The Rosetta Stone is an ancient Egyptian granodiorite stele inscribed with a decree issued at Memphis, Egypt in 196 BC on behalf of King Ptolemy V. The decree appears in three scripts: the upper text is Ancient Egyptian hieroglyphs, the middle portion demotic script, and the lowest Ancient Greek. Because it presents essentially the same text in all three scripts (with some minor differences between them), it provided the key to the modern understanding of Egyptian hieroglyphs.

White is maybe the most rigorous and psychological color, it seems to purify the surfaces, it’s a color that makes the vacuum merge. The empty spaces have slight contrasts of shape as a value.
I like to deal with this non-pigmentation because its process is a ramification of many harmonic elements that allude to a perfect informality. These pictures may seem incongruous because they are elegant and messy at the same time. They are contemporary, I took familiar objects like: “Burger King” glasses, crumbled pills, glasses of plastic or packs, which I photographed in high key. This kind of illumination, in which high and white tones are predominant, spreads positivity and freshness, which is another element of contrast towards the mess of the scenery, that often has a dirty tablecloth, like someone suddenly left the meal. The position of elements is never random, but it is necessary to highlight the constituent structure: pieces of silverware, pills, bottles, remains of food or dry branches are often put close to each other on levels, like there was a narrative correlation more or less narrow between each other. There is no human presence, but it is re-invoked through the representation of objects, where plasticity alternates with flatness, creating at the same time tension and melancholy.
We visited a Masai settlement and these guys were slowly getting together to perform the tribal greeting.
This photo is not very good as the contrast was too high I've tried it in hdr to attempt to get some detail...its a little better! Kept it because of the memory it invokes! To say they were reluctant would be an understatement mainly I think it was because we were only two and female! Oh well! a few more to follow asap!
Another picture that invokes memories; or , possibly, feelings of another place and time. It's how I remember the countryside as a child; or rather, how I remember pictures of the coutryside when I was a child - muted colours, grey, washed-out skies, defunct hedges, long forgotten fences, wind strained trees and sheep. This is what old photographs can do to your memories - to your memories of memories: they replace the bright sunshine, vibrant colours of nature and the sense of freedom of being out in the countryside.
And here I am, perpetuating and even exacerbating the problem.
With apologies to you know whom … I simply could not resist showing this little levitation gem enhanced by some cool rim light. Does not look too shabby in large either. What happened is that the resident squirrel received a visit from his south-american cousin, the flying squirrel. Family being what it is, and not to offend the south-american machismo, he pretended to be genuinely impressed by his cousin’s antics. But as soon as his cousin had left, he came over and in a conspiratorial voice whispered to me “Come watch this and bring your camera”. I had nothing better to do at the time, actually, I rarely have anything better to do at any time, and moved the Adirondack chair into position and observed his masterful command of levitation in some pretty cool lighting conditions. Truth be told, we were at this for about an hour and these lighting conditions occurred for only about 5 minutes.
I have a huge problem here. During my research for catchy tunes I came across this Elvis song that has absolutely nothing to do with this image. You may have noticed that does happen from time to time. What to do? I could just ignore this dilemma and post the song but the squirrel sprang to my aid and invoked an old light incantation whose origin is shrouded in mystery to this day. He turned to the sun and whispered "Kiss me Quick" …
this is early evening.
its almost 8 p.m. and the sun is still not set in the sky.
we lost today, to downingtown west, they're a good team, i'm not pulling my hair out over it.
there are far more reason to be doing that.
i read something the other day that made me think a whole lot. i thought it was pretty funny because it definitely wasn't written to invoke deep-thinking but somehow it ended up that way:
He stood there checking it for nearly 20 minutes. Dudes were pulling up and paddling straight out. But this guy was timing sets, studying the crowd, and sprinkling sand into the wind. He removed his board from his fin sock, sat on the curb and began scraping off the wax. When he was finished, he wiped the board with a moist towel and began the careful task of waxing back up. Base coat first. Nose to tail. Tail to nose. Slow, careful circles. Meticulous, evenly spaced beads. He checked his fins. Checked his tail pad, his leash, his rails. Then he set the board carefully in the shade and covered it with a towel. Time for sunscreen. Vertra for the face. White slather everywhere else. Behind the kneecaps. Between the fingers. He even had a flat neoprene strap to rub the hard-to-reach spot on his back. After stowing the sunscreen, he held a t-shirt under a faucet, rang it out and put it on wet. Out comes the First Aid kit. He holds a tiny reef cut under the faucet. Dries it. Applies Chinese medicine. Band-Aid. And then tapes over the whole situation. He runs a quick strength and flexibility test on the First Aid. Satisfied.
Now the stretching. Deep knee bends. Toe touches. Torso twists. Arm rotations. Everything slow, counted, and are-you-f--cking-kidding-me careful. He's staring at the surf. Sniffing the wind. Getting his mojo together. And now he's ready. He waxes the top of his feet. Secures and double checks his leash. Then jogs down the steps to the waters edge.
His car door is wide open. Keys dangling from the ignition.

