"It´s coexistence or no existence." Bertrand Russell.
When I visited Singapore for the first time, it surprised me how in this corner of the world, different cultures had been able to coexist, developing the best of themselves, to create one of the richest countries in the world today. A modern city that at the same time had known how to respect certain neighborhoods that still preserve their own cultural spirit. In few cities of the world one can pass from the skyscrapers to the British colonial buildings, and from Chinatown to Little India and then to the Muslim quarter, in such short distances.
When the British took control of Singapore in 1819, they reached an agreement with the Sultan of Johor, so that he could maintain his residence in the Kampong Glam neighborhood, around which Malaysian merchants and other Muslims also settled. That is why here a mosque was built and over the years underwent modifications to be adapted to the growing Muslim population, to the point that in 1924 it was decided to build a new one, which was completed 4 years later, and remains nowadays as the main monument of the neighborhood.
To photograph it, it is much better to take advantage of the sunrise, since the surrounding streets and the access to the mosque remain empty, but the beautiful lights are still on and give even more charm to its minarets and golden domes.

"Es coexistencia o no existencia". Bertrand Russell.
Cuando visité Singapur por primera vez, me sorprendió como en este rincón del mundo, diferentes culturas habían sido capaces de coexistir desarrollando lo mejor de sí, para crear uno de los países más ricos del mundo actualmente. Una ciudad moderna que al mismo tiempo había sabido respetar ciertos barrios que conservan aún un espíritu cultural propio. En pocas ciudades del mundo se puede pasar de los rascacielos a edificios coloniales británicos, y de Chinatown a Little India y luego al barrio musulmán, en distancias tan cortas.
Cuando los británicos se hicieron con el control de Singapur en 1819, llegaron a un acuerdo con el sultán de Johor, para que pudiera mantener en el barrio de Kampong Glam su residencia, en torno a la cual se instalaron también mercantes malayos y otros musulmanes. Es por ello que aquí se construyó una mezquita, que con el paso de los años sufrió modificaciones para adecuarse a la creciente población musulmana, hasta el punto de que en 1924 se decidió construir una nueva, la cual se terminó 4 años después, y permanece hoy en día como el principal monumento del barrio.
Para fotografiarla es mucho mejor aprovechar el amanecer, ya que las calles circundantes y el acceso a la mezquita permanecen vacíos, pero se mantienen encendidas las bonitas luces que dan aún más encanto a sus minaretes y cúpulas doradas.
For 119 pictures in 2019, this represents the theme "Coexisting". Who would have thought turkey enchiladas with a pumpkin cream sauce, and smothered in cheese, could coexist with brocolli. Or that turkey could coexist with pumpkin sauce in the same dish. The filling is roasted turkey thigh meat, roasted and chopped poblano chiles, and onion. The enchilada sauce is just pureed pumpkin and heavy cream. The flavor is a little subtle, but the entire dish is delicious. Although I probably did overdo it with the cheese topping.

This one needs to be fact-checked. I don't believe dinosaurs and horses coexisted.

I still have quite a few photographs to upload from my Scottish trip this spring, so here's my first photograph of a Hooded Crow photographed in Britain. Hooded Crow and Carrion Crow have only recently been treated as separate species, as opposed to subspecies. But they are so closely related that they cannot coexist. So right across Europe there is a line like interlocking jigsaw pieces with Carrion Crow on one side and Hooded Crow on the other. This same line passes across northern Scotland with Hooded Crows in the Highlands and Islands, and Carrion Crows elsewhere. Hooded Crows are also found in the Isle of Man and the island of Ireland too, though of course wandering individuals are occasionally seen in the range of the other species. The reason for treating them as different species came from Italy where researchers discovered that where the two forms meet, they choose their own type to mate with far more frequently than you'd expect by chance. Hybrid Hooded/Carrion Crows have been known in Britain too, with great frequency in Scotland where their ranges meet. I photographed this pure-bred Hooded Crow on the Isle of Skye but I did not find them easy photographic subjects as they tended to be very wary whenever I pointed a camera at them. Being shot at has made them rather distrusting of humans.

