Things that catch my eye as I navigate through the world

My better half Jerri is the Big Cheese of Orchids here... This was taken in her Orchid House. Thanks for the Visit and have a Large Tuesday.

Bishopsgate, City Of London

A classic car show i did--- Beautiful car plus i liked the colors and reflections by the sunset. I simply put the car to a simulated film effect on Exposure 2. Camera was an Olympus E500. The name comes from the sky's reflection on the car-- reminded me of the movie.

this was taken the day before the typhoon hit tokyo. we had signed up for the mt fuji tour weeks before and couldn't cancel. it rained throughout the tour. quite a damper, but provided a different sort of visual instead. we took shelter in narukawa art museum by lake ashi. on a clear day, you can see mt fuji behind the hills.

This is the single original image came out of my camera. Total visual contradiction. More you look at it, more it contradicts itself.

I'd like to share this panorama today to try and have a small break from some haunting images of Syrian refugees that I cannot get out of my head. The sunrise in this little village of Jamnik, Slovenia was mesmeraising and I hope it can provide a little rest to your thoughts.

 

Hoy me gustaria compartir este panorama para darle un breve descanso a mi mente que no deja de traerme imágenes desgarradoras de los refugiados sirios. El amanecer en la pequeña aldea de Jamnik, Eslovenia, fue cautivador y espero que os pueda dar un pequeño respiro visual y emocional.

Jökulsárlón is a visual dream if you like landscapes or even if you don't....:) The sunset was extremely spectacular that evening and although the wind was too fierce for cool sunset reflection shots, it was still a real nice photographic moment...

Mirit Ben-Nun dizzyingly integrates all of this into her private career, a colorful and spectacular painting, which ranges from Aboriginal diligence to feminist consciousness. Ben-Nun adorns the successful women with a tremendous abundance of colors and patterns, generously and with joy of life she wraps them with ‘mandorlas’ (almond-like shape), which surround each other and create “Babushkas”.

‘Your Own Dream’ is a modern Pop art style exhibit of paintings of women, by the feminine spirit of the artist, Mirit Ben-Nun. The painting series of the women was created and inspired by the book “Presence. Impact. Leadership”, and the majority of the women painted in the exhibit participate in this book by Dr. Efrat Liani, published by Kineret Zemorah Dvir.

 

The pond in nearby Sosnovka is good for hot summers when you don't want to go to other places. One guy dived in the water cooler than anyone: he ran and did a flip in the air.

 

Пруд в соседней Сосновке хорош жарким летом, когда на другие водоемы ехать не хочется. Один красавчик нырял в воду круче всех: разбегался и делал сальто в воздухе.

 

30 Days of Perception - Day 6

"Movement through gesture is a form of communication.

All phenomena are animate and expressive."

Kim Manley-Ort

 

As we express ourselves through gesture, movement and body language, so do all living things, including plants.

 

I cut a small branch of ivy to put in a vase to illustrate how the graceful movements suggest body language. I notice how the tiny new branches take directions of their own away from the main stem and how each leaf has its own personal expression. When I observe the movement of the branch, I enter into communication with the way it expresses itself. It's as if I can feel a movement and sway.

Esta obra digital de Mário Silva, intitulada "Dia Mundial da Dança", é uma ode visual ao movimento, à energia e à liberdade de expressão.

Através de uma técnica de impasto digital vibrante, o artista consegue a proeza de tornar o ritmo audível através das cores e das texturas.

A pintura explode numa sinfonia de cores e formas que captam a essência da dança contemporânea e urbana.

A Figura Central: No coração da composição, uma jovem bailarina com cabelos castanhos ao vento assume uma pose dinâmica e poderosa.

Trajada com um top branco e calças de ganga azuis, a sua postura exprime entrega total e vitalidade.

O Grupo de Dança: À sua volta, outros bailarinos e bailarinas acompanham o movimento, cada um numa pose única que sugere uma coreografia em grupo, mas mantendo a individualidade.

As suas vestes em tons de laranja, amarelo, rosa e vermelho criam um arco-íris de movimento humano.

Técnica e Atmosfera: O uso de pinceladas grossas e ricas (impasto) cria uma sensação de relevo e urgência.

O fundo não é estático; é um turbilhão de luz branca e tons pastéis que parecem emanar dos próprios bailarinos, como se a alegria da dança estivesse a colorir o mundo à sua volta.

Simbolismo: A obra não retrata apenas um estilo de dança, mas a "alma" da dança — a celebração do corpo como instrumento de arte e comunicação.

