Snow spikes or nieves penitentes:



In honour of International Women’s Day tomorrow…I’m posting works of arts by some of my favourite women artists:

Remedios Varo’s Creacion De Las Aves
More of her artworks: HERE

Käthe Kollwitz’ Mother with Two Children
And

Pietá
Margaret Bourke-White


The Greatest Migration
and more women artists: some photos of Dora Maar, a surrealist photographer and famously known as Dali’s weeping woman:

Sans Titre (Hand-Shell), 1934

Le Pere Ubu, 1936
Bonsai, the art of growing dwarfed trees:
we can probably have a philosophical discussion about this...do we have the right to dwarf the trees? control their growth, shape them or bend them to our will? or ppfft..they're just only trees anyhow? ![]()



Nature photographer Warren Krupsaw’s mushroom pix (for gebZ): ![]()



and what would you prefer:
a natural (but not perfect) looking and tasty apple:

Cox Orange Pippin
or a perfect looking but almost tasteless apple:

Granny Smith

All you need to get a beautifull picture is a camera and a lot of good luck to be there at the right time.
I appreciate this kind if pictures even more then the staged ones.
