'Kintsukuroi is the general concept of highlighting or emphasizing imperfections, visualizing mends and seams as an additive or an area to celebrate or focus on, rather than absence or missing pieces.'

Nefekalum's fab new materials tattoo, Medusa's Gaze, reminded me a lot of the Japanese art of Kintsuku - especially with the gold in the gaps of the cracks. I added cinphul's carnal headpiece [I turned it upside down for a different look] and completed the entire outfit with various pieces for that otherworldly Mage look. Yes, the diet is going well...

....had to wait for something more interesting than snow ;)
These babies finally made an appearance. The first signs of spring. Gives me hope, even though there’s still snow in the forecast !!
The Church was built in 1799 on the former Caminho dos Pinheiros, today Rua da Consolação, with the help of alms from devotees to Our Lady of Consolation and with the endorsement of the diocesan bishop Mateus de Abreu Pereira were able to begin its construction, with the technique of taipa, quite common at the time. The oldest record of its construction is a document transcribed by Jacinto Ribeiro, in which it attributes the idealization of the temple to the faithful Luiz da Silva and his brothers. Located in a boggy and marshy region there is another document proving the Church's ancient existence: on November 23, 1803, an office was registered that showed the need for drinking water for the residents of the neighborhood "Nossa Senhora da Consolação". In view of the custom of baptizing the district with religious names, mainly related to sanctuaries, the Church, besides already existing, corresponded to an important piece for the functioning of the region. And, in the year 1810, a plant in the city of São Paulo contained the chapel.

A previously unpublished shot from August 2020. I really miss those snippets of conversation. the fragments of other peoples lives, that you could hear as you walked around the city. Something that was actually represented really well in the Grand Theft Auto series of video games! If you could string all of those snippets together I wonder what the resulting chaotic narrative would be. Enjoy!

Florence, the capital of Tuscany, is an open-air museum. Here, I will post some photos of the city taken during the festive season. There was no snow, but that didn't stop the city from dressing up in festive clothes.
Between the pages
in a book of long ago.
Are written the things
only butterflies know.
Special are the leaves
that they've inscribed.
With the secrets of life
that their little one's abide.
If only we knew
the butterfly's way.
We wouldn't be working
while the butterflies play.

The colours of leaves during the different seasons can be quite the sight to see. During late autumn to early winter, the reddish to orange leaves contrasted with the green leaves of others shows the different stages of the four seasons.
In March of 2018, I was returning from one of my solo trips to Canada and decided to take an extra travel day, stopping at the Sacramento and Colusa NWRs. The first afternoon, I explored Sacramento NWR until sundown and was enchanted; the following morning, in the freezing, pitch black before dawn and breakfast, I was out of my motel and at Colusa.
Surrounded by thousands of Snow Geese rising up from the dark pond where they had spent the night, heading into the sunrise, I started to plan my next visit.
Up until this moment, I had thought the distance from home to these NWRs too far to do in a single day making the logistics concerning our dogs too complicated (at the time, there were no nearby, dog-friendly hotels). It wasn't until October that I was able to return with my husband... and the pups, of course. Since then, we have made the 5-hour, round trip many times over. The drive is nothing when rewarded by this kind of magic.
We consider ourselves lucky to have these parks so close.
Juma Mosque (Uzbek: Juma masjid / Жума масжид, lit. 'Friday Mosque') is a 10th–18th century mosque in Khiva, Uzbekistan. It is one of the principal monuments of Itchan Kala, the walled old city of Khiva, which is a World Heritage Site. It stands in the middle of Itchan Kala, on the road connecting the west gate (Ota darvoza) and the east gate (Polvon darvoza). The mosque was first documented in the 10th century, but it was rebuilt in 1788.
It is a large one-story brick building with a flat roof, supported by 212 wooden columns in 17 rows. Its total size is 55 x 46 m, and its minaret is 42 m high.
View of the Mosel river from the Prinzenkopf lookout tower, it's a wonderful viewpoint all year, but on a clear autumn day it feels even more special, my plan is to back there next month, not to the same viewpoint, there are so many spots with spectacular views around there, the problem is the weather, low clouds are drawn to the valley like flies to shit when the vineyards are are at their most colorful, but there can be bright spells in the afternoon, hoping for the best.
The Gap of Dunloe is a narrow mountain pass running north-south in County Kerry, Ireland, that separates the MacGillycuddy's Reeks Mountain range in the west and the Purple Mountain Group range in the east. It is one of the most popular sites in Ireland and offers beautiful views of Ireland's gorgeous mountain terrain.

Portrait of Fritz, my ginger cat. A wonderful companion for 13 years. Photographed here with my Canon EOS 60D at Castle Hill, north-western Sydney.
Forbes of Kingennie is a country retreat I spent the weekend at a few weeks ago. It’s a beautiful place where you can hire a lodge or a private cabin, spend an enjoyable day fishing in the well-stocked reserves, golfing on the private course or one of many other fun activities that I didn't get to try because I was daft enough to be getting up long before dawn to take photographs.
Actually the morning sunrise was so stunning that I’m pretty sure I got the better part of the deal and at least I wasn't among those that were so hungover that they could face the sun when eventually they did rise.
The shot is centred on the main building of the complex with rental lodges and holiday homes either side. Taken at approximately 5 minutes after the sun broke the horizon it was captured in a single frame taken over 15 seconds with an ND filter to help smooth what little movement there was in the water.
Sights of beauty come soothe my eyes.
Paint pictures pure to flay disguise,
Unchartered coastlines to appraise.

Antietam National Battlefield Park, Maryland.
This lovely Maryland countryside is quiet today, simple farmland near the small city of Sharpsburg. Gentle rolling hills, clusters of vibrant trees and fields of corn adorn the area to make for a generally beautiful landscape.
But on September 17th, 1862, this ground endured the single bloodiest day in United States military history, the Battle of Antietam, named after the creek that defined much of the battlefield. This tragic battle during the American Civil War cost a combined total of 22,717 dead, wounded, or missing, and their loss echoes here today in monuments, legacy fences, and key historic locations as part of the Antietam National Battlefield Park. The Park is well worth visiting and surprisingly beautiful, an interesting contrast to the battle that took place there.
This photo was taken from the Sunken Road Observation Tower, looking Southwest.

Days of Rain
06/02/2021
With little happening in the way of photography these days I decided to set the alarm for 4am this morning and head on up the coast to see what I could find.
After many years of chasing light I have come to learn that unsettled and unpromising weather cells often produce some of the best conditions, so with the forecast over the central coast calling for a mixed combination of cloud altitude and a high chance of rain I decided that the gamble was worth it.
Seascapes were the foundation of my photography and life behind a camera and, despite rarely shooting them these days I do still really enjoy them.
Here’s a shot from Forresters Beach on the central coast, captured just a few minutes before sunrise. As I had hoped, the quality of the light was fantastic and helped make my return to seascape photography a worthwhile one.
View large and, as always, thanks for looking!
The unmistakable outline of a bird of prey hovering overhead searching for its next meal. This was a whistling kite alongside the banks of the Murray River at Mannum in South Australia.
Original was an almost black and white silhouette shot but after lots of sliding, it became a low key negative of the original.
Happy Slider Sunday!
South of Crianlarich and north of Loch Lomond you find the Falls of Falloch as the river runs south into Loch Lomond. It is known as Eas Falloch in Gaelic meaning "hidden falls".
Reputed to be a haunt of Rob Roy who came to swim here. Maybe he did....whatever happened it is a beautiful location.
