Encounter, part 2. This is the same cinnamon Black Bear seen in yesterday's post. Its body language is very different. It takes a worried bear to give me a look like that. Interesting comparison, I think.
After I'd been working with it alone for 15 minutes or so and this bear had accepted me as non-threatening, along came a couple of tourists in their car. There was a slight bend in the road behind me, where my car was, about 50 feet away and slightly to the right. Instead of pulling up directly behind me, they stopped 75 feet short, triangulating the bear. Behind the bear was a mountain wall.
Its stress level went straight up. Ears back, fear in its eyes. I began talking to it in a soft voice and slowly backing up, trying not to trip over roots and branches, while it considered possible options. And all ended well, as I was able to give it a clear escape path, which it took.
Then I walked over and had a little talk with the tourists. I was calm. You can't teach people by yelling at them. I told them they had created a dangerous situation for me, and why: "You effectively surrounded the bear, and that put me at risk."
Of course, I knew from the start this might happen. I had my own escape route in mind all along. After a few minutes with this bear, I was pretty sure we could read each other and no one would get his nose out of joint. But tourists always increase the danger level, because "reading" wildlife is a foreign concept to them and they unwittingly do dumb things. I'd much rather photograph bears in the back country.

The church is a Co-cathedral to the Eparchy of Piana degli Albanesi of the Italo-Albanian Catholic Church, a diocese which includes the Italo-Albanian (Arbëreshë) communities in Sicily who officiate the liturgy according to the Byzantine Rite in the Koine Greek language and Albanian language. The Church bears witness to the Eastern religious and artistic culture still present in Italy today, further enhanced by the Albanian exiles who took refuge in southern Italy and Sicily from the 15th century under the pressure of Turkish-Ottoman persecutions in Albania and the Balkans. The latter influence has left considerable traces in the painting of icons, in the religious rite, in the language of the parish, in the traditional customs of some Albanian colonies in the province of Palermo. The community is part of the Catholic Church, but follows the ritual and spiritual traditions that largely share it with the Eastern Orthodox Church.
The church is characterized by a multiplicity of styles that meet, since, through the succession of centuries, it was enriched by various tastes in art, architecture and culture. Today, it stands as a church-historical monument, and subject to protection.
The Forehall is decorated with later frescoes of comparatively little artistic significance. The frescoes in the middle part of the walls are from the 18th century, attributed to the flemish painter Guglielmo Borremans.
Since 3 July 2015 it has been part of the UNESCO World Heritage Site known as Arab-Norman Palermo and the Cathedral Churches of Cefalù and Monreale.

This lovely woman is Chrystal, who has tried to teach me American Sign Language (sadly Canadians use American sign) for the last two semesters. She is a lovely, bright and funny woman. When she was a little girl, the doctors told her parents she was retarded because of her inability to speak. I'd say perhaps they were the ones with the problem. Turns out she was only operating with 15 % of her hearing. Since then, she has lost it all. She uses a cochlear implant to hear and is fluent in sign as well as an excellent lip reader.
Tonight I write my final exam for Level 2. I've been reviewing so long I'm getting cross-eyed, or cross-fingered more accurately. The end of this class means I get a certificate. Yee haw!
Back to work.

This evening was the opening party @ Nitroglobus for Wicked Eiren's exhibition 'Body Language/The Invisible Woman' with awesome music by DJ Niels and ditto particles by Kurk Mumfuzz.
Due to long lasting SL errors upon login, which made all visitors orange clouds except for a few who were already present, the party had some hick ups. Luckily Lalitha and Milena Carbone, who performed an awesome contemporary ballet, were visible to all. Thanks again to Haiku who was willing to step in at last moment and take my place in the ballet. Yeah me too I was a cloud.
Sincere thanks to all main players and to all the visitors who stayed till the very end of DJ Niels's set.
To all those who were unable to tp in: Wick's images will be on the walls of Nitroglobus till the end of July.

We waited for a long-time watching Mom resting near the jackal den. The little ones were hidden underground. After quite a while we could see Dad coming from a distance away. Mom didn’t see him until he got close and the greeting he received was worth the wait. She ran for him, showing with body language and licks just how happy she was to see him. He accepted the love with aloof dignity! (Black-backed Jackal – Lupulella mesomelas) (Sony a1, 400mm f/2.8 with a 1.4 extender for 560mm @ f/4, 1/1250 second, ISO 1600)
Sign Language is a visual means of communicating using gestures, facial expression, and body language. Sign Language is used mainly by people who are Deaf or have hearing impairments.
Most Deaf people who use sign language in the UK use British Sign Language (BSL); like English, it has its own grammar, syntax and lexicons.
BSL has been around for centuries and was created by deaf people forming communities throughout the UK. The first official record of BSL was at a wedding ceremony at St. Martin's Church in Leicester, 1576.

Completed in 1873 the Hall of Languages is the oldest building at Syracuse University. For 14 years it was the university's only building.
It is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
For 122 Pictures in 2022 #58 "Language of Flowers". I wasn't sure what language they speak (Petalan? Pollenesian?), so I just took one of a vase full of them just standing there quietly.

I heard a terrifying scream."I am dying". This is my sad story about trees ...
Respect them so quickly they leave. One day we will understand what we have lost, but it may be too late to save them.I wish it was just a bad dream. Let's wake up ...
If, like me, you hear "Help me." of your tree friends, please add today on your Flickr, a picture of a tree with the title "If trees could talk". Join those who understand the language of trees.
It's never too late to help.
I hope flickr becomes a virtual one big forest of great trees.
Will you join?
If you agree, I will gladly add your photo in the gallery "If trees could talk"
I greet everyone.
