Art Evokes Emotion

This pic is an oldie that I still enjoy as it evokes memories of a salmon fishing trip that we took years ago at Gold Beach, Oregon. This pic brings back the memories of the beauty of nature that can be revealed when the fog comes in, the sun shines thru, and one small denizen of nature pops thru the fog. I love this pic and the memories that it retains for me.
A photograph that simultaneously evokes pathos, irony and humour.

Picturesque framing of a prominent date palm tree surrounded by a field of green and golden vegetation under a clear bright blue sky.
A landscape characteristic of the Nile Valley in Egypt.
Other smaller palm trees and greenery are visible further back in the mid ground near the mountains.
Its strong vertical form and lush green fronds contrast with the surrounding landscape. The backdrop of dry, rocky mountains is typical of the desert terrain bordering the fertile Nile strip.
The presence of cultivated green fields around the palm tree indicates an irrigated area, consistent with agriculture supported by the Nile River.
A clear sense of depth, with the palm tree in the mid-ground, positioned slightly off-center, adhering to the rule of thirds for a more dynamic composition. The horizon line is relatively low, emphasizing the sky and the mountains.
Palm trees evolve to grow tall to outcompete other plants for sunlight, which is essential for energy production.
Their large, flat leaves are designed to maximize the absorption of sunlight during the day, allowing them to convert light into energy more efficiently.
Taken during early morning in front of the Theban mountain. The warm, soft light of the golden hour illuminating the scene, the palm tree is well-lit and the mountains have a warm, sandy hue. The sky is a clear, bright blue, providing a strong contrast to the earthy tones of the landscape.
The image evokes a sense of tranquility and natural beauty, highlighting the resilience of life in an arid landscape.
A moment of tranquility where green meets gold and mountains touch the sky.

À mi-chemin du parcours dans le Cosmopolitan Culture Park, se dresse un pavillon en béton gris clair aux façades en bois et en verre. LabOvo, une fusion de ‘AB OVO’ – qui évoque les tout débuts de l’existence – et LAB, pour la collaboration entre les disciplines qui se traduit par des découvertes, scientifiques et autres, symbolise l’ADN du travail créatif multiforme de Vanmechelen qui se nourrit de la diversité ambiante. Le labo est un lieu d’expérimentations, de croisements féconds des organismes et d’idées nouvelles.
LabOvo, centre nerveux du Cosmopolitan Culture Park, est en même temps un lieu de repos pour le promeneur avec sa terrasse panoramique. Il y a ici également place pour les soins aux animaux et les projets pédagogiques, avec un lieu de quarantaine, une salle pour des ateliers et un amphithéâtre pouvant aussi servir de tribune publique.
Closed and under construction during our visit!
Architect Van Belle & Medina (Antwerp)
Halfway through the course in the Cosmopolitan Culture Park stands a light gray concrete pavilion with wood and glass facades. LabOvo, a fusion of 'AB OVO' – which evokes the very beginnings of existence – and LAB, for collaboration between disciplines that results in discoveries, scientific and otherwise, symbolizes the DNA of Vanmechelen's multifaceted creative work which feeds on the surrounding diversity. The lab is a place of experimentation, fruitful crossings of organisms and new ideas.
LabOvo, the nerve center of the Cosmopolitan Culture Park, is at the same time a place of rest for the walker with its panoramic terrace. There is also room here for animal care and educational projects, with a quarantine area, a room for workshops and an amphitheater that can also be used as a public gallery.

Nearly a decade after becoming the first American to win the grand prize at the Venice Biennale in 1964,Rauschenburg returned to the floating city.
With its water-filled bathtub,this work evokes Venetian canals:its suspended tangle of found rusted metals refers to the aging.deteriorating surfaces throughout the city.
Thoroughly inspired by some wonderful photography on display at this years Head On photo festival at the Paddington Reservoir Gardens.

