The European robin (Erithacus rubecula), known simply as the robin or robin redbreast in the British Isles, is a small insectivorous passerine bird, specifically a chat, that was formerly classified as a member of the thrush family (Turdidae) but is now considered to be an Old World flycatcher. About 12.5–14.0 cm (5.0–5.5 inches) in length, the male and female are similar in colouration, with an orange breast and face lined with grey, brown upperparts and a whitish belly. It is found across Europe, east to Western Siberia and south to North Africa; it is sedentary in most of its range except the far north.
The robin is diurnal, although has been reported to be active hunting insects on moonlit nights or near artificial light at night. Well known to British and Irish gardeners, it is relatively unafraid of people and drawn to human activities involving the digging of soil, in order to look out for earthworms and other food freshly turned up. Indeed, the robin is considered to be a gardener's friend and for various folklore reasons the robin would never be harmed. In continental Europe on the other hand, robins were hunted and killed as with most other small birds, and are more wary. Robins also approach large wild animals, such as wild boar and other animals which disturb the ground, to look for any food that might be brought to the surface. In autumn and winter, robins will supplement their usual diet of terrestrial invertebrates, such as spiders, worms and insects, with berries and fruit. They will also eat seed mixtures placed on bird-tables.
Male robins are noted for their highly aggressive territorial behaviour. They will fiercely attack other males and competitors that stray into their territories and have been observed attacking other small birds without apparent provocation. Such attacks sometimes lead to fatalities, accounting for up to 10% of adult robin deaths in some areas.
Because of high mortality in the first year of life, a robin has an average life expectancy of 1.1 years; however, once past its first year it can expect to live longer and one robin has been recorded as reaching 19 years of age. A spell of very low temperatures in winter may also result in significant mortality.

"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..."

He was a man of his word. By his word he would remain, though, as in the present case, any objective observer would be forced to admit that his provocation to betray her, his temptation to betray her, must have been unusual in the extreme. By honor, such an important jarl must set an example for the men of Torvaldsland. He had nobly, if not cheerfully, set the example.
Street art is visual art created in public locations, usually unsanctioned artwork executed outside of the context of traditional art venues. The term gained popularity during the graffiti art boom of the early 1980s and continues to be applied to subsequent incarnations. Stencil graffiti, wheatpasted poster art or sticker art, and street installation or sculpture are common forms of modern street art. Video projection, yarn bombing and Lock On sculpture became popularized at the turn of the 21st century.
The terms "urban art", "guerrilla art", "post-graffiti" and "neo-graffiti" are also sometimes used when referring to artwork created in these contexts.[1] Traditional spray-painted graffiti artwork itself is often included in this category, excluding territorial graffiti or pure vandalism.
Street art is often motivated by a preference on the part of the artist to communicate directly with the public at large, free from perceived confines of the formal art world.[2] Street artists sometimes present socially relevant content infused with esthetic value, to attract attention to a cause or as a form of "art provocation".[3]
Street artists often travel between countries to spread their designs. Some artists have gained cult-followings, media and art world attention, and have gone on to work commercially in the styles which made their work known on the streets.
War does not discriminate among soldiers and civilian. Every moving vessel at sea can always be seen as offensive to the eyes of the adversary. Largely defenseless, many a life have been lost when commercial ships are attacked without provocation. Just count them among the casualties of war.

Like so many raptors, a snowy owl boasts claim to a jealous sky. These majestic birds allege title to all that spans their horizons. A jealous sky does not tolerate the intrusion of competition. It does not condone the company of another mighty hunter. The presence of a peregrine falcon, or even another snowy owl is little endured. There need not be provocation, for the simple sight of another within its visible hemisphere is provocation enough for battle. The battle is short lived and the winner takes all, while the loser takes to the air, to establish its own new horizons, its own jealous sky. These two juveniles carry on that tradition with vigor, and this jealous sky will soon have a new master. #SnowyOwls
FLOCKE//ART is an urban artist from Berlin. As almost every street artist, he also started with the spraying and implemented his ideas and visions in graffiti. Today, it is mainly dedicated to the cut-out, or paste up, but the specificity of FLOCKE//ART is the combination of paste up, spraying and painting. FLOCKE wants to touch the passers at many different places with his works. In the short life of the cityscape, the motifs should appeal to the casual observer. The style offers colorful versatility, humor and subtle provocation.

The work "The Virgin Unveiled" presents itself as a visual and conceptual provocation. The artist, with a desecrating intent, draws on an imagery deeply rooted in Western culture: the iconography of the Madonna offering her heart. However, traditional sacredness is deconstructed here, dismantled to be reassembled in a new and ambivalent form.
The image evokes a sense of vulnerability and revelation; the female figure, almost completely immersed in shadow, loses its distinctive features, becoming an archetype of suffering humanity. The heart, projected onto her skin like a flickering flame, is the emotional core of the work; it is a symbol of love, passion, but also of pain and fragility. The pose of the hands, protecting or offering the heart, suggests an internal conflict, a struggle between the desire to give and the need to defend oneself.
The framing is frontal, almost hieratic, recalling traditional representations of the Madonna. However, the absence of a defined face and the soft lighting create an atmosphere of mystery and ambiguity.
The predominance of dark red in the background creates a feeling of oppressive, almost claustrophobic heat. The color can be interpreted as a symbol of passion, but also of suffering and sacrifice. The use of chiaroscuro accentuates the contrast between the female figure and the luminous heart, drawing the viewer's attention to the most significant detail.
The heart is the central symbol of the work; its projection on the skin suggests a profound and intimate connection between the body and emotions. The absence of a face in the female figure can be interpreted as a desire to universalize the experience of pain, making it accessible to all viewers.
The nudity of the female figure is a key element in the demystification of traditional iconography: the Madonna is often depicted in sumptuous robes and lavish decorations, but here her image is stripped of all artifice, revealing a raw and authentic vulnerability. The work could be part of an artistic movement that deconstructs religious symbols to explore themes of identity, sexuality, and power. Echoes of artists such as Marlene Dumas, known for her raw and direct depictions of the female body, and Tracey Emin, who often uses autobiographical and provocative elements in her work, can be found.
"The Virgin Unveiled" is a complex and thought-provoking work that invites the viewer to question the meaning of religious symbols and the nature of human experience. The desecration of traditional iconography is not an end in itself, but serves to create a space for reflection and openness to new interpretations of the sacred and the profane. The image leaves us with a sense of unease and wonder, inviting us to look beyond appearances and confront our most intimate vulnerability.
"Art is the provocation for talking about enigma and the search for sense in human life. One can do that by telling a story or writing about a fresc by Giotto or studying how a snail climbs up a wall."
John Berger

Male robins are noted for their highly aggressive territorial behaviour. They will attack other males that stray into their territories, and have been observed attacking other small birds without apparent provocation. Wikipedia.
From the Wikipedia entry: Tarantula hawk wasps are relatively docile and rarely sting without provocation. However, the sting—particularly that of P. grossa—is among the most painful of all insects, though the intense pain only lasts about five minutes.[9] One researcher described the pain as "...immediate, excruciating, unrelenting pain that simply shuts down one's ability to do anything, except scream. Mental discipline simply does not work in these situations."
