#ArtAdventCalendar Day 21 #WinterSolstice #MidWinter here #MidSummer for those on the currently sunny side of the globe!
In the North we celebrate the beginning of the slow return of #Saule #Sun but don't forget to give #Darkness its due: life, #regeneration begins in the darkness of blood, soil, womb, heart, brain! Darkness is #rest #nest Take time to repose and #reflect and appreciate the long quiet nights.

Standing in the edge of a small irregularly shaped field/pasture. Snow underfoot and ahead 20-30cm / a foot or less deep with occasional bits of grass, weed, saplings poking through and random sets of animal tracks going here and there. To the left open mixed woods with mostly poplar in front, mostly showing their own shadow, a bit of light from the sun off to the right lighting one side. the forest floor is striped with their blue snowy shadows. Farther ahead across another arm of the field, is another strip of mixed woods, mostly spruce in near silhouette. The sun hangs like a great golden white blob to the right just above these trees with light artifacts from the camera lens scattering over the trees below like faint small round rainbows and casts long shadows over the snowy field.. The sky away from the sun is blue. The image has a dull gold frame like folded ribbon and the text Blessed Solstice in an almost script font, a brighter version of the frame colour appears in bottom left.

One protection we have from the roboticizing effects of AI creep is a deepening appreciation for Nature — for the birds, flowers and insects, to sunsets, oceans and galaxies. Enjoy your Solstice this weekend, and all celestial wonderments. And feel #gratitude in life for having become the wonderment that you are.

The village of Bruçó in Mogadouro, Portugal lost its traditional mask in the 1950s when the local priest had it burned. This weekend, 70 years later, the community revealed a replacement had been commisioned and made by local mask maker Carlos Ferreira. It’s an impressive piece of work and I look forward to seeing it in person some time. #portugal #masks #carnival #midwinter

A photograph of a traditional mask and costume from north east Portugal. The large mask is carved of wood, is painted red and black with a large protruding tongue and two large ram horns on top.
