for later. As for my lucky weather charm, my children have asked Dom to come back for December this year so we can be guaranteed a white Christmas....
Many Chicago residents still don't know about the hidden gem that is the contemporary art gallery known as Wrightwood 659. It is sandwiched between Clark and Ashland on the border of Lincoln Park and Lakeview on an unassuming shady street but it has had some excellent exhibitions over the years!
Reimagine: Himalayan Art Now! is an exhibit that spans through February 15th, 2025. You can see more on their website:

This piece is by Asha Kama Wangdi and here's a link for the artist specifically:
bhutanart.bt/artists/asha-kama-wangdi/
There's also a video piece in the second floor space of the art gallery John Akomfrah entitled Four Nocturnes that is almost an hour long with thrilling scenes of high detailed nature shots so you might want to reserve about 3 hours if you go visit.

I recently finished reading a very interesting collection of short stories entitled Save Me Stranger, by Erika Krouse. The stories are pretty wild and go in all different directions with quite a large variety of main characters and settings. Many really made me think more deeply about life situations and reality.
In any case, the collection starts out with the following quote from Anaïs Nin:
"Stories are the only enchantment possible, for when we begin to see our suffering as a story, we are saved."
I've been thinking about that quite a bit and I immediately start thinking about how when you are going through a traumatic incident, it is sometimes helpful to picture yourself removed from your body, as if seeing it all from an existential distance.
How will we understand and tell our own stories with this huge change in history...this turmoil, these atrocities currently happening in our names. And, of course, the "winners" are the ones who get to write those stories but none of us are winning here. Some of us may be lucky to survive but that's about all. What we've all collectively lost is immeasurable, whether we write it down or not.
