  Horse Patterns
  by Carmen Mandel-Cesáreo

  “Equine beauty enthralls me. The sweetness of a horse’s glance, the velvety softness of the muzzle, the bristly ear hairs and the luxurious mane make me hold my breath. I wanted to pay tribute to their beauty by composing a collage with the natural patterns found in the horse. / / A closer look at the coat reveals amazing details of texture, colours and hues. The cascading mane over the shoulders makes a unique wavy design of contrasting textures. Glistening like tiny jewels, the tail hairs play with the sunlight offering a unique pattern at every step my equine friend gives. / / His handsome face adorns the centre of the collage.” / / / / Artist statement / My photographs are not enhanced; they represent the true nature and colours of the subjects as captured by the lens. I never lure my animated subjects to come close to me: spontaneity is the key. / / ============================================================= / All proceeds from the sale of this piece of artwork and the rest of my equine photography in all my galleries will be donated in equal ways to the following equine charities: / / Equus Sanctuary Dedicated to saving the equine family and enriching their lives. / / Shiloh Horse Rescue Dedicated to rescuing and rehabilitating abused, neglected, injured, unwanted, and slaughter-bound horses of all types. / / Redwings Horse Sanctuary Care for and protect horses, ponies, donkeys and mules in dire need. / —-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-——- / / Carmen, creator of Art for Conservation / / “Equine Beauty” – New Calendar Series 2008 / / / / © Copyright Carmen Mandel-Cesáreo / / Browse my new calendar series with proceeds aiding equine rescue charities. / /

  Tainos Spirits Orbs- 1 out of 3 in a series
  by Carole Boudreau

  This is a reconstitution of a Tainos religious ceremony to the memories of the dead. / I captured it at the “Manatee National Park ” in Punta Cana Dominican Rep. Caribbean Island.First time I ever captured orbs in a photography! / This is 3 out of a series of 12 pictures I took during the religious ceremony, on the first in the series of 12 (not all posted) we can see the start of the elevations of the spirits of dead Tainos gradually rising from the artifact skeletons that are covered with a glass top inside a corded barrier for preservation and are in the ground in the middle center of the ceremony, in this picture we can very well and clearly see all of the hundreds of spirits that have raised from the tomb in the ground while the pinnacle of the ceremony was going on…(see the other post for the ending and conclusion of the ceremony) 5th in: TOP TEN finish in the Ghostly Images group’s “The Other Side” challenge! 17/APR/2009-was featured in Paranormal The Norm Thanks to the wonderful moderator and hosts for my first feature in this special group I really appreciate xoxoxo The skeletons and other artifacts more that 500 years old of the Tainos people where found in a archeological excavation of the village that was in the past, on the terrain of the Manatee National Park Preserve. The Taínos were pre-Colombian inhabitants of the Bahamas, Greater Antilles, and the northern Lesser Antilles. It is believed that the seafaring Taínos were relatives of the Arawakan people of South America. Their language is a member of the Maipurean linguistic family, which ranges from South America across the Caribbean. At the time of Columbus’s arrival in 1492, there were five Taíno kingdoms and territories on Hispaniola (modern day Dominican Republic and Haiti), each led by a principal Cacique (chieftain), to whom tribute was paid. As the hereditary head chief of Taíno tribes, the cacique was paid significant tribute. Caciques enjoyed the privilege of wearing golden pendants called guani, living in square bohíos instead of the round ones the villagers inhabited, and sat on wooden stools when receiving guests. At the time of the Spanish conquest, the largest Taíno population centers may have contained over 3,000 people each. The Taínos were historical neighbors and enemies of the fierce Carib tribes, another group with origins in South America who lived principally in the Lesser Antilles. The relationship between the two groups has been the subject of much study. This photo as is , taken with my Photosmart HP R927 camera, NO enhancement watch so ever!
