Kunstgewerbemuseum (Museum of Decorative Arts),
Berlin
"Das Kunstgewerbemuseum ist das älteste seiner Art in Deutschland. Es beherbergt weltberühmte Zeugnisse des europäischen Kunsthandwerks und Designs, darunter prunkvolle Reliquiare aus Gold und Edelstein, kostbare Vasen aus Glas oder Porzellan, fein bestickte Kleider, detailreich intarsierte Möbel bis hin zu Klassikern modernen Industriedesigns. (...)
Das Haus am Kulturforum entstand bis 1985 nach den Entwürfen von Rolf Gutbrod, einem der führenden deutschen Architekten der 1960er-Jahre. Kennzeichnend für seine Architektur ist die Sichtbarkeit konstruktiver Elemente. Das Museum ist als "gebaute Landschaft" gedacht und nimmt mit seiner Begrünung Bezug auf den benachbarten Tiergarten. Während das Gebäude nach außen geschlossen wirkt, empfängt es den Eintretenden mit einem offenen Treppenhaus und großzügigen Ausstellungsräumen. (...)
Von 2012 bis 2014 wurde der Gutbrot-Bau vom Architekturbüro Kuehn Malvezzi in weiten Teilen umgestaltet." www.smb.museum/museen-und-einrichtungen/kunstgewerbemuseu...
Little Egret - Egretta garzetta
The little egret (Egretta garzetta) is a species of small heron in the family Ardeidae. The genus name comes from the Provençal French Aigrette, egret a diminutive of Aigron, heron. The species epithet garzetta is from the Italian name for this bird, garzetta or sgarzetta.
It is a white bird with a slender black beak, long black legs and, in the western race, yellow feet. As an aquatic bird, it feeds in shallow water and on land, consuming a variety of small creatures. It breeds colonially, often with other species of water birds, making a platform nest of sticks in a tree, bush or reed bed. A clutch of bluish-green eggs is laid and incubated by both parents. The young fledge at about six weeks of age.
Its breeding distribution is in wetlands in warm temperate to tropical parts of Europe, Africa, Asia, and Australia. A successful colonist, its range has gradually expanded north, with stable and self-sustaining populations now present in the United Kingdom.
It first appeared in the UK in significant numbers in 1989 and first bred in Dorset in 1996
In warmer locations, most birds are permanent residents; northern populations, including many European birds, migrate to Africa and southern Asia to over-winter there. The birds may also wander north in late summer after the breeding season, and their tendency to disperse may have assisted in the recent expansion of the bird's range. At one time common in Western Europe, it was hunted extensively in the 19th century to provide plumes for the decoration of hats and became locally extinct in northwestern Europe and scarce in the south. Around 1950, conservation laws were introduced in southern Europe to protect the species and their numbers began to increase. By the beginning of the 21st century the bird was breeding again in France, the Netherlands, Ireland and Britain. It has also begun to colonise the New World; it was first seen in Barbados in 1954 and first bred there in 1994. The International Union for Conservation of Nature has assessed the bird's global conservation status as being of least concern..
This week's theme for Mosaic Montage Monday was Temporary/Permanent. Autumn's beauty is fleeting, but Swans mate for life. HMMM!
Things are getting slow since the migratory summer breeders have flown south. I did find these four yesterday though.
The top two are American Robin, and Cedar Waxwing (juv) and are migratory songbirds. A few individuals of both species often spend the winter here and can be found in some city parks sustaining themselves on berries. Sometimes Cedar Waxwings can be found travelling with the Bohemian Waxwings that usually arrive later in winter.
I also found my first Pine Grosbeaks of the season. The male is bottom left and the female bottom right. I usually don't see them until around mid-November. Pine Grosbeaks breed north of Alberta, but are wide-spread throughout the province in winter.
They are permanent residents in southern Alaska and most of British Columbia.
I got a sister man she really got a pinhead
She think she kinky but she can't get straight
She say she livin' but I kinda think she's brain dead
Just excess baggage on a late night freight
I really need it, really, really need St. Tropez
I want a tan where the sun, it never shines
I really need it, really, really need St. Tropez
You best believe it that I go to get away

