Join us for the Opening Reception of "Shape, Color and Space" by acclaimed artist James Bowden. This one-of-a-kind art exhibition will challenge your perspective in ways you've never imagined. Bowden, a Peotone, IL-based artist, believes that paintings should go beyond representation and instead open viewers' minds to alternative and ambiguous interpretations of the world. His unique creations do not symbolize or describe anything external to the canvas but instead offer direct experiences for viewers to understand and appreciate the connections that shape the pictorial space. 

The event will take place on Saturday, October 21st, 2023, from 11 AM to 1 PM at the prestigious Crete Creative Gallery & School in Crete, IL. As a 501(c)(3) non-profit art gallery, this exhibition is made possible through the generous support of patrons like you. We kindly invite you to consider making a donation during your visit or becoming a member of Crete Creative to support our mission of promoting artistic expression. 

While immersing yourself in Bowden's extraordinary artwork, you will also have the opportunity to connect with the artist himself. Enjoy complimentary snacks and refreshments as you explore the thought-provoking pieces that challenge conventional notions of shape, color, and space. 

Don't miss this exclusive event that showcases the talent of James Bowden and highlights the power of art to transform our perception. Mark your calendars and join us for an unforgettable experience.

Stilt Fisherman

Md Iqbal Hasan

Watching the stilt fishermen of Sri Lanka is like witnessing a living painting&mdash;grace, balance, and tradition suspended above the sea. Perched on slender poles as the sun dips low, these silent silhouettes tell a timeless story of resilience and harmony with nature. It&rsquo;s not just fishing&mdash;it&rsquo;s an art form passed down through generations, standing tall against tides and time. A truly humbling and poetic glimpse into coastal life that stays with you long after the waves fade.

Galle Fort is one of the iconic attractions in Sri Lanka. There is a very nice town here. There is a landmark clock tower and a lighthouse by the sea. It is pretty good. Overall, it is worth visiting together.

The mangroves grow in a special ecosystem in tropical and subtropical coastal zones. The mangroves have well-developed root systems. They are submerged by the sea at high tide and form a lush forest at low tide. The cruise ship will pass under the bridge and under the railway tracks, and tourists occasionally need to lower their heads and lie down. This is the entrance of the Madu River into the Indian Ocean. It is also a holy place for bird watching, and there are many aquatic animals such as lizards, crocodiles, monkeys, birds and jellyfish. During the process, you can also go to a small island to see the production method of a local spice. In addition, you can experience activities such as catching crabs and fishing therapy in the mangroves and enjoy the beauty and excitement of nature.

Sea Turtle Hatchery Habaraduwa

旅の径

Sri Lanka&#39;s long coastal beaches are often visited by sea turtles. To protect this rare animal in the world, the government has funded the construction of a number of non-profit sea turtle hatcheries along the coast, which are responsible for collecting sea turtle eggs on the beach, hatching baby sea turtles, adopting disabled sea turtles, and are open to tourists for a fee.

I walked into a hatchery, which was not very large. On one side was a sand altar, where small lives were nurtured under small sand bags, and small wooden signs marked the species and hatching start time of the small lives; on one side was a row of courtyards, where groups of small sea turtles and disabled turtles were raised in pools and water tanks. Take a look and learn a lot.

Tips: Sea turtles are oviparous animals, and the incubation period varies from 48 to 65 days for different species. After birth, boys are released into the sea after 6 months and girls after 3 years.

Absolutely enamored by the rich history and stunning architecture of Galle Fort in Sri Lanka. The well-preserved colonial buildings and charming cobblestone streets make it a must-see destination for history buffs and architecture enthusiasts alike. The panoramic views of the Indian Ocean from the ramparts are unparalleled. A truly magical experience!
