Extremadura, Spain
The main focus of this trip was the migration of the Common Cranes who fly into Spain at this time of year in their tens of thousands. I had images in my mind that I hoped to get but I hadn't reckoned on the weather and the fact that these birds are extremely flighty and take off at the slightest provocation. The best hope of photographing them is to find a small family group, pair or individual - as was the case here. Photographing them at all was extremely challenging - mostly because the light was either too harsh or it was pouring with rain, so I have struggled to find even a few images to post. At best they are record shots, but here they are for better or worse!
One of the parents of the "Decorah Eagles" shot at the Decorah Trout Hatchery. Here, this mature adult eagle strikes a stunning pose for me just before he flies off.
These eagles have their own Facebook page, with a large following which maybe found: www.facebook.com/Decorah-Eagles-166402660081214/timeline/ I posted two eagles shots to this facebook page yesterday and they have over 800 likes and 54 shares in less than a day.
Thanks in advance for any comments/favs. A good weekend to all.
I think this photo is particularly significant on this date as it is the 14th anniversary of a day that will go down in infamy as the day cowardly Islamic jihadists attacked and killed 3000 of our citizens without provocation.
A scene packed with competing lines and structures; concrete tiers overhead, the green Veloway running like a drawn stroke across the frame, and an Opal truck slipping through the mid‑ground as a fleeting accent.
The foreground curves and textures of a BMX track push forward while the overpasses stack in heavy layers above, creating a composition that feels full to the point of bursting.
Every element is attempting to do something: pillars, spikes, signage, shadows, motion. The eye drawn quickly, darting from one system to the next, a visual sprint through a space built for speed and flow.

One of many ongoing approaches, where I move through the world as a harvester of images stumbling, strolling, lurching, equal parts accidental, and intentional. My concerns circumnavigate around questions that resist easy answers: time as texture, presence as performance, possibility as glitch. I trace the contours of decay and growth, hope and entropy, searching for the quiet collisions where meaning might emerge. Each image is less a document than a provocation an invitation to reconsider what we 'see', and what we ignore; and why.

"Before you stands a sports car of flesh and blood. Boasting a voluminous 4.0-litre six-cylinder horizontally opposed and naturally aspirated engine packing 383 kW (520 hp), mounted in the rear.
Its race track chassis will show you what it means to confront the tarmac head on. Eye for an eye. Lap after lap. The fixed rear wing is a flagrant provocation to do battle. To the opponent. And to the opposing headwind. The rear silencer as well as the tailpipes in titanium are a visible sign of what the new 911 GT3 RS is promising: unadulterated sound, pure performance, and a challenge that nobody whose heart beats for sports cars can shy away from..."

Installation by Maurizio Cattelan at Bourse du Commerce - Pinault Collection | Paris
A polymorphic artist, sculptor, performer, editor and programmer, Maurizio Cattelan has made a name for himself, thanks to a production whose spectacular forms highlight the contradictions of contemporary society. Others (2011), the disturbing squadron of stuffed pigeons, posted on the interior balconies of the third floor of the Bourse de Commerce is a perfect example: “more real than real life”, these motionless creatures arouse a mixture of surprised bemusement and “strange anxiety”. They are stationed there like an alert, a sign of something potentially sinister to come. Yet, their presence is already slightly unnerving.
If he weren’t already a major player on the contemporary art scene, Maurizio Cattelan, adept at paradox, provocation and savage irony, could pass himself off as an artist on the fringes and with a good dose of humour to boot! Born in Padua in 1960, he lives and works between Milan and New York.

“The beginning is a Presence that imposes itself. The beginning is a provocation, but not to the ‘brain,’ … to our life; whatever is not a provocation to our life wastes our time and energy, and blocks us from true joy,” and therefore, in time, no longer interests us. “The educative presence is the presence of the adult as a unified person,” and this concerns everything, from teaching methodology to the environment. Indeed, if we do not reach the point at which this newness of gaze, sparked by the encounter, opens us to discover more the way to go to deal with and communicate the subject matter in a new and more fulfilled way, if we don’t reach that point, if we don’t arrive at the level of teaching methodology, we succumb to dualism.
-Disarming Beauty ESSAYS ON FAITH, TRUTH, AND FREEDOM , JULIÁN CARRÓN Foreword by Javier Prades
How these little rabbits survive when their world is replete with predators (coyotes, bobcats, hawks) is a mystery and wonder to me. This one looks like he is poised to dash off at the least provocation.
Born out of a kinetic and destructive reaction to provocation and yielding the potential to give life... Birthed into the cold, dark night and creating a warm, illuminated evening in which we can dance and play...
In 1998, I undertook a long and personal journey, from Melbourne to Whyalla. I flew to Adelaide and onto Whyalla, hired a hire car and spent about a week driving around. I made my home for the week in the caravan park at Whyalla. I spent most of each day driving and photographing. I blogged about it on my blog in 2023

