L'occupazione dello spazio
...
Any human intervention on the territory makes it potentially anthropized, because it modifies it in a way that can have repercussions in the biological or spatial field in the short or long term. Geography, as a discipline, in addition to studying the physical environment, studies anthropic phenomena and their impact on the natural environment.

Summit and canyon on the side of Espírito Santo.
How many trails of those massive mountain ranges would it take to conquer the summit of what would be the highest “mountain” in the Empire of Brazil? It was long, tortuous, very cold and humid, the path that ended above the clouds, at 2,892 meters of altitude. But the imposing peak needed to be duly conquered and demarcated by the national flag, the green, yellow, white and indigo blue flag of Brazil.
For it was Dom Pedro II who ordered that the symbol of the Brazilian nation be installed with gallantry there in those heights, at a point located on the border of the territory that would become the states of Minas Gerais and Espírito Santo. The conquest of the place that soon came to be called Pico da Bandeira had repercussions and was very emblematic, but even today the unfathomable beauties of the region once dominated by a thriving Atlantic forest, guardian of very important natural treasures of this biome so sadly mistreated throughout the centuries.

Celacanth provokes tidal waves (2004-2008) was presented for the first time, in 1999, at Galeria Camargo Vilaça (São Paulo) in a reduced version and with another title: “Azulejões”. It was from its montage at the Fondation Cartier pour l’Art Contemporain (France), in 2005, that Adriana Varejão conceived the current format of the work, which today occupies the four walls of the gallery room.
The artist's starting point is Portuguese Baroque tiles, in which the play of shapes, volumes and shadows is recurrent in this artistic style. Here, four walls with 184 tiles, with a cracked surface as if they had suffered the passage of time, are arranged in a disorderly manner, producing the appearance of a large wave, a tidal wave. The title of the work refers to the graffiti found in Rio de Janeiro, in the 1970s, made by Carlos Alberto Teixeira, who was inspired by the phrase he heard in the Japanese series National Kid, and which had great repercussion at the time.
Quartering the topmost branches of one of the tall trees, an invisible bird was striving to make the day seem shorter, exploring with a long-drawn note the solitude that pressed it on every side, but it received at once so unanimous an answer, so powerful a repercussion of silence and of immobility, that one felt it had arrested for all eternity the moment which it had been trying to make pass more quickly.
― Marcel Proust

I caught these rainy day ripples on a pond in a private garden in Porto, Portugal. My mind wanders to the hope that our national nightmare may soon come to an end without too much damage.
"Everything we do, even the slightest thing we do, can have a ripple effect and repercussions that emanate. If you throw a pebble into the water on one side of the ocean, it can create a tidal wave on the other side,

Étang de Vaccarès is a salt water lagoon, in the wetlands of the Camargue in the delta of the River Rhône in southern France.
The lake is an important place for rest and food for migratory birds, and it also has a population of the greater flamingo. Because of its importance for wild birds, the Étang de Vaccarès with its surrounding wetlands has been protected as a nature reserve since 1927, and in 1972 it was incorporated into the Parc Régional de Camargue.
Even though the lake is «protected», it is nevertheless exposed to the repercussions of pollution from the large industrial parks nearby, and runoff from the surrounding agricultural areas. Studies show that fish from the lake contains significant levels of contamination.

I really was, then. Hiding who I was..
**Older Self Portrait**
_______________
I never admitted what I was doing. I would never take respectability for my actions, and the repercussions of my actions either. And I wasn't always doing right. I was using drugs, and hanging around people (very close to me) who were doing worse. Even if I didn't partake in the same actions, I still put myself in that category because I was with them.. and supported them as 'family' in everything that they did. I was young and naïve. I feel so sad for that girl. I knew in my heart this was all wrong and that I should run.. but I was addicted to the people and the lifestyle MORE than the drugs.. and I just couldn't stay away. It caused me so much pain and hurt - I look back and wish I would have... but one cannot change the past.
So much as changed since then .. Especially ME. Who I am, as an individual. I do right, no matter what. I've always had RIGHT in my heart, but I didn't always live it. I live by the Lord's word and I do the right thing (even when nobody is looking or will know about it). And it feels right. It's my new "high". And it's amazing.
I'm grateful for who I am today.

