Installation entitled Ángulos del Vacio, "Vacuum angles", which was exhibited at the CCCC. Centre del Carme Cultura Contemporània de Valencia. It is composed of 16 iron elements with fluorescent green paint / Mirrors different sizes / DM boards and fluorescent black light tubes. The authors are Carolina Ferrer and Encarna Sepúlveda.
Simple G's excellent work entitled "Life Passengers" is located in the center of Athens, at 36 Kolokynthous Street.
Inspired by this year's theme of the festival The Little Paris of Athens 2022 "In 1922, a pillar of today", the artist captures in the central face of the mural, the anxiety that exists for the new journey of life, the sorrow for what he left behind, while figures pass in front of him who may have the same fate. The passengers next to him are clearly devastated, like any person who is uprooted from his place.
I just love lilies! They're so bright and beautiful! This is taken from my archives back in 2016. I've entitled it, "in hopes of things to come," because here in Wisconsin, even in April, we have snow flurries! ...and yes, it's the week of Easter, but we still have snow flurries! ha! Hope you enjoy!

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.
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.

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!

The boy who wanted to learn to use the wings.
But their roots would not let him fly.
The boy knows that flying has a sweet scent of freedom,
and if he be taken over by is roots he dies and leaves a fruit tree.

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.

Frente a esos espigados campos barridos por el viento, no pude dejar de evocar la tradicional tonada irlandesa que por título lleva el de "El viento que agita la cebada" así como la película de Ken Loach que de ella adoptó el nombre.
-English:
Facing these windswept fields plenty of grain ears, I could not fail to remember that traditional Irish ballad entitled "The Wind That Shakes the Barley" and the Ken Loach's film of the same title.

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.

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)
The famous cafe entitled with the name of Pierre Loti, a famous French writer, is reached on getting to this ridge on which the perfect view of Golden Horn can be watched.
The real name of Pierre Loti, who lived in Istanbul for long years and was a real Istanbul lover, was Julien Viaud.The historical cafe is the most ideal place to watch this mentioned view.
It is said that, in those years Pierre Loti used to come this cafe often, named as “Rabia Kadın Kahvesi” in those years, and write his novel “Aziyade” overlooking Golden Horn.Today, this district, still kept as an original Turkish settlement by being restorated, consists of many spaces serving as a tourist facility.The district is also mentioned in Evliya Çelebi’s Seyahatname ( travel book) as “Idris Köşkü Mesiresi”. There are many historical artifacts and building in Pierre Loti, commonly visited by tourists and travelers who come to Istanbul in 19th century. Double-epigraphed, wooden “Kaşgari Tekkesi”, dated 1813 and located on the way from the tourist facility to Eyüp Mosque, is one of these structures.Another important Persian-epigraphed building, at the right corner of the service area and located at a trivium, is “Çolak Şeyh Hasan Türbesi.” A part of this building is çilehane(çilehane is a place in which a dervish undergoes and suffers to strength his patience.) and Çolak Hasan Dede’s grave is here too.The historical building, on the same way with “Çolak Şeyh Hasan Tekkesi”, is “Sıbyan Mektebi” or a nursery school in today’s context. (Today, that school is used as a prayer room that belongs to the service area.)The grave of a whirling dervish called “Iskender Dede”, passed away in 1589,takes place in Pierre Loti Tourist Facility located forefront Sıbyan Mektebi that was built by Ottoman history writer İdris-i Bitlisi.One of the two water wells infront of Iskender Dede is the famous “Dilek Kuyusu” (a water well for wishes) Evliya Çelebi writes about this water well in his Seyahatname and says: the people who look in to the well, can see their own wishes they keep in their hearts. There is also a drinking fountain next to the frontage of Sıbyan Mektebi.In addition, a cistern, supposed to be built in Byzantine period, survives in the middle of the garden area in the tourist facility.
Frederic Back created a massive stained glass mural entitled "L’histoire de la musique à Montréal" ("The History of music in Montreal") at the Place-des-Arts Metro station in Montreal. Unveiled on December 20, 1967, this stained glass was the first work of art to be commissioned for the Montreal metro system

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.

Sacre Coeur Basilica, Paris
The mosaic over the choir, entitled The Triumph of the Sacred Heart of Jesus, is the largest and most important work of art in the church. It was created by Luc-Olivier Merson, H. M. Magne and R. Martin, and was dedicated in 1923. The mosaic is composed of 25,000 enamelled and gilded pieces of ceramic, and covers 475 square meters, making it one of the largest mosaics in the world.
The central figure is Jesus Christ, dressed in white, with open arms offering his heart, decorated with gold. He is joined by his mother, the Virgin Mary, and by the Archangel Michael, the protector of the church and of France. At his feet, kneeling, is Saint Joan of Arc offering him a crown. A figure of Pope Leo XIII offers a globe to Christ, symbolising the world.

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.

The 24-foot-high sculpture, entitled “Monument to Their Memory,” was built to honor all the railroad workers from many different cultures and backgrounds whose backbreaking efforts were crucial in the construction of the nation’s first transcontinental railroad. It is the creation of artist Ilan Averbuch, who is known around the world for his outdoor art installments. While Chinese and Irish workers made up the largest parts of the workforce, they were joined by many others. African American workers, including some recently freed by the Emancipation Proclamation, toiled to move the tracks ever further west. Mormon workers organized by Brigham Young found themselves working for both competing railroads as they raced through Utah. -- Courtesy The [Tremonton] Leader

Okay, I actually took a course entitled "Identifying Those Damn Yellow Composites" from the famous (occasionally infamous ;-) George Sanko. Without plucking the flower (certainly not permitted!) and studying it under my microscope, I can't offer an identification. I know quite a number of species that it ISN'T, but yellow flowers of all varieties seem to be my black hole of identification. Perhaps someone more knowledgeable can help me out on this one. And, as an aside, even if I had plucked this lovely blossom and studied it under my microscope, I am quite certain I would still be at a loss...
* Today (7/19/19) I received a definitive identification of this plant from Alan Weakley. Not a sunflower after all!
