Faith is not my thing, at all, but I do admire the aesthetics of some symbols, like the framing of this cross next to the "Hermitage of Our Lady of Peace" (Ermida de Nossa Senhora da Paz).
A fé não é o meu forte, de todo, mas admiro a estética de alguns símbolos, como o enquadramento desta cruz junto à Ermida de Nossa Senhora da Paz.
Lately, I have been through a lot emotionally. I've felt love, and I've felt pain... This weekend I decided to get some more ink. But, I wanted these tattoos to truly have meaning for what I am going through in my life...
I got two tattoos, about 3" tall, on my left and right ribs. The symbol on the left [supposedly] stands for Love. The symbol on the right [supposedly] stands for Pain. I seem to feel these emotions a lot these days, unfortunately together in the same situations, over and over.
I got the Love symbol on my left ribs, close to the heart, because I feel that someday, Love will truly trump the pain I have felt in some recent relationships.
The Pain symbol is on my right side because, while the two seem to be interrelated at the moment, I would like to, at some point, separate the two.
Obviously, I'll always have pain in my life, but I'm hoping for it not to be directly related to love...
Because of some decisions I have made over the past couple of years, I decided to put these tattoos on my ribs. I have heard that this location is extremely tender and painful... I thought I may need a little physical punishment (no, I'm not a sadist) for some of my recent actions...
I handled both tattoos really well, I felt, and the artist, Jason Standridge was equally impressed with my tolerance for the situation.
The ironic thing is this... We did the Love piece first, then the Pain piece. Love went by without a hitch, just a little discomfort... Pain on the other hand... well, it was more pain that I had felt with the first piece. Either way, I was ready and willing to face whatever it took to get these two pieces put on my person...
Strange, I know... But, here are some B&W photos of my latest ink... These shots are just under 24 hours after they were finished... They're still a little scabby, although I didn't bleed very much during either of the tats...
Happy Monday!
Otaru Canal is considered the symbol of Otaru City, a historic mile-long canal that provides both a nostalgic look at the Otaru of yesteryear as well as a unique shopping and dining experience. Once the capital of Hokkaido in Japan's Meiji Period, Otaru was known as the "Sakhalin of Japan" for its busy maritime trade with Russia. The canal was created by a sea reclamation project started in 1914, and the store warehouses that you see were built during this period. They have been beautifully preserved and are an iconic and much photographed landmark in the city. Along the canal, you will find a gaslight-lined promenade brimming with fancy shops, boutiques and fine restaurants.

The Transcendental Metamorphosis of Symbols - The Cyclical Recreation Of The Mystic forms by Daniel Arrhakis (2022)
The transformation of mystical forms and symbolism in time and in human spiritual conception resumed in infinite temporal cycles.
With the music : Stormy Night In a cathedral choir / ASMR Ambience - 3 Hours
The recreation of Symbols and the mystical transcendence of Forms and Geometries in reincarnation cycles.
Although the spirit's reincarnation cannot in most cases remember its past life due to the space-time duality and the different dimensionality between spirit and matter, there are nevertheless lines and geometries, shapes and light that are familiar to us and these can be slightly recognized in the processes of reincarnation.
If we look at different cultures, there are symbols, geometric shapes that are recurrent and that are reflected in architecture, art, in the cult of the dead, or other cultural traditions and expressions.
The innate capacity for abstraction and recreation of these symbolic forms and recognitions, although present in most of us, is more developed in some people than in others and in part is due to past life experiences.
The incessant search for knowledge and study of the physical and spiritual world enriches us culturally, enlightens us about our surroundings and about ourselves.
We could think that it is useless because generations succeed each other and knowledge is lost if it is not recorded, but just as we evolve biologically over time, our spirit also evolves with learning, which influences our relationships with those around us and ultimately also in the various future lives and cycles of rebirth.
Although we don't remember because they are different physical and temporal dimensions, a life of seeking enlightenment and knowledge better prepares us for our own transformative and timeless journeys.
In Buddhism, the lotus flower is a spiritual symbol of purity, growth, and enlightenment. Its colorful open petals rise strong on long stalks through the muddy waters that inspired her seeds to bloom...

Revisando ayer las fotos que tomé en los dos días que visité Valparaíso para la serie anterior, me quedé observando ésta un rato. Me encanta el arte callejero cuando está bien hecho y en esta ocasión creo que así es. Sé que llegará la municipalidad o el dueño del muro, no pensará lo mismo y lo hará borrar. Así que esta es mi forma de dejar constancia de este buen arte antes de que desaparezca. Como la mayoría de las fotos de la serie, está tomada en el Cerro de los Artistas. Espero que os guste.
Last night checking photos I took those two days I visited Valparaiso to previous series, I kept watching this one for awhile. I love street art when it is well made and here I consider that it is so. I think that there council town or wall owner will come not thinking the same and will make it erase. So this is my way of leaving witness of this good art before it disappears. As major part of this photo series, it is taken in the Artists Hill. I hope you like it.
« La plupart des rêves sont ainsi : une composition de symboles en cristaux dont chacun contient un sens sacré. » Christian Charrière