Feelin' light and low
Like nothin I've felt before
My woman is black, but now she's blue
And I'm wonderin just what to do
(the day is new)
A motor-city love affair
In the heat of the night
A woman dark and debonair
Too hard to resist
The moment you've kissed
Feelin' good, feelin' down
Repercussions of a heavy heart
(torn apart)
The summer night is hot
But soon turns cold
Like a winter's song
(when something's wrong)
Oh lady black! please don't be blue
Wash the midnight with the morning dew

Kodachrome Basin State Park is located on the Colorado Plateau, an uplifted region that covers much of the four corners area of Utah, Arizona, New Mexico and Colorado. Within the park, the exposed formations range from the middle Jurassic Period (180 million years ago) to the Cretaceous Period (95 million years ago).
In 1948 the National Geographic Society explored and photographed the area for a story that appeared in the September 1949 issue of National Geographic. They named the area Kodachrome Flat, after the then relatively new brand of Kodak film they used. In 1962 the area was designated a state park. Fearing repercussions from the Kodak film company for using the name Kodachrome, the name was changed to Chimney Rock State Park, but renamed Kodachrome Basin a few years later with Kodak's permission.
Hope you have a great week ahead. Thanks, as always, for stopping by and for all of your kind comments.

It was really easy to find vegetarian food in Crete, Santorini, and Athens...vegan was a little trickier. I can tell things are slowly evolving. There is always eggplant and fava dip, olives and sometimes falafel. This street art is from Athens, where there was the most vegan food. Unfortunately, because of a religious holiday that I didn't know about, 90% of the places we tried to visit were closed the entire week we were there. Mama Tierra and Veganaki were both fantastic, though. The world is slowly changing but I honestly don't know if it will be fast enough with all the methane gas unnecessary cattle are adding to the environment and the repercussions from that will be damning to our next generations.

This old house is a good analogy for the human condition. Years of hardships and viscitudes can take their toll on the human soul. Previous trauma leaves it’s mark too with repercussions that continue into the present reality. I think here of Victor Hugo’s novel Les Miserable where the prisoner Jean Valjean is given a new lease on life when incredible kindness is unexpectedly shown to him by an old priest. The past continues to try to haunt him to drag him down and destroy him but the support he was given proves to be the key for inherent goodness to triumph in the end. Do you see someone for whom a little support might be decisive? Don’t hold back. You may help change the trajectory of a human life. Cheers.
No matter the denomination of faith, religious structures are grand monuments of a higher theological being, state of being or otherworldly-place to their doctorine's believers, and - no matter the faith of the observer - their structural splendour can be admired without fear of repercussion.
Uiteindelijk kon ik vlotjes de iets meer dan een kilometer korte autorit vanuit Weiler afleggen: op deze wegen is meestal niet veel verkeer - of je moet al achter een tractor verzeilen.
Zo vlot dat ik eest nog de IRE 3 op foto kon zetten (een terugkerende 425 021-3), waarna uiteindelijk de RB van de Bodensee Oberschwaben Bahn op de proppen kwam: de vertraging van deze trein was ondertussen al opgelopen tot twintig minuten!
Deze keer kreeg ik twee blauwe stelletjes voor de lens, de 426 043 en een mij onbekend exemplaar.
Erg leuk om te zien hoe de trein hier door de bocht komt, een bocht die trouwens pas veel duidelijker is geworden door de elektrificatie.
Benieuwd of de snelle trein die zou volgen, opgehouden zou worden door dit stoppertje.
-----
After a short drive from Weiler, I arrived in Lohner - so quickly that I was still able to make first of all a picture of the IRE 3 (425 021-3 returning from Ulm) before finally the BOB Regionalbahn showed up. With a delay of 20 minutes the train passed Lohner in direction of Friedrichshafen.
Would this delay have repercussions for the fast train that I expected very soon?

Tipping points are triggered when temperatures reach a certain level, whereby one impact rapidly leads to a series of cascading events with vast repercussions. For instance, as rising temperatures lead to the melting of Arctic permafrost, the unfreezing soil releases methane, a powerful greenhouse gas that in turn causes more heating.

Other tipping points include the melting of polar ice sheets, which once under way may be almost impossible to reverse even if carbon emissions are rapidly reduced, and which would raise sea levels catastrophically over many decades, and the possibility of the Amazon rainforest switching suddenly to savannah, which scientists have said could come quickly and with relatively small temperature rises.

