Frederic Back created a massive stained glass mural entitled "L’histoire de la musique à Montréal ("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
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.

Emil Ferris is one of those humans who you can just sense their utter brilliance. I literally think it's an amazing gift to share the same respiratory space with such an amazing human. I was thrilled to be able to speak to Emil after the Q and A following The Music Box Theater's documentary of Art Spiegelman entitled Disaster is My Muse (This should be available on PBS in the upcoming months according to the director)
I was telling Emil Ferris about this nonfiction book I was reading called Beyond Anxiety by Martha Beck, who speaks about how a creativity cycle can disrupt an anxiety cycle. I think many of us artists in this current political climate are feeling increasingly restless and hopeless. Channeling that into art is a good idea at this time.
In any case, this is a great film and Emil Ferris's My Favorite Thing is Monsters (Book 1 and 2) is absolutely phenomenal. Highly recommended!
In these current times, the monsters are humans who have been given absolute power to enforce their wills and desires on all. Every day is a new horror and destruction of human rights. Some will try to counter this by praying ceaselessly. Others, like myself, will continue to maximize their time on Earth by doing art every spare moment. It is perhaps the only way to cope with the madness of reality and maybe enough of us could create a new world out of the embers left.

Entitled Christ Rests in Peace, the dramatic sculpture of Christ’s head with crown of thorns, is the result of over 20 years work on the face of Jesus by acclaimed British sculptor Nic Fiddian-Green.
The giant eight-foot head, cast in lead with a gilded crown of thorns, was on display in front of the high altar during Lent and the Holy Week.
It is powerful not just because of its sheer size but also because when you look beyond the thorns you see the humanity in the face of Christ, says Andrew Nunn, Dean of Southwark.
In the 1840’s a group of Swedish religious pietists came here to the prairies of north central Illinois to seek religious freedom and economic opportunity. Led by a charismatic leader named Eric Jansson, they founded a town that they named Bishop Hill. The church you see here was completed in 1849. It replaced an earlier log structure that had burned down. Jansson was known as the “Wheat Flour Messiah” due to his part in the colony’s success in raising and milling grain. There was also a successful broom manufactory here which thrived with the coming of the railroads. This church is only used now on special occasions and as a history museum. The sixth image in my album entitled “Monochrome” is a picture of the church sanctuary.
Yes, I am a brat, most days I am proud of it, some days not so much. This doesn't eman I am entitled, however it does mean that sometimes I behave like it. I am grateful most of all. I have feelings, lots of them and I express them often and mostly in a good way...there are times though... LOL!

Entitled ‘Thank You, Andrei Sakharov’ (‘Danke, Andrei Sakharov’), this simple portrait was painted by Dmitri Vrubel and Viktoria Timofeeva in honour of Soviet nuclear physicist, dissident and human rights activist Andrei Sakharov.
Having worked to design thermonuclear weapons for the Soviet Union, Sakharov later became an advocate of civil liberties and civil reform, facing state persecution for his activism. These efforts earned him the Nobel Peace Prize in 1975. He died in 1989, just a few weeks after the Wall fell.

