Our good neighbors bought 4 pieces of pretty pastries to share with us, and we took the opportunity to shoot a quick (umm... maybe not that quick) round before digging in. Here's the first out of four shots of them.

Afro-Brazilian Art - II
Today was the 9th. Batizado (graduation ceremony) of Capoeira Beija-Flor. Our Grupo Cultural Beija-Flor opened the event at 09:00am with their exuberant Afro-Brazilian dance, Maculelê, to the powerful rhythmic sounds of authentic African drums.
The Afro-Brazilian art forms, Maculelê and Capoeira, are closely connected.
Maculelê is a stick-dance that originated in the sugar cane fields of Brazil during slavery and brings together the traditions of different African tribes with those of Brazilian Indians. As a symbol of their work on the sugar cane plantations, the dancers carry sticks, and sometimes machetes. They simulate combat by hitting the sticks together to the rhythm of the atabaque (a percussion instrument).
Capoeira is a beautiful combination of dance, martial arts and acrobatics, second only to soccer in the preference of Brazilians as a national sport. Both art forms were created by Africans enslaved in Brazil in the XVII century, and developed through the ages as part of the Afro-Brazilian struggle for freedom.
The melodies, rhythms and songs of Maculelê and Capoeira carry the teachings of our ancestors and reflect the invincible spirit and imagination of the Brazilian slaves. These extremely dynamic art forms contribute towards some of the most traditional cultural practices in Brazil.
Please don't forget to visit Tatiana Cardeal's great photos from this event.

Art Smoke 2.0a
Finally got my file server hooked up and now I settled down in my new home, I can get back to "flickr'ing" again. :)
I took this one as part of a series of inscent abstract smoke art a while ago shortly before my move. I refined the technique a little bit by restricting the light to a "flat" beam sweeping across from the side instead of having a bare flash lighting up unwanted parts. This results in much sharper images due to the better controlled focus, and also less dust particles caught. This makes the retouching job so much easier. Again, this is far from perfect, and I'm still trying to figure out how to improve upon it.
More on this on my blog later.

California Roll with extra advocado thinly sliced on top. It actually tastes really good and feels silky smooth in my mouth although I've never been a big fan of advocado.

Should have posted this a while ago but I don't even have a picture to post... I'm busy organizing things in our new home, and I'll be busy for a little while. I'll be back in maybe a couple weeks from now, or until I find a spot where I can shoot again once I settle down. Happy Holidays!

Afro-Brazilian Art - IV
Our young and talented percussionist, 16-year old Edimilson da Silva Benedito of the Banda Beija-Flor, knows how to preserve the true spirit of African drumming with incredible flexibility and high-speed.

PARADIGM SHIFT - They changed our Perception and the Arts forever...
Digitalism is the Turning Point in the Development of Arts. There are kompletely new, unexplored Options of Expression and Kommunikation now... Such unbelieveable Possibilities and untrod Ways - we kan walk again, we kan invent and quest again like the Diskoverers of the older Days!
I always prefer physikal Things: a good Meal, relaxing Sleep, hard Work, a friendly Hug or a tender Touch of my Princess... yet as a playing Kid I´m open for now and the Tools of today... As always, we decide how we use the Machines we´ve kreated...
Don´t waste your Life infront of Skreens... ;O)
[This is no Assembly/Montage (of kourse), the only Rework is the selektive Kutout of the miniature Billiard Ball to have a Fokus...
I´ve made the first Pikture of the Skreen, put it on my Desktop, made the next Pikture and so on... altogether you see 13 Skreens, plus your own. ..]

Rock art...
Sandra (herzensart) commented that one of my photos of rocks piled on top of each other was similar to Andy Goldsworthy's art...I wish! I decided to take inspiration from a rock spiral he made and do one of my own with basalt gathered on the beach. His stones are cut through...not something I'm equipped to do, so I'm going to scratch each stone to achieve a similar look. I started to scratch and then ended up moving stones until I got the desired effect, so that part of the project is pending. I've placed a heart-shaped stone in the center as a tribute to his incredible art.