Native to North America, the Trumpeter Swan presented in previous posts, was eradicated from the province of Ontario by the late 1860’s as a result of over hunting for their meat, feathers and hides. Concurrently, European settlers began to bring Mute Swans to North America in the 1870’s for ornamental purposes, principally. The Mute Swan is now considered an invasive species in Canada, but due to human actions as opposed to the birds coming over on their own volition. Over time, their populations exploded, spreading beyond controlled environments into natural habitats where they began to outcompete native bird species such as ducks and geese for resources. This population boom can be directly attributed to insufficient regulation and monitoring of non-native species, again highlighting humanity's role in enabling their invasion.
So, Mute Swans did not displace Trumpeter Swans and are not responsible for being in North America. Calls for culling Mute Swans are unfair to this bird and very impractical because the population will keep rebounding. Demonizing Mute Swans as in saying they disrupt the environment for other native species or that they are aggressive toward other wildlife, dogs and humans might be just one of those time-tested tactics to seed dislike of the bird amongst the human population. Are Mute Swans an environmental problem in their native Europe and Asia with similar climate and ecosystems where they’ve been for over 6,000 years?
If there are significant ecological repercussions of this particular invasion, and there are countless other examples, that’s a clear evidence of our responsibility which serves as a reminder of how human introduction of non-native species can have unintended, long-lasting consequences. Considering the two birds share the same behaviours and eating habits, would this real or perceived ecological imbalance attributed to the Mute Swans be course corrected by replacing them with Trumpeters?
Since their introduction to North America in the 1870’s, Mute Swan population in Ontario grew to 500 individuals by 1985 and by 2012 had risen to 3,000 birds. Comparatively, the Trumpeters, introduced back in the Province of Ontario in 1982, grew to about 1,500 individual by 2015, already half the Mute population with the latter benefiting from a 500 members headstart. Notwithstanding Ontario’s reportedly ineffective population management of the Mute Swans, the growth in Trumpeter Swan numbers appears to be quite satisfactory in spite of the claims that they are being suppressed and bullied by the somewhat larger Mute Swans sharing the same habitats. Indeed, when observing large flocks of Mutes and Trumpeters gathered on the same limited areas of open water during the winter, I noticed significantly more inter-species squabbling than aggressivity between Mutes and Trumpeters.
So, despite the presence of Mute Swans, it appears Trumpeter Swans have been holding their own in their competitive natural environment. Considering the above, perhaps it would be best to consider the Mute Swan naturalized to North America, after all they were invited here, and do our own research before adhering to talking points from sources that may or may not have hidden agendas or influencing biases.
Mute Swans are gorgeous birds despite the negative press they are given.

The things we do sometimes have repercussions. Danbo was feeling sad and it looks like he may have been punished.
Happy Wednesday
Got a big plan, his mind's set, maybe it's right
At the right place and right time, maybe tonight
In a whisper or handshake sending a sign
Wanna make out and kiss hard, wait never mind
Late night, in passing, mention it flip to her
Best friend, it's no thing, maybe it slipped
But the slip turns to terror and a crush to like
When she walked in he froze up, leave it to fright
It's cute in a way, 'til you cannot speak
And you leave to have a cigarette, knees get weak
Escape was just a nod and a casual wave
Obsess about it, heavy for the next two days
It's only just a crush, it'll go away
It's just like all the others it'll go away
Or maybe this is danger and you just don't know
You pray it all away but it continues to grow
I want to hold you close
Skin pressed against me tight
Lie still, close your eyes girl
So lovely, it feels so right
I want to hold you close
Soft breath, beating heart
As I whisper in your ear
I wanna fucking tear you apart
Then he walked up and told her, thinking maybe it'd pass
And they talked and looked away a lot, doing the dance
Her hand brushed up against his, she left it there
Told him how she felt and then they locked in a stare
They took a step back, thought about it, what should they do
'Cause there's always repercussions when you're dating in school
But their lips met, and reservations started to pass
Whether this was just an evening or a thing that would last
Either way he wanted her and this was bad
Wanted to do things to her it was making him crazy
Now a little crush turned into a like
And now he wants to grab her by the hair and tell her
I want to hold you close
Skin pressed against me tight
Lie still, close your eyes girl
So lovely, it feels so right
I want to hold you close
Soft breath, beating heart
As I whisper in your ear
I wanna fucking tear you apart
I want to hold you close
Skin pressed against me tight
Lie still, close your eyes girl
So lovely, it feels so right
I want to hold you close
Soft breath, beating heart
As I whisper in your ear
I wanna fucking tear you apart
I want to hold you close
Skin pressed against me tight
Lie still, close your eyes girl
So lovely, it feels so right
I want to hold you close
Soft breath, beating heart
As I whisper in your ear
I wanna fucking tear you apart
It's Canada Day tomorrow. This year, in light of recent discoveries of the unmarked graves of First Nations children, we are displaying this shirt rather than the Canadian flag. This isn't an anti-patriotic statement but an acknowledgement and remembrance of the awfulness what was allowed to occur in times past. The repercussions are ongoing.