"Tú eliges el lugar de la herida
en donde hablamos nuestro silencio.
Tú haces de mi vida
esta ceremonia demasiado pura."
Alejandra Pizarnik.
The Merry Cemetery (Romanian: Cimitirul Vesel pronounced [t͡ʃimiˈtirul ˈvesel]) is a cemetery in the village of Săpânța, Maramureş county, Romania. It is famous for its colourful tombstones with naïve paintings describing, in an original and poetic manner, the people who are buried there as well as scenes from their lives. The Merry Cemetery became an open-air museum and a national tourist attraction.
The unusual feature of this cemetery is that it diverges from the prevalent belief, culturally shared within European societies – a belief that views death as something indelibly solemn. Connections with the local Dacian culture have been made, a culture whose philosophical tenets presumably vouched for the immortality of the soul and the belief that death was a moment filled with joy and anticipation for a better life (see also Zalmoxianism).
In 2017 there was published the first book, which is a collection of the epithaps from the Merry Cemetery, by young author Roxana Mihalcea, who gathered the epithaps in the volume Crucile de la Săpânța [1] The indisputable merit of this work is the gathering of several hundred legible epitaphs from the Sapanta crosses. The author's texts enrich each chapter with in-depth commentary, accessible to the contemporary public, especially to the urban, less familiar with the rites of rural life in the past. So, the funerary lyrics from Sapanta get a sense beyond the disappeared world it evokes, giving readers valuable information about the everyday life of the village.
Wild teasels as transgenerational contemporaries.
Seeing this scene evoked many thoughts in me...
One thought was: The blessing and curse of generational succession. For the younger generation there may be a feeling of reassurance and frustration at the same time: The elder generations have been here before, so this must be a good place to live. However, are there any places left where we come as pioneers? The elder generation may likewise feel reassured and frustrated at the same time: Good to know that someone is coming after us, but hard to accept the fact that life's apogee already lies behind one, that maybe it's time to let go and give room to the younger.
A second related thought was: How many things of the past—maybe not always as visible as here—influence our present life? To what degree does the past determine the presence? Particularly regarding our parents and upbringing...
A third thought occurred to me as photographer. Regarding wild flowers, teasels are probably one of the most photographed subjects. Sometimes one feels: Nothing new under the sun. Somehow, every possible and impossible subject has already been photographed by someone else. Why aren't there any white spaces left on the map? That hurts my vanity.
My fourth thought then was: Overcome your vanity! Particularly while looking at this example of the life cycle, you should become humbler. With the words of Ecclesiastes: There is a time to be born and a time to die, a time to weep and a time to laugh, a time to search and a time to give up, a time to be silent and a time to speak. In the end, I took this picture with one laughing eye and one crying. Finally, I became silent in awe, felt small but somehow blessed, too.
I don't know what are your feelings when looking at this picture?

"Purer colors... have in themselves, independently of the objects they serve to express, a significant action on the feelings of those who look at them."
Henri Matisse
Annonciation est une installation sonore composée d'une série de haut-parleurs provenant d'un ancien stade du bloc de l'Est. Dans l'installation, vous entendez un bourdonnement qui évoque des insectes ou une foule en liesse, également une référence aux sentiments que la musique et la danse peuvent évoquer.
Annunciation is a sound installation made up of a series of loudspeakers from a former stadium in the Eastern bloc. In the installation you hear a buzz that evokes insects or a cheering crowd, also a reference to the feelings that music and dance can evoke.
They lean against the weathered wooden beam,
With eyes fixed fast upon the autumn grey,
Where aged wings pursue a faded dream
And ghostly shadows chase the light away.
The engine roar evokes a fleeting past,
Of open skies and journeys never made,
A heavy stillness settles down at last
As silver wings begin to slowly fade.
Beside the fence the quiet onlookers stay,
To watch the old planes turn and touch the ground,
While phantom hopes of youth are cast away,
Lost in the propeller’s melancholy sound.
They trace the lines of every landing flight,
Reaching for paths they never chose to fly,
As dark clouds gather with the fading light,
And unrealised dreams drift through the sky.

Tribute to Joe Malone
The Quebec Bulldogs captain led his team to two Stanley Cups. Frédéric Laforge’s sculpture, entitled Joe Malone, is composed of layers that create a transparent effect, evoking the man who was called “the ghost” because of his ability to outwit opposing defenders.

A burst of color can evoke feelings, add vibrancy and simple individuality in your life. Sometimes when the snow squalls are putting a blanket of white on the world outside, I go to my colorful plants inside for inspiration. This is my Amaryllis Plant I bought for myself for Christmas. I did a multiple exposure with three images in camera when the first buds were about to bloom. Now those blooms are dying off and a new cluster is showing their true colors.
I thought the red color of Death Angels cover from the "Veil of Deception" record would perfectly fit to the former red curtains of this stage... sadly no good quality of this print was to find in the internet.
As the sun dips below the horizon in Halvergate, Norfolk, the fiery orange sky sets the green fields aglow, creating a stunning rural landscape. The tranquil countryside scene, with its weathered fence and the sun obscured by the clouds, evokes a sense of calm and serenity, capturing the essence of rural life in England

built in 1840 , in the Old Fortress , to meet the religious needs of the British soldiers during English "protection" . Its design evokes ancient Doric temple.
This has added interest to previously dull area.
Adjacent to a basketball court in Orchard Road Park Southsea, a stunning new art installation has been painted. The paintings titled 'Proper Faces' are by Dharma 77 who also has work on display in the alleyway between Palmerston Road and Tonbridge Street in Southsea. You can view much more work by Dharma 77 on his Instagram account.
Dharma 77’s mural depicts characters and archetypes all observed by the artist in Portsmouth. The colour scheme evokes the familiar changing coastal light as the sun rises in the east and sets in the west of the island, across the faces representing a diverse collection of idiosyncratic, lairy, real, colourful people who are, like this island, a microcosm of Britain yet distinctly ‘Pompey’.
Each has their own background and story as they and this historic city look towards the future.
Artist Bio:
Dharma 77 (Luke Storkey) is an artist focusing on portraiture, colour and light. Working primarily with spray paint and ink, he paints large scale public murals and produces smaller works for private collectors.
Another new artwork.
Its a symbolic series where I want to project the poetic connection between human feelings and the fascinating force of nature.

