A farm near Llyn Brenig yesterday. I love the little stone walls, not as much as I love barbed wire but close :-)
A rain wet Going to the Sun Highway in Glacier National Park runs through the forest along McDonald Creek. Completed in 1932, the spectacular, 50 mile long Going-to-the-Sun Road bisects the park east to west. The paved two-lane highway spans the width of Glacier National Park and crosses the Continental Divide at 6,646-foot-high Logan Pass. It passes large glacial lakes and cedar forests in the lower valleys; canyons and cliffs; culminating at the windswept alpine tundra atop the pass. Scenic viewpoints and pullouts line the road offering dramatic views and photo opportunities.
The road is nationally significant for its design and monumental engineering accomplishments. The original roadbed, bridges, tunnels, culverts, retaining walls, and guard walls were built in the “NPS Rustic” style. Individually, these structures are often significant examples of period engineering and design philosophy; collectively, they comprise a vital, integral component of the road’s unique character. Most of these structures were designed to harmonize with the roadway setting by using native materials and by blending with landforms as much as possible.The Going-To-The-Sun Road is a National Historic Landmark, is included in the National Register of Historic Places and is a National Historic Civil Engineering Landmark.
“Comme elles tombent bien ! - Dans ce trajet si court de la branche à la terre - Comme elles savent mettre une beauté dernière - Et malgré leur terreur de pourrir sur le sol - Veulent que cette chute ait la grâce d’un vol !” (De Edmond Rostand / Cyrano de Bergerac)
“Cadono le foglie – disse Cyrano con una strana intonazione nella voce – Come vengono giù dolcemente! Nel loro breve viaggio dal ramo alla terra pare che vogliano creare un ultimo attimo di bellezza, e pure nel terrore di marcire al suolo danno alla loro caduta la leggera grazia del volo.” (Edmond Rostand)
This secluded oasis exudes an enchanting quietude that envelops you, the viewer, in a cocoon of serenity. Here, the rhythmic lullaby of the waves harmonizes with the gentle rustle of leaves from the ancient tree of life, creating a symphony of nature's soothing melodies.
The bumblebee dances among the blooming thistles,
its lively buzz harmonizing with the hues of nature’s palette !!

Hope u like this newest addition
♥♥ thank you!!!
An unforgettable experience. The Canada geese were flying across this lake, the place was quiet and the mist was spectacular. Very cold, and humid, but I didn't care much about it...
"When the morning sunrise
Becomes a magic show Before your very eyes
And all the sounds of life Begin to harmonize
You hear a song of hope Surround your senses
And feel the promise of A brand new kind of world..."

title of a Bob Dylan tune

Dedicated to my good friend Mike ! a.k.a. MJC
Relationships of ownership
They whisper in the wings
To those condemned to act accordingly
And wait for succeeding kings
And I try to harmonize with songs
The lonesome sparrow sings
There are no kings inside the Gates of Eden
The foreign sun, it squints upon
A bed that is never mine
As friends and other strangers
From their fates try to resign
Leaving men wholly, totally free
To do anything they wish to do but die
And there are no trials inside the Gates of Eden
Bob Dylan . Gates of Eden
You may have heard 7 "church modes" of music - Ionian, Dorian, Phrygian, Lydian, Mixolydian, Aeolian and Locrian. Some of these
names refer to ancient civilizations of Anatolia.
Today, only two modes - Ionian & Aeolian (natural major and minor) are in common use in western mainstream music. "Classical music" is mostly based on these two scales as they are the most stable ones in terms of "harmony".
Western "ear" is mostly accustomed to those two scales of music. So, a music piece in one of other five modes may sound awkward or unpleasant.
Anyway... what happened to other five modes?
We still use other modes of music here in Anatolia (Turkey) and Greece. Traditional music makes use of other 5 modes. You may find many examples of those 5 modes in Traditional Anatolian, Greek music and some in Spanish music.
Folk music mostly originates from people who were not 'taught' music, and so may not have been aware of the 'rules' of "classical harmony". Hence use of a wider selection of scales and ancient modes survive in this type of music.
In this photo, I captured one of the performer of this type of music. His nickname is "Kederi" - which means "affected
by or full of woe". He sings his own poems / lyrics accompanied by "Saz", a common musical instrument in Anatolia / Turkey.
Examples of this type of music:
Here, recently I tried to harmonize a traditional song "Katibim" in classical music style. soundcloud.com/mustafa-karaoglu/katibim-uskudara-gider-iken and Years ago, Boney M used the theme of this old piece in their song "Rasputin" www.youtube.com/watch?v=kvDMlk3kSYg
Oi Oi Mupare www.youtube.com/watch?v=5lEk8MTw7-U
Here, pure example of traditional music from Neşet Ertaş - a prominent Turkish ashiq / ozan

