View from Rochers de Naye, mountain (2042 m) above Montreux, Switzerland.
The Alps (French: Alpes; German: Alpen; Italian: Alpi; Romansh: Alps; Slovene: Alpe) is the name for one of the great mountain range systems of Europe, stretching from Austria and Slovenia in the east, through Italy, Switzerland, Liechtenstein and Germany to France in the west. The word "Alps" was taken via French from Latin Alpes (meaning "the Alps"), which may be influenced by the Latin words albus (white) or altus (high) or more likely a Latin rendering of a Celtic or Ligurian original.
The highest mountain in the Alps is Mont Blanc, at 4,808 metres (15,774 ft), on the Italian-French border. All the main peaks of the Alps can be found in the list of mountains of the Alps and list of Alpine peaks by prominence.
The Alps are generally divided into the Western Alps and the Eastern Alps. The division is along the line between Lake Constance and Lake Como, following the Rhine. The Western Alps are higher, but their central chain is shorter and curved; they are located in Italy, France and Switzerland. The Eastern Alps (main ridge system elongated and broad) belong to Austria, Germany, Italy, Liechtenstein, Slovenia and Switzerland.
The Alps are a classic example of what happens when a temperate area at lower altitude gives way to higher elevation terrain. Elevations around the world which have cold climates similar to those found in polar areas have been called alpine. A rise from sea level into the upper regions of the atmosphere causes the temperature to decrease. The effect of mountain chains on prevailing winds is to carry warm air belonging to the lower region into an upper zone, where it expands in volume at the cost of a proportionate loss of heat, often accompanied by the precipitation of moisture in the form of snow or rain.

The Pannonian Plain is a large plain in Central Europe that remained when the Pliocene Pannonian Sea dried out. It is a geomorphological subsystem of the Alps-Himalaya system.
The river Danube divides the plain roughly in half.
The plain is divided among Austria, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, the Czech Republic, Hungary, Romania, Serbia, Slovakia, Slovenia and Ukraine.
The plain is roughly bounded by the Carpathian mountains, the Alps, the Dinaric Alps and the Balkan mountains.
Although rain is not plentiful, it usually falls when necessary and the plain is a major agricultural area; it is sometimes said that these fields of rich loamy loess soil could feed the whole of Europe. For its early settlers, the plain offered few sources of metals or stone. Thus when archaeologists come upon objects of obsidian or chert, copper or gold, they have almost unparalleled opportunities to interpret ancient pathways of trade.
The precursor to the present plain was a shallow sea that reached its greatest extent during the Pliocene, when three to four kilometres of sediments were deposited.
The plain was named after the Pannonians, a northern Illyrian tribe. Various different peoples inhabited the plain during its history. In the first century BC, the eastern parts of the plain belonged to the Dacian state, and in the first century AD its western parts were subsumed into the Roman Empire. The Roman province named Pannonia was established in the area, and the city of Sirmium, today Sremska Mitrovica, Serbia, became one of the four capital cities of the Roman Empire in the 3rd century.
So, finally a photo of Guilherme on my flickr (and I still have to take some of Israel and Fabio, my darling friends, they are complaning because they want to be famous around the world too hahaha)
Guilherme is Mr. Awesome, but he hides his many talents. We studied Administration for four years and a half, and I didn't know he is a Kung Fu professor, for example. Or that he is an INCREDIBLE UNBELIEVABLY AWESOME dancer. Yeah, the kind that catches everyone's atention.
Once he started to dance at Jackson's barbecue party and even the guys gathered around to see his moves and try to learn something.
I could go on and on about all the impressive things he does and knows, but I don't want to inflate his ego too much (yeah, he visits my photos hehehe). But he is super great, and he knows I think so :P
~~~~
Ahaaa, finalmente uma foto do watashi no koibito Guilherme no flickr! (eu ainda tenho que tirar umas do Israel e do do Fábio, meus queridões, que estão reclamando porque querem ser famosos no mundo também ahhahaha)
O Gui-kun é o Mr. Awesome, mas ele esconde seus muitos talentos. Nós estudamos administração por quatro anos e meio, e eu não sabia que ele é professor de Kung Fu, por exemplo. Ou que ele é um incrível inacreditável impressionante dançarino. É do tipo que atrai a atenção de todo mundo.
