Works of art are of an infinite solitude, and no means of approach is so useless as criticism. Only love can touch and hold them and be fair to them.
Nothing touches a work of art so little as words of criticism: they always result in more or less fortunate misunderstandings. Things aren't all so tangible and sayable as people would usually have us believe; most experiences are unsayable, they happen in a space that no word has ever entered, and more unsayable than all other things are works of art, those mysterious existences, whose life endures beside our own small, transitory life.
~ Rainer Maria Rilke, Letters To A Young Poet ~

The vision of the center of this mandala beleaguered me in the same night when I completed Kabeirô – and I even was told its name: Worlds within Worlds.
Instantly, I sensed a profound aversion to both the image and the name, and for about one week, I refused to start with the work on the mosaic.
Then, one sleepless night, I had another vision which was very weird: before I saw anything, I had the sensation that my body was a tremendous, overdimensioned black sphere which had a very small white sphere in its midpoint; not till then, I saw the image of the black sphere, but somehow two-dimensional (onyl the small white sphere in the center was three-dimensional), but I knew that my body – more precisely: my whole self – and the image were one and the same, and that something with it was quite wrong.
Then, after some frightening minutes or hours (I really don't know), another image arose: a white sphere, much smaller than the black one, and with a small black sphere in its middle. This white sphere was outside of my body, I only could see but not sense it, and the feeling of something quite wrong got stronger, and very scary.
The third image which arose after another frightening minutes or hours, was exactly the same I already had seen after I had completed Kabeirô: Taigitu, the symbol of life itself as well as the symbol of the polarity which forms the basis of everything in this wonderful and appalling world.
Not until then, when Taigitu arose, I understood what was wrong with the first two images: the black and the white sphere were meant to compose ONE sphere: a complete whole INSIDE myself.
On the following day, I started working on the mosaic, for I was completely aware of the NECESSITY of creating it. I just had one wish: that I was allowed to find a second name for the mandala which was concordant with my longing for staying integrated in the world of Greek mythology.
I worked on the mosaic from sunrise to sunset, and late in the night, I finally got to know the name I could welcome from the bottom of my heart: Kybele.
Kybele (English: Cybele), the great God mother of the mountain Ida (Latin: Magna Mater), was a goddess who originally was deified in Phrygien, together with her lover Attis, and later also in ancient Greece and the Roman Empire. The cult of Kybele and Attis was – similar as the cult of Mithras – a widespread mystery cult up to the Late Classic Period. The whole legend concerns apparently the gender dualism; it explains the origin of the world by an interaction of the male and the female element of the universe: the heavenly Attis must inseminate the mother earth Kybele with its blood so that the world can arise.
The mandala is not yet completed; I suppose that it's going to be quite huge and that I'll work on it for a couple of weeks, but I don't know definitely... – well, we will see. ;-)

get well soon!!!
When you walk through a storm
Hold your head up high
And don't be afraid of the dark
At the end of the storm
There's a golden sky
And the sweet silver song of a lark
Walk on through the wind
Walk on through the rain
Tho' your dreams be tossed and blown
Walk on, walk on
With hope in your heart
And you'll never walk alone

About The Pacific Ring of Fire
The Pacific Ring of Fire (or sometimes just the Ring of fire) is an area where large numbers of earthquakes and volcanic eruptions occur in the basin of the Pacific Ocean. In a 40,000 km horseshoe shape, it is associated with a nearly continuous series of oceanic trenches, volcanic arcs, and volcanic belts and/or plate movements. The Ring of Fire has 452 volcanoes and is home to over 75% of the world's active and dormant volcanoes. It is sometimes called the circum-Pacific belt or the circum-Pacific seismic belt.
About 90% of the world's earthquakes and 80% of the world's largest earthquakes occur along the Ring of Fire. The next most seismic region (5–6% of earthquakes and 17% of the world's largest earthquakes) is the Alpide belt, which extends from Java to Sumatra through the Himalayas, the Mediterranean, and out into the Atlantic. The Mid-Atlantic Ridge is the third most prominent earthquake belt.

