the fifth photo...

I tried experiments, the result of which I have many doubts about. However, I'm posting two photos here that I took this week, inspired by the challenge #blurredmovement proposed this month by @sheclicksnet.bsky.social

#Movements, #dynamic, #blurred object are everywhere. Indeed, nothing is still in the #Universe, even less so in our lives. The challenge is to represent movement on a static image.

For humans, it is difficult to define what a “community” is. The Oxford dictionary proposes many definitions. I like the following: “A group of people who share the same interests, pursuits, or occupation, esp. when distinct from those of the society in which they live.”
What would you suggest?

On the meaning of #community

From Latin communĭtas -atis «comunanza» that essentially refers to a shared quality, interest, or experience that brings people together. It implies a sense of belonging or common ground. «Commonality» or «commonness» do to reflect the original meaning.

In biology, as a synonym of cenosis and biocenosis, any ecologically integrated group of species of microorganisms, plants or animals living in a given area.

Like many of you, I've also plunged into spring and I'm enjoying the colors and emotions it brings.

People stood on the banks in harmonious contemplation. Truly a remarkable experience. Try to imagine the cold of the evening, the total silence even in the middle of the big city, the peace shared with other human beings for a moment in harmony with themselves, the others and the environment.

I had two wonderful weeks in Berlin, despite the difficult times, and took some photos I like very much: the water of the Rummelsburger See was in a weird state, not frozen, not liquid, something in between. It seemed soft, and reflected the transparent light of the sunset with astonishing effects.

Nice time exploring photography with my son @terzapiccarda.bsky.social

I would love to photosynthesise like a plant: you just sit there in the sun and nourish yourself. Of course, this would involve becoming green, to grow large leaves and roots, to stand still for a long time. In fact, we would have to become trees.

IL COLORE VERDE / THE COLOR GREEN

A me piacerebbe fare la fotosintesi: ti metti lì, al sole, e ti nutri. Non solo dovremmo diventare verdi. Dovremmo farci crescere tante foglie e radici, e stare ferme. Dovremmo, di fatto, diventare alberi.

You see them there, sitting in their colorful clothes, smiling and beautiful... The women in Nepal do everything.

LIGHT CANNOT BE CAPTURED
LA LUCE NON SI CATTURA
You can snatch light, collect or gather it. Not capture it.There's no word less fitting for light.
La luce si raccoglie, non si cattura. Non c’è parola meno appropriata per la luce.