Uma vez ele começou a dançar no Jaxx e até os guris juntaram em volta para ver e tentar aprender.
Eu poderia ficar falando das várias coisas impressionates que ele faz e sabe, mas eu não quero inflar o ego dele demais (é, ele visita minhas fotos hehe). Mas ele é muito ótimo, e ele sabe que eu acho isso :P
I seem to like the combination of blue and white a lot and not only with clouds in the sky. This picture was taken on a nice walk along the ocean boardwalk of Pier Village, Long Branch, NJ.

ZLATIBOR is a mountain of exquisite beauty. It has pleasant and mild climate, large clearings, exuberant pastures intersected with mountains with mountain streams and pine trees - which this mountain is named for.
The average hight is about 1000m above sea level.
Mountain and sea gulfs encounter here which speed up the curing and the recovering from large number of lung and heart illnesses, especially from illnesses of thyroid gland and anemia.
The Balkans is the historical name of a geographic region of southeastern Europe. The region takes its name from the Balkan Mountains, which run through the centre of Bulgaria into eastern Serbia. The region has a combined area of 550,000 km2 (212,000 sq mi) and a population of about 55 million people.
The ancient Greek name for the Balkan Peninsula was “the Peninsula of Haemus” (Χερσόνησος του Αίμου, Chersónisos tou Aímou).
The Balkans are adjoined by water on three sides: the Black Sea to the east and branches of the Mediterranean Sea to the south and west (including the Adriatic, Ionian, Aegean and Marmara seas).
The identity of the Balkans is dominated by its geographical position; historically the area was known as a crossroads of various cultures. It has been a juncture between the Latin and Greek bodies of the Roman Empire, the destination of a massive influx of pagan Slavs, an area where Orthodox and Catholic Christianity met, as well as the meeting point between Islam and Christianity.
The Balkans today is a very diverse ethno-linguistic region, being home to multiple Slavic, Romance, and Turkic languages, as well as Greek, Albanian, and others. Through its history many other ethnic groups with their own languages lived in the area, among them Thracians, Illyrians, Romans, Uzes, Pechenegs, Cumans, Avars, Celts, Germans, and various Germanic tribes.
The Balkan region was the first area of Europe to experience the arrival of farming cultures in the Neolithic era. The practices of growing grain and raising livestock arrived in the Balkans from the Fertile Crescent by way of Anatolia, and spread west and north into Pannonia and Central Europe.
In pre-classical and classical antiquity, this region was home to Greek city-states, Illyrians, Paeonians, Thracians, Epirotes, Mollosians, Thessalians, Dacians and other ancient groups. Later the Roman Empire conquered most of the region and spread Roman culture and the Latin language but significant parts still remained under classical Greek influence. During the Middle Ages, the Balkans became the stage for a series of wars between the Byzantine, Bulgarian and Serbian Empires.

◘ Local: Em alguma rua do Recife Antigo (Bairro).
◘ Informação Adicional: Bairro que deu origem à cidade, o Recife Antigo surgiu em fins da primeira metade do séc ulo XVI. O ponto de origem da povoação foi um porto, construído para escoar pau-brasil e os produtos da atividade agro-açucareira de Olinda, então capital pernambucana.
Inicialmente, o bairro era denominado “Arrecifes dos Navios” e se estendia, desordenadamente, por uma área de aproximadamente dez hectares, com a construção das casas não seguindo nenhum ordenamento: a abertura de ruas obedecia apenas à vontade dos que ali se fixavam. Só durante o domínio holandês, precisamente com a chegada do conde Maurício de Nassau a Pernambuco (1637), é que o bairro passou a ter algum planejamento. Nessa época, eram 15 ruas e uma praça.

