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.

Restore your faith in humanity in 4 minutes flat
At a time when tragedy dominates world affairs, it’s easy to despair at the path some ‘leaders’ have led us down. But if you’re worried about losing faith in humankind, despair not: we have the antidote. Cue happy tears … Restore your faith in humanity in 4 minutes flat
Here's to you — the kind-hearted
INOCULATION ETERNITY is a story about a place called Eternity. It is my imagination about what life might have been like before humankind ever existed. We all have this hope that when we die we go to a perfect place called Heaven. In this book I paint a picture of a similar place where there is no time, sickness or war. Its essence beholds perfection and pure happiness. The entire story evolves around the life of Archangel Lucifer, who is the Master of Ceremony for the Gathering.
The Gathering could be likened to a church service, but far greater. Its purpose is to recharge everyone's spirit in what I reference in the book as life's resurgence. Everything was perfect until something happens at the latest Gathering service. This something has to do with Lucifer. It begins a wind of change that rocks the core of Eternity and everyone's existence. You will witness how Lucifer's unleashed emotions assimilate negative potential. As the story progresses, readers will witness how many of Eternity's inhabitants who are witnessing the changes, become determined to understand what is happening. Amongst them evolves a certain sect of creatures who begin to enjoy their newfound knowledge. Different sensations are experienced as new emotions surface, which were hidden from them since the beginning of their existence.
Gabriel, who is another principal character is one determined to understand what is happening. Prior to these dysphonic eruptions everything was all good. Now another realm appears on the horizon. His concern for Lucifer and scientific interests beckon him to go in search of a remedy.
Ancient of Days' is my version of God. He is the center of all moral consciousness and the animator for life. He doesn't even attempt to explain what is happening or what has caused the eruption in the first place. Some begin to wonder why. His expression of love for His creation is to stand back and allow them the freedom to choose their own destiny. It is His desire that they trust Him. He encourages them to govern themselves. He lends them support and intervenes only when it is absolutely necessary. With an infinite space ahead of them, He is in no hurry to stop what appears to be a disaster.

"Humankind is being led along an evolving course, through this migration of intelligences, and though we seem to be sleeping, there is an inner wakefulness that directs the dream, and that will eventually startle us back to the truth of who we are."

In Homer's last canvas, a lone protagonist attempts to collect a large piece of driftwood that has been carried to the rocky shore at Prouts Neck. The man's task seems futile. Seen from behind, he is a surrogate not only for the artist facing death, but also for the many sailors Homer depicted confronting the enduring power of nature over the years. Homer died in his Prouts Neck studio in September 1910, at the age of 74.

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.

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! ^^
