Tapasya is closely associated with meditation, fasting and the practice of yoga. Meditative tapas involves focusing entirely upon God, the Supreme Brahman and ignoring all environmental, artificial and other provocations or distractions. In the purest state of meditation, no thought save that of God must occupy the processes of the mind.
A tapasvin also practices brahmacharya, endeavoring to control all his or her biological instincts, functions and senses. Tapasvins reduce consumption of food and drink steadily, using their mental, intuitive force to reduce their biological needs. Ahimsa and vegetarianism, pure non-violence towards all living beings is practiced to eliminate anger, destructive impulses and avoid the foolishness of hurting others.
Fasting is accompanied by avoiding all cooked foods, especially spices and meats. Only fruits and roots are considered acceptable, and one may strive to reduce the quantity one has to consume.

Voici l'ultime et dernière photo dénudée. A l'origine je souhaitais la titrer "je ne suis pas minimaliste"... Mais c'est la troisième photo "provocatrice" de l'album et la dernière... alors autant finir en beauté et en musique avec "Toxic" de Britney Spears mais la version de Yael Naim... pour ceux qui ne connaissent pas les paroles... une traduction trouvée sur internet :
NB : j'utilise rarement le féminin pour parler de ma persone...
Mon amour, ne t'aperçois-tu pas
Que je suis en train d'appeler.
Un homme comme toi
On devrait s'en méfier,
C'est dangereux
Et j'en tombe.
Il n'y a pas d'issue
Je ne peux plus attendre
J'ai besoin d'être consolée
Mon amour, fais-le pour moi.
Tu es dangereux
Mais j'adore ça
Si haut que je ne peux plus descendre
J'en perds la tête
Je tourne et je tourne
Peux-tu me retenir maintenant ?
[Refrain]
Le goût de tes lèvres
Me fait tourner sur un manège
Tu es toxique, Je m'évanouis
Le parfum d'un poison paradisiaque
Me rend accro à toi
Ne sais-tu pas que tu es toxique ?
Et j'aime ce que tu es
Ne sais-tu pas que tu es toxique ?
Il est trop tard pour renoncer à toi
J'y ai déjà goûté dans ma coupe empoisonnée
Tout doucement, il se répand en moi.
Si haut que je ne peux plus descendre
L'air vient à manquer et tout se met à tourner
Peux-tu me retenir maintenant ?
[Refrain] (Reprise)
Uuuuh uuuh
Uuuuuh uuh
Intoxique-moi maintenant,
De ton amour à l'instant,
Je pense que je suis prête
Oui je pense que je suis prête maintenant
Intoxique-moi maintenant,
De ton amour à l'instant,
Je pense que je suis prête maintenant
Je pense que je suis prête maintenant
Intoxique-moi maintenant,
Je pense que je suis prête maintenant
De ton amour à l'instant,
Je pense que je suis prête maintenant
Je pense que je suis prête maintenant
Intoxique-moi maintenant...
Maintenant
Maintenant
Le goût de tes lèvres me fait tourner sur un manège...

This one is the last one like this... This one is a dedicace to Claude, an another coworker. I stop to play with the provocation, now... I joined with this picture the song "Toxic" Britney Spears but the version from Yael Naim... First time I would written "I'm not Minimalist..."
You are born on the most frigid, desolate days of winter. Furless and about the size of a grapefruit, you snuggle next to mom for warmth. She may not even be aware that you have been born. You nurse and grow until it is time to emerge from the den. Mom is everything. She protects and feeds you. She teaches you to fear even other bears, for they might harm you. At the slightest provocation she encourages you to climb the nearest tree for safety. For a year and a half she is everything. She is your entire world. Mom is the only thing you trust and love. She teaches you what’s good to eat and what to avoid. She makes certain you are safely tucked away if she must go out for food, and always returns for you. She rewards you when you are good and scolds you when you don’t listen. Suddenly, at about a year and a half mom turns on you. It happens without provocation. Not only isn’t she loving and protective, she is downright dangerous. She chases you the way she has always chased other bears. Your world suddenly implodes. You are alone. Perhaps you have a sibling to keep you company but the most sacred trust, that between a mother and a child, has been broken. All older bears will chase you and now your knight in shining armor does the same. It is time to trust nothing and fear everything, you are running scared. Such is the life of every bear cub. #BlackBearCubs