First permanent establishments
In 1635, the first seigneurie was granted on the territory of Cape-Rouge, but revoked the following year by the Company of One Hundred Associates. However, by 1638 Paul Le Jeune, a missionary Jesuit, had noted in The Jesuit Relations the presence of some families in the valley.[1] Between 1647 and 1652, the seigneuries of Maur, on the west, and Gaudarville, in the east, were established on the territory. From that moment, based on taxable citizens, the settlement on the lands of Cap-Rouge are established. The village formed is served by the parishes of Ancienne-Lorette in (1678) to the north; of Saint-Augustin in (1691) on the west; and of Sainte-Foy (1698) in the east.
Geography
The beach of Plage Jacques Cartier and the cliffs of Cap-Rouge.
The name of Cap-Rouge, meaning "red cape", comes from its cliffs facing the Saint-Lawrence river and made of schist rock bearing a reddish tint. The other main topographic feature of Cap-Rouge is the Rivière du Cap Rouge valley where are concentrated some historic buildings as well the archeological remains of a pottery workshop active from 1860 to 1892. It is believed that until the end of its operations the workshop mainly used imported clay rather than the local one, which has a rather red hue.
The Cap-Rouge area is located to the south of the Canadian Shield and Laurentian Mountains, at the confluence of the geological regions of the Saint Lawrence Lowlands and of the northern Appalachians. It mostly sits at the western foot of the Quebec promontory, in the way of the Logan's Line - an inactive fracture in the Earth's crust first documented by Sir William Edmond Logan.

When one travels, ones images end up in many different places. While trying to transfer everything onto my desktop and back-up storage I noticed this image left open in my software before I left last year for Tucson. I love this gate. It is in the permanent collection at the Seattle Art Museum. Situated against a wall, the many gallery lights create wonderful shadows.

Closed permanently in 1994, this 1926-built 500 seat theater is currently undergoing renovation. At present the metal facing above the marquee has been removed to expose the original architecture.
The Polly Woodside is permanently sited at South Wharf in Melbourne.
Polly Woodside is a Belfast-built, three-masted, iron-hulled barque, preserved in Melbourne, Australia, and forming the central feature of the South Wharf precinct. The ship was originally built in Belfast by William J. Woodside and was launched in 1885. Polly Woodside is typical of thousands of smaller iron barques built in the last days of sail, intended for deep water trade around the world and designed to be operated as economically as possible.

Permanent guest in our apartment, and as a cat food gourmet appreciated the treats we brought from Germany. The landlady found him as little cat with disabilities in the forest ("il bosco"), took him home and brought him up. Absolutely trusting and cuddly, his handicap makes him even more lovable - quite a little heartbreaker!
Dauergast in unserer Ferienwohnung, wußte als Feinschmecker die mitgebrachten Leckerlis zu schätzen. Die Vermieterin hat ihn als kleine Katze mit Behinderung im Wald ("il bosco") gefunden, mitgenommen und aufgezogen. Total zutraulich und verschmust, seine Behinderung macht ihn noch liebenswürdiger - ein richtiger kleiner Herzensbrecher!
He's always watching.

ALBERTO GARCÍA-ALIX. AUTORRETRATO
EXPOSICIONES
ALBERTO GARCÍA-ALIX."AUTORRETRATO"
La Virreina Centre de la Imatge acoge la primera gran exposición monográfica dedicada a Alberto García-Alix en Barcelona. García-Alix (León, 1956) es uno de los intérpretes más importantes de la fotografía internacional contemporánea. A través de su obra fotográfica, audiovisual y escrita, el autor nos introduce en una dimensión emocional y autorreferencial que convierte todo su trabajo, mirado en conjunto, en un gran autorretrato expandido.
Esta propuesta expositiva, comisariada por Nicolás Combarro, pretende acercarnos a la comprensión de una parte clave de su obra, marcada por el carácter autobiográfico y por el esfuerzo constante de mirarse, de encontrarse consigo mismo a través del ejercicio fotográfico.
La muestra reúne casi setenta obras, entre fotografías y vídeos, que permiten seguir la evolución de la lectura del concepto de autorretrato que García-Alix realiza a lo largo de sus más de treinta años de carrera, trazando una línea que acompaña a la mirada y la vida del autor que se mira y nos mira a través de sus obras, invitándonos a entrar en su particular universo en primera persona.