I returned to the 5-star suite in Vancouver just as the afternoon light began to dissolve into amber. The air still held the faint trace of champagne from the night before, and as I stepped toward the window, I caught my reflection—soft, radiant, and impossibly daring—in the pale pink silk of my Tighter lingerie by small.
There’s something about this piece that makes the heart flutter. The silhouette clings like a whispered secret—its high-cut sides elongate my curves while delicate ribbons trace my hips, tightening into artful knots of temptation. The neckline plunges with reckless grace, held by the thinnest of straps that seem to exist only to heighten desire.
🌸 Tighter is more than a mere lingerie set; it’s a sensation sculpted in motion—its BLINN & Soft PBR materials shimmer in natural light, revealing the play between gloss and sheer with every subtle move. The HUD offers breathtaking transparency options, from the gentlest blush to a daring reveal, and a spectrum of colors that evoke both innocence and seduction.
It fits perfectly across a variety of bodies—LaraX, Petitex, Legacy, Perky, Bombshell, Reborn, Reborn Squish, Waifu, Nhuma, and Lively—each one sculpted to celebrate every feminine curve in its own exquisite way.

As I looked out the window, the city lights shimmered below like scattered diamonds on velvet, each one reflecting a memory of desire and discovery. I let my fingertips rest along the cool glass, the soft fabric of Tighter brushing against my skin, reminding me how elegance and sensuality can coexist in one breath.
💗 Lingerie is not about seduction—it’s about confidence worn close to the skin.

Description of the District
The MacNab-Charles Heritage Conservation District is a one
block area bounded by MacNab Street South, Hurst Place,
Charles Street and Bold Street in the City of Hamilton. The
district consists of seven properties. These properties include
two multi-unit residences, a church and manse, two residential
properties and offices.
Cultural Heritage Value of the District
According to a plaque, the cultural heritage value of the district lies in the fact that:
The downtown block of MacNab Street South, Hurst Place, Charles Street and Bold Street contains a unique collection of stone buildings primarily dating from the 1850s.
While stone architecture was relatively rare in Ontario, Hamilton’s Mountain offered a ready supply of limestone. The local resource was used to great advantage in the hands of the newly-arrived Scottish stonemasons, establishing pre-Confederation Hamilton as a city renowned for its wealth of handsome stone
architecture.
With the MacNab Street Presbyterian Church as the focal point, the Victorian stone and brick streetscape of MacNab-Charles evoke a genuine sense of history in the heart of this city.
Designation of the District
The designation of the MacNab Charles Heritage Conservation District was initiated by the City Hamilton.
The Study and Plan were conducted and written between 1986 and 1988 by the Local Planning Branch, Planning and Development Department and the Hamilton-Wentworth Region. It was carried out in consultation with a local District Steering Committee made up of owners from the area.
The MacNab-Charles Heritage Conservation District is protected by By-law 90-144 which was passed on May 9, 1990 by the City of Hamilton.
The desert wears... a veil of mystery. Motionless and silent it evokes in us an elusive hint of something unknown, unknowable, about to be revealed. Since the desert does not act it seems to be waiting -- but waiting for what? Edward Abbey
One of the desert jewels in the southern Utah desert. This little arch is located in an entrada sandstone formation north of Moab, Utah. On this night my friend JK Schow and I set up to retake shots on this arch. JK rented some fisheye lenses that worked a lot better this time, for shots taken inside the arch. We then climbed on top of the arch to get this composition.
When Edward Abbey wrote the above quote I believe he was speaking of the desert in general. With the cloaking of darkness and the added beauty of the night sky does it or does it not add to the mystery?

The idea that while the rook and knight appear as tactical roles on the surface, their shadows reveal the regal forms of a king and queen—suggesting they share a hidden, unified desire for power or recognition. This contrast between external function and internal identity evokes a shared psychological narrative, where the lighting becomes a metaphor for revealing the truth beneath the mask.
A detail from "Gathering"
Fung + Bedford is the multidisciplinary design studio of UK artists Angela Fung (b. Mozambique, 1970) and Ashley Bedford (b. UK, 1970), who create tailormade origami paper installations. These large-scale, often architectural structures hang from walls and ceilings or wind their way through space. Fung and Bedford are fascinated by the fact that a two-dimensional object can be changed into a three-dimensional one with a few cuts, twists, and folds. All of their designs are based on paper. Their ambitious installation for the exhibition is designed for the tall, light-filled space of the CODA Museum, the work of architect Herman Hertzberger. Gathering is a gold curtain that flows downwards from the seven-metre ceiling. The title refers to a physical meeting of spirit, body and space that her work evokes, and is also a contemporary reference to our inability to gather during the Covid pandemic. Fung and Bedford are using the form and the shimmering material to encourage gathering and being together. The installation consists of more than a hundred hand-folded sheets of Fedrigoni gold paper attached to steel cables, creating a curtain structure that visitors can wander along.
