Bois du Breuil, Forest of Breuil. A rich forest, part of the commune of Équemauville and overlooking the communes (towns/villages) of Honfleur, Vasouy and Pennedepie as well as the River Seine. It belonged to the Dukes of Normandy until 1204 when King Philippe Auguste conquered Normandy and the forest passed to the French kings. Located 4km from Honfleur, the Bois du Breuil is one of the rare forests on the coastline and is open to the public. This forest, covering 120 hectares, is the property of the Conservatoire du Littoral (Coastal Conservancy). Great variety of species (32 listed species including oak, beech, Scots pine and maritime pine), a fine population of naturalised rhododendrons, large 1,200m path lined with beech trees dating from 1850. Preserved natural wealth thanks to meticulous management in keeping with nature. Access via the RD62 (Equemauville-Pennedepie road). 2 car parks. Round trip, approximately 5km, offering superb views over the Seine bay. www.conservatoire-du-littoral.fr/siteLittoral/115/28-bois... and www.calvados-tourisme.co.uk/diffusio/en/discover/natural-...
It's not a particularly beautiful spot, this bridge-over at the crossing of Symonds Street and Wellesley. And it's rather a shock as you come out of pretty Albert Park just behind the university at the right. But this Art Installation by Francis Uprichard (1976-) is her fine attempt at not so much beautification as to take one's mind off ugliness.
It's called 'Loafers', and the name is perhaps tongue-in-cheek with regard to university students... As I stood here looking, though, none stopped to loaf but they seemed -heavily laden with notebooks of paper and electronics - intent on their tasks. The snake at the right... Is it a symbol of knowledge leading to perdition; think Paradise Lost... an end to loafing around in Eden and having now to toil for sustenance?
Ah! Interpretations and Over-interpretations!
Even in the mountains west of Tokyo, you cant escape the heat and humidity. It is summer after all.
Slicing through the Koma River valley below a Japanese graveyard is a limited express service bound for Chichibu, served by the stylish Seibu 001 Series. Designed by Kazuyo Sejima, and built by Hitachi in 2019, the 001's, also nicknamed "Laview", are used exclusively on limited express services between Ikebukuro and Chichibu in Saitama Pref. They boast some of the largest windows of any train in the world, nearly reaching from floor to ceiling. It really is a modern interpretation of style and function coexisting.

essendo un posto non adattissimo, ho preferito personalizzare questo scatto unico come se fosse un disegno. Notare l' esagerazione della via lattea.
There’s landscape – and then there’s architecture.
When the two come together as strikingly as they do in the chapel by Staab Architekten in Kesselostheim (Bavarian Swabia!), I can’t help but feel the urge to capture it in an image.
Clouds. Vastness. Contrast.
A perfect setting for a black and white interpretation – minimal, crisp, atmospheric. And the best part: despite it being a late Sunday afternoon, I had the whole site to myself. A rare luxury. It gave me the chance to explore the chapel at my own pace and find my personal composition.
It reminded me once again just how much joy black and white photography brings me these days – especially because it doesn’t require shooting in the middle of the night during blue hour. Sometimes, it's enough to just head out in the afternoon, observe, feel, and create.
Oh, and by the way – this was my third chapel out of seven so far. Let’s see what’s still to come...
Walking along one of the canals in the beautiful Belgian city of Ghent, you may notice, if you look up the high brick wall on the other side of the street, this dark menacing sculpture.
There is no info on what the sculpture name is, or who the sculptor was - at least not on the wall. I could find nothing worth attention about it on the Internet either... yet I think I know what it is about. Isn't the trumpet the Angel holds in his hand one of the seven trumpets sounded to cue apocalyptic events, as described in the Book of Revelation? I think it is, considering that just over 100 years ago, in the midst of the World War I, a new kind of weapon, mustard agent, was deployed in the field, not far from the city of Ypres located less than 50 miles west of here. (Yes, there, in Flanders fields where the poppies grow). Thus begun the infamous era of chemical warfare... Isn't the Angel wearing gas mask to protect himself from it?
Since then, humans made an impressive progress in inventing creative ways of killing other humans. I think this unsettling image is not just about the past. Yes, it is about Remembrance - but it is also about today, and the future. Angels of Death are mostly invisible - but omnipresent. They are waiting for opportunities to blow their trumpets. Remember that.
P.S. Thanks to Hans Holt who let me know that the statue is called De Zuiveringsengel, and it has been created by Tom Frantzen.

