Mit dieser imposanten Drohgebärde verscheucht der Grünfink andere männliche Konkurrenten, da er sich gerade in der Balz befindet und die nur nerven.
With this imposing threatening gesture, the greenfinch scares away other male competitors, as it is in courtship display and they are just annoying.
A photo that I took two years ago during a two-day workshop at West Country Wildlife Photography in Devon
I mull over for quite a while of whether to write about taking this picture, its not a dramatic incident, but somehow shrouded with mystery... read blog
Shot in Singapore
Godafoss (The Waterfall Of The Gods) is Iceland’s most impressive and beautiful waterfall.
Its name is associated with the country’s history. Having been settled on the 9th and 10th centuries, the Norse pagan religion was dominant. With the growth of Christianity throughout Europe, the pressure to abandon Norse increased to the point that Iceland feared an invasion. In 1000 AD it adopted Christianity as the official religion and the decision maker made the symbolic gesture of throwing the pagan idols into the waterfall. Hence its name since then: The Waterfall Of the Gods.

Black and white re-edit of a shot from May 2017. Enjoy!
From all accounts, looks like this eagle might be gesturing to me in a not so pleasant manner. Actually, its getting ready to scratch its head. LOL
Photographed in west-central Florida.

Messing around with "the girl" in my room, she got on top of the bed and sorta did this weird gesture with her hands in a very subconscious way; and thought it looked kind of cool :) Great week ahead everyone! Catch you guys soon!
AI tells me that "a gesture is a physical action, often using the hands, arms, or face, that communicates a message, idea, or feeling, or it can be a symbolic act done to show an attitude or intention. Gestures can involve body language to emphasize speech or convey meaning in the absence of words." In this case, I did not know what kind of face to make. Fuji X-Pro1 plus 7Artisans 1.2/35 wide-open.
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.

I shot this just before This Shot. That is why I didn't believe she was gesturing "Quotation".
Your views and comments are much appreciated.

Saw this lovely basket, standing outside a shop, meant to invite the clients in, what a beautiful gesture!
They are the 'normal' variety, in their distinct blue colour.
Beware, pretty as they are, they are toxic.
Thank you, M, (*_*)

Installed on the south façade of the National Gallery of Canada, Honouring a Long View is a series of six photographs captured on Wickaninnish Beach in Pacific Rim National Park Reserve. One image features artist Jin-me Yoon peering through binoculars—an evocative gesture that echoes the aesthetics of military surveillance. This visual reference draws on archival press photos Yoon has studied, depicting soldiers and tourists gazing across both sides of the Korean Demilitarized Zone (DMZ)—a stark boundary that continues to divide the peninsula into two nations locked in ongoing conflict.
Jin-me Yoon, a Korean-born, Vancouver-based artist, explores the complex intersections of tourism, militarism, and colonial histories through her work.

Installée sur la façade sud du Musée des beaux-arts du Canada, « Porter un regard au loin » est une série de six photographies prises sur la plage Wickaninnish, dans la Réserve de parc national Pacific Rim. L’une des images montre l’artiste Jin-me Yoon regardant à travers des jumelles — un geste évocateur qui rappelle la surveillance militaire. Cette référence visuelle s’inspire de photos de presse archivées qu’a étudiées Yoon, représentant des soldats et des touristes observant de part et d’autre de la zone démilitarisée (DMZ) qui divise toujours la péninsule coréenne en deux nations en conflit perpétuel.
Jin-me Yoon, artiste née en Corée et basée à Vancouver, explore dans son œuvre les relations complexes entre tourisme, militarisme et histoire coloniale.
