My artwork submission for the ASHRAYA Art Expo that was held 5/28-6/4 to aid in funding for the women and children of India. It was a huge honor to be asked to participate in this project!
The inspiration behind my piece was first and formost to reflect Indian culture... in both dance, costume, rich colors (the green and orange of the native flag), and their spirituality as represented by the elephant. The Hindu god, Ganesh who has the head of an elephant, is the first god who is turned to in times of trouble, as he is the remover of obstacles. So with the ASHRAYA project, it is my hope that our small community can help the women and children in India to face their struggles and find the peace, happiness and prosperity they deserve.

ABOUT:
After my large spaceship The Prosperity fell over an collapsed, I decided to rebuild it in a new version.
I started around March 11 rethinking the design and building the bottom part so I could repurpose the top dome. I had the structure down by April 7th, maybe 100 hours.
I rebuilt the core a lot stronger and turning the top into an egg shaped dome suspended with four arms. I got burned out on the build after surfacing one of the arms out. So at this point I thought I'd document it as a beautiful shape and large build.

Taken in the Pharmacy Museum at Krokow. Founded in 1946, exhibits show the history of pharmacy from the Middle Ages to modern times. An eighteenth-century pharmacy has been reconstructed inside, as well as some other interiors - like an old laboratory, an apothecary cellar with barrels and flasks for medicinal wines, and an apothecary attic for drying and storing herbs. Great stuff!

The Co-Prosperity Sphere (C-PS), an experimental cultural center, is located at the corner of S. Morgan Street and W. 32nd Place. Its space showcases work by a diverse group of artists, performers and cultural workers. The C-PS hosts exhibitions, screenings, presentations, installations, festivals, meetings and performance programs in its more than 2,600 square-foot gallery. The space hosts between 30 and 40 events and exhibitions annually, serving more than 20,000 persons. Co-Prosperity is also the home office of Public Media Institute. NOTE: In the early morning of August 26, some idiot threw a fire-hydrant cap through one of the windows, most likely because he didn't like the messages being displayed.
Huy
Huy is a city and municipality of Wallonia located in the province of Liège, Belgium. Huy lies along the river Meuse, at the mouth of the small river Hoyoux. It is in the "sillon industriel", the former industrial backbone of Wallonia.
The first village originated around the Roman castrum, an early fortress located on the right bank of the river Meuse. The village was evangelized by Saint Domitian, bishop of Tongeren in the 6th century and the town is mentioned for the first time in a 7th-century testament (as Hoius vicus, taking its name from the river Hoyoux).
In the early Middle Ages, Huy was one of the most prosperous cities on the Meuse, with a flourishing economy based mostly on metallurgy, but also on tanning, sculpting, woodworking, and wine-making. In the 10th century, Huy was promoted to county status, but soon became part of the Prince-Bishopric of Liège, with which it would share its history for more than eight centuries. Huy was the recipient of the first historically known charter north of the Alps, confirming it as a city in 1066. It is around that time that Peter the Hermit harangued the locals and persuaded them to participate in the First Crusade, having already participated himself in the People's Crusade and the Rhineland massacres in 1096.
In the 13th and 14th centuries, the economy boomed thanks to the cloth industry. The castle on a hill right in the middle of town, was used in times of war and strengthened accordingly. By the 15th century, it had become the symbol of the city. The following two centuries, however, witnessed a gradual decline in the city's fortunes, due in large part to the strategic value of its location on the Meuse. In the latter part of the 17th century, Louis XIV's wars caused the city to be repeatedly attacked and put to the sword, to the point that the frustrated inhabitants dismantled their own castle, source of their miseries, in 1715.
A new fortress was built by the Dutch in 1818 at the same strategic location above the town. The 19th century was a period of relative prosperity based on the paper and other industries. The decline of heavy industry in the 20th century was felt here, as in other parts of Wallonia. Today, the city has started to prosper again, thanks in part to its tin products and tourist activity.
In 1970, the Tihange Nuclear Power Station was built nearby.

Thank you all!
The majestic Saint John’s Cathedral clearly reflects the prosperity of 's-Hertogenbosch in the late Middle Ages. Its rich sculptural detail, the big organ and the cut altar are just a few examples. Unfortunately the cathedral’s interior suffered greatly during the Iconoclastic Fury of the sixteenth century, when it was changed into a Protestant church and many Catholic attributes disappeared. Fortunately the baptismal font from 1492, the pulpit from 1560, and the majestic organ from 1620 remain. Saint John’s was transformed back into a Roman Catholic Church in 1816, and became the main church in the bishopric once again in 1853.
It's not really funny unless you read Chinese. The character "Fu" on the mural means "Wealth and Good Fortune!"
In my native land. Northern Ilocos, the economy is anchored in agriculture. Good harvest equates to good business in all sectors. And when there is money in the farmer's pocket, there is food on the table, children are able to go to school, and peace is felt all around.

One can ask for health but mostly for material things like a bigger house, money a car or land. If you want those things one buys a miniature, house, car or fake dolars. With those you can go to a shaman who does a rite with you, including sprinkle bear and drinking it praying and finally through firework off the hill. Then you continu your journey to the top of the rock were a statue of the virgin of Copacabana is which you are going to touch and give please with a gift.
In one year form now the desired will materialize as you keep your promise to the virgin to work hard.

The Leadership Bus
Reconfiguring the metaphor.
The world needs successful leaders.
They must want to achieve.
To shift us from good to great.
Forging ahead and getting around restrictions.
Breaking national protections.
Cutting the red tape.
Warrantless access to our metadata.
Shared across borders.
Encroachments made to preserve prosperity.
And maximizing returns.
by reorganizing structures.
To maintain productivity and continuous growth.

ABOUT
After my large spaceship The Prosperity fell over an collapsed, I decided to rebuild it in a new version.
This photo shows all the pieces of the ship, one of the engines disassembled, the main body, and the new egg shaped dome.
THE DOME
I started around March 11 rethinking the design and building the bottom part so I could repurpose the top dome. I had the structure down by April 7th, maybe 100 hours.

Like many of the world’s greatest cities, Aberdeen has a port at its heart. This port has been a catalyst for the city’s prosperity for nearly nine centuries.
The secret behind our success is our ability to adapt and modernise. By embracing new technologies and industries, and transforming our infrastructure, we will become Scotland’s premier net zero port, offering world class facilities and services, at the heart of the nation’s energy transition efforts.
We are committed to improving every element of our activity and what we provide for our port users, to create prosperity for generations. This is why we have undertaken the largest marine infrastructure project in the UK for decades, and have committed to operating a net zero port by 2040.
Above all, we are open. Open to new energy; to building closer relationships with our neighbours and communities; to working with partners on strengthening the economy, and to new ways of developing our skilled and talented team, to equip us for the future.

Smuggler's Cove in Flamborough, one of our favourite haunts.
Magical place and wonderful people, their catch, mainly crabs and are beyond words.
They also catch lobsters... they go straight to the Continent...
During the week, these fisher folk are working from very early morning, on Sunday, they take people around the surrounding bays, and to view the cliffs like the famous Bempton Cliffs, with all their natural (bird) wildlife, some take people fishing.
Here the skipper eased his boat in with confidence, funny how they spot a lens aimed at them so quickly..
Mind your head!
Again uncropped, take the time and experience the joys of the discipline of composing your image in camera…
Have a super day and thank you for visiting, Magda (*_*)
