Sagrada Família, Barcelona, España.
El Templo Expiatorio de la Sagrada Familia, conocido simplemente como la Sagrada Familia, es una basílica católica de Barcelona (España), diseñada por el arquitecto Antoni Gaudí. Iniciada en 1882, todavía está en construcción (noviembre de 2016). Es la obra maestra de Gaudí, y el máximo exponente de la arquitectura modernista catalana.
La Sagrada Familia es un reflejo de la plenitud artística de Gaudí: trabajó en ella durante la mayor parte de su carrera profesional, pero especialmente en los últimos años de su carrera, donde llegó a la culminación de su estilo naturalista, haciendo una síntesis de todas las soluciones y estilos probados hasta aquel entonces. Gaudí logró una perfecta armonía en la interrelación entre los elementos estructurales y los ornamentales, entre plástica y estética, entre función y forma, entre contenido y continente, logrando la integración de todas las artes en un todo estructurado y lógico.
La Sagrada Familia tiene planta de cruz latina, de cinco naves centrales y transepto de tres naves, y ábside con siete capillas. Ostenta tres fachadas dedicadas al Nacimiento, Pasión y Gloria de Jesús y, cuando esté concluida, tendrá 18 torres: cuatro en cada portal haciendo un total de doce por los apóstoles, cuatro sobre el crucero invocando a los evangelistas, una sobre el ábside dedicada a la Virgen y la torre-cimborio central en honor a Jesús, que alcanzará los 172,5 metros de altura. El templo dispondrá de dos sacristías junto al ábside, y de tres grandes capillas: la de la Asunción en el ábside y las del Bautismo y la Penitencia junto a la fachada principal; asimismo, estará rodeado de un claustro pensado para las procesiones y para aislar el templo del exterior. Gaudí aplicó a la Sagrada Familia un alto contenido simbólico, tanto en arquitectura como en escultura, dedicando a cada parte del templo un significado religioso.

The Sagrada Familia is a reflection of Gaudí's artistic plenitude: he worked on it for most of his professional career, but especially in his later years, where he reached the culmination of his naturalistic style, synthesizing all the solutions and styles he had tried up to that point. Gaudí achieved perfect harmony in the interrelationship between structural and ornamental elements, between plasticity and aesthetics, between function and form, between content and container, achieving the integration of all the arts into a structured and logical whole. The Sagrada Familia has a Latin cross plan, five central naves, a three-aisled transept, and an apse with seven chapels. It boasts three façades dedicated to the Birth, Passion, and Glory of Jesus. When completed, it will have 18 towers: four at each portal, making a total of twelve for the apostles, four over the transept invoking the evangelists, one over the apse dedicated to the Virgin, and the central dome tower in honor of Jesus, which will reach 172.5 meters in height. The temple will have two sacristies next to the apse and three large chapels: the Assumption Chapel in the apse and the Baptism and Penance Chapels next to the main façade. It will also be surrounded by a cloister designed for processions and to isolate the temple from the exterior. Gaudí applied a highly symbolic content to the Sagrada Familia, both in architecture and sculpture, dedicating each part of the temple to a religious significance.
This door gives access to the Oda Chapel, dedicated to Saint Oda and Saint Appolonia. The chapel owes its name to these saints. According to tradition, after many wanderings on the run from her father, Oda would eventually have arrived in Boshoven, where her stay was betrayed by a magpie, after which she would have gone to Sint-Oedenrode. Oda is invoked against eye diseases. Apollonia is invoked against toothaches (though I would advise you to go to docter...).
The chapel was restored in the 1980s and is now a national monument. The chapel is open on weekends for visitors and reflection. Masses are celebrated in February, May and November. The chapel can also be reserved for wedding masses, baptisms and other celebrations.

“At the Top” of Burj Khalifa, the tallest building in the world
… invoking my photo Metropolis from Tokyo 5 years ago …
It’s been a flurry of travels and fleeting impressions … hope all is well in the FlickrVerse
The big open space on the left is a little uncomfortable to me, I want to add text or something. But I thought about that and wondered if it might be better to leave it blank. Allow space to wander and wonder why is there a big space there and why do I feel like I need to fill it?
Maybe I just need to slow down and rest some more in thought and perhaps invoke some conscious dreaming. While I stare, the spider web grabs my attention and leads me back to the wide open space. I notice the gap between my thoughts and breathe out deeply. My shoulders drop as unconscious tension subsides.
Thanks Spidey!