First United Church
(c. 1894) 151 Lakeshore Road W.
The earlier church on the site, which was built in 1845, was relocated and a portion of the present building was built in 1894. Formerly the Port Credit Methodist Church, this building became an incorporated chapel of the First United Church in 1925. It had been the third meeting place for Port Credit’s Methodists, and was originally constructed of red brick. New additions and an extension were added in 1942 and 1950 respectively, and the entire church was sheathed in cut stone to harmonize the exterior. The original portion of the church, now missing its original tower, fronts onto Lakeshore Road, while the 1950 extension is home to First United Church.
This mesmerizing stone belongs to the tradition of Dream Stones, featuring a mineral composition that creates evocative natural patterns. With translucent white layers intertwined with dark inclusions, it reveals dreamlike landscapes, as if nature itself had painted mystical scenes onto its surface.
In Chinese culture, such stones were considered windows into inner reflection, harmonizing the human mind with the forces of nature. Comparable to the Italian pietra paesina, this rock has been shaped over millions of years by tectonic movements and environmental influences, transforming into an object of contemplation and inspiration.
Through its unique textures and the interplay of light and shadow, the stone becomes a miniature of a larger universe—a manifestation of the Taoist principle of harmony between humanity and nature. Each viewer can discover a different story within it, allowing the imagination to wander through the depths of time and creation. Lucid Dreams www.imj.org.il/en/exhibitions/lucid-dreams
The Piazza Salimbeni is a prominent square in central Siena, Region of Tuscany, Italy. It is notable for still housing the offices of one of the first banking houses in Europe, the Banca Monte dei Paschi di Siena. It is surrounded clockwise starting from north by the following palaces: Palazzo Tantucci Rocca or Palazzo Salimbeni Palazzo Spannocchi The palace facades were harmonized to a neo-gothic-style during the nineteenth century by the architect Giuseppe Partini. In the center of the square is the statue of Sallustio Bandini, a Sienese priest and one of the first Italian economists, sculpted by Tito Sarrocchi. —- Wikipedia

The Rotonde Lenôtre Salons, chaired by charm and refinement, can harmonize with all types of decorations to make room for the magic of these precious moments.
A true architectural masterpiece of the Belle Epoque, the Rotunda was formerly the dining room of the former Bristol Hotel. Covered by a dome flooding it with light, this majestic circular building is now listed in the supplementary inventory of Historic Monuments.
Ideally located 8 km from Nice and 10 km from the center of Monaco, La Rotonde de Lenôtre occupies a privileged place in Beaulieu-sur-Mer where sea and mountains come together in a paradisiacal setting. Overlooking the marina, the Rotonde Lenôtre lounges offer breathtaking views of the sea and its palm-fringed shores.
Located on the north side, the Gate of the Conception leads to the courtyard of orange trees. Completed in 1887, this doorway seamlessly matches the Gothic style of the Cathedral. Its façade features a depiction of Jesus as a priest with his apostles. Despite being added later, it harmonizes beautifully with the building’s historic architecture.
"You move like dust in the sunlight
Hear the waves and you harmonize."
On Usedom, I was on the road by bike and could just stop to photograph. My strengths are not necessarily in nature photography, quiet and pleasant scenes I discover but still. Musically, we remain a little in the chill dance area.

