Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2K3XNAA - Editorial street art image shows a Muhammad Ali stencil mural on a wall in Manchester Chinatown, in the M1 postcode district of Manchester city centre. The artwork depicts Ali in a boxing stance, with a large clenched fist pushed forward and a butterfly motif painted nearby, connecting visually with his famous sporting persona and cultural legacy. To the right of the black stencil figure is a tribute text panel bearing Ali's name, life dates and an inspirational quote about knowing his own truth and being free to live on his own terms.
The image has strong editorial value because it combines sport, politics, identity, street art and urban memory in a compact Manchester city centre scene. Ali was far more than a heavyweight boxing champion. He became a global symbol of confidence, resistance, anti-war conviction, civil rights, Black pride, religious identity, sporting brilliance and personal freedom. The mural's direct visual language, using a bold black silhouette against a pale wall, suits the subject well. It gives the image a graphic, poster-like quality, while the weathered render, barred window, pipework and side-street setting place it firmly in a real urban environment rather than a gallery or formal memorial.
This photograph is useful for editorial themes around Muhammad Ali, boxing history, sporting icons, Manchester street art, Chinatown, public murals, civil rights, inspirational quotes, urban culture, stencil art, graffiti, social justice, Black history, celebrity tributes, local walking routes, city centre back streets, cultural memory and the use of public walls as informal memorial spaces. It also works for wider stories about how global figures are remembered in British cities, the relationship between sport and politics, and the continued visual power of Ali's image decades after his greatest fights. The butterfly detail, boxing stance and freedom quote make the image instantly recognisable while also giving it strong keyword value for art, sport

Description: Tony Smith image Flickr 4382356125 - 'The Peleides Blue Morpho (Morpho peleides) is an iridescent tropical butterfly found in Mexico, Central America, northern South America,Paraguay and Trinidad. The example shown here is emerging from its Chrysalis and will soon be opening on a tree to dry out its damp wings.
This Butterfly drinks the juices from rotting fruits for food. Examples are mango, kiwi, and lychee.
Blue Morpho butterflies live in the rainforests of South America, and can be found in Mexico and Central America.The wingspan of the Blue Morpho butterfly ranges from 7.5 cm to 20 cm, so in theory an easy subject for macro photography.
The entire Blue Morpho Butterfly lifecycle, from egg to adult is only 115 days. The larvae of Blue Morpho Butterflies are cannibals. The caterpillar Blue Morpho Butterfly is red-brown with patches of bright green. The brilliant blue color in the butterfly's wings is caused by the diffraction of the light from millions of tiny scales on its wings. It uses this to frighten away predators, by flashing its wings rapidly. The Blue Morpho Butterflies stick together in groups to deter their predators, a form of Mobbing behavior.
In the half light of a rain forest the outer brown patterns mimic eyes this proving another defence mechanism.