Malgré l’exposition de cette ethnie à la «civilisation», les rites traditionnels continuent de structurer la vie des Hamer. Le plus connu est l’Ukuli : il symbolise l’entrée des jeunes hommes dans l’âge adulte. Le futur initié est désigné par son chef de clan, puis il se prépare longuement. L’ étape la plus spectaculaire de ce rite de passage qui s’étend sur plusieurs jours, prend la forme d’une cérémonie d’une demi-journée à laquelle nous avons eu la chance d’assister. Au programme : chants, danses, flagellations et « saut de vache ».
Les fouetteurs sont arrivés, tenant à la main de longues baguettes souples. Les femmes se livrent alors autour d'eux à une véritable danse de provocation et de séduction, pour attirer l'attention des jeunes gens, les exciter et les inciter à les choisir pour partenaire de la séquence qui va suivre.
Ukuli : Provoke the whippersnappers
Despite the exposure of this ethnic group to “civilization”, traditional rites continue to structure the lives of the Hamer. The best known is the Ukuli: it symbolizes the entry of young men into adulthood. The future initiate is designated by his clan leader, then he prepares at length. The most spectacular stage of this rite of passage which extends over several days, takes the form of a half-day ceremony which we were lucky enough to attend. On the program: songs, dances, flagellation and “cow jumping”.
The whippers arrived, holding long, flexible sticks in their hands. The women then engage in a veritable dance of provocation and seduction around them, to attract the attention of the young people, excite them and encourage them to choose them as partners in the sequence that follows.

Coins in my Shoes
A poem by Katie Gabrielle
Today is my lucky day!
Fate hands me a chance
Music like change
Makes me dance
Rich I am in luck
I make my own way
In this world
With a song in my heart
coins in my shoes
How can I lose?
When today is my lucky day?
Going my way?
Follow my happy feet
Down lucky street!

Dance to Me Till the Night Is Gone
A poem by Peter S. Quinn
Dance to me till the night is gone
Carry my heart to the long way
Love is like a song to go on and on
Till the morning meets a new day
Hope is dancing with its flowing
Always more in its future to come
Don’t let hopes to the night be going
Feel its softness and fragrance blossom
Dance till the hours are all here in
Feeling its softness in the shadows
Let every smile though emotions spin
Anything of love sometimes again goes
Yesterdays were breaking through waves
Catching the minutes on their leaving
Thoughts to reality longings craves
In their departure and dance conceiving
Dance me to love in tender beguile
Slowly in motions to give and wake
Every its content in beauty and style
That love together can always make
Threads of its kisses feelings in deep
All that has no limits to any end
Bringing together that love can only keep
All of its instants in gathering blend
Mypiki wishes you a Warmer Christmas and a Happy New Year!

Without a doubt one of my favorite things to eat are tacos, especially on Día de los Muertos. I swear I probably eat tacos once a week and not just on Tuesdays. I ate these tacos for dinner last night. These have soft shredded roast beef in them, lettuce, tomatoes, jack/cheddar cheese, some sour cream, fresh lime and a little Tapatio hot sauce.
So you can only imagine, given my proclivity for tacos how much I was looking forward to Jordana Rothman's new taco book, "Tacos, Recipes and Provocations." It showed up from Amazon Friday. goo.gl/nBshTz It's a fantastic book full of everything you ever wanted to know about tacos, great recipes and beautiful photographs. The perfect gift for that taco lover in your life. Congrats Jordana on the book, it's wonderful.

Mistaken identity is a defense in criminal law which claims the actual innocence of the criminal defendant, and attempts to undermine evidence of guilt by asserting that any eyewitness to the crime incorrectly thought that they saw the defendant, when in fact the person seen by the witness was someone else. The defendant may question both the memory of the witness (suggesting, for example, that the identification is the result of a false memory), and the perception of the witness (suggesting, for example, that the witness had poor eyesight, or that the crime occurred in a poorly lit place).
Because the prosecution in a criminal case must prove the guilt of the accused beyond a reasonable doubt, the defendant must convince the jury that there is reasonable doubt about whether the witness actually saw what the witness claims to have seen, or recalls having seen. Although scientific studies have shown that mistaken identity is a common phenomenon, jurors give very strong credence to eyewitness testimony, particularly where the eyewitness is resolute in believing that their identification of the defendant was correct.
