As Christmas Day draws closer, it's very exciting to look at the wrapped gifts and to wonder what's inside each one. In fact, the excitement can sometimes become so intense that you can actually see it swirling around the gifts... 😄
Looking Close on Friday: "Wrapped Gifts" theme

Speaking of gifts, I wish the gift of a warm and festive holiday season to all of my Flickr friends, and a very Merry Christmas to all who celebrate. Thanks for your comments and support throughout the year; it is very much appreciated!
For any who might be interested in how this image was made, by the way, I've added a brief description in the first comment box.

Wire fence found on my snowy outing a few days ago. Someone must have tied red plastic bits to it to make it more visible. I am sure they were bigger originally but have withered away.
Have a great weekend everyone!
Погляд в східному напрямку (в напрямку іконостасу) з бічної південної нави на грані пілонів між центральною та північною навами, на середню центральну та бічну північну нави, на хори північної нави. Видно частину іконостасу та вівтаря центральної нави.
Внутрішній простір собору розділено вісьмома пілонами на три нави, з яких середня вища і ширша за бічні. Бічні нави двоярусні, на верхніх хорах розміщено бічні вівтарі — Ольгинський (з півдня) і Борисоглібський (з півночі).
На світлині, з лівої сторони, у другому компартименті (вважаючи від вівтаря) бічної північної нави - на гранях пілонів, один навпроти одного, зображені святий Микола Святоша і святий Авраамій Смоленський. У медальйонах між ними – святий Єфрем Переяславський та святий Никон Печерський. Всі вони святі ченці, причому троє з них, крім Авраамія Смоленського, були ченцями Києво-Печерської обителі.
Микола Святоша був першим князем Русі, який прийняв чернецтво. Він зображений як простий чернець, нічого княжого на ньому немає. У руках його чітки, на ногах – лапті.
Художник Вільгельм Котарбінський, (польська - Wilhelm Kotarbiński).
На грані пілону зі сторони центральної нави, святий великомученик князь Михайло Чернігівський.
Князь Михайло Чернігівський, разом із боярином своїм Феодором (який зображений у медальйоні на підкупольній арці), прийняв мученицьку кончину в Орді, не бажаючи вклонитися вогню, якого татаро-монголи шанували як бога. У лівій руці князя прибраний, на знак смирення, у піхви меч, у правій – хрест.
Художник Віктор Михайлович Васнєцов.
З боку центральної нави на гранях підкупольних пілонів, один навпроти одного, зображені святі благовірні князі-страстотерпці – сини святого Великого князя Володимира, святі великомученики Борис (на світлині) та Гліб. Вони з дитинства відрізнялися благочестям і братерською любов'ю один до одного та інших братів, являючи собою ідеал християнської лагідності.
На світлині, з лівої сторони, на ближньому пілоні арки, з боку бічної північної нави, святий великомученик Борис, за традицією зображений старшим. Він у княжому одязі та вінці, але очі його смиренно опущені. У правій руці у нього спис, у лівій – хрест.
Образи Бориса і Гліба виконав художник Михайло Васильович Нестєров за ескізами Віктора Михайловича Васнєцова.
"Chouchou is a historic location in Second Life. Each of us has visited it at least once, and it enchanted us.
At the point of arrival, water, and an endless horizon seemingly infinite surround you.
When you activate music, it’s magic. The music is original to the authors of the location, more specifically: Juliet Heberle is a vocalist, while Arabesque Choch is a composer. The original music of Chouchou on the official website of the sim: chouchou.cc/music/.
Chouchou is known for its music and for the location of water that inspired many other sites, but it is right to remember that the sim hosts two other exciting spaces in the sky, Islamey, and Memento, accessible by a teleport located at the foot of the staircase that leads to the air.
Also, the authors of the location have made artistic videos of high level, and they are visible on their website at the following link: chouchou.cc/music/, under the heading “music videos.”
Today, reading on Facebook, I learned that Chouchou is in danger of closing down.
Many people are worried about this news because Chouchou is a symbol of Second Life, one of many, of course. However, one of the most significant. I hope that the Linden Lab will accept the invitation to preserve this place that for many Second Life users is a corner of peace, harmony, and therapy to the greyness of everyday life."

