A tribute to fellow Flickr photographers and friends.
Thank you for all the inspiration and learning. I had an amazing time over last year fiddling with photography from auto to manual mode.
And no it is not me :)
If you decide to travel along this highway into the bowels of the Universe, carry enough fuel to cover the billions of light years ahead of you. You won't find a place to refuel. When you have travelled this distance without finding anything, not even a little bit of intelligent life and you reach the far reaches of the Universe... don't be scared... there's nothing there, either. Only the "nothing". Or since everything is cyclical, perhaps you have returned to the place where you started, full of wisdom from your long trip. It's probably better to look for intelligent life on Earth, but it's also very likely that you'll have a hard time finding it. Don't worry about not understanding the Universe or the reason for its existence... you're not Einstein, but one day you'll understand that... The Universe is wounded, but it still has infinity ahead of it. It still has you and me. Merry Christmas to all and to the infinite Universe that is within you.
Gregory Alan Isakov - The Universe
Y el Universo está susurrando tan suavemente que puedo oírlo todo... el zumbido de los insectos, todos los taxis, todo el cambio gastado de los vagabundos, todos los chicos jugando a la pelota en los callejones. Son sólo pliegues en su vestido. El Universo, está herido, pero aún tiene el infinito por delante. Todavía nos tiene a ti y a mí. Y todos dicen que es hermoso. Y todos dicen...

Music for your trip to the Universe:
Ground Control to Major Tom. Ground Control to Major Tom. Take your protein pills and put your helmet on. Ground Control to Major Tom (ten, nine, eight, seven, six)... Commencing countdown, engines on (five, four, three)... Check ignition and may God's love be with you (two, one, liftoff...)
Pink Floyd - Shine On You Crazy Diamond, Parts VI–IX
"Shine On You Crazy Diamond", was written as a tribute to Syd Barrett, one of the founders of Pink Floyd. He was also known as "The Crazy Diamond Syd". Barrett was a very creative musician and is considered one of the rock icons, with a strong influence on many artists, very especially to David Bowie. Syd Barrett is a key piece to understand the evolution of rock in the 70s.. Excessive drug use, especially LSD, caused him serious mental health problems. Syd Barrett died in 2006 at the age of 60. Always shine diamond.
The Universal is a science fiction song written as a tribute to two films by film director Stanley Kubrick. In the video, the Blur members wear outfits similar to Alex and his gang of thugs, the protagonists of the movie "A Clockwork Orange." The image used for the cover of the single alluded to what is possibly Kubrick's best film: "2001: To Space Odyssey."
We haven't changed that much in 300,000 years of evolution.

PS: Ground Control to Major Tom. Your circuit's dead, there's something wrong. Can you hear me, Major Tom? Can you hear me, Major Tom? Can you hear me, Major Tom? Can you...
"Here am I floating 'round my tin can, far above the moon. Planet Earth is blue. And there's nothing I can do" (Major Tom)
PS: Merry Christmas to all Flick(e)r users... and to the Universe full of crazy diamonds that shine... And Major Tom
Another tribute to one of the old masters, Saul Leiter.

@Inez, 1947
A tribute from nature for those who perished as well as those who had their lives forever altered on Sept. 11. In so many ways it seems like yesterday and prayers that there is never a tomorrow like that day again.
911 Memorial, New York, NY
The twin beams of Tribute In Light shoot skyward commemorating the 10th anniversary of the September 11 attacks in New York City. As the evening weather is drizzling, overcast with low and thick clouds, the two vertical columns of light do not reach as high in the sky and the blue hue is not as visible as in prior years.
God said “ I need someone who can hear the sneeze through closed doors, in the middle of the night, 3 bedrooms away while daddy snores next to her, who could kiss the boo-boos, scare away the monsters under the bed, clean up the middle-of-the-night accidents, and live off 4 hours of interrupted sleep-so God made a mother.
Much missed, thanks mom for all you did while I was growing up, your children and grand children miss you.
I was really sad to hear that Elvion and its creators chose to leave their virtual worlds but I wish them the very best in the real world.
My time didn´t allow me to explore Elvion very often, but when it did, I had the most magical encounters.
Call it magic, call it true
I call it magic when I'm with you
And I just got broken, broken into two
Still I call it magic, when I'm next to you
Flowers left on the step of a beach hut on the coast at Southend. Leaves me with so many questions as to who they are for. I like the bold primary colours of the hut and flowers and the sand attached to them from the beach.
In my Blocks-tessellation-serie I added each time more and more diagonals with every new model. This time I added them all, as you see.
In fact this is one tessellation, I folded it twice so you can see the back and the front both in the colored version. Only the edge is a bit different.
I call this tessellation "Tribute", because the pattern I found (independently), has similarity with the founders of tessellations Shuzo Fujimoto (Japan) and Frank van Kollum (The Netherlands).
So it's not new what I doing, I just like playing with geometrical forms, mixing them up and it's fun to do ;-))
Folded from 15x15cm kamipaper (harmony), grit 1:32 + all diagonals.