During our journey from Bhutan to the Maldives, we made a brief stopover in Bangkok for 48 hours. Our main objective was to indulge in some of Thailand's renowned cuisine. Apart from culinary delights, we also had a couple of must-see sights on our itinerary for Bangkok. Our first stop was the Maeklong Railway Market, also known as the "umbrella pulldown market." Located atop an active railway line, this unique market witnesses trains passing through a few times a day. It's fascinating to see hundreds of people shopping in the market while the stalls are set up on the railway line. As the train approaches, the market folds away, making way for the train to pass through. And within seconds, as the train disappears, the market springs back into action, bustling with activity once again - Maeklong Railway Market, Samut Songkhram region, Thailand
Come on people... just live and let live. It ain't that hard.

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.

A guanaco and a penguin from Magellano coexist peacefully, taking an interest in their own problems.
Was out riding my bicycle this morning beneath a brilliant blue sky on a crisp Sunday morning. The sky was startlingly clear and the bright sunshine warmed both my skin and should with a feeling of hope and optimism. Yet I was struck by the contrast of the utter hellscape at ground level. As far as the eye could see was nothing but the twisted remains of last year's crop fields. The remaining cornstalks jutting up like old bones...a desaturated field of visual disharmony. Sort of a crash site of nature. All of this about to give way to the verdant greens of the impending growing season. Yet in these moments the new and old coexist. The cycle of life grinds on.
this time Vivian Maier style 😄

This photographic story of mine, with descriptive text, was created in Novara di Sicilia (ME) on August 15th of this year, on the occasion of a suggestive traditional religious and popular celebration, that of the Apotheosis of the Assumption (in Heaven), which takes place every 5 years, however due to the bans issued during the Covid, it was not celebrated in 2020, so this celebration had not been held for 10 years. I would like to tell the origins of this ancient tradition, which began with the arrival of the Normans in Sicily around the year 1000. At that time, Southern Italy was a coexistence of peoples, religions, and languages, the most diverse. The majority were the Lombards. There were also the Greeks, with the Greek population of Calabria and Salento (i.e., the Byzantines), with the Greek Church based in Constantinople. It was not a foreign Byzantine domination, but rather the people of those lands for centuries. Then there were the Arabs who had conquered Sicily, and even under the Arabs in Sicily, Greeks, Latins, and Jews coexisted; the populations coexisted with each other, and the leaders waged war against each other. Then, in southern Italy, the Normans arrived, seeking adventure and fortune. They were French from Northern France, and the descendants of the Vikings from Scandinavia. the Norman Roger 1st of Sicily (known as the Great Count Roger) together with his brother, conquered Puglia, Calabria, subsequently they allied themselves with an Arab emir reigning in Sicily, who asked them for help because he was fighting against another Arab emir present in Sicily, Roger landed in Messina in February 1061 managing to occupy the eastern part of Sicily, thirty years after his landing in Sicily, in 1091 Roger could say he was master of all of Sicily; Ancient literature credits Great Count Roger with initiating the celebrations of the Assumption, whose banner featured the image of the Our Lady Ascending to Heaven. Under his patronage, the process of "re-Christianization" of the island began. Devotion to the Virgin was strengthened in the territory of Novara di Sicilia in the 12th century with the arrival of the French abbot Hugh (also proclaimed a saint), sent to Sicily by Bernard of Clairvaux, of the Cistercian Order, which has the figure of the Assumption as a cornerstone of its religious institution. This celebration-feast has seen mixed fortunes. Before the Second World War, the float with the Assumption was carried in procession along with approximately 15 floats of various saints. After that conflict, the bishop banned carrying statues of saints alongside the Assumption. With the Great Jubilee of 2000, the ancient tradition was revived with the Saints preceding the Assumption's exit. They arrive in the town's main square, forming a semicircle, awaiting the arrival of the Assumption, which in the meantime has been carried in procession through the town's streets. Upon her return to the square around midnight, the Assumption of Mary is reunited with all the Saints, giving life to the supreme expression of the Apotheosis of Mary Assumed into Heaven, amidst songs, litanies, and prayers. This, in short, is a great, heartfelt procession that begins in the afternoon and continues late into the night, with the many floats of saints preceding that of the Assumption of Mary, characterized by having their arms raised high, and the presence of more than 150 candles being lit. The official logo of the Solemn Apotheosis of the Assumption encloses the presence of the 15 saints as if they were 15 roses, arranged in a crown around the monogram "M - A" (Our Lady Ascending to Heaven): for Dante Alighieri in the Divine Comedy the "Mystical Rose" is "the Love of God", a symbol of divine perfection, peace, and the beauty of Paradise, linked to the figure of Mary, the Mystical Rose par excellence. Thus the Apotheosis is nothing other than the Embrace that God, through Mary and the Saints, addresses to all men.

