The original photo for this artwork is of the ugliest and most drab building in the High Street. It is difficult to believe an architect designed it, there must have been a misunderstanding so I just had to give it some fresh colours and texture. It used to be a bank but three of the four banks in the town are now closed.
This photo is of one of the other closed down banks but it is an altogether more interesting building.

Taken as part of yesterday's Smile on Saturday theme of Branches and Twigs. The sky had been so so blue that I wanted to enhance the colour and turned the rest monochrome. HSS
It was my friend Edyta's birthday a couple of days ago. She asked me to dedicate a photo to her here on flickr, not any photo, but one with black and violet colours only. Edyta is a very, very good friend of mine for many years now. Sometimes we argue, sometimes we don't talk to each other, but we are still friends :-) So why not to paint a fog violet for here :-)
Jeszcze raz wszystkiego najlepszego Edi! :-)
Same photograph, different edit.
"These spectacular sculptures by Antony Gormley are on Crosby beach. Another Place consists of 100 cast-iron, life-size figures spread out along three kilometres of the foreshore, stretching almost one kilometre out to sea.
The Another Place figures - each one weighing 650 kilos - are made from casts of the artist's own body standing on the beach, all of them looking out to sea, staring at the horizon in silent expectation.
According to Antony Gormley, Another Place harnesses the ebb and flow of the tide to explore man's relationship with nature. He explains: The seaside is a good place to do this. Here time is tested by tide, architecture by the elements and the prevalence of sky seems to question the earth's substance. In this work human life is tested against planetary time. This sculpture exposes to light and time the nakedness of a particular and peculiar body. It is no hero, no ideal, just the industrially reproduced body of a middle-aged man trying to remain standing and trying to breathe, facing a horizon busy with ships moving materials and manufactured things around the planet."
The best and most beautiful things in this world cannot be seen or even heard, but must be felt with the heart.
- Helen Keller

The marine odyssey continues as we catch colours with string on sticks and "go fishing" for the rarest of deep sea creatures. We catch the odd glimpse of them under the waves.
Will they take the bait?

Child's play is all about making connections with different materials and transforming them (with the help of the imagination). After a long term, four 5 year olds visited the atelier today and wanted to continue working with different paints, colour mixing and materials. Having previously explored coloured bubble mixture, they then asked if they could paint stones. Here they mixed a glorious palette of minty greens, dusty purples and bright blues. Meanwhile the splashes of popped bubbles lingered in the background!
Holi of Barsana, the birthplace of Radha, a village, 42 kms away from Mathura, is of particular interest. Here, men from Nandgaon, the land of Krishna come to play Holi with the girls of Barsana and hope of raising their flag over Shri Radhikaji's temple. But, instead of colours they are greeted with sticks by the gopis. Hence, the Holi get its new name here-Lathmaar Holi.
Smart enough, men come fully padded as they are fully aware what kind of welcome awaits them and also the fact that they are not allowed to retaliate on that day.
In this mock battle of sorts, they try their best not to be captured. The unlucky one's however, are forcefully led away and get a good thrashing from the women. Further, they are made to wear a female attire and dance in public. All in the spirit of Holi.
Renowned poets like Surdas, Nand-das, Kumbhan-das and others have picturesquely described how Lord Krishna received similar treatment and was forced to don a sari and wear make-up and perform dance before being released by the gopies.
The next day, it is the turn of men of Barsana. They reciprocate by invading Nandgaon and drench the womenfolk of Nandgaon in colours of kesudo, naturally occurring orange-red dye and palash. Today, the women of Nadagow beat the invaders from Barsana. It is a colourful site.
However, in the interest of tourism and safety, the state tourist board has set up excellent vantage points for the public. A large open ground, on the outskirts of the town is specially set aside for the most magnificent display of the festivities.
The week long Holi celebrations also continue in the various Krishna temples on different days. The celebrations are filled with clouds of colours and of course, much fun.

We read a book about a girl called Swatch who loved colour so much that she was a colour hunter. She found all the wildest, rarest colours! Then we went on a hunt for our own and found all the colours (hiding in rainbows on the projector Lightbox)!
It doesn't take long for the atelier to be dripping and dribbling with colour after the toddlers arrive. Especially when they discover the paint sprays - a true riot of colour!

i dedicate this photo and all my wishes photos this week to Michael
it was my dearest wish to photo a bird flying in the sky. i am always taking photos of the sky but i was never able to capture a bird flying in the sky properly . i have tried and tried day after day and nothing, i would get an empty sky or a blur never a picture of a bird . i would click too early or to late . so one day i told michael my wishes and he explained all about it to me and what i would need to capture my bird in flight .
well off i went with all the advice michael gave me and extra chips batteries etc i spent days taking photos of the seagulls god i nearly died when i got the first one kept looking at the camera to check it was still there lol . my kids nearly divorced me as i just kept shooting and shooting . couldnt believe after all the years i have spent trying to get this shot how easy it was when you share your dream with someone who really wants to help you make that dream come true, wish i had of known about flickr years ago and met mr magic then, it would have saved me years of standing in the freezing cold trying to get this shot .

The children from Nursery 2 Golden Sun experiment with droppers and ink on ticket roll paper. Here, the excitement comes from simple experiments of cause and effect, as their busy little hands master the ink dropper.
Squeeze, splat! Where will the ink land and what marks will they make?

Submitted to monthly scavenger hunt - October 2010 (day 1/365)
Through the wedge of huts,the twilight swept in
As another day settled and dusk readied to appear
Faraway a lone tree spread and stood
In the dusky light sweeping the golden wheat fields
The grass, a fluroscent green
With the vigorous evening sun colouring it high
The brick walls were a copper hinted red
The thatches crude and lopsided in their hold
A quaint charm prevailed and i longed even more
To rush back and look around
Through the wedge of huts, where the twilight swept in....
