Can AI "photos" coexist with the "traditional" imagery???
Do you feel "betrayed" when (if) you found out a photo was an Artificial "photo"... are we getting used to being "lied" too?
Things are likely to become yet more complex as use of artificial intelligence by artists becomes more widespread, and as the machines get better at producing creative works, further blurring the distinction between artwork that is made by a human and that made by a computer.
(NOTE: on purpose I posted this also in "normal" portrait groups to get some reactions)

Toda people are a Dravidian ethnic group who live in the Nilgiri Mountains of Tamil Nadu. Before the 18th century and British colonisation, the Toda coexisted locally with other ethnic communities, including the Kota, Badaga and Kurumba, in a loose caste-like society, in which the Toda were the top ranking. During the 20th century, the Toda population has hovered in the range 700 to 900. Although an insignificant fraction of the large population of India, since the early 19th century the Toda have attracted "a most disproportionate amount of attention because of their ethnological aberrancy" and "their unlikeness to their neighbours in appearance, manners, and customs." The study of their culture by anthropologists and linguists proved significant in developing the fields of social anthropology and ethnomusicology.
The Toda traditionally live in settlements called mund, consisting of three to seven small thatched houses, constructed in the shape of half-barrels and located across the slopes of the pasture, on which they keep domestic buffalo. Their economy was pastoral, based on the buffalo, which dairy products they traded with neighbouring peoples of the Nilgiri Hills. Toda religion features the sacred buffalo; consequently, rituals are performed for all dairy activities as well as for the ordination of dairymen-priests. The religious and funerary rites provide the social context in which complex poetic songs about the cult of the buffalo are composed and chanted.
Fraternal polyandry in traditional Toda society was fairly common; however, this practice has now been totally abandoned, as has female infanticide. During the last quarter of the 20th century, some Toda pasture land was lost due to outsiders using it for agriculture or afforestation by the State Government of Tamil Nadu. This has threatened to undermine Toda culture by greatly diminishing the buffalo herds. Since the early 21st century, Toda society and culture have been the focus of an international effort at culturally sensitive environmental restoration. The Toda lands are now a part of The Nilgiri Biosphere Reserve, a UNESCO-designated International Biosphere Reserve; their territory is declared UNESCO World Heritage Site.
“The thing is, you cannot ask people to coexist by having one side bow their heads and rely on a solution that is only good for the other side. What you can do is stop blaming each other and engage in dialogue with one person at a time. Everyone knows that violence begets violence and breeds more hatred. We need to find our way together. I feel I cannot rely on the various spokespersons who claim they act on my behalf. Invariably they have some agenda that doesn't work for me. Instead, I talk to my patients, to my neighbors and colleagues--Jews, Arabs--and I find out they feel as I do: we are more similar than we are different, and we are all fed up with the violence.”
― Izzeldin Abuelaish

Caption reads: Two strong patterns coexist harmoniously in this room. The secret of their compatibility is color. Bold pinks and greens are combined on the desk wall in an exciting plaid pattern; in the bed alcove, they appear in a geometric arrangement of diamonds and related figures. Bright patterns such as these have great visual impact, so use them sparingly [this is sparingly???] to showcase one piece of furniture, or define one area of a room. To further neutralize the strong patterns used in this room, large amounts of solid pinks and greens, as well as cooling expanses of white, have been used in the scheme.

Most of the time the sparrows visiting my portable stump coexist in harmony, but from time to time disputes arise. That is when you see tactics ranging from displaying with head down, wings out and tail fanned, to pecking your rival and even to outright aggression. Most of this video was shot at 180 fps, which means it is replayed at one sixth of 'normal' speed. Normally all we would see would be a flurry of feathers, but slowed down we get more of an insight into the sparrows' world.
Includes a guest appearance.

