In this piece I wanted to explore the fragile nature of the human body and how the horror of torture that goes on everyday around the world, tears us apart.
This series is from my night at the Fragile City theater.
All photos are straight from the camera without any post production.
The fragile white crystals, or frozen dew drops, created delicate branched patterns of ice crystals.

1:03 pm CET -> Mycena sp? Sólo luz natural. Con la cámara directamente sobre el suelo resulta realmente difícil enfocar (imposible conseguir una visión decente a través del ocular por mucho que presiones con la cabeza contra el suelo); aquí es donde se agradecería una de esas pantallas desplegables. En ésta creo que usé el LiveView para enfocar el sombrero antes de bloquear el autoenfoque y dejar la cámara completamente apoyada en el suelo. Otros dos intentos, en manual, resultaron fallidos (la parte más anterior del sombrero fuera de foco).

1:03 pm CET -> Mycena sp? Only sunlight. It was a bit hard to get focus; I placed the camera directly on the ground, so I was unable to use properly the eyepiece despite putting my head on the forest litter. I used the LiveView to focus the top of the mushroom, and then switched off the autofocus (mirror up and remote trigger). Two more attempts (manual focus) failed.

Somehow, I'm slowly actually gaining more figures in my Arkham Knight line up, though Joker still eludes me.
I guess one of the things I like about the line, IP aside of course, is just radically different the characters and their outfits are as compared to the typical DCEU or MCU body sock offerings.
Anyway, back to the point. Harley Quinn has been a prominent character throughout the Arkham series, so unsurprisingly she makes an appearance in this line up. Unfortunately, she's built using that really crappy Hot Toys seamless body with the tougher than necessary rubber skin and flimsy as hell skeleton.
I say unfortunately because, well, the right forearm on mine snapped off so she can't bend her right at this time. This is especially annoying because Harley is apparently a right handed gun toting psycho, so... photos were kind of boring.
Figure set comes decently packed, featuring some hands, her mallet, baseball bat, pistol, paint can, jack in the box, and assault rifle. I kind of understand why she only comes with a gun grip hand for her right, but I don't get why she didn't come with any closed fists.
Like with most Hot Toys figures, Harley is more about the outfit and general aesthetics than articulation and posing. Busted arm aside, the seamless Hot Toy body doesn't lend itself to be posed very well. Add to that `tight clothing (specifically the leggings) and you get you're probably not doing much Black Widow level of posing. Sadly, as this is a Hot Toys body, the usual strange level of body curves is in play, though fortunately due to the outfit and concealing nature of the skirt, Harley LOOKS better off than any her peers.
The outfit itself looks stellar. I like the use of cloth, vinyl, and hard plastic. Small details are replicated nicely on the various garment pieces. Detailing is nice all over the figure, TBH, including the aforementioned weaponry.
Sculpt is usually the other piece of the accuracy game. It certainly looks more accurate than their typical live action offerings. I feel that the general expression and features are pretty good, but like with Batgirl the actual shape of the head is off. In this case, Harley should have a fuller, shorter face. She should also have more mascara.
Detailing on the hair is quite nice, and being short the fact that it is sculpted doesn't bother me. As a bonus, the pig tails are mounted on ball joints, so you can actually pose those for an additional touch of dynamic action.
Paint work is stunning, as always. Truly not really an issue I ever have with these figures is the quality of the paint itself. The accuracy of the paint, on the other hand, is another story, but it's not one I need to discuss on this figure.
I think we can skip to discussion on Build Quality, though I guess its worth mentioning that nothing else broke. Also, unlike some other figures, there are no flimsy or fragile spots on the accessories.
The sun destroyed the hoar frost and quickly melted the fragile ice crystals, but not before some beautiful pieces of winter cover were highlighted.
"Fragile
dal profondo del mio inferno canto
fragile
dai miei sbagli e da un dolore da difendere
finché l'ultimo respiro stanco mi sorprenderà
così fragile"
Mina
If blood will flow when flesh and steel are one
Drying in the colour of the evening sun
Tomorrow's rain will wash the stains away
But something in our minds will always stay
Perhaps this final act was meant
To clinch a lifetime's argument
That nothing comes from violence and nothing ever could
For all those born beneath an angry star
Lest we forget how fragile we are
On and on the rain will fall
Like tears from a star, like tears from a star
On and on the rain will say
How fragile we are, how fragile we are
On and on the rain will fall
Like tears from a star, like tears from a star
On and on the rain will say
How fragile we are, how fragile we are
How fragile we are, how fragile we are

Fragile - Sting
Let the feathers
Of destiny weave
The hues of solid crust
Heralding the sweetest
Mercy of living deeds.
A forlorn smile
Abated, with
The coming tides
Leaving behind a fragile dream...
Por alguna oculta razón, la belleza es frágil... y efímera.
Because, for some hidden law, beauty is fragile... and ephemeral.
Fragile sandstone formations in Fantasy Canyon in the Uinta Basin about 30 miles SE of Vernal, Utah in the middle of the Basin Natural Gas Fields. The land is managed by the BLM and Fantasy Canyon is a bit tricky to find and get to. Definitely a 4wd opportunity. Take lots of water -- it is seriously hot in this remote little canyon. But the formations -- unique in the world, are well worth the trek. To find the place get a map at the BLM field office in Vernal.

modeste hommage à Edward Hopper et sa maitrise du découpage et de la géométrie.
J'ai pris cette photo dans les jardins de la Fondation de l'Hermitage à Lausanne ou se tenait l'exposition Edward Hopper. Les caisses vertes d'emballage des tableaux de l'exposition s'entassaient dans une serre dont les vitres reflétaient le jardin. Ici aussi tout est coupé, dedans et dehors.
I saw that a rose was just flowering in my Garden, so I cut it with the aim to photograph it indoors, by the time I got to it the next morning for the best light, half of the petals had dropped already.
Showing the fragility of living things when removed from thier natural environment.

"When we speak the word 'life' , it must be understood we are not refering to life as we know it from its surface on fact, but to that fragile, flucrating center which forms never reach"
Antonin Artaud
This photo has made me think about all the things that still frighten me. About the above mentioned fragility of life, living beings and this world´s balance. But also, about my own vulnerability, inescapable weakness linked to ageing, indifference and cruelty of those who don´t appreciate the uniqueness of life...
