I have been to Jerusalem in May 2009 for the purpose of a scientific historical research that was devoted to international politics in the Middle East. After spending a month in Jerusalem, visiting archives and a library, historical places and strolling along the streets, I got acquainted with the unique atmosphere of this ancient city. Jerusalem is a city of three world religions, a city where everything seems familiar and native, it is very cozy and benevolent. For those who are familiar with biblical stories, the city seems to be an animated historical book, the city of kings and prophets, a city that has gone through history and conquered time itself. Jerusalem is situated on the hills, in the beginning of May the weather turned out to be quite cool, a strong spring wind blew from the desert, but then the hot Middle Eastern weather was established. The heat in Jerusalem is not like one in the plains or on the coast of the country, here it gets dark very early, which is unusual for the summer months in Russia. I lived in a small hotel in the center of the city and got the opportunity to go for a walk on the historical center and the Old City. The streets of the city are full of visitors and tourists from all over the world, many languages are heard here. Quiet and benevolent atmosphere. This city has a special soul. This is exactly the impression that Jerusalem made on me.
Living in Jerusalem, I visited other places in Israel: Galilee and the Mediterranean coast.

Sono stato a Gerusalemme nel maggio 2009 per lo scopo di una ricerca storica scientifica dedicata alla politica internazionale in Medio Oriente. Dopo aver trascorso un mese a Gerusalemme, visitando archivi e la biblioteca, luoghi storici, solamente passeggiando per le vie di Gerusalemme, ho conosciuto l'atmosfera unica di questa antica città. Gerusalemme è una città di tre religioni del mondo più diffuse, una città dove tutto sembra familiare e “nativo”, è molto accogliente e benevolo. Per chi ha familiarità con le storie bibliche, la città sembra essere un libro storico animato, la città dei re e dei profeti, una città che ha passato attraverso la storia e ha conquistato il tempo stesso. Gerusalemme è situata sulle colline, all'inizio di maggio il tempo si è rivelato piuttosto fresco, un forte vento primaverile ha soffiato dal deserto, ma poi è stato stabilito il caldo di Medio Oriente. Il caldo a Gerusalemme non è come quello nelle pianure o sulla costa del paese, in Israele fa buio molto presto, una cosa insolita per i mesi estivi in Russia. Ho vissuto in un piccolo hotel nel centro della città e ho avuto l'opportunità di fare molte passeggiate nel centro storico e nella Città Vecchia di Gerusalemme. Le strade della città sono piene di visitatori e turisti da tutto il mondo, qui si parlano molte lingue. Atmosfera tranquilla e benevola. Questa città ha un'anima speciale. Questa è una buonissima impressione che Gerusalemme ha lasciato su di me.
Vivendo a Gerusalemme, ho visitato altri luoghi in Israele: Galilea e la costa mediterranea.

1 Corinthians 1:17-19
17For Christ did not send me to baptize, but to preach the gospel—not with words of human wisdom, lest the cross of Christ be emptied of its power.
Christ the Wisdom and Power of God
18For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God. 19For it is written:
"I will destroy the wisdom of the wise;
the intelligence of the intelligent I will frustrate."
~
For those of us living in homes in which our family members do not know Christ, it is hard to say things that we know of God and to know that they will not understand it. We must continually be in prayer for our families our loved ones, do not back down from this no matter what the cost.

This temple was devoted to the god of the sea Poseidon, brother of Zeus. Who in a marine country as Greece had a very important place in the Pantheon.
There is a legend involving the hero Theseus about this place.
Before Theseas (or Theseus) leave for his quest in Crete against the mythical beast Minotaur, his father Aegeas (or Aegeus) orderer him and his crew to have black sails, if his son was dead, or white sails, if his son was alive, on their return.
As Theseas was on his return from Crete to Athens, he and his crew forgot to change the sails from black to white!
So Aegeas fell of the cliff of Cape Sounio, from his sorrow for the loss of his son.
So the sea between Greece and Asia minor took it's name from that man and named, still today, Aegean sea. :)
Beginning on 8 March, 2024, the auspicious day devoted to Lord Shiva, Maha-Shivaratri, was celebrated at the Shree Peetha Nilaya ashram with Paramahamsa Sri Vishwananda and over 1200+ participants. (Despite the challenge of sudden airline cancellations and rail strikes, they persevered and made it in time!)
A full day and night of activities began with the customary outside abhishekam to Hari Bhakta Poorna Shiva in the morning, and a lecture followed in the afternoon. In the evening, the main worship ceremonies consisted of four main abhishekams, which, Guruji explained in His satsang, represented the different aspects of Shiva associated with Vrindavan. Everyone was eligible to offer water for each of these four abhishekams, spaced throughout the night into the morning of the next day, and an energetic seva team organised and gave prasad to everyone after each abhishekam. The entire event was filled with vibrant kirtan to Shiva as well as to Krishna, the One on whom Lord Shiva meditates, and, despite staying up all night, the musicians, singers, and entire crowd kept the temple rocking. The final arati concluded the event after 6 am, after which vibhuti (holy ash) was distributed to everyone.