goodnight and God bless.
Re-posted ~ The most famous photo of the Loch Ness Monster was taken 81 years ago today.
---------------------------------------------
Dedicated to our inner-child and to all the dreamers like us. ♥
The Loch Ness Monster is a cryptid that is reputed to inhabit Loch Ness in the Scottish Highlands. The most frequent speculation is that the creature represents a line of long-surviving plesiosaurs. The legendary monster has been affectionately referred to by the nickname "Nessie" since the 1950s.
The earliest legend about the Loch Ness monster recorded is the story of the Irish monk Saint Columba’s encounter with the beast. During is pilgrimage in Scotland to spread Christianity across the land, on his way to visit with the Pictish king in Inverness, he encountered some Picts burying what remained of one of their own people, badly savaged by a creature in the Loch. Columba ordered one of his followers to swim over to the other side of the water and retrieve the dead man’s boat. During this the servant was attacked by a creature. Columba (invoking the name of God) commanded the beast to return to whence it came and it vanished beneath the waters of the Loch leaving the swimming man unharmed.
It was not until 1933 that the monster became world famous as the world newspapers reported the story. So keep your eyes on the loch as you travel around, you never know you may be lucky and spot the monster too.

From Wikipedia:
Sagat is menacingly tall, a trait he uses to his advantage in his long-reaching attacks. His natural size drove him to become a powerful fighter. His hands are massive enough to close around the entire head of many of his opponents. He is depicted as being totally bald, except in one official artwork that shows him with a full head of long hair.
In the Street Fighter II series, Sagat's in-game sprite does not display the highly muscular build of the Street Fighter Alpha series, although even at that time he had been consistently portrayed so in his Super Street Fighter II Turbo ending, and other Capcom artworks. Later on, the game graphics improved to match those of the comics.
Sagat wears a black eyepatch over his severely damaged right eye, though the lack of depth perception and loss of peripheral vision do not seriously hamper his ability as a powerful fighter.
Due to a technical limitation in the Street Fighter series, Sagat's eyepatch will appear to switch from eye to eye when Sagat faces another direction, since the left-facing sprite is a mirror-image of the right. The 3D Street Fighter EX games do not feature this limitation.
The massive scar on his chest is a constant reminder of Ryu's victory. Sagat makes no attempt to conceal the disfigurement, and in fact draws power from the hateful memory it invokes; in Capcom vs. SNK 2, Sagat's scar glows while he charges energy for his S-Groove super meter.
Sagat wears traditional Muay Thai kickboxing shorts and classic wraps. The trunks have colors varying from purple with yellow trim, to blue with red trim, to blue with yellow trim. He wears tape around his fists and feet to protect his hands and ankles.

