This week's theme: Silhouettes
It's not really a silhouette but it still looks cool! The symbol is the sign for Alchemy in the manga/anime Full Metal Alchemist. I made this using a piece of paper and a light! ^^

The rose says: "If God wanted humankind to value the Earth he would have insisted that humans pay for the planet. Giving the Earth to humankind essentially gave humankind permission to destroy the entire planet and leave a toxic waste dump for the meek to inherit when Jesus Christ returns to the Earth."
I responded, "God planted a garden in Eden and walked through the garden wondering why Adam & Eve had not yet cut down all the trees, covered everything in asphalt and built a shopping mall so that they might spend eternity in their dark cave watching a flat screen television portray at least 100,000 acts of violence per day interrupted briefly by advertisements informing Adam & Eve that they need to go shopping and also need to buy a bigger television."
The rose says, "You've described Heaven! The Christians will have mansions and streets paved with gold. 200 inch 32K television with at least 15,000 channels. The Christians will never have to move for an eternity. An eternity spent on a couch is an eternity indeed!"

If you only see nature as something far from humankind, you're bound to live with limited perspective. As much of my adventure occurs in deep wilderness as it does close to civilization. There are wild sights in every place where nature gets a grip. Here I stand on the Central Avenue bridge, where Fales River flows below. Sure, there are cars passing pretty steady on the road behind me, but all I see is wildness in the world beyond. Consider it waiting inspiration for any in need, maybe some kid like me biking past, wondering where it all goes, and why not follow? That's how I started all those years back. I took a turn, then another one, then pulled up and started walking. I still haven't gotten where I'm going, or maybe, I've already arrived a thousand times before.

Every year on 18 April, The humankind celebrates the “International Day for Monuments and Sites”, which was approved by the 22nd UNESCO General Conference in 1983.
The International Day aims to encourage visiting Monuments and Sites in local communities and individuals throughout the world to consider the importance of cultural heritage to their lives, identities, promoting awareness of how to protect and conserve the antiquities.
According to UNESCO World Heritage list, there are 981 monuments; Egypt in this list has 7 sites:
Abu Mena
Ancient Thebes with its Necropolis
Historic Cairo
Memphis and its Necropolis – the Pyramid Fields from Giza to Dahshur
Nubian Monuments from Abu Simbel to Philae
Saint Catherine Area
Wadi Al-Hitan (Whale Valley)
The photos show Memphis and its Necropolis – the Pyramid Fields from Giza to Dahshur, precisely The Pyramid of Djoser (or Zoser), or step pyramid which is located in the Saqqara necropolis. It was built during the 27th century BC for the burial of Pharaoh Djoser. Zoser Pyramid is considered the first Egyptian pyramid consisted of six mastabas built atop one another in what were clearly revisions and developments of the original plan.

Oil on canvas
A solitary hunter, dead goose over his shoulder and gun in hand, contemplates the titanic force of the sea along the frozen Maine coast. With the flick of his brush and a stark palette of earthen tones, Homer conveys the elemental relationship between humankind and 'wild nature' that remained his primary subject throughout the 1890s.

Winslow Homer: Force of Nature
(September 2022 – January 2023)
[A]n overview of Winslow Homer (1836–1910), the great American Realist painter who confronted the leading issues facing the United States, and its relationship with both Europe and the Caribbean world, in the final decades of the 19th century.
Homer’s career spanned a turning point in North American history. He lived through the American Civil War and the abolition of slavery, so-called Reconstruction, and war with the last colonial European power in the Americas, Spain.
From his sketches of battle and camp life, to dazzling tropical views and darker restless seascapes, the works reflect Homer’s interest in the pressing issues of his time; conflict, race, and the relationship between humankind and the environment – issues still relevant for us today.
After the war, Homer’s subject became the lives of Americans in the wake of the war and abolition with a focus on the lives of formerly enslaved African Americans.
Homer travelled to France, England, the Bahamas, Cuba and Bermuda. In England, he painted scenes of heroism and resilience that he saw while staying in Cullercoats, a town on the North East coast. In the Caribbean, his paintings became more vivid as he painted the transparent turquoise waters and lush vegetation. His interest in conflict remained constant and he often explored the issue through painting the life and struggles of Black people.
With more than fifty paintings, covering over forty years of Homer’s career, 'Winslow Homer: Force of Nature' is part of a programme of exhibitions that introduce major American artists to a UK and European audience and follows on from our exhibitions about George Bellows and the Ashcan painters, Frederic Church and Thomas Cole.