Ciutat de les Arts i les Ciències ( City of Arts and Sciences )
In the photo: L’Hemisfèric & El Palau de les Arts - Valencia
If you like Architecture pictures... I invite you to visit my Architecture set
La Ciutat de les Arts i les Ciències ( City of Arts and Sciences ) is an ensemble of five areas designed by valencian architect Santiago Calatrava and builded in Valencia, Spain. And is an impressive example of modern architecture.
. El Palau de les Arts Reina Sofía - Opera house and performing arts centre.
. L'Hemisfèric - Imax cinema and planetarium.
. L'Umbracle - Walkway / Garden.
. El Museu de les Ciències Príncipe Felipe - Science museum.
. L'Oceanogràfic - Open-air oceanographic park.
Santiago Calatrava was born in Valencia, Spain in 1951. He graduated from the Institute of Architecture in Valencia and from the Federal Institute of Technology in Zurich. Calatrava opened his own architecture and engineering office in Zurich.
As both an architect and an engineer, Calatrava easily identifies with both disciplines. He often creates innovative works that depend on a firm grasp of both the creative and structural aspects of design. His skills as an engineer allow him to create sculptural surfaces and unusual spaces.
He was selected to design a new train and subway station at the World Trade Center site in New York. Calling Calatrava's structures ‘open and organic’, The New York Times said that the new terminal will evoke the kind of uplifting spirituality that is needed on Ground Zero.
Some of Santiago Calatrava best works: Milwaukee Art Museum (USA), Athens Olympic Sports Complex (Greece), Alamillo bridge (Sevilla, Spain), Turning Torso (Sweden), Calatrava tower & Bac de Roda bridge (Barcelona).

Psalm 138:8, Painting with Light Art*
The LORD will fulfill his purpose for me; your love, O LORD, endures forever.
Psalm 138:8
The God of all time and space knows you by name and has a special purpose just for you. He personally created you, He has plans for you, and His love for you will endure forever.
These truths are recorded in the 138th Psalm and are both an assurance and an encouragement for all believers as we look forward to the return of our Lord and Shepherd, Jesus Christ.
* This painting has been uniquely rendered with a time-intensive Painting with Light method that uses only the text from the selected Bible verse above as the paintbrush. The technique takes more than 40 hours to render as the verse is repeatedly “brushed” millions of times. The final result is a never-before possible work of modern art, using only God’s word wondrously repeated in a vivid palette of colors.
The tiny key-strokes of color are too small to be seen when viewing from a distance; but resonates a vibrant spiritual message of purpose, hope and joy from our Heavenly Father for those whom He has given a “heart to perceive, and eyes to see”.
The creative method is much like Seurat’s pointillism technique that creates beautiful large paintings using only small dabs of color. This modern variation unites points of color with powerful and purposeful scripture from the Word of God; a true marriage of color and everlasting light.
It is the same with my word. I send it out, and it always produces fruit.
It will accomplish all I want it to, and it will prosper everywhere I send it.
Isaiah 55:11 NLT

Romans 12:1, Painting with Light Art *
Therefore I urge you, brethren, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies a living and holy sacrifice, acceptable to God, which is your spiritual service of worship. Romans 12-1
Have you ever felt unloved, abandoned and without hope? I’ve found that my most personal and cherished times with the Lord Jesus are those darkest of days when I have no where else to turn. It is in those times of deep pain and despair when I discover my need to surrender all, and offer to Him the sacrifice of my praise.
He has promised to never leave me, even though he knows all about me and the mess that I’ve made of things. As I look back and remember all that He has done for me, I am reassured that He still loves me as His child.

(0495) La Ciutat de les Arts i les Ciències (València) País Valencià
View On Black
La Ciutat de les Arts i les Ciències (CAC) és un complex arquitectònic, cultural i d'entreteninement de la ciutat de València.
El complex es va construir a la dècada dels 90 del segle XX i els primers anys del segle XXI. L'últim gran component del complex, el Palau de les Arts, s'inaugurà el 9 d'octubre de 2005. El complex està situat al final del vell llit del riu Túria, llit que es va convertir en jardí en els 80, anys després del desviament del riu per la Gran Riuada de València.
L'arquitecte director de tot el complex ha estat Santiago Calatrava, que es característic per la seua arquitectura curvilínea i de l'ús del ciment blanc.
La CAC és, hui en dia, el major reclam turístic de Ciutat de València, per damunt d'altres atractius, fins i tot el seu centre històric. L'increment de turistes ha estat prou notable des que es van anar finalitzant les obres.
( A la foto, El Palau de les Arts Reina Sofía)
Batetjat com a Reina Sofia, és l'edifici més destacable en volumetria i estructura arquitectònica. S'inaugurà en la Diada Nacional del País Valencià del 2005, i es farà servir principalment per a grans esdeveniments de música, òpera, dansa, i teatre.
Té una longitud de 163 m. i una amplada de 87 m., ocupant una àrea de 37.000 m2. Disposa de quatre espais principals:
* Sala principal: Amb una capacitat de 1.700 places distribuïdes entre el pati i quatre nivells de palcs, pensat fonamentalment per a representacions d'òpera.
* Aula Magistral : Amb capacitat per a 400 persones.
* Amfiteatre: Amb capacitat per a 1.500 persones.
* Teatre de Càmera, Sala d'exposicions: Edifici adjacent i independent del Palau amb una capacitat per a 400 persones.
