Zu alt, um nur zu spielen. Zu jung, um ohne Wunsch zu sein.

Aino’s template for the Värikollaasit / Colour Collage this week were these peppery colours:

and I played around.  This collage is too blue but I love the swan and his prominent beak:

I then took other beaks into the mix: swan, duck, goose, and stork:

And here I contrasted the softness of a painting with the starkness of a cartoon:

väri 233 d

And I can’t make up my  mind which I like best.

If you want to have a look what others did with the pepper spice colour, have a look.

Perchance to dream

Traumland

Dreamland.  The undiscovered land? Perhaps.  At least, the not-quite-(yet?)-discovered land.

What do these furballs dream of?  Do they dream at all?

2020 dream e

And how about stones?  Do they dream?

2020 dream f

Dreaming: Going through a door … but which side is dreamside?

2020 dream g

The important thing, though, is: Let your dreams outlast the night.

Mithras temple

2021 worship a

2021 worship b

The ruins of this temple were found near Carrawburgh Roman Fort on Hadrian’s Wall. The three altars are replicas.  The soldiers stationed at the Fort built the temple around 200 AD to worship Mithras.  Mithraism was a Roman cult long thought to be inspired by Iranian beliefs connected to Zoroastricsm but newer research finds this less convincing.  However, this was a temple and there was worshipping going on.

Short and sweet

2021 short a

In German, kurz means short.  It is also a fairly common family name.

2021 short b

Ducks have fairly short legs.

2021 short c

Which normally doesn’t inconvenience them much.

2021 short d

For other species it can create an advantage or an obstacle, depending on the terrain and intention.
