ODC-Subtle

 

Spiders like this one are master's of subtlety. They lay in wait so quietly that another insect would not be aware it was even there.

For all the gratitude we owe the dualist mind for the beauty and creativity of reasoning, investigating, distinguishing, for scientific inquiry that prods the wondrous subtleties of the world and all manner of contribution to life, art, and culture, this dualist (thinking) mind does not have the final word on what counts as real or normal. With the blossoming of the eye of the heart, the unitive gaze of awareness itself, not something we are aware of but the aware-ing itself, life and love present themselves in a profoundly simple manner. It is never a case of blurring the intellectual distinction of Creator and creation (who would want to?), but rather one of unfathomable insight into their inseparable bond (even these words fail).

-An Ocean of Light Contemplation, Transformation, and Liberation, Martin Laird, O.S.A.

The Humble Administrator's Garden (Chinese: 拙政园; pinyin: Zhuōzhèng yuán; Suzhou Wu: Wu Chinese: [tsoʔ tsen ɦyø]) is a Chinese garden in Suzhou, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of the most famous of the gardens of Suzhou. The garden is located at 178 Northeast Street (东北街178号), Gusu District.

The Classical Gardens of Suzhou (Chinese: 苏州园林; pinyin: Sūzhōu yuánlín; Suzhounese (Wugniu): sou-tseuyoe-lin) are a group of gardens in the city of Suzhou, in Jiangsu, China, which have been added to the UNESCO World Heritage List.

Spanning a period of almost one thousand years, from the Northern Song to the late Qing dynasties (11th-19th century), these gardens, most of them built by scholars, standardized many of the key features of classical Chinese garden design with constructed landscapes mimicking natural scenery of rocks, hills and rivers with strategically located pavilions and pagodas.

The elegant aesthetics and subtlety of these scholars' gardens and their delicate style and features are often imitated by various gardens in other parts of China, including the various Imperial Gardens, such as those in the Chengde Mountain Resort. According to UNESCO, the gardens of Suzhou "represent the development of Chinese landscape garden design over more than two thousand years," and they are the "most refined form" of garden art.

These landscape gardens flourished in the mid-Ming to early-Qing dynasties, resulting in as much as 200 private gardens. Today, there are 69 preserved gardens in Suzhou, and all of them are designated as protected "National Heritage Sites." In 1997 and 2000, eight of the finest gardens in Suzhou along with one in the nearby ancient town of Tongli were selected by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site to represent the art of Suzhou-style classical gardens.

Famous Suzhou garden designers include Zhang Liang, Ji Cheng, Ge Yuliang, and Chen Congzhou.

SKIN LIKE SYNTAX by Catherine Nikolaidis, the September 2025 exhibition @ Nitroglobus Main hall

 

I have always admired Catherine’s striking images, her exquisite avatar, and her refined artistic taste. That’s why I’m sincerely proud and delighted to present her latest exhibition, ‘Skin like Syntax’, in the main hall of Nitroglobus.

 

Working in monochrome—her signature palette—Catherine masterfully captures the elegance and sensuality of the female form in Second Life. This exhibition is a celebration of subtlety, sophistication, and visual poetry. I’m confident you’ll be moved by her stunning black-and-white work, which is both classy and evocative.

 

PLEASE NOTE: Some images contain tasteful nudity (e.g., partial or full exposure of breasts). Viewer discretion is advised.

Special thanks to David Silence for designing the beautiful poster, inspired by one of Catherine’s featured works.

Description of he exhibition by the artist:

“Skin like Syntax” explores woman and her body as a living language. In monochrome tones, I capture shifting moods and the balance between softness and strength, intimacy and distance.

 

Through my lens, real life turns into visual poetry, where light, shadow, and emotion blend together.

Personally, in matters where dogmatic beliefs differ, I think that controversy is of little value because it takes us away from the spiritual realities into the realm of words and ideas. In the realm of realities we may have a great deal in common, whereas in words there are apt to be infinite complexities and subtleties which are beyond resolution. It is, however, important, I think, to try to understand the beliefs of other religions. But much more important is the sharing of the experience of divine light, and first of all of the light that God gives us even as the Creator and Ruler of the Universe. (6.2.63 HGL 54)

-The Hidden Ground of Love: The Letters of Thomas Merton on Religious Experience and Social Concerns

One of the sadnesses of the lockdown measures during the COVID-19 pandemic is that there is so little movement from place to place. Having spent the last year in Woodstock, Oxfordshire, I anticipated seeing very much more of the area. Instead, I have remained largely in one place, my contribution to not spreading the virus; that, and a heavy workload have meant that I have seen less of the world than I intended this year.