A snowflake that doesn’t know what it wants to be! This intriguing snowflake has a shape that is battling between branches and a solid plate shape, and you can clearly see where the lines of battle have been drawn. View large!
As you’ve seen so far in this series, the tiniest snowflakes always have a way of being enigmatic and interesting. Maybe it’s the lack of complexity that allows us to focus on specific features, or maybe it’s that smaller snowflakes contain smaller details that we can more easily see and be curious about. In this case, there’s a mystery to solve!
The upper-right-most branch holds the story of the branching while the lower-left tells us how the crystal stays as a plate. In the former, we can identify a crystal split. The snowflake divides itself into two new planes when a cavity forms in the ice, a very common occurrence. What’s odd here is that the bottom plate grows the branch at the tip, but the rest of the bottom plate falls behind the top plate in growth. This might be a case where the knife-edge instability comes into play.
I don’t fully understand the physics (I’m a geeky photographer, not a physicist), but when a snowflake is incredibly thin, the growth can accelerate. If the bubble/cavity that cut the snowflake in half changed its thickness just at the tip, it could propel the tip into a branch-like growth without causing the same rapid growth to the rest of the crystal facets. It’s unusual, but not the first time I’ve seen it – something must behave slightly differently at the corner to evoke this behaviour.
On the other side of the snowflake, we see a very solid hexagonal shape, but the ghosts of branches are hidden closer to the center. How does this happen? Again, I’m not entirely sure. I love these mysteries! I believe the best explanation would be this: As the branches began to form, the growth of the top plate was keeping pace, likely due to the direction that the snowflake was falling. The same physics that made the branch grow faster than the edges of the underside are at play, but with more water vapour building up the top plate, it kept pace with the branching, and eventually overpowered it. As soon as any one plane of growth as the advantage of growing farther out, it chokes out the growth of the competition.
Again, my ideas are just the theories of a man who has studied snowflake growth for the fun of it, and has witnessed many thousands of these crystals to see how they grow. It’s open to interpretation – and I welcome yours!
For more musings on snowflakes and the most detailed photographic tutorial on the subject you’ll ever see, consider a copy of Sky Crystals: www.skycrystals.ca/book/ - it’s a great winter companion for any photographer or naturalist. Winter can be more tolerable when you ponder the mysteries in a single snowflake.

When I took this photo about a year ago, I had no idea of its significance other than a leaf from a tree had fallen and had been stuck between the steels of a fence.
I did not think this photo would come to life one day in my dream. It was not about the fence itself but rather the lack of it.
I dreamed the other day that all the fences in my backyard were dug out and removed leaving nothing but deep trenches along the property line. I think there is a very powerful message behind this image to what my dream represents.
My book of dreams tells me that the fence represents some kind of barrier or obstacle. Since it is at my backyard, most likely it is at home. Its removal means a division or obstacle is removed. Now it is open for many interpretations? What is your interpretation?

A rare but favorite version of this song:
A British idiom, meaning "there are much worse things than this". Probably owing its origin to the reputation of the sea as a place of disasters, wrecks and death.
Native English speakers offer another interpretation, that's to say "It is not that bad". This is a more optimistic interpretation.
This reminds me of the Engineer's Consolation, namely
"you can't fall off the floor" .

This bolder is literally centimetres away from the heart of the Strid. (For those of you that don’t know the Strid, it’s a short length of water only a few meters wide that the rather sizeable river Wharfe is forced to go through).
For me this image speaks for itself, so I’m going to let you come up with your own interpretations...
This is one of those images, I think, that is subject to the viewer's interpretation. I'd really love to know what anyone has to say or thinks about it. (:

The famous enface photography of Nick Cave by Anton Corbijn (at Rotterdam's museum)
I took these two photographs of it from the extremely right and left angle.
I was fascinated by the original photography and was trying to find out why... then... those angles opened up the magical layers of it.
This is an artistic interpretation edit. The original shot was taken at midday in Statthes harbour on a chilly grey day. This year I have taught myself luminosity masking in PS and decided to let my imagination run wild as I love this composition.
Damp and misty mornings make very good seittings for woodlands.
i try to replicate 'what the eye can see' because with a single exposure cannot do this, however good your camera is.
The human eye captures so much detail, highlights and contrast at the same time.
I use PS for what it was meant to be used for, and that is 'to replicate what the eye can see.

