Humanity is the human race, which includes everyone on Earth. It’s also a word for the qualities that make us human, such as the ability to love and have compassion, be creative, and not be a robot or alien.
The word humanity is from the Latin humanitas for "human nature, kindness.” Humanity includes all the humans, but it can also refer to the kind feelings humans often have for each other. Awww. But when you talk about humanity, you could just be talking about people as a whole. When people do bad things, it tests your faith in humanity. When people ask for money to help feed starving children, they're appealing to your sense of humanity.

Condenado al suplicio de su inmensa riqueza; ahogado en el oro de su gran poder; destruido por el ataque indiscriminado de la avaricia y la soberbia.

I am often fooled by what I see. What appears to be one thing, is another. Isn't this true when we look at someone. We think they appear to be this person, but turn out to be that person. I mean, we all know what this object is, or do you? What is it you see? Take a look at your self!
A misty driveway somewhere near Havelock North with the early morning light beaming through the tall, and almost bare trees.
Middelheimmuseum.
Een buitengewone plek waar kunst en natuur samenkomen.
In het kunstpark zijn de beelden thematisch opgesteld. De vier thema’s zijn: Bewegingen, Menselijke natuur, Stadswildernis en Versmelting.
De beelden gaan in dialoog met het landschap en met elkaar.

The sculpture "Hallow" is a centerpiece of the "Illumination: Tree Lights" holiday exhibit at the Morton Arboretum in Lisle, IL. "Hallow" is one of eight sculptures spread around the Arboretum grounds by South African artist Daniel Popper as part of the "Human+Nature" exhibition. "Human+Nature" is the latest in an ongoing series of two-year long exhibitions at the Arboretum. It was preceded by the world-renowned "Trolls" exhibition, and will be ending in February 2023, to be replaced by a new exhibition debuting in May 2023.
The tree lined path along Waimarama Road combined with early morning mist, appears to lead into a void.
The base of South Jetty, across the sandspit. Our favorite surfing spot as teens because it was hard to get to. Tourists and hodads would compete for space at the Rock while we paddled across the bay and hiked the sandspit to have the jetty all to ourselves.
"Human spirit is the ability to face the uncertainty of the future with curiosity and optimism. It is the belief that problems can be solved, differences resolved. It is a type of confidence and it is fragile."
The artwork Left Luggage (Willy Baeyens) refers to the numerous children and youngsters that disappeared in the concentration camps during the war, as silent witnesses to the suffering caused by wars and violence.
The German artillery and guns in trenches and bunkers are shown, as a much-needed reminder of the horrors of which humanity is capable.

A play on Caravaggio's painting of Narcissus. Just a bit of humor, satire, and cultural commentary. I'm not suggesting that the only motives behind our selfie-saturated culture are narcissistic, but I'm not suggesting that some of the motives aren't, either.
I had posted this image quite a while ago, but really didn't like the original post, so I took it down. I really liked the concept, however, so I decided to remaster and repost it.

"The sage does not hoard.
The more he helps others,
the more he benefits himself,
The more he gives to others,
the more he gets himself.
The Way of Heaven does one good but never does one harm.
The Way of the sage is to act but not to compete."
~ Lao Tzu ~
"The popular mythology of creative genius depends on beloved stereotypes of the artist in youth and old age:
the misunderstood upstart who forces us to see the world afresh; and the revered sage who shows us depths of insight
attainable only through a lifetime of hard-won experience."
~ Martin Filler ~
"Human nature and deliberate effort must unite,
and then the reputation of the sage
and the work of unifying all under Heaven
are thereupon brought to completion."
~ Xun Kuang ~
This is Daniel Popper's sculpture called "Sentient", one of the eight sculptures by the South African artist on display at the Morton Arboretum in Lisle, IL, as part of the "Human+Nature" exhibit. "Sentient" was truly the most unsettling of all of Popper's work at the Arboretum. While only part of it is featured here, the work as a whole could aptly be discribed as a physical manifestation of migraine headache or a split personality. "Everything, Everywhere, All At Once" might as well be a film about this sculpture.
"Human+Nature" was the latest in an ongoing series of two-year long exhibitions at the Arboretum and ended effective March 1, 2023. With most or all of the statues reportedly sold, by March 9th "Ginkgo" will have most likely been removed. A new exhibit will debut in May 2023.

This image is being submitted as part of the #Flickr21 Photo Challenge, celebrating Flickr's 21st anniversary on February 10, 2025. The theme for the 10th day of the 21 day photo challenge is "Artistry." Photography is an art form in and of itself. So by definition, any photographer is an artist by default. I have found it enjoyable to use one art form to celebrate another. And Daniel Popper's "Human+Nature" sculptures have been some of the most impressive large-scale works of art that I have seen to date. This image of "Sentient" is perhaps my favorite of all the shots I took of this particular sculpture, and one of my favorites of all the sculptures. But more on that to come in the days ahead as we wrap up the #Flickr21 Challenge.

in the heart of the hofgarten, where history and elegance whisper through arcades and sunlight draws perfect shapes on ancient walls, a man stands—lost. not in the grandeur around him, not in the poetry of the past, but in the label of his beer bottle. delphi, prophecy, philosophy? none of it matters. right now, the real mystery is in his hands.

In paradise, the air is thick with the scent of untouched beauty—the kind that makes your heart ache for just one more sunrise, one more lingering moment. The colors bleed into each other seamlessly, as if nature itself were painting for no audience but its own reflection. Yet, as the days stretch endlessly, the perfection begins to press down, like a weight you never realized could be heavy.
Without growth, paradise becomes static. You can touch it live in it even marvel at it's beauty, but it offers no answers to the restless pulse within you. It cannot offer the kind of friction that sparks change and renewal.
And yet, paradise is not without its own quiet lessons. It invites introspection. It forces you to confront your own dependency on chaos, your craving for contrast. Perhaps the trouble with paradise isn’t in its flaws but in how it reflects ours—our inability to be content in stillness, our yearning for what lies just beyond the horizon. Paradise, perfect as it seems, becomes a mirror, showing us the sharp edges of our human restlessness.
