Labourers working on a resort construction project,
take a break and head towards their base.. situated on the neighboring island,
where food and lodging is arranged.
Recently, the Labour Ministry reluctantly announced the figures of 'legal' immigrant workers in Maldives at around 75k. Not big.. they must have emphasized, when considering the amount of projects currently underway.
But it is very big, when compared to the local population, currently at around 350k.
That is roughly 1:4 ratio of foreigner to every Maldivian citizen. Young and old included.
In some local village Islands which are in close proximity to construction sites, the figure escalate to alarming levels, which also lead to much tension between groups and hence lead to many unwanted social problems.
There are approximately, 30 newly leased resorts, 11 airports and over 60 harbour dredging projects.. in addition to the numerous building construction projects underway (or about to begin) in the Capital City and in the islands.
If this is not big, then big is certainly on the way shortly.
The Government is taking steps to develop three mega cities in the following zones.. Gulhi Falhu, Bodu Mohoraa and Ihavandhippolhu.

This is a partial façade of the Kaleidoscope, a building in London. I like its interplay of structure, light, and reflection. The building becomes a silent theater, where geometric precision meets fleeting moments - birds in flight, fragments of sky, and shifting shadows. Each perspective angle reveals something new: the left is quiet with reflection and migrating birds and step-by-step to the right the intensity changes into a more intense colourful rhythmic palette. It’s a meditation on how perception shapes reality, inviting us to find beauty in transformation and the ever-changing world around us.
Here's the final artwork for the CD sleeve. It will be a limited run of music performed by our church band. I changed the overall balance, added the "Shift" text and changed the "framed" image (which I shot yesterday). I like the final outcome, hopefully it will interest people.

Shifting light - The view from the Quiraing looking down the Trotternish Ridge with some intense fragments of light picking out the features of Cleat and Dun Dubh.
Early morning atmospheric conditions bringing out the best that Skye has to offer, with the welcome break in the clouds revealing that magical Skye light that makes this such a special landscape.

Beneath a sky fractured by shifting clouds, Lofoten’s peaks rise in jagged defiance, their edges etched against the dimming light like the script of an ancient, undeciphered language. Golden beams, sharp and fleeting, lance through the mist, not to illuminate but to sculpt—carving lines of impermanence into the rugged stone, as if the universe were writing an ode to its own imperfection.
The mountains do not stand; they loom, timeless yet restless, their forms whispering of upheaval and stillness in the same breath. Mist coils through the valleys, not as concealment, but as something alive, something uncertain—an interlude between revelation and obscurity. The scene feels less like a landscape and more like a question suspended in the air, unanswered and unanswerable, vibrating with quiet intensity.
This is no harmony, no serene moment of balance; it is a collision—a struggle between light and shadow, permanence and decay. The peaks are not guardians or monuments; they are the earth’s raw truth laid bare, fractured, unyielding, yet strangely vulnerable beneath the weight of the sky’s indifferent gaze. The light does not caress them—it strikes, refracts, vanishes, leaving no promise of return.
In this tableau, the boundaries of self dissolve. To behold it is to teeter on the edge of comprehension, caught between the transient and the eternal. The mountains seem less a part of the earth and more a rupture in it, a place where the world has torn itself open to reveal something both terrifying and profound: a reminder that existence is neither fixed nor fleeting but an ongoing act of becoming, always at the mercy of forces beyond understanding.

Experiment in tilt-shift effect on the picture of a car on fire in Brussels, for a blogpost at houbi.com/?p=623.
This was when bystanders and a police patrol that was in the neighbourhood tried to put out the fire. They only had a little bit of success when they pulled out the firehose from my office building onto the street. But the fire kept coming back. Then the firemen arrived.
The orginal picture (made with an Iphone btw) is this one.
The steps are as in this tutorial.
Being free to work in a simple shift dress is a wonderful treat! Most of all when it's such a beautiful fit.
This morning when I walked into the living room a beam of light was shining on my painting Shift in an otherwise dimly lit space. A lovely moment as I finish a new painting of Temma's hand for the group exhibition opening this Friday from 5 to 8 pm Hofheimer Gallery in Chicago. Hope to see you there!
