Interaction between the seawater, sunlight and the sand/mud on the beach during low tide. Just a SOOC.
Baby African Bush Elephants, scientifically known as Loxodonta africana, are incredibly adorable and endearing creatures. They are born weighing around 200-250 pounds (90-115 kilograms) and stand about 2.5 to 3 feet (76-91 centimeters) tall at the shoulders.
These young elephants are highly social animals and rely on close bonds with their family members for protection and learning. They are under the constant care and guidance of their mothers and other experienced female elephants within the herd. Baby elephants stay close to their mothers, learning essential survival skills, such as finding water, identifying edible plants, and understanding social behaviors within the herd.
Play is an essential aspect of their early development. They engage in playful activities, such as mock charging, splashing in water, and chasing birds or other small animals. Through play, they hone their motor skills and social interactions, preparing them for adulthood.
Baby African Bush Elephants are heartwarming creatures to observe in the wild, and their presence contributes to the rich tapestry of life in the African savannah.
"For, to be a stranger is naturally a very positive relation;
it is a specific form of interaction."

our garden, they are so tasty.
i hope everyone is doing great ♥
happy sliderssunday!
One of my abstract works I painted in the last few days. This is composed of two different ones. I'm very grateful for the suggestions and support from my Flickr friend Andrew.
Zooming in on my latest origami tessellation 'Interaction'.
And because it is Sliders Sunday, I did it a color-treatment.
HSS everybody!

"Interaction", my final and altered version of "Dance", folded with thinner paper. Almost all the different forms are 'moving', no escape possible ;-)
I found a nice quote by Jodi Aman for this tessellation: “Everyone we interact with becomes a part of us.”
For some reason this tessellation doesn't want to be flat, (it has a slight convex), I have to find a new place to store it ;-)
The other side "Rotor" looks like this.
Folded with 'Anett paper', named after a dear origami-friend from Germany, who provided me this paper. It is indeed lovely paper for this kind of tessellations, so I am grateful to her ;-)).
Because this paper is whitish, I decided to go for a black and white version.

This is how my origami tessellation 'Hexagon Love' looks like after the altering process.
It is one of my favorite creations so far and its name is "Interaction".
Here you can see a more detailed view.

In „Interaction of Color“ schreibt Josef Albers: „In visual perception a color is almost never seen as it really is – as it physically is. This fact makes color the most relative medium in art.“
Stelle mir einen Vortrag von Josef Albers am Pult des Raumes meines vorherigen Bildes vor und nicht nur die Stühle sind besetzt, der Raum ist voller begeisterter interessierter Menschen ...
denn alles Gleiche, was man in verschiedenen Kontexte stellt, bekommt durch die Umgebung einen neue, andere Bedeutung ... warum soll es bei Farbe anders sein ... und Rot hatte für Albers immer eine besondere Bedeutung ... deshalb ist seinen roten Werken aus "Homage to the Square" ein ganzer Raum gewidmet und die Komplimentärfarbe ist zufällig draußen ...
Meisterwerk(e) der Farbanalyse
»Wenn jemand ›Rot‹ sagt (als Bezeichnung einer Farbe) und wenn 50 Personen zuhören, darf man erwarten, dass 50 verschiedene Rot in ihrem Bewusstsein auftauchen. Man darf sicher sein, dass all diese Rot verschieden sind.«
Bereits an diesen beiden ersten Sätzen, mit dem das Meisterwerk der Kunsterziehung "Interaction of Color" beginnt, wird klar, wie komplex die Wirkung von Farbe sein kann sowie deren visuelle Wahrnehmung.
Erstmals 1963 bei Yale University Press als limitierte Siebdruckausgabe mit 150 Farbtafeln erschienen, ging dieser Text ab 1971 als Taschenbuch mit wenigen Farbtafeln in Druck.
Seither wurden mehr als eine Viertelmillion Exemplare in verschiedenen Ausgaben verkauft. Dieses einflussreiche Handbuch und Lehrmittel für Künstler, Dozenten und Studenten erscheint nun, in einer aktualisierten Übersetzung und deutlich erweiterten Ausgabe.
Neu eingeleitet von Heinz Liesbrock sind zudem rund 60 illustrierende Farbstudien abgebildet, mit denen Albers wichtige Prinzipien und Gesetzmäßigkeiten der Farbe und ihrer Wirkung demonstriert.
Dieses Handbuch bietet nach wie vor ein unentbehrliches Wissen für alle, die sich mit visueller Kommunikation beschäftigen möchten.
JOSEF ALBERS (1888, Bottrop–1976, New Heaven, Connecticut) war als Künstler, Pädagoge und Farbtheoretiker ein Pionier der künstlerischen Moderne des 20. Jahrhunderts. Er ist bekannt für seine umfassende Werkserie Homage to the Square (1950–1976). Albers lehrte am Bauhaus, am Black Mountain College und an der Yale University.
J. A. was a German-born artist and educator. The first living artist to be given a solo shows at MoMA and at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, he taught at the Bauhaus and Black Mountain College, headed Yale University's department of design, and is considered one of the most influential teachers of the visual arts in the twentieth century.