"This ornate brick building, the first of its kind in Skagit County, was constructed by Lewis & Dryden Engineers of Portland, Oregon. It was originally chartered as the Bank of Anacortes. The Bank closed during the depression of 1893. Two vaults and other bank-related features have survived alterations."

"The Platt Building on the SW corner of P/Commercial and 4th was the first brick building on Fidalgo Island. It was built by John Platt during the summer of 1890. The ANACORTES AMERICAN reported on 7-31-1890, "Platt bank building will be done in 30 days." On 10-9-1890, "The New Bank ... Fine store and Offices ... To John Platt is due the credit and honor of building and occupying the first brick block to be erected upon Fidalgo Island."
The building had several names, such as Post Office Building (Post Office housed here from 1895 to at least 1898) and, in 1901, the Wells Building after it was purchased by W. V. Wells. The structure also housed the first telephone company."

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

Each image is less a document than a provocation an invitation to reconsider what we 'see', and what we ignore.

"The female tarantula hawk captures, stings, and paralyzes the spider, then either drags her prey back into her own burrow or transports it to a specially prepared nest, where a single egg is laid on the spider’s abdomen, and the entrance is covered. When the wasp larva hatches, it creates a small hole in the spider's abdomen, then enters and feeds voraciously, avoiding vital organs for as long as possible to keep the spider alive. After several weeks, the larva pupates. Finally, the wasp becomes an adult, and emerges from the spider's abdomen to continue the life cycle. Tarantula wasps are also nectarivorous" (which is recorded here in the photo).
The tarantula hawk is relatively docile and rarely stings without provocation. However, the sting, particularly of P. grossa, is among the most painful of any insect, though the intense pain only lasts about three minutes.--Wikipedia