The Nougugawa (農具川) river may look like a canal but it is a natural river that rises in Lake Aoki, flows through Lake Nakatsuna and Lake Kizaki, and finally joins the Takasegawa river. It is important as a source of canals that feed the rice paddies in Oomachi and Ikeda.
Susuki (Silvergrass, Miscanthus sinensis) is a plant in the grass family native to East Asia. It is known as an invasive species in North America. Susuki is a popular plant for Japanese paintings to invokes a rustic mood on the riverside.
It is also a material for thatched roofs (茅葺き屋根 Kayabuki Yane) of traditional wooden houses.
The punctum points to those features of a photograph that seem to produce or convey a meaning without invoking any recognizable symbolic system. This kind of meaning is unique to the response of the individual viewer of the image. The punctum punctuates the studium and as a result pierces its viewer. To allow the punctum effect, the viewer must repudiate all knowledge. Barthes insists that the punctum is not simply the sum of desires projected into the photograph. Instead, it arises from details that are unintended or uncontrolled by the photographer. Source Museum of educatuion.

Saptami Mahapuja is celebrated on the seventh day of NavratriIt is also called Maha Saptami Puja as on this day, the 7th form of Maa Durga is invoked in the morning with Navpatrika ..
মহাসপ্তমীর পুণ্য তিথিতে মা এর আশীর্বাদ সর্বদা তোমার সাথে থাকুক…. শুভ মহা সপ্তমী
“শরত তোমার অরুণ আলোর অঞ্জলি..” -রবীন্দ্রনাথ ঠাকুর
আশ্বিনের এই শারদ-প্রাতে দিনগুলি হয়ে উঠুক আরো আনন্দ-মুখর.. শুভ সপ্তমীর প্রীতি ও শুভেচ্ছা..
নীল আকাশে মেঘ সরিয়ে,
মায়ের রথ আসছে এগিয়ে,
পুজোর হাওয়ায় ভাসলো মন্,
ঢাকের কাঠি বাজলো যখন।
শুভ সপ্তমী।
কাশ ফুলের সুবাস যখন লাগলো এসে মনে,
দুষ্টুমি ভরা হারানো ছেলেবেলা খুজেঁ পাই প্রানে,
সব চিন্তা থেকে মুক্তি মিলবে তখন
যখন দুর্গতি নাশিনী মায়ের হবে আগমন্।
শুভ মহা সপ্তমী।
"Lies!
She is alive!
Beneath the ice
Only darkest mirrors crack this
Curse
And I, immersed
Invoke the worst
Blackest Magick put to practice"
I love simplicity, but thoughts are complicated, sometimes you need a complicated image to invoke your thoughts at that moment. The story behind this image is to reflect what an artist sees through another artist's work.
It is very hard not to capture other bystanders in a public display. I took many shots with my tripod and use Photoshop Stack to remove all the other point and shooters but this photographer. He just stood there for a long time and appeared on most of my frames. So I put him back on this image to reflect his admiration at that frozen moment.
the rise of Artificial Intelligence is something we all should be aware of and maybe weary of since we are dabbling with the unknown here in matters of potential outcomes of this development we have kicked off. I use to think of our Robotics Industries and Labs as a kind of Goethe's Wizard's Apprentice: Invoking spirits that we may no be able to tame and deal with.
Happy Sliders Easter Sunday!

OH WOW!!! This place completely blew me away when I visited it in the rain recently. Having walked down the steep steps via the boardwalk to the wooden viewing platform, I immediately knew that the shot that I wanted was further forward. Thankfully I decided to wear wellies and boy did they sure come in handy.
The sheer thunderous roar of all that water tipping over the 30 metre rocky edge invoked a sense of amazement but it was the view of the waterfall though the surrounding trees that won me over for they helped to frame the main subject perfectly.

Sweet torrents of Death
Oh engulfing ruin
Every fall is a soul
For Belial
In sinless guilt rushing
Blasts of yokeless glory
To and fro - Red ascension
Collecting souls
For Belial
For Belial
And as our voice uncovers
Another soul to the stream
Another soul devoured
For Belial
Oh lawless angel we approach thee
In the form of proudest shame
We thy children - here assembled
Now thy promised blessing claim
Promised blessing claim
Lord of arrogance - lord of pride
Fling thy unrestrained nets thrice
And let the rivers of the under world
Swiftly to the surface rise
Oh spirit of darkness we invoke thee
In the name of all things depraved
We thy servants - here forgathered
Now thy promised blessing claim
Promised blessing claim
Sweet torrents of death
Oh engulfing ruin
Every fall is a soul
For Belial
For Belial
For Belial
Angels of sweed
Ever rising decline
Every slip is a soul
For Belial
For Belial
For Belial
In sinless guilt rushing
Blasts of yokeless glory
To and fro - Red ascension
Collecting souls
For Belial
For Belial
And as our voice uncovers
Another soul to the stream
Another soul devoured
For Belial