I have to admit to lots of moving the sliders backwards and forwards in Lightroom until I finally got the shadows as visible as they are in the picture!
29:52 Collaboration - It doesn't matter what you shoot - anything you like. But you will send your unedited image to another person in the group to do the processing.
I had a very lovely image provided by Kelley Cheung to work with, thank you, Kelley! Do you know what the flower is?
A lovely rose just poking up over some other plants.
Better viewed large and thank you for your favourites.
Always nice when you start a gray day on the road, and you drive along a lake, the sky opens up, and you see this!.
Norway, a stunningly beautiful country. Around every corner a chance for a scenic image, forcing me from time to time to stop every kilometer to get out of my car, sometimes with screeching brakes, and sometimes forcing me to curse because there was no place to stop.
Lovely valleys, bare mountains and cold winds, snow packs, glaciers, beautiful lakes, and then there are the enchanting fjords that never stop to amaze. The most beautiful country of Europe, for me no doubt about that, with only one minor aspect, which is the weather. During my month of traveling I only had 4 really nice days, the rest of the time clouds, rain, and very changeable! Still no regret, and I will go back to make even more than the 3500 pictures that I took this time.
Another very active vacation that took me to the south west up to Trondheim in a sort of triangle between Oslo- trondheim and Bergen with the whole route visible here (www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10153668247101759&set...).
The John Madejski Garden is one of the most elegant outdoor venues in London. it is a tranquil space featuring a paved ellipse with water jets between steps, which are illuminated at night. the design allows the beautiful 19th-century terracotta facades to be more visible and provides flexibility to transform
the space for different types of events. The garden is one of London’s hidden treasures and is particularly magical when lit.
Entering the Basilica we can see the mosaic floor belonging to the Theodorian South Hall, one of the three main rooms constituting the bishop's seat during the empire of Constantine. Theodore, whom the inscription on the floor in the Fishing Scene refers to, had built a complex of worship perfectly corresponding to the liturgical needs of that time. He bought an urban area, demolished the warehouses situated in it and built a complex with the shape of a horseshoe. Two rectangular parallel halls (South and North Hall), connected by a rectangular transversal hall. Between the two parallel halls to the east of the transversal hall there were the baptistery, some ancillary rooms and the entrance to the whole complex. Of this first complex are visible today: in the Basilica. the mosaic of the South Hall, part of the cocciopesto floor of the transversal hall, part of the mosaic floor of the entry; in the Crypt of Excavations, remains of the mosaics of the North Hall, remains of the cocciopesto of the transversal room and the floors of the ancillary rooms; the remains of the old baptistery with circular baptismal font are not visible instead. According to some scholars the South Hall was used by catechumens preparing for baptism, while the North Hall was used for the Holy Mass. Other scholars instead are convinced of the contrary. The connecting room was used both as a dressing room before the baptism following the rite of immersion and for the celebration of the Confirmation. The mosaic floor is divided into panels bordered by vegetal motives (acanthus shoots). There are ten "carpets", each representing different highly symbolical scenes, some of which are considered particularly important.
A panoramic photo near the top of the Tongariro Crossing. The track is visible on the right crossing the valley floor. Mt Ngauruhoe is in the centre. Mt Taranaki is just visible on the horizon on the right.
A distinctive, large white wading bird with a spatula for a bill. Adult has short crest, yellowish breast patch. First year has paler bill, with fine black wingtips visible in flight. Sleeping birds have horizontal posture and bulging neck, vs. more vertical stance of egrets. Found in wetlands with shallow water (including tidal flats), where feeds by sweeping its bill side-to-side for crustaceans and small fish. May be confused with egrets when sleeping, but note stockier, more thickset overall appearance.
Avec sa courbe spectaculaire et sa structure typique des années 20, ce magnifique escalier patrimonial situé au Printemps Haussmann qui répondent aux lignes rationnelles de l’Art déco
Il est né en pleines Années Folles, entre 1922 et 1924 sous la direction de l’architecte Georges Wybo
Il a été érigé 60 ans après la création du Grand Magasin à la suite des incendies des Nouveaux Magasins Printemps Haussmann de 1921
Après une restauration minutieuse, faisant suite à une fermeture de près de 40 ans, il retrouve un rôle d’honneur au Printemps Haussmann,
C’est la seule structure du Printemps Haussmann en béton armé.
Elle est unique dans le magasin et offre une grande légèreté grâce à la succession de miroirs le long des murs latéraux.
L'escalier flottant : Il se caractérise par l'absence de points d'appui visibles. Les rampes sont délimitées par des ferronneries aux motifs géométriques courant au centre de la cage.
La rambarde en forme de P : Cette caractéristique souligne l'attachement du Printemps à son identité et s'inscrit dans une approche moderne de la mise en valeur
With its spectacular curve and its typical structure of the 20s, this magnificent heritage staircase located at Printemps Haussmann that responds to the rational lines of Art Deco It was born in the middle of the Roaring Twenties, between 1922 and 1924 under the direction of the architect Georges Wybo It was erected 60 years after the creation of the Department Store following the fires of the New Printemps Haussmann Stores in 1921 After a meticulous restoration, following a closure of nearly 40 years, it returns to an honorary role at the Printemps Haussmann, It is the only structure of the Printemps Haussmann in reinforced concrete. It is unique in the store and offers great lightness thanks to the succession of mirrors along the side walls.
The floating staircase: It is characterized by the absence of visible support points. The ramps are delimited by metalwork with geometric patterns running through the centre of the cage.
The P-shaped railing: This feature underlines Printemps' attachment to its identity and is part of a modern approach to showcasing its heritage
🇮🇹 Il zigolo giallo
The yellowhammer seemed to have an aura of mystery about its movements and location, a now-you-see-me, now-you-don't bird, brilliantly visible and then gone, to re-appear elsewhere.
Thank you for your support!

