This photograph was taken just after sun has set at Upper Seletar Reservoir.
There were captivating and colourful clouds with partial reflections in the reservoir. The combination of shapes and colours of the clouds invoke a serene feel to the beautiful landscape.
Best wishes for a relaxing weekend.
“Our Guardian Angels are our most faithful friends, because they are with us day and night, always and everywhere. We ought often to invoke them.”

Best wishes for a relaxing Sunday.
This photograph was taken yesterday at dusk in Upper Seletar Reservoir.
It was a calm evening. The various shapes, illuminated colours and shades of the clouds invoked a serene feel to the beautiful landscape.
IF Zeus chose us a King of the flowers in his mirth,
He would call to the rose, and would royally crown it;
For the rose, ho, the rose! is the grace of the earth,
Is the light of the plants that are growing upon it!
For the rose, ho, the rose! is the eye of the flowers,
Is the blush of the meadows that feel themselves fair,—
Is the lightning of beauty, that strikes through the bowers
On pale lovers that sit in the glow unaware.
Ho, the rose breathes of love! ho, the rose lifts the cup
To the red lips of Cypris invoked for a guest!
Ho, the rose having curled its sweet leaves for the world
Takes delight in the motion its petals keep up,
As they laugh to the Wind as it laughs from the west.
St Etheldreda's Church is a Roman Catholic church in Ely Place, off Charterhouse Street in Holborn, London. The building is one of only two surviving in London from the reign of Edward I, and dates from between 1250-1290. It is dedicated to Æthelthryth, or Etheldreda, the Anglo-Saxon saint who founded the monastery at Ely in 673. It was the chapel of the London residence of the Bishops of Ely.
In the early 17th century it served briefly as an embassy chapel for the Spanish Ambassador, and a haven for English Catholics. The chapel was purchased by the Catholic Church in 1874 and opened in 1878 and is one of the oldest churches in England to be in current use by the Catholic Church.
St Etheldreda's consists of a chapel, or upper church, and a crypt or undercroft and is active and used for Masses, baptisms, weddings, and funerals. Because Etheldreda was often invoked for help with infections of the throat, the Blessing of the Throats is held annually at the chapel.
The Catholic chapel at the United States Military Academy, West Point, is modelled on St Etheldreda's

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

With time, it works out
To be human is to love
Even when it gets too much
I'm not ready to give up

Taipei Botanical Garden (台北植物園), Taipei, Taiwan
During a short visit to Taiwan, I was pleasantly surprised to see this lone male at Taipei Botanical Garden. This species is rarely seen at sea level. Its natural habitat is at higher altitudes. As can be imagined, its sighting attracted hundreds of birders to the Garden. It also invoked territorial aggression from another lone male of a different species, White-rumped Shama, also rarely seen and shown in the previous picture. With both birds liking the same tree, the Vivid Niltava was often chased away by the White-rumped Shama and only returned to feed when the latter was elsewhere.
If we had, we would certainly not have nincompoops occupying positions of enormous responsibility and power in the field of politics :-(

On the "Middelbuurt", the most densely populated residential mound of the former island of Schokland is a little church where the islanders, engaged in a fierce struggle for existance and the battle against the water, also invoked heavenly powers.
This little church in an austere neoclassical style dates from 1834 and was paid for by the State.
A stone church stood on the same site from 1717, which was irreparably damaged in the storm disaster of 1825 and for which this church was built.
The little church and its adjacent presbytery is the only building remaining on this residential mound of the former island of Schokland after the evacuation of the island in 1859.
Both the church, presbytery and the residential mound were protected from the vagaries of the former "Zuiderzee" by a heavy wooden palisade and a piece of dike made of basalt stones.
The wooden building on the left is a replica of the ice-fleet barn that took its place as the shelter of the ice-fleet that was vital in harsh winters.
This was a boat under which liders were attached so that it could be pulled across the ice like a sled........
This Sanskrit mantra invokes Goddess Saraswati, the powerful Hindu embodiment of Shakti energy in the form of creativity, language, wisdom, knowledge, art and music.
In 1582 the Abbey was purchased by Sir Francis Drake, who set about a rebuilding programme, which, local tradition claims, took a mere three nights to complete because he invoked the assistance of the devil!

Taken quiet a long time ago but after sitting in my archives for months it has stood the test of time and I still like it. I thought it was a good image to share for St. Patty's Day with all of the green and I also thought it's a good image for invoking hope! I was down on my knees for this one and I used my "live view" ability to be able to get this perspective. Have a wonderful day and drink a pint for me!
View in Large for fun!
Thank you so much my dear friends for your support and for your faves and kind comments, greatly appreciated! Have a nice day!
Draka walks to the city and will rejoin her army.Ready for some new dark adventures.
Thee I Invoke, bornless one
All woman, pure predator
Wherein conspiracy and impulse dwell
Like a seething fall from grace
Thou art pale hecate
Rising from thessaly
You're in my dreams
The Darkness in my heart
The rapture in their screams
Black Goddess Rise...