Anselm Kiefer: A Monograph by Dominique Baqué (Thames & Hudson, 2015).
Chapter 2 of this wonderful and comprehensive introduction to the work of Anselm Kiefer is entitled: "Painting After Auschwitz". Here we get to the heart of what drives this most philosophical of artists.
Born in Donaueschingen, Germany, in March 1945, just months before the end of World War II, Anselm Kiefer inherited a destroyed world. This fact has shaped his thinking and turned his artistic endeavours into a personal crusade to make his country face up to the horrors of its past.
How could the most scientifically, culturally, and artistically literate people have embraced a theology with murderous intent at its heart? Pagan though it may have been, Naziism was without doubt a pure theocracy of Aryan purity, and its largest supporter base was the so-called German Christians (the state Lutheran Church along with conservative Catholics). The fact that many Christians have long been attracted to authoritarian politics is a sad reality. [It may have something to do with a belief in a version of God as Cosmic Dictator who requires absolute obedience lest one be condemned to an eternity in Hell.]
Kiefer began studying law at university, but also read widely in German philosophy and literature. It wasn't long though before he simply felt compelled to produce works of art as his primary expression. He first came to attention with a controversial series of photographs of figures in "sacred" German landscapes making the Nazi salute. Clearly these photographs were inspired by the great Romantic painter Caspar David Friedrich (1774-1840). Then came a series of impasto paintings that trace a line between the great German thinkers of the past (including Martin Luther) right the way up to the SS murder-concentration-camps such as Auschwitz.
In 1992 Kiefer moved, as if in exile from his homeland, to the south of France to set up his studio La Ribaute in Barjac. eschaton-foundation.com/
The new Kiefer installation at MONA is a copy of part of this studio.
Anselm Kiefer is the most philosophical of painters and possibly the most ancient (in the Jungian sense) of all contemporary artists. One of the great influences on the later part of his career, attempting to answer the questions of how a holocaust of such magnitude as World War II could happen, is a book published quietly two decades ago by a relatively unknown art historian. It is The Shape of Ancient Thought: Comparative Studies in Greek and Indian Philosophies by Thomas McEvilley (Allworth Press, 2002) and it demonstrates categorically how much of the ancient world of truth and prejudice continues to live on in the present. It is a powerful book and continues to sit in prominent place on my desk, and one to which I return over and over again.
Anselm Kiefer, “The Shape of Ancient Thought”

One final comment of Kiefer's painting. He works is a variety of materials that are plastered over his canvases. They are works literally designed to fall apart. This notion of temporality is very important to his vision. Nothing in history stays the same, and this is both a relief and a warning. A relief in that as Gandhi said, "Tyrants will rise and fall, but truth lives forever." A warning, in that we must always be attentive to the fact that the same fascist impulses that motivated the Nazis are barely a scratch away from the surface of our current political reality.

The Headless Horseman is a fictional character from the short story "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow" by American author Washington Irving. The story, from Irving's collection of short stories entitled The Sketch Book of Geoffrey Crayon, Gent., has worked itself into known American folklore/legend through literature and film. It is generally about a Headless Horseman.
The Headless Horseman has appeared in many forms of literature throughout history and throughout the world. Many countries have their own unique version of the legend in which some form of the headless horseman appears. In the United States, various states have their own version of a headless horseman tale.
The more noted and recognizable Headless Horseman of today imitates the one that appears in Washington Irving's short story, which was published in 1819, along with 34 other of Irving's essays. The story is set in New York, within a 1790s Dutch settlement that residents nicknamed “Sleepy Hollow”. Its protagonist is a schoolteacher named Ichabod Crane, whose unknown final fate results from a meeting with the horseman.
The horseman himself is allegedly a Hessian soldier from the American Revolutionary War who was decapitated by a cannonball and now roams Sleepy Hollow on the back of his horse, with his severed head resting upon the pommel of his saddle. He is therefore also called the 'Galloping Hessian'. The Horseman is said to be incapable of crossing the bridge at the town entrance (a possible reference to the belief that ghosts cannot cross water), although he is shown throwing his head across a river to strike down Ichabod Crane. Ichabod's fate is left ambiguous; some of the background characters allege that he has been "carried off" by the Horseman, while others suggest that Ichabod was still alive, that he had been frightened out of the county by the ghost (and by the prospect of facing his bad-tempered landlord) and was pursuing a successful legal career in a distant part of New York (in the Disney animated film, he is supposed to have married a wealthy widow).
It is implied later that the Horseman was in fact Brom Bones, Ichabod's rival for the hand in marriage of the local beauty Katrina van Tassel, who imitated the legend of the Galloping Hessian on purpose to frighten and chase away his rival. The fact that a shattered pumpkin is found beside Ichabod's abandoned hat supports this, in that the pumpkin may easily have been used to simulate the Horseman's severed head. Intriguingly, there is no mention of a severed head in the story heard by Ichabod, though it is prominent in his own encounter with the horseman.
Other adaptations include collections of short horror stories such as The Headless Horseman: And Other Ghoulish Tales, poems such as The Headless Horseman Rides Tonight: More Poems to Trouble Your Sleep, and even plays such as The Mystery of the Headless Horseman. In A Hollow Sleep by Chris Ebert, the Horseman is given an identity of "Heinrich Luneberg" and his origins explored. The story is told from his perspective (appearing in the book Ophelia and Other Weird Tales).
The Headless Horseman is also a novel by Mayne Reid written in 1865 or 1866 and is based on the author's adventures in the United States.

