Art Nouveau it was inspired by natural forms and structures, not only in flowers and plants, but also in curved lines. Architects tried to harmonize with the natural environment.
To visualise this philosophy I took pictures of art nouveau architecture as well as plants and combined them in one picture.
This picture is double exposure done on analogue film. The film is exposed taking architecture pictures and once all pictures are taken the film is wind back to be exposed a second time. This time pictures of natural and floral objects are taken. Since one hardly remembers what picture was taken when in the first round, it is a lot of random process how the objects overlay in the final picture. But surprise is part of the fun

The new building of the Museum of Ethnography in Budapest City Park (Városliget) was opened 2022. The award-winning new museum building – which is part of Europe’s largest urban-cultural development called Liget Budapest Project has dynamic yet simple lines simultaneously harmonized with the park environment and communicating with the surrounding urban area.
The collection, which comprises 250.000 items from the Carpathian Basin and from every corner of the world, has been hosted by various facilities since its establishment in 1872, but never in its history did it operate in a building designed specifically to cater to its needs. The project was one of over 1700 entries from 115 countries. According to the decision of an international jury, the competition was won by the Hungarian architectural studio, Napur Architect (beating leading world-class architect studios such as Zaha Hadid, BIG), whose building is distinguished by a dynamic yet simple design harmonized with the natural environment of the park while communicating with the urban texture of its surroundings. The gently curving lines enable the building to function as a gateway and a passage linking the city and the park. Sixty percent of the structure is under ground level, and thanks to the landscaped roof and the transparency of the sections over the ground, the new museum is adapted to its environment in its scale too. The grass-covered roof area will be a pleasant community space awaiting visitors to Városliget.
The spectacular trademark of the building is the glass curtain wall surrounding the landscaped roof garden, reminiscent of two intertwined hillsides, with a unique characteristic, consisting of nearly half a million pixels, a raster made by metal grid based on ethnographic motifs selected from the museum's Hungarian and international collections.
The new functions and flexible spaces of the modern and state-of-the-art museum building will facilitate the understanding of the historical heritage embodied by the collection as well as the various aspects of contemporary society. Besides passing down this historical heritage, the realization of more recent professional and research themes and perspectives continues to be among the priority objectives of the museum, as confirmed by its mission. The creatively built spaces will open up new opportunities to communicate with visitors, enabling the presentation of the everyday objects, phenomena, and ideas of the past and the present side by side.
To amuse and distract myself these past couple of weeks, I spent a lot of time reliving some of my favorite times, with people I've loved through the years.
Many of those times my mind would wander to the things I used to do with my Mother.
Standing at the kitchen sink, singing together while we washed and dried the dinner dishes is always a favorite.
My Mom loved to sing. She had a lovely alto voice. Her older sister, my Aunt Lillian, had an exquisite soprano. Their voices complemented each other perfectly. Both played piano expertly, and sang in the church choir and played the organ.
Between the two of them they probably knew the lyrics to every popular song of their day.
My cousins were all musically inclined too.
The gathering of the entire clan around the piano in the living room aftera big family dinner and singing our way through the entire "Reader's Digest Most Beloved Songs" was a family ritual.
It was liking growing up with the Americanized version of the Von Trapp family! Fun times!!
My mother couldn't wait until I was old enough to start teaching me to sing and be able to hold the melody while she would harmonize.
One of the 1st songs I remember her teaching me was Carolina in the Morning.(we even had choreography!)
Every time I see morning glories it takes me right back to that song.........and my Mother.
Architectural and rolling stock aesthetics combine neatly in this view of a southbound Brightline service drawing into the dedicated station at Fort Lauderdale. The present northern terminus at West Palm Beach is in a similar style. A pointer for future railway stations of the 21st century?
The beginning of the 1930’s marks the democratization of aerodynamics in the car lines. Each manufacturer tries to harmonize its range with more contemporary offerings, including Peugeot with its 301 Profilée version. The model we present is in an advanced state of preservation, but is very healthy. Its paint is not the original one, and shows an old quality restoration. The interior is complete, but the upholstery is in a rather used state. From a mechanical point of view, a restoration will be necessary, but the package seems to be in good condition. Here is the opportunity to acquire one of the rare survivors of the 301 Profilée versions!