Capturing the ethereal beauty of Praia Três Castelos in Portugal, this captivating photograph showcases the mesmerizing allure of long exposure photography. Taken at the end of the day, when the sun gracefully sinks below the horizon, the image transports viewers to a realm of tranquility and serenity. The artful play of light and motion through the extended exposure reveals the interplay of soft waves gently caressing the sandy shore, casting an enchanting spell on the entire scene. The vibrant hues of the setting sun paint the sky with a myriad of warm colors, harmonizing perfectly with the deepening shadows and silhouettes of the distant cliffs. This photograph is a testament to the natural wonders found at Praia Três Castelos, where time seemingly slows down, inviting contemplation and appreciation of the breathtaking landscapes that nature so generously bestows.
South at sunset, enhancing my surrounding (photographically) to harmonize my experience with it. Been reading a bit about feng shui. I realize it relates more to furniture arrangement, but it also translates to English "wind-water". Bending rules is fun!
As I stand before the watercolor painting created using digital tools using one of my own pictures as model, I am instantly transported to the quaint and picturesque streets of Brugge, Belgium. The artist's skillful brushstrokes have beautifully captured the essence of this historic city, and my eyes are drawn to a particular scene in the heart of the old town.
In the center of the painting, nestled among cobblestone streets and surrounded by charming modern buildings, stands a remarkably old house. Its weathered facade exudes a sense of history, revealing the passage of time etched onto its walls. The centuries have gently worn away its vibrant colors, leaving behind a muted palette of soft pastels, harmonizing with the surrounding architecture.
The house, once a residence of the past, has undergone a remarkable transformation. It has been lovingly repurposed into a chocolate store, its purpose changed, but its soul preserved. Windows adorn the ground floor, proudly displaying the mouthwatering creations within.
Through the windows, I catch glimpses of the delightful confections that await inside. Rows of handmade chocolates, elegantly arranged and tempting passersby, create a mesmerizing display. The store's interior seems to emanate a warm glow, inviting visitors to step inside and experience the enchantment within.
The artist's attention to detail is truly remarkable. They have skillfully captured the intricate architectural features of the old house. The steeply pitched roof, adorned with weathered tiles, adds character and charm.
The painting depicts a bustling scene around the chocolate store. Tourists and locals alike pause to admire the old house-turned-store, their faces alive with wonder and anticipation. The sound of laughter and conversation drifts through the air, mingling with the aromas of chocolate and the soft melody of distant church bells.
As I continue to gaze at the watercolor painting, I am filled with a sense of nostalgia and wonder. It encapsulates the essence of Brugge—the harmonious blend of history and modernity, the preservation of heritage in the face of changing times. It reminds me of the beauty that can emerge when the past and present come together, transforming a once-forgotten house into a sanctuary of chocolate delights in the heart of a city that holds its memories dear.

"Is not this a true autumn day? Just the still melancholy that I love - that makes life and nature harmonize."
- George Eliot, 1841 -
Strasbourg Cathedral (officially theCathédrale Notre-Dame de Strasbourg) is quite a sight to behold. French poet and playwright Paul Claudel called the Gothic edifice a "pinky-red angel hovering over the city." Goethe declared it to be "composed of a thousand harmonizing details" and "like the most sublime, wide-spreading tree of God, proclaiming the glory of the Lord."

