The astonishing thing about the human being is not so much his intellect and bodily structure, profoundly mysterious as they are. The astonishing and least comprehensible thing about him is his range of vision; his gaze into the infinite distance; his lonely passion for ideas and ideals.
~ William (W.) MacNeile Dixon, The Human Situation (1937)
A famous Canadian photographer named Freeman Patterson once quipped that good photography was not a matter of the
distance you were willing to travel. Rather, it was about seeing what was around you. In his book he mentions that the majority of his work was taken less than a kilometer from his house.
“Seeing, in the finest and broadest sense, means using your senses, your intellect, and your emotions. It means encountering your subject matter with your whole being. It means looking beyond the labels of things and discovering the remarkable world around you.”
― Freeman Patterson
There are moments when seduction is not spoken… it is worn.

When I slip into the Wet Mini by Oh! Fashion, I do not simply dress — I become invitation and restraint at once. The fabric clings like a second pulse, a whisper of ribbed knit that skims my curves with deliberate intention. It is short, yes… daringly so… but it is not reckless. It is strategic.
💧
From the front, the neckline dips into a soft plunge — not crude, but coaxing — tracing the natural arc of my collarbone before surrendering to the fullness of my form. The thin straps balance delicacy with tension, holding everything in a quiet equilibrium between exposure and control. The silhouette narrows at my waist, honoring that ancient hourglass shape — the architecture of femininity — before rounding into the swell of my hips.
🌸
Turn me around, and the art becomes even more intentional. The back dips low, revealing the curve of spine and the subtle hollow just above my hips — that place where a man’s hands instinctively rest. The hem grazes the top of my thighs, framing them, elongating them, daring the eye to linger. Wet is not about covering… it is about revealing with purpose.
️
There is something primal in the female mind — something older than language. Beneath the layers of intellect and modern polish lies instinct: to attract, to choose, to surrender only when it feels right. To feel seen. To feel desired. To decide.
When I wear Wet, I am not submissive. I am aware. I understand the quiet biological poetry written into my bones — the rhythm of attraction, the dance of continuation, the ancient pull toward creation. The desire to be chosen and to choose in return. To soften without weakening. To yield without losing power.
🔥
This dress delivers that paradox.
Its PBR brilliance gives the knit a luminous, almost dewy realism — as though kissed by mist or sea air. The HUD is a masterpiece in itself: an array of saturated tones from blush pink to aqua frost, smoky neutrals to bold romantic hues. Each color shifts the mood — innocent, playful, commanding. Transparency options allow me to decide how much I reveal: subtle sheer, daring wet-look translucence, or fully opaque confidence. Wet or dry. Innocent or incendiary. The choice is always mine.

The term nous (rhymes with “juice”) is important in Orthodox spirituality and the Fathers. Nous originally referred simply to the intellect, the means by which one could apprehend truth. In the New Testament, St. Paul often used nous in its ordinary Greek cultural sense of “mind.” The Fathers of the Church also used the word nous and other terms from Greek culture and philosophy; however, through their use in the Church, these terms acquired a specific Christian meaning. Among the Fathers, nous became a theological “term of art”—in other words, it has a specific and specialized meaning.
Nous has been defined and described in various ways. In Orthodox theology, nous refers not to the rational operation of the mind but to that part of the soul that allows the human person to know God, “the purest part of the soul, the eye of the soul.”2 “Man has two centers of knowing: the nous, which is the appropriate organ for receiving the revelation of God that is later put into words through the reason, and the reason which knows the sensible world around us.”
The Fathers frequently referred to the nous, and it has a very specific role in theology according to their experience and understanding. The Fathers rejected the idea that one could acquire knowledge of God by discursive reasoning (dianoia). True knowledge of God is gained through purification of the intellect (nous), and this comes about only with prayer. A famous statement known to all Orthodox theologians is, “The true theologian is one who prays.” A purified intellect grows in its knowledge of God through spiritual experience, not through dialectical reasoning, application of philosophical techniques, or the acquisition of mental skills. “The knowledge of reason is consequently of lower order than spiritual knowledge, apprehension or perception [of divine truth], which is the function of the intellect [nous] and is beyond the scope of reason.”

Curiositas is that vain and illusory knowledge which is really ignorance, because it is the exercise of our intellect not in search of truth but merely to flatter our own self-satisfaction and pride.

