VERY RUDE GESTURE, poking his tongue out, this Grey Heron, is a large and familiar wetland bird, often stands motionless for hours on end, waiting for prey to pass within striking range of its bill. However sometimes it will engage in active pursuit, fish and amphibians are its main prey. Seen at Bough Beech Reserve. Kent.

The Reichstag building is home to Germany’s Parliament, the Bundestag. The classically pedimented and columned building was built in the 1890s, seriously damaged by fire in 1933, and restored to host the parliament of the newly reunified Germany in the 1990s. The Reichstag is now the second most visited attraction in Germany, not least because of the huge glass dome that was erected on the roof as a gesture to the original 1894 cupola, giving an impressive view over the city, especially at night.

A challenging exercise in quadrant composition --
My daughter's cinema friend challenged me to design a 1x1 shot wherein each quadrant would be unique yet together would tell a visual story
Mit dieser imposanten Drohgebärde verscheucht der Grünfink andere männliche Konkurrenten, da er sich gerade in der Balz befindet und die nur nerven.
With this imposing threatening gesture, the greenfinch scares away other male competitors, as it is in courtship display and they are just annoying.

"The Syndics," also known as "The Sampling Officials," is a renowned painting created by the Dutch master Rembrandt van Rijn in 1662. It is an exceptional example of group portraiture from the Dutch Golden Age, depicting five men gathered around a table, engaged in their duties as syndics (officers) of the Amsterdam Drapers' Guild.
The painting is notable for its meticulous attention to detail and Rembrandt's skillful use of light and shadow. The figures are positioned in a semi-circle around the table, with their faces illuminated by a strong light source from the left. This dramatic lighting technique creates a sense of depth and dimensionality, drawing the viewer's attention to the individual expressions and gestures of the syndics.
Each syndic is portrayed with distinctive characteristics, capturing their roles and personalities within the guild. Rembrandt expertly renders their varied facial features, clothing, and accessories, demonstrating his mastery in capturing human likeness and conveying individuality. The syndics are shown examining fabric samples, which symbolize their responsibility for regulating quality and standards within the textile industry.
"The Syndics" is regarded as one of Rembrandt's most celebrated works and is highly regarded for its technical brilliance and psychological depth. The painting exemplifies his ability to infuse ordinary subjects with dignity and introspection, elevating them beyond mere representation. It also reflects the artist's deep understanding of human nature, emphasizing the individuality and humanity of each syndic.
Today, "The Syndics" is housed in the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, where it continues to captivate visitors with its remarkable craftsmanship and profound insight into the human condition. It stands as a testament to Rembrandt's enduring legacy as one of the greatest painters in Western art history.
I mull over for quite a while of whether to write about taking this picture, its not a dramatic incident, but somehow shrouded with mystery... read blog

“Listen…” His words trailed off with a sigh. When he did that I knew what was coming next.
He gestured to the side and spoke again, “I know you’re the Princess and all, but you can’t have me locking up every person who looks at you the wrong way.”
I stopped and gave him one of my winning smiles, I even added a brief batting of my eyes for extra measure. “You like it.” I gave him a light tap to his chest and started walking again.
I knew he rolled his eyes at me, I could feel it. A moment later he followed after, re-taking up his position as my guard. He has had his position for over two-years now and not once had he hesitated to take care of anyone who came at me with ill-intentions. Sometimes I liked to think it was simply because he was good at his job, but other times I wondered if it was something else . . .

Finding gestures by ferns..1 of a series
I wanted to do some images of ferns emerging but not the usual unfurling curled ones... This one is "I dunno!"
From all accounts, looks like this eagle might be gesturing to me in a not so pleasant manner. Actually, its getting ready to scratch its head. LOL

Series: Life between lines
Collection: The poetry of invisible movements / Sao Paulo BRAZIL, 2021
A look, a step, a gesture, the lines of the city or any detail, completed by the look, creating a poetics in the movements that only exist in the encounter between bodies, photographer, place, people photographed and who sees the photo, and this can generate a power of presence, a static dance.

Una mirada, un paso, un gesto, las líneas de la ciudad o cualquier detalle, completado por la mirada, creando una poética en los movimientos que sólo existen en el encuentro entre cuerpos, fotógrafo, lugar, personas fotografiadas y quien ve la foto, y esto puede generar un poder de presencia, una danza estática.

The design for the Japanese Garden was conceived in 1970, construction started in 1971 and it was completed in 1974. It represents a gentle, horticultural gesture of sister ship between two sister cities, Buffalo and Kanazawa, Japan. Located on 6 acres along Delaware Park’s Mirror Lake, the original design contained over 1,000 plantings, nearly 20 globe-type lights, three small islands connected to the mainland by bridges.
An immature(or a female) Snowy Owl flew from a nearby airport field on to the roof of a building at the edge of the park. An adult Red-tailed Hawk showed up to attack the owl and then thought otherwise when the Snowy took the defensive posture.
AI tells me that "a gesture is a physical action, often using the hands, arms, or face, that communicates a message, idea, or feeling, or it can be a symbolic act done to show an attitude or intention. Gestures can involve body language to emphasize speech or convey meaning in the absence of words." In this case, I did not know what kind of face to make. Fuji X-Pro1 plus 7Artisans 1.2/35 wide-open.