O Ritmo da Vida e a Poesia do Movimento

O título da pintura, "Dia Mundial da Dança", celebra uma linguagem que não conhece fronteiras nem precisa de dicionários.

Na prosa visual de Mário Silva, a dança é o momento em que o ser humano se despoja de gravidade e se torna pura luz.

.

A Origem de um Dia Universal

Instituído em 1982 pelo Comité Internacional da Dança da UNESCO, o dia 29 de abril foi escolhido para celebrar o nascimento de Jean-Georges Noverre (1727-1810), o grande mestre e criador do ballet moderno.

No entanto, como Mário Silva ilustra na sua tela, a celebração de hoje transcende o ballet clássico para abraçar todas as formas de expressão corporal.

É um dia para recordar que a dança é a arte primordial, aquela que começa no bater do coração e se estende até às pontas dos dedos.

.

O Significado e a Importância

Dançar é um ato de liberdade.

No mundo frenético em que vivemos, o Dia Mundial da Dança surge como um lembrete da importância de ouvir o nosso próprio ritmo.

A importância deste dia reside na sua capacidade de unir povos e culturas através de um diálogo silencioso, mas profundamente eloquente.

Na obra de Mário Silva, vemos essa união: figuras diversas que, embora em poses diferentes, partilham o mesmo espaço vibrante, a mesma luz e a mesma paixão.

A dança promove a saúde, a saúde mental e, acima de tudo, a comunhão humana.

.

A Pintura como Coreografia Silenciosa

Mário Silva utiliza o impasto digital como se estivesse a coreografar com o pincel.

Cada marca de cor é um passo, cada textura é um salto.

Ao olharmos para a figura central em calças de ganga e top branco, percebemos que a dança não é algo reservado para palcos distantes; ela acontece na rua, na vida quotidiana, em qualquer lugar onde o espírito se sinta livre para se mover.

A frase implícita na tela é a de que todos podemos ser bailarinos da nossa própria existência.

.

Conclusão

Em "Dia Mundial da Dança", Mário Silva oferece-nos mais do que uma imagem; oferece-nos um impulso.

É um convite para que o observador sinta a vibração das cores e se deixe contagiar pela alegria desenfreada do grupo.

Este dia, e esta obra, lembram-nos de que, enquanto houver música e enquanto houver corpo, haverá esperança.

Porque, no final, a vida não é apenas para ser vivida — é para ser dançada.

Polaroid week - Spring 2026 - Day 2 / Photo 1

A nearlyunbroken carpet of colorful autumn trees in New Hampshire.

 

As I have shared New England fall color photographs you may nave noticed that I often contrast that spectacle with my more familiar western aspen groves. One of the main reasons I made this photograph was practical — I wanted to illustrate just how significant that difference is. Aspens in California tend to cluster in relatively small and separate groves. Even the larger ones are typically surrounded by conifers, scrub, or rocky terrain. In autumn, the effect is often to produce star areas of color set off against areas with little or no fall color.

 

This photograph shows the difference. I made it near a high point on New Hampshire’s “Kancamagus Scenic Byway, ” among the most popular places for viewing the East Coast autumn color. You are looking down at a hardwood forest full of different trees with different colors. And the trees shown here are a tiny fraction of the forest that was spread out before me, rising from valleys toward the high ridges — with almost everywhere the same wild blanket of colors.

As anybody who knows my photography will know I've been photographing the abandoned, derelict Black Rock site for quite a few years and it became my main genre during lockdown.

 

We were told work was due to begin on 9th January on an access road going across the area so I thought I'd get some time this weekend to capture anything I've missed. Instead the work has begun, the rubbish cleared and the land levelled, ready for work to begin on Monday.

Peñoñ de los enamorados ( Sierra de las Nieves , Málaga )

It is brown for so much of the year here that when the hills turn green it's a visual treat.

As I told you before and in the last post , I do everyday one little illustration . Here you can see the starlings I saw today in front of my window, some flowers and that yellow girl is my vision of Amanda Gorman, the United States' first-ever youth poet laureate. She recited a powerful poem at the inauguration of President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris.

Here are some of her words.:

"When day comes we step out of the shade,

aflame and unafraid,

the new dawn blooms as we free it.

For there is always light,

if only we're brave enough to see it.

If only we're brave enough to be it."

 

I love that message of hope.

thank you www.flickr.com/photos/colorfulexpressions/ for making me pay attention to this moment.