Later, back in his office, I asked Kronman whether born-again paganism wasn’t just a kind of fancy atheism. His ideas about divinity seem, at times, more poetic than religious; toward the end of the book, he devotes many pages to Walt Whitman and Wallace Stevens.
“The ‘God’ word,” Kronman said, nodding. “If there were another word that I could use . . . People say ‘spirituality,’ but that’s such weak tea. All of us have multiple beliefs. Say you believe in God. You also believe in other things: science, or the value of literature, or democracy. If you’re a curious and reflective person, you’ll be moved to ask: How do all these beliefs fit together? You could say, ‘Well, I guess I’m an atheist, because only atheism will save my science, aesthetics, and politics.’ Or you could say, ‘It’s God first and only, and if I have to throw those other things overboard, so be it.’ ”
He leaned forward, steepling his fingers. “Or it could be that, by adjusting your conception of God, you could harmonize your beliefs, so that they fit together in an intellectually coherent and respectable way.”

(See large) Build a structure that provides the widest possible view of Grand Canyon yet harmonizes with its setting: this was architect Mary Colter's goal when the Fred Harvey Company hired her in 1930 to design a gift shop and rest area at Desert View. Colter's answer was the Watchtower.
A perfectionist, Colter scrutinized every detail, down to the placement of nearly every stone. Each stone was handpicked for size and appearance. Weathered faces were left untouched to give the tower an ancient look. With a lavish, highly publicized dedication ceremony, the Watchtower opened in May 1933.
The canyon wall is also visible.

European Starling
According to neurologist Lauren Riters of the University of Wisconsin, starlings have among the longest and most complex songs of any birds in North America. They continually incorporate new sounds into their vocal arrangements, often mimicking frogs, goats, cats and even other birds. The result is an admixture: warbles, creaks, squeaks, whistles, throaty chirrups, twitters and raspy trills.
While singing, the starling syrinx vibrates in two separate parts, which allow one bird to sing harmonizing duets with itself. "Starlings sing because it makes them feel good," Riters explains.
"Most other birds only sing in spring, but starlings sing all year."
This still life just presented itself on a visit to Göttingen and I couldn't resist taking a photo. The color harmonized nicely and the composition was pretty much obvious.
This is my first color upload in quite a while. I've been taking a lot of color slides in my point-and-shoot camera but they're mostly of family and friends so they don't really end up here on Flickr ;)
With all my darkroom efforts of developing film and printing, I sometimes really forget how convenient and simple it can be to just hand in your film to a lab and get presentation-ready results back without smelling any chemistry. I gotta admit: that's nice for a change, despite my love for darkroom work. Sometimes I really forget that all the hassle I go through with my b/w work is - technically speaking - extraneous and that the photo process can be so much easier and quicker. Of course, the feedback loop of digital photography renders this impression even stronger!

Hans Arp - A Petrified Forest - exhibition in Museum Beelden aan Zee, The Hague - Scheveningen
Hans Arp (1886-1966) believed in the intrinsic connection between art and nature, creating sculptures that harmonized with the natural world. Using plaster as his primary medium, Arp developed organic forms that blurred the line between abstraction and representation. His studio, akin to a “petrified, enchanted forest,” housed plaster models, each form crafted at least twice for exploration, dissection, and reintegration into new creations – often also in different sizes and materials.
Arp's affinity for nature led him to display sculptures outdoors, allowing them to weather and mature naturally. In 2023, the Stiftung Hans Arp und Sophie Taeuber-Arp e.V. donated 220 plasters to ten institutions globally. Museum Beelden aan Zee has received 21 plasters and one bronze. Arp never considered his plasters as market-ready, making the donation particularly significant for institutions that would otherwise never be able to acquire such works.
The exhibition Hans Arp – A Petrified Forest presents the donated plasters for the first time and in an exhibition design resembling the artists’ studio in Meudon, France. Arp’s journey into sculpture began in the 1930s, with the donated works reflecting the culmination of his innovative exploration until his passing in 1966.

