La nova geganta ha estat dissenyada amb un estricte rigor històric, seguint les referències dels gravats de l’època i l’assessorament d’experts com l’historiador Francesc Riart, de la Coronela de Barcelona. La figura ha nascut gràcies a en Jordi Grau al Taller el Drac Petit de Terrassa i el vestuari ha estat elaborat per l’experta en indumentària històrica Goretti Puente.

Agustina d’Urríes ballarà amb els seu marit en actes puntuals i protocol·laris, tant a Barcelona com a tot Catalunya. Els acompanyarà la seva dansa, ‘La marxa de les reials esquadres catalanes’, una melodia arranjada per Lluís Giménez. El gegant del Tricentenari , Josep Galcerán de Pinós, va ser un personatge molt influent a la Barcelona de 1700 i va estar al capdavant de la defensa de la ciutat durant el setge borbònic. Al territori de Nou Barris posseïa la coneguda Torre del Baró, que, precisament com a càstig, Felip V va ordenar destruir després de la derrota de l’11 de setembre.

I used my Lladro figurine and a small section of a static feather duster to get this effect for Macro Mondays "double exposure" HMM :-)

Looks like we get about another week of tranquil weather before winter settles into the area. Looking forward to some snow! Happy Friday!

I'm trying to get a handle on processing techniques to bring out the real feel of the moment.

I think that since all our raw files need processes applied, it means all our work is essentially "impressionism" at the very least. Still, I'd like to be able to get it "accurate" first, before applying alterations for an effect,

This presentation, seems closer to what it felt and looked like when standing there. I'd be interested in anyone's thoughts on the relative results of these two processing approaches.

Thanks for looking, again..

Thank you all so much for your wonderful words, awards, and the group invites. I truly do appreciate them all!♥

"A ripple effect occurs when an initial disturbance to a system propagates outward to disturb an increasingly larger portion of the system, like ripples expanding across the water when an object is dropped into it."

This is not just a duck in a pond at sunset. It is a symbol of a phenomenon that we have all experienced directly in 2020. At one level the COVID-19 virus spread from one part of the world to everywhere very quickly like ripples on a pond. But not just the virus. The follow on effects of lock downs, loss of freedoms, jobs, security, pressure on medical systems, collapsing economies, all point to the ripple effect.

But ripple effects are not all bad either. In fact the same principle can lead to rapid solutions and even the healing of the world's woes. If we can find a way to create positive solutions to enhance the eco-system of our planet things can get better. But the choice is ours.

This is the Butterfly, a tower that is almost completed in downtown Vancouver. I couldn't get too near it as there was still a construction fence around it. Designed by Bing Thom (now Revery Architecture).

Here is a link to the website, showing what the entire building will look like when completed. westbankcorp.com/body-of-work/the-butterfly

The image captures a realistic scene, but its intense blue-gray tones and hazy effect deviate from its objective documentary nature, creating a surreal or poetic atmosphere.

The solitary figure and desolate scene in the photograph create a strong subjective mood, leaving the viewer with a sense of mystery, loneliness, or provocation, echoing the emphasis on personalization and irrationality in "anti-photos."

This atmosphere is achieved through the use of color, light, and composition, elevating the photograph beyond simple documentary function to become a work of art with powerful emotional and conceptual expression.

Photographed by Liu Wanching in Inner Mongolia, China, 2013🌸

影像捕捉了現實場景，但強烈的藍灰色調和朦朧效果使其偏離了客觀紀實的本質，創造出一種超現實或詩意的氛圍。

照片中的孤獨人影和荒涼場景，營造出一種強烈的主觀情緒，讓觀者感受到一種神秘、孤獨或挑釁的感覺，這與「反照片」中強調個人化和非理性的表達方式相呼應。

這種氛圍的營造是透過色彩、光線和構圖等手法實現的，這些手法讓照片超越了單純的紀錄功能，成為一種具有強烈情感和觀念表達的藝術作品。

The Labrador Effect

Back to my post from yesterday for HSoS.

First of all, I would like to thank all the lovely Flickrities for the wonderful comments on yesterday's topic - title wanted - , everyone could have been right.

In my tags I announced that there would be a second photo, actually I should have posted it the other way around, but then the story would be a lie :)

On an autumn walk I suddenly heard a noise and it was anything but heavenly. The little rascal growled violently and it sounded like this: "Don't dare to come closer, or my huge friend will hug you" :-) and indeed, there he was! I then went on quickly ;-))

Can you see it? It wasn't predictable, the Labrador Effect ;-)))

Thanks for visiting and time to watch, happy Sunday , stay healthy, all!

PS

The two dogs are very happy and live and guard on a small horse farm, with adjoining small pond, a paradise for anglers. I'm only sad myself because I couldn't stroke them.

Orton Effect, Mali Losinj.Croatia

An echo of a drop.

A quiet stillness.

Disrupted by its own nature.

Bringing a chaos that radiates outwards.

But why is chaos sometimes so beautiful?

And perhaps even necessary?

Thank you for any comments

Take a moment to reflect about this: every action you have done, every step you have taken has led you to this point... It's beautiful chaos, isn't it? This theory is what they call "The Butterfly Effect."

The idea that even the small actions you do, have an effect on your life in ways we can't even imagine. So, close your eyes and realize the power you hold in your hands... Every selection, every moment adds to the storyline of your existence. Take a moment to contemplate on the beauty of it all.

Desolation is the framework for human ignorance that is rampant even in pandemic times.

I avoided any curves when building the Federations latest interceptor to give it a sharp edged, aggressive feel.

No curves except this excellent new canopy in trans yellow that is. For this we have @pixarslightyear and Angus MacLane to thank for.