Sunday afternoon at the Kunstmuseum. “It’s a madhouse,” sighs the lady at the ticket check. Compared to the cheerful crowd she has to check in, her grey-blue uniform looks tired. Young and old have dressed up fashionably for the exhibition about Dior.
Uniforms should express authority, but how neutral do they have to be? “High time to put a good, preferably younger fashion designer in charge,” says an inner voice. A museum that - after many shows of famous designers - has developed into an epicenter of haute couture should surely have more courage. How else do you express the bond with ‘fashion’? A word that unites such a myriad of meanings – from cut to shape, from mannerism to creation – that everyone can identify with it.
LEFT OR RIGHT
In any case, at the top of the central stairs, a choice has to be made. Right to the ‘New Look’ by Dior – left to the ‘Night Animals’ by Spilliaert and Braeckman. We go left because that's why we came. In the dim silence that falls on us like a downy blanket, we focus our eyes on the introductory text. And on the image of a man descending a staircase in the semi-darkness. To be precise, we only see half a man. His face is barely visible, and his clothing reveals nothing special. Could that be a harbinger of what awaits us? Certainly.
Stairs are powerful metaphors. Up, down: life has its peaks and valleys. Platinum-blonde Hollywood stars made a great show of descending a staircase. A practice that Marcel Duchamp slyly commented on with 'Nu descendant un escalier'. In this sensational painting from 1912, a character strides down like an avalanche of cubist fragments. Naked? Down the stairs? The audience was stunned, moved by laughter and anger.
Admittedly, there was movement in the image. Or rather, that was suggested very nicely. Or was it a pile of firewood that came crashing down? The cartoons in the newspaper did not mince their words. The term ‘anti-art’ was used. Isn’t Braeckman’s intensification of the unfathomable also just a provocation? Yes, there is something in that… some photos are so black that you can only guess what you see.

EN:: Best photographed at night when there are no background distractions, this art installation in a pond in the Tiergarten, Berlin. spoke to me of the adjustments societies had to make to the advent of shopping trolleys in supermarkets.
The very functional trolley that came after the advent of self service shopping coupled with carparks, meant that shoppers able to walk the trolley out of hte shopping centres and leave them strewn around the environs. Then came the temptation for anti-social individuals to take the trolleys further, dumping them in ornamental ponds, lakes even rivers.
Artistically this appealed because of the duplication by reflection, the waterline not immediately apparent.
The visible memory has remained, but the artist, the gallery and the specific location have all faded from memory. However, we would be most pleased to have any of that information, if there is any viewer who recognizes or recalls this installation.

D:: Diese Kunstinstallation lässt sich am besten nachts fotografieren, wenn es keine Ablenkungen im Hintergrund gibt. Sie befindet sich in einem Teich im Tiergarten in Berlin. Es sprach mir von den Anpassungen, die Gesellschaften an die Einführung von Einkaufswagen in Supermärkten vornehmen mussten.
Der sehr funktionelle Einkaufswagen, der nach dem Aufkommen des Selbstbedienungseinkaufs in Verbindung mit Parkplätzen auf den Markt kam, ermöglichte es den Käufern, den Einkaufswagen mit dem Wagen aus den Einkaufszentren herauszunehmen und ihn in der Umgebung verstreut zurückzulassen. Dann kam die Versuchung für unsoziale Menschen, die Karren weiter zu transportieren und sie in Zierteichen, Seen und sogar Flüssen abzuladen.

Our back story::
On our very first day in Berlin, we had so enjoyed many significant landmarks and encounters with people, that we just had to do some more exploring that night. As the night settled and the traffic quietened we were prepared to take our car into this unfamiliar city (driving on the other side of the road from what we are familiar with!) so quieter places like the Tiergarten seemed wise. We found it full of surprises - this art installation being one of them.
I am passionate about Astrophotography and the Aurora is one of the most incredible things you can often see. The Sun runs on around 11 year cycles and we are starting to come out of a quiet period where we start to see more Coronal Mass Ejections (CME's) which, given appropriate conditions, sun/earth orientation, and timings can lead to some incredible Aurora. I missed out on the 'big' aurora on the morning of the 24th April 2023 (which was a bummer) but captured more of it on the night of the 24th April 2023.
This image is of the Aurora Australis which was visible over Eagles Nest Lookout in Inverloch, Victoria, Australia. It was photographed on 24/4/2023 9:51:32 pm with a Sony ILCE-7RM4 (A7R 4) and Tamron 15-30mm F2.8-2.8 G @ 16 mm (with a Nikon to Sony Adapter), 30.0 sec at ƒ / 2.8, ISO 6400. I edited this image in Lightroom, and then in Topaz Photo AI (for DeNoise and Sharpening).
