The majority of the tourists who visit Greece is drawn there by the crystalline waters of the seas and the splendid vestiges of its ancient culture, and probably know little about the variety and the abundance of the flora of this country, which counts an astonishing number of species-more than 6,000-plus subspecies and varieties. In proportion to its size, Greece has more species of flowers than does any other European country or the United States. The plenteousness of Hellenic flora is the result of a number of factors, first among which the particular geographical position of the country. Together with Greece's climatic conditions, it permitted the land to receive contributions from other nearby floras, above all those of central Europe and Anatolia.
My contribution for this week's theme "symmetry", for the Swedish photo group Fotosondag.
En boll skulle man kunna se som en av urtyperna av symmetri. Så det fick helt enkelt bli en sån till veckans temabild. Att den till råga på allt blev fotad på vårt underbara landställe på Rådmansö, under en sagolikt härlig Kristi Himmelsfärdshelg, är bara en ren bonus. :)
I'm finally getting around to post my contribution to this epic collab I was privileged to be a part of this past year. Working with my co-collaborators @ben @detroitika @uncle_sammy_poo @tacobricks @si_mocs @legofin @renobricks_ @brickbuilt.replicas was a joy. I'd been wanting to get into the LEGO Halo MOC building community for a while and this was an incredible way to get started in it. There's a long history of amazing Halo builds, but not a lot in recent years, so bringing back the big Halo collabs at BFVA has been special, joining in to what Ben, Tanner, Sam, and Daniel started with Zeta Halo last year. We were honored to be sponsored by @brickwarriors and @eclipsegrafx. Vic and his team worked very hard to design unreal brand new weapons and UNSC Marine figs for this collab.
My section was the end cap to the right side of the build, featuring an endless Forerunner chasm via the use of 2 large mirrors to simulate depth. The public seemed to enjoy that visual feature at BFVA, which was gratifying for me as I have always wanted to do some mirror trickery in a build after seeing some other more talented builders than I use them. I also built a Falcon and 2 Warthogs for the collab, and had a fun time building trees with help from many buddies in our collab group and others, including @tk_1776 @iterative_bricks @masked_builder (thanks for the help guys ❤️)

Facts:
The male Eastern Bluebird displays at his nest cavity to attract a female. He brings nest material to the hole, goes in and out, and waves his wings while perched above it. That is pretty much his contribution to nest building; only the female Eastern Bluebird builds the nest and incubates the eggs.
Eastern Bluebirds typically have more than one successful brood per year. Young produced in early nests usually leave their parents in summer, but young from later nests frequently stay with their parents over the winter.
Eastern Bluebirds occur across eastern North America and south as far as Nicaragua. Birds that live farther north and in the west of the range tend to lay more eggs than eastern and southern birds.
Eastern Bluebirds eat mostly insects, wild fruit and berries. Occasionally, Eastern Bluebirds have also been observed capturing and eating larger prey items such as shrews, salamanders, snakes, lizards and tree frogs.
The oldest recorded Eastern Bluebird was 10 years 5 months old.

La ópera china es el nombre que recibe el teatro tradicional en China. El director Wang Yida, definió el teatro chino como "arte que sintetiza actuación, acrobacia, artes marciales, bellas artes, música y poesía".1
Se remonta a la dinastía Tang con el Emperador Xuanzong (712-755), fundador del "Jardín de los Perales" (梨园), la primera compañía documentada en China, y casi exclusivamente al servicio de los emperadores.nota 1 Durante la dinastía Yuan (1279-1368), se introdujeron en la ópera las variedades como el Zaju (杂剧), con actuaciones basadas en esquemas de rima y personajes tipo: "Dan" (旦, femenino), "Sheng" (生, masculino) y "Chou" (丑, payaso). En el siglo XXI, las profesiones de la ópera son todavía llamadas Disciplinas del Jardín de los Perales (梨园子弟).
es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ópera_china
La Ópera de Pekín (en chino: 京剧 jīngjù o 京戏 jīngxì), es una clase de Ópera China que se inició a mediados del siglo XIX y que se hizo extremadamente popular entre la corte de la dinastía Qing. Está considerada como una de las máximas expresiones de la cultura de China.
El 16 de noviembre de 2010, la Unesco declaró la Ópera de Pekín como Patrimonio Cultural Inmaterial de la Humanidad1
La ópera de Pekín tiene cuatro tipos diferentes de personajes, tres masculinos y uno femenino:
Jing: Personaje masculino dotado de una gran fuerza de voluntad. Se le reconoce con facilidad ya que
siempre lleva un maquillaje excesivo.
Sheng: Personaje masculino que presenta tres variantes diferentes; el Sheng Guerrero, el Sheng joven y el Sheng mayor.
Ch’ou: Personaje masculino. Es el bufón de la obra.
Tan: Personaje femenino. Este personaje tiene también distintas variantes: Tan mayor, Tan flor (una joven alegre y un tanto descarada), Tan verde (mujer joven y de gran rectitud) y Tan del caballo y la espada (una mujer que domina tan bien la caligrafía como el arte de la guerra).
Es importante también el color del vestuario que utilizan los actores. Así el color negro representa un carácter atrevido; el blanco sirve para representar a una persona mentirosa; el azul indica a un personaje frío y calculador; y el rojo se utiliza para personajes valientes y leales. Los colores dorados y plateados se utilizan para representar a dioses.
Los argumentos de la ópera de Pekín son muy variados y van desde las intrigas de la corte hasta hazañas militares. Importa tanto la música como los gestos, las acrobacias y los cantos. Algunas representaciones pueden durar hasta seis horas.

