This piece of art golden statue was created by the Japanese artist ‘Takashi Murakami’ and placed for display at the front yard of the ‘Royal Palace of Versailles, Paris’ (2007 ~ 2010).
Takashi Murakami is a Japanese contemporary artist. He works in fine arts media as well as commercial and is known for blurring the line between high and low arts. He coined the term "superflat," which describes both the aesthetic characteristics of the Japanese artistic tradition and the nature of postwar Japanese culture and society, and is also used for Murakami's artistic style and other Japanese artists he has influenced.

MYANMAR, Burma - Teakholz-Shwe-Yan-Pyay Kloster in Nyaung Shwe, dem Tor zum Inle-See.
Das Kloster wurde Ende des 19. Jahrhunderts erbaut. Das Hauptgebäude besteht vollständig aus Teakholz und fällt durch seine ovalen Fenster auf. Es wird u. a. zum Schulunterricht für Novizen genutzt. Die Wände im daneben liegenden weiß gestrichenen Steingebäude waren ursprünglich bemalt und mit umfangreichen Glasmosaiken (z. T. mit Hinterglasmalerei) geschmückt, die jedoch nicht gut erhalten sind.

Twickelervaart
De elf kilometer lange vaart was in de 18e eeuw nodig om onder andere textielproducten en eikenhout via de Regge, Vecht, Zwarte Water en Zuiderzee te kunnen afvoeren. De komst van betere verbindingen in de 20e eeuw betekende het einde van de scheepvaart. De kaden werden beplant en de sluizen die het hoogteverschil overbrugden, raakten in verval en werden vervangen door eenvoudige stuwen. Sinds 2000 heeft een aantal ingrijpende aanpassingen plaatsgevonden. De Twickelervaart heeft nu het karakter van een beek gekregen.

Wildflowers are a passion of mine and when I see a new one such as this type of milkweed, I get all excited. I found it in a woodland setting and it grew quite low to the ground. The tiny white and pastel pink blooms are quite a bit smaller than the other milkweeds that I am familiar with. If you look closely, you'll see a few visitors amongst the blooms.
Thank you for your visits and comments, they're very much appreciated. Have a great day!

Smile on Saturday - Egg-cellent
I remembered I had some egg photos from awhile back that I never processed.
Handy when the memory kicks in.

……One for Sliders Sunday - a before & after is available for the interested! I’m often singing the praises of Phoneography - in particular the iPhone but I’m aware other phones cut the mustard too! Many now offer the RAW facility which allows greater flexibility to ’tweak’ and get the best out of a shot - or desirable ‘look’ you are trying to attain. All editing done was in Lightroom and the unedited shot is in the first comment box. The Shell framed oval window was spotted in the garden at Packwood house (N/Trust). Alan:-) HSS………..