If anyone in this work has an objection to being in it, please let me know and I will delete it, or try and change it thank you. Hopefully, when you understand the reason for this work you will not object.
After researching a little I have chosen the colours red,
Red = Love, Passion, Strength, Power, Danger, Excitement, Energy.
Orange, Orange = Warmth, Creativity, Adventure, Freshness, Happiness, Attraction, Success. Yellow,
Yellow = Optimism, Cheer, Happiness, Warmth, Caution, Energy, Intellect.
Green, Green = Nature, Growth, Wealth, Luck, Envy, Freshness, Quality. Blue,
Blue = Trust, Calm, Sadness, Peace, Loyalty, Depth, Authenticity. Purple, Purple = Royalty, Nobility, Wisdom, Luxury, Imagination, Mystery, Spirituality. White, White = Purity, Simplicity, Innocence, Peace, Cleanliness, Emptiness, Goodness and black, Black = Sophistication, Formality, Sorrow, Boldness, Elegance, Death, Mystery. Also, the infinity symbol which I have used in plain black, and also all of the colours above, gives you an appreciation of what I am trying to portray. I chose the abstract circles because the circle is considered the symbol of unity. In my circles I have abstract people living, working, and playing together in unity. I hope that my message comes across clearly, that I desire all people to enjoy friendships with everyone despite their differences. We can learn so much from each other's differences and become better people for it as well as a close-knit community, which is surely better than hate, division, and war! Food for thought, my friends.
With heartfelt and genuine thanks for your kind visit. Have a
beautiful day, be well, keep your eyes open, appreciate the beauty surrounding you, enjoy creating, stay safe, and laugh often! ❤️❤️❤️
1501-1504.
Young biblical hero in meditative pose who, with the help of God, defeats an enemy more powerful than him. An almost imperceptible sling emphasizes the victory of innocence and intellect over brute force.
The sling and the stone were covered with gold leaf, but the sculpture was installed in Piazza della Signoria and the golden details were removed by the action of time.
The original position of the statue would be on one of the buttresses of the Duomo of Santa Maria dei Fiori. However the final result of the work was so exceptional that a commission was set up to discuss the fate of the work. Names such as Leonardo da Vinci - who defended the positioning of the work on the Loggia of Piazza della Signoria - and Boticelli - that defended its original position were part of this commission.
***
“For in it may be seen most beautiful contours of legs, with attachments of limbs and slender outlines of flanks that are divine; nor has there ever been seen a pose so easy, or any grace to equal that in this work, or feet, hands and head so well in accord, one member with another, in harmony, design, and excellence of artistry”.
Giorgio Vasari, from his “Lives of the most excellent painters, sculptors and architects”.
From March trip in 2011, original image updated with Topaz Sharpen AI. Very impressed with the new software. Carmen and I had the opportunity to be in the Ocean with the Sperm Whales off Dominica in the wild blue Caribbean. To feel their echo location "sonar" in your chest and to see in their eye the clear intellect of a being totally in harmony with their environment is to gather a glimmer of what life in the ocean means to our planet.
This image is being released for the first time, I've kept it to myself up til now. For my photographer friends; 1/200 at f19, iso320 at 15mm.

Marble, ht. Cm 516,7
1502-1504
“Nor has there ever been seen a pose so fluent, or a gracefulness equal to this, or feet, hands and head so well related to each other with quality, skill and design”. With these words Giorgio Vasari attempts to define the reasons behind the marvel that the vision of David provokes in the observer. He continues by stating that statue so far surpasses both in beauty and technique ancient and modern statuary that one needn’t bother seeing other works in sculpture.
At the end of 1501, Michelangelo obtained the permission of the opera del Duomo to work a block of marble which had been abandoned in the courtyard of the Cathedral of Florence for the creation of the figure of the young hero, subsequently placed in front of Palazzo Vecchio in Piazza Signoria.
It has always been a subject of debate among scholars whether David is represented before or after his victory over Goliath. His sling is also barely visible as though to emphasise how David owed his victory not to brutal force, but to his intellect and to his innocence. As soon as it was placed in front of Palazzo Vecchio, the statue became a symbol of liberty and of civic pride for the Florentine Republic. Surrounded by hostile enemies, the city identified itself with the young hero who, with help of God, had defeated a much more powerful foe.
In 1873, Michelangelo’s statue was brought here to the Tribune of Galleria, built expressly for it and, only in 1908, was it substituted in Piazza Signoria by the marble copy still here today. The bronze copy found in Piazzale Michelangelo overlooking Florence was done in 1866.