Yueju Opera (Chinese: 越剧),is a Chinese opera popular in China. It originated in Shengxian County(namely Shengzhou). The word "Yue" in Chinese means Zhejiang province and the regions around it. "ju" means (Chinese) opera. At present, Yueju Opera is the second most popular opera in China, after the Beijing Opera.
simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yueju_Opera
Traditional Chinese opera (Chinese: 戲曲; pinyin: xìqǔ; Jyutping: hei3 kuk1), or Xiqu, is a popular form of drama and musical theatre in China with roots going back to the early periods in China. It is a composite performance art that is an amalgamation of various art forms that existed in ancient China, and evolved gradually over more than a thousand years, reaching its mature form in the 13th century during the Song Dynasty. Early forms of Chinese theater are simple, but over time they incorporated various art forms, such as music, song and dance, martial arts, acrobatics, as well as literary art forms to become traditional Chinese opera.[1]
There are numerous regional branches of traditional Chinese opera, including the Beijing opera, Shaoxing opera, Cantonese opera and kunqu and Lvju.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chinese_opera
Peking opera, or Beijing opera (Chinese: 京剧; pinyin: Jīngjù), is a form of Chinese opera which combines music, vocal performance, mime, dance and acrobatics. It arose in the late 18th century and became fully developed and recognized by the mid-19th century.[1] The form was extremely popular in the Qing dynasty court and has come to be regarded as one of the cultural treasures of China.[2] Major performance troupes are based in Beijing and Tianjin in the north and Shanghai in the south.[3] The art form is also preserved in Taiwan (Republic of China), where it is known as Guójù (traditional Chinese: 國劇; simplified Chinese: 国剧; "National theatre"). It has also spread to other countries such as the United States and Japan.[4]
The roles on the Peking Opera stage fall into four major roles-Sheng (生), Dan (旦), Jing (净), Chou (丑).[44]
Sheng (生): refer to men, divided into Laosheng (老生)，Xiaosheng (小生)，Wusheng (武生)
Dan (旦): refer to women, divided into Zhengdan (正旦), Laodan (老旦), Huadan (花旦), Wudan (武旦), Daomadan (刀马旦)
Jing (净): refer to painted-face role, know popularly as Hualian, divided into Zhengjing (正净), Fujing (副净), Wujing (武净), Maojing (毛净)
Chou (丑): refer to painted-face role, know popularly as Xiao hualian, divided into Wenchou (文丑), Wuchou (武丑), Nüchou (女丑)
The Dan (旦) refers to any female role in Peking opera. Dan roles were originally divided into five subtypes. Old women were played by laodan, martial women were wudan, young female warriors were daomadan, virtuous and elite women were qingyi, and vivacious and unmarried women were huadan. One of Mei Lanfang's most important contributions to Peking opera was in pioneering a sixth type of role, the huashan. This role type combines the status of the qingyi with the sensuality of the huadan.[54] A troupe will have a young Dan to play main roles, as well as an older Dan for secondary parts.[49] Four examples of famous Dans are Mei Lanfang, Cheng Yanqiu, Shang Xiaoyun, and Xun Huisheng.[55] In the early years of Peking opera, all Dan roles were played by men. Wei Changsheng, a male Dan performer in the Qing court, developed the cai qiao, or "false foot" technique, to simulate the bound feet of women and the characteristic gait that resulted from the practice. The ban on female performers also led to a controversial form of brothel, known as the xianggong tangzi, in which men paid to have sex with young boys dressed as females. Ironically, the performing skills taught to the youths employed in these brothels led many of them to become professional Dan later in life.[56]
Quickly rising through the ranks of the Galactic Knights,Alabrax P'aardal was given the rank of Lord and an army to command after the valor and dedication he showed at the Battle of the Six Scythes in 1287 P.L. Still regarded as one of the most formidable scythes-men of the galaxy, his unfortunate death at the hands of Sir Zavius Festal marked the end of the Ages of Chilvalry and the beginning of a more modern style of combat and knighthood.