As the sun dips below the horizon, casting a soft hue over the tranquil sea, a sense of serenity envelops the landscape. The lighthouse stands tall and steadfast against the fading light, its beam a guiding presence for ships navigating the twilight waters. Gentle waves lap against the shore, harmonizing with the soft rustle of the breeze through the coastal grasses. This idyllic scene, where the calming beauty of nature meets the reassuring safety of the lighthouse, creates a perfect blend of peace and protection, a timeless sanctuary for both seafarers and dreamers alike.
The sun began its slow descent in the sky, casting a warm golden glow upon the breathtaking landscape of Patagonia. As the scene unfolded, a pristine lake dominated the foreground, its calm waters gently lapping against the rocky shoreline. The crystal-clear lake acted as a mirror, reflecting the beauty of the surrounding scenery with stunning precision.
To the left of the frame, lush vegetation thrived, creating a vibrant tapestry of greens. Towering trees stood proud, their branches adorned with emerald leaves that swayed gently in the cool breeze. Sunlight filtered through the canopy, illuminating a small patch of the foliage and infusing it with a radiant glow.
In the distance, majestic mountains rose dramatically against the horizon. Their peaks were shrouded in a dark cloak, providing a striking contrast against the lighter tones of the landscape. Low-hanging clouds played hide-and-seek with the mountaintops, lending an air of mystique and grandeur to the scene. The clouds' fluffy formations danced across the sky, stretching as far as the eye could see.
A dense cloud cover dominated the upper reaches of the atmosphere, hinting at the possibility of an impending storm. The clouds swirled and swelled, creating an atmosphere of awe and anticipation. Despite their foreboding appearance, they added an ethereal beauty to the scenery, softening the harshness of the landscape below.
As the sun's rays kissed the water's surface, a mesmerizing spectacle unfolded. The lake transformed into a canvas of captivating colors. On the left side of the reflection, a vibrant shade of green painted the water, mirroring the lush vegetation nearby. On the right side, a deep shade of blue emerged, capturing the vastness and depth of the lake. The colors merged seamlessly, creating a beautiful divide that mirrored the scene above.
The clouds above were mirrored in the water's reflection, their intricate patterns and delicate wisps captured with precision. The calmness of the lake added a sense of tranquility to the scene, as if time stood still in this pristine corner of the world.
As the scene unfolded, it was impossible not to feel a sense of wonder and awe. The natural beauty of Patagonia was on full display, with its lush vegetation, majestic mountains, and captivating reflections. This was a place where nature's artistry was showcased in every detail, where the elements harmonized to create a scene that was both serene and awe-inspiring.

The architect Giovanni Battista Schellino lived from 1818 to 1905. Not only the town Dogliani, but also the Langhe and all of Piedmont are scattered with splinters of the genius of this eclectic artist, who worked according to canons that were foreign to those of his time, giving Dogliani an absolutely monumental face.
Schellino, an extravagant "urban planner" and self-taught architect grew up in Spina, a tiny hamlet in the Dogliani countryside. He redesigned his town in a blaze of neoclassical domes and neo-Gothic spires, medieval towers and Wagnerian settings, giving it an architectural personality that has no counterpart in the Langhe.
The entrance to the Municipal Cemetery of Dogliani (realized between 1855 and 1867) is certainly the most significant intervention, the most imaginative and exclusive reinterpretation of Gothic style produced by Schellino.
With its marvelous pointed spires, which harmonize and draw inspiration from the pyramidal tips of poplars and cypresses facing the sky, the monumental facade expresses a sort of "religious aesthetic".
The entrance is made of handmade bricks, rough and dark, with mortar joints, alternated with crosses and wrought iron gates, which animate and enrich the whole complex, shaggy and sharp, unpredictable and mysterious at the same time.
Inside, in addition to Schellino's modest tomb, lie the remains of the President of the Republic Luigi Einaudi, a native of Dogliani.

Composed so that the wires run vertically and are bent into a zigzag pattern so that each "zig" hooks with the wire immediately on one side and each "zag" with the wire immediately on the other. When properly harmonized create a symphonic arrangement.
An experiment in Photoshop Beta, using their latest "harmonize" tool. The starter image was simply the couch in the room, with a table to its right. Everything else is a PNG image snipped out of various paintings - mainly by Norman Rockwell. The two little girls are from a painting by William Adolphe Bouguereau. Each PNG image is then harmonized with whatever else is in the painting/picture. Another excellent addition to Photoshop!

