@honeydueOne of the things I knew I had to do while in Barcelona was visit Montjuic Cemetery.
Perhaps it's the writer in me, but I've always had a fascination for cemeteries.The concept of them, the need to know where we left someone and the comfort that provides us with offers tremendous insight in how we work. How clueless we are and how frighteningly small our understanding of death (and implicitly existence) is.
Cemeteries are a place designed, in my opinion, not for the dead, but exclusively for the living. They are places designated for grief, which gives us this funny illusion that grief can be managed, if only we assign a particular place for it.
@paolobenefortiHere are my new drawings. I made few in the last weeks, mostly because of the heat (we had 40掳C just a few days ago.
I made also this oil painting
Unfortunately, we won't be at Hivefest in september. It is too expensive for us.
@raj808I have been very busy the last 18 months with various writing projects, a new relationship 馃榾 and getting on with the business of turning my passion for creative writing into, well... a business.
This means I've had little spare time, and what I have had, is very precious to me.
It is important to have passion in life, and creative outlets are my essential go-to for wellbeing and relaxation. It was with this in mind, that nearly 6 months ago I joined a wood turning club in my home city of Liverpool.
@sammy00Hello everyone.
Old castles are always interesting place to visit. They are history lessons and I think they are worth visiting. In my home place there are several old castles. Some of them are in better shape than others. The Old Castle of Ostro啪ac or Stari grad Ostro啪ac is very big castle and very beautiful one.
It is located in city Cazin which is in north west part of Bosnia and Herzegovina. . Croatia is very close, you can see the mount Plje拧avica from the Castle which is natural border between two country.
@lichtkunstfotoGreetings, friends of invisible light photography. Yesterday I was out and about with my camera in F眉rstlich Drehna. The town in southern Brandenburg is exactly 100 kilometres away. The journey in the air-conditioned car was quite relaxed despite the busy motorway. When I got out in Drehna, it was as if someone had hit me in the head with a roof batten; 32掳C and not a breath of fresh air. But what don't you do for art? Infrared photography also works better when there is a lot of infrared light, i.e. in the summer heat.
In the heat, I was the only crazy person walking through the park. There had to be something good about the whole thing. I could just start taking pictures. Nobody was in the picture, nobody asked strange questions.
