Each of these, in its own way is like a visual haiku to me.
"Winter is that time of year, when so much has been taken away, that what is left is even more beautiful."
Garrison Keillor - Prairie Home Companion
My first piece of Visual Art - from Grindelwald in Switzerland. The scenery there was just amazing while I had to wait for my train to Interlaken. I had 15minutes to wait so it was clear to take some long exposure shots!

GRAFFITI
Entendida como una de las expresiones de arte urbano más populares y características de la actualidad, el graffiti no es más que un dibujo o una obra de arte pictórica realizadas en las pares y muros de la calle. Así, el graffiti no se mueve o muestra dentro de círculos intelectuales o privados de arte sino que se caracteriza por ser expuesto de manera pública para que todos lo vean y disfruten día a día. El graffiti es por lo general anónimo y puede tener diferentes objetivos en lo que respecta a la razón de su realización: mientras algunos son meramente artísticos, otros son formulaciones políticas, otros de protesta y muchos otros son simples mensajes sin mayores pretensiones.
La palabra graffiti proviene del italiano y se relaciona con la idea de grafito o de expresión gráfica. Justamente, uno de los elementos más característicos del graffiti es que se realiza siempre de manera gráfica y visual. Por lo general, el graffiti no sigue reglas artísticas más que la misma libertad de expresión del autor, y es por eso que mientras algunos son realmente complejos y verdaderas obras de arte, otros son simples frases escritas con cierta violencia en las paredes o puertas de negocios.
Se estima que los graffitis son siempre realizados por las generaciones más jóvenes que se encuentran opuestas al mundo conservador e institucionalizado de los adultos. En este sentido, en muchos países el graffiti es un delito ya que es considerado suciedad o daño de la propiedad privada. Sin embargo, en diversos lugares el graffiti ya está integrado al tejido urbano y es considerado una verdadera e importante forma de expresión cultural y popular.
Hoy en día, los graffitis se han revigorizado en muchas ciudades ya que se utilizan stencils de gran complejidad e infinitos diseños para establecer ideas o puntos de vista. Algunos de ellos son graciosos, otros cuentan con una importante ironía, pero todos lo hacen desde un lado artístico que debe tenerse en cuenta más allá del hecho en sí del graffiti.

It's too much, isn't it?
It blocks our breath.
(highly amazed by the Sonnar Lens. More great resolution pics to come. :) )
Communicating through images today is fast & easy — with your smart phone you can tell the world where you are, what you’re doing & what you’re eating with just a few button presses. But has that cost us something?
Does the sheer amount of mundane images we see make good photos matter less?

I had been 'playing' with this concept for a while in my head. I called it (instead of the Silence of the Lambs) the Silence of the Bird. When I had the final result, it came to me immediately: VISUAL SILENCE.
I don't often 'dive' into the digital 'magical' darkroom that photoshop can be, but for certain projects it is a great creative tool!
Here, in the case of visual silence, what is being absorbed is not sound but gaze.
If silence is the absence of noise, then this visual silence is defined as the gradual absence, the vanishing, of what surrounds it, where we burrow from the visible surface to the invisible core.
Our focus on the image involves a diminution of the optic field:
in this sense, visual silence is like a poem, its power arising from its sheer vulnerability.
The image cannot be penetrated even by the most powerful of gazes because it is already open, in full view... and yet the transparency of the image, one that does not attempt to hide anything, is still capable of mystery.
Visual silence arrests us because it is the interface between two realms of partial knowledge: between he who does not know he is being watched and those who do not know what they are watching.
Some images leave us speechless, we watch them in silent awe.
Ultimately the camera is merely an extension of the human eye, it only sees and cannot wholly know what it is seeing.
Each time I think... that's it, there's only so much you can do with flowers... and yet again and again, I'll see something new.
Being creative is not a choice... it is an urge in me.
May PEACE be with you and thanx for everything, M, (*_*)

Vigil for Jayson Negron, shot and killed by Bridgeport City Police, 1000 Park Avenue, Bridgeport, Connecticut, Wednesday, May 10, 2017.
Image is in visual colors, if human eye could be able to see colors in extremely low light, most emission nebulae appears in deep red color due to dominance of ionized hydrogen, H-alpha. Blue color is coming from the emission of ionized oxygen, O-III.

"A furious cosmic horse gets blinded by a divine blue light"
Sharpless 132 (Sh2-132) in Cepheus
Sharpless 132 is a very faint emission nebula, it locates at the border of Cepheus and Lacerta. Distance is about 10.000 lightyears. My photo covers about one square degree of the sky (63x63"). The blue color in the image is from the emission of an ionized Oxygen (O-III). "The divine blue light" at horses face seems to be an Oxygen jet of some kind, or it's just a tens of light years long oddly shaped area of glowing gas. The shape can be seen in H-alpha channel too.

