Trying to photograph deer at Bartel Grassland can be a bit frustrating. The deer are really skittish! To the point where I see deer running and think to myself...that cant be from me I'm about 300 yards away from you.

However, the last couple weekends I've come across this buck here. He not only doesn't seem afraid of me, but seems to adjust his path so he walks right past me, as close as 10 feet. Normally during the rutting season this would make me nervous. I've encountered bucks that seem to be on a doe mission, grunting as they walk and you think...I might not want to get close to this one. This guy never seems agitated or gave any signs of aggression, just more curious.

It's hard on all of us, even cats. We'll get through this...

He kept his distance and wouldn't shut up

Overcome too much closeness

One nice thing about Wyoming is the open spaces and the chance for splendid isolation. For the next few days, the CDC recommends that old guys like me stay at least 6 feet away from others in order to protect myself from the COVID 19 virus. No problem. Leaving the house in Cody and going places where I can stay at least 6 feet from other people is simple. No problem at all. I hiked the trail on the left side of the photo. I met 2 deer but no people. The trail ends at the Shoshone River. I drove back to the house with out ever coming into contact with a person.

  

The objects in this scene doesn't particularly give a clue that it's April of 2020, but we're in the cab of 1948 built Clinchfield F3A 800 and social distancing in Blair, Tennessee at the Norfolk Southern interchange. As we're paused on 800, WRRX high hood GP30 2561 built in 1962 for Southern Railway shoves two loads in the clear.

- so der Titel des Werks der 1988 geborenen ukrainischen Künstlerin Julia Beliaeva.

 

Beliaeva floh mit dem Ausbruch des russischen Angriffskriegs nach Österreich. Im Zuge ihres Aufenthaltes dort entstand in der Gmundner Keramik u.a. die Installation „Social Meditation II“.

Bereits 2016 gab es davon eine erste Version...

 

Kleine Porzellan-Figuren stellen Kinder dar, die zielen allerdings mit Waffen aufeinander … Ihre Arbeiten sind oft von einer Art Dichotomie (Zweigeteiltheit) geprägt.

Ich möchte die Künstlerin hierzu selbst zu Wort kommen lassen:

 

"Es gibt eine berühmte sowjetische Figur, die einen Jungen mit einem Schmetterling darstellt. Wenn man sie betrachtet, erkennt man die inhärente Konfrontation zwischen dieser Art von naivem, niedlichem Porzellan und der Gewalt, Aggression und Unterdrückung, die vom Sowjetregime vertuscht wurde. Deshalb habe ich beschlossen, zwei gegensätzliche Welten zu verschmelzen. Künstlern in der Sowjetunion war es nur erlaubt, glückliche Kindheiten darzustellen. Das Gegenteil zu tun, hätte eine Bestrafung nach sich gezogen. Es gab einen Konflikt zwischen propagandistischer Kunst und der Wahrheit. In meiner Arbeit versuche ich also, das alte Medium zu verwenden, aber mit der erlangten Freiheit.

 

Als ich an „Social Meditation“ arbeitete, war ich von Kubricks „Dr. Seltsam oder: Wie ich lernte, die Bombe zu lieben“, fasziniert - insbesondere der berühmte Szene, in der die Politiker im Kreis sitzen und über die Bombe sprechen, die bereits auf dem Weg zum Ziel ist.

Es erinnerte mich an die Pioniere (sowjetische Pfadfinder) am Lagerfeuer.

In meiner Vorstellung stellen diese Porzellanjungen die Staatsoberhäupter dar. Sie alle haben Waffen gegeneinander gerichtet. Auf diese Weise versuchen sie, eine Lösung zu finden."

 

Social Mediation war eins der Ausstellungsstücke in der König Galerie, deren Ansichten ich derzeit bearbeite und von denen ich zwei schon zeigte...

The patio furniture is out again and the boys enjoy the sun on the veranda - with their usual distance, of course...

Cats do not risk COVI-19, but we do, so take care, you all.

Candid street photography from Glasgow, Scotland. In a world where we connect with people more than ever we are often completely alone when we do so. Technology can be such a paradox. Enjoy!

The coppersmith barbet (Psilopogon haemacephalus), also called crimson-breasted barbet and coppersmith, is an Asian barbet with crimson forehead and throat, known for its metronomic call that sounds similar to a coppersmith striking metal with a hammer. It is a resident bird in the Indian subcontinent and parts of Southeast Asia. It carves out holes inside a tree to build its nest. It is predominantly frugivorous, but has been observed eating insects, especially winged termites.

Location: Rue des Fabriques 40, Brussels, Belgium

I saw this social flycatcher perched from a distance and was praying it wouldn't fly before I got a decent picture of it sitting in this beautiful setting!

Sometimes up and over is the shortest distance between two points.