The annual illumination festival 'Kobe Luminarie,', originally held as a requiem for the victims of the Great Hanshin-Awaji Earthquake as well as a symbol of dreams and hopes for the ongoing restoration and reconstruction , takes place in Kobe every December. It was first started eleven months after the earthquake in 1995.
Every year the theme and installation change, which is produced by Italian designer Valerio Festi and Japanese artwork producer Hirokazu Imaoka.(Therefore, “Luminarie”- This Italian-sounding name for the event comes from the plural of the Italian “luminaria” which actually refers to small paper lanterns-is used for the event)
They create beautiful layouts and they’re different every year,and that has people from all over the world coming back year after year to see the new light structures.
The first edition Kobe Luminarie was entitled “Of Dreams and the Light/ Dei sogni e della Luce"and it was a message of hope for peoples.
22 years has passed since that- Fortunately we can see the more than 300,000 LED bulbs illuminate the city’s former foreign settlement area and Kobe East Park this year ,too...and the main theme for this year, 2016 is - " Ode della luce/Ode to light"
Now ‘Kobe Luminarie’ became a yearly event that celebrates Kobe’s remarkable recovery from disaster., and attracts millions of people from all over the world.
*Kobe Luminarie has nothing to do with Christmas **
*This year, the festival of light take place between December 2(Fri)-15(Sun )The lights are turned on for a few hours each evening. Major streets in the vicinity are closed to auto traffic during these hours to allow pedestrians to fill the streets and enjoy the lights.

Created for Digitalmania and inspired by Ionut Caras. He was born in February in the late 1970s and found inspiration for his photography in the cooler weather of his Romanian country. Much of his artwork shows fall and winter and hues of blues and whites. His work creates dreamlike images that one may not quite understand or may feel alone when viewing. His website: www.carasdesign.com/#!/Home
Inspired by the red sunset sky and animal silhouettes from Caras' artwork entitled "Convoy."
Background and a few animals are from my stock.

Two years ago I participated in a horror short film recording, entitled "A Haunted House".
My work was short, taking post-production still pictures and little else. But I received much more than I gave.
I never imagined the hard work, cost, means necessary to carry out. It is only a few minutes of recording. And finally it is finished and at the diffusion stage.
As we are so close to Halloween, I would like to share with you some pics I took during that filming.
Now I have permission to post them 😇
Hace dos años participé en la grabación de un cortometraje de terror, titulado "La Familia".
Mi trabajo fue breve, tomando foto fija para la postproducción y poco más. Pero recibí mucho más de lo que di.
Nunca imaginé el trabajo duro, el coste, los medios necesarios para llevarlo a cabo.
Son solo unos minutos de grabación. Y finalmente está terminado y en etapa de difusión.
Como estamos tan cerca de Halloween, me gustaría compartir con vosotros algunas fotos que tomé durante el rodaje.
Ahora tengo permiso para publicarlos 😇

You would be well entitled to ask, "Who is John Sealy?'
Well here is the answer from the Living London History website: 'From 1799-1813, John Sealy was the senior business partner at the Coade stone factory in Lambeth. They produced an artificial stone that can be seen all over London - for example the keystone heads over the doors on Bedford Square and the South Bank Lion.
Unsurprisingly, the rather dramatic monument adorning the grave is made of Coade stone, as well as William Bligh’s grave.'
I didn't see the tomb of Mr. Bligh, but the photo of it on the website looks pretty cool!