Architecture in Vienna
Vienna's 2,000-year history is present in a unique density in the cityscape. The layout of the center dates back to the Roman city and medieval road network. Romanesque and Gothic churches characterize the streets and squares as well as palaces and mansions of the baroque city of residence. The ring road is an expression of the modern city of the 19th century, in the 20th century extensive housing developments set accents in the outer districts. Currently, large-scale urban development measures are implemented; distinctive buildings of international star architects complement the silhouette of the city.
Due to its function as residence of the emperor and European power center, Vienna for centuries stood in the focus of international attention, but it was well aware of that too. As a result, developed an outstanding building culture, and still today on a worldwide scale only a few cities can come up with a comparable density of high-quality architecture. For several years now, Vienna has increased its efforts to connect with its historical highlights and is drawing attention to itself with some spectacular new buildings. The fastest growing city in the German-speaking world today most of all in residential construction is setting standards. Constants of the Viennese architecture are respect for existing structures, the palpability of historical layers and the dialogue between old and new.
Culmination of medieval architecture: the Stephansdom
The oldest architectural landmark of the city is St. Stephen's Cathedral. Under the rule of the Habsburgs, defining the face of the city from the late 13th century until 1918 in a decisive way, the cathedral was upgraded into the sacral monument of the political ambitions of the ruling house. The 1433 completed, 137 meters high southern tower, by the Viennese people affectionately named "Steffl", is a masterpiece of late Gothic architecture in Europe. For decades he was the tallest stone structure in Europe, until today he is the undisputed center of the city.
The baroque residence
Vienna's ascension into the ranks of the great European capitals began in Baroque. Among the most important architects are Johann Bernhard Fischer von Erlach and Johann Lucas von Hildebrandt. Outside the city walls arose a chain of summer palaces, including the garden Palais Schwarzenberg (1697-1704) as well as the Upper and Lower Belvedere of Prince Eugene of Savoy (1714-22). Among the most important city palaces are the Winter Palace of Prince Eugene (1695-1724, now a branch of the Belvedere) and the Palais Daun-Kinsky (auction house in Kinsky 1713-19). The emperor himself the Hofburg had complemented by buildings such as the Imperial Library (1722-26) and the Winter Riding School (1729-34). More important, however, for the Habsburgs was the foundation of churches and monasteries. Thus arose before the city walls Fischer von Erlach's Karlskirche (1714-39), which with its formal and thematic complex show façade belongs to the major works of European Baroque. In colored interior rooms like that of St. Peter's Church (1701-22), the contemporary efforts for the synthesis of architecture, painting and sculpture becomes visible.
Upgrading into metropolis: the ring road time (Ringstraßenzeit)
Since the Baroque, reflections on extension of the hopelessly overcrowed city were made, but only Emperor Franz Joseph ordered in 1857 the demolition of the fortifications and the connection of the inner city with the suburbs. 1865, the Ring Road was opened. It is as the most important boulevard of Europe an architectural and in terms of urban development achievement of the highest rank. The original building structure is almost completely preserved and thus conveys the authentic image of a metropolis of the 19th century. The public representational buildings speak, reflecting accurately the historicism, by their style: The Greek Antique forms of Theophil Hansen's Parliament (1871-83) stood for democracy, the Renaissance of the by Heinrich Ferstel built University (1873-84) for the flourishing of humanism, the Gothic of the Town Hall (1872-83) by Friedrich Schmidt for the medieval civic pride.
Dominating remained the buildings of the imperial family: Eduard van der Nüll's and August Sicardsburg's Opera House (1863-69), Gottfried Semper's and Carl Hasenauer's Burgtheater (1874-88), their Museum of Art History and Museum of Natural History (1871-91) and the Neue (New) Hofburg (1881-1918 ). At the same time the ring road was the preferred residential area of mostly Jewish haute bourgeoisie. With luxurious palaces the families Ephrussi, Epstein or Todesco made it clear that they had taken over the cultural leadership role in Viennese society. In the framework of the World Exhibition of 1873, the new Vienna presented itself an international audience. At the ring road many hotels were opened, among them the Hotel Imperial and today's Palais Hansen Kempinski.
Laboratory of modernity: Vienna around 1900
Otto Wagner's Postal Savings Bank (1903-06) was one of the last buildings in the Ring road area Otto Wagner's Postal Savings Bank (1903-06), which with it façade, liberated of ornament, and only decorated with "functional" aluminum buttons and the glass banking hall now is one of the icons of modern architecture. Like no other stood Otto Wagner for the dawn into the 20th century: His Metropolitan Railway buildings made the public transport of the city a topic of architecture, the church of the Psychiatric hospital at Steinhofgründe (1904-07) is considered the first modern church.
