Taken in the 'China: Through the Looking Glass' exhibition (May-September 2015).
This exhibition explores the impact of Chinese aesthetics on Western fashion and how China has fueled the fashionable imagination for centuries. In this collaboration between The Costume Institute and the Department of Asian Art, high fashion is juxtaposed with Chinese costumes, paintings, porcelains, and other art, including films, to reveal enchanting reflections of Chinese imagery.
From the earliest period of European contact with China in the sixteenth century, the West has been enchanted with enigmatic objects and imagery from the East, providing inspiration for fashion designers from Paul Poiret to Yves Saint Laurent, whose fashions are infused at every turn with romance, nostalgia, and make-believe. Through the looking glass of fashion, designers conjoin disparate stylistic references into a pastiche of Chinese aesthetic and cultural traditions.
The exhibition features more than 140 examples of haute couture and avant-garde ready-to-wear alongside Chinese art. Filmic representations of China are incorporated throughout to reveal how our visions of China are framed by narratives that draw upon popular culture, and also to recognize the importance of cinema as a medium through which to understand the richness of Chinese history.

In the Metropolitan Museum of Art, 5th Avenue, New York
Llanrwst Bridge in the late evening Sun.
A small town in North Wales, the Bridge crosses the River Conwry.
This is another from my archives.
A lovely evening glow in Macedon on the weekend, where
the sun was peaking through the trees and emitting a warm hue.
Feeling in a shadowy kinda mood today. This was taken in the Jewish Ghetto (Ghetto Nuovo). These two old ladies where standing bemused outside this block of flats, clearly debating if this was indeed their final destination. I really love how the wide anlge stretches those already lengthening shadows (like sticky goo) and emphasises that fading and gorgeous evening light..
My take on the Tuesday evening super moon. You will know who to ask for your next howling wolf t-shirt! 🌕🐺👕
Pentax K-70 + HD DA 300mm PLM. Since I don't yet have a lens powerful enough to capture a full and well-defined moon: HDR stacking in Lightroom of 10 images at ƒ / 29.0 1/10 sec on tripod. The trees and the halo are of a separate image where the moon was overexposed. Photoshop recipe for the stars & vapor. Wolf Silhouette: Clipart Image.
In the evening hours train TER 868313 makes a stop at the station of Nexon, before continuing to St.Yrieux. The train service between Nexon and St.Yrieux had been suspended since the end of February 2018 due to the poor state of the tracks. The Région Nouvelle-Aquitaine has invested money for a quick maintenance job to reinstate the service between Limoges and St.Yrieux via Nexon. Since June 14, 2020 trains are running again. In 2023 work will be continued for a further upgrade of the line.
No decisions have been made so far, for the line south of St.Yrieux in the direction of Brive.
Nexon.