The large, fragrant, snow white flowers of Echinacea purpurea 'White Lustre' Coneflower will harmonize beautifully with all the other perennials in the garden. Adding white to the garden palette allows the eye a resting place amongst a sea of brighter colors. This selection holds its flowers horizontally on strong, branched stems; they also have overlapping petals and a golden yellow cone.

In 2013, the National Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art, Korea opened a new branch in Sogyeok-dong, Jongno-gu at the former site of the Defense Security Command. The announcement for the construction of the National Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art, Seoul (MMCA Seoul) came out in 2009, and the architecture for the museum was selected through idea proposals and an architectural design competition in 2010. What makes the Seoul branch different from the others is that it introduced Korea’s traditional architectural concept of ‘madang’, which is a spacious courtyard where people can come in and gather together to socialize. MMCA Seoul's building is also designed to harmonize with the surrounding nature around the city.
Equipped with facilities including a reference center, a project gallery theater and a multipurpose hall, MMCA Seoul strives to accommodate every mode of new artistic endeavor and to communicate with the public. The site is where Korea’s historical and political developments were achieved. Most of the old buildings are gone but a few still remains to remind people of its significant role.
The Dapper Dans are getting ready to start their day by harmonizing all the way up and down Main Street USA at Disneyland. On this day, Lee, the big draft-horse in charge of the Street Car, was acting up a bit...he was nervous because the sound system the Dans use was reverbing and popping loudly in the speakers very close to the Street Car and he began to get jumpy. Immediately, these three conductors showed up and calmed the big animal down and the Dapper Dans were on their way...One thing caught my attention when I processed this...the gal on the right is wearing cowboy boots!

I designed this Hoping For Spring Pedestal to harmonize with the art glass globe. It got its name from all the bees that kept checking it for pollen while I worked on it. Glass tile, vitreous tile, iridescent tile, Venetian tile, millefiori, marbles, glitter tile, mini tiles, stained glass, large ceramic candle stand, and part of a thrift store stained glass lamp to support the globe.
The survival of the fittest is the ageless law of nature, but the fittest are rarely the strong. The fittest are those endowed with the qualifications for adaptation, the ability to accept the inevitable and conform to the unavoidable, to harmonize with existing or changing conditions. ~ Author Unknown
Definitely some of the most adaptable creatures I have ever seen....you have to be in order to survive in such harsh & brutal conditions. Decided it was time to return to some of my wildlife images from this winter's trip to Yellowstone, so this week I will be posting some that I never got around to....hope you enjoy!!!!!
Wishing everyone a great week.....was able to enjoy the day off (President's Day) and spend a little time with the hubby in one of our favorite places....the Hill in St. Louis (historic Italian neighborhood); a day of shopping, great eats, & great company :-) As always, thanks for stopping by to visit; your comments & critiques are always appreciated.