With his consistent focus on the function of a building ("Something impractical can not be beautiful"), Wagner marked a whole generation of architects and made Vienna the laboratory of modernity: in addition to Joseph Maria Olbrich, the builder of the Secession (1897-98) and Josef Hoffmann, the architect of the at the western outskirts located Purkersdorf Sanatorium (1904) and founder of the Vienna Workshop (Wiener Werkstätte, 1903) is mainly to mention Adolf Loos, with the Loos House at the square Michaelerplatz (1909-11) making architectural history. The extravagant marble cladding of the business zone stands in maximal contrast, derived from the building function, to the unadorned facade above, whereby its "nudity" became even more obvious - a provocation, as well as his culture-critical texts ("Ornament and Crime"), with which he had greatest impact on the architecture of the 20th century. Public contracts Loos remained denied. His major works therefore include villas, apartment facilities and premises as the still in original state preserved Tailor salon Knize at Graben (1910-13) and the restored Loos Bar (1908-09) near the Kärntner Straße (passageway Kärntner Durchgang).
Between the Wars: International Modern Age and social housing
After the collapse of the monarchy in 1918, Vienna became capital of the newly formed small country of Austria. In the heart of the city, the architects Theiss & Jaksch built 1931-32 the first skyscraper in Vienna as an exclusive residential address (Herrengasse - alley 6-8). To combat the housing shortage for the general population, the social democratic city government in a globally unique building program within a few years 60,000 apartments in hundreds of apartment buildings throughout the city area had built, including the famous Karl Marx-Hof by Karl Ehn (1925-30). An alternative to the multi-storey buildings with the 1932 opened International Werkbundsiedlung was presented, which was attended by 31 architects from Austria, Germany, France, Holland and the USA and showed models for affordable housing in greenfield areas. With buildings of Adolf Loos, André Lurçat, Richard Neutra, Gerrit Rietveld, the Werkbundsiedlung, which currently is being restored at great expense, is one of the most important documents of modern architecture in Austria.
Modernism was also expressed in significant Villa buildings: The House Beer (1929-31) by Josef Frank exemplifies the refined Wiener living culture of the interwar period, while the house Stonborough-Wittgenstein (1926-28, today Bulgarian Cultural Institute), built by the philosopher Ludwig Wittgenstein together with the architect Paul Engelmann for his sister Margarete, by its aesthetic radicalism and mathematical rigor represents a special case within contemporary architecture.
Expulsion, war and reconstruction
After the "Anschluss (Annexation)" to the German Reich in 1938, numerous Jewish builders, architects (female and male ones), who had been largely responsible for the high level of Viennese architecture, have been expelled from Austria. During the Nazi era, Vienna remained largely unaffected by structural transformations, apart from the six flak towers built for air defense of Friedrich Tamms (1942-45), made of solid reinforced concrete which today are present as memorials in the cityscape.
The years after the end of World War II were characterized by the reconstruction of the by bombs heavily damaged city. The architecture of those times was marked by aesthetic pragmatism, but also by the attempt to connect with the period before 1938 and pick up on current international trends. Among the most important buildings of the 1950s are Roland Rainer's City Hall (1952-58), the by Oswald Haerdtl erected Wien Museum at Karlsplatz (1954-59) and the 21er Haus of Karl Schwanzer (1958-62).
The youngsters come
Since the 1960s, a young generation was looking for alternatives to the moderate modernism of the reconstruction years. With visionary designs, conceptual, experimental and above all temporary architectures, interventions and installations, Raimund Abraham, Günther Domenig, Eilfried Huth, Hans Hollein, Walter Pichler and the groups Coop Himmelb(l)au, Haus-Rucker-Co and Missing Link rapidly got international attention. Although for the time being it was more designed than built, was the influence on the postmodern and deconstructivist trends of the 1970s and 1980s also outside Austria great. Hollein's futuristic "Retti" candle shop at Charcoal Market/Kohlmarkt (1964-65) and Domenig's biomorphic building of the Central Savings Bank in Favoriten (10th district of Vienna - 1975-79) are among the earliest examples, later Hollein's Haas-Haus (1985-90), the loft conversion Falkestraße (1987/88) by Coop Himmelb(l)au or Domenig's T Center (2002-04) were added. Especially Domenig, Hollein, Coop Himmelb(l)au and the architects Ortner & Ortner (ancient members of Haus-Rucker-Co) by orders from abroad the new Austrian and Viennese architecture made a fixed international concept.