Le bâtiment Richard Meier, d'un blanc éclatant, se dresse au cœur de la nature environnante. Que les visiteurs se réjouissent : là où l'art et le nouveau bâtiment du musée s'harmonisent, ils seront les gagnants. Ici, pas de compétition pour occuper la vedette, mais un lieu empreint d'art, un lieu qui révèle sa vraie nature et offre un écrin aux œuvres de l'artiste-mécène du musée ainsi qu'à l'art contemporain.
« Mon architecture ouverte et transparente crée des transitions fluides entre l'intérieur et l'extérieur et reflète le même lien avec la nature que celui exprimé dans les œuvres de Hans Arp. »
En tant que l'un des plus grands architectes de musées internationaux, Richard Meier se réfère dans son architecture aux principes du modernisme classique, un style qui a connu son apogée au début du XXe siècle. Cette époque a également façonné l'œuvre du duo d'artistes Hans Arp et Sophie Taeuber-Arp. Le bâtiment de Meier est baigné de lumière et semble emmener les visiteurs hors de leur quotidien. Ici, les œuvres trouvent un espace propice à leur épanouissement.
The dazzling white Richard Meier Building stands out in the heart of the surrounding nature. Visitors can rejoice: wherever art and the new museum building harmonize, they will be the winners. Here, there's no competition for the spotlight, but a place imbued with art, a place that reveals its true nature and provides a showcase for the works of the museum's artist-patron as well as contemporary art.
"My open and transparent architecture creates seamless transitions between indoors and outdoors and reflects the same connection with nature expressed in the works of Hans Arp."
As one of the greatest international museum architects, Richard Meier refers in his architecture to the principles of classical modernism, a style that reached its peak in the early 20th century. This era also shaped the work of the artist duo Hans Arp and Sophie Taeuber-Arp. Meier's building is bathed in light and seems to transport visitors away from their everyday lives. Here, the works find a space conducive to their development.

Posé dans une ambiance si particulière que je suis passé devant lui sans le voir précisément sur son support... à l'ombre et immobile il harmonise la couleur de ses ailles aux couleurs de son environnement.

Posed in such a special atmosphere that I passed in front of him without seeing him precisely on his support... In the shade and motionless it harmonizes the color of its wings with the colors of its environment.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In posa in un'atmosfera così speciale che sono passata davanti a lui senza vederlo esattamente sul suo appoggio... All'ombra e immobile armonizza il colore delle sue ali con i colori del suo ambiente.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Posó en un ambiente tan especial que pasé frente a él sin verlo precisamente en su apoyo... En la sombra e inmóvil armoniza el color de sus alas con los colores de su entorno.

Is not this a true autumn day? Just the still melancholy that I love—that makes life and nature harmonize.
George Eliot
This historic home was built in 1910 by esteemed architect Charles Page for Fannie Badger Bailey and her husband, Dr. Edward Bailey. The Craftsman architecture of this home resembles the building style begun by architects Greene & Greene of Pasadena, California, during the Arts and Crafts era in the early 1900s. Their influence on architect Charles Page is seen in the building's broad porches, series of gable roofs, deep projecting eaves with exposed rafter tails and porte cochere.
The home exemplifies the Craftsman ideal by using local materials such as the river rocks on the chimneys and porch columns, the structural timberwork, and the interior long-leaf wood paneling, beams, and flooring. Open porches, casement windows, and warm natural shades of green and brown harmonize with the outdoor landscape. The Bailey-Houston House was designated a City of Austin Historic Landmark in 1987 and has been beautifully restored by the current owners/architect.
Listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1990, the Hyde Park Historic District includes an eclectic mixture of architectural styles, from late 19th-century Queen Anne and Classical Revival homes to 20th-century bungalows and ranch houses. Additionally, many of the houses and buildings in Hyde Park have been designated City of Austin Historic Landmarks and Texas Historic Landmarks.

