a listless desert

an oasis glow in

inner child...

Powerful sculpture...the inner child locked inside us all...Inner selves are executed in the form of transparent children who shine as night falls = purity+sincerity.
The sculpture is by Ukrainian artist Alexander Milov for the Burning Man Festival in Nevada's Black Rock desert. https://t.co/LD25U8RxC8

mulla mullas...

Love the musical ring in 'mulla mullas'...
Mulla mullas are also known as foxtails or pussytails...
Their main flower colour is pink, but also appear in yellow and purple...
Yet, in this beautiful image, in Kings Canyon NT, they appear quite white... https://t.co/xM1fwmvuPi

living wall...

A living wall, in the midst of all the current gloom, is still travelling on...Begun in 2007, when leaders from 11 African countries (Djibouti, Eritrea, Ethiopia, Sudan, Chad, Niger, Nigeria, Mali, Burkina Faso, Mauritania, and Senegal) signed on...The wall's over 15% complete... https://t.co/lrT9WB02tL

Muhcine Ennou was born in Morocco but lives in Holland...The image above was generated in 2020...Most of Ennou's images are part of a series he calls Melting Pot - where identity and culture, old and new clash...His images are more than a photo, they are a narrative of the moment...