3. Paint Edit with a Medusa Head Reflected in the small Crystal Ball
These Pipe Dreams on past photographic productions now unavailable has me making my memories of them wishing to invoke René Magritte and La Trahison des images, The Treachery of Images, which is often evoked with Ceci n'est pas une pipe translated as This is not a pipe. The painted representation of the pipe from 1929 cannot be stuffed said Magritte and it certainly cannot perform as does the pipe it resembles. With such dreams of images and reality, with lost production processes and notions that the Camera Never Lies I have my dreams some real, others surreal, a few definitely beyond reality and further those resting in imagination and with vision of a remembrance towards a former reality accomplished now here held in pixels that have been embraced in loving edits.
The snappy title belies the convoluted memory to digital process from a 4x5 SINAR set up out of Switzerland following formulas from there that fill my photographic contemplations. Images of images and images to last against the ravages of time are bound in my mind with Kodachrome, Cibachrome and the varying P 3 / P 3X / P 30P / P 30 P 3.5 processes. In reflection and rumination through editing I have lost and found time, thought of reality and enjoyed illusion, fantasy and fiction. This is one picture brightly produced in varying considerations, cogitations and cognations created these digital inklings that presume to be potential for a project.
I would like to add, this as much I do is Production Incarnate Preinduction Illustrate. A progress in work Inspiration for the next creation.
As the above is my usual text slide to conclude the films I release on YouTube and Flickr I will add this below so as not to use the regular ending. I feel completely engaged and absolutely ready for each next link and flow in the chain and the continuation that interlock and mind and body shock me out of, into and all around these moments. The personal interaction here in picture taking and editing has taken me to moments in history and projected me to places far beyond mystery.

The Romanian artist Mercea Cantor composes enigmatic artworks that appear to invoke the interrelationship between the planet, man, faith and time. The rosette shape of Rosace evokes the south rose window of Paris’ Notre Dame cathedral, suggestion faith or worship. However, Cantor’s hanging rosette comprises no medieval stained glass but rather ashtrays composed of soda cans that he bought from a street vendor in Paris. Rosace’s materials hind at contemporary society’s devotion to disposable products, as well as the resourcefulness and creativity inherent in repurposing the cans.
Federation Square is a cultural precinct in Melbourne, Australia. It comprises a series of buildings containing a public broadcaster, art galleries, a museum, cinemas, exhibition spaces, auditoria, restaurants, bars and shops around two major public spaces, one covered (The Atrium), the other open to the sky, and composed of two spaces that flow into one another (St. Paul's Court and The Square). The majority of the precinct is built on top of a concrete deck over busy railway lines. Construction began in 1998 and the site opened in 2002.
Federation Square occupies roughly a whole urban block bounded by Swanston, Flinders, and Russell Streets and the Yarra River. The open public square is directly opposite Flinders Street Station and St Paul's Cathedral. The layout of the precinct helps to connect the historical central district of the city with the Yarra River and a new park Birrarung Marr. This refocusing of the city on the Yarra River also partly reinforces links with the Southbank district, whose redevelopment has been ongoing as a key part of central Melbourne since the late 1980s.
The site of Federation Square has had a variety of former uses. The Gas and Fuel Buildings, Jolimont Yard and the Princes Bridge railway station were the immediate predecessors, though in the 19th century there was a morgue on the site. The result of an international design competition in 1997, Federation Square was designed by Don Bates and Peter Davidson of Lab Architecture Studio. A key part of the plaza design is its large, fixed public screen, which has been used to broadcast major sporting events, such as the AFL Grand Final, and still continues to do so. During the 2006 FIFA World Cup, thousands of football fans braved cold nights to watch the matches on the Federation Square screen.
The complex of buildings forms a rough U-shape around the main open-air square, oriented to the west. The eastern end of the square is formed by the glazed walls of The Atrium. While bluestone is used for the majority of the paving in the Atrium and St. Paul's Court, matching footpaths elsewhere in central Melbourne, the main square is paved in 470,000 ochre-coloured sandstone blocks from Western Australia, intended to invoke images of the Outback. The paving is designed as a huge urban artwork called 'Nearamnew', by Paul Carter and gently rises above street level, containing a number of textual pieces inlaid in its undulating surface.
I personally thought the whole site was an ugly modern monstrosity....'carbuncle' comes to mind. Seen from the Eureka Skydeck on the 88th floor of 7, Riverside Quay, Southbank in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia.
In our virtual world, where so much takes place in the vapor zone known as cyberspace, the feel of the ground below my feet, coupled with the familiar scents, sights and sounds on this ridge where we live, gives me comfort. I call it serenity of place.
Speaking of a sense of place: here's my live and very personal rock n' roll version of a country tune that definitely invokes a sense of place. Check it out if you dare and never let it be said that an old man can't rock. :-)