MuseumQuarter and Gasometer
Since the 1980s, the focus of building in Vienna lies on the compaction of the historic urban fabric that now as urban habitat of high quality no longer is put in question. Among the internationally best known projects is the by Ortner & Ortner planned MuseumsQuartier in the former imperial stables (competition 1987, 1998-2001), which with institutions such as the MUMOK - Museum of Modern Art Foundation Ludwig, the Leopold Museum, the Kunsthalle Wien, the Architecture Center Vienna and the Zoom Children's Museum on a wordwide scale is under the largest cultural complexes. After controversies in the planning phase, here an architectural compromise between old and new has been achieved at the end, whose success as an urban stage with four million visitors (2012) is overwhelming.
The dialogue between old and new, which has to stand on the agenda of building culture of a city that is so strongly influenced by history, also features the reconstruction of the Gasometer in Simmering by Coop Himmelb(l)au, Wilhelm Holzbauer, Jean Nouvel and Manfred Wehdorn (1999-2001). Here was not only created new housing, but also a historical industrial monument reinterpreted into a signal in the urban development area.
New Neighborhood
In recent years, the major railway stations and their surroundings moved into the focus of planning. Here not only necessary infrastructural measures were taken, but at the same time opened up spacious inner-city residential areas and business districts. Among the prestigious projects are included the construction of the new Vienna Central Station, started in 2010 with the surrounding office towers of the Quartier Belvedere and the residential and school buildings of the Midsummer quarter (Sonnwendviertel). Europe's largest wooden tower invites here for a spectacular view to the construction site and the entire city. On the site of the former North Station are currently being built 10,000 homes and 20,000 jobs, on that of the Aspangbahn station is being built at Europe's greatest Passive House settlement "Euro Gate", the area of the North Western Railway Station is expected to be developed from 2020 for living and working. The largest currently under construction residential project but can be found in the north-eastern outskirts, where in Seaside Town Aspern till 2028 living and working space for 40,000 people will be created.
In one of the "green lungs" of Vienna, the Prater, 2013, the WU campus was opened for the largest University of Economics of Europe. Around the central square spectacular buildings of an international architect team from Great Britain, Japan, Spain and Austria are gathered that seem to lead a sometimes very loud conversation about the status quo of contemporary architecture (Hitoshi Abe, BUSarchitektur, Peter Cook, Zaha Hadid, NO MAD Arquitectos, Carme Pinós).
Flying high
International is also the number of architects who have inscribed themselves in the last few years with high-rise buildings in the skyline of Vienna and make St. Stephen's a not always unproblematic competition. Visible from afar is Massimiliano Fuksas' 138 and 127 meters high elegant Twin Tower at Wienerberg (1999-2001). The monolithic, 75-meter-high tower of the Hotel Sofitel at the Danube Canal by Jean Nouvel (2007-10), on the other hand, reacts to the particular urban situation and stages in its top floor new perspectives to the historical center on the other side.
Also at the water stands Dominique Perrault's DC Tower (2010-13) in the Danube City - those high-rise city, in which since the start of construction in 1996, the expansion of the city north of the Danube is condensed symbolically. Even in this environment, the slim and at the same time striking vertically folded tower of Perrault is beyond all known dimensions; from its Sky Bar, from spring 2014 on you are able to enjoy the highest view of Vienna. With 250 meters, the tower is the tallest building of Austria and almost twice as high as the St. Stephen's Cathedral. Vienna, thus, has acquired a new architectural landmark which cannot be overlooked - whether it also has the potential to become a landmark of the new Vienna, only time will tell. The architectural history of Vienna, where European history is presence and new buildings enter into an exciting and not always conflict-free dialogue with a great and outstanding architectural heritage, in any case has yet to offer exciting chapters.
Some delegates of the AFD-Party were, protected by the police, posing in front of the demonstrators. Some verbal provations were done from both sides.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Background:
After the German opposition party AFD (Alternative for Germany) had enforced the holding of its legally required party conference in the Grugahalle in Essen through the courts, representatives of the government parties and many NGOs called for protests. Violence broke out and the police had to protect the AFD federal party conference and the delegates who had arrived from attacks by demonstrators. 28 police officers were injured, 2 of them seriously.
The representatives of the government parties call themselves democrats. Since they do not recognize the AFD as a democratic party, they call on their supporters to fight the AFD.

