Dear friends, thank you all for your views, comments and faves!
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.
Symbolism of the Zinnia Flower
The zinnia is one tough flower so the symbolism has evolved to mean endurance in all of it’s many forms. This includes spontaneous endurance: from youth to old age the zinnia endures and continues to bloom. It is also believed to mean joyous endurance, happy to bloom in the broiling heat of summer. The zinnia also endures through any trials and tribulations (unforgiving heat, drought, bugs) and continues to put forth beautiful flowers in many shades of red, orange, apricot, yellow, white, lilac and even lime green.
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??
Messeparkhaus in Köln
Organische Struktur
Die homogen gestaltete Fassade wirkt nicht nur leicht und transparent, sondern umgibt den geschwungenen Baukörper mit einer poetisch-organischen Hülle, die ihm Plastizität verleiht. Dabei erscheint sie nicht ornamental. Sie ist viel mehr als große organische Struktur entworfen, die den Anschein erweckt, als würde sie atmen. Es ging darum, eine „Haut“ als Fassade zu entwickeln, die licht- und luftdurchlässig ist. Die Schuppung steht für das Organ Haut. Assoziationen zur Natur, wie beispielsweise zu Libellenflügeln, sind erwünscht. Das Oberflächenrelief infolge der Auffächerung der Flügel bzw. Schuppen wirkt plastisch und atmungsaktiv. Die Fassadenhaut eignet sich besonders für geschwungene Grundrisskonturen. Ihre poetische Ausstrahlung enthebt das Parkhaus einem reinen Zweckbauniveau.
Konstruktive Umsetzung
Im Zuge der Formfindung musste ein Element gefunden werden, das einerseits konstruktiv und architektonisch die Rundungen der Fassade nachzeichnet, andererseits auch das Erscheinungsbild nach außen unterstreicht. Hierfür wurde eine Konstruktion gewählt, die auf dem Thema von Fischschuppen basiert. Für die Übersetzung dieses Prinzips wurden rund 3.000 lasergeschnittene Paneele mit Randverstärkung aus Lochblech gefertigt, welche über Schraubbolzen mit der darunterliegenden Pfosten-Riegel-Konstruktion aus Metall verbunden wurden. Die kiemenartigen Öffnungen sowie der Lochanteil der Bleche selbst gewährleisten dabei die notwendige, natürliche Durchströmung des Parkhauses mit Luft und zugleich die natürliche Belichtung des Innern. Durch die Überlappung der Bleche entstanden interessante geometrische Muster, die bei Dunkelheit eine sinnliche, zeichenhafte Symbolik entwickeln. Das Befestigungssystem erlaubt eine flexible Montage und Wartung der Paneele. Durch den Einsatz von Gewindestangen war die Montage aus verschiedenen Richtungen möglich. Unterschiedliche Winkel bei identischen Elementen konnten ausgeglichen werden.
organic structure
The homogeneously designed facade not only appears light and transparent, but also surrounds the curved building with a poetic-organic shell that gives it plasticity. It does not appear ornamental. It is designed much more as a large organic structure that appears to breathe. The aim was to develop a "skin" as a facade that is permeable to light and air. The scaling represents the skin organ. Associations with nature, such as dragonfly wings, are encouraged. The surface relief due to the fanning out of the wings or scales has a plastic and breathable effect. The facade skin is particularly suitable for curved floor plan contours. Its poetic charisma lifts the multi-storey car park from a purely functional level.
Constructive implementation
In the course of finding the form, an element had to be found that, on the one hand, structurally and architecturally traces the curves of the facade, and on the other hand underlines the outward appearance. A construction based on the theme of fish scales was chosen for this purpose. For the translation of this principle, around 3,000 laser-cut panels with edge reinforcement were made of perforated sheet metal, which were connected to the underlying metal mullion-transom construction with screw bolts. The gill-like openings and the perforated portion of the sheets themselves ensure the necessary, natural flow of air through the car park and at the same time the natural lighting of the interior. The overlapping of the metal sheets resulted in interesting geometric patterns that develop a sensuous, emblematic symbolism in the dark. The fastening system allows flexible assembly and maintenance of the panels. The use of threaded rods made assembly from different directions possible. Different angles in identical elements could be compensated.
HAPPY Thusday.... Stay safe and healthy.
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.

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.
Que nous réservera la nouvelle année ? La sculpture de Nicolas Lavarenne qui y voit "la symbolique du pas vers l’inconnu, susceptible de bouleverser toute une vie" correspond parfaitement à cet état d'esprit, particulièrement en ces temps troublés.
Un cadrage différent de la précédente photo de cette statue qui montre d'avantage ce pas vers l'inconnu.
---------------------------------------------------------- Challenge # 2
What will the new year have in store for us? The sculpture by Nicolas Lavarenne, who sees it as "the symbolism of a step towards the unknown, one likely to disrupt an entire life" corresponds perfectly to this state of mind, particularly in these troubled times.
A different framing which shows more of this step towards the unknown.

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."

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.

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.

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.
