------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Los Uros, son un pueblo ancestral que actualmente se concentra en la meseta del Collao y en el Perú en las islas flotantes ubicadas en la bahÃa de Puno sobre el lago Titicaca.
El término «uros» proviene de la palabra aimara «qhana uru» («qhana» quiere decir claro; «uru» significa dÃa, por lo tanto significa dÃa claro). «Uri», que significa indómito, chucaro, bravo, por lo que los uros fueron uri urus, es decir hombres indómitos, claros y salvajes, descendientes de un grupo étnico llamado «qapi», cuya lengua era el pukina, hoy extinta. Actualmente los habitantes de los uros hablan el aimara, y castellano.
Las islas flotantes son un conjunto de superficies artificiales habitables construidas de totora (jucos), una planta acuática que crece en la superficie del lago Titicaca.
La construcción de estas islas se hace tejiendo las totoras en las zonas en donde crece más densa, formando una capa natural a la que los uros denominan khili. Sobre esta capa construyen sus viviendas, también de una malla tejida de totora a la que denominan "estera". Cada vivienda está compuesta por una sola habitación. Cocinan al aire libre para evitar incendios.
En el Perú existen más de 20 islas de la etnia uro chulluni. El número de familias que ocupan una isla es variable, pero en general oscila entre tres y diez. Entre las principales islas, destacan: Tupiri, Santa MarÃa, Tribuna, Toranipata, Chumi, ParaÃso, Kapi, Titino, Tinajero y Negrone.
Según la última encuesta, las Islas Uros tienen una población de 272 familias identificadas.
En marzo del 2007, la etnia uro irohito inicia la construcción de 4 islas en la zona boliviana. AsÃ, la primera isla flotante de totora en Boliviadenominada Pachakamak, ve la luz, seguidas de Phuwa, Balsa Hampus e Inti Huata, gracias a un plan turÃstico dirigido desde La Paz.

I was up in Perthshire this morning and these trees caught my eye - the colours were absolutely stunning.
It was a nice day for photography, and fishing. You can see a guy in waders and a small fishing boat on the other side of the river.
A rhinoceros made up from plastic toys. Spotted on Christmas 2014 in the IAPM shopping mall on Shanghai's Huaihai Road.
And sorry, due to flickr's inability to properly save local language tags since late Sept. 2022 and no fix in sight (no UTF-8 support in tags, it appears only characters from the stone-age "Code Page 437" work correctly), the tags are incomplete - I had to omit some tags, because the 场 character in IAPM广场 and 上海环贸广场 causes flickr's tag parser to create gibberish in all following tags.
The "Nanshi Qu" assigned by flickr as location name is also wrong, a long standing issue with flickr's trashy location database.

Tramonto al Mare
Il mare non ha paese nemmen lui, ed è di tutti quelli che lo stanno ad ascoltare, di qua e di là dove nasce e muore il sole.

Sunset at the sea
The sea has no country, not even him, and belongs to all who listen to him, here and there where the sun is born and dies.

Der etwa 4 km langen Molvenossee, der bis zu 120 m tief ist, wird durch einen kleinen Bach und mehrere kleine Zuflüsse aus den Bergen gespeist.

Molveno is a comune (municipality) in Trentino in the northern Italian region of Trentino-Alto Adige/Südtirol, located about 40 kilometres (25 mi) northwest of Trento. It is famous for its positioning on Lake Molveno as a holiday destination, its nearby ski resorts (Andalo-Paganella and its connection to the National Park Adamello Brenta.
Molveno is located at the northern end of a 4-kilometre (2.5 mi) long lake (Lago di Molveno), at the foot of the Brenta Group and the Paganella mountain.
The Lake of Molveno, formed by a landslide about 4000 years ago, is the second largest in Trentino-Alto Adige, 3.3 square kilometres (1.3 sq mi). It has a maximum depth of 123 metres (404 ft). It's famous for its diverse fish species, including trout, arctic char and perch.
From the side. The Walhalla memorial is a hall of fame that honours distinguished people "of the German tongue".
The idea for such a memorial is from (at that time) Crown Prince Ludwig I of Bavaria in 1807. The building in neoclassicistic style, modeled after the Parthenon in Athens, was finally begun in 1830 and completed in 1842.

...this cottage still looks beautiful. Until a couple of years ago, this was the home of our biology teacher and his wife. They lived here for about 5 decades. The maturity and extent of the planting reflects the care that they took.

In Ueno zoo there are some buildings much older than the zoo itself (which itself was founded in 1882). This five stories pagoda originally dates to 1631 but later had to be rebuilt after a fire. It was previously the property of the Kan'ei-ji temple, but in 1958 it was donated to the Tokyo Metropolitan Government and the management given to the zoo.