✨ NGC 6914 – Where light learns to coexist with darkness ✨
This image was not born in a single night.
It is the result of months of patience, stretching from warm summer nights to the quiet cold of December, stealing small moments of sky whenever possible, returning again and again to the telescope, letting the heavens slowly write their story.
With over 12 hours of total integration in LRGB + Hα, NGC 6914 reveals itself as a true cosmic boundary land:
🌌 emission nebulae glowing with hydrogen fire,
💎 reflection nebulae softly scattering the blue light of young stars,
and vast lanes of interstellar dust that separate, connect, and give depth to the entire field.
There is no rush here.
Every photon has traveled for thousands of years before reaching the sensor, and every session was a quiet act of faith—trusting that, by adding small moments together, the universe would eventually speak.
NGC 6914 does not shout.
It breathes.
And in that delicate balance between light and shadow, between science and emotion, is where the true magic of astrophotography lives. 🌠
Phainopepla (f) and California Scrub Jay
Peacefully coexisting in the brisk sunshine, they both seemed oblivious to one another's presence.
Here is a remarkable pair of predators apparently coexisting on flowers in the mint patch of the garden - I've never seen them so close together. That's a Crab Spider (Thomisidae) on the left, probably genus Mecaphesa again, and a little Pacific Ambush Bug (Phymata pacifica, Phymatidae, Heteroptera, Hemiptera) on the right. Hah - it looks like they're racing down a track, but they're actually quite still. (San Marcos Pass, 2 September 2017)
All of my photos today feature a crab spider. I figure that's appropriate because it's now September - not autumn yet or Arachtober, but getting close. Predators like these two have the job of picking off all the pollinators before winter comes and kills them anyway.
The season of the predators has begun - but it was still god-awful hot today. It's been very warm at night, 92° at 3:00 AM last night. It's hard to sleep. It got up to 109° this morning according to a neighbor's weather station ... but then it started to cool down as monsoon clouds started to move in. There's now a 40% chance of monsoon rain on Sunday afternoon and evening with extra moisture from what's left of Hurricane Lidia down in Baja. The clouds will cool us down some more, so this is hopefully the end of our triple-digit days for a while. Hah - it's already cooled down into the upper 80s this evening. That's the coolest its been for a couple of days and nights!

the xx – Coexist (Detail of the record sleeve for the xx album, 'Coexist', released on 5 September 2012)
Berat, designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2008, comprises a unique style of architecture with influences from several civilizations that have managed to coexist for centuries. Like many cities in Albania, Berat comprises an old fortified city filled with churches and mosques painted with grandiose wealth of visible murals and frescoes.
The name "Berat" is probably derived from an Old Slavonic term, meaning "white city". It is believed to have been the site of the ancient city "Antipatreia" In the Republic of Venice the city was known as Belgrado di Romania (Rumelian Belgrade), while in the Ottoman Empire it was also known as Belgrad-i Arnavud (Albanian Belgrade) to distinguish it from Belgrade in Serbia.
Berat lies on the right bank of the river Osum, a short distance from the point where it is joined by the Molisht river. The old city centre consists of three parts: Kalaja (on the castle hill), Mangalem (at the foot of the castle hill) and Gorica (on the left bank of the Osum). It has a wealth of beautiful buildings of high architectural and historical interest. The pine forests above the city, on the slopes of the towering Tomorr mountains, provide a backdrop of appropriate grandeur. The Osumi river has cut a 915-metre deep gorge through the limestone rock on the west side of the valley to form a precipitous natural fortress, around which the town was built on several river terraces.
According to an Albanian legend, the Tomor mountain was originally a giant, who fought with another giant (mountain) called Shpirag over a young woman. They killed each other and the girl drowned in her tears, which then became the Osum river. Mount Shpirag, named after the second giant, is on the left bank of the gorge, above the district of Gorica.
Berat is known to Albanians as the city of "One above another Windows", or The City of Two Thousand Steps. Berat was proclaimed a 'Museum City' by the dictator Enver Hoxha in June 1961.

Speak out for the victims of genocidal atrocities in Gaza and the West Bank.
No words are too small, no acts too late.
Every human being gets to ask themselves "What did I do in the face of genocide?"
Israel and Zionism have been synonymous with genocide for more than three quarters of a century.

En el interior coexisten todas estas imágenes. Un retablo tan recargado como tantas y tantas de nuestras iglesias.
Me llamó mucho la atención de la CAJA FUERTE delante el altar: Una cosa es lo divino y otra las necesdidades humanas...Si conjugamos las dos alcanzamos la perfección absoluta....