 

The silver lining to that cloud is that one sees so very many shades of one place. One sees things anew, even as they seem to pall. It reminds me of a photographer I read of once, I forget the name, who had spent much of his life photographing a nearby beach in numerous seasons, finding subtleties that others might miss. There is a venerability and wisdom in it which is appealing in a world that normally moves far too much.

 

Here is a bridge, seen most days for the last nine months, half shrouded in mist one recent morning. I am not sure that I matched the medium and the subject. Rollei Superpan 200 is, I discovered belatedly, effectively an aerial photography film; developed in stock ID-11 (around 9'30, with frequent agitation, as I could find no precise information on this pairing), the film is one of very strong contrasts and precise detail. My initial excitement at such stark negatives wavered when I realised how many images had been rather marred by camera shake - a combination of shorter days, a slower film speed, the near-weightlessness of the Zeiss Ikon Nettar, and a deep press of the shutter button had conspired to defeat me.

 

This one, however, was salvageable. Originally 6x6, the unbroken grey of the sky and the less than interesting grass have been cropped out to give a greater prominence to the lake, bridge, and reflections.

If you like my photographs, why not consider buying a print at captures.life? I haven't yet finished building the site and putting in all of the terms and conditions and policies, but the bits that involve buying a print, having it delivered, and contacting me if anything isn't working or goes wrong are functioning just fine...

For inquiring minds that want to know:

 

I've seen this technique before and wondered how it was created, what software was used. A little research brought me to the linked site (among other sites) and I read the tutorial. I was surprised to find out that it was made with a very creative use of Photoshop. After reading the tutorial a couple of times I realized this was right up there with solving the Rubik's Cube by buying (OK now it's free on the internet) a copy of "How to Solve the Rubik's Cube." Well, I'm always up for a good challenge and so I was hooked!!!!! As it turned out, it was the most complicated thing I've done with PS but somehow rewarding going through the process and the final image got a "cool". I also realized how little I really know about the subtleties and power of PS. Not being able to leave well enough alone, I rotated the image to the diagonal and gave it a little wavy filter. (how could I resist) :)

 

With a little help from the below tutorial:

The first comment has the rest of the story.

I was so intrigued at the way they subtlety, slowly and cunningly gravitated towards me. It reminded me of a long drawn out slow dance.

  

I've come to a better understanding of wind over the past few months. Think it began last autumn as I observed fallen leaves being lifted off the ground in whirling eddys like mini tornadoes. Amidst this were leaves being pushed along like overland rivers. Fast moving but in relatively narrow corridors. I could see them all around me at times but not feel any wind on my face. I used to think of wind as a sort of monolith...a generic force that pushed equally on all things in its path. But I realize now there is much more subtlety to it. Even in the face of extreme wind storms (and we've experienced many over the recent months), there is much variation. I began to notice the heaviest winds seems to be well overhead, perhaps 100 feet or more off the ground. These are the winds that create the incessant roar as they pass through tall trees and over ridge lines. But at ground level, the winds tend to wax and wane. The higher winds sometimes pushing down to the ground, then spreading out. This is what causes the selective movement I noticed in autumn leaves and later in driven snow and blizzards. That effect was on full display on the day I captured this scene. I was focused on the long shadows, taken with the way they followed the contours of the snow, especially the valleys that formed around the gravestones. Suddenly the wind kicked up some already fallen snow and began to recirculate it. The air was filled with this fine diamond-like dust that conveyed much energy and motion, but left the foreground in sharp focus. Light, shadow, texture, movement, clarity, mistiness, contrast, all in a single frame. Plus the undeniable visual metaphor of winter in a cemetery, death upon death.

Les batteurs dans les groupes musicaux jouent un rôle fondamental et souvent sous-estimé !

 

Ce sont eux qui tiennent le tempo, la pulsation rythmique qui structure toute la musique.

 

Sans un bon batteur, le groupe pourrait vite perdre son énergie et sa cohérence. Le batteur est aussi celui qui apporte une dynamique essentielle, capable de faire monter la tension ou de calmer le jeu selon les besoins des morceaux.

 

Leur technique, leur précision et leur sens du groove influencent directement la qualité et le caractère du son du groupe.

 

En somme, les batteurs sont les piliers rythmiques indispensables, apportant à la fois puissance et nuances, qui permettent aux autres musiciens de s’exprimer pleinement !

 

°°°°°°°

 

Drummers in musical bands play a fundamental and often underestimated role.

 

They keep the tempo, the rhythmic pulse that structures the entire music.

 

Without a good drummer, the band can quickly lose its energy and coherence. The drummer is also the one who brings essential dynamics, capable of building tension or calming things down according to the needs of the songs.

 

Their technique, precision, and sense of groove directly influence the quality and character of the band’s sound.

 

In short, drummers are the indispensable rhythmic pillars, bringing both power and subtlety, allowing other musicians to fully express themselves.

