Pay attention to your pets this weekend, people. Pets go missing on July 4 / Canada Day, more than any other day of the year. Fireworks scare our furry friends. ♥
Village Panorama in Shanghai's Nanhui District (上海市南汇区). Stitched from 4 pictures. February 2004. View in XXL.
The area in this particular picture is now industrially developed, a car plant of SAIC is in that place - picture has historical value...
So, what would we see, standing here in 2024? Read below:
We are standing right outside the SAIC plant fence, we'd see lots of "MG" branded cars, SAIC produces these "British" cars here for the global market. Right in front of the viewer, beyond the plant fence, is the parking lot for newly produced cars, it is roofed and the roofs are covered with solar panels.
To the left, about where these houses are (beyond that road), are the press shop and the body shop. Right of that, a bit more towards the center, but hidden behind the aforementioned buildings, are the paint shop and final assembly.
If one turns around 180° one would see a huge gravel area covered with oversized car transporter trucks.

To see more of the emptiness or rather more of spaciousness, viewers from around the world are now tracking the following blogger:
Coming back to the musicians of the younger generation, some say few of them play with their heart. Competitions as a way of starting a career in music is devastating. And then there is the rise of recording business where audience would listen with the sheet music on hand ! And then the undue influence of the so-called critiques -- mostly paid one way or the other-- turning music into a money making machine, promoting populism even in classical music. Few musicians nowadays improvise anymore and rubato is a rarity; too many scales and etudes instead. Furtwangler used to interprete music there and then, so every time is different, making music a multi-facet expressive and organic entity. The tradition is gone. The change of modern human relationship, following the rise of metropolitan city life particularly so with the breaking down of families and family ties. Does one need to know life better before he actually knows about arts, the imitation of life ? Making things worse, noisy factories are full steam ahead... All in all, only 3-5 % of the population are still listening to classical music these days, according to numerous surveys! I, nevertheless, find the following players charming:

Artistic close-up framing of yellow Senna focusing on the intense, mood-lifting yellow color of the petals.
The use of a wide aperture creates a soft, blurred background (bokeh), which effectively isolates the central flowers and makes them the clear focal point.
The inclusion of out-of-focus buds in the foreground and background creates a sense of three-dimensional depth, drawing the viewer’s eye through the various stages of the bloom.
The primary blossoms are positioned slightly off-center, adhering roughly to the rule of thirds, which provides a more dynamic and natural feel than a perfectly centered subject.
The lighting appears soft and warm, likely captured during the "golden hour," which complements the natural yellow hue of the petals. The harmonious mix of vibrant yellows and soft greens creates a refreshing, spring-like aesthetic.
The highlights on the petals are well-controlled, preserving the delicate texture of the flower without becoming "blown out" or losing detail.
The vibrant, sunny yellow of the blossoms contrasts beautifully with the soft, muted greens of the foliage.
The extremely shallow depth of field (low f-stop) creates a "dreamy" and abstract quality, a common technique to transform literal subjects into artistic shapes and lines.

Artistic framing of a beautiful blossoming Almond tree set against a backdrop of rustic stone architecture.
Characterized by its dense cluster of pale pink to white blossoms, these trees are among the first to flower, signaling the end of winter and arrival of spring in various regions worldwide.
Almond trees thrive in light, well-drained soil, specifically in the mountainous regions of Saint Catherine in South Sinai. The blossoms are delicate and range in color from white to pale pink.
Historically, this tree holds significant cultural and spiritual symbolism in the region, a classic symbol of awakening, hope and new life.
The central placement of the tree makes it the undisputed focal point. The strong diagonal lines of the stone walls and pathway lead the viewer's eye towards the tree and into the scene. The framing by the walls creates a sense of depth and enclosure.
The color palette is dominated by the warm, earthy tones of the stone, which contrast nicely with the delicate white and pink blossoms and the patches of green foliage. The natural lighting appears soft and even, highlighting the textures of the stone and the intricate network of branches without creating harsh shadows.
The overall mood is tranquil and serene, capturing a moment of natural beauty within a structured, man-made environment. The image evokes a sense of spring and renewal in an arid landscape.
The inclusion of the stone path on the right acts as a leading line, drawing the viewer's eye into the background and providing a sense of place and depth.
The photograph excels in its textural contrast. There is a palpable tactile quality to the "rough, scaly" tree bark and the "cracked, weathered" surface of the stone blocks. These details create a "sense of touch" for the viewer, making the scene feel grounded and realistic.
The image evokes a sense of tranquility and the arrival of spring, as almond blossoms are known to be one of the first fruit trees to bloom, often signaling the change of seasons.

A portrait is a painting, photograph, sculpture, or other artistic representation of a person, in which the face and its expression is predominant. The intent is to display the likeness, personality, and even the mood of the person. For this reason, in photography a portrait is generally not a snapshot, but a composed image of a person in a still position. A portrait often shows a person looking directly at the painter or photographer, in order to most successfully engage the subject with the viewer.

Line_up 8 pcs paperwork, oilcolor, graphite, transport Box 2014. The “line_up“ is a paperwork series I developed since 2010. The “liners” are made out of paper (Din A3/A4),
oil paint and graphite. The theme is the hermetical laws of polarity and movement. There is no ending and no beginning in any direction, just an endless movement. You have the possibility to arrange the papers like you want and that makes it an endless playground for my photo-work and the eyes of the viewers.