Primer contacto visual con el MURO.
MURO DE BERLÍN
El mayor tramo que se conserva de los restos del Muro de Berlín mide 1,3 kilómetros y es conocido como East Side Gallery, la mayor galería de arte al aire libre del mundo.
A lo largo del muro, se pueden ver cientos de graffitis de artistas procedentes de todo el mundo, que trataron de documentar mediante sus obras el cambio producido tras la caída del Muro de Berlín. Mediante sus obras expresan una gran sensación de euforia y esperanza por un futuro libre y mejor.
A través de las pinturas, los artistas trataron de expresar sus protestas y mensajes como memoria de un momento histórico tan importante.
Entre lasmágenes más llamativas se pueden encontrar obras realmente buenas a lo largo del muro, pero resultan especialmente llamativas las pinturas del líder ruso Leonid Brezhnev besando a Erich Honecker, líder de la República Democrática Alemana, y la imagen de un Trabant (el coche utilizado en la Alemania oriental) atravesando el muro.
(Wikipedia)
En 1300 metros se recoge una impresionante colección de pintadas y murales obra de 118 artistas de 21 países.
La exposición fue organizada por el artista escocés Chris MacLean en 1990.

El Cuerpo. Nuestros cuerpos,
enredados dándole al movimiento,
danzantes, danzan en caricias y besos, enredados el uno contra el otro.
Mientras nuestras lenguas hablando, hablantes, hablan el mismo lenguaje.
Para después entre besos besarse, gozarse.
Mezclando nuestras salivas y entre besos ellas dos gozando, gozan.
El Cuerpo, el cuerpo se agita,
se convulsiona va adoptando la forma amorosa de la pasión acelerada hasta
que llega la sudoración corporal y la paz invade los cuerpos, al final del alma.

By doing the Visual Study from the beginning I felt that it was not going the way I wanted, not having control of the charcoal, It was hard for me to take on the shape and the spaces that I needed. I was struggling but managed to continue on the basic shape of the art work in front of me and little by little I have managed to give few details also creating waves of patterns by using the charcoals as well as using shadowing in my work which made the visual project stand out more.
I'm entering this in a call for visual journals by the Brooklyn Sketchbook Library to be put in a time capsule for 50 years (!). I've decided the theme will be birds, with the Emily Dickinson quote in mind, "I hope you love birds too. It's economical. It saves going to heaven."
Cada placa de esta pared lleva un número diminuto pintado en un círculo blanco, como si fuera parte de un juego de mesa gigante. En un extremo de la calle, unas grandes placas hacen las veces de índice: un catálogo que permite buscar el nombre correspondiente a cada pieza. Sin ese índice, la pared es pura anarquía visual —una máquina de escribir oxidada, un rostro esculpido en piedra, un círculo con forma de laberinto, una placa amarilla con la palabra "ELVIS!" en letras de cómic, dos figuras de metal que parecen bailar—. Con el índice, cada objeto recupera su nombre y su historia.
Lo interesante es que la pared no distingue jerarquías. Un poeta lituano del siglo XIX puede estar junto a un fan declarado de Elvis Presley, una caligrafía japonesa junto a un objeto abstracto imposible de descifrar sin ayuda. La lámpara que cuelga del alero ilumina el centro de la composición con un halo casi religioso, como si fuera un altar dedicado a la letra impresa. Ese contraste entre el orden numerado del catálogo y el caos aparente de la pared es, quizás, la mejor metáfora posible de lo que es una biblioteca: un desorden que solo tiene sentido cuando alguien se molesta en clasificarlo.

FORESTS
Forest are the most biodiverse terrestrial habitats on the planet and rival the oceans in their influence on the biosphere. The stabilize land, control flows of water, and modulate global as well as local climates. They also supply food, medicine, fiber, and building materials for people. About half of the forest that cover Earth before the spread of human inluence has disappeared: forests once blanketed about half of the planet's land area, but today, they cloak only about one-fourth. Even with these losses, forest still account for more than two-thirds of the leaf area of plants and contain about 70 per cent of the carbon present in living things.

Happy Saturday...the temps are below 70 here in south florida. The start of our dry season and cooler weather and soon there will be more birds so I can get more out into the field.
But I admit that I've had a lot of fun with these flower pics taken in my home studio. It's kept me creative during the slow birding periods.
This was taken a few months ago and I gave it a bath in Lucisart, and Autofx tints and edges.
With dryer weather and water levels, that should also mean wading bird feeding frenzy so hopefully I'll make it out to the wetlands manana.
See y'all out in the field.

UM LINDO VISUAL...
- Este jogo de sombras e luz, que adoro, me faz lembrar de uma colega de trabalho... a Beatriz. Ela também adora fotos, mas não é muito fã de sair...
- No chão o que se encontra no céu...
A BEAUTIFUL LOOK...
- This play of shadows and light, which I love, reminds me of a coworker... Beatriz. She also loves photos, but she's not much of a fan...
- On the ground what is in the sky...