La verdad es que la idea de ir a Pancorbo un día como este en el que las carreteras estaban casi impracticables parecía una insensatez. Podía haber sido un día marcado por las supresiones de trenes pero hubo muchas más circulaciones de las esperadas porque los trenes con destino Santander tuvieron que encaminarse a Bilbao al estar cerrado el Puerto del Pozazal. La aparición de estas dos veteranas japonesas a buena velocidad fue todo un espectáculo y subo esta foto a mi Flickr para invocar un invierno con mucha nieve en el que podamos repetir una jornada tan inolvidable como la de aquel día.

- or so they say about democracy and parliaments... The building (or complex of several) invokes analogies with Westminster Palace, both magnificent examples of Gothic Revival, standing by major rivers and having enormous historical significance for each country...
Perched on top of a hillock is Hyderabads famous Shrine of Hazrat Ali, followers from far and wide come here to pay their floral tributes and invoke the first Shia Imam for blessings.Beneath the Shrine at the foothills is the Shrine of his brave son Hazrat Abbas ..This is my new series I visited Hyderabad almost 5 years back, pictures shot on negatives.The first time I came to Hyderabad to shoot Ashura all by myeslf ,than I came again to shoot the Chehlum, this time with my wife Afshaan.Hyderabad the fabulous city of the Nawabs is grandeur personified , the people of Hyderabad , absolutely honest, hospitable and even the poorer lot totally humble.For the Shias of Hyderabad Moharam is a way of Life , almost Life itself.The Hyderabadi Moharam fervour is a collective ethos of spirtuality.Azadri E Hussain , is awesome here in Hyderabad.Only black shirts and clothes for the mourning period that lasts 2 months , and eight days.I was lucky to have met Sajjad Bhai a Shia cop who was my host , who really opened doors , I have never seen a Momin like him, he carried my camera bag , while I scourged behind the Bibi Ka Alam.I was new to photography , so there are flaws but I am sure you will see the brighter side of a culture , the moods the vagaries of Shia timelessness.Forgive me but I continue with the Shia pilgrimage .Showing you Shiasm captured from a lens of a poet..and street philospher .I tweaked this as it was quite blurry , but man bowing to a greater divinity a thought poetically focussed showing his vulnerability and mortality .
This look steps into the shadows of what is yet to come, embodying the Ghost of Christmas Future in all her haunting elegance. She does not rush or warn—she simply exists, a silent prophecy wrapped in darkness and gold. The structured black gown flows like a funeral veil, restrained and regal, while the high slit reveals a gleam of burnished armor beneath, hinting that survival, strength, and consequence walk hand in hand.
Behind her, the spiked, skeletal adornment forms a cruel halo—part throne, part burden—crafted from skulls and barbs that speak of choices made and paths left unturned. The gold tones glow against the darkness, symbolizing how even in the bleakest futures, traces of value, legacy, and memory remain. Her face, touched with the pallor of death, is calm and knowing, reminding us that the future does not scream—it watches.
As the final spirit of Christmas, this evolution is not about fear, but reflection. The Ghost of Christmas Future asks us to look forward honestly, to acknowledge that every decision shapes what stands behind us and what awaits ahead. In her silence, she offers the most powerful gift of all: awareness.