The Humble Administrator's Garden (Chinese: 拙政园; pinyin: Zhuōzhèng yuán; Suzhou Wu: Wu Chinese: [tsoʔ tsen ɦyø]) is a Chinese garden in Suzhou, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of the most famous of the gardens of Suzhou. The garden is located at 178 Northeast Street (东北街178号), Gusu District. At 78 mu (亩) (5.2 ha; 13 acres), it is the largest garden in Suzhou and is considered by some to be the finest garden in all of southern China.

The Classical Gardens of Suzhou (Chinese: 苏州园林; pinyin: Sūzhōu yuánlín; Suzhounese (Wugniu): sou-tseuyoe-lin) are a group of gardens in the city of Suzhou, in Jiangsu, China, which have been added to the UNESCO World Heritage List.

Spanning a period of almost one thousand years, from the Northern Song to the late Qing dynasties (11th-19th century), these gardens, most of them built by scholars, standardized many of the key features of classical Chinese garden design with constructed landscapes mimicking natural scenery of rocks, hills and rivers with strategically located pavilions and pagodas.

The elegant aesthetics and subtlety of these scholars' gardens and their delicate style and features are often imitated by various gardens in other parts of China, including the various Imperial Gardens, such as those in the Chengde Mountain Resort. According to UNESCO, the gardens of Suzhou "represent the development of Chinese landscape garden design over more than two thousand years," and they are the "most refined form" of garden art.

These landscape gardens flourished in the mid-Ming to early-Qing dynasties, resulting in as much as 200 private gardens. Today, there are 69 preserved gardens in Suzhou, and all of them are designated as protected "National Heritage Sites." In 1997 and 2000, eight of the finest gardens in Suzhou along with one in the nearby ancient town of Tongli were selected by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site to represent the art of Suzhou-style classical gardens.

Famous Suzhou garden designers include Zhang Liang, Ji Cheng, Ge Yuliang, and Chen Congzhou.

The stories of the Everglades are as vast and as flowing as the River of Grass itself; limitless. But, sometimes, the best stories are found on a narrow road to a familiar place, sunset streaming through your favorite pahayokee cypress domes, and an encounter with one of the majestic creatures that calls this place home. The details of this sublime place are really in what makes its stories shine, like sunstars in the stained glass background of cypress trees. My Thanksgiving visit to Everglades National Park was typical in how the story unfolded but the adventure and the majesty of the place is in appreciating its subtleties and its grandeur, all at the same time. The Everglades is the most atypical of all of our National Parks; when you are here, you aren’t here for mountains and canyons and big trees and unending landscapes of stone, but you are here for the interplay of water, grass, the sun, the sky, and the creatures that live here. That’s the story of this vista: a brief moment in time as the sun sparks behind a cypress branch and a barred owl, who decided to land here and spend some time here, making for a gorgeous coincidence. This is a story of happenstance and a symphony of nature, all at once. That is what the Everglades is.

Thanks for the comments, faves and visits

This image showcases a single pink Daylily, a striking embodiment of grace and subtlety. The bloom, presented in a soft pink hue, stands out with its delicate petals that are adorned with droplets of rain—a testament to the serene moments that follow a summer shower. The deep green blades of foliage surround the flower, their uniformity accentuating the Daylily's tender form. A muted purple eye zone at the base of the petals adds a touch of depth and mystery to the flower's center, drawing the eye to the vibrant yellow stamens that rise elegantly above. Budding companions and unfurling sepals frame the scene, hinting at the continuous cycle of growth and renewal within the garden. This image captures the essence of peaceful coexistence in nature, highlighting the simple purity and transient beauty of the Daylily in its natural habitat.

The serenity of this beautifully subtle sunrise caught for a moment between the vivid pre dawn colours and the overwelming light of the Sun as it appears over the horizon. A cold but worthwhile visit to Chemical Beach. 2 minutes with the Lee Little Stopper.

En el Altiplano de la región de Arica, al norte de Chile, las nevazones no son comunes, por lo que cuando el pronostico del tiempo las anuncia, es una aventura que no se puede perder. Ese día salimos desde la ciudad de Arica a las 3:30 AM, luego de más de 3 horas de conducción llegamos hasta donde el camino nos permitió, pese a ir en un buen vehículo 4x4, quedamos entrampados en una subida con mucha nieve. Ese lugar tradicionalmente no es muy atractivo para fotografía de paisaje, sin embargo al explorarlo bajo estas condiciones era todo muy distinto, maravilloso y sorprendente.

Con las primeras luces del alba reconocimos algunas formaciones que me permitieron trabajar una composicion, llegando finalmente a esta panorámica (varias tomas verticales) que me permitió transmitir la inmensidad del paisaje junto con la sutileza que le da la nieve.