SFRD 12246 on display at the Shafter Depot Museum, 150 Central Valley Hwy / CA 43 ~ Shafter, CA
Note - The Santa Fé Refrigerator Despatch [reporting mark SFRD] was a railroad refrigerator car line established as a subsidiary of the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fé Railway in 1884 to carry perishable commodities. Though the line started out with a mere 25 ventilated fruit cars and 8 ice-cooled refrigerator cars, by 1910 its roster had swollen to 6,055 total units [compared to the 8,100 units its largest competitor, the Pacific Fruit Express, operated].
As of 1929 the line was carrying some 43 percent of California's citrus crop, most of which travelled aboard its "Green Fruit Express" refrigerator car special. Some 100,000 produce loads were shipped from the fields of Arizona and California to East Coast markets each growing season.

SHAFTER DEPOT: This building originally located 4 blocks southeast of this site and was opened for use and dedicated October 11, 1917. Until it closed in 1978, this building served as Shafter’s gateway to the world as the Mail, Western Union Telegraph, Express, Freight and Rail passengers passed through it’s doors. The concern for preservation of this building resulted in the formation of the Shafter Historical Society in July of 1979. In March 1980, the society accepted the gift of the depot from the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fé Railway Co. and moved it to this site donated by the Harlan Wilson Family and by the S.A. Camp Ginning Co. with much public support, the society restored the building to it’s original format and dedicated it for many more years of service as the Shafter Museum October 9th, 1982.
This property has been placed on the National Register of Historic Places by the United States Department of Interior.