This is part of my contribution to this year's Brick to the Past model, The Jacobite Risings: The Fight for Britain's Throne. Here we see another wee scene that depict a Jacobite camp. Jacobites did not carry proper tents like their government opponents, instead wrapping themselves in their plaids and huddling next to campfires.
The Jacobite Risings: The Fight for Britain’s Throne is a LEGO model of a series of uprisings, rebellions and wars that occurred predominantly in Scotland, but also spread into Ireland and England, between 1689 and 1746. Following the deposition of James II of England and VII of Scotland in the Glorious Revolution, the aims of the risings were to return the Stuart monarch, and later his descendants, to the thrones of England and Scotland (and after 1707, the Kingdom of Great Britain). They take their name from Jacobus, the Latin form of James.
While conflict broke out in 1689, 1715, and 1719, the most famous rising is probably the last, that of 1745. During the “Forty-five" Charles Edward Stuart, also known as the Young Pretender or Bonnie Prince Charlie, led an army from the Scottish Highlands as far south as Derby before retreating north to be decisively defeated at the Battle of Culloden in 1746. Culloden was the last pitched battle to be fought on British soil and marked the end of any serious attempt to restore the house of Stuart to the throne.
The Jacobite Risings: The Fight for Britain’s Throne is a Brick to the Past creation built by Dan Harris, James Pegrum, Simon Pickard, Tim Goddard and Steve Snasdell. It was unveiled for the first time at the Bricktastic in July 2017 and went on display again at The Great Western Brick Show in October. It is now on display at Stirling Castle until February 2nd 2018.

My contributions to the 2023 RogueOlympics, a build contest by the RogueBricks Community, with each week featuring a new topic and a part limit of just 101 pieces.
It was great fun again! Although there's a lot of fun events throughout the year, Rogue Olympics is probably my favourite build contest. There were quite a few new contributors this year with many beautiful entries and it’s always a joy to see the vastly different builds that people come up with for the often very broad topics. Big thanks to the organizers and all the other awesome contributors!
Unfortunately I didn't participate in every round. I just couldn't come up with something for week 6 and although I even finished my build for round 7 complete with ordered parts from BrickLink, I just couldn't get my photo idea to work out. I'm still satisfied with the entries I made, though, and afterall there's no pressure to participate every week.
Half of my builds were inspired by film and TV again. I really love the Sorcerer entry. Although it's probably less interesting technique-wise, I just feel a strong connection to it because of the film. I had it in the back of my head to build something for Sorcerer one day and I'm really satisfied with how the overall images turned out within the part limitation. From the more generic entries I really like how the rose garden turned out and maybe I can work Emily into next year's Rogue Olympics again, too. But it's also neat that I could get an Architecture model in for the last round. I'm probably least attached to the internet entry. Although I'm fine with how the build and photo worked out, I just don't feel a strong personal connection to it.
"At Presen (Temma Lowly)"
graphite and gesso on paper
8.5 x 11 inches
2023
Here is Nik Burkhart's contribution to the "Deposition: Drawn" project and upcoming exhibition opening on Valentine's Day, February 14, 4-6 pm in the Carlson Tower Gallery of North Park University, Chicago.
With Nik's piece there is more than meets the eye. Here's Nik's text:
I've attached my contribution to the project in response to your prompt. The title for this is "At Present (Temma Lowly)". I made this piece using Graphite and Gesso on Rives BFK Paper. I'm exploring the idea of additive and subtractive methods of image production over the course of the making of the piece. I was thinking about the growth of a tree and how each subsequent year it adds a growth ring as evidence of its persistence. At any given moment, all layers of its growth are present, even though you can only see the exterior layer.
For this drawing, I have projected and drawn multiple layers of the same image onto this paper to equal Temma's age (37) at the outset of this exhibition. I drew with graphite and subsequently covered it with a layer of gesso, then allowed it to dry and started again. There are 19 layers of graphite drawings and 18 layers of gesso built up on the paper. This process was fairly mundane in its repetition, but each layer (particularly the drawing phases) caused me to attend to different details in the overall image. Because of the way graphite interacts with gesso, applying the gesso layer wasn't a process of erasure, but rather a means of unifying the layers of drawings over the course of time as the graphite mixed with the paint and changed the tonal range of the image.
While the metaphor of tree and stump as relates to Temma are not exactly a perfect match, I felt a resonance that was worth exploring for this project. I feel unqualified to talk about disability as relates to this image, but recognize from your writing and artwork that in coming to terms with Temma's condition, you have simultaneously encountered profound loss and a deeper beauty through her presence in your life.
I am uncomfortable with the connotations of death brought to mind by the image of a stump in this context, but it bears acknowledgement. We typically measure the life of a tree (particularly a cherry tree like this stump) in terms of its ability to produce fruit, or at least the amount of time that it is alive and photosynthesizing. Assessing value in these terms neglects the reality that the physical presence of the wood/stump/matter continues to exist and age past the expiration of its standard utility. Said another way, measuring value (of anything or anyone) in terms of usability is a narrow view and a path to objectification or exploitation. Other connections can be drawn, but I think this gives context for my thoughts.
In thinking about a writing to be included with my piece, I have wrote the following poem.
this present
is as much