Certainly interesting and exciting to view the interaction of these owls as one would do close flyovers upsetting the other. It didn't last long and other than a few pulled feathers no damage was done.
Thank you for viewing.

Several elephant herds came to drink near a bridge across the river in Madikwe Game Reserve, South Africa.
We had a great time observing their interaction especially as there were calfs of different ages.

One of the things that I like when I'm out in nature are the various interactions that happen, and because often I'm the only adult in the stream playing with rocks, that tends to make people curious, and today was no exception.
This stone sculpture came together in only about five minutes, with a bit of time deliberating whether or not there should be a third stone to top it off, only to then decide that simplicity is the key after all.
This is Anne who is also a painter and textiles artist who I enjoyed some time talking with today.
jones and chai
with 6 dogs we love to watch interactions.
chai the smooth saluki loves little old jones the basenji best and constantly wants to play with him. neck bites and play bows.
jones is overwhelmed. he runs and either hides beside/behind leon or me, or sits on the back of a chair where chai won't get him.
[the other interaction chai has is with marina the podenco...he bosses her around.]
chai and jones both sleep with me when chai wants to.
the other night I lifted the covers and the two were sleeping snuggled next to each other.

Looking in to the hot, Summer evening sun. And towards an industrious spider casting a delicate, but wide web, to catch her dinner.
Back by popular demand, not only because of the great photo but also because surfing at twilight has hazards one should know about ::-)
Even though the teeth of sharks are made for eating fish and other species with no vertebrae, they can mistake surfers as prey and "test bite" a silhouette or movement of.a surfer or swimmer for natural prey like seals; especially in murky waters or low visibility at twilight.
Also if they are provoked when humans initiate the interaction, such as by grabbing the animal, trying to touch it, or while spearfishing.
There is also the sensationalism of sharks as dangerous with mouths open wide as they swim rapidly, like in the movie Jaws. Instead they do this to force water through their gills to extract oxygen to breathe & survive, like Great Whites and Whale sharks.
When I was 15 before I had a surfboard, I was 'out the back' with the boardies at the point, with long flippers and a hand board, waiting for a big wave to catch. When going up one wave I looked to shore and saw many people a long way away racing out of the water, so I guessed the shark alarm had gone off.
I wasn't worried until my left leg cramped in the deep water. Not good, either I thought I was going to drown as I let my left long flipper go, and watched it sink deep, so as to better survive; and also to stop my leg from shaking so much. Sharks have an acute sense of hearing for low frequency sounds.
Then suddenly a big body surfer out there passed by and yelled "get on my back son", which I did quickly. As we caught the big wave passing and screamed down it, we saw a big shark swimming rapidly up and down through the water under us.. After that episode, I got into surf boards, like the picture featured above, but have never surfed at twilight.
Finally, I have also suddenly seen big sharks swimming around fast under water, when spear fishing ... and have just backed away slowly not to attract attention; and let go any fish caught as thats what sharks are after, not humans as their teeth are again not made for eating vertebrate backbones. Exciting huh? all the best :-))

A Moment of Quiet Dignity | Isaan, Thailand
Met this gentleman on the grounds of a quiet temple in the Isaan region. When I asked for his portrait, he kindly accepted and stood with this incredibly peaceful, humble posture. A blink of the shutter caught him with his eyes closed, turning a candid travel interaction into a moment of serene contemplation.
