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.
As this is entitled, this is The Pointe Covered Bridge. It is located in the Evans-Bosshard Park in Sparta, Wisconsin. It is a bridge over Beaver Creek, which shortly flows into the La Crosse River. Very picturesque...and yet, I didn't even know it was here! 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.

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.

The Honourable Society of the Middle Temple, commonly known simply as Middle Temple, is one of the four Inns of Court exclusively entitled to call their members to the English Bar as barristers, the others being the Inner Temple, Gray's Inn and Lincoln's Inn. It is located in the wider Temple area of London, near the Royal Courts of Justice, and within the City of London. As a liberty, it functions largely as an independent local government authority.
Construction of Middle Temple Hall began in 1562 and was completed in the early 1570s. Its hammerbeam roof has been said to be the best in London. Queen Elizabeth I visited the hall in 1578, unannounced, to inspect the new building and listen to a debate between barristers. This is the earliest known visit of a reigning monarch to an Inn of Court. One of the tables at the end of the hall is traditionally said to have been made from the timbers of the Golden Hinde, the ship used by Sir Francis Drake to circumnavigate the world. Above the table is a massive painting of King Charles I thought to be a copy by Peter Lely of the original by Anthony van Dyck, and also portraits of Charles II, James II, William III, Elizabeth I, Queen Anne and George I. On the walls are panels bearing the coats of arms of Readers (senior members) dating back to 1597.
The first recorded performance of Shakespeare's play Twelfth Night occurred in the hall on 2 February 1602. Shakespeare himself was probably present.
The hall survived the Great Fire of London in 1666, but was damaged by bombing in the Second World War.
Middle Temple Hall is at the heart of the Inn, and the Inn's student members are required to attend a minimum of 10 qualifying sessions, 6 of which must be attended in person at the Inn. Qualifying sessions, formerly known as "dinners", combine collegiate and educational elements and will usually combine a dinner or reception with lectures, debates, mooting, or musical performances.
Middle Temple Hall is also a popular venue for banqueting, weddings, receptions and parties. In recent years, it has become a much-used film location—the cobbled streets, historic buildings and gas lighting give it a unique atmosphere.

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.

She kept pointing to something, with our masks I couldn't make out what she was saying, but I kept moving and she kept shaking her head yes. When I got directly under the center, I got a nod of the head. She was right! It is a good shot.

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!

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.

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.
The ninth photo of the series, entitled "Courage for creative blurring".

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)
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.
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.
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."
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

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.

Love is a funny thing. I absolutely love my little dog Veronica. She melts my heart, and, she has been a constant and loyal companion to me for over a decade now. When I see her tucked up sleeping in one of her many beds, my heart fills with love and I cannot help but smile. On the other hand, Veronica and Peter have what could be considered a challenging relationship. Veronica never accepted Peter as a father figure (blended families... what they tell you is all true!), and he considers her to be a spoiled attention-seeking entitled little canine. Such is life I suppose. Over the years they have [very gradually] resolved many of their differences, and finally we have all come to a state of relative peace (thank goodness!)
Anyway, the reason I say all this is because when I see Veronica sleeping like this, I see beauty and grace. Peter, however, sees a little beast who (to him) looks like a little piglet.

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

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:

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.

During the pandemic, I enlisted a number of my photography friends in a project. Every 2-3 weeks, we would present ourselves a new photography challenge. This we would complete on our own, of course, but would later share our efforts and discuss any learnings we had achieved from them.
Time passes. The pandemic years are blurry for me now. But our communal photography challenge work remains a memory bright spot.
This composition was created in response to one of these photography challenges: "Create an interesting image that emphasizes light and shadow."
I have created a Flickr Album entitled "At Home Creatives" where a selection of similarly-themed photographs will be found. I invite you to visit and I hope you enjoy.