This is Smokey. He is all gray and about seven years old. He came to live with us about two weeks ago. His previous owner who had had him since he was a kitten could no longer care for him so Smokey moved in with another family member but they already had a number of pets and a small child. Smokey was posted on our neighborhood webpage as available for adoption. The post was spotted by my wife on the first day. After the third day of posts my wife started pursuing adoption. Two independent vet checkups later Smokey was at our house. He was quarantined in his own room and from our other cat Sundance (also seven years old) for a few days. My wife spent much time with Smokey on those days so they could get acquainted. Upon the first meeting with Sundance (through a partially opened door) Smokey was hissing and spitting at Sundance but Sundance did not return the sentiment at that time. A couple of days later Smokey was finally released from quarantine and allowed to explore his new home under close supervision. Sundance kept his distance but if Smokey came to close Sundance would then hiss at Smokey. However, last night Smokey tried out Sundance’s rocking chair and even was up in Sundance’s cat tree with no repercussions. Finally, as of this morning both seemed to be comfortable with one another. But Smokey still has his own room for sanctuary (fully equipped with all the cat needs). Of course, when he is out of that room supervision on our part will continue.
As it stands, it appears we are a two cat family once again.

Étang de Vaccarès is a lake, or rather; a salt water lagoon (étang), in the wetlands of the Camargue in the delta of the River Rhône in southern France.
The lake has an area of 65 km², and the depth is less than two meters. It is the northernmost, and also the largest of the lakes of the Camargue, and constitutes the principal element in the water control system of the Rhône delta, which depends upon a strict management of water resources, through pumping, irrigation and draining stations making a complex network of channels throughout the river delta.
The lake is also an important place for rest and food for migratory birds, and it also has a population of the greater flamingo.[1] Because of its importance for wild birds, the Étang de Vaccarès with its surrounding wetlands has been protected as a nature reserve since 1927, and in 1972 it was incorporated into the Parc Régional de Camargue.
Even though the lake is «protected», it is nevertheless exposed to the repercussions of pollution from the large industrial parks nearby, and runoff from the surrounding agricultural areas. Studies show that fish from the lake contains significant levels of contamination.

Some sort of white fake-chocolate carob doggy treat on sale at the vet's where my cat Jester had a blood test on Saturday.
For the last year, He's had stiff back legs and been unable to jump up on furniture. The treatment was anti-inflammatory drops which alleviated the problem. However, we recently learned that this 13 yo cat can live to 18 years, so being on this medication might damage his liver taking it long term.
Update: Good news. Jester's blood test came through - all negative. He can continue with the anti-inflammatory medication with no repercussions!

On Refusal, Infiltration, and the Gift
Upon being invited to exhibit at Kunsthaus Bregenz in autumn 2025, the artist decided to withdraw their identity. Not as a retreat but as a method: an intentional refusal of the economies of authorship, legacy, and visibility.
While anonymity can be used as a tool for the dissemination of ideas without censorship or repercussions on a position of “dissent”; anonymity here questions the motivations of authorship and its subsequent economies. If there is no distinguishable entity or person(s) for the work to be ascribed to, then the impetus for creating the work must revise the mode of production, aesthetic sensibilities, and lines of inquiry related to previous work. What remains is an anti-capitalist proposition that infiltrates the infrastructure that identity offers in an art-historical and cultural landscape.
Installed on the museum’s top floor is a 7.2-by-7.2-meter modular house. Constructed from 249 pieces of aluminum and two panes of glass, it is fully inhabitable with sleeping quarters, a kitchen, a bathroom, and a retractable table. It connects directly to the museum’s electricity, water, and wastewater system, parasiting the building.
Parasitic architecture is the practice of attaching a new structure to an existing one. While benefitting from its host’s infrastructures, in Bregenz, the parasite and host enter into a symbiosis.
Visitors to the exhibition are invited to inhabit the space—to sit, lie down, use the bathroom. After the exhibition, it will continue to exist as a movable artists’ residence: a living, working structure built to be disassembled, moved, and reassembled elsewhere. It offers itself as a tool—unfinished by design—that is preserved through utility.
On the floors below, architectural skins echo the blueprint of the house above. These flexible membranes are designed to adapt the structure for different climates. A manual accompanies the house, with step-by-step instructions for its reassembly.
The dwelling cannot be bought, archived, or owned. It exists to be lived in, passed on, altered, repurposed. It resists the afterlife of art as a commodity, thereby undoing the logic that equates value with permanence or visibility with truth.
The house uses the exhibition’s financial resources to build itself. Privileging flexibility not as an aesthetic gesture but as a political stance, it adapts out of necessity: to climate, context, and use. It is architecture without fidelity—a form designed to outlive the systems it survives through.