Gracias maestro
Growing up in Ireland I was permanently cold in the small country town that I grew up in in the 60s/70s. I would literally hug the radiator at the back of the classroom at my convent school looking out the window at the moody rainy sky and dreaming of warmer climes and blue skies. I would skip class and bury my head in books by the convent library heater and read books by the likes of Lawrence Durrell and dreamed of the calm blue mediterranean sky and seas.
As soon as I finished school - I ran out of Ireland , on a one way ticket, to travel and chase the sun and the warmth and ended up choosing Australia - and ultimately Bondi Beach - as the place where I lay my hat. Up until four years ago - pre camera days - it was the summer and the spring that were my seasons.
But now the autumn and the winter have become my favourite - the skies, the weather, the surf , the moodiness, the deserted beaches.
And now...well now, I keep putting off going back to Ireland as I am afraid, if I return, I will not leave . The camera has led me down a path where I now love mist, rain, mood, changing light, stormy wild seas, the empty beaches ...the greens .
It does appear my fine flickr friends that you can take the girl out of the country........but not the country out of the girl ;).

Lake Michigan is the only one located entirely within the United States.
The lake is slightly larger than the country of Croatia.
The first permanent settlement on the Lake Michigan shoreline was made in 1779 at the site of present-day Chicago
Twelve million people live along Lake Michigan's shores.
Apart from specific calls to advertise, and specific things of interest i am on permanent hiatus from Second Life blogging, Second Life in general. 2020 wasn't very kind, and the culture of SL is LITERALLY just becoming even more toxic as the days go by. In order to save myself the hassle i'm just cutting ties and walking off.
Nothing is permanent. Nothing is permanent, not even a radiant flower, the flamboyant paintwork on a luxury car, or our sad emotions.
The only thing that is permanent is Cher.

El casco histórico de la ciudad de Funchal, más conocido como «Zona Velha» (zona vieja), nos presenta el proyecto Puertas Pintadas, que transforma esta zona en una galería de arte permanente.
Este proyecto de arte público pretender dinamizar una de las zonas más emblemáticas del centro funchalense para transformarla en un polo de atracción cultural aún más significativo. La idea es transformar esta área en una galería de arte permanente con la ayuda de artistas invitados que a trabajar en pinturas decorativas en las puertas de las casas, tiendas y otros locales a lo largo de la Rúa de Santa María, convirtiéndolas en obras de arte.
Arte para revalorizar una zona prácticamente abandonada. Esta ha sido la idea de José María Montero expuesta por el fotógrafo Martinho Mendes bajo el nombre de Arte Portas Abertas en el 2010, que le han llevado a ser uno de los responsables de haber “lavado la cara” a la zona Velha do Funchal, capital de Madeira. Sus imágenes del barrio mostraban locales antiguos y abandonados que le sirvieron de inspiración para crear una de las mejores galerías de arte al aire libre.
Su idea de pintar las puertas de aquellas ruinas contó con la colaboración del artista Marcos Milewski, el primer pintor que se atrevió a darle color a la calle de Santa María. Detrás de él le sucedieron un gran número de artistas que no han dudado en sumarse a la iniciativa hasta lograr más de 300 trabajos que abarcan hasta siete calles del barrio. Gracias a ello, la zona Velha do Funchal es una de las más turísticas de la ciudad, atrayendo cada día a un gran número de visitantes llamados por el color de las casas.