Now, let's listen .
Let your name flow off my tongue, as rivers flow into their own mouths. Let your love part my thighs, as the Sun parts the horizon when it wakes. Let your worship cling to my skirts, as the Moon clings to its starlight.
Swallow it down, invoke me.
The Macro Monday theme today is “Printed Word”. My image is a photograph of a list of spells from the “Dungeons and Dragons” players handbook (proving conclusively my nerd status). The light in the foreground is of course from invoking the “Dancing Lights” spell (or it could be Photoshop … lol).
Happy Macro Monday everyone!
The Lazzaretto of Ancona, also called the Mole Vanvitelliana, is a pentagonal 18th-century building built on an artificial island as a quarantine station for the port town of Ancona, Italy.
The island is now connected to the mainland by three bridges. The building was commissioned by Pope Clement XII, designed by the architect Luigi Vanvitelli, and built from 1733−1743. It originally had only one link to the mainland. A well was located in the central Neoclassical tempietto dedicated to Saint Roch, invoked against the plague, in the center of the courtyard. It was built to house possibly-infected travellers and goods arriving in the port.
Over the years, the site has taken different functions, mainly as a military citadel since the 19th century. During World War I, there was a failed attempt to sabotage the Italian naval resources by 60 infiltrating Habsburg sailors. Now it is used as a site of the museum Tattile Omero, as well as home for various exhibitions.
It is not clear why a pentagonal shape was chosen for the building. However, the rationalistic and functional ensemble is common to many works of late Enlightenment architecture. The efforts of this work can be compared to the contemporary architecture of institutions meant to provide geometrically compelling structures to house services for the poor in Naples by Fernando Fuga, such as the massive Royal Hospice and Hospital for the Poor and the mathematical Cemetery of the 366 Fossae.
The Piper J-3 Cub is an American light aircraft that was built between 1937 and 1947 by Piper Aircraft. The aircraft has a simple, lightweight design which gives it good low-speed handling properties and short-field performance. The Cub is Piper Aircraft's most-produced model, with nearly 20,000 built in the United States. Its simplicity, affordability and popularity invokes comparisons to the Ford Model T automobile.

El Templo Expiatorio de la Sagrada Familia, conocido simplemente como la Sagrada Familia, es una basílica católica de Barcelona (España), diseñada por el arquitecto Antoni Gaudí. Iniciada en 1882, todavía está en construcción (noviembre de 2016). Es la obra maestra de Gaudí, y el máximo exponente de la arquitectura modernista catalana.
La Sagrada Familia es un reflejo de la plenitud artística de Gaudí: trabajó en ella durante la mayor parte de su carrera profesional, pero especialmente en los últimos años de su carrera, donde llegó a la culminación de su estilo naturalista, haciendo una síntesis de todas las soluciones y estilos probados hasta aquel entonces. Gaudí logró una perfecta armonía en la interrelación entre los elementos estructurales y los ornamentales, entre plástica y estética, entre función y forma, entre contenido y continente, logrando la integración de todas las artes en un todo estructurado y lógico.
La Sagrada Familia tiene planta de cruz latina, de cinco naves centrales y transepto de tres naves, y ábside con siete capillas. Ostenta tres fachadas dedicadas al Nacimiento, Pasión y Gloria de Jesús y, cuando esté concluida, tendrá 18 torres: cuatro en cada portal haciendo un total de doce por los apóstoles, cuatro sobre el crucero invocando a los evangelistas, una sobre el ábside dedicada a la Virgen y la torre-cimborio central en honor a Jesús, que alcanzará los 172,5 metros de altura. El templo dispondrá de dos sacristías junto al ábside, y de tres grandes capillas: la de la Asunción en el ábside y las del Bautismo y la Penitencia junto a la fachada principal; asimismo, estará rodeado de un claustro pensado para las procesiones y para aislar el templo del exterior. Gaudí aplicó a la Sagrada Familia un alto contenido simbólico, tanto en arquitectura como en escultura, dedicando a cada parte del templo un significado religioso.