As long as you look for a Buddha somewhere else,
You’ll never see that your own mind is the Buddha.
Don't use a Buddha to worship a Buddha.
And don't use the mind to invoke a Buddha.

Have a nice weekend my friends! :-)
Artists Chen Chen and Kai Williams created this piece to provide a fishing platform for the great blue herons who frequent the Japanese Hill-and-Pond Garden. They reused plastic cartons from their studio, to reduce the waste produced from the creation of the work, topped with silk flags that invoke plastic bags. “We often use plastic bags for their graphics in our practice and want to separate the graphics, which are beautiful, from the trash the bag creates,” they say.

The rock formations, scrub brush, cactus, and gnarled pinion pine and juniper trees of the Southwest United States invoke the spirit of the pre-historic continent that we call North America moreso than nearly anywhere else.
There are vast expanses of scant population, and even in tourist areas like Sedona, the nature takes precedence. When I looked at this image in color, it was nice, but when I converted it to monochrome, it drew out that spirit for me.
Do you agree?

“The Great Translation Movement” ： twitter.com/tgtm_official
This is a group of young Chinese people who risked their lives to set up their own website for Chinese instant brainwashing news translating from Chinese to English, they have all been banned in the Chinese sphere of influence, they are often threatened by the officials, one volunteer translator has disappeared for many days.
An online anti-war movement launched during the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine. It seeks to expose pro-Russian, anti-American, anti-Japanese, anti-Western, and racially discriminatory sentiments in China by translating government propaganda and anti-western public opinion found on the Chinese internet into other languages, including English, Japanese, and Korean. Through such a movement, the participants aim to invoke the conscience of the Chinese People.
I hope that western friends pay more attention to them.🙏

The Hunter
~Edgar Albert Guest~
Cheek that is tanned to the wind of the north.
Body that jests at the bite of the cold,
Limbs that are eager and strong to go forth
Into the wilds and the ways of the bold;
Red blood that pulses and throbs in the veins,
Ears that love silences better than noise;
Strength of the forest and health of the plains;
These the rewards that the hunter enjoys.
Forests were ever the cradles of men;
Manhood is born of a kinship with trees.
Whence shall come brave hearts and stout muscles, when
Woods have made way for our cities of ease?
Oh, do you wonder that stalwarts return
Yearly to hark to the whispering oaks?
'Tis for the brave days of old that they yearn:
These are the splendors the hunter invokes.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
It is my thought that if anything should upset the pristine quality of the Mara, hot air balloons are a good choice. They are so quiet and invoke so many feelings of wonder n humans.
Here they glide effortlessly across the grassland of Masai Mara on a hazy morning during the green season.

Son variadas las leyendas donde relacionan diversos animales que son considerados y utilizados como amuletos para la buena suerte, uno de ellos es el búho, ave cuyos ojos son símbolo de la intuición, de sabiduría e inteligencia. Algunos utilizan accesorios con la figura de este alado, para invocar la buena suerte.
Según el portal Soyesoterica.com, se tiene la creencia que el tener un encuentro de forma casual con un búho, es una excelente señal de buen augurio en todos los sentidos, pero fundamentalmente en el aspecto económico.
De otra parte, también se dice que los búhos son buenos protectores contra el oscurantismo y la ignorancia, por ello no es difícil encontrar la representación del animal en objetos como talismanes o adornos que llevan las personas y en ocasiones los puedan tener en sus residencias.
Desde ya a todos mis amigos les deseo que frente a la adversidad que caracterizó este año, lo terminemos con sabiduria e inteligencia.

The legends are varied where various animals that are considered and used as amulets for good luck are related, one of them is the owl, a bird whose eyes are a symbol of intuition, wisdom and intelligence. Some use accessories with the figure of this winged, to invoke good luck.
According to the portal Soyesoterica.com, it is believed that having a chance encounter with an owl is an excellent sign of a good omen in every way, but fundamentally financially.
On the other hand, it is also said that owls are good protectors against obscurantism and ignorance, so it is not difficult to find the representation of the animal in objects such as talismans or ornaments that people carry and sometimes they can have in their residences.
From now on I wish all my friends that in the face of the adversity that characterized this year, we end it with wisdom and intelligence.

Eine davon ist die Eule, ein Vogel, dessen Augen ein Symbol für Intuition, Weisheit und Intelligenz sind. Einige verwenden Zubehör mit der Figur dieses geflügelten, um Glück zu beschwören.
Laut dem Portal Soyesoterica.com wird angenommen, dass eine zufällige Begegnung mit einer Eule in jeder Hinsicht, aber grundsätzlich finanziell, ein hervorragendes Zeichen für ein gutes Omen ist.
Andererseits wird auch gesagt, dass Eulen ein guter Beschützer gegen Obskurantismus und Unwissenheit sind, so dass es nicht schwierig ist, die Darstellung des Tieres in Gegenständen wie Talismanen oder Ornamenten zu finden, die Menschen tragen und manchmal in ihren Wohnungen haben können.
Von nun an wünsche ich allen meinen Freunden, dass wir es angesichts der Widrigkeiten, die dieses Jahr geprägt haben, mit Weisheit und Intelligenz beenden.