EXPLORED February 26, 2017
This morning, we welcomed the Milky Way Galactic Core to shine brightly over Texas. Hope the next 8 months provide us several opportunities to capture the skies.
That is my friend and talented photographer Wisanu Boonrawd invoking the heavens over the Red River.On the left is Oklahoma and on the Right is Texas.
In the foreground is the Carpenter's Bluff Bridge which spans the Red River and links Grayson County to Bryan county, Oklahoma. Built in 1910, it was designed to allow trains, wagons, pedestrians, and horses to cross for a toll. In the 1960's, the bridge was deeded to Grayson County, which renovated it for automobile use. It's now a one-lane bridge with the old wooden walkway hugging it on one side. This piece of history gets to stand as a pedestrian bridge when the $7.3M replacement bridge which is currently under construction opens.
At 9,560' in elevation, this old snag has seen some severe weather - both winter and summer. Over the decades it survived everything Mother Nature could invoke and grew to be a tall sentinel overlooking the once verdant Paddy Creek drainage on the west flank of Escudilla Mountain.
However, in 2011 the Wallow Wild Fire killed much of the vegetation on the mountain, including this monarch. While certainly not as regal as before, he still stands tall with the thousands of other aspen, spruce, and pine skeletons as a reminder of what once was.
I was very lucky and caught the ¾ moon in the frame as it moved across the sky at sunset. Sometimes things work out.

A large jenga-style structure which monkeys sit on or walk greets viewers as the walk into the gallery housing Stephanie Quayle’s installation. Some of her clay monkeys watch us from atop planks of wood, as if waiting our reaction – and subsequent reaction – to their plight. The jenga emits a palpable threat of instability, compounded by Quayle’s use of decaying joists from timber barns and old
wooden beams. As with the game of jenga, it appears the installation could collapse at any moment. Quayle invokes the instability inherent in jenga to highlight the precarious situation human hands have wrought upon wildlife as a result of deforestation and consequence loss of habitat.

ALTRI POPOLI MA STESSO CREDO
Nelle vetrine della città si respira l'aria del Natale a pieni polmoni e tutto sembra gioioso e luminoso....come sembra lontano il dramma dell'Ucraina e lo scempio che si consuma in Iran senza parlare delle guerre in Africa e le tensioni in Corea....insomma, si deve sempre invocare la Pace ma è la Guerra a dominare il mondo.
La speranza per fortuna è l'ultima a morire.
--------------------------------------------------
OTHER PEOPLES BUT SAME BELIEVE
In the shop windows of the city you can breathe the Christmas air deeply and everything seems joyful and bright....how distant the drama of the Ukraine and the havoc that is being consumed in Iran seems far away without mentioning the wars in Africa and the tensions in Korea....in short, one must always invoke Peace but it is War that dominates the world.
Luckily hope is the last to die.

One of the most vivid memories of my own childhood happiness invokes the moment when the inhabitants of our family wagon would first catch a glimpse of the beach. The roads always seemed to be twisty and curvy, slowing us, thus lengthening the anticipation in the hot kid-stuffed back seat.
As these fortunate people turn into their driveway, their eyes are fixed on the blue Atlantic at the end of the way.
Today.
Cummaquid, Massachusetts.
As the time approaches for unshaven and overweight Santas to get stuck in chimneys ( extraction of which is placed on our understaffed Fire service ) apart from not setting a good example to kiddies, I thought I would post a snow scene. No reindeers to be seen sliding down clouds, just bleak snow & some mist. I went BW with this one, no attempt to pretty it up with colourful blue shadows. The texture is added to invoke a coarseness & a chilly atmosphere.
Count your blessings & stay warm.
Texture my own.
Chester Cathedral and Chester Visual Arts present ‘Our Colour Reflection’ by international artist, Liz West. The installation creates a conversation between the viewer and the setting using hundreds of mirrors made of coloured acrylic.
West creates vivid environments that mix luminous colour and radiant light. Working across a variety of mediums, West aims to provoke a heightened sensory awareness in the viewer through her works. She is interested in exploring how sensory phenomena can invoke psychological and physical responses that tap into our own deeply entrenched relationships to colour.
Open Monday to Saturday: 9am – 5pm, Sunday: 11am – 4pm