Sadly, we have to leave the beach and travel to the last destination of this Indian trip. It was bittersweet for me. But along with spending time on a house boat, I wanted to revisit the beautiful city of Cochin.
Cochin is rich in history from the days of sea faring trade and despite adapting to modern technology it remains a charming and almost quaint city. Along the short journey to reach the city, there were many shops and beautiful handicrafts to buy.
I have now been to India four times. At first, the Hindu gods bewildered me. There are so many. Then some started to become familiar to me like old friends. I began to smile when I recognized them.
Ganesha is one of the best known deities in India. He is the god of beginnings and the deva of intellect and wisdom. He also is the patron of letters. He seems to do all of this effortlessly in this statue, doesn't he?
Every great Culture begins with a mighty theme that rises out of the pre-urban countryside, is carried through in the cities of art and intellect, and closes with a finale of materialism in the world cities.
- Oswald Spengler, Decline of The West (1926)
COLOUR ME COLOURS
Like the heavens and the skies
Like the deep seas so wide
When I am confident and true
When I have faith in you
Colour me blue, colour me blue
Like the royals of Great Britain
Like the noble in truth and ambition
In my wisdom, dignity and pride
In my mystery and grandeur so wise
Colour me purple, colour me purple
Like fire and blood
Like the intensity of a flood
In my strength and passion
In my desire, love and emotion
Colour me red, colour me RED
Like the warmth of the tropics
Like the sun, my daily tonic
When I am determined and creative
When I am happy and attractive
Colour me orange, colour me orange
Like a smile so warm
Like joy even in a storm
When I am cheerful and happy
In my intellect, when I am savvy
Colour me yellow, colour me yellow
When I am all these and more
When I am despised and adored
With the colours of the rainbow
With the colours that make me glow
Colour me colours, colour me colours
Poem by Ozioma Ogbaji
No one would have believed in the last years of the nineteenth century that this world was being watched keenly and closely by intelligences greater than man's and yet as mortal as his own; that as men busied themselves about their various concerns they were scrutinised and studied, perhaps almost as narrowly as a man with a microscope might scrutinise the transient creatures that swarm and multiply in a drop of water. With infinite complacency men went to and fro over this globe about their little affairs, serene in their assurance of their empire over matter. It is possible that the infusoria under the microscope do the same. No one gave a thought to the older worlds of space as sources of human danger, or thought of them only to dismiss the idea of life upon them as impossible or improbable. It is curious to recall some of the mental habits of those departed days. At most terrestrial men fancied there might be other men upon Mars, perhaps inferior to themselves and ready to welcome a missionary enterprise. Yet across the gulf of space, minds that are to our minds as ours are to those of the beasts that perish, intellects vast and cool and unsympathetic, regarded this earth with envious eyes, and slowly and surely drew their plans against us. And early in the twentieth century came the great disillusionment.
The opening chapter of The War of the Worlds
by H. G.
Red Weed is the plant that supposedly gives Mars its dull red colour. It is one of the several types of plants brought to Earth possibly accidentally by the invading Martians, but the only one that truly was able to adapt and grow widespread on Earth. When it is exposed to water, it grows and reproduces explosively, flooding the neighboring countryside as it clogs streams and rivers.
Sisyphe au vingt-et-unième siècle
Ascète Sisyphe homérique,
Réclusionnaire en Tartare,
Pour Asopos ton entraide,
De belle Egine retrouvée
Zeus en rancune colérique,
De Thanatos de toi roublard,
De ce rocher pente raide,
D'enfer sans trêve répéter.
Du nihiliste Sisyphe,
De Camus désenchaînera,
Une raison de délivrance,
De nietzschéenne doctrine
De l'abîme, sorti des griffes,
De ta vie recommencera,
Chaque jour de vie abondance,
Ton coeur, bonheur en vitrine.
Le Sisyphe contemporain,
Triste siècle de déraison,
Même ici sans incongruité,
Juste pour désir de liberté,
Plus n'être encore le suzerain,
Du canevas de sa raison,
Trimer dans les limbes tapés,
D'une société erronée.
Une absurde vie servile,
Un job sans considération,
Qui profite à un ordre,
De chevillards de l'intellect,
Tous Sisyphe dans nos villes,
Se battre sans exaltation,
Tâchez de fuir la horde,
De cette vie de bagne abject.
Michaël Overberg
To my women with the utmost respect, intellect
We often forget and neglect intuition can see through illusive intent, listen to it
Just listen, just listen, oh
I found myself searching for a way to prevent, the detriment
And giving the impression that if you express to him what a woman needs
His comprehension is definite
But there’s a difference between understanding and honoring your word
And I’m articulate, he’s a good listener
But I’m hesitant ’cause he’s gonna fuck up anyways
(adj.) *«Frette»:
1. French canadian slang word (pronounced fret)......If you don't know what this word means here is how to find out.........look at this image a few seconds and what you feel is what it is!..........and it also means that you don't live in Quebec!
Feeling the «frette»!, Frozen waves on the St-Lawrence River, Quebec, Canada.

"I am out in public and using the phone. I am in a phone booth, got the phone in my hand and a man taps on the glass and says, 'You using the phone?' Nope, I'm superman, I am just looking for my costume. Here's your sign!"

