Timbers from the Old National Stadium used to made the furniture place at the Marina Bay waterfront promenade.
As you gaze out over the valley, you see a breathtaking scene unfold before your eyes. The sun, now in its final moments before dipping below the horizon, casts a warm glow over the landscape, causing the mountains in the far distance to appear almost ethereal. The sky is awash with a myriad of colors, ranging from deep oranges and reds to soft pinks and purples, as the clouds catch the last rays of the day.

Some lazy lightning that was kind enough to show itself for this shot. The last few weeks have brought nothing but amazing electrical storms. Hope summer doesn't give up to soon! T3i and Sigma 30mm.

Portrait of the priest of the Temple of Pythons inside the temple (Benin).
The Temple of Pythons is a sacred site deeply connected to the Vodun (Voodoo) religion. It houses dozens of royal pythons, which are considered sacred and symbolize wisdom, fertility, and protection.
For centuries, the temple has played a vital role in local spiritual practices, serving as a place of worship and a connection to ancestral spirits. The python is revered in the region, and believers often visit the temple seeking blessings, guidance, and healing.
Despite modern influences, the traditions surrounding the temple remain strong, highlighting Benin's rich cultural heritage and the enduring presence of Vodun spirituality in West Africa.

Theyyam is a Hindu shamanic ritualistic dance form practiced in Kerala, mainly in the northern districts.
The people of the region consider Theyyam itself as a channel to a god and they thus seek blessings from Theyyam.
The ritual combines dance, music, chanting and elaborate makeup to create a powerful sacred performance that represents deities, ancestral spirits and mythological heroes.
Performers undergo long periods of preparation, including fasting and spiritual discipline, before embodying the divine presence during the ceremony.
Costumes are vibrant and symbolic, often featuring towering headdresses, painted faces and rhythmic movements that follow traditional percussion.
Theyyam is usually performed in village shrines, sacred groves and temple courtyards, and it plays an important role in preserving local myths, social values and collective memory.
Through this ritual, the boundaries between human and divine are believed to dissolve, allowing devotees to communicate directly with the sacred.

The old fishing village Calella de Palafrugell might be one of the most photographed places in Costa Brava. With the white walled houses typical of the coastal villages in Catalonia and the unique promenade with arches, this village offers many photogenic opportunities. This particular afternoon, I was fortunate to visit just as a storm was approaching, letting me frame against the sun. In spite of the threating sky, the sea seemed to confirm the expression of the calm before the storm. In case you happen to like one of my photographs, I would like to mention that I sell prints of my best ones at the print-on-demand site Redbubble (www.redbubble.com/people/kimvbpedersen/).