One important ritual of Hinduism is tarpana. Tarpana means “satisfying” or “satiating”. One acknowledges the debt one has to devas (gods), rishis (sages) and pitris
(ancestral manes) and tries to satisfy them using this ritual.Just as gods are invoked in fire in a homam, pitris are invoked in water in this ritual, then held in the palm and released in a specific way conducive to freeing them.
The fifth and last picture that invokes memories; or , possibly, feelings of another place and time. It's how I remember the countryside as a child; or rather, how I remember pictures of the coutryside when I was a child - muted colours, grey, washed-out skies, defunct hedges, long forgotten fences, wind strained trees and sheep. Though this example lacks some of the features listed, for me, it still carries the same feelings. This is what old photographs can do to your memories - to your memories of memories: they replace the bright sunshine, vibrant colours of nature and the sense of freedom of being out in the countryside.
And here I am, perpetuating and even exacerbating the problem.
The Kinavai ceremony, that signifies landing of Tolai people on the shores of East New Britain, starts before sunrise with Tolai secret society invoking Duk Duk (male) and Tubuan (female) spirits. The society is referred to as secret because its rituals are restricted to its members only. When we arrived on the shore at around 4am we could not see anything, we only could hear voices and people walking on the beach in both directions. We did not know what is happening. With sun rising we saw more people gathered on the shore including those wearing Duk Duk and Tubuan ceremonial costumes. After sunrise more Tolai people in Duk Duk and Tubuan costumes arrived on canoes accompanied by chanting and drumbeat. In the past, Duk Duk and Tubuan acted as sole law enforcers. These were people wearing Duk Duk and Tubuan masks believed to have spirits residing in them after the spirit was invoked. Their judgement was unquestionable and they would on occasion burn houses and kill people as a punishment. We saw Duk Duk and Tubuan dancing until shaman announced that possession by a spirit took place. After that Duk Duk and Tubuan would go to villages to administer punishment to wrongdoers including their own relatives.
Wild triangle on the ground
Mysterious darkness it is found
Between the sides, counting three
Invoking magic for all who see
What is hidden between the sides
Of the triangle that now rides
Over the day, through the night
Illuminated by the darkest light
We found this Shining Sunbeam in a polylepis forest near Lima, Peru during a visit in February of 2010. I find it to be a pretty interesting bird, but somehow the name Shining Sunbeam invokes such a powerful image in my mind that I don’t think anything could live up to it.
When I spotted this bird, I was walking around on a steep hillside which was quite challenging. It was quite interesting to walk among the stunted trees at the top of the Andes and it sure was a treat to spot this beauty when I sat down on a rock to take a break. While I was enjoying this bird and the amazing scenery that surrounded it, I could hardly imagine that only a couple of hours away was the bustling city of Lima.

