The sun has set on another great musician.
"His star shines darkly"
An amazing voice. If you haven't heard his voice, have a listen to his version of Bob Dylan's 'Man in a long black coat"

Tribute To Audrey Hepburn
Thanks to Fabs for her kindness and patience
A last tribute to my dear father-in-law, who passed away in his sleep last weekend. He had been ill for some time.
He was very fond of gardening, so instead of flowers I folded some butterflies, representing his children and grandchildren.
We will miss him very much.
I will also be absent from Flickr for the rest of this week. Take care and see you later.
Tribute to Mary Travers,please take a time to view her lovely song^^

Peter, Paul and Mary was a musical group from the United States who were one of the most successful folk-singing groups of the 1960s.
Today, I've got a floral tribute for You.
When I passed this bush in the summer (in fact I was just on my way back to the car) suddenly Kylie Minogue and Nick Cave started to sing inside of my head. They still do it, every time I am watching this photograph. This was the decisive factor for the titel and the main reason, why I finally stopped there.
Heute gibt es einen kleinen Blumengruß für Euch.
Als ich im Sommer an diesem Busch vorbei kam (eigentlich war ich auf dem Weg zurück zum Auto) fingen plötzlich Kylie Minogue und Nick Cave in meinem Kopf an zu singen. Sie tun dies bis heute, sobald ich das Foto betrachte. Das war der ausschlaggebende Punkt für den Titel und dafür, dass ich überhaupt stehen geblieben bin.

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.

This amazing Tattoo my dear talented friend Spring Spring made, All 100% hand drawn by herself mind you, is very, very near and dear to her heart.
Sometimes words can't describe how we are feeling on the inside but art helps us be heard. It shows us pain, beauty and love from a few simple strokes.

I had originally intended to call this photo "natural vs artificial light" but the mood of this image made me think of the Linkin Park song.
5 years ago Chester Bennington passed away, this is also my modest way of paying tribute to him

The two strong beams of light resembling the Twin Towers' descent toward the heavens, they serve as a beacon of contemplation and reflection. The Tribute in Light has become a powerful international symbol of 9/11 for more than a decade.
Thank you for your comments.

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.

A year has sped by.....
I repost this today because it was Dean's favorite place to be,
and therefore the photo he liked best from my photostream.
Thanks again, Jon Herb, for letting us use your very moving words, I'll Be There. The aptness was unbelievable. Hugs.
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!
Sooner or later, even our closest companions must leave us and make their own way into the great eternity. The grief is very hard to bear, but I tell myself that this way we get to love more of them in our lifetime.
My deepest sympathies for the sudden loss of sweet Dee.

"A Wordless Text, Light on Water"
by Louise LeBourgeois and Steven Carrelli

This drawing was made collaboratively by a remarkable Chicago based artist couple. The drawing brings together their respective practices in a whimsical image that speak (for me) of the tenuous existence of someone like Temma (the indirect subject of all of the works in this project).
This is one of the 23 works in the upcoming enigmatic group exhibition titled "Deposition: Drawn" at North Park University. Opening reception on February 14 (Valentine's Day!) 4:30 - 6:30 and running through March 9.
This exhibition is an unusual mash-up of my work as curator (primarily as gallery director at @npuchicago ) and my work as an artist (particularly work that is related to my most frequent subject, my daughter Temma). I sent each of the participating artists a unique prompt which was for me somehow related to Temma. The participating artists then made a drawing related to their prompt. They also developed an accompanying text / title for the drawing. And then they sent that text to me along with a high resolution scan of their drawing.

Walter Cronkite, one of America's leading news reporters and journalist, died two days ago at the age of 92. He was the man who told America President John F. Kennedy had died, and informed us of so many important events in our history. Like so many other Americans growing up in the 1950s and 1960s, he was to me America's most trusted man. Walter Cronkite was a role model to so many and he will be greatly missed by the world.
Vinicio Capossela
...perché io amo quest'uomo
(purtroppo ero piuttosto distante, con troppe teste di ragazzi e ragazzi e stangoni davanti, con lo zoom al massimo e con poca luce...di foto ne sono venute poche)
[Soundtrack: Vinicio Capossela - al veglione]
[...]
che bella serata ch'è stata
che bella serata passata
attenzione battaglione
l'ultimo ballo del mattone
allacciatevi nel lento
cade un festone sul pavimento
guidate con prudenza
guidate con prudenza
guidate con prudenza
e buonanotte.
One must have a mind of winter
To regard the frost and the boughs
Of the pine-trees crusted with snow;
And have been cold a long time
To behold the junipers shagged with ice,
The spruces rough in the distant glitter
Of the January sun; and not to think
Of any misery in the sound of the wind,
In the sound of a few leaves,
Which is the sound of the land
Full of the same wind
That is blowing in the same bare place
For the listener, who listens in the snow,
And, nothing himself, beholds
Nothing that is not there and the nothing that is.
-- Wallace Stevens
