Purification fountains can be found everywhere in modern Japan, including private gardens, homes, and businesses. At all Shinto shrines, worshippers and casual visitors are asked to purify themselves (Harai ) of impurity before praying to the Shinto deities. The act of cleansing is called Misogi, and the actual washing of hands and mouth with water is called Temizu. An associated term is Imi, meaning "abstention from defilement." Most large shrines have a stone wash basin where worshippers and casual visitors rinse their mouth and hands before approaching the deity (most people no longer rinse their mouth). Sometimes a fire is burning in the shrine compound, and people will waft the smoke over their heads (to catch the blessings of the deity or to burn away their impurities, kanna?). Some Japanese still practice the old tradition of sprinkling water at the gate of their home in the morning and evening to purify the family environs.

Please have a look at my albums:
If you are walking in Ghent, you can come across this statue of angel of purification. Mind you, it doesn't look anything like angel or purification ;)
the architecture inside this purification plant is really unusual, but very nice. this plant is over 100 years old and had to close several years ago, since theres a new one next to it.
Purification of Orestes at Delphi inspired by Aeschylus’ tragedy “Eumenides”.
On the left is an Ionic column, indicating the temple, and by it a “bucranion” with wreath, from which hangs a sacrificial “vitta”, band or decoration of sacred persons and sacred things. Orestes to left, beardless, with white pilos at back of neck, and bordered chlamys over left arm, kneels on left knee at the base of the “omphalos”, clinging to it with left arm, with sword extended in right hand as if to ward off the Furies, and sheath in left; the omphalos is covered with the “agrenon”. Behind Orestes stands Apollo with two laurel-leaves in right hand, with which he sprinkles the blood over him; he is beardless, with hair in a knot, bordered chlamys and laurel-branch over left arm, in left hand a phiale. On the altar are two large acanthus-leaves; it bears an imitation inscription, apparently modern.

Giant purification tank, with rusty Hobo truck.
Syncretia/Citrinitas is an alchemical power plant which utilizes the water pumped from the Black Mountain for alchemical purposes. This water is cycled through the fairy chimneys at Syncretia/Cappadocia, after which it begins its long journey across the plains of the northern shore. The acquisition of alchemical properties is initiated during this phase: As it progresses the water gains in density. In the plant proper the water is further treated to the point where it can actually turn dross to gold! The two Hobo trucks inside the huge containers are currently undergoing treatment. One unexpected byproduct is a rejuvenating elixir! Sitting inside one of the spheres below the purification tanks can create wonders, not only in therms of appearance but also of state of mind!
From the wellspring within an evergreen primeval forest, Nachi Waterfall is Japan's tallest waterfall, with an uninterrupted drop of 133 meters.
The waterfall is appreciated for its natural beauty, but also worshipped as the dwelling of Shinto deity.
In Shinto, kami are spirits or deities that inhabit natural phenomena. Nachi Falls itself is worshipped as a kami, specifically called Hirō Gongen, a manifestation of the waterfall deity.
In Shinto, water is purifying, and Nachi Falls is one of the most powerful symbols of this concept. It’s used in rituals of misogi (purification), where practitioners may stand under smaller cascades to cleanse body and spirit. The sheer force of Nachi’s plunge is a dramatic, awe-inspiring representation of nature's power to purify.

"William E. Dever Crib (left) connected via a footbridge to the Carter H. Harrison Crib (right) off North Avenue Beach northeast of downtown Chicago.
"The water cribs in Chicago are structures built to house and protect offshore water intakes used to supply the City of Chicago with drinking water from Lake Michigan. Water is collected and transported through tunnels located close to 200 feet (61 m) beneath the lake, varying in shape from circular to oval, and ranging in diameter from 10 to 20 feet (3.0 to 6.1 m). The tunnels lead from the water cribs to Pumping Stations located onshore, then to water purification plants Jardine Water Purification Plant (the world's largest) and the Sawyer Water Purification Plant (operating since 1947), where the water is then treated before being pumped to all parts of the city as well as 118 suburbs.
"The city has had nine permanent cribs of which six are still standing and two are in active use." [source: Wikipedia]

Experimenting again. This was the first time i tried to wrap smb entirely inside newspapers. It took me 1 hour and 8 newspapers :)
The figure on this pic represents the grey brainwashed mass of our society. And as he lays under the heap of leaves, he purifies himself. And connects to Earth.
This is the first photo from one of my other project. More coming soon.
As always, all positive (including negative if explaned) comments are welcome :)
