Pink Ceiba, the flowers of the world's fastest growing tree! The inside of its trunk is so soft that it has 4 inch spikes to protect it from predators... giving it its nickname, Monkey Tree, because a agile monkey can climb it!
The Ceiba tree figures an important part in the mythologies of pre-Columbian Mesoamerican cultures. Several Amazonian tribes of eastern Peru believe deities live in Ceiba tree species throughout the jungle. The Maya civilization believed that Yaaxché, often depicted as a Ceiba trunk, connects the planes of the Underworld (Xibalba), the terrestrial realm and the skies. Unmistakable clusters of thick conical thorns on the Ceiba trunk were reproduced during the Classical Period on ceramic burial urns and incense holders by the southern lowland Maya.
Modern Maya still respectfully leave the tree standing when harvesting forest timber. The Ceiba tree is represented by a cross and serves as an important architectural motif in the Temple of the Cross Complex at Palenque.
Ceiba pentandra produces a light and strong fiber (kapok) used throughout history to fill life preservers, mattresses, pillows, tapestries, and dolls. Kapok has recently been replaced in commercial use by synthetic fibers. The oils of Ceiba seeds are extracted to make soap and fertilizers. The Ceiba continues to be commercialized in Asia especially in Java, Malaysia, Indonesia, the Philippines.

"Comme cet olivier sculpté par le temps et les éléments, je puise ma force dans mes racines profondes, résistant aux tempêtes avec grâce. Chaque marque sur mon tronc raconte une histoire, chaque feuille est un espoir tourné vers l'avenir."
Après une longue absence causée par un grave accident et une rééducation intensive, je reprends enfin le chemin de la photographie. Ma photo est désormais marquée d’un filigrane, car j’ai découvert que certaines avaient circulé sur les réseaux sociaux sans mon accord.
Le filigrane est donc une manière de préserver l'intégrité de mes créations, tout en gardant leur dimension poétique.
"Like this olive tree sculpted by time and the elements, I draw my strength from my deep roots, resisting storms with grace. Every mark on my trunk tells a story, every leaf is a hope turned towards the future."
After a long absence due to a serious accident and intensive rehabilitation, I'm finally returning to photography. My photos are now watermarked, as I discovered that some had been circulating on social media without my permission.
The watermark is therefore a way to preserve the integrity of my creations, while maintaining their poetic quality.
Some ropes have all the fun... Still hanging around my boats, this is really just a detail from a larger boat shot, but, its the best bit. South coast, South Australia.

Dans sa pratique artistique, Sophie Le Grand porte son regard sur les questions liées à l’écologie, aux enjeux climatiques et à la surconsommation.
A Chaudfontaine, son Jardin des 5 saisons met en scène cinq pingouins qui semblent menacés dans leur environnement naturel, une banquise en train de fondre symbolisée par des socles blancs.L’œuvre s’insère dans un jardin dont les végétaux sont aux couleurs du Festival des 5 saisons: jaune, vert, bleu, rouge et blanc.
Si ce jardin souligne l’urgence de relever les défis environnementaux, il ne nourrit certainement pas une approche catastrophiste, et souhaite, au contraire, révéler le rôle et l’implication de tous au quotidien pour préserver les équilibres naturels.
Par leur présence, les pingouins vont rappeler que le parc est un lieu d’évasion, de promenade, de rencontres et de ressourcement tout en sensibilisant au réchauffement climatique.

“It is time to float on the waters of the night.
Time to wrap my arms around this book
and press it to my chest, life preserver
in a sea of unremarkable men and women,
anonymous faces on the street,
a hundred thousand unalphabetized things,
a million forgotten hours.”
― Billy Collins, Picnic, Lightning
The interior of a Greek Orthodox Church in Athens Greece.
The Eastern Orthodox Church is the second largest single Christian communion in the world. It is considered by its adherents to be the very same Church established by Christ and his Apostles. It is composed of numerous theologically unified autocephalous ecclesial bodies, each shepherded by a synod of independent bishops whose duty, among other things, is to preserve and teach the Apostolic and Patristic traditions and related Church practices. All Orthodox bishops trace their lineage back to one of the twelve Apostles through the process of apostolic succession.
Eastern Orthodox Christians believe that the Orthodox Church is the authentic and original Christian Church established by Jesus Christ and his Apostles. As such, the Eastern Orthodox Church views its role as the preserver of the teachings and traditions given to the Early Christians by the Apostles nearly 2,000 years ago and the developer of conciliar interpretations which expand and illuminate the original teachings.

I had a hard time finding a local who could identify this tree for me. One Ilocano told me she thought the name for it is Salaysay. Whatever the name, its a great shade tree to sit under while listening to the waves roll over the tiny, smooth rocks that make up the beach in Padugpug, (north coast of Luzon Island), Ilocos, Phiiippines.

Teos was one of the most important cities of Ionia in antiquity. It was the birthplace of Anacreon the poet, Hecateus the historian, Protagoras the sophist, Scythinus the poet, Andron the geographer, and Apellicon, the preserver of the works of Aristotle.

Bonneval is een gemeente in het Franse departement Eure-et-Loir Bonneval. Het was een gefortificeerd dorp dat zijn identiteit heeft behouden.
Rond de vestingwerken van de omheining van het historische centrum stroomt de Loir in de kanalen. De overvloed aan water in het hart van de stad leverde het dorp de bijnaam "Klein Venetië van Beauce" op.
Bonneval est un village fortifié qui a su préserver son identité.
Autour des fortifications de l’enceinte du centre historique, le Loir coule dans les fossés. L’abondance de l’eau au cœur de la ville lui a valu le surnom de « petite Venise de la Beauce ».