There is a sense of hope/adventure if you stand at the edge of a cliff and look out into the wider world. Staring at a wall immediately in front of you invokes sadness/melancholy. Not to suggest that is the emotion the puffin is experiencing. It is the emotion I feel from observing the puffin. In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if the puffin is merely thinking "maybe this is a good place to build our den".
Newfoundland has much to offer, and puffins are no doubt among the best of the offerings. The Atlantic/common puffin is listed as vulnerable by the IUCN due to their rapid population decline.
The guilds of Venice started in medieval times as artisans got together to help protect and promote their industry. As with almost everything in Venice, the state soon got involved and a system was created in which the guilds were set up officially, with statutes (mariegole) approved by the government and lodged in the state archives (where they remain to this day). In the 16th century guild membership became compulsory for all artisans and shopkeepers and the guilds were given the responsibility to provide soldiers and sailors from among their membership in time of war.
Each guild, or arte had a headquarters, often in a church, but the larger and more important guilds had their own building known as a scuola. These buildings were used for meetings and ceremonies and were often decorated by famous artists. The guilds charged their members fees but membership of a guild also acted as a form of social security. Needy members received medical assistance and sometimes housing from the guild and often the guild paid for their funerals.
Saint Roch or Rocco is specially invoked against the plague.
I’m shaken, stunned & dazed. As I invoked the invincible Hand of God which did freeze up the lions deadly jaws from using Daniel for a meal, the cameraman @ the ongoing revival @ the National Biennial Conference of Christian Intellectuals @ Kwame Nkrumah University of Science & Technology captured unusual radiant supernatural Hand to Gods Glory & participants from Kwame Nkrumah University of Science & Technology, Ghana Institute of Journalism, University of Ghana, University of Development Studies, Ghana Medical School, University of Mines & Technology, University of Education, Central University College, Institute of Professional Studies, Takoradi Polytechnic, Kumasi Polytechnic, Cape Coast Polytechnic & Sunyani Polytechnic were shocked beyond description

Planes (Hover, Erupt, Erode) by Thai artist Mit Jai Inn
In Planes (Erode) [shown here], a field of scraped impasto and pigment signposts are immersed in a sea of water and alcohol. As the spirits are absorbed and consumed over time, we will see what remains.
While his work invokes meditation on light, space and time, it also engages with Thai social-political realities.

Queen Bee
Ivanna strides onto the runway, exuding confidence and grace as the Queen Bee, her presence commanding the attention of every eye in the room. Draped in a stunning ensemble inspired by the intricate beauty of a beehive, she embodies the elegance and significance of these remarkable creatures. Bees, often hailed as the unsung heroes of our ecosystem, play a crucial role in pollinating plants, ensuring the production of fruits, vegetables, and flowers. Their tireless work supports biodiversity, sustains our food supply, and maintains the balance of nature. Ivanna's regal entrance not only celebrates her own stature but also pays homage to the vital contributions of bees to our world.
Ivanna's outfit from Irresistible is a masterclass in cohesive elegance, seamlessly integrating every detail to draw attention to her striking frame. The ensemble includes not only a meticulously crafted dress but also complementary hair , shoes, and accessories that harmonize to enhance her silhouette. Adorned with intricate bees and honeycomb jewelry, the outfit celebrates the beauty of nature's design, while the spinning bees add a refined, dynamic touch. Each element, from the golden hues to the delicate craftsmanship, culminates in a look that is both sophisticated and captivating, making Ivanna the epitome of the Queen Bee.
Ivanna feels an immense sense of pride and joy in her role as the Queen Bee, a title that resonates deeply with her appreciation for the vital work bees perform in our world. As she embodies this regal persona, she reflects on how bees tirelessly pollinate plants, contributing to the growth of our food supply and the preservation of biodiversity. This indispensable labor ensures the health of ecosystems and the sustenance of countless species, including humans. Ivanna’s pride stems not only from her own accomplishments but also from honoring the diligent bees whose efforts are crucial for life on Earth. It is this profound connection to their work that fills her with joy and a sense of purpose, reinforcing the significance of her role.