Bargeboard
Reproduced from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&ct=res&cd=...
Bargeboard (probably from Medieval Latin bargus, or barcus, a scaffold, and not from the now obsolete synonym vergeboard), the boards fastened to the projecting gables of a roof to give them strength and to mask, hide and protect the otherwise exposed end of the horizontal timbers or purlins of the roof to which they were attached. Bargeboards are sometimes moulded only or carved.
Vergeboard
thinkexist.com/dictionary/meaning/vergeboard/
The ornament of woodwork upon the gable of a house, used extensively in the 15th century. It was generally suspended from the edge of the projecting roof and in position parallel to the gable wall. Called also bargeboard.
Italianate
Reproduced from Realtor.com
www.realtor.com/Basics/AllAbout/TypesStyles/Articles/Ital...
There are a few different ways to identify an Italianate home. The chief characteristic is the brackets at the eave, arched doorways and windows, bay windows and flat roofs. The houses are usually in a boxed or rectangular shape. Regardless of scale, all Italianates have very wide eaves usually supported by heavy brackets, tall windows, and scrollwork. Another distinctive "signature" of the style is a central single-bay porch or long porches. Many examples feature a cupola. A few of the styles (usually "Tuscan") feature a tower.
Since the Italianate was a house style that could be transported by railroad, piece by piece, this style dominated American houses constructed between 1850 and 1890. By the late 1860s the style had completely overshadowed its earlier companion, Gothic Revival. In the mid-1800s, the style was adapted to the urban row house, and is still seen today in the brownstone row houses of New York.

Every year, Karen and I, along with our friends, Bev Woodroffe and Henk Tiesma, visit Bob and Carol Barkwell, usually in the Spring, at their home in Lindsay, Ontario. Karen, Bev and Carol began their teaching careers together forty years ago.
This year, we went to Bob and Carol's cottage on Twelve Mile Lake in the Haliburton Highlands of Ontario. This time we went in the Fall. The main focus of the weekend was the Haliburton County Studio Tour, which includes twenty-one artisans. We visited several studios, and also took in the town of Haliburton. The trip was extra special this year, since the Fall colours are breathtaking
The Twelve Mile Lake Church was established in 1890, and was originally Presbyterian. In 1925, it joined the United Church of Canada. it can hold about 30-40 people. The nearby cemetery holds 566 burials.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Sneem (Irish: An tSnaidhm) is a town situated on the Iveragh Peninsula (part of the Ring of Kerry) in County Kerry in the southwest of Ireland. It lies on the estuary of the River Sneem. National route N70 runs through the town.
The Irish name for the town "An tSnaidhm" translates into the English "The Knot". There are several explanations as to why a "knot" would be relevant for this small Kerry village.
First, and most obviously, the Sneem river flows through the village and it is said that a knot-like swirling takes place when the river meets the currents of Kenmare Bay in the estuary just below the village.
Sneem village comprises 2 squares, North and South. There is a bridge in the middle of the village which if looked at from an aerial perspective acts as a knot between the two village squares.
A less common explanation is that Sneem is the knot in the famed Ring of Kerry scenic tourist drive. In order to complete the Ring of Kerry one must pass through the village of Sneem so therefore Sneem could be viewed as "the knot".
A book, Sneem The Knot in the Ring details the area's history.[1]
In March 1978 Sneem was the venue for the state funeral for former President Cearbhall Ó Dálaigh who resided in the area prior to his death.
There are a number of common Irish names associated with Sneem include Sullivan and O'Sullivan. Because there can be many O'Sullivan's local append words to differentiate between them for example O'Sullivan-Mountain.
Former French President Charles de Gaulle visited here on numerous occasions and there is a sculpture commemorating this in the village
The village of Sneem is a treasure trove of international sculpture, accessible to all, free of charge, throughout the year. The work of Vivienne Roche, Alan Hall, Tamara Rikman and a panda sculpture donated by the Peoples Republic of China can be seen on various locations." The Risen Christ " by Brother Joseph McNally is located on thegrounds of St.Michael's Church and the goddess Isis donated by the people of Egypt stands at "The Way The Fairies Went". "The Way The Fairies Went" is a collection of buildings designed by Kerry sculptor James Scanlon, and executed by local stoneworkers located overlooking the Sneem River near St. Michael's Church. It was financed by the Arts Council of Ireland as a result of Sneem winning the National Tidy Towns Award in 1987. The entire project was completed in 1989-90.The buildings won the National Landscape Award in 1997.
The legendary Casey family of rowers and wrestlers were all from Sneem, the most famous of whom "Steve 'Crusher' Casey" was undefeated heavyweight wrestling champion of the world 1938-1947 and in 1982 he received the Irish Hall Of Fame Award, presented by Olympic gold medallist Ronnie Delaney. There is a statue commemorating him in the village.
William Melville, the first head of the British Secret Service, was born at nearby Direenaclaurig Cross.
The Gaelic footballer Ronan Hussey, who was a member of the Kerry senior football panel is a native of Sneem and still plays with Sneem GAA.
In 2000, a time capsule was buried in the centre of the town. It will be opened in 2100.[2]

