Peinture murale par l’artiste français Matthieu Pommier au 89 Rue Ferdinand Buisson à Boulogne-sur-Mer.
La fresque de Mathieu Pommier à Boulogne-sur-Mer transforme un mur massif en une réflexion poétique sur la tension entre originalité et standardisation. Inspiré par ses voyages et l'univers symbolique de la pêche, Pommier intègre des éléments maritimes – bateaux, hélices et poissons – dans un intérieur domestique, créant une vision allégorique de la vie portuaire réimaginée à l'intérieur. Cette composition figurative invite le spectateur à contempler la relation entre l'homme et les objets qu'il crée, utilisant le symbolisme pour explorer l'identité dans un monde homogénéisé.

Mural by French artist Matthieu Pommier at 89 Rue Ferdinand Buisson in Boulogne-sur-Mer.
Mathieu Pommier’s mural in Boulogne-sur-Mer transforms a massive wall into a poetic reflection on the tension between originality and standardization. Inspired by his travels and the symbolic world of fishing, Pommier brings maritime elements, boats, propellers, and fish, into a domestic interior, crafting an allegorical vision of port life reimagined indoors. This figurative composition invites viewers to contemplate the relationship between humans and the objects they create, using symbolism to explore identity in a homogenized world.

(I believe these are Gray Toulouse geese, but I'm not certain. A positive i.d. would be great.)
I've been somewhat remiss in commenting on photos the last few days, as I've been out of town. I will be playing catch-up tonight and tomorrow. Please bear with me :)
I guess I’m not a magpie, attracted to shiny things.

This was shot on December 20, the night before winter solstice.
I waited till the last light barely sweeped the horizon and highlighted the details on the waves and pebbles at Larkollen Bay, southern Norway.
My mission was to use the light in a specific way that only the objects just above water surface was lighted, while the body of water itself was cast in shadows.
A tribute to winter solstice you might say ;-)
The winter solstice (vintersolverv) occurs at the instant when the Sun's position in the sky is at it`s greatest angular distance on the other side of the equatorial plane from the observer's hemisphere. This means that from now, the days will be gradually have longer periods of daylight.
Worldwide, interpretation of the event has varied from culture to culture, but most cultures have held a recognition of rebirth, involving holidays, festivals, gatherings, rituals or other celebrations around that time.
The word solstice derives from Latin sol (sun) and sistere (to stand still).
I wish peace and happiness to every living being.

Attachment Object One, Two and Three are a group of images based on rusted metal industrial relics found while digging in the garden, rather beautiful in their simplicity of form and function. They are the cast-offs of previous inhabitants, much like artifacts unearthed during an archaeological excavation. These particular objects were large, sharp nails or tools used to join one material to another. The title of this series is also a metaphor for our infatuation with things, our addiction to outcomes, and the detritus we may unwittingly leave behind.

As for spiritual life: what I object to about “the Spiritual Life” is the fact that it is a part, a section, set off as if it were a whole. It is an aberration to set off our “prayer” etc. from the rest of our existence, as if we were sometimes spiritual, sometimes not. As if we had to resign ourselves to feeling that the unspiritual moments were a dead loss. That is not right at all, and because it is an aberration, it causes an enormous amount of useless suffering.
Our “life in the Spirit” is all-embracing, or should be. First it is the response of faith receiving the word of God, not only as a truth to be believed but as a gift of life to be lived in total submission and pure confidence. . . . From the moment that I obey God in everything, where is my “spiritual life”? It is gone out the window, there is no spiritual life, only God and His word and my total response.
… As for your having defects and still knowing about the life of prayer, well, all I can say is that this is not unusual. I have never met anyone who did not have a lot of defects, and this seems to have relatively little to do with it, provided they are just things in their character which they can’t really help. Such defects are very useful and do a lot for one, if one accepts them rightly. On the other hand there are a lot of defects which we could easily be without if we were not dominated by our environment, and caught as it were in a kind of trap by our own surroundings and our own history.

I have not shot the moon recently so I went for a little drive to see what I could catch. This is just the moon. It has been orange for most of the month with all of the wildfire smoke coming in from northern Ontario.
I would like to plan a shot with some object in its path or beneath it but am not sure what to plan for in my locale where there are not too many notable objects.
They keep on building these sharp, tall objects down the coastline, blocking everyone's sun and the cool sea breeze.. What a shame.