Questo mio racconto fotografico, con testo descrittivo, è stato realizzato a Novara di Sicilia (ME) il 15 di agosto di quest’anno, in occasione di una suggestiva celebrazione tradizionale religiosa e popolare, quella della Apoteosi dell’Assunta (in Cielo), che prende vita ogni 5 anni, purtuttavia causa i divieti emanati durante il covid, nel 2020 non venne celebrata, sicchè questa celebrazione era da 10 anni che non veniva svolta. Desidero raccontare le origini di questa antica tradizione, essa nasce con l’arrivo dei Normanni in Sicilia attorno all’Anno Mille, in quel periodo nell’Italia Meridionale c’era una convivenza di popoli, religioni, lingue, le più diverse, la maggioranza era data dai Longobardi, c’erano i Greci, con la popolazione greca della Calabria, del Salento (ovvero i Bizantini) con la Chiesa Greca che faceva capo a Costantinopoli, non era una dominazione bizantina straniera, ma erano i popoli di quelle terre da secoli, poi c'erano gli Arabi che avevano conquistato la Sicilia, ed anche sotto gli arabi in Sicilia, convivenao Greci, Latini, Ebrei, le popolazioni convivevano tra loro, erano i capi che si facevano la guerra tra di loro; poi nel meridione d’Italia arrivarono i Normanni, in cerca di avventura e di fortuna, essi erano francesi della Francia del Nord, essi erano i discendenti dei Vichinghi provenienti dalla Scandinavia; il Normanno Ruggero 1° di Sicilia (detto il Gran Conte Ruggero) insieme al fratello, conquista la Puglia, la Calabria, successivamente si allearono con un emiro arabo regnante in Sicilia, che chiedeva loro aiuto perché in lotta contro un altro emiro arabo presente in Sicilia, Ruggero sbarcò a Messina nel febbraio del 1061 riuscendo ad occupare la parte orientale della Sicilia, dopo trent'anni dal suo sbarco in Sicilia, nel 1091 Ruggero poté dirsi padrone di tutta la Sicilia; l’antica letteratura indica il Gran Conte Ruggero promotore dei festeggiamenti dell’Assunta, sul cui stendardo campeggiava l’immagine dell’Assunta, sotto la cui protezione ebbe inizio il processo di “ricristianizzazione” dell’isola, devozione verso la Vergine che si rafforza nel territorio di Novara di Sicilia nel XII secolo con l’arrivo dell’abate francese Ugo (anch’egli proclamato Santo), inviato in Sicilia da Bernardo di Chiaravalle, dell’Ordine Cistercense, che ha come pilastro portante la figura dell’Assunta nella sua istituzione religiosa. Questa celebrazione-festa ha visto alterne fortune, prima del secondo conflitto mondiale la vara con l’Assunta veniva portata in processione assieme a circa 15 vare di diversi santi, dopo tale conflitto ci fu il divieto vescovile di portare le statue dei santi insieme all’Assunta; col Grande Giubileo del 2000 l’antica tradizione riprese vita coi Santi che precedono l’uscita dell’Assunta, giungendo nella piazza principale del paese, disponendosi a semicerchio, aspettando l’arrivo dell’Assunta che nel frattempo è stata condotta in processione nelle vie del paese, al suo rientro in piazza verso mezzanotte Maria Assunta si ricongiunge con tutti i Santi, dando vita alla massima espressione dell’Apoteosi di Maria Assunta in Cielo, tra canti, litanie e preghiere. Questa, in sintesi, è una grande, sentita, processione che inizia nel pomeriggio, per proseguire a notte fonda, con le tante vare di santi che precedono quella di Maria Assunta, caratterizzata dall'avere le braccia rivolte in alto, e la presenza di più di 150 candele che vengono accese. Il logo ufficiale della Solenne Apoteosi dell’Assunta racchiude la presenza dei 15 santi come fossero 15 rose, disposte a corona attorno al monogramma “M – A” (Madonna Assunta): per Dante Alighieri nella Divina Commedia la “Rosa Mistica” è “l’Amore di Dio”, simbolo della perfezione divina, pace, bellezza del Paradiso, collegata alla figura di Maria, Rosa Mistica per eccellenza, ecco che l’Apoteosi altro non è che l’Abbraccio che Dio, tramite Maria ed i Santi, rivolge a tutti gli uomini.