Needed to have an image related to the Queens passing in my stream. I thought this was quite respectfully done.

Tonight in Sydney.
Monday, 15th April, 2024.
The Sydney Opera House sails are lit up tonight with a black ribbon, to honour the victims of the tragedy at Bondi.
I travelled into the city after work this evening to capture the Opera House with its black ribbon.
The parking gods were smiling because I scored a car-space along Hickson Road, right outside the Park Hyatt Hotel (who does that?), then walked a short distance to the Overseas Passenger Terminal where, near the Quay Restaurant (closed tonight, I noted) you get a great vantage point looking out across Sydney harbour to the Opera House.
But then, I returned to the car, to hear on the news that in western Sydney tonight there has been another mass stabbing. Good grief - what is going on? This time a Christian priest and multiple worshippers were stabbed at Christ The Good Shepherd Church, in the western Sydney suburb of Wakeley (near Fairfield).
Unbelievable, given the events at Bondi just two day's ago.
Anyway, back to the black ribbon. It was, I thought, I grand tribute to those who lost their lives on Saturday at Bondi.

Exposing for the highlights on a sunny day. Avoiding the horrid news. Slightly desaturated in the center of the thistle.
Thanks for looking. Staying reasonably sane by wandering around outdoors for as long as it takes. 2020?
Yesterday we lost Jane Goodall, primatologist and conservationist, who was a tireless advocate for the protection and restoration of the natural world. She did extraordinary work studying Chimpanzees by immersing herself in their world from the inside for months on end. Our paths crossed when we served on the Board of a medical institution in East Africa in the late 1990s and early 2000s. She was a remarkable woman!
Someone left the rose in place and I took the picture when he went. I made the composition of the picture as I could. Hence, it is not good. A real place.

Subject: Yemọja, a major water spirit from the Yoruba religion
Medium: Digital Artwork
Inspiration: "Yemọja is often depicted as a mermaid, and is associated with the moon (in some Diaspora communities), water, and feminine mysteries. She is the protector of women. She governs everything pertaining to women; parenting, child safety, love, and healing. According to myth, when her waters broke, it caused a great flood creating rivers and streams and the first mortal humans were created from her womb."
The Lethbridge Viaduct or Hi Level Bridge, as it's also known, was completed in 1909 and cost a staggering (at that time) sum of 1.3 million dollars. It was originally built to access the coal mines in the area, which in their heyday, numbered around a hundred along with over 3200 km of tunnels. Spanning 1.6 km long and 96 meters high, it's the longest and highest trestle bridge in the world and is still used today.
In a park on the edge of the coulee overlooking the bridge, there were a couple of sculptured locomotive wheels placed in tribute to the Galt family, who were key figures in the development of Lethbridge. I thought it would be interesting to catch the setting sun as it ducked behind one of the wheels. It was a spontaneous decision to try for the shot and a friend was kind enough to bring us here. Unfortunately, I was ill prepared and did not have a tripod with me. Also, in retrospect, I should have looked for a composition to show more separation of the bridge as it's kind of lost in the background. This is the best of three shots, which is is enhanced with saturation and sharpness to qualify for Sliders Sunday.