 

In the Altiplano of the Arica region, in the north of Chile, snowfalls are not common, so when the weather forecast announces them, it is an adventure not to be missed. That day we left the city of Arica at 3:30 AM, after more than 3 hours of driving we got as far as the road allowed us, despite going in a good 4x4 vehicle, we got stuck in a climb with a lot of snow. That place is not traditionally very attractive for landscape photography, however when exploring it under these conditions everything was very different, wonderful and surprising.

With the first light of dawn we recognized some formations that allowed me to work on a composition, finally arriving at this panorama (several vertical shots) that allowed me to convey the immensity of the landscape together with the subtlety that the snow gives it.

...the fleeing last minutes of a pastel sunset caressed in finesse by delicate tree branches at Shakerag Lake, ~tonight, 11/28/2025...The more you zoom, the more subtlety you will perceive...

According to UNESCO, the gardens of Suzhou "represent the development of Chinese landscape garden design over more than two thousand years," and they are the "most refined form" of garden art.

These landscape gardens flourished in the mid-Ming to early-Qing dynasties, resulting in as much as 200 private gardens. Today, there are 69 preserved gardens in Suzhou, and all of them are designated as protected "National Heritage Sites." In 1997 and 2000, eight of the finest gardens in Suzhou along with one in the nearby ancient town of Tongli were selected by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site to represent the art of Suzhou-style classical gardens.

Famous Suzhou garden designers include Zhang Liang, Ji Cheng, Ge Yuliang, and Chen Congzhou.

The continuing saga of macro ICMs…

 

This is a (yet another) pink paeony flower taken in my garden earlier in the year. There’s quite a lot of variation in the colours - magenta, pink, red and blue - so I wondered what it would look like in black and white processed using a colour filter.

 

I tried several images and some didn’t really work, but I found this one interesting. It turns out that in Silver Efex you can do quite a lot with this sort of image - many different interpretations of an abstract theme.

 

The worst thing about this kind of abstract blurry image of nothing in particular is working out how to justify publishing it. In the end though I think I shall simply publish it without apology, just because I like it. I had fun playing with the subtleties in the light too…

 

For Donnerstagsmonocrom today.

 

Thanks even for looking. I hope you enjoy something in the image. Happy Monochrome Thursday and 100x :)

The subtlety of rain in the beauty of the flower !

 

Feliz quinta flower!

The wonderfully named Hoo Hoo Hut is a nice place to shelter if the rain gets too heavy. This hut can be found on the trail that runs from the old Duck Reach Power Station to the Trevallyn Dam.

 

I chose infrared here because I like the subtleties of light it gives. The effect in this light is not unlike that of the wet plate collodion method (without the trouble). www.artic.edu/artworks/154289/deep-south-untitled-three-d...

 

I should add that the two tone effect here is totally natural and no filters have been used in processing.

Street Art / Graffiti Spiegelung Fenster 7

Jörg Schubert / #schubertj73

 

Auf der Suche nach einem neuen Foto Motiv besuchte ich die Heinrichshütte in Hattingen. Mich faszinierte die spannende Spiegelung im Fenster.

Ich dachte, das wäre ein weiteres vielversprechendes Motiv für ein Street Art Bild.

 

Es entstand das Problem, die Spiegelung in allen Feinheiten darzustellen.

 

Erprobte mit verschiedenerlei Blickrichtungen, Passagen und Zwischenräume zu der Spiegelung im Fenster. Fotografierte dann in scharf Einstellung die Spiegelung im Fenster.

 

Dann der Konflikt der Darstellung der Fotografie. Spiegelung im Fenster ganz darstellten oder nur einen Teil.

Fotografie digital bearbeitet.

Im Prozess der digitalen Bearbeitung gesehen, dass ich auf einem positiven Weg bin.

Am Ende ein digital gemaltes Makro Crypto-Art Bild entstanden, mit dem ich zufrieden bin.

 

Mit dem Bild meinem Traum aufgenommen zu werden in die NFT Online Galerie Superrare ein Stück weiter gekommen.

Street Art / Graffiti Reflection Window 7

Jörg Schubert / #schubertj73

 

In search of a new photo motif, I visited the Heinrichshütte in Hattingen. I was fascinated by the exciting reflection in the window.

I thought this would be another promising subject for a street art picture.

 

The problem arose of depicting the reflection in all its subtleties.

 

Tested with different perspectives, passages and gaps to the reflection in the window. Then photographed the reflection in the window in sharp focus.

 

Then the conflict of the representation of the photograph. reflecting in the window as a whole or just a part.

Photograph digitally processed.

Seen in the process of digital editing that I’m on a positive path.

In the end, a digitally painted macro Crypto-Art picture was created, with which I am satisfied.

 

Got a step further with the picture of my dream to be included in the NFT Online Gallery Superrare.