This is dedicated to my dear friend I met in South Africa, Gabi.
The tree is a very special tree and is known to the local Shaman for it's powers. Maria Khosa is a Shangaan shaman and highly respected in the area and holds ceremonies under this tree.
On 10th November 1991, a group of white South Africans (including Linda Tucker) became stranded at night in the open bush in Timbavati and became surrounded in the dark by a pride of angry lions looking for a kill. After several hours of the lions circling them and the growing fear that engulfed them, they had given up their fate to never seeing daylight again as the lions became more and more intense.
Eventually when they were close to death, out of the dark emerged a figure walking slowly towards them with a baby on her back and a child at her side. It was Maria and she walked straight through the pride of lions to the stranded people. She was in a trance and she calmed the lions which allowed one of the party to run back for help. A few years later, Linda had met with Maria and Maria (through an interpreter) had said that she had heard them calling and so talked to the lion's ancestors and they spoke to the lions to let her through safely.
Well there is much more to the story but this is a very condensed version!
There is much peace to be had around this area and you can sit under trees like this for hours with total relaxation. A feeling to treasure for me that you cannot photograph.
Orvieto Cathedral is a large 14th-century Roman Catholic cathedral dedicated to the Assumption of the Virgin Mary and situated in the town of Orvieto in Umbria, central Italy. Since 1986, the cathedral in Orvieto has been the episcopal seat of the former Diocese of Todi as well.
The building was constructed under the orders of Pope Urban IV to commemorate and provide a suitable home for the Corporal of Bolsena, the relic of miracle which is said to have occurred in 1263 in the nearby town of Bolsena, when a traveling priest who had doubts about the truth of transubstantiation found that his Host was bleeding so much that it stained the altar cloth. The cloth is now stored in the Chapel of the Corporal inside the cathedral.
Situated in a position dominating the town of Orvieto which sits perched on a volcanic plug, the cathedral's façade is a classic piece of religious construction, containing elements of design from the 14th to the 20th century, with a large rose window, golden mosaics and three huge bronze doors, while inside resides two frescoed chapels decorated by some of the best Italian painters of the period with images of Judgment Day. The cathedral has five bells, dating back to the Renaissance, tuned in E flat.
The construction of the cathedral lasted almost three centuries with the design and style evolving from Romanesque to Gothic as construction progressed. The flagstone of the cathedral was laid on 13 November 1290 by Pope Nicholas IV, and construction was entrusted to chief-mason (capomastro) Fra (Friar) Bevignate di Perugia (also called Fra Bevignate da Gubbio) using a design by Arnolfo di Cambio (the architect of the cathedral of Florence). The cathedral was initially designed as a Romanesque basilica with a nave and two side aisles. However, when Giovanni di Uguccione succeeded Fra Bevignate, the design was transformed into Italian Gothic forms.
Construction continued slowly until, in 1309, the Sienese sculptor and architect Lorenzo Maitani (universalis caput magister) was commissioned to work on the church and solve several issues concerning the load-bearing capabilities of the building, especially of the choir. He substantially changed the design and construction of the building, increasing the similarity of the building to Siena Cathedral. The architecture of both buildings sometimes is classified as a substyle of Gothic architecture: Siennese Gothic style.
Maitani strengthened the external walls with flying buttresses, which proved later to be useless. These buttresses were eventually included in the walls of the newly built transept chapels. He rebuilt the apse into a rectangular shape and added a large stained-glass quadrifore window. Starting in 1310 he created the current façade up to the level of the bronze statues of the symbols of the Evangelists. He also added much of the interior. He died in 1330, shortly before the completion of the cathedral, succeeded by his sons.
In 1347 Andrea Pisano, the former Master of the Works of the Florence Cathedral, was appointed the new Master of the Works. He was followed in 1359 by Andrea di Cione, better known as Orcagna. The mosaic decoration and the rose window are attributed to him. This once octagon-based design was replaced by Orcagna with the new 22-sided polygon. This type of geometrical base is uncommon in Gothic architecture. Due to the window's unusual shape, statistical and geometric techniques were used to achieve a symmetrical design.[2] The Sienese architect Antonio Federighi continued the decoration of the façade between 1451 and 1456, adding some Renaissance modules. In 1503 Michele Sanmicheli finished the central gable and added the right spire, which was finished by Antonio da Sangallo, Junior in 1534.
Final touches to the façade were made by Ippolito Scalza by adding the right pinnacle in 1590 and the left in 1605–1607. All in all, the succeeding architects kept a stylistic unity to the façade.
The Gothic façade of the Orvieto Cathedral is one of the great masterpieces of the Late Middle Ages. The three-gable design is attributed to Maitani, who apparently had been influenced for the façade by the Tuscan Gothic style of the Siena Cathedral by Giovanni Pisano (1287–1297) and the plan for façade of the Florence Cathedral by Arnolfo di Cambio (1294–1302).
The signature element is the golden frontage, which is decorated by large bas-reliefs and statues with the symbols (Angel, Ox, Lion, Eagle) of the Evangelists created by Maitani and collaborators (between 1325 and 1330) standing on the cornice above the sculptured panels on the piers. In 1352 Matteo di Ugolino da Bologna added the bronze Lamb of God above the central gable and the bronze statue of Saint Michael on top of the gable of the left entrance.
The bas-reliefs on the piers depict biblical stories from the Old and New Testament. These marbles from the fourteenth and fifteenth century are the collective and anonymous work of at least three or four masters with assistance of their workshops, It is assumed that Maitani must have worked on the reliefs on the first pier from the left, as work on the reliefs began before 1310. The installation of these marbles on the piers began in 1331. They depict from left to right:
stories of the Old Testament: Book of Genesis
the Tree of Jesse with scenes from the Old Testament with messianic prophesies of Redemption.
scenes from the New Testament with below Abraham sleeping: episodes from the lives of Jesus and Mary
Last Judgment: Book of Revelation
Above this decoration are glittering mosaics created between 1350 and 1390 after designs by artist Cesare Nebbia. These original pieces have been replaced and redesigned in the centuries since, particularly in 1484, 1713 and 1842. Most of these mosaic represent major scenes from the life of the Virgin Mary, from the "Nativity of Mary" in the lower right gable to the "Coronation of the Virgin Mary" in the topmost gable. One of these glassmakers is recorded as Fra Giovanni Leonardelli.
Central to the mosaics is the large rose window built by the sculptor and architect Orcagna between 1354 and 1380. In the niches above the rose window stand the twelve apostles, while in niches on both sides twelve Old Testament prophets are represented in pairs. Statues in niches are typical for French Gothic cathedrals, which may have been an influence. Eight statues have been attributed in the records to Nicola de Nuto. The spandrels around the rose window are decorated with mosaics representing the four Doctors of the Church. The frame of the rose window holds 52 carved heads, while the center of the rose window holds a carved head of the Christ.
The newest part of the decoration are the three bronze doors which give access to the entrance of the cathedral. These were finished in 1970 by the Sicilian sculptor Emilio Greco (1913–1995) depicting mercies from the life of Christ and are surmounted by a sculpture of the Madonna and Child created by Andrea Pisano in 1347.
The cathedral's side walls, in contrast to the façade, are built with alternating layers of local white travertine and blue-grey basalt stone.

