The Void Remains - by Dirk DZIMIRSKY - 2016
Charcoal/acrylic on canvas
Dirk Dzimirsky is a German artist best known for his hyper realistic drawings depicting human beings in a dark mood, thus revealing the vulnerability and tragedy present in their condition. He utilizes the interplay of light and shadow combined with extreme detail to create a melancholy mood in his images. In translating photographs into drawings, he wishes to go beyond merely recreating a single instant in time and instead create a photographic snapshot representing the culmination of his life experiences with others, succinctly encapsulated in the subject’s gaze (comment from Pixelelco - reddit webpage)

These forlorn remains of a once thriving farm near Manlius,IL.have been decaying for a long time. In this area,I counted 5 farmsites along a two mile stretch that are either abandoned or have no farmhouses and are used for storage.What's ironic is this area along Interstate 80 stretching east to Princeton,IL. contains some of the most fertile land in the northern half of Illinois.Fertile land that cannot support successful smaller farmers. Its a sad fact in today's farming economy. These days you have to be big to achieve those economies of scale to survive...

Little piles of kelp and tire tracks left behind by the receding tide.
I don't remember for sure which beach this was, but I think it was just a little north of Davenport, just outside of Santa Cruz, California.
In 1890 (Meiji 23), a battery was placed on the top of Hinoyama in Shimonoseki City, and it was used as an important military base. It was a place where entry was prohibited until after World War II.

Taken at the 2022 Lorne Biennale.
The theme this year was "Spirit of Place".
This was one of my favourites, and I loved the quote...
"The sea cares not for our castles, our riches, our triumphs, or our failures.
It cares nothing for our dreams.
The shimmering sea simply does not care.
All it knows is the warmth of our skin, the weight of our hearts and the depth of our breath."
Many thanks for your visits, kind comments and faves, very much appreciated.

I'm not sure what kind of bird this was, perhaps a duck. It was under trees near a pond. Beautiful feathers, though!
The gatehouse is all that remains of Alnwick Abbey, which dates back to the 12th century.
Without doing any digging, my feeling is that this must be a re-construction since it is so intact and without a trace of the rest of the buildings (which were on the far side of the gatehouse).
It's located in a section of Hulne Park without public access and so has to be photographed from a public road (& over a 5ft high wall!).