I recently had the pleasure of photographing the fascinating and talented Freddy, a man in his 70s who has devoted his life to the Mazda rotary engine. This unique and rare engine has always fascinated him, and he's become a true master of its intricacies. I used my beautiful Rolleiflex 2.8E twin lens reflex camera equipped with legendary Carl Ziess Planar 80mm f2.8 and shot some Kentmere 400 black and white medium format film and Leica M2 with summilux 35mm and Fuji 800 film to give the images a vintage feel and superb quality.
One of the most interesting things about the Mazda rotary engine is that it operates on a completely different principle than a traditional piston engine. Instead of pistons moving up and down in a cylinder, the rotary engine uses a triangular rotor that spins in an oval chamber. This results in a much smoother and more efficient engine, with a much higher power-to-weight ratio than a traditional piston engine. It's also incredibly compact and lightweight, making it a popular choice for sports cars and other performance vehicles.
Freddy has spent decades learning and modifying these engines, and his expertise is evident in the extensive collection of rotary parts that can be found all over his home. His passion for these engines extends to his impressive collection of Mazda RX7 sports cars, ranging from model FB to FD, and even an RX8. It's rare to find someone who is so knowledgeable about these engines, and Freddy is always happy to share his expertise with others who share his interest.
Despite his impressive knowledge and skill, Freddy is a humble and generous man. He frequently helps local rotary fans build their engines for a very affordable price, and he's always happy to spend time with others who share his love for these engines.
During my time with Freddy, he patiently explained the intricacies of rotary engines with a great sense of humor. He showed me some of his rotary builds and talked me through how they worked in small details. It was truly inspiring to see someone so passionate and skilled in their craft.
I was at a craft fair and helping out on one of the stalls. The toy dog was a raffle prize and this little girl just came up and took the toy in her arms. I was sitting in a low position waiting for a clear view of my subject. In the original image the background is very distracting so I removed it.

In France, during the decades of 1660-80 few painters had devoted themselves exclusively to portraiture, which was considered of secondary importance. The personages of the time liked if possible to be shown in action, for instance as victorious general, or at least surrounded by appropriate and allegorical embellishments. But after about 1685 several important artists appear who specialized in portraiture and who created a new fashion in this field. The essential novelty of their style is the introduction of the technique and patterns of the Flemish school, particularly of van Dyck.
The oldest of these painters was François de Troy who was soon outshone by two more brilliant painters of the same generation, Nicolas de Largillière and Hyacinthe Rigaud. Some of de Troy's portraits such as that of the lute-player Charles Mouton, suggest an awareness of Italian seventeenth-century portraiture, but his more typical portraits of women show him as an imitator of the free movement of the Flemish tradition.
Charles Mouton (c. 1626-c. 1699) was a French lutenist and composer. Mouton and his contemporary Jacques Gallot (c. 1625-c. 1695) are two of the last noteworthy French composers for the lute.

Handed down form generation to generation the religious art of Santeros is a vibrant and important as it was centuries ago. Before the first English colonists set sail for Jamestowne on 1607, Spanish settlers arrived in northern New Mexico bringing their heritage and culture to this new world -- traditions that still exist today. Devoted to the Saints looks closely at the history, role and inspirational value of the Santos, or little saints, carved from wood and revered through the ages.

KANAL - Centre Pompidou!
13 months of exhibitions and shows before conversion work begins
Before it becomes the largest cultural institution in Brussels, with 35,000 m2 devoted to artistic creation in all its forms, KANAL - Centre Pompidou proposes a unique cultural immersion in the buildings of the former Citroen garage.
Before conversion work begins, KANAL - Centre Pompidou will open its doors from May 2018 until June 2019 to allow the public to discover an exceptional cultural heritage, rich in history and preserved in its current state. Benefiting from the richness of the collections of the Centre Pompidou, the former Citroen garage will turn into a site hosting several exhibitions mixing visual arts, design, architecture, major installations and creations by Brussels-based artists, as well as a programme of performing-arts shows co-produced for this occasion with many of the city's cultural actors.
A future cultural hub
The ambition of KANAL - Centre Pompidou is to offer a centre of culture and exchange open to all, to put the creative scene of Brussels in the limelight, and to contribute to the capital's cultural appeal.
Driven by the Brussels-Capital Region, this ambitious project seeks to provide Brussels with a cultural hub favourable to the aura of the capital of Europe. In the context of a ten-year partnership with the Centre Pompidou, the future KANAL - Centre Pompidou will not only house a museum of modern and contemporary art, but also the rich collections of architecture and urbanism of the CIVA Foundation. It will also accommodate many public spaces with a range of functions, including several stages for the performing arts.
A wide-ranging programme
Events imagined in response to the identity of the site and its unique aesthetic qualities, but also its history
From 5 May 2018 until 10 June 2019, following a radically experimental approach, the former Citroen garage will turn into a platform open to a reflection on the stakes of the museum of the future. Curated by Bernard Blistene, the director of the Musee national d'art moderne, Centre Pompidou, a multidisciplinary programme will seek to fill the spaces that were recently emptied of their functions and left in their current state. Many of the proposals seek to echo the identity of the site, but also its human and social history, tangible across the different workshops and offices and in the different fittings of this vast complex.
Eager to integrate Kanal - Centre Pompidou in its context, the programme will let a vast audience have access, in one and the same venue, to a wide-ranging and unique cultural offer. The programme follows the rhythm of the Brussels cultural calendar, in partnership with, among others, Kunstenfestivaldesarts, BOZAR, Performatik Festival, Flagey, Kaaitheater and La Raffinerie (Charleroi Danse).
