Its Setsubun in Japan, a feast day involving the casting out of demons at various shrines. I took out the Alain head and played with the sliders a bit to create something suitable and slightly odd looking with Oni fangs.
Although its the wrong time of year for the Spider Lily, you cannot deny that it is a beautiful flower when in full bloom, something that cinphul has managed to perfectly capture in her hairstick set. I'm holding the gorgeous Lodestone Heart by !Reliquary! which has an added rim light which catches the eye during the tossing animation.
Both available only at the Midnight Order event.

However, Hillel’s greatest legacy was neither his assiduous commitment to study nor his warm personality, but his forceful intellect, which directed Judaism toward the goal of *tikkun olam, the ethical bettering (literally, perfecting) of the world. In the most famous tale told about Hillel, a non-Jew approaches and asks Hillel to convert him to Judaism on the condition that he can define Judaism’s essence while standing on one foot. “What is hateful unto you do not do unto your neighbor,” Hillel responds. “The rest is commentary—now go and study” (Shabbat 31a).

Various shooting ranges sit on a hillside northeast of Bakersfield, The range advertises over 200 acs of shooting rranges. The range lies hogbacks and strike valley in the Sierra Nevada Foothills.
I like the different cloud shapes and types at the various levels in the sky, from dark and ominous down low to quite decent up high.
A fruit orchard full of golden oranges, rows of fig trees just coming into leaf in the foreground and whitewashed houses with red roofs and lacy chimneys in the background.
Nowadays, the Algarve’s image is associated with citrus fruit orchards, but in dry and sunny land many fig trees, almond trees and carob trees grow and constitute the “dryland orchard”.
With large areas of fig trees the Algarve exported dry figs for centuries, with high impact on the regional economy. [...]. According to the Tora the fig is one of the seven foods which grow in the Promised Land. According to the Bible Adam covered himself with the fig leaf.
The citrus fruit orchards are widely spread in the Algarve.
The sweet orange was brought in the 16th century from China to Europe by the Portuguese. They are called “portuguesas” in various countries, especially in the Balkans. Google
Various plants in the arboretum in Rogów. It's nice to walk there among this greenery :)
The Rogów Arboretum, established in 1925, is the Station of Protection and Shaping of Forest Ecosystems. It covers an area of 54 ha and is of an exceptional character as compared with other centers of the type in Poland or Europe, because it has been built from the very beginning as a research – didactic object and, moreover, it was located in the forest and has been tightly connected with the forest experimental study from the moment of its origin. The Arboretum consists of three basic parts: the dendrological collections (about 22 ha), the forest experimental plots (about 18 ha) and the alpine garden (1.5 ha).
The dendrological collections that is tree and shrub individuals planted either separately or in groups or small area forms, are mainly concentrated in the central and southern part of the Arboretum, covering a total of 2350 species and varieties. The Arboretum’s specialty is its collection of maples and shrubs from China. This segment is managed naturally, having the look of more a forest park than a typical botanical garden. The trees give the shelter and the proper microclimate for the introduced trees and shrubs.

Bujna roślinność w arboretum w Rogowie. Miło tak spacerować tam wśród zieleni :)
Arboretum w Rogowie – należy do grupy najcenniejszych, najbogatszych w gatunki i odmiany drzew i krzewów tego typu ogrodów w Europie. Położony jest w dawnym siedlisku leśym i ma charakter parku leśnego. Od początku istnienia (1925 r.) podlega pod Wydział Leśny SGGW. Na jego obszarze znajdują się jedne z najbogatszych i najciekawszych kolekcji drzew i krzewów Europy Środkowo-Wschodniej. Najchetniej odwiedzanym miejscem w ogrodzie jest alpinarium. Oprócz wyniesionych na 2 m ponad poziom gruntu skalniaków, założono tu ciąg strumyków, kilka oczek wodnych i 5-arowy staw z wyspą. W rogowskim alpinarium można obejrzeć ponad 400 gatunków i odmian roślin, pochodzących z gór całego świata. W większości są to byliny, ale nie tylko. Rosną tu także krzewy i drzewa terenów górzystych, np. majestatyczne świerki serbskie, kształtne limby czy srebrzyste jodły kalifornijskie.
I went out to visit the Cathedral of Sewage today but didn't manage to get any decent pictures because the sun was very bright and directly behind it. Still, the view in the opposite direction was interesting enough. I wonder which will last the longer, background or foreground...?
The Allegory of Fame is a painting by the Dutch Golden Age artist Gerard de Lairesse (1641-1711). Gerard de Lairesse was a renowned painter and art theorist in the 17th century, known for his contributions to Dutch Classicism.
The Allegory of Fame, also known as "Fama", is one of his notable works and depicts the allegorical figure of Fame. In Greek mythology, Fame, also known as Pheme, was the personification of fame and renown. In Roman mythology, she was called Fama.
The painting typically shows a female figure with outstretched wings, symbolizing the widespread reach of her influence and reputation. She is often portrayed with a trumpet or a horn, which she uses to announce the achievements and accomplishments of individuals to the world.
Fame was a popular subject in Renaissance and Baroque art, and artists often depicted her in various poses and contexts to convey different aspects of her influence and power.
In Gerard de Lairesse's version of the Allegory of Fame, he likely imbued the composition with his distinctive style, characterized by a grand and classical aesthetic. His paintings were influenced by classical antiquity, and he was particularly inspired by the works of Italian Renaissance artists, such as Raphael and Michelangelo.
"all artists are invited / to share their view / on the role of / authority in an inflammable environment"

I photographed Mt. Fuji from the roof of a nearby supermarket. The weather was not good, it was cloudy. Unlike the weather, shopping at supermarkets was a lot of enjoy. Shopping will be stress relief.

Just trying out a few things with macros both shooting and processing, from my backyard. I'm getting a 56mm lens later this week, which is sort of a specialty lens (Lensbaby) which I hope to experiment with a bit, including with macros. It's a totally manual lens, meaning there is no communication between the lens and camera (and it's lot cheaper too)! One of the macros I used on some of these images is a manual lens as well - the Laowa 100mm f/2.8 2X macro. It's pretty cool!
The final remnant of the Russell Court Hotel in Belfast. It opened in 1972 at the height of The Troubles - and was bombed out a month later. It reopened, but was bombed yet again in 1976, and never reopened as a hotel after that. Subsequently it had various uses, including a pub (I was there a few times as a student) and sheltered housing. But now it’s being completely demolished to make way for a new building.
