The stone sculptures in Sno, a small village in the Kazbegi region of Georgia, are part of a remarkable art project in the Caucasus. These sculptures consist of impressive stone artworks depicting giant faces, often with a melancholic or mysterious expression. They were created by local artist Merab Piranishvili, who is renowned for his unique ability to bring faces and emotions to life in natural stone. Working primarily with local stones, he carves expressive facial features that tell stories about life, the soul, and the deep connection with nature. The sculptures symbolize the ancient wisdom of the mountain dwellers and the spirit of the past. The faces sometimes appear sad or contemplative, reflecting both the challenges and the beauty of life in the Caucasus. Fully integrated into the surrounding landscape, the sculptures stand among the mountains, hills, and rugged grasslands, blending seamlessly with their natural environment. This is what makes Piranishvili’s work so unique: he respects the natural shapes of the stones and subtly adds human characteristics without compromising their raw, natural beauty. Piranishvili often works directly in the field, selecting local stones and carving them with a hammer and chisel. He carefully considers the natural form of each stone, adapting his designs to create a result that looks organic and harmonizes with the surrounding environment.
Sno is located near the breathtaking Stepantsminda area and the imposing Mount Kazbegi. The stone sculptures are a hidden gem in this region, attracting an increasing number of art enthusiasts and travelers. The site exudes a serene, almost meditative atmosphere—perfect for those seeking something unique off the beaten path. If you ever find yourself near Kazbegi, these sculptures are well worth a visit. They offer a truly unique experience where art and nature come together in perfect harmony.
De stenen sculpturen in Sno, een klein dorpje in de Kazbegi-regio van Georgië, maken deel uit van een bijzonder kunstproject in de Kaukasus. De sculpturen bestaan uit indrukwekkende stenen kunstwerken van gigantische gezichten, die vaak een melancholische of mysterieuze uitstraling hebben. Ze zijn gecreëerd door de lokale kunstenaar Merab Piranishvili, die bekendstaat om zijn unieke vaardigheid om gezichten en emoties tot leven te brengen in natuursteen. Hij werkt voornamelijk met lokale stenen en geeft ze expressieve gezichtsuitdrukkingen die verhalen vertellen over het leven, de ziel en de diepe verbondenheid met de natuur. De sculpturen symboliseren de oude wijsheid van de bergbewoners en de geest van het verleden. De gezichten tonen soms een droevige of reflectieve uitdrukking, wat de uitdagingen én de schoonheid van het leven in de Kaukasus weerspiegelt. De beelden zijn volledig geïntegreerd in het omringende landschap: ze staan tussen de bergen, heuvels en het ruige grasland, waardoor ze naadloos opgaan in hun natuurlijke omgeving. Dit maakt het werk van Piranishvili zo uniek: hij respecteert de oorspronkelijke vormen van de stenen en voegt subtiel menselijke kenmerken toe, zonder hun ruwe, natuurlijke schoonheid aan te tasten. Sno ligt vlakbij het adembenemende berggebied Stepantsminda en de imposante Kazbegi-berg. De stenen sculpturen zijn een verborgen juweel in deze regio en trekken steeds meer kunstliefhebbers en reizigers aan. De plek straalt een rustige, bijna meditatieve sfeer uit, ideaal voor wie op zoek is naar iets unieks buiten de gebaande paden. Piranishvili werkt meestal direct in het veld, waarbij hij natuursteen uit de regio selecteert en met hamer en beitel bewerkt. Hij houdt rekening met de oorspronkelijke vormen van de steen en past zijn ontwerpen hierop aan, zodat het eindresultaat natuurlijk oogt en harmonieert met de omgeving. Als je ooit in de buurt van Kazbegi bent, mag je deze sculpturen zeker niet missen. Ze bieden een bijzondere ervaring waarin kunst en natuur op een unieke manier samensmelten!
أعلم أن أمنيتي في أن أبقى بقرب من أريد لا يمكن أن تتحقق كل مره ..
فهاهم الذين أردت بقائهم بقربي يذهبون الواحد تلو الآخر..
لا لشيء "
أو ربما كان شيء ولكن لم أكن انا من أذنبت بهـ..
ولكن رغم فراقهم لي من دون ذنب إقترفته يداي
فهم مسامحين من أعماق قلبي لا لشيء أيضا
إلا
لآنهم كانوا بقربي يوما"..
if U like it : C mashallah ~

“We stood there, looking at each other, saying nothing.
But it was the kind of nothing that meant everything.
In his eyes, there was no trace of what had happened between us earlier
and I could feel something inside me break.
So that was that. We were finally, finally over.
I looked at him, and I felt so sad, because this thought occurred to me:
'I will never look at you the same way again.
I'll never be that girl again.
The girl who comes running back every time you push her away,
the girl who loves you anyway.'
I couldn’t even be mad at him, because this was who he was.
This was who he’d always been.
He’d never lied about that.
He gave and then he took away.
I felt it in the pit of my stomach, the familiar ache,
that lost, regretful feeling only he could give me.
I never wanted to feel it again. Never, ever.
Maybe this was why I came, so I could really know.
So I could say good-bye.
I looked at him, and I thought,
'If I was very brave or very honest, I would tell him.'
I would say it, so he would know it and I would know it,
and I could never take it back.
But I wasn’t that brave or honest,
so all I did was look at him. And I think he knew anyway.
'I release you.
I evict you from my heart.
Because if I don't do it now, I never will.'
I was the one to look away first.”
― Jenny Han, It's Not Summer Without You

“Few will have the greatness to bend history itself, but each of us can work to change a small portion of events. It is from numberless diverse acts of courage and belief that human history is shaped. Each time a man stands up for an ideal, or acts to improve the lot of others, or strikes out against injustice, he sends forth a tiny ripple of hope, and crossing each other from a million different centers of energy and daring those ripples build a current which can sweep down the mightiest walls of oppression and resistance.”
― Robert F. Kennedy
"consider the implications. We think we know what we want, but we can never really know until we've got it. And sometimes when we have, we discover we never really wanted it in the first place- but then it's too late." - Alexandra Potter; "Be Careful What You Wish For"

As simple as that.

Make a Wish!
I Made a wish. Since comet Ison disintegrated I waited for the day I could see a comet naked eye. I tried several times. Light pollution in Athens had a different opinion. I didn’t give up hope. My summer holidays was at a bortle 2 sky. It was the time that the comet made the transition from morning to evening skies. So, there it was, a star with a tail, the most exciting thing I have seen in my life. When I think of it, gives me goosebumps! So make your wish and never stop trying to fulfill it.
This shot had a lot of planning and a big help from my girlfriend. It was made with an old Jupiter 21M 200mm f4 from 1975 and my modded A7s. I had a custom white balance color profile inside my camera that I used which gave the purple tone I wanted.
Exif:
Sony a7s, Jupiter 21m 200mm f4
Foreground 1x2sec iso 8000
Comet 1x20sec tracked with star adventurer
Blend in Ps
You can see more poses, watch a small video with the comet above the model and read all about my process, the problems and mistakes I made about with this shot at my blog www.star-surfing.com/blog/neowise.
Thank you and Godspeed the comet Neowise!
It was pouring with rain yesterday and, of course, lockdown was in force so it was time to prowl round the house in search of still life shots.

Practice Makes Perfect - A couple weeks ago, I observed a cooperative immature Red-tailed Hawk on a family hike. I didn't get the shots I wanted that day, but figured I'd try again.
My buddy and I were treated to almost an hour of great passes by this hawk during a windy morning as it practiced hunting and chased a group of Turkey Vultures around. Was a great opportunity to practice bird in flight (BIF) techniques!