Excerpt from Wikipedia:
Red Bay is a fishing village and former site of several Basque whaling stations on the southern coast of Labrador in the Province of Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada. Between 1530 and the early 17th century, Red Bay was a major Basque whaling area. The site is home to three Basque whaling galleons and four small chalupas used in the capture of whales. The discovery of these vessels makes Red Bay one of the most precious underwater archaeological sites in the Americas. Since June 2013 it is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Between 1550 and the early 17th century, Red Bay, known as Balea Baya (Whale Bay), was a centre for Basque whaling operations. Sailors from southern France and northern Spain sent 15 whaleships and 600 men a season to the remote outpost on the Strait of Belle Isle to try to catch the right whale and bowhead whales that populated the waters there, according to Memorial University of Newfoundland.
In 1565, a ship—believed to be San Juan—sank in the waters off Red Bay during a storm. Other, smaller vessels, such as chalupas, have also been recovered from the waters.
Another galleon was found 25–35 feet below water in 2004. It was the fourth trans-oceanic ship to have been found in the area.
A cemetery on nearby Saddle Island holds the remains of 140 whalers. Many of the people buried there are thought to have died from drowning and exposure.
Historians believe that a decline in whale stocks eventually led to the abandonment of the whaling stations in Red Bay. Today, an interpretive centre in Red Bay explains the history to visitors.
Red Bay has been designated a National Historic Site of Canada since 1979, and since 2013 it is one of Canada's UNESCO World Heritage Sites.
The Centro de Interpretação Ambiental da Caldeira Velha (Environmental Interpretation Centre of Caldeira Velha) is located outside of the city of Ribeira Grande on São Miguel Island in the Azores. The area contains a lot of geothermal activity including geothermal pools visitors can bathe in.

No, I didn't decorate these. They came from a local bakery. Thing was? I didn't even get to taste them. Harumph!

There are gannets in this photo ... both flying and on the ground ... but the sea stack where thousands of them are congregated is slightly behind me and to the left as I took this photograph.
In the background you can see the Dr. Leslie M. Tulk Interpretation Center for the Cape St. Mary's Ecological Reserve and the Cape St. Mary's lighthouse.
As you can see, the cliffs are quite high and they are pretty much the same where I am standing. The trail from the Center to the viewing area where I shot this photograph follows along the edge of the cliffs most of the way. The views are spectacular!
This small collection is made of different interpretations of the same image. I was experimenting with arty looks.
The source image is an in-camera multiple-exposure of beach loungers at Koukanaries Beach on Skiathos in Greece. This subject gave me a lot of fun when we were there earlier in the year. The beach is very popular with the tourists as you can tell from the loungers, but rather than having row upon row of tourist hotels behind it, it has some protected pine forests. I just hope they haven’t burnt down in a wildfire!
The multiple exposure is made of two ICMs using horizontal and vertical swipe movements. The colour version of the scene is the closest to the original. It’s only been lightly processed with Nik Color Efex.
The monochrome version is for the Donnerstagsmonocrom group today and was created using black and white solarisation, also in Color Efex. It’s been lightly toned in deep blue (selenium). Quite a lot of work went into it (messing around and tweaking this and that) trying to get some interesting arty textures from the underlying image.
The third is a triptych using Nik Analog Efex. I’ve never really used this particular filter before (multi-lens) so it was a bit of an experiment. It was quite interesting to try and create a balanced composition with the rotations and stretches - I’m not sure I made it there but this is where I abandoned the endeavour. You can play spot-the-original-source with each of the blocks I guess .
Thanks for taking the time to look and read. I hope you enjoy the images. Happy Thursday :)

I want to give another layer to the paintings that I select to collage over. I try to give my own interpretation to the painting without denigrating the original.
Painting:
Virgin Annunicate 1475

Palermo, Galleria Nazionale della Sicilia
In this sculptural interpretation of Inuvialuit oral tradition, Piqtoukun highlights concepts of spiritual flight of creativity. Referring to shamans who flew to the moon, this piece depicts a female figure who was not born or initiated as a shaman, yet arduously trained and persisted until able to achieve cosmic flight. The artist reminds us that anything is possible, and expresses the sense of euphoria one gets from achieving a rare accomplishment.
"Take me to the trees"... that's where I like to be!... a little artistc interpretation of a wonderful snowshoe hike this winter
I do like a bit of a sculpture here and there, for me this is one of the best ones I have come across. I have no interest in the reason behind it being commissioned, I have my own interpretation of the meaning behind it, and that is the thing with art, every piece of art, every single exhibit will be perceived by the viewer in a different way.