Lord Shiva is one of the principal deities in Hinduism, revered as the "Destroyer" in the holy trinity, or Trimurti, which also includes Brahma (the Creator) and Vishnu (the Preserver). Shiva is a complex and multifaceted god, embodying both ascetic and householder aspects. He is often depicted with a third eye, a crescent moon on his head, and a snake wrapped around his neck. His primary consort is Parvati, and together they have two sons, Ganesha and Kartikeya.
Some key aspects of Lord Shiva include:
The Destroyer and Transformer: While he is known as the destroyer, his role is to remove the old and make way for transformation and new creation.
Meditation and Asceticism: Shiva is often shown in deep meditation, symbolizing detachment and spiritual wisdom.
Lord of Dance (Nataraja): One of the most famous representations of Shiva is as Nataraja, the cosmic dancer, who is believed to represent the cycle of creation, preservation, and destruction.
Symbols:
Trident (Trishul): Represents the three forces of creation, preservation, and destruction.
Damaru (Drum): Symbolizes the cosmic sound and rhythm of the universe.
Ganga: The river goddess Ganga, which flows from his matted hair, signifies purity and divine flow.
Blue Throat: This is due to the legend where Shiva drank the poison during the churning of the ocean (Samudra Manthan) to protect the world.

A narrow boat at the Gas Street basin in Birmingham. From 1795 to 1815, this was a transhipment point between Birmingham Canal Navigations and the Worcester and Birmingham Canal. Today, the canal area is a place for enjoyment rather than work.
My mind has been all over the place with images which have appeared to me in this very old tree trunk which I photographed in a nearby park. From torah finials to Vishnu avatars . . . the symbolism and metaphors have grabbed me deeply, especially during this horrendous, unsettling political time . . .
From LOTUS SCULPTURE I quote:
"Vishnu is one of the principal Hindu deities, worshiped as the protector and preserver of the world and restorer of dharma (moral order). He is known chiefly through his avatars (incarnations), particularly Rama, Krishna and Buddha.
In theory, Vishnu manifests a portion of himself anytime he is needed to fight evil, and his appearances are innumerable;
but in practice, ten incarnations are most commonly recognized."

INDONESIEN, Java, hinduistische Tempelanlage Prambanan
Candi Prambanan (auch: Candi Rara Jonggrang) ist die größte hinduistische Tempelanlage Indonesiens und einer der größten hinduistischen Tempel in Südostasien. Sie befindet sich etwa 18 km östlich von Yogyakarta auf der Insel Java. Charakteristisch ist die hohe und spitze Bauform, die typisch für hinduistische Tempel ist, sowie die strenge Anordnung zahlreicher Einzeltempel um das 47 m hohe Hauptgebäude in der Mitte.
Errichtet wurde Prambanan um das Jahr 850, entweder unter Rakai Pikatan, einem König von Mataram, oder unter Balitung Maha Sambu während der Sanjaya-Dynastie. Schon bald nach seiner Fertigstellung wurde der Tempel verlassen und begann zu verfallen. Die Tempelanlage wurde 1991 von der UNESCO als Weltkulturerbe anerkannt.
Prambanan or Rara Jonggrang translit. Rara Jonggrang) is a 9th-century Hindu temple compound in Central Java, Indonesia, dedicated to the Trimurti, the expression of God as the Creator (Brahma), the Preserver (Vishnu) and the Transformer (Shiva). The temple compound is located approximately 17 kilometres (11 mi) northeast of the city of Yogyakarta on the boundary between Central Java and Yogyakarta provinces.[1]
The temple compound, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is the largest Hindu temple site in Indonesia, and one of the biggest in Southeast Asia. It is characterized by its tall and pointed architecture, typical of Hindu architecture, and by the towering 47-metre-high (154 ft) central building inside a large complex of individual temples. Prambanan attracts many visitors from around the world.

El templo Jagdish, dedicado a Krisna, 8° reencarnación de Visnú, está hecho todo de piedra y mármol; el exterior está tallado totalmente, en hileras, en sobre-relieve. La hilera superior son las bailarinas que representan al cielo, luego las flores de loto, luego los elefantes representando la fuerza, después los hombres, mas pequeños, y por último los demonios, el infierno.
Después de subir unas escaleras se entra a la sala de oración, pero no está permitido sacar fotos, lastima. Está tallado internamente paredes y techo. En el centro hay una cúpula la cual, por fuera, termina en una estructura dorada hecha de bronce. A la entrada, sobre cada puerta, hay un tallado de Ghanesa el Dios elefante, que simboliza la prosperidad.Hay que dejar unas rupias por que te cuiden el calzado.

A long haul! Farewell 2017! You started off with heartbreak. I wasn't sure if I would be able to get back on my feet after my BFF's sudden and unexpected departure from her earthly body. This project was a struggle and a blessing. Yes, there were days when I just couldn't pick up my camera. Joy was elusive on many days, especially in the early part of the year. I would not allow myself to quit this project. It would become my life preserver in what felt like an angry sea. As joy, acceptance and balance returned...so did my creativity...my desire to share love and hope and the beauty that surrounds each and every one of us...every day...every moment. I allowed myself to fill in the gaps in this project without the judgement of failure. It was Love that started this project. It was Love that healed this tender soul and it was Love that fed the passion and creativity that completed this project.
I thank each and every one of you who took the time to view, fave, comment and inspire me. Your generosity and love was/is a guiding light. I wish for you a healthy, joyous, magical and loving 2018!