D'autre part, on dit aussi que les hiboux sont de bons protecteurs contre l'obscurantisme et l'ignorance, il n'est donc pas difficile de trouver la représentation de l'animal dans des objets tels que des talismans ou des ornements que les gens portent et parfois ils peuvent avoir dans leurs résidences.

Das Valley of the Gods ähnelt im Aussehen dem wesentlich bekannteren und touristisch erschlossenen Monument Valley und weist vergleichbare Sandsteintürme und Felsnadeln auf.
Der Mythologie der Navajo zufolge sind die Felsformationen Plätze der Stärke, an denen die Geister der Vorfahren wohnen, speziell im Valley of the Gods. Die markanten Sandsteintürme sind versteinerte Krieger des Stammes, die um persönlichen Schutz angerufen werden können. Sie stellen Leibwächter dar, deren Macht und Stärke die jungen Männer auf dem Weg in den Krieg begleitet.
The Valley of the Gods is similar in appearance to the much better known and more touristically developed Monument Valley and has comparable sandstone towers and sea stacks.
According to Navajo mythology, the rock formations are places of strength where ancestral spirits dwell, especially in the Valley of the Gods. The distinctive sandstone towers are petrified warriors of the tribe who can be invoked for personal protection. They represent bodyguards whose power and strength accompanies the young men on their way to war.

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
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 Expiatory Church of the Sagrada Familia, known simply as the Sagrada Familia, is a Roman Catholic basilica in Barcelona, Spain, designed by architect Antoni Gaudí. Begun in 1882, it is still under construction (November 2016). It is Gaudí's masterpiece and the greatest exponent of Catalan modernist architecture.
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.

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.

The Expiatory Church of the Sagrada Familia, known simply as the Sagrada Familia, is a Roman Catholic basilica in Barcelona, Spain, designed by architect Antoni Gaudí. Begun in 1882, it is still under construction (November 2016). It is Gaudí's masterpiece and the greatest exponent of Catalan modernist architecture.
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.
Italia, Toscana, Borgo a Mozzano (LU), Autunno 2014
Il Ponte della Maddalena è attraversa il fiume Serchio vicino alla città di Borgo a Mozzano (Lucca). Si tratta di uno dei numerosi ponti medievali conosciuto come il "Ponte del Diavolo", un tempo attraversamento cruciale sulla Via Francigena, una delle principali strade medievali per i pellegrini diretti a Roma. Il suo design snello, che ancora impressiona lo spettatore, sicuramente risultava ancora più particolare in passato. Secondo una leggenda popolare un capomastro iniziò la sua costruzione ma ben presto si accorse che non sarebbe stato in grado di completare il lavoro per il giorno stabilito e per paura delle possibili conseguenze invocò al Diavolo chiedendo aiutarlo. Il Diavolo accettò di completare il ponte in una notte in cambio della prima anima che lo avrebbe attraversato. Il contratto fu stipulato, ma il costruttore, pieno di rimorsi, si confessò con un prete che gli consigliò di lasciare attraversare il ponte per primo a un maiale. Così il diavolo fu sconfitto e scomparve nelle profondità del fiume.
Ponte della Maddalena is a bridge crossing the Serchio river near the town of Borgo a Mozzano (Lucca). It is one of numerous medieval bridges known as the "Bridge of the Devil" and it was a vital river crossing on the Via Francigena, an early medieval road to Rome for pilgrims. Its slender design, still impresses the viewer, used to be certainly more peculiar in the past. According to a popular legend a master mason begun its building but soon noticed that he would not be able to complete the work for the fixed day and frightened of the possible consequences invoked to the Devil asking him help. The Devil accepted to complete the bridge in a night in change of the first soul that would have crossed it. The contract was signed but the constructor, full of remorse, confessed himself with a priest that advised him to let cross the bridge for first to a pig. So the Devil was defeated and he disappeared in the deepness of the river.

Cape Manzamo is a range of limestone cliffs, former coral reefs shaped and eroded by waves. The limestone low on tidal forms a whole, creating a picturesque cliff. The shape of the cliff invokes an elephant nose figure. Residing in the western coast of the mainland Okinawa, Cape Manzamo is open to the East China Sea. Visitors can observe the extensive horizons over the sea from the top of the cliff, which has 20 m height above the sea. Cape Manzamo offers an outstanding view of nature landscapes. Visiting the place would be an unforgettable memory for any visitors in Okinawa. Let's go!

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.

from poet william stafford:
"be a person here. stand by the river, invoke the owls. invoke winter, then spring. let any season that wants to come here make its own call. after that sound goes away, wait... how you stand here is important. how you listen for the next things to happen. how you breathe."

Title thanks to Trapac - in another photo.
I was late by the time I got to this. I stopped and grabbed a few shots, especially this one, crouching to get the undergrowth. I was even later - but relieved that this came out at all.
I think this is worth looking at On Black or even larger On Black
Someone, not me, made this PRIVATE, and it lost all its faves.