Este es un dragón marino, pariente del caballito de mar, en el Acuario Georgia de Atlanta. Viendo las noticias me enteré que por primera vez en la historia del acuario uno de ellos queda embarazado. En cautiverio esto sólo había ocurrido en otros dos lugares: el Acuario del Pacífico en Long Beach y en el Acuario de Melbourne. Lamentablemente, están en peligro de extinción.

This is a weedy sea dragon, a relative of the seahorse, at the Georgia Aquarium in Atlanta. Watching the news, I found out that for the first time in the aquarium history one of them has gotten pregnant. Only two facilities in the world to have successfully bred weedy sea dragons in captivity: the Aquarium of the Pacific in Long Beach and the Melbourne Aquarium. Sadly, they are an endangered species.

City Hall is the headquarters of the Greater London Authority which comprises the Mayor of London and London Assembly. It located in Southwark, stands on the south bank of the River Thames near Tower Bridge. Designed by Norman Foster, it opened in July 2002.
The building has an unusual bulbous shape, intended to reduce its surface area and thus improve energy efficiency. It has been compared variously to Darth Vader's helmet, a misshapen egg, a human scrotum, a woodlouse or a motorcycle helmet. Former mayor Ken Livingstone referred to it as a "glass testicle".[1][2] The new mayor, Boris Johnson, has referred to it more politely as 'The Onion'. Its designers reportedly saw the building as a giant sphere hanging over the Thames, but opted for a more conventionally rooted building instead. It has no front or back on conventional terms but derives its shape from a modified sphere.
Tower Bridge is a combined bascule and suspension bridge in London, England over the River Thames. It is close to the Tower of London, which gives it its name. It has become an iconic symbol of London. Tower Bridge is one of several London bridges owned and maintained by the City Bridge Trust, a charitable trust overseen by the City of London Corporation.
The bridge consists of two towers which are tied together at the upper level by means of two horizontal walkways which are designed to withstand the horizontal forces exerted by the suspended sections of the bridge to the left and the right. The vertical component of the forces in the suspended sections and the vertical reactions of the two walkways are carried by the two robust towers. The bascule pivots and operating machinery are housed in the base of each tower. Its present colour dates from 1977 when it was painted red, white and blue for the Queen's Silver Jubilee. Before this, it was painted a chocolate brown colour.[1]
Tower Bridge is sometimes mistakenly referred to as London Bridge, which is actually the next bridge upstream.[2] A popular urban legend is that, in 1968 Robert McCulloch, the purchaser of the old London Bridge which was later shipped to Lake Havasu City, Arizona, believed mistakenly that he was buying Tower Bridge, but this was denied by McCulloch himself and has been debunked by Ivan Luckin, the seller of the bridge.[3]

The dunes were formed from sand deposits of the Rio Grande and its tributaries, flowing through the San Luis Valley. Over the ages, westerly winds picked up sand particles from the river flood plain. As the wind lost power before crossing the Sangre de Cristo Range, the sand was deposited on the east edge of the valley. This process continues, and the dunes are slowly growing. The wind changes the shape of the dunes daily.
There are several streams flowing on the perimeter of the dunes. The streams erode the edge of the dune field, and sand is carried downstream. The water disappears into the ground, depositing sand on the surface. Winds pick up the deposits of sand, and blow them up onto the dune field once again.
Digging a few inches into the dunes even at their peaks reveals wet sand. If the streams were to dry up, the dunes would disappear; in fact part of the motivation of turning the Monument into a National Park was the extra protection of the water, which Colorado's cities and agriculture covet. -Wikipedia

Awful weather here in Piedmont. Turin is on state of calamity and rain is falling without a break. Today I couldn't reach my office, as the railway lines were interrupted. And in this hell made of water...Neve and Ribes had the sweetest rest, side by side. Bunnies (and the pets we love) are the warming light in the darkest days.
Hoppy Furry Friday to everyone :)

This is a catterpillar that actually haunts my house. There is a palm tree chez moi, and that's what they eat, palm tree leaves. At night. When there aren't birds around.