The theme for this Macro Monday is 'Junk'. Fortunately I like keeping small interesting objects. I have no idea what I will do with them, but they seem too good to throw away. Amongst the objects are old watches, badges, military buttons, toys and tactile things I like fiddling with in my fingers, such as pointed shoe toe tacks. But amongst the objects above are my first Seiko watch bought with my first wage packet from building ferro-cement fishing boats. In the box also is a much more sophisticated Seiko LCD digital chronograph, 38 years old now, that was essential for astro navigation. There's an old plastic toy Indian chief. I was always fascinated by Red Indians. I kept some of my father's Royal Signals Officer's silver and brass buttons too. And the shiny bright one is his British Automobile Racing Club badge. It was the Singapore Grand Prix today. It is a little known fact that my father raced in the Singapore Grand Prix back in the 1950's. OK it was a very, very different event in those days but facts are facts.
And now some great dancing. Just watch www.youtube.com/watch?v=dDYN2D4MvOM

What happens when you should focus on yourself and you dream of running away instead?
There's a path to freedom and happiness, or it's just a distant dream?
Build your life with useless little wooden letters.
Fills your thoughts with non-existent words.

China, Beijing,…autumn sunset over the Forbidden City, the “Zǐjinchéng”, in China now it is usually called Gùgōng, is the centre of Beijing. The Palace was for 276 years, 1368 –1644 the Chinese imperial palace from the Ming Dynasty & until the end of the Qing Dynasty, established in 1636 & ruling China from 1644 to 1912.
Built from 1406 to 1420, was it the home to twenty-four Chinese emperors, from the Ming dynasty & 1420 until the end of the Qing dynasty before the abdication of Puyi in 1912. The Palace served as the home of emperors, their family circle, as well as the ceremonial & political centre of Chinese government for over 500 years.
The 980 buildings complex with officially 9.999 rooms, as a room is considered the space between four pillars. The palace represents traditional Chinese impressive architecture, it influenced cultural & architectural developments in East Asia.
The whole complex was built without a nail or a screw only with dowels & interlacing, the general renovation which started in 2002 is done with same technics & craftsmanship as in past hundreds of years & will need a couple of more years, by the year 2020, 85% by 2020 to be finalized & open to the public. During the imperial centuries it was forbidden to build any house higher than the Palace buildings, hence during thunderstorms it was the main object in Beijing to be hit by lightning
After the establishment of the People's Republic of China in 1949, some damage was done to the Forbidden City as the country was flounced up in revolutionary fanaticism during the Cultural Revolution. However, further destruction was prevented when Ordered by Mao Zedong, the Premier Zhou Enlai, sent an army battalion to guard the Forbidden City to prevent further devastation.
Zhou Enlai was the first Premier of the People's Republic of China, Mao Zedong was the Chairman, founding father & intellectual leader of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China.
The Imperial Palace, built in only 14 years from 1406 to 1420, is a rectangle covering 720,000m2 with 961 mtr from north to south & 753 mtr from east to west. Crossing the Forbidden City through to the Tiananmen Gate, which is decorated with a portrait of Mao Zedong, the forecourt & the Meridian Gate to the north gate on Jingshan Hill it is a length of slightly more than 1,5 km. The Forbidden City is enclosed by a 7,9 mtr high & 6 mtr wide defensive wall, which has a circumference of 3,430km, surrounded by a 52 mtr wide ditch.
The Forbidden City is documented as one of the most important five palaces in the world, with an area of 72ha it is the largest & ancient palatial structure in the world
The palace is 960 mtr long & 750 mtr wide, has formally 9,999 rooms, a room being the space between four pillars. The Forbidden City is enclosed by an almost 8 mtr-high defensive wall, which has a circumference of 3,430km.
Since 1925, the Forbidden City has been under the charge of the Palace Museum, whose extensive collection of artwork & artefacts were built upon the imperial collections of the Ming & Qing dynasties.
Approximately 15 million tourists visit the palace every year.
About 25% of the museum's former collection is since the Chinese Civil War located in the National Palace Museum in Taipei, both museums descend from the same institution.
