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.
„Hoffnung und Trauer“ heißen die beiden Jugendstilfiguren am Rand eines stilisierten Beckens, in dem blaues Glas den Bezug zum Wasser als Symbol ewigen Lebens herstellt. Diese Grabanlage wurde für Franziska Jahn, Erzieherin der Familie Warburg, im „Garten der Frauen“ auf dem Ohlsdorfer Friedhof in Hamburg errichtet.
Eröffnet wurde der „Garten der Frauen“, der von einem gemeinnützigen Verein gepflegt und finanziert wird, im Juli 2001 und ist ein Ort der Erinnerung mit historischen Grabsteinen von Gräbern bedeutender Frauen und eine letzte Ruhestätte für Frauen.
Im Rahmen der 8. Triennale der Fotografie stellt die Fotografin Gisela Floto dort 14 ihrer mit spezieller Technik entwickelten analogen Fotografien zum Thema „Transformationen. Materielle Alchemie“ aus. Eins dieser Werke mit dem Titel „Bedeckt“ wurde von der Grabanlage von Franziska Jahn aufgenommen und ist in diesem Sommer dort ausgestellt.

"Hope and Sadness" are the names of the two Art Nouveau figures on the edge of a stylized basin in which blue glass creates a connection to water as a symbol of eternal life. This grave complex was erected for Franziska Jahn, educator of the Warburg family, in the "Garden of Women" at the Ohlsdorf Cemetery in Hamburg.
The "Garden of Women", which is maintained and financed by a non-profit association, was opened in July 2001 and is a place of remembrance with historical gravestones from the graves of important women and a final resting place for women.
As part of the 8th Triennial of Photography, the photographer Gisela Floto is presenting 14 of her analogue photographs, which she developed using special technology, on the subject of “Transformations. Material Alchemy”. One of these works entitled "Covered" was taken from Franziska Jahn's grave complex and is on display there this summer.

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.
The Milky Way and the Constellation Scorpius rise over an Undisclosed Location.
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. :-)

That's how Bill Bryson described this area in his book, "The Road to Little Dribbling" - a great read !
These fells may not be immense compared to many highland areas in our precious world, but they rise straight up - and if you've ever climbed a Lake District fell, you know it. Let me take you there now... this is from the banks of Derwentwater, my favourite view of the lake and fells surrounding it. The boats lie dormant, waiting for the chance to take another trip out. No fast boats here... it's so peaceful. Miss it a lot. Only a few hours' drive from home... it would be lovely to just GO there !

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.
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.

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!

This piece of art - entitled "The 100 Foot Line" stands behind the National Gallery of Canada on what is known as Nepean Point... a popular spot in Ottawa.
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 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.

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.
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.

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.

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.