The weekend comes to this town
Seven days too soon
For the ones who have to make up
What we break up of their rules
Well I saw Captain Kidd on Sunset
Tell his boys they're in command
While Chino danced a tango
With a broomstick in his hand
He said: It's alright (alright) if you have a good time
It's alright (alright) if you want to cross that line
To break on through to the other side
Let it rock, let it go
You can't stop a fire burning out of control
Let it rock, let it go
With the night you're on the loose
You got to let it rock
С усталым, но воодушевленным настроением наша группа фотографов поднялась на вершину перевала, ухабистая горная тропа сменилась на удивление гладкой магистралью, которая элегантно змеилась через высокогорные луга. Настал золотой час, окутав мир вокруг нас теплыми объятиями, как будто само солнце спустилось, чтобы попрощаться с землей на ночь. Небо было усеяно колоссальными облаками, которые мерцали янтарным оттенком, нежно обнимая заснеженные вершины главного хребта. Несмотря на наше обещание ехать без остановки, непреодолимое очарование момента заставило нас остановиться и впитать великолепие, раскрывшееся перед нами. Одни фотографировали орлов, парящих высоко в небе, в то время как другие снимали красоту ледяных вершин крупным планом. Но среди этой грандиозной картины я не мог не заметить оранжевый грузовик, крошечное пятнышко на бесконечном просторе, мчащийся, словно движимый самим сердцебиением гор. Возможно, даже сейчас я не смогу дать ответ, почему я выбрал его в качестве объекта своей фотографии. Скорее всего потому, что выглядел он там совершенно нелепо и чуждо, но тогда он казался кометой, промчавшейся через долину, оставив после себя лишь пыльное облачко.
Время, отведенное на эту остановку, истекло, и все неохотно потянулись в машины. Двигатель взревел, и мы продолжили наш спешный и прерывистый путь к закатной съемке. Шины напевали тихую колыбельную, которая гармонировала с шепотом ветра, доносящегося сквозь приоткрытое окно. Дорога становилась ровнее и гладкий асфальт позволял нам ускориться, с полной уверенностью в том, что впереди нас ждут еще более захватывающие виды. Наш разговор становился тише, прерываемый лишь редкими восклицаниями, когда мы в очередной раз сталкивались с потрясающими видами, каждый из которых был великолепнее предыдущего. А когда красота становилась беспощадной, мы с вынужденным сожалением нарушали данное себе обещание.
With weary yet exhilarated spirits, our band of photographers crested the apex of the pass, the rugged path giving way to a surprisingly smooth thoroughfare that snaked elegantly through the high mountain meadows. The golden hour had arrived, casting a warm and gentle embrace upon the landscape, as if the very sun itself had descended to say the earth goodbye for the night. The vast sky was strewn with colossal clouds that shimmered with an amber hue, tenderly hugging the snow-capped peaks of the main ridge. Despite our earlier vow to push onward without pause, the irresistible allure of the moment compelled us to slow our pace and drink in the splendor before us. Some took pictures of eagles soaring high in the sky, while others noticed the beauty of the icy peaks and took close-up photos of them. Yet amidst this grand tableau, I couldn't help but notice an orange truck, a tiny speck in the vast wilderness, racing as if propelled by the very heartbeat of the mountains. Perhaps, even now I cannot give an answer as to why I chose him as the subject of my photograph. Most likely because he looked completely ridiculous and alien, but then he seemed like a comet that had rushed across the valley, leaving behind only a dusty cloud.
The time allotted for this stop expired, and everyone reluctantly made their way into the cars. The engine roared to life and we continued our hurried and choppy journey to the sunset shoot. The tires humming a soft lullaby that harmonized with the whispers of the wind, coming through the half-open window. The road became smoother and the smooth asphalt allowed us to accelerate, with complete confidence in that more breathtaking views await us ahead. Our conversation grew quieter, punctuated by the occasional exclamation as we encountered breathtaking vistas, each more magnificent than the last. And when beauty became merciless, we, with forced regret, broke the promise we had made to ourselves.
Bei dieser Aufnahme gefällt mir wie gut die Amseline farblich mit den heruntergefallenen Blättern harmoniert. Sie guckt etwas streng. Ich verstehe sie. Da geht mal einer vor ihr auf die Knie und dann wird es statt eines Antrags - nur ein Foto... 😋
In this shot, I like how well the colour of the blackbird harmonizes with the colours of the fallen leaves. She looks a bit stern. I feel with her.... Finally someone gets on his knees in front of her and then instead of a proposal it becomes - just a photo... 😋
Sometimes I'm at my most content in nature, especially in a landscape with flowing water, characterful trees and stones.
A young(er) couple sat downstream as I made this and as the smell of cannabis drifted my way, I made a point of not breathing too deeply as I'd already had the munchies earlier that day.