I had called up Mrs Punam Sinha mother of Sonakshi Sinha and wife of Mr Shatrughan Sinha that I was going for the Press conference of Lal Bagh Chya Raja and would invoke the Lord for Sonakshi Salman Arbaz and their film.
Bhabi as I call Mrs Punam Sinha requested me to offer ladoos a sum of 5100 and 5 tickets of Dabbang at the feet of Lal Bagh Chya Raja at the first Arti tomorrow before he sees the film first day first show.
So I gave all she gave me to my dear friend Raju Langewal to to the needful he spoke to Bhabiji too..
So this is the story of love and devotion of the Sinhas for Lal Bagh Chya Raja .
And every year I walk barefeet with Lal Bagh Chya Raja till his Immersion , and the coconuts the karya kartas give me I hand it over to her including a few other friends.
World-renowned street artist Rone’s latest exhibition / installation is in his hometown of Geelong.
Rone said of the installation at the Geelong Gallery; “My show is an ode to abandoned spaces and a reminder to value the original treasure they once were. Influenced by the architecture of the building and the toll of time, the central installation preserves an imagined moment of the space adorned at its finest and left to slowly deteriorate.”
“Featuring a push and pull between light and dark, viewers may be compelled to either end of the experience but are united in the same recognition of overall decay. The damage has been done and my installation invokes a longing for what is lost and cannot ever return.”
My photos will not do justice to the detail included in the work, nor to the beauty of Rone’s artwork. It is truly exceptional.
In June 1982, 4-VEG No.7910 arrives at Littlehampton station with a service from London Victoria.
Southern EMUs have always been something of an acquired taste. Particularly in the 1970s and early 1980s, the monotony of virtually all passenger trains carrying either blue or blue and grey livery and featuring a small number of similar designs ensured they were of limited interest.
Growing up on the Southern Electric network, for me, the nadir of these units were the 4-VEP units. By the late 1970s these high density, outer suburban units all carried blue and grey livery and could be guaranteed to invoke yawns across most of the Southern Region.
But... fear not: enter the 4-VEGs!
Passenger growth to Gatwick Airport in the 1970s convinced the Southern to 'improve' the service between Victoria and Gatwick by dedicating 12 4-VEP units to these services. To cater for the increased luggage of airport travellers, in each coach seating bays were removed and replaced by luggage racks. The fleet were reclassified as 4-VEG (with the 'G' standing for Gatwick, of course), carried "Rapid City Link Gatwick London" logos, an aeroplane symbol and were renumbered into the 79xx sequence.
While notionally dedicated to Gatwick services, occasionally they escaped onto other Central Division workings as appears to have happened here.
The VEGs were replaced in 1984 and they faded back into obscurity being converted back into VEP units and surviving until ousted by modern units in the 21st century.
Over 40 years later, while the 4-VEG are long gone, Littlehampton looks remarkably similar to this image. While the dockside crane on the river Arun on the far left has gone, the houses, semaphore signals and even the gas holder survive.

Excerpt from www.bwst.ca/the-artists/west:
Liz West
Location: A
Title: Through No.5
Material: Polycarbonate, polyester vinyl and wood
Liz West (b.1985) is a British artist known for her wide-ranging works, from the intimate to the monumental. Using a variety of materials and exploring the use of light, she blurs the boundaries between sculpture, architecture, design and painting to create works that are both playful and immersive. West has been commissioned worldwide by institutions and organisations including Natural History Museum, London Design Festival, Paris Fashion Week, Milan Design Week, National Trust, National Science and Media Museum, Dubai Design Week, Natural England, Salford University, Fortnum & Mason and Bristol Biennial. West’s work has been included in exhibitions at St Albans Museum + Gallery, Chester Cathedral, Compton Verney, Musée Nissim de Camondo in Paris, Kraftwerk Berlin, Tripostal Lille and Bangalore International Centre.
Artist Statement:
West creates vivid environments that mix luminous colour and radiant light. West aims to provoke a heightened sensory awareness in the viewer through her works. She is interested in exploring how sensory phenomena can invoke psychological and physical responses that tap into our own deeply entrenched relationships to colour. West's investigation into the relationship between colour and light is often realised through an engagement between materiality and a given site. Our understanding of colour can only be realised through the presence of light. By playing and adjusting colour, West brings out the intensity and composition of her spatial arrangements.