We honor Juneteenth by celebrating African Americans' contributions to our nation and supporting black-owned businesses. Here's to celebrating freedom today and every day!
"If there is just about anything to rejoice about, it can be my ancestors, African People who survived the atrocity and stain of slavery…I honor them these days with a guarantee that I will keep on to combat for your unexplored desires and hopes." — Viola Davis, Actress, Author, and Producer.
Raising awareness: What is Juneteenth?
Juneteenth, or Emancipation Day or Freedom Day, is an annual holiday celebrated in the United States on June 19. It commemorates the emancipation of enslaved African Americans and the end of slavery in the United States.
The history of Juneteenth dates back to June 19, 1865, when Union General Gordon Granger arrived in Galveston, Texas, and issued General Order No. 3, which declared that all slaves in Texas were free. This announcement came more than two years after President Abraham Lincoln's Emancipation Proclamation officially abolished slavery in the Confederate states on January 1, 1863. However, due to the minimal presence of Union troops in Texas, the proclamation was not effectively enforced until General Granger's arrival.
Juneteenth celebrations typically involve various activities, including parades, picnics, cookouts, family gatherings, music, dancing, and educational events. It is a time for African Americans and others to reflect on their ancestors' struggles and achievements and celebrate freedom and equal rights.
In recent years, there has been a growing movement to recognize Juneteenth as a national holiday in the United States. On June 17, 2021, it was officially declared a federal holiday when President Joe Biden signed the Juneteenth National Independence Day Act into law. This designation makes Juneteenth the 12th federal holiday and the first new one to be added since Martin Luther King Jr. Day in 1983.
The recognition of Juneteenth as a federal holiday is seen as an essential step in acknowledging the historical significance of emancipation and the ongoing struggle for racial equality in the United States. It provides an opportunity for all Americans to learn about and honor the contributions of African Americans to the nation's history and culture.

Otto Wagner, the pioneering architect of Vienna's Art Nouveau era, was the designer in charge of the construction of Stadtbahn, a rail service running underground in some sections, as an elevated system in others, around 1900.
He considered the project an important contribution to the appearance of the city and paid as much attention to the large structural elements, such as bridges and station buildings, as to the small details, such as railings, lamps, signs and inscriptions, realizing a total design concept in the construction.
The Stadtbahn lines were laid out to connect the main railroad terminals in the city and to improve Vienna's position as the capital of the empire. As a connecting system among the railroads, the lines were peripheral; important radial lines never went beyond the planning stages.

I'll close this week's contributions to Roll Film Week with a salute to the man who actually took the photos: my dad. Here he is with two of my sisters at Rockaway Beach in the New York borough of Queens, in the early 1950s.
Like the other photos I've posted this week, he shot this using his Kodak 3A "pocket" camera, which created huge (3.25 by 5.5 inch) negatives.
I'm guessing this is a self-timer selfie because of the low angle—it looks like he set the camera on the sand (or a beach towel!). Also, he's a little blurry, which says to me he sprinted into position after setting a self timer.
This photo also beautifully illustrates the wonderfully soft depth of field that the camera's huge film format and Schneider lens produced.
It's been fun sharing these treasures, which are part of an archive that I've been assembling for the last three years—currently at 2300 scans and growing.