you can just about make out the church spire.
The Clock Tower was built between 1403 and 1412, probably finished in 1405. It was built in the market place, then much larger and triangular in shape, its outline still clear in the street plan. The tower was built close to the Eleanor Cross. Twelve Eleanor crosses were constructed throughout eastern England under the orders of King Edward I between 1291 and 1294 in memory of his wife Eleanor of Castile. The site of each cross marks the nightly resting place of Eleanor's funeral procession.
The people of St Albans built the tower as a symbol of their resistance against the power of the abbot of St Albans. By deciding their own times in which to trade and ring curfew they could achieve independence from the dictates of the Abbey.
The Clock Tower contains two bells, one familiarly known as Gabriel and the Market bell. Gabriel is the larger and much older of the two and is so named as result of the inscription on the bell "Missi De Celis Habeo Nomen Gabrielis" ("I am Heaven sent, in Gabriel's name"). Although the date of its construction is unknown, John Harris of the British Archaeological Association believed that it was cast c.1335. Gabriels diameter is approximately 3 ft 10 in and it weighs roughly one ton. Gabriel would have been rung at approximately 4 am in the morning to mark the Angelus, and again at 8–9 pm at night for the curfew. In addition, the bells could also be run in the event of emergencies, this could be something as simple as a fire, or as historic as the First Battle of St Albans, seen as the first battle of the War of the Roses on 22 May, 1455.
St. John's, the Anglican chapel in Markyate, Hertfordshire. Eagle lecterns are common in Anglican churches. The eagle, since antiquity a symbol of power and elevation, was claimed early on for Christianity. Among other things, the eagle is a symbol for John (the apostle and, as tradition has it, the author of the gospel carrying his name). The outstretched wings of the eagle form the platform on which the Bible rests and, symbolically, is carried into all corners of the world. Animal symbolism can be found in any of the major religions.

My South-Africa, what to say more?
During the Gardenroute Roadtrip, me and my parents booked a game drive in a private game reserve which included a day drive, a sunset drive and a night drive. It was one of the most amazing experiences of my life, as you can see here some springbok's which is the national symbol of the country and from which one of them is lying on the floor in my bedroom...
Furthermore we say lions, hippo's and rhino's from which photos will follow.
This was a lucky yet awesome shot in my opinion.
I would like to thank Abduzeedo.com for a publication on their website which resulted in a strong increase in views and ofcourse some compliments! Thank you very much for the one who wrote that tutorial.

Symbole du Hameau, la Maison de la Reine se compose de deux fabriques reliées par une galerie, la maison du billard à gauche et la maison de la reine à droite. Ce secteur du hameau, situé au sud du pont de pierre qui enjambe la rivière, comporte les maisons destinées à l’agrément : le moulin (dont la roue n’est qu’un simple élément de décor), le boudoir, la maison de la Reine, le billard et le réchauffoir. Il s’agissait de constructions dissimulant des intérieurs soignés, parfois richement meublés, dans lesquels la reine pouvait recevoir la société qu’elle conviait à Trianon.
Marie-Antoinette aménagea les jardins de Trianon, domaine d’abord créé par Louis XIV et réservé à son usage personnel. L’aménagement se fit en deux phases distinctes. La première, à partir de 1777, correspond à la création du Jardin anglais. Dans un second temps, en 1783, elle demande à Richard Mique d’étendre le jardin vers le nord en y bâtissant un village autour d’un nouveau lac afin d’offrir aux enfants royaux les plaisirs de la ferme. Les travaux débutent à l’été 1783, avec la Tour de Marlborough, pour s’achever en 1786. Le style du hameau de la Reine n’est pas clairement identifiable, fait d'un mélange d’architectures rurales variées, mais dégage une indéniable unité. Les chaumières sont disposées autour de la rive orientale du grand lac, comme un véritable décor en arc de cercle dont le point de vue idéal se situe de l’autre côté de la pièce d’eau.
L’immense parc de Versailles offre sur 800 hectares, des jardins à la françaises, fontaines et boisés. C’est en 1668 que Louis XIV (1638-1715) ordonna le début de la construction du château de Versailles, le plus grand palais d’Europe qui logea jusqu’à 20 000 courtisans. Le Vau conçut les bâtiments, Le Brun le décor intérieur et Le Nôtre, les jardins.
Lieu de résidence privilégié de la monarchie française de Louis XIV à Louis XVI, le château de Versailles et son parc ont été classés au patrimoine mondial de l'UNESCO en 1979 (WHL-83bis).
“Some offer their wealth, their austerity, and their practice of yoga as sacrifice, while the ascetics with strict vows offer their study of scriptures and knowledge as sacrifice.”
(Bhagavad Gita)
This is a picture of Lal Baba who is a Saivite (follower of Shiva) sādhu.
He was born in the Indian state of Bihar but he stays most of the time in Varanasi (Benaras).
I didn’t see him since a few months, no one could tell me where he was whenever I was asking at the ghats so I was happy to see him again a few days ago as I was walking with my friend Rajesh along the Ganges.
People call him Lal Baba because he mostly wears garments in red shades, in Hindi “lal” means red.
His huge turban keeps a few meters of dreadlocks and gives him an impressive presence.
Sometimes people think that he can’t see much because of cataract but in fact his eyes have an amazing deep blue colour.
I told him that Benaras is not the same without him and he laughed.
This is a link to another picture with him shot a few years ago:

I might go and see him tomorrow as I told him that I’ll give him a few pictures this week.

The very idea of a bird is a symbol and a suggestion to the poet. A bird seems to be at the top of the scale, so vehement and intense his life. . . . The beautiful vagabonds, endowed with every grace, masters of all climes, and knowing no bounds -- how many human aspirations are realised in their free, holiday-lives -- and how many suggestions to the poet in their flight and song!
