The symbolism of unity in the lily goes hand in hand with purity. The white variety of the Asiatic lily (lilium) is not called the Madonna lily for nothing; certainly in Christianity this is a reference to the virginity and purity of the Blessed Virgin Mary. You often see the flower in bridal bouquets and in religious expressions.

My neighbor's, and they do attract a lot of butterflies.
However, because of the special interest mosquitoes have on me, I could never think of sitting near them and waiting for that perfect butterfly moment. Just a few minutes out that evening, I was kissed multiple times.
Yes I could always apply repellent but nothing could completely stop their love for me!
On the storm front, Mr. Henri decided to take a further eastward path and gifting us with rains and mild wind.
All good here, and hope you are, too! :-)
I am not at all religious but I find rosaries so beautiful. I did try to shoot it in a respectful manner as I know this means a lot to a lot of people.
Just when i was getting tired of shooting orange larches against a flat blue sky a feather shaped cirrus cloud appeared in the sky above the Langkofel Group adding that little extra detail i needed so bad.
I knew about the meaning white feathers have in symbolism so i took it as a good sign and happily shot a bunch of pictures in panorama mode as the cloud quickly vanished to the east.
Last night, while processing this image, to my great surprise i found out that somebody had entered the field of view unnoticed and was innocently walking under the trees in front of me, he's visible in every frame... I admit this unwanted presence is a minor issue but what about that good sign??
Interested in acquiring my work?

The Easter Bunny is a folkloric figure and symbol of Easter, depicted as a rabbit bringing Easter eggs. Originating among German Lutherans, the "Easter Hare" originally played the role of a judge, evaluating whether children were good or disobedient in behavior at the start of the season of Eastertide.[1]
*****************************************************
Rabbits have been popular with many Japanese people, and their motif has been used on various items such as table wares, kimono, obi and general merchandise.
Rabbits only drive on forward and don’t step back, so they have been considered lucky as a symbol of advancement.
The subtle effect of shapes on the associative understanding of the world has always fascinated me. The objective observer detects a symmetric space in the middle of an organ is. What identifies our subconscious?
Aerial scenic view of Farsh Elias basin from above Moses Mountain 'Jebel Musa'. Showing the orchard and cypress trees of the mountain basin of Farsh Elias in the foreground.
At the edge of the basin is a relatively large church, known as the Church of Elijah. According to traditions, Moses and Elijah probably visited the same place where they had a vision.
The mountains of Sinai surrounding Saint Catherine are packed with many religious history and symbolism.

A perspective on the external carving of the Upper Hutt College Meeting House (Wharenui) Trentham, New Zealand. Te Reo Māori is the native language of New Zealand. It is spoken by the native Māori people and is used to express their culture, heritage and identity. Te Reo Māōri was the only language in New Zealand until the 19th century arrival of Europeans. Prior to this there was no written word therefore Māori communicated through symbolism. The detailing in carvings, knots and weavings were the way Māori recorded stories for future generations.
For Looking close on Friday!
Theme : Red on White Background ».
La symbolique de ces couleurs communément admise est que le rouge est la « couleur liturgique qui évoque le sang ou le feu » et « le blanc évoque la pureté, mais plus encore la gloire divine et l’éclat de tout ce qui touche à Dieu. C’est la couleur de la résurrection. »
The commonly accepted symbolism of these colors is that red is the "liturgical color that evokes blood or fire" and "white evokes purity, but even more so divine glory and the brilliance of everything that relates to God. It is the color of the resurrection."
Un grand merci pour vos favoris, commentaires et encouragements toujours très appréciés.
Many thanks for your much appreciated favorites and comments.
The Mother of God with a baby is an icon created in 1884-1885 by Mykhailo Vrubel for the decoration of the iconostasis of St. Cyril's Church in Kyiv. Despite the fact that the image is made in accordance with all the canons of Orthodox iconography, art critics and artists note its expressiveness and unusualness. The faces of the Mother of God and the infant Christ were copied by Vrubel from the wife and youngest daughter of the art critic Adrian Prakhov*.
* Adrian Viktorovych Prakhov - art critic, archaeologist and art critic, professor of the Kyiv Imperial University of St. Volodymyr, leader of a group of artists (Viktor Vasnetsov, Mykhailo Vrubel, Mykhailo Nesterov, Pavlo Svedomskyi and Vilhelm Kotarbinskyi) who painted the Volodymyr Cathedral in 1884–1881
Богоматір з немовлям - ікона, створена в 1884-1885 роках Михайлом Врубелем для оформлення іконостасу Кирилівської церкви в Києві. Незважаючи на те, що образ виконаний згідно з усіма канонами православної іконографії, мистецтвознавці та художники відзначають його виразність та незвичайність. Лики Богородиці та Христа-немовля були списані Врубелем з дружини та молодшої доньки мистецтвознавця Адріана Прахова*.
* Адріан Вікторович Прахов – мистецтвознавець, археолог та художній критик, професор Київського Імператорського університету Святого Володимира, керівник групи художників (Віктор Васнєцов, Михайло Врубель, Михайло Нестеров, Павло Свєдомський та Вільгельм Котарбінський), яка здійснювала розпис Володимирського собору у 1884–1884 роках. Саме Адріан Прахов запросив молодого Михайла Врубеля у Киів і доручив йому написати 4 ікони для іконостасу Кирилівськоі церкви.

