At bedtime, this girl plays him like a violin.
Pulls every cute trick out of the hat for a belly rub.
Yup, he falls for her charms every...single...time...
Young Eurasian Lynx sisters doing the greeting ritual. This is a ritual that they perform with their mother or their siblings every time they meet after a short or long time apart. It is very rare to see so old lynx siblings doing this as they usually live alone at this age.
Thanks to everyone who takes the time to view, comment, and fave my photo.

Day 8 of Single in July with the Vivitar 28mm f2.8.
Coffee!
Edit: just noticed the EXIF shows no flash, in fact there was an off camera flash attached with a cable off to the side.
There are plenty of interactive areas, including dancing, a ferris wheel, haunted houses, and a creepy Nazgul ritual (which we gate-crashed). The train stops at different stations so you can get off and explore.

What a night!! What a collaboration!
Mike (TxPilot) and I first talked about light painting at the Stonehenge II site about a year ago, but we found out that it had been dismantled and was going to be destroyed. Then it found a new home in Ingram, TX about 7 miles away. Mike contacted the people in charge of the move and we found out that the relocation had just been completed 3 weeks ago, so we scrambled together a collab of 8 people and headed out there.
This is me doing a spin on the Altar.

New York City, September 2017
Several years ago, I took this image on the crowdiest bridge of New York City. Only, this moment was carefully chosen: an early morning where the bridge bathed in sunlight and, of course, with hardly any people.
Just a few enthusiasts, like me.

OK, get ready now because this will be a long description :)
But i really think that to be able to see the inner beauty of this ceremony, some key points should be explained. Here is some information that i've collected about Sema:
Sema means "acceptance by tradition" in Turkish, etymologically the root word comes from Persian. It is part of the inspiration of Mevlana Celaleddin-i Rumi (1207- 1273; a poet, Islamic jurist, theologian and mystic) as well as of Turkish custom, history, beliefs and culture.
Sema is a symbolic ritual through which dervishes (also called semazens) aim to reach the "perfect"(kemal). The aim is to abandon one's nafs, egos or personal desires, by listening to God and the music (hence the term sema), thinking about God.
In the symbolism of the Sema ritual, the semazen's camel's hair hat (sikke) represents the tombstone of the ego; his wide, white skirt represents the ego's shroud. By removing his black cloak, he is spiritually reborn to the truth.
At the beginning of the Sema, by holding his arms crosswise the semazen appears to represent the number one, thus testifying to God's unity. While whirling, his arms are open: his right arm is directed to the sky, ready to receive God's beneficence; his left hand, upon which his eyes are fastened, is turned toward the earth. The semazen conveys God's spiritual gift to those who are witnessing the Sema. Revolving from right to left around the heart, the semazen embraces all humanity with love. The human being has been created with love in order to love.
From a scientific viewpoint we witness that contemporary science definitely confirms that the fundamental condition of our existence is to revolve. There is no object, no being which does not revolve and the shared similarity among beings is the revolution of the electrons, protons and neutrons in the atoms, which constitute the structure of each of them. As a consequence of this similarity, everything revolves and man carries on his live, his very existence by means of the revolution in the atoms, structural stones of his body, by the revolution of his blood, by his coming from the earth and return to it, by his revolving with earth itself.
The ceremony in this video performed by Mustafa Erdogan's Anadolu Ateşi (Fire of Anatolia), as a part of a dance show which has the concept of meeting of the civilizations from east and west in Anatolia, Turkey.
Great crested grebe
Большая поганка (чомга)
"With orange and black head plumes spread wide, an elegant ritual of head shaking, bill-dipping and preening culminates in the famous ‘penguin dance’, when the pair rush together, paddling their feet frantically to raise upright from the water, standing chest to chest, flicking a beak-full of water weed at each other before one final shake of the head and the weed is dropped, and the deal is clinched." (from www.wildlifetrusts.org/sway-dancing-grebes)
"Чомги плывут друг к другу, перья воротника распущены, птицы трясут головами и сплываются вплотную. Затем встают в воде вертикально, в «позу пингвина», держа в клюве пучки водорослей и предлагают друг другу в качестве подарка." (Вики)
Это финальный танец, а потому его редко можно увидеть.

"Ours is a psychological age rather than an institutional one. What use to be done for use by institutional structures and through ritual process, we now have to do inside ourselves, for ourselves. Ours is a culture of the individual rather than the collective."Robert Moore & Douglas Gillette (King, Warrior, Magician, Lover)
In a sumo training stable, the person responsible for holding the salt bowl is usually a junior wrestler or a low-ranking member of the stable. This duty is considered a humble and essential task. Before a sumo match, it is a tradition for wrestlers to purify themselves and the ring by tossing salt as a symbolic gesture. The person holding the salt bowl provides it to the wrestler, ensuring they have an ample supply for the ritual before they enter the ring. The salt purification ritual is a significant part of sumo culture, symbolizing the purification of the ring and the removal of evil spirits.
