Mural, called 'THe Traveller" made by 'A squid called Sebastian', for the first edition of the "Sorry, not Sorry festival" in 2016.
Here you see another mural made by him.
Happy Wall Wednesday!!
~~'A squid called Sebastian' spent his first years in the US when the graffiti-movement was in full swing on the American east coast.
As a child he was fascinated by both Belgian and American comics.
He obtained a master's degree in comic strip drawing at Sint Lucas Gent and has since then focused on painting in large format. His style is still characterised by a recognizable influence from the world of comics and masters of figurative art. He uses colors and compositions to create a certain dynamism and excitement in his work.
Location: Sleepstraat 81 , 9000 Gent~~

heartfelt thanks for taking time to comment - always highly appreciated. wishing you all a happy weekend, dear flickrfriends ☀️
These bridge sculptures were part of the display during the Commonwealth Games some years ago (then floating on the Yarra River). The Sandridge Bridge is much older and well used as a footbridge. The bridge is on the Historic Register. The Couple represent Refugees according to this fact sheet - www.melbourne.vic.gov.au/SiteCollectionDocuments/travelle...
Plus information on the bridge - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sandridge_Bridge
the sculpture "The Traveller" was created by the Dutch artist Bob Bunck and some friends and donated to the municipality of Palaiochora. It symbolizes the friendship between Palaiochora and all the travelers who have been visiting for years

Il castello Alfonsino (o Aragonese) fu costruito nel 1481 da Alfonso d'Aragona, e divenne per i nemici "il castello rosso", dal colore purpureo che assumeva al tramonto per la pietra con cui era costruito.

#4383 - 2019 Day 365: Twelve months to the day since their last rendezvous, the travellers found themselves on a bleak hill. It was the end of a troubled decade. One threw his head back in despair, tired of the madness. They had tried not to gaze into the abyss but it was as inevitable as it was now shallow, its depths rising in a clouded mass of lies and burning earth. “We are who we are and so are our friends with us,” implored the other. “The way ahead is still open. We cannot stop here; we can retreat or we can stand. Our journey is more difficult now but we must continue. We must rise above the divide and fight with our compassionate hearts to build the bridges.”

#4749 - 2020 Day 366: After their previous year-end meetings in 2019 and 2018, the travellers found themselves at the port. What prospect a boat out of England? Despite their resolutions not to be drawn downwards, the abyss had nonetheless opened up in front of their feet. The one reassured the other once more: "there is a light, and when the light is shining fully there must be no going back to old ways of wasteful, indulgent and destructive living."
So another year of Project Infinity is done. May that light come soon and be with everyone. Wishing for a new year of renewed hope and health and new growth.
Cape Elizabeth, Maine.
Last week-end I had a brief trip to my home town in Maine. I grew up right across the road (literally) from this famous lighthouse. Many a foggy night I was kept awake for long hours by the blare of the horn, every fifteen seconds.
Despite its tormenting of my sleep, I have often photographed Portland Head Light over the years, but seldom in winter, and seldom in light as nice as last week-end.
Torres del Paine National Park is a Chilean National Park comprising mountains, glaciers, lakes and rivers. The Cordillera del Paine is the centerpiece of the park. It lies in a transition area between the Magellanic subpolar forests and the Patagonian Steppes. The park is located 112 km north of Puerto Natales and 312 km north of Punta Arenas. Bernardo O'Higgins National Park is its neighbour to the west, while Los Glaciares National Park is located to the north in Argentine territory.

Se ubican a 90 kilómetros de San Pedro. Miscanti y Miñique ubicadas a más de 4.000 metros sobre el nivel del mar, ambas son alimentadas por fuentes de agua que vienen desde la superficie de la tierra, atraen un gran conjunto de animales, como la abundancia de flamencos, un severo contraste rodeado de cuestas nevadas y brillantemente reflejadas en sus aguas. El viaje desde San Pedro pasa por Toconao y bordea el Salar de Atacama.
Estas lagunas altiplánicas son uno de los 7 sectores que conforman la Reserva Nacional Los Flamencos. Se ubican a 18 kilómetros al sur de Socaire. El paisaje se caracteriza por los volcanes y relieve montañoso, destacándose los cerros Miscanti y Miñiques. En las lagunas habitan especies como: tagua cornuda, flamenco chileno, parina chica, caitó, playero de baird, chorlo de la puna, pato juarjual y la guallata. La flora esta compuesta principalmente por la llareta y la paja brava. En los sectores aledaños existen sitios arqueológicos.