The old, vintage phone booth above was photographed just outside the River City Café (which can be seen in the background and is a great place to grab lunch or dinner) in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina.
Three bracketed photos were taken with a handheld Nikon D7200 and combined with Photomatix Pro to create this HDR image. Additional adjustments were made in Photoshop CS6.

In this context, there's no disrespect
So, when I bust my rhyme, you break your necks
We got five minutes for us to disconnect
From all intellect collect the rhythm effect
Obstacles are inefficient
Follow your intuition, free your inner soul
And break away from tradition
'Cause when we beat out, girl it's pullin' without
You wouldn't believe how we wow shit out
We burn it 'til it's burned out
Turn it 'til it's turned out
Act up from north, west, east, south
Everybody, everybody, let's get into it
Get stupid
Get retarded,

"Sueños y abstracciones"
Cómo en un cuadro de Kandinsky , transmitir un sentimiento a través de la música que refleje la unión, entre un rítmo único, abducente, melódico, hipnotizante, mediante un "lenguaje" prodigioso y fascinante para conseguir ese "equilibrio cromático" entre la jerga de la abstracción y los sueños "pigmentados", es de grandes intelectos y de genios.
"Dreams and abstractions"
Like in a painting by Kandinsky, transmit a feeling through music that reflects the union between a unique rhythm, abducent, melodic, hypnotizing through a prodigious and fascinating "language" to achieve that "chromatic balance" between the jargon of abstraction and "pigmented" dreams, is of great intellects and geniuses.
"Rêves et abstractions"
Comme dans un tableau de Kandinsky, transmettez une sensation à travers une musique qui reflète l'union entre un rythme unique, abducent, mélodique, hypnotisant et un "langage" prodigieux et fascinant pour atteindre cet "équilibre chromatique" entre le jargon de l'abstraction et des rêves "pigmentés", est de grands esprits et de génies.
"Sogni e astrazioni"
Come in un dipinto di Kandinsky, trasmettere un sentimento attraverso la musica che riflette l'unione tra un ritmo unico, abduttivo, melodico, ipnotizzante attraverso un "linguaggio" prodigioso e affascinante per raggiungere quel "equilibrio cromatico" tra il gergo di astrazione e sogni "pigmentati", è di grandi intelletti e geni.

In a whimsical clash of urban and rural worlds, a curious border collie finds itself standing guard over an unexpected bunch of city raccoons who have laid claim to the garden shed. Amidst the lush greenery of the garden, with trees swaying gently in the breeze and barrels and pots scattered about, the scene is one of delightful chaos. The border collie, with its keen intellect and playful spirit, eyes the raccoons with a mixture of curiosity and bemusement, unsure whether to bark in defense or join in the mischief. It's a comical tale of city meets garden, where even the most unexpected encounters can lead to laughter and lightheartedness.

One more shot from Pfeiffer State Beach. Took this one as I reached the beach when I got about 2 minutes to shoot the bridge head on without anyone walking through the frame. I like this shot a little better than the one where the sun is setting through the arch.

What is useless and destructive is to imagine that enlightenment or virtue can be found by seeking for fresh stimulation. The monastic life is a refusal of any view that will make human maturity before God dependent on external stimulus, ‘good thoughts’, good impressions, edifying influences and ideas, Instead, the monk must learn to live with his own darkness, with the interior horror of temptation and fantasy. Salvation affects the whole of the psyche; to try to escape boredom, sexual frustration, restlessness, unsatisfied desire by searching for fresh tasks and fresh ideas is to attempt to seal off these areas from grace. Without the humiliating and wholly ‘unspiritual’ experiences of cell-life –the limited routine of trivial tasks, the sheer tedium and loneliness –there would be no way of confronting much of human nature. It is a discipline to destroy illusions. The monk has come to the desert to escape the illusory Christian identity proposed by the world; he now has to see the roots of illusion in himself, in his longing to be dramatically and satisfyingly in control of his life, the old familiar imperialism of the self bolstered by the intellect.

The Reality – I wanted to show the reality that dominates not only the life of this primate, but our lives also. We are the prisoners of our biology and our limited intellect. The evanescent nature of our short lives and hopelessness in the face of imminent death, defines our ultimate limitation. The constrains imposed by our crude society, religion, economy and other factors of human civilization, draws me to see the great cage similar to this one, which holds this fellow and will be the place of his death. In the future, things may change for the better – I see the signs. But our generation may not be able to profit from the changes that will come. Like the countless people that came before us, death will catch up with all of us who lives in the present. It is the ultimate cage and ultimate limiter of life. This is “The Reality”.
