Koi fish are known to swim against the current and overcome great obstacles. They symbolise strength, patience, courage and success. As they can grow very large, they also become the symbol of prosperity and luck.”

A half-open bud of Rosa ‘Prosperity’ against the winter's blue sky. The petals present a crapy texture and a soft pink touch in this season. This bud will not fully open until it fades away.

Eternal One: I am in control—calm and serene.
I am watching quietly from where I dwell
Just as surely as the heat shimmers in the blazing sun
and the dewy mists cool the warmth of a harvest day.
For even before the harvest begins, when the buds blossom
and the flowers make way for the ripening grapes,
God will cut back their shoots with pruning shears,
lop off and clear away the spreading branches. ~ Isaiah 18: 4-5
“It’s because I want you to remember that character counts. You can be the best there ever was at something, but if you have no character, what do you have? On the other hand, if you have very little as far as accomplishments but you have character, well, then you’re all right in my book.”
― Chris Fabry, Dogwood

This one of the techniques from the photoclass ...might look sloppy, but it's not easy to get right ;o) There is no photoshop features involved ..it's all made by the camera on normal settings and shaken not stirred ... lol
As a result of archaeological research we know that in the time of the Roman emperor Augustus, in the first century AD., Carmona went through a prolonged period of peace and economic prosperity. This led to the construction of large and important public buildings, among them the Gate of Cordoba, which was not only a defensive gate but also had a certain propaganda value, symbolizing the advance of the Roman empire.
In the Gate of Cordoba we can appreciate the traces left by the different cultures that have established themselves in our town throughout its long history.
During the time of the Catholic Monarchs, the Gate lost its original purely defensive function and, with it, its austere military appearance, as it took on the role of the supervision of products coming into Carmona from outside the town walls, in practice effectively acting as a customs post and, as a result, acquiring elements of civil architecture.
In the 16th century it underwent Renaissance alterations and, at the beginning of the 17th century, beautiful ornamental motifs, such as coats of arms and marble statues, now unfortunately lost, were added, all of which dignified the Gate.
Its Baroque appearance dates to the time of Charles II, with the reforms which took place in 1688.
At the end of the 18th century, the last reforms were carried out by the famous Neoclassical architect from Carmona, José Echamorro, and part of the monument was rebuilt and the complex consolidated
For MACRO MONDAYS, this week’s theme: "Currency".
The Coin (1 inch in Diameter) in the front with Chinese Character 乾隆通寶 was a kind of cash coins produced under the reign of the Qianlong Emperor of the Qing dynasty (1735 to 1796).
The gold ingot behind the coin called Yuanbao 元寶, was also a currency used in the first dynasty of Imperial China from 221 to 206 BC.
At the present days, they remain a symbol of wealth and prosperity and are commonly depicted during the Chinese New Year festivities.
As today is Chines New Year's Eve, I wish my Flickr friends a healthy and prosperous year!
HMM!

The bluebird is a symbol of hope, love, and renewal and is also a part of many Native American legends. It symbolizes the essence of life and beauty. Dreaming of bluebirds often represents happiness, joy, fulfillment, hope, prosperity, and good luck.
“Only when we know our solitude to be different from our loneliness
can we be whole enough to honor another’s place.”
Heilung's song 'Asja', is a love song, blessing the listener with love, recovery and prosperity, chasing away evil.
"A man is not rightly conditioned until he is a happy, healthy, and prosperous being; and happiness, health, and prosperity are the result of a harmonious adjustment of the inner with the outer of the man with his surroundings."

