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."

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!

I was sitting on the sidewalk in front of my usual perch trying to get some dramatic shots. It was uncomfortable and I stayed just a few minutes.

A free Spirit
Mirit Ben-Nun was born in Beer- Sheva in 1966. Over the years she has presented in solo exhibitions and participated in group exhibitions in Israel and around the world.
When she was six, her father was killed in a car accident, leaving behind his wife and two daughters, Mirit and Dana.
Ben-Nun had difficulty concentrating on studies, which caused behavioral problems, and at the age of fourteen she dropped out of the education system and went to work. The colors and writing tools gave her a quiet private space and her own way of surviving. Creativity eased her tumultuous soul.
Until her early 30’s she worked as a telemarketer and for the next fourteen years she doodled and doodled. While talking to customers she filled thousands of pages with lines and dots that resembled hundreds of compressed eggs and seeds which she threw away.
In a large portion of each page she would pick a random word and would write it down over and over while concentrating on her hand movements.
Even then she noticed the rising of her need and obsession as she practiced the endless doodling and writing.
Ben-Nun testifies that the lack of artistic training to paint "correctly" freed her from adhering to the rules of painting and allowed her freedom and spirit of rebellion.
In 1998, she received a bunch of canvases and acrylic paints as a gift from her sister.
She brought the acrylic into her world of lines and dots; she went back to painting women and masks that appeared in her childhood paintings and flooded them with lines and dots without separating body and background.
This is also the moment when Ben-Nun began to refer to herself as a painter.
and when art became the center of her life.
The intense colors in Ben-Nun's paintings sweep the viewer into a sensual experience. The viewer traces the surge of dots and lines formed in packed layers of paint. The movement leads to a kind of female-male hormonal dance within the human body and to a communion with an artistic experience of instinct, passion, conceiving and birth.
Contributing to this experience is the wealth of characteristics reminiscent of tribal art. Ben-Nun merges these with a humorous and kicking contemporary Western Pop art. In the language of unique art, Ben-Nun creates an unconventional conversation between past and present cultures.
It is evident that the paintings emerge from a regenerated need and desire, a force that erupts from her soul, a subconscious survival instinct to which she cannot or does not want to resist.
Ben-Nun places women at the center stage where they are her work focus. The paintings obsessively deal with the existential experience of being a woman in the world. A few of the women's paintings carry feminist slogans stressing the women's struggle in society, a critique for being held to perfection and being required to perform as a model of "beauty, purity and motherhood". Feminism pulsates in Ben-Nun's psyche, through her diverse female images and the play between beauty and unsightliness; Ben-Nun assimilates the consciousness of feminine possibility, of not being "perfect", of being powerful, influential, and outside social norms. This mandates a departure from acceptable limitations where Ben-Nun creates a new world of free spirit for women.
Mirit Ben-Nun is a mother of three and the grandmother of three grandchildren.

A new visual journal -- courtesy the talented Norma Lydon -- that I just began, having completed the other.
With the weather turned grey and the spring flowers just starting to poke through, it is nice to view again some fall blooming flowers from a lovely front porch garden in Neskowin, Oregon.
With all my ❤️ I thank you for your ⭐ or 💬 or just for 👀 it.

Sometimes a single colour is enough to shape an entire atmosphere.
The repetition of these glowing octagonal niches creates a visual rhythm, while the warm orange light transforms simple architectural details into an almost abstract composition. A few open windows reveal fragments of the interior of restaurant in Atlantis Hotel in Dubai , gently breaking the symmetry and inviting the eye to explore.
Light doesn't always illuminate a space...
Sometimes it becomes the architecture itself.
The first two days from our trip to Dresden. I like this city! Although Dresden is a big city they have so many wonderful green spaces.
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, (*_*)

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.

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."
When it's 100 during the day, people come out at night. Even in the rain! These streets were full of little restaurant, bars, and tourist traps. Plenty of county fair type games, and even a few traditional Japanese archery rooms.

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...