"The statue entitled Pax was sculpted by Octave Rotsaert (21st July 1885 – 26th March 1964) a Bruges born sculptor and painter. He trained in Paris and in 1927 sculpted Pax in plaster of Paris which was awarded a medal of honour. When he returned to Bruges Rotsaert did not have enough money to cast the statue in bronze and it was left in his workroom. It was noticed by Doctor Louis De Winter, a lover of art and he decided that one day he would arrange for it to be cast. After World War II, Dr Louis De Winter wanted to celebrate the end of war with a symbol of peace, but wasn’t sure what to do. He was a head of department in the hospital and often walked in the courtyard. He then remembered the Pax sculpture and together with the ‘Friends of Bruges’ arranged for it to be cast in Bronze in a studio in Ghent.
It was erected in the courtyard in the winter of 1947 with no announcement or ceremony, but has now become a much loved piece of art in this spiritual home of real monks for many hundreds of years".

On New Year's day 2017, I had the wonderful opportunity to spend some time with this beautiful fox while he did a little walkabout along the edge of snow covered lake. What a way to start a new year...

I like to pursue the experience of seeing Horsetail Fall each year. A client of ours not long ago dismissed it as something to the effect of "everyone pursuing the same shot". That's fine, everyone is entitled to their own opinion, but it got me wondering why I disagree, and what has driven me to pursue the event maybe 80-90 times over the past couple of decades. It's never the same twice, but it's more than that. A lot more.
A lot of people pursue the sight of Horsetail Fall each year. The phenomenon requires a lot of variables to line up, so it may only be dramatic on one or two nights each year. Sometimes there's only a wet spot on the rock illuminated with sunset light, other times there's a small amount of water, but it only gets a weak glow of color as the sun fades behind thin haze as it sets.
On the best of nights there's a strong flow cascading over the lip or El Capitan, and the full force of the sun lights up the water through clear skies to the west. The waterfall becomes a shining beacon of sunlight, shimmering as it cascades down the granite surface. It looks white hot at first, difficult to look at when the water catches and transmits enough of the sun. Then there's an increasing amount of color, as the sun sets through thickening atmosphere and blue light is scattered, leaving warmer tones. Yet as the coloration starts, the intensity is still very high, like vigorously splashing molten copper. Water splashes as it cascades, and the droplets create a scintillating effect of liquid molten sunlight. This is the part that's utterly spectacular, leaving witnesses with jaws agape, oohs and ahhs coming from the spectators below. The effect is most analogous to the shimmering corona present for a few minutes during a total solar eclipse, something that many people travel the world over and over to see and experience again. On one hand seeing the sun's corona revealed is a combination of coincidence and physics, but it can trigger awe with a healthy dose of dopamine, endorphins, and who knows what else, an intense natural high that may be unmatched in the viewer's prior life experience. So it's little wonder that many people with the means pursue that experience over and over again. At its best and most intense, Horsetail Fall, if you're in the right place to get the full force of intense transmitted sunlight, produces that effect.
The next phase is when the color peaks in Horsetail Fall, the sun is in its final orange phase, and the water resembles hot lava in color. If someone unmasked you in that spot in exactly that moment, you could be convinced that it IS hot lava, the eruption spewing droplets of red hot Pele's tears as it falls. It's awesome, but if you were waiting for color and didn't pay attention to the prior phase because your neighbor was chatty, you missed the main event. Clever photographers will go to great lengths to try to get an unusual angle on the waterfall, to capture a unique composition. If you're standing at a right angle to the light going through the waterfall, getting some reflected color but not the scintillating light coming through small droplets, sure, you may have captured a pretty picture, but sorry, if it happened at all, you may have missed the most intense part of the experience.