Dedicated to you... My surfer boy. Where are you!? (another inside joke)
This song by The Lovin' Spoonfool has recently been covered by Starsailor... OMG what a cover... Seriously, go check it out!
"Darling be Home Soon"
Come
And talk of all the things we did today
Here
And laugh about our funny little ways
While we have a few minutes to breathe
Then I know that it's time you must leave
But darling be home soon
I couldn't bear to wait an extra minute if you dawdled
My darling be home soon
It's not just these few hours but I've been waiting since I toddled
For the great relief of having you to talk to
And now
A quarter of my life is almost past
I think I've come to see myself at last
And I see that the time spent confused
Was the time that I spent without you
And I feel myself in bloom
So darling be home soon
I couldn't bear to wait an extra minute if you dawdled
My darling be home soon
It's not just these few hours but I've been waiting since I toddled
For the great relief of having you to talk to
Go
And beat your crazy head against the sky
Try
And see beyond the houses and your eyes
It's ok to shoot the moon
So darling be home soon
I couldn't bear to wait an extra minute if you dawdled
My darling be home soon
It's not just these few hours but I've been waiting since I toddled
For the great relief of having you to talk to

Excerpt from www.aab.gov.hk/filemanager/aab/en/content_4/202406_N248_E...:
Tak Wing Pawn Shop
The building at No. 72 Des Voeux Road Central is four-storey high. It is a typical verandah-type shophouse where the front façade projects over the pavement and is supported by two columns to form a covered walkway. It is easily identifiable by the five plastered plaques bearing the Chinese name“德榮大押” on the front façade facing Des Voeux Road Central and the side elevation facing Man Yee Lane (萬宜里). The wall of the side elevation is finished with plaster marked with faux horizontal joint lines. There are altogether 15 metal-framed windows on the side elevation, with one row of four situated slightly higher than the others, which are believed to be the windows for the internal staircase. On the ground floor at the rear elevation is an enclosed backyard. A flagpole used to sit on a short stepped base on the left-hand side of the roof, but it was removed sometime between 1980s and 1990s and only the base remains now.
The building is situated at the intersection of Des Voeux Road Central and Man Yee Lane. Its location on the corner provides a side entrance, catering to customers who wish to avoid being seen entering the pawnshop from the main street.
The unique setting and some iconic features of a traditional pawnshop can still be seen inside the shop on the ground floor today. The main hall features a wooden “shy screen”(遮醜板), in an L-shape, blocking the view inside from the main door and side entrance to protect customers’ privacy. Behind the screen is a high counter that divides the front and back of the shop, where the pawnbroker serves customers. The height of the counter allows the pawnbroker to have a full view of the shop to ensure security. However, both the wooden screen and the finishes of the high counter are relatively new, following recent renovations carried out on the ground floor.
Security is a prime concern for this building, as evidenced by the verandahs on the upper floors, all of which are fitted with green metal grills to safeguard the pawnshop from burglars. Of particular interest are the coin motifs along the bottom of the metal grills, adding some decorative details to the functional design of the building.
The original built form of the building, including the footprint and the verandahs with their supporting columns, has been retained. Various renovations have been carried out over the years on both the exterior and interior of the building on the ground floor, such as the supporting columns and all the walls have been refurbished with new stone tiles and the floor has been laid with new modern tiles.
The changes seem to be mainly confined to the ground floor, whereas the exterior of the upper floors has remained intact. The only exception is that the figure “1940” that was previously painted on the roof parapet has now been removed. Overall, the building has been kept in a generally authentic condition in terms of its built form and original appearance. The building is an example of traditional pawnshop occupying an entire pre-war shophouse. The ground floor still opens for business, while the upper floors, which were previously used to store large pawned items, seem to be vacant. Pre-war shophouses that are entirely dedicated to a single pawnshop are becoming increasingly rare in Hong Kong as a result of urban development.

During a bike tour I saw this wall. But it was to empty - even for my minimalistic soul.
So I photographed my saddle in front of the wall.
At least me, I'm satisified.
Dedicated to my contact ecco9494 and her wonderful pictures taken on the Staten Island Ferry.
Since I first took the Staten Island Ferry to get to Manhattan I wanted to get a good picture of the new Whitehall Ferry Terminal (opened in 2005) with some of the skyscrapers of Manhattan in the background. This is the first one I really like (thanks to the Sigma 10-20mm).