When completed, it will have 18 towers: four at each portal, making a total of twelve for the apostles, four over the transept invoking the evangelists, one over the apse dedicated to the Virgin, and the central dome tower in honor of Jesus, which will reach 172.5 meters in height. The temple will have two sacristies next to the apse and three large chapels: the Assumption Chapel in the apse and the Baptism and Penance Chapels next to the main façade. It will also be surrounded by a cloister designed for processions and to isolate the temple from the exterior. Gaudí applied a highly symbolic content to the Sagrada Familia, both in architecture and sculpture, dedicating each part of the temple to a religious significance.

La Sagrada Familia es un reflejo de la plenitud artística de Gaudí: trabajó en ella durante la mayor parte de su carrera profesional, pero especialmente en los últimos años de su carrera, donde llegó a la culminación de su estilo naturalista, haciendo una síntesis de todas las soluciones y estilos probados hasta aquel entonces. Gaudí logró una perfecta armonía en la interrelación entre los elementos estructurales y los ornamentales, entre plástica y estética, entre función y forma, entre contenido y continente, logrando la integración de todas las artes en un todo estructurado y lógico.
La Sagrada Familia tiene planta de cruz latina, de cinco naves centrales y transepto de tres naves, y ábside con siete capillas. Ostenta tres fachadas dedicadas al Nacimiento, Pasión y Gloria de Jesús y, cuando esté concluida, tendrá 18 torres: cuatro en cada portal haciendo un total de doce por los apóstoles, cuatro sobre el crucero invocando a los evangelistas, una sobre el ábside dedicada a la Virgen y la torre-cimborio central en honor a Jesús, que alcanzará los 172,5 metros de altura. El templo dispondrá de dos sacristías junto al ábside, y de tres grandes capillas: la de la Asunción en el ábside y las del Bautismo y la Penitencia junto a la fachada principal; asimismo, estará rodeado de un claustro pensado para las procesiones y para aislar el templo del exterior.

In Argentina it is spring, but this weekend it was cold and I had to get warm to get out. When I return home I take off my wool pullover and I throw it on my bed. In that action I dropped it an "alfajor" (sorry, I don´t know the english word) on the floor; when I bend down to pick it up I uncover the landscape that had been formed with a sleeve of the pullover. To make the picture more interesting, I invoke to the moon that I created with a 1 (one) AAA batery mini pocket flashlight.. and voila! We are in the mountains!!

Well, I've heard that the Devil's walking around
I sold my soul way down in the dirt
But stole it back and forever in debt
And for a moment I don't even care
Until I feel his breath at my neck
And maybe even you can feel it too
He's on a strike and looking at you
Holding onto his words, but baby
I saw an angel become the Devil
Still they walk pretty good hand in hand
Well, baby, I don't need any of them
Heaven nor hell
well, I've heard that the morning star of a prince
Was invoked on a Monday on Earth
I found his business card in the mud
And for a moment I don't even care
Until I feel his breath at my neck
And maybe even you can feel it too
He's on a strike and looking at you
The same Location as the previous photo. This tree sits on the edge of the valley from the photo "The Valley Beyond" from five or six years ago. This of course doesn't have the valley visible due to the clouds that descended down onto the ridges here. It's a shame that the view is obscured, but this does give the opportunity for a more intimate landscape. The Mister invokes feelings of mystery, fear, dread, curiosity. Photography is a personal venture, and intimate in nature while you're doing the shoot, only later do you share the experience with the world after the deed has been done.

painted, etched or photographed under such conditions— the transitory instead of the eternal. But I don't want the play of sunlight to excite the fancy, nor the mystery of gloom to invoke the imagination— wearing coloured glasses— I want the greater mystery of things revealed more clearly than the eyes see, at least more than the layman, the casual observer notes. I would have a microscope, shall have one some day.

In Norse mythology, from which most surviving narratives about gods among the Germanic peoples stem, Týr sacrifices his arm to the monstrous wolf Fenrir, who bites off his limb while the gods bind the animal. Týr is foretold to be consumed by the similarly monstrous dog Garmr during the events of Ragnarök. In Old Norse sources, Týr is alternately described as the son of the jötunn Hymir (in Hymiskviða) or of the god Odin (in Skáldskaparmál). Lokasenna makes reference to an unnamed otherwise unknown consort, perhaps also reflected in the continental Germanic record (see Zisa (goddess)).
Various place names in Scandinavia refer to the god, and a variety of objects found in England and Scandinavia may depict the god or invoke him. wikipedia
Wild blackberry basks in the morning sunlight along Cambell Creek near Colfax. Scenes like this always invoke a sense of immediacy in me, enabling a welcome glimpse into the crack between memory and anticipation.
A major storm is blowing through our area with high winds and copious rainfall that is expected to turn to snow on Friday. They've named the storm "Winter Storm Nadia." This is the first time I remember a storm on the West Coast being named.