The final phase is when the color starts to fade, and the setting sun might cast a more magenta to red tone on the water. In some years, especially when there's low water flow, this is the best that it gets in five nights of trying.
In later dates in February, the sunlight will have a shadow creeping up from below, leaving intense light mainly on the upper portion of the waterfall.
The event typically ends in the spectators cheering and clapping, a release of energy they accumulated during the various phases of the spectacle.
There are probably multiple reasons why someone might not get why Horsetail Fall is something to experience. One category is people who chased it and either it didn't happen, or it wasn't that great. Fair enough, sorry you missed it. It's a bit like chasing a solar eclipse that ends up impeded by clouds. It could feel like a waste of time, and you may wonder why people put themselves through the hassle.
Another category of unimpressed people may be photographers who flit around the country or world like butterflies, collecting places but never stopping to truly experience them. Lori and I traveled to Turkey in 2010, but we spent over 3 weeks there and spent a lot of time driving around the countryside staying with locals. We wanted to experience the country and meet the people, not just blow through it collecting postcard shots. Our favorite experiences are from when we left a hole in our itinerary and had locals recommend where we should go. And the time when no one spoke English while our rental car broke down for several hours. Travelling the country and photographing/seeing many sites was great, the people and experiences were priceless.
Similarly for many of the most spectacular moments we experience, often with little warning, it's most compelling to remember to experience the full impact, not just photograph the pretty colors or the unusual weather. Often we run into conditions that boggle the mind, and contain a range of light that the photographic process, without the full intensity of the sun, will never fully contain or convey. Moments that we never could have possibly anticipated, when nature is just showing off how it can exceed what we've experienced before. The first thing I do in these circumstances is to observe, "No one will ever believe this!" Because it's true. And I point out the when they're post-processing the images, if they upload an image and at least some people don't reply with "fake", "over-processed", "oversaturated", or now "AI", then they've failed to convey even a fraction of what they've seen. We also try to encourage people to learn how to automate their exposures with an interval timer, so they can experience the moment as well. Or take lots of different compositions at various times as conditions evolve, but also pause, look up, and notice, and experience the awe.
For me that's the draw. The experiences. The photographs are just a way to share some small fraction of what we experienced.
Back to Horsetail Fall... one of the biggest challenges is trying to post-process the results to reflect the full range of light, to try to include as much of the extreme contrast as possible, without washing out the intense color. I'll probably have to take several passes at the images, and gradually improve them over time. And they probably won't have an appropriate impact without a searing light source, a very bright and high contrast display, or a massively bright light shining directly on a metal print (does someone print on copper?). It'll never match the original event. You can't contain the sun, and re-emit it on command. But perhaps some fraction of the awe can be communicated, and even if not, we'll always have the experiences. And that's what I'm in this for... the doing, the experiencing, and sharing what I can to people who perhaps can't get out as often as we do and see as much of the ridiculous beauty that occurs, whether there's anyone there to see and record it or not.
See you in 5-6 weeks, Horsetail Fall!