Seems there is no hope for migrants and regugees to continue their journey north into Europe :((((((
Time for Europe to end the refugee shame!!
"People dying in their dozens – whether crammed into a truck or a ship, en route to seek safety or better lives – is a tragic indictment of European leaders’ failures to provide safe ways to reach Europe. That it is now happening on a daily basis is Europe’s collective shame."
~Gauri van Gulik~
In einem asiatischen Garten haben Brücken immer auch eine Symbolik. Beim Überschreiten einer Brücke quert man nicht nur ein Gewässer, sondern man schließt Vergangenes ab und beginnt etwas Neues. Das Foto stammt aus dem Lotosgarten in Rothenburg o.T.
In an Asian garden bridges are always symbolic. When crossing a bridge, one not only crosses a river, but also concludes the past and starts something new. The photo was taken in the Lotosgarten in Rothenburg o. T.
Niels Hansen Jacobsen's symbolist masterpiece - death as a stealthy and creeping figure.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Niels_Hansen_Jacobsen
da.wikipedia.org/wiki/Niels_Hansen_Jacobsen
Hansen Jacobsen provided the sculpture with the following poem:
"Death, soon it is invisible, hides in the dust of the road, but catches up and reappears when we least expect it, still creeping in our footsteps, impossible to escape."
Europe, The Netherlands, Mist, Gelderland, Nijmegen, Waal, Spoorbrug, Waalkade, Labyrinth (cut from B)
The Labyrinth was created in 1982, after the new Waalkade flood defence wall was realized. It's situated at the place where until 1881 the old Waalhaven was located. The design is commissioned by the municipality of Nijmegen and realized by Klaus van de Locht. It has a diameter of 24 m and consists of nine concentrically arranged water channels. The black stone at the right edge of the frame is the Labyrinth's centre. It’s a sculpted piece of basalt retrieved from the river Waal. Symbolism galore. The Labyrinth is skirted by a 350 m circular walkway of basalt stones.
This is # 1015 of Minimalism Explicit Graphism
No explanation needed. At least, I don't think so :-)
You guys can probably figure it out. I've the got the smartest contacts :-))
I mean that! And oh geez, I see the only spot I neglected to brush on Pete, today.
Alfred Kubin: Der Tod bei der Arbeit (um 1923)
Tusche, Aquarell auf Papier | India ink, watercolor on paper
From the exhibition ALFRED KUBIN. CONFESSIONS OF A TORTURED SOUL in the Leopold Museum in Vienna
"The art of the great draftsman, illustrator and author of the novel The Other Side, Alfred Kubin, appears more current today than ever before: for it was violence, wartime destruction, pandemics, natural disasters, the manipulation of the masses and other abysses of human existence that pervaded his highly narrational works. The oeuvre of this fantastical creator confronts us with pessimistic visions which – to quote Schopenhauer – delineate “the worst of all possible worlds”."
www.leopoldmuseum.org/en/exhibitions/127/alfred-kubin
Alfred Kubin (1877 - 1959) "was an Austrian printmaker, illustrator, and occasional writer. Kubin is considered an important representative of Symbolism and Expressionism." en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alfred_Kubin
One could talk about the different architecture styles between front and back. One could talk about all the details you see. The space between statues, some sort of hierarchy you see.

Koi are a legendary fish. Graceful, vibrant, and one of the most recognizable fish in the world, koi are well-loved and respected. Often associated with Japan, koi actually originated from Central Asia in China. They were introduced to Japan by Chinese invaders. The koi got their name around 500 B.C, but the fish itself has been around for much longer. Fossils of ancient koi date back 20 million years. Natural genetic mutation brought about the brilliant colors in koi known today, and in the early 1800s Japanese farmers began keeping them for aesthetics. Over the years, koi fish meaning and symbolism has become iconic around the world.
So symbolism in photography. We have seen it through the centuries with artists. It is interesting to see how people interpret the symbols artists put into their art.
This photo contains a few... I hope you enjoy the thought process behind it, and thank you to my dearest friend ~Christian~ for giving me the idea and then me putting my spin on it.

What doesn't kill you makes you stronger
Stand a little taller
Doesn't mean I'm lonely when I'm alone
What doesn't kill you makes a fighter
Footsteps even lighter
Doesn't mean I'm over 'cause you're gone
What doesn't kill you makes you stronger, stronger
Just me, myself and I
What doesn't kill you makes you stronger
Stand a little taller
Doesn't mean I'm lonely when I'm alone