The tree gets so loaded and their chewing noises is so loud that people that visit my house at night in the catterpillar season oftenly gets really scared: "Anna, what the hell is that noise??"
Sometimes, I do make things worse, frightening the person even more. Hehe
I have a friend that says that I'm so meany, so evil, that when I die I'll start to burn even before I arrive at hell's gates, leaving ashes only, to burn through out eternity. He is just envious because he doesn't get the bratty ideas I do.
Once I did something not very smart... I knew the caterpillars didn't hold tight to the leaves, and I kicked the tree trunk. I wanted a caterpillar rain, and I got it. Not smart and above all, not funny :P
Those who saw it tend to disagree. They found it frigging hilarious. Luckily these aren't the burning kind of caterpillars.
ok, back to the caterpillar and the caterpillar only because she is the main subject here :P
I'm not sure if it's a Brassolis sophorae vulpeculus or a Brassolis astyra Godart, but they are all palm trees defoliators, true damagers.
They are also known as "palm caterpillars". A bit obvious. In infested parks, those with lots of palm trees, it's been reported that (literally) thousands of caterpillars left the trees to find a safe place to pupate. Can you imagine a person who's afraid of caterpillars (hein, Samantha? hehe) trapped in the middle of such a procession? hehe :D I would like to take photos of that. (sweet revenge laughter is heard by a far - or bratty/devilish like Donald Duck's when he's about to proceed with some misdeed)
I have enprisoned several of this caterpillars for ahn, safe pupating (aka photographic/scientific) purposes, but I had to let most of the butterflies go, because I never had a camera when they decide to get out of the cocoon :(

Essa é uma taturana que na verdade assombra minha casa. Tem uma palmeira em casa, e é isso o que elas comem, folhas de palmeiras. De noite. Quando não tem pássaros por perto.
Azarvre somosnozes ficam tão carregadas e o barulho da mastigação é tão alto que o povo que vem em casa à noite na época das taturanas ficam arrepiados de medo: "Anna, kct, que inferno de barulho é esse?"
Às vezes, eu deixo as coisas ainda piores, assustando o mizifi ainda mais.
Eu tenho um amigo que fala que eu sou tão ruim, tão malvada, que quando eu morrer, vou começar a queimar antes de chegar no inferno, e quando eu chegar lá, vou está só o pó já. Na verdade ele está com inveja pq não tem as idéias q eu tenho.
Uma veeez eu aprontei uma arte que não foi muito inteligente e tal. Eu sabia que as taturaninha não se seguravam bem nas folhas e chutei o tronco dazarvre somo nozes. Eu queria uma chuva de taturana, e consegui. Nada genial, e acima de tudo, nada engraçado, eu não achei engraçado.
Mas o povo que viu tende a discordar. Eles acharam hilário. Por sorte essas não são do tipo que queimam, senão eu tava no bico.
ok, então, lará, de volta às taturanas porque elas são o tema e único tema aqui.
Eu não tenho certeza se isso é uma Brassolis sophorae vulpeculus ou uma Brassolis astyra Godart, mas elas são desfolhadoras de palmeiras, verdadeiras destruidoras.
Elas também são conhecidas como "lagarta da palmeira"... um pouco óbvio, talvez. Em parques infestados, daqueles com um monte de palmeiras, foi registrado que (literalmente) milhaaares de taturanas saíam dazarvre para procurar um lugar seguro para fazerem seus casulos. Imagina uma pessoa que mooorre de medo de taturana (tipo a Samantha, assim) presa no meio dessa procissão? hehehe Eu adoraria tirar umas fotos disso. ( risada de doce vingança ouvida ao longe - ou tipo uma risadinha pentelha/do mal do Pato Donald quando ele está para aprontar alguma)
Eu ahn... guardei algumas em ahn, lugares protegidos para que ficassem seguras, porque eu VIIIII uns anus brancos comendo um monteeee dos casulos que as taturanas otárias fizeram nazarvre... meu... taturana burra, vai fazer casulo na árvore? ... sério hahahah
