I’ve seen lots of contemporary dance performances which have blown me away, one was called ‘The Silk Road’ and showed how dance, as well as material goods was passed on via the silk road.

It had traditional Indian dance and Spanish dance (the one where the men do the foot stomping, I’ve not been up for long and my brain is still in sleep mode). It was amazing. The dancing was beautiful and demonstrated how culture and ideas are transmitted, in this instance- the similarities of dance movements

Also saw a free performance of some students of Chethams School of Music (Manchester) perform the harp. I think there was 4, maybe 5 female students, and it was beautiful. I’ve never heard the harp performed just on its own and they used percussive rhythms made by drumming and tapping the instrument…

I have the flyers from both above performances, so I’ll edit my comment later on after I’ve found them

Also adding Estas Tonne…my boyfriend is a big fan and we traveled down to London for a week which included one of his gigs…it was held in a church and was just him and his guitars (and 2 incense sticks)

I find that I’m both drawn the the building as well as the exhibits when I’m there, all the pillars are trees with texture and foliage (and monkeys too), the large room with the minerals has sea creatures carved onto the stonework. The carved wood, the floor even the outside with the metal drain pipes and tiled roof…it’s a Temple to Nature, really beautiful place!

Cheers!

I quite often do this for art books, I find it easier on my eyes reading text on the pirate ebook version (I can make the font as big as I need), but use the hardcopy for eyeing up the pictures

Seconding the massage gun, I had terrible muscle pain around my knee for over a year and after using one it went. I nearly fell off the bed as there wasn’t any pain. I’m now trying to loosen up the ligament/tendon around the knee and in my hip as it’s still tight…It’s really nice to be able to go on a long walk and not be in pain or having to use sticks when going downhill

I know I may sound like an Amazon review, but the difference is amazing, and also reassuring as I thought I would be heading over hill into pain and general decrepitude…I’m also using it to loosen up the bf’s knotty shoulders and bad back

I like how it’s reflecting the clouds, crane and orange ‘panels’

I feel your pain lol, I go out and take loads of photos, then have to wade through them to find maybe one half decent one…it’s a journey though, and a bit of fun!

Thanks for the info!

The other photos you’ve posted are also really good, especially the boat, the colour really pops and I love the water…I’m looking forward to seeing more of your back catalogue 👍

I actually like the background looking like that…I just have issues with the mug, I’m finding the reflective surface it’s sitting on is more interesting tbh

Hi, nice photo…I was thinking originally ‘ceiling tiles’ but I’m now thinking it’s something much, much smaller…? What am I looking at?

Also, I’ve cross posted this to abstract photography, with a link to your original post and credit

I thought this was a linocut or pencil drawing in the thumbbail, very nicely done black and white photo

Post your photos anyway, I still have ‘pending subscriptions’ from a while ago on other communities, and it’s the first time it’s appeared for a user on one of mine. I still haven’t found a ‘accept subscriber’ button on the mod ‘tools’ I shall keep looking, and again please feel free to post your photos!

Hope you don’t mind me cross posting this to !abstractphotography

I’ve included a link to this post and credited you

Impressive photo btw, and really nicely executed

Seaweed on pebbles

Yep, a link to the original post and your user details

I hope you don’t mind, but I’ve cross posted it to abstract photography

Definitive proof that it’s a wallpaper on a glitchy phone/sausage fingers

I’ll edit the post or delete it

That is quite possible, he doesn’t have this set as his wallpaper, but his phone can be a bit glitchy at times, and as I pointed out before sausage fingers

Seriously?

We had no idea what happened and why it appeared in his gallery, it was possibly due to sausage fingers then rather than some strange photography alchemy. When I see him next I’ll check out the wallpapers in his phone…At least we know what it is now Lol, Thanks!

I’ve had a look through my field guides, and yes, I think you’re right