Another striking change was noticed by Alan Johnson. "The spacious meeting room in the old and formidable vault is sure to provide a few laughs, but perhaps also invoke a sense of seriousness and integrity to any business conducted there." Alan Johnson recalled an extraordinary event that occurred years earlier. "The impressive banking room of San Diego Trust had served the city in ways other than just banking.224

This gorgeous yellow hybrid Phalaenopsis “Sin Yuan” invokes warm colours of autumn.
Under rich, relentless skies
I've been setting highs
I felt you walk right through me
You're the thing that I invoke
My all persistent goal
Sent to make me queazy
And oh, it's hard now
With time, it works out
To be human is to love
Even when it gets too much
I'm not ready to give up...

To go a viking was the call
To be answered by Norsemen blonde and tall
And so they rode the dragon boats
The powers of Thor and Odin they did invoke
Once more upon a foreign shore
Spared not the weak who did emplore
For mercy from untimely death
A viking was a raid unto death
The weak and feeble felt the axe
Even the strong had no hope to match
The power of its savage bite
And when the blow fell death came in sight
Of those yet to fall
Delivered by a norseman tall
Few were spared and taken slave
To labour for their remaining days
Then the longships turned once more for home
Few Norsemen dead no more to roam
There is a name for what they did
To Go A Viking
Theresa May made it clear that UK won't invoke Article 50 within the year. Imagine the turmoils the British pound and British properties and equities have to undergo within the period, and whether the British voters could withstand the sharp shocks that is anything but short. Other than economic punishments, they now say "the referendum was not binding", but "was only advisory" and that it's something which only the Parliament can decide on... The odds are, they are not going to make it, so long as the matter is muddling on.
Agra Fort, India, a UNESCO World Heritage site. The fort also was the site of the battle of the 1857 Indian Mutiny witnessing the end of the rule of the East Indian Company and the beginning of direct British rule in India. Now that India is independent and British Raj no more, the Britons come and go here only as a visitor ......
The Fort is a walled city which has been in the location since the 11th century having changed hands a number of times. It was during the reign of Akbar's grandson that the site took on its current state using a lot of white marble. He built Taj Mahal 2.5 km away in the memory of his wife. At the end of his life, he was deposed and restrained by his son in the fort. He died in a tower therein with a view of the Taj Mahal.

Élan, the lust for life. One thing the music of Nightwish always invokes in me. And this.. well, it's the first song I listened to this year. I love how the arrangements got more complex with each new Album, and the lyrics.. Tuomas really isn't a songwriter anymore, he ascended to the realm of poets and composers
Élan - Nightwish (live in Buenos Aires)
Élan - Nightwish (Album Version)
Leave the sleep and let the springtime talk
In tongues from the time before man
Listen to a daffodil tell her tale
Let the guest in, walk out, be the first to greet the morn
The meadows of heaven await harvest
The cliffs unjumped, cold waters untouched
The elsewhere creatures yet unseen
Finally your number came up, freefall awaits the brave
Come, taste the wine
Raise the blind
They will guide you from the light
Writing noughts till the end of time
Come, surf the clouds
Race the dark
It feeds from the runs undone
Meet me where the cliff greets the sea
The answer to the riddle before your eyes
Is in dead leaves and fleeting skies
Returning swans and sedulous mice
Writing's on the gardens book, in the minute of a lover's look
Building a sandcastle close to the shore
A house of cards from a worn-out deck
A home from the fellowship, poise and calm
Write a lyric for the song only you can understand
Come, taste the wine
Raise the blind
They will guide you from the light
Writing noughts till the end of time
Come, surf the clouds
Race the dark
It feeds from the runs undone
Meet me where the cliff greets the sea
Riding hard every shooting star
Come to life, open mind, have a laugh at the orthodox
Come, drink deep let the dam of mind seep
Travel with great élan, dance a jig at the funeral, come!
Taste the wine
Raise the blind
They will guide you from the light
Writing noughts till the end of time
Ooh, come, surf the clouds
Race the dark
It feeds from the runs undone
Meet me where the cliff greets the sea, come!