Memory of a good companion lost last week, never did like his pic being taken, gone but not forgotten
Guang Fu Temple
The temple, which is a mix of modern and Art Deco architecture styles, is believed to be over 100 years old.
It started out as a small wooden temple with Tua Pek Kong as its resident deity.
Over the years, the temple was renovated and extended but some of its original furnishings such as the ornately carved wooden altar and the statues of the deities were maintained.
Today, other than the Tua Pek Kong, devotees can also offer prayers to other deities such as the Goddess of Mercy and Buddha in the temple.
Tua Pek Kong (God of Prosperity)

Her worship leads to abundance, auspiciousness and prosperity. As the Mother, She preserves, nurtures and protects. Her luminosity slays the lower, dark forces, evil and falsehood. As Goddess Durga, She destroyed the asuras Chand and Mund as Chamundi Devi and also slayed the buffalo demon Mahishasur
I had in mind to place 8 bills in a frame, which according to Feng Shui, 8 is money/prosperity number. It took me three years to find the perfect frame, and finally I found one at Thrift Store.
Animal symbolism on a Korean soapstone carving (lid of an inkwell). Close-up. I was interested to see how an object almost uniformly black would look when photographed. Lighting is everything here as the object can only be seen due to the difference of light-absorbing and -reflecting parts.

COVID-19 has changed the normal running of museums' exhibitions. No new ones were opened. Now there are the first 2 new exhibitions in the Düsseldorf K20 and in the Kunstverein. In the latter even a good photo exhibition. Would like to give my friends, who are currently partially unable to go there (not CORONA), to look forward to it. Hope everyone else likes it too.
durch COVID-19 ist der normale Ausstellungsbetrieb der Museen geändert worden. Es wurden keinen neuen eröffnet. Jetzt gibt es die ersten 2 neuen Ausstellungen im Düsseldorfer K20 und im Kunstverein. Im letzteren sogar eine gute Fotoaustellung. Möchte meine Freunde, die zurzeit teilweise keine Möglichkeit haben dort hin zu gehen (Nicht CORONA) hier eine Vorfreude geben. Hoffe allen anderen gefällt es auch.

Kanda Shrine (神田明神, Kanda-myōjin, officially 神田神社 Kanda-jinja), is a Shinto shrine located in Chiyoda, Tokyo, Japan. The shrine dates back 1,270 years, but the current structure was rebuilt several times due to fire and earthquakes. It is situated in one of the most expensive estate areas of Tokyo. Kanda Shrine was an important shrine to both the warrior class and citizens of Japan, especially during the Edo period, when shōgun Tokugawa Ieyasu paid his respects at Kanda Shrine. Due in part to the proximity of the Kanda Shrine to Akihabara, the shrine has become a mecca for technophiles who frequent Akihabara.
Kanda Shrine was first built in the second year of the Tenpyō Era (730 AD), in the fishing village of Shibasaki, near the modern Ōtemachi district. In order to accommodate the expansion of Edo Castle, the shrine was later moved to the former Kanda ward in 1603, then moved once again to its modern site on a small hill near Akihabara in 1616. The shrine has been rebuilt and restored many times. The current structure was destroyed in the 1923 Great Kantō earthquake and rebuilt in 1934 with concrete, and thus survived the Tokyo firebombing of World War II, unlike many of Japan's historical structures. Restoration is being done on Kanda Shrine, and work continues today.
Pray for prosperity, good luck and marriage at the Kanda Myojin Shrine, where three major gods, or kami, are enshrined. They include two of the seven Gods of Fortune: Daikokuten, who presides over bountiful harvests and matrimony; and Ebisu, the god of fisheries and business. The third is the Taira no Masakado, a rebel against the Hei'an government (794–1185) whom later earned revered status. The shrine is the head of 108 Tokyo districts including Akihabara and Tsukiji.
In May every odd-numbered year, partake in the festivities of the boisterous Kanda Matsuri that is widely regarded as one of Japan's three greatest festivals. The parade kicks off and ends at the shrine, passing through central Tokyo districts like Nihombashi and Otemachi.

It seems that bald eagles are doing well these days. It used to be the only way to see eagles was to head to starved rock during the coldest months as they would gather around the rock river. However, these days I see them pretty often. They are seen perched high above many of the area's lakes and marshes hunting for ducks or fish.
I actually now have two active eagle nests near my house. One five minutes away and the other around ten minutes.
