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.

"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

"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."

Call me Snake offers an optimistic provocation – ‘imagine what could be here’ by Judy Millar. On a walk into the city October 3, 2015 Christchurch New Zealand.
The work is comprised of vibrant graphics of Millar’s looped paintings, which are adhered to five intersecting flat planes, and draws inspiration from the forms found in pop-up books. The colourful piece will add a dramatic and rhythmic counterpoint to the city’s current urban landscape — a mix of flattened sites, construction zones and defiant buildings that have stood through the quakes. The work employs theatricality, playfulness and visual trickery, whereby the viewer is unsure about the work’s flatness or three-dimensionality; and it has been designed to offer a different perspective from each angle. The bright colours interrupt the grey of the work’s surrounds, and as buildings pop up around it,
SCAPE 8, New Intimacies curated by Rob Garrett was a contemporary art event which mixed new artworks with existing legacy pieces, an education programme, and a public programme of events. The SCAPE 8 artworks were located around central Christchurch and linked via a public art walkway. All aspects of SCAPE 8 were free-to-view.
The title for the 2015 Biennial – New Intimacies – came from the idea that visually striking and emotionally engaging public art works can create new connections between people and places. Under the main theme of New Intimacies there are three other themes that artists responded to: Sight-Lines, Inner Depths and Shared Strengths.

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 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
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.

A narrow Castletown street animated by an unexpected sight: bicycles strung overhead, hovering between historic façades like paused thoughts mid-journey. Part public art, part gentle provocation, the installation adds a note of levity to the town’s otherwise measured rhythm.
Against stone walls, shopfronts and old street lamps, the bicycles become graphic silhouettes — a reminder that even the most tradition-minded places leave room for invention, humour, and a little visual surprise.
Mouvement suspendu
Castletown, Isle of Man
Dans une rue étroite de Castletown, des bicyclettes semblent flotter entre les façades, suspendues comme un mouvement arrêté dans le temps. À mi-chemin entre installation artistique et clin d’œil urbain, la scène introduit une touche de légèreté dans le paysage bâti.
Découpées en silhouettes graphiques sur le ciel, elles dialoguent avec les lampadaires et l’architecture ancienne — preuve que même les lieux les plus ancrés dans l’histoire savent accueillir l’invention et l’humour.

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!

[ ... A BIG KID PLAYS WITH A CHEAP CAMERA AND AN EVEN CHEAPER APP ]
SIMPLE TEST OF BUGGY/CRAPPY/UBER-IFFY LAPTOP BUNDLED SOFTWARE -- A VIDEO EDITOR. THE DAMNED THING, A MICROSOFT DEMON SURREPTITIOUSLY PLANTED ON MY HD, NO DOUBT, IT RANDOMLY ATTACKS WITH UNSETTLING FREQUENCY, OPENING WITHOUT THE LEAST PROVOCATION. SO FINALLY, I SNAPPED... "GO AHEAD, SHOW ME YOUR [CENSORED] ALREADY." I HAVE A SEMI-SOLID EDITOR, BUT IT'S DECIDED CRASHING IS A SIMPLER, AND OF COURSE MORE INSTANT REWARD. ;)
THE ANNOYWARE IS EXTREMELY LIMITED, SHOCKERAMA, AND APPROPRIATELY SIMPLE. I REMEMBERED THIS FIREBALL LOCATED AT ALMOST THE VERY BEGINING OF ONE OF MY AUGUST 2014 LOW-FI RECORDINGS (IT'S ELEMENTAL... PERFECT). THIS WAS CLOSE TO SUNRISE, AND IT'S RATHER OBVIOUS THAT THE SENSORS ARE TRYING TO COMPENSATE. THE FIRST 33.X SECONDS OF THE ORIGINAL FILE DEMAND ZOFRAN (ANTI-NAUSEA MED) AS THE TRIPOD IS EVIDENTLY PICKING A FIGHT W/ ME. BUT, AS SOON AS THE CAMERA STABILIZED, THIS METEOR DELIVERED ITS TIMELY SWAN SONG.
I HAVE QUITE A FEW EVENT-RELATED MOVIES [ LIGHTNING, & METEORS, & HARES.....], BUT HAVE NEVER REALLY BOTHERED WITH PRESENTATION LIKE THIS. I WASN'T SURE IF I SHOULD SHOW THE METEOR AGAIN, PERHAPS SLOWING THINGS DOWN [OOPS. MONTY PYTHON MOMENT: 'THE BLOOD GOES SQUIRTING OUT PSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSHHH IN SLOOOOOW MOTION' -- APOLOGIES]. HMMM. SUGGESTIONS?
THANKS FOR CHECKING OUT MY ÜBER-AMATEUR TEST, BTW. PROST.
