Sea urchins in the water, just by the shore :) Taken in the village Vinisće (Croatia).
Sea urchins are small, spiny sea creatures of the class Echinoidea found in oceans all over the world. (The name urchin is an old name for the round spiny hedgehogs sea urchins resemble.) Their shell, which is also called the "test", is globular in shape and covered with spines. The size of an adult test is typically from 3 to 10 cm.
Sea urchins are members of the phylum Echinodermata, which also includes starfish, sea cucumbers, brittle stars, and crinoids. Like other echinoderms they have fivefold symmetry (called pentamerism) and move by means of hundreds of tiny, transparent, adhesive "tube feet". The pentamerous symmetry is not obvious at a casual glance but is easily seen in the dried shell or test of the urchin.
Latin name: Echinoidea
Polish name: jeżowiec

Jeżowce – gromada morskich zwierząt zaliczanych do typu szkarłupni (Echinodermata), charakteryzujących się kulistym, mniej lub bardziej spłaszczonym, różnorodnie ubarwionym ciałem gęsto pokrytym wapiennymi, ruchomo osadzonymi kolcami. Zamieszkują strefę denną wód słonych o zasoleniu powyżej 20‰ wszystkich stref geograficznych kuli ziemskiej. Większość gatunków występuje w strefie tropikalnej i subtropikalnej. Przeciętnie osiągają 3–10 cm średnicy. Ciało jeżowca chronią kolce, między którymi schronienie znajdują drobne ryby, mięczaki i skorupiaki. Kolce wraz z nóżkami ambulakralnymi pełnią funkcje lokomotoryczne. Jeżowce regularne kroczą z ich pomocą po dnie lub drążą jamy. Inne używają ich do zakotwiczenia się na dnie. Jeżowce są zwierzętami wszystkożernymi. Zjadają głównie drobne bezkręgowce, rośliny oraz detrytus. Są też wśród nich oczyszczające morza gatunki mułożerne.

In memory of a dear sister we lost a few years ago now. My arm is resting over the lovely Sarah. I can imagine her looking down on us all embracing this wonderful life we all have.
From the last shoot in my Liz Lewitt blue dress with trans black tights. Here showing my crazy Giaro 19cm wedge heels. The dress ripped during the shoot and was thrown out after as it was about 25 years old and the latex was dead.
Personal comment in view of recent events.....
Firstly, how are they going to enforce this new ruling as many look so convincing. Secondly, where do we go to ‘powder our noses’? Thirdly, how are they going to know that a trans woman isn’t a woman from birth? This has all been created by radical cis women, outspoken trans activists and a small minority of men, claiming to be trans, using it to their own devices! It’s not over by a long shot!
I'm no threat to anyone....... I just enjoy being me and presenting as such. x
Dettifoss is a waterfall in Vatnajökull National Park in Northeast Iceland, and is reputed to be the most powerful waterfall in Europe. It is situated on the Jökulsá á Fjöllum river, which flows from the Vatnajökull glacier and collects water from a large area in Northeast Iceland. The falls are 100 metres wide and have a drop of 45 metres down to the Jökulsárgljúfur canyon. It is the largest waterfall in Europe in terms of volume discharge, having an average water flow of 193 m3/s. [from Wikipedia]

.... of Mansour Rahbani
Veteran Lebanese composer and musician Mansour Rahbani, a well-known figure in the Arab world, died on Tuesday after a battle with illness. He was 83.
He had been admitted to Hotel Dieu hospital for influenza and was moved to the intensive care unit following a bout of pneumonia. However, he passed away.
Rahbani was born in 1925 in the town of Antelias, north of Beirut.
He was the brother-in-law of Lebanese singing diva Fairuz, for whom he composed many poems and songs along with his older brother Assi. The two men were known as "the Rahbani Brothers."
Rahbani's funeral will be held Friday afternoon. (naharnet.com)
More about the Rahbani:
The Rahbanian singing theatre is considered a unique form, which differs somewhat from the international standard for operas. Their special style, known as the ‘Rahbani Theatre’, focuses on the values of dignity, truth, gracefulness, and the depth of its philosophical subjects in order to concentrate on the three main subjects of God, the Human Being, and the Land. Taking the Piccadilly Theatre in Beirut as its springboard, the Rahbani Theatre flew to the entirety of the Arab world, and gave distinguished performances in Jordan, Kuwait, Iraq, Egypt, the Arab Emirates, Syria, Tunisia, Morocco, Algeria and Libya, in addition to several artistic tours in the cities of London, Manchester, Paris, Rio de Janeiro, Sao Paulo, Buenos Aires, twelve American states and Canada.
The writings of the Rahbani Theatre are concerned with history, the country, the land, the future, and of course the fate of the poor and common people, with special emphasis on Lebanese folklore. The Rahbani Theatre also tackles the various socio-political problems of the Arab world, as shown in the Brothers’ numerous songs about the crises of Palestine and Algeria. The Rahbani Theatre has succeeded in introducing a new generation of singers, who went on to become famous stars in the Arab world.
The Rahbani’s repertoire includes plays, poems and melodies that were introduced in the study programs of famous universities around the world, including the Sorbonne, Harvard, Oxford, as well as universities in Lebanon and the Arab world. The Rahbani Brothers have also extended their activities to the world of cinema, and composed the music for three illustrious films: Biyaa el Khawatem (The Ring Seller), Safar Barlek (Exile), and Bent el Hares (The Guardian’s Daughter). Following the death of his brother, Mansour wrote and produced grand theatrical plays, including Summer 840, The Will, The Last Days of Socrates, He Rose on the 3rd Day, The Maronite Mass, Abu Tayeb al Mutanabbi, Moulouk al Tawaef, The Last Day, Hekm al Rehyan, Gibran and the Prophet, Zenobia, and today The Return of the Phoenix.
Master Bomba JesusCepeda....
and he is not a conga player. He plays a different instrument, although quite similar, named a "barril". These specific instruments are used in the genre of music called "Bomba", and are made differently and are played differently than regular congas.
This is just the 'tip of the iceberg', although it is quite difficult to find good information about Bomba on the internet. I hope this mail shed some new light on what you think about this man. He may not be a "congero", but he is certainly a master. Master of masters and teacher of teachers, one of the oldest members of the Cepeda family still playing authenctic Bomba today. Your photography does him justice, and captures him in his essence, one with the music.
If you want to know more, you can visit the following site:
My man is in his zone... listening and talking to the music... He's doing this with his hands... hitting skins...
I shot this outdoors... I think I was using my 18mm - 200mm... I was close... i wanted to shoot below his skin.................

About the Congas: Conga drums are tunable to different notes.... The original drums were tuned by adjusting knots and tension ropes on the drumhead, or, where the drum-heads were tacked or nailed to the top of the shell, by careful heating of the head. Modern congas use a screw-and-lug, tension head system which makes them easier to tune (or detune).
Have A Great Week!!!