To be able to look a man straight in the eye, calmly and deliberately, without the slightest ruffle of temper under extreme provocation, gives a sense of power which nothing else can give.
A bullfight bull, kept in a narrow corral, waits to be released into the arena of Corralejas, a rural bullfighting festival held in Soplaviento, Colombia. Every year during the dry season, villages and towns on the Caribbean coast of Colombia hold amateur bullfights, locally known as Corralejas. Families and people from all around meet on wooden bleachers of a temporarily built bullring to eat, drink and watch hundreds of amateur bullfighters risking their lives, taunting bulls, and showing their masculinity and courage in the arena. Unlike the corrida, the bulls in Corralejas are never killed. © Jan Sochor Photography
'A Map of the Sea and the De La Warr Pavilion' is Helen Cann’s newly commissioned mural for the De La Warr Pavilion’s Rooftop Foyer.
Cann’s drawing depicts the Pavilion facing a swirling sea of historic events and figures, current desires, provocations and predictions, and maritime details. Queen Cynethryth of 8th Century Mercia, the Pavilion’s architects, and the Maharajah of Cooch Behar, drift amongst spider crabs, sandbanks, the wreck of the Amsterdam, and a dinosaur whose footprints from the Mesozoic era were found on Bexhill beach. Ebbing and flowing throughout are comments and questions shared at community events, about how the Pavilion can collaborate with publics towards the creation of a more equitable, environmentally sustainable society.
The drawing is based on an Admiralty Chart that maps the seven-mile stretch between Norman’s Bay to the Pavilion’s West, and Bulverhythe to the East. While the map that Cann refers to accurately depicts the current shoreline, predictions about rising sea levels indicate that by 2050, many areas around the Pavilion may be subject to regular flooding, and the Pavilion may be completely under water in the future.
Helen Cann sees the area as “a border, constantly washing up visitors – invaders, tourists, migrants, refugees and those seeking health from a sunny beach and waters. And, of course, Pevensey Bay is part of the National Marine Conservation Area and home to a multitude of other creatures like shellfish, crabs, seahorses, and fish. This is an unconventional map, perhaps, but one that I hope gives a broader view of the place and its many layers.”
Helen Cann is an award-winning illustrator and artist with a special interest in mapmaking. Her illustrated maps have helped wanderers, armchair explorers, festival goers and nature lovers. They have appeared in books, TV and film props, folded small into brochures or shouting loudly as murals. Her personal work explores the intersection of place, flora, fauna, history, linguistics and community knowledge. She believes that multi-level mapping like this can lead to a deeper understanding and appreciation of the personal environment, resulting in the motivation to protect.
Previous clients have included Towner Gallery, the National Trust x the Cider Museum, Ditchling Museum of Art + Craft, Lionsgate Films, Ridley Scott Ass., MMoser Ass. x Unity Technologies, Bloomsbury, Octopus, BBC and HBO amongst others. She is the author of Hand Drawn Maps – a Creative Guide (Thames and Hudson).

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.
A provocation to him :-)

Last week I was fortunate enough to meet talented photographer and blogger, Bree Walk. We have been online friends and we wanted to get together and do a photo shoot (A couple days after this shoot she was leaving with her family and moving to California. I couldn't let her get away before we had the chance to meet!)
She was lovely and I can't wait for her to come back so we can do more shoots together :)
This photo is one Cory snapped and I edited with some of my own touches and with the help of Kim Miller's outstanding actions!
Amstelveen - Cobra Museum.
Exposition: We Kiss the Earth - Danish Modern Art 1934-1948.
Artists: Else Alfeit - Asger Jorn.
The Danish artists who started Cobra in 1948 had a lot of influence on the much younger Dutch and Belgian Cobra members. The focus is on developments in Danish modern art from the 1930s and 1940s, with important themes such as sexual freedom, politics, provocation, experimentation and spontaneity. Themes that would later have such a great influence on Cobra.