A wonderful view of "Grey Glacier", from the "Serrano River", at Patagonia, Chile.
Grey Glacier is a glacier in the Southern Patagonian Ice Field, just west of the Cordillera del Paine. It flows southward into the lake of the same name.
The Glacier is in the south end of the Southern Patagonia Ice Field. Indeed, you can see the surface of it when you do the big circuit of Paine Mountain Range at John Garner Pass. There is a great view of the glacier from the south shore of the Lake where you can see the glacier in the background and thousands of floating ices to the shore. (Depending on the season.) It is located to the west side of the Torres del Paine National Park. There is a very nice Hostería in the shore of Lago Grey and paths to walk and see beautiful landscapes.
Only a small portion of the pond was not frozen, but these ducks didn't mind that at all.
It would have been back in the late 50s (see how old I am) when I had a Travellers LP. One of the songs went something like this.
"Oh, what have you got for dinner, Mrs. Bond?"
"There's beef in the larder, and ducks in the pond;"
"Dilly, dilly, dilly, dilly, come to be killed,
For you must be stuffed, and my customers filled!"
Of course, there were more verses but you get the idea. Apparently, it is/was a nursery rhyme, but I only heard it as a song from this folk band.
From The Canadian Encyclopedia
"Active from 1953 to the 2000s, folk music group The Travellers were icons of Canada’s folk music revival. The first folk group signed by Columbia Records of Canada, The Travellers were best known for the patriotic enthusiasm of their Canadian lyrics for Woody Guthrie’s “This Land Is Your Land.” The group influenced many in the folk music movement of the 1960s and 1970s and helped spread the messages of left-leaning social movements such as the labour rights movement. They made many popular recordings and often appeared on television and in concert, across Canada and internationally."
This is a video (actually a static photo with the soundtrack) of them doing Lonesome Traveller. Believe it or not, I think these are younger band members that what I remember.

#5114 - 2021 Day 365: So the journey continues. This year the travellers are closer, reflecting with each other, looking outwards, still wondering. They are together on the same road, not the one others tread but one less frequented. The way ahead is still vague not clear, but in purpose they are at the end of this year united.
This is a reconstruction of my end of year image in 2008, my first year of this 365 thing, the year when I noticed that if I didn't make an image tomorrow (1st Jan 2009) then it would be gone forever. So it continues towards Infinity. Who knows where that is ... Happy New Year all.
The sculpture behind the Yukon Beringia Interpretive Centre received some conservation cleaning this past summer, and is now looking especially protected, encased as it is in a thick coating of winter snow.
This photo was taken well before dawn on January 15th, 2022. I combined three exposures in post to eek out as much detail and dynamic range as possible in the very dim conditions. The original photos were taken in raw with the Canon EOS R and RF 24-105mm f/4.0 L mounted to a tripod. All post processing was performed in Adobe Lightroom Classic 11.
Dedicated to Ilca, great photographer and inspiration.
The Amazon River or River Amazon (Portuguese: Rio Amazonas; Spanish: Río Amazonas) of South America is the largest river in the world by volume, with greater total river flow than the next eight largest rivers combined, and with the largest drainage basin in the world. Because of its vast dimensions it is sometimes called The River Sea (o rio-mar in Portuguese), and at no point is it crossed by bridges.[1] Debate as to whether the Amazon or the Nile is the world's longest river has gone on for many years, with the consensus during the 20th century being that, by possibly only a few kilometers, the Nile is the longer of the two.
The area covered by the water of the River and its tributaries more than triples over the course of a year. In an average dry season 110,000 square kilometres (42,000 sq mi) of land are water-covered, while in the wet season the flooded area of the Amazon Basin rises to 350,000 square kilometres (135,000 sq mi).[citation needed] At its widest point the Amazon River can be 11 kilometres (7 mi) wide during the dry season, but during the rainy season when the Amazon floods the surrounding plains it can be up to 45 kilometres (28 mi) wide.
The quantity of fresh water released by the Amazon to the Atlantic Ocean is enormous: up to 300,000 m³ per second in the rainy season. The Amazon is responsible for a fifth of the total volume of fresh water entering the oceans worldwide. Offshore of the mouth of the Amazon, potable water can be drawn from the ocean while still out of sight of the coastline, and the salinity of the ocean is notably lower a hundred miles out to sea. In 1500, Vicente Yañez Pinzón was the first European to sail into the river. Pinzón called the river flow "río Santa María de la Mar Dulce", finally the name was shortened to "Mar Dulce" (sweet sea).