🇹🇿 Imagina estar a pocos metros de un ser tan poderoso. Tanzania es mucho más que un destino para un safari, es un lugar donde aprender cómo la gente convive con la fauna salvaje. Algo tan importante que olvidamos demasiadas veces en el primer mundo... Se puede vivir compartiendo terrenos, pero hay que querer adaptarse a ello. Una tarea esencial para progresar y cuidar del entorno, algo que repercute en la salud de todos nosotros: los humanos.
Ir con GoThombi de viaje es más que ver animales o sacarles fotos, es comprender esta necesidad y ver ejemplos de que de verdad se puede hacer.
Por cierto, ¿Te has dado cuenta de que es un león? Echando la siesta, y taaaan "esponjoso"
_________________
🇹🇿 Imagine being within metres of such a powerful being. Tanzania is much more than a safari destination, it is a place to learn how people live with wildlife. Something so important that we forget all too often in the first world... You can live sharing land, but you have to be willing to adapt to it. An essential task to progress and take care of the environment, something that has an impact on the health of all of us: humans.
Going on a trip with GoThombi is more than just seeing animals or taking photos of them, it is understanding this need and seeing examples of what can really be done.
By the way, did you notice that it's a lion? Having a nap, and soooo "fluffy"

I think I'm drowning
Asphyxiated
I want to break the spell
That you've created
You're something beautiful
A contradiction
I want to play the game
I want the friction
You will be
The death of me
Yeah, you will be
The death of me
Bury it
I won't let you bury it
I won't let you smother it
I won't let you murder it
Our time is running out
And our time is running out
You can't push it underground
We can't stop it screaming out
I wanted freedom
But I'm restricted
I tried to give you up
But I'm addicted
Now that you know I'm trapped
Sense of elation
You'll never dream of breaking this fixation
You will squeeze the life out of me
Bury it
I won't let you bury it
I won't let you smother it
I won't let you murder it
Our time is running out
And our time is running out
You can't push it underground
We can't stop it screaming out
How did it come to this
You will suck the life out of me
Bury it
I won't let you bury it
I won't let you smother it
I won't let you murder it
Our time is running out
And our time is running out
You can't push it underground
We can't stop it screaming out
How did it come to this

NIGHT GAMES WITH LIGHT
When light and darkness coexist in symbiosis.
During the time of the year when the night lasts longer than the day, those of us who want to continue enjoying our photo-addiction ally ourselves with the night and look for the lights that cohabit with it.
In my case, accustomed to photograph the reflections during the day in the fishing port, when the night came, the luminous reflections of the streetlights on the dark sea caught my attention, and I began to explore the new situation some years ago.
Some images have been obtained using the ICM technique, others by slow shutter speed and taking advantage of the movement of the water. Other times the combination of camera and water movements produces surprising effects. What is actually seen is the trail or trail of light floating on the water.
JUEGOS NOCTURNOS CON LA LUZ
Cuando la luz y la oscuridad conviven en simbiosis.
Durante la época del año en que la noche dura más que el día quienes queremos seguir disfrutando de nuestra foto-adicción nos aliamos con la noche y buscamos las luces que cohabitan con ella.
En mi caso, acostumbrado a fotografiar los reflejos de día en el puerto pesquero, al llegar la noche me llamaron la atención los reflejos luminosos de las farolas sobre el mar oscuro, y empencé a explorar la nueva situación hace algunos años.
Algunas imágenes han sido conseguidas mediante la técnica ICM, otras mediante velocidad baja de obturador y aprovechando el movimiento del agua. Otras veces la combinación de movimientos (el de la cámara y el del agua) produce efectos también sorprendentes. Lo que en realidad se ve es el rastro o estela de luz flotando sobre el agua.

Can AI "photos" coexist with the "traditional" imagery? Who are we kidding. Can't imagine a Hollywood movie without AI. too many to mention
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.