Swami Speaks About Divine Music
"What is the essence of Sankeerthana? Its essential purpose is to earn the love of God. Combining one's voice, tune, feeling and rhythm to the appropriate beat of the song, the devotee should immerse himself in the singing. Harmonizing the feeling with devotion and Love, the sacred words of the song should be an outpouring of love towards God. That alone is devotional singing."
"When the song is rendered without understanding the meaning of the words and without any inner feeling or genuine love for God, it is a mechanical performance. Bhaava (feeling), Raaga (melody) and Thaala (rhythm) are the essentials for proper singing."
"Even the name Bhaarath signifies the combination of these three elements. (Bha-Ra-Tha). In every action in daily life, the combination of these three elements should be observed. This rule can be applied even to one's studies. Bhaava, in relation to study of a subject, means understanding the subject thoroughly. Raaga implies cultivating a love for the subject and Thaala means expressing one's knowledge coherently and clearly."
“The wealth derived from singing God’s name, and meditation, is the influence of the higher energies in nature on one’s life. These not only cleanse the external body but also purify the inner tendencies .”
“Bhajan is one of the processes by which you can train the mind to expand into eternal values. Teach the mind to revel in the glory and majesty of God; wean it away from petty horizons of pleasure. Bhajan induces in you a desire for experiencing the Truth, to glimpse the Beauty that is God, to taste the Bliss that is the Self. It encourages man to dive into himself and be genuinely his Real Self. Once that search is desired, the path is easy. One has only to be reminded that he is divine. The malady is: it is being thrust out of recognition. Man has come for a great destiny, on a sacred mission, endowed with special skills and tendencies to help him on; but, he fritters these precious gifts and crawls on earth from birth to death, worse than any animal. Exercises like Bhajan elevate the mind and exhort the individual to seek and find the source of eternal joy that lies within him.”
“People may say that when you go to Sai Baba, there is nothing but bhajan. Realize that there is nothing “Your heart grows when you are hearing bhajans with a full mind. On the other hand, if you do not sing melodiously, then you will not be getting joy. Community singing must be developed if you want to give to all people the thrill and joy of singing of prayers.”
“Bhajans should be sung with complete obliviousness of the body. Devotional fervour is more important than musical skill. The ladies who took part in the bhajans in the morning sang the bhajans whole-heartedly. Their hearts were full of sweetness. Hence sweet music flowed from their hearts.”
"The word of a song can be expressed in prosaic manner which has no appeal to the listener. But when they are sung melodiously as in the song: "Raama! Nannu Kaapaadu"--"Raama! save me," they tug at the heart-strings. (Svaami sang the song to demonstrate its appeal). Such sweetness is contained in the song when it is rendered melodiously."
"Everyone, whether he is well versed in music or not, should listen attentively to the singer and try to repeat the words of the song with feeling."
"Some persons attending bhajans do not move their lips at all. They may say that they are singing the songs mentally within themselves. This is not proper. If you have devotional feeling, it should be expressed by the tongue joining in the bhajan. Only then it can be called Sankeerthana--singing in unison with others. You must sing the names aloud, full-throated, as far as the voice can reach. Only then the Divine will respond in full measure and shower His grace. No one will go to the rescue of a drowning man if his cries are feeble. Only when he cries aloud at the top of his voice will the cries be heard and people will rush to save him. Sankeerthana means singing with abandon and fervor."
"Everyone should realize that every limb and organ in the body has been given to man to be used for a sacred purpose: The tongue to utter the Lord's name, the hands to offer worship, the feet to go the temple and so on. These organs should not be used for frivolous and unholy purposes. Sanctifying everyone of the sense organs, man should purify the mind and contemplate on God."

The Austrian Parliament Building (German: Parlament or Hohes Haus, formerly the Reichsratsgebäude) in Vienna is where the two houses of the Parliament of Austria conduct their sessions. The building is located on the Ringstraße boulevard in the first district Innere Stadt, near the Hofburg Palace and the Palace of Justice.
The foundation stone was laid in 1874; the building was completed in 1883. The architect responsible for its Greek revival style was Theophil Edvard Hansen. He designed the building holistically, each element harmonizing with the others and was therefore also responsible for the interior decoration, such as statues, paintings, furniture, chandeliers, and numerous other elements. Hansen was honored by Emperor Franz Joseph with the title of Freiherr (Baron) after its completion. One of the building's most famous features is the Pallas Athena fountain in front of the main entrance, built by Hansen from 1898 to 1902 and a notable Viennese tourist attraction. Following heavy damage and destruction during the Second World War, most of the interior has been restored to its original splendor.
