#Repost @kanatagallery with @get_repost Gallery artist photographer Karen Bell loves to travel; photographing the world, near or far, makes her feel connected to the earth while she captures and crafts images that evoke emotion, awaken energy, and calls to the spirit within us all. Her photograph "Enter My Imagination" was shot in Northern Ireland; "Summer Guest" was shot near Sauble Falls, Ontario.

There was never a night or a problem that could defeat sunrise or hope. ~ Bernard Williams

On Monday, the federal government and Canada Council for the Arts announced some relief measures for the non-profit culture sector. Are they enough?

Looking beautiful!

Don’t listen to what they say, go see. ~ Chinese Proverb Years ago on a backpacking trip with my fav girlfriend, we got detoured on our journey and visiting Luxembourg was the country that fell by the wayside. (We detoured to the French Riviera, so don’t feel badly for us! )... Skip ahead a decade (or 2!) and when the opportunity arrived to visit Luxembourg, I was thrilled. Historically rich, culturally alive and full of green spaces, I enjoyed every minute I spent here. If you ever get the chance to go, don’t hesitate. One of the cleanest and safest places I have ever been.

Rome is the city of echoes, the city of illusions, and the city of yearning. ~ Giotto di Bondone, Renaissance painter Which version do you prefer? A or B? Do you like to see things more closely; the details. ... Or do you like an overall view; the bigger picture? Let me know! To see the full version of Evening Exchange, Roma follow the link: https://www.belleimages.ca/Portfolio/Travel/i-LRQH5HS/A The Piazza del Popolo was once the main entrance to the city of Rome during the Roman Empire. The Obelisk, at the centre of the piazza was erected in the Circus Maximus during the tenth century and transferred to the piazza in 1589.

"Don't worry if you're making waves just by being yourself. The moon does it all the time." ~ Scott Stabile I have an incredibly strong connection with the moon and water.
