Transparency is the condition of being see-through. An example of transparency is the fact that you can see through glass. ... A transparent object, especially a photographic slide that is viewed by light shining through it from behind or by projection.
When you're transparent, you invite trust by revealing that you have nothing to hide. You establish yourself as an honest, credible person in the eyes of others. The prospect of being open and vulnerable may make you nervous, but the digital revolution has made transparency a matter of survival.

A box fresh male Four-spotted Chaser Dragonfly.
With this species in particular - when first emerged - it is very easy to see the amazing internal structure of the abdomen through the translucent outer wall.
These internal cells (which remind me of a honeycomb) must have something to do with contracting/expanding the abdomen to move air in and out of the spiracles along the edges for breathing.
Isn't nature amazing!

In this image, waterdrops magnify the feather's details... i.e., its barbs and barbules.
A typical vaned feather features a main shaft, called the rachis. Fused to the rachis are a series of branches, or barbs; the barbs themselves are also branched and form the barbules. These barbules have minute hooks called barbicels for cross-attachment. [...] Feathers insulate birds from water and cold temperatures.
Went to a summer house with my friends. Everybody was resting, as was I. The glass was beside me on a table, and I reached for my camera.
It's impossible not to love the nature in the autumn. Even when the colors didn't get colorful much. There's something special in the light and stillness of the water, especially in the evening. May be this is transparency of the air and water....

Die sonderbare Transparenz entsteht nur durch das Spiel mit Licht.
Phase shift.
The strange transparency is only created by playing with light.

L´étrange transparence n´est créée quén jouant avec la lumière.
While the prayer of words is an attempt to express to ourselves our dependence on the great mystery, the prayer of silence is not so much to express, but to experience, that dependence. We acknowledge and rejoice that we are the beloved, created out of nothing. I sit as content as a child on its mother’s lap.

Rafael Lopez de San Roman Blanco is a professional muralist based in the United States. He has been a studio artist since 2004 and has an extensive exhibition record both nationally and internationally. More recently, Blanco has been transforming his studio background in order to create large-scale public mural paintings in the United States. His medium of choice is a combination of exterior latex house paint and water mixable oils; and once completed, his murals are sealed with a UV and water sealer/protector to ensure their vibrant life for 20–30 years. He blends classic studio painting techniques like glazing with large-scale mural techniques. He also uses computer visual techniques like transparency layers in his mural work and plays with classical and contemporary styles. Blanco is also an Assistant Professor of Art at Elmhurst University and he resides in Aurora, Illinois, with his family.
