A foot bridge is over the dried out river at Asif Ounila to Ksar Ait Ben Haddou.
The Ounila Valley links the Tizi n Tichka pass to Ait Ben Haddou and was originally the main thoroughfare for the trans-saharan trade route between Marrakesh and sub-saharan Africa. Today, evidence of this once highly important role is reflected in the numerous crumbling kasbah’s and ksar which are dotted all throughout the valley.
The famous ksar of Ait ben Haddou stands at one entrance to the valley (Ouarzazate direction) while the Telouet Kasbah of Thami El Glaoui – once Pasha of Marrakesh and the southern regions – stands at the other (just before the road links back up to the N9 highway). All the kasbah’s and ksar inside the valley were built by families of high status and would have had the privilege of receiving gifts from across the world as a sort of tax for using the road.
A perfect representation of color and detail.

寧越莊陵 [UNESCO世界文化遺產]
(영월 장릉 [유네스코 세계문화유산]) 莊陵 - 朝鮮第六代國皇端宗墓地莊陵，是國王端宗的墓地，王陵規模雖然不大但被保存的很完整，墓地的周圍被松樹所圍繞，為世界文化遺產。在此，可感受年僅16歲的端宗被奪權、被迫讓位，以至流放到清冷浦及賜毒藥而死的悲慘故事。據說，每到寒食在王陵祭祀時更會湧出泉水的“靈泉”。

Lake Annette & Lake Edith, known as kettle lakes, are the residuals of the lake that covered the entire Athabasca valley during the end of ice age. The lakes are fed by the extensive underground river system, from Medicine Lake : the same extensive system that causes the disappearing Medicine Lake and that made the Maligne Canyon.

A pair of giant hands rising from the water have been unveiled on Venice's Grand Canal 砡 sculpture by contemporary artist Lorenzo Quinn intended to highlight the devastation of climate change. I captured only the left hand in this image and tilted my camera so that it looks the hotel is being supported by a giant hand.
Matsumoto Castle (Matsumotojo) is one of the most complete and beautiful among Japan's original castles. It is also a good example of a so called "hirajiro", a castle built on the plain rather than on a hill or mountain.
Matsumotojo's castle tower and smaller, second turret were built from 1592 to 1614 and were both well defended, as peace was not yet fully secured at the time. In 1635, when no more military threats existed, a third, barely defended turret for moon viewing was added to the castle.

“南禪寺”是京都名剎之一，為臨濟宗南禪寺派的大本山，正式名稱為“瑞龍山 太平興國南禪禪寺”。現在仍可從巍峨聳立的三門樓上俯瞰京都。南禪寺因與德川幕關係密切得以重建和興隆，從樓上可以望見御所的結構，似乎蘊涵著某種意圖。
("Nanzen-ji Temple" is one of the famous temples in Kyoto. It is the head temple of the Nanzen-ji School of the Rinzai sect. Its official name is "Zuiryuzan Taipingxingguo Nanzen-zen Temple". You can still overlook Kyoto from the towering Sanmon Tower. Nanzen-ji Temple was rebuilt and prospered due to its close relationship with the Tokugawa shogunate. The structure of the Imperial Palace can be seen from the upper floor, which seems to imply some kind of intention.)

A washed out woman statute was seen the Old Town - Bucharest .Romania. A B/W image perhaps gave more aging feeling of this area.
The Tomb of King Mohammed V was carved out of the white onyx/marble stone block, covered with colorful geometric patterns of mosaics mini-tiles and covered with plaster. The Door leaves, the walls and the ceiling were covered with unique traditional artistic techniques to produce motifs and decorative designs.

Inside the monument contains two floors. The first floor is known as the crypt and features eight statues representing fallen warriors in the form of massive medieval knights. These knights are joined by a number of other figures known as the Guards of the Dead. The second story, known as the Hall of Fame contains four more giant figures, each standing over 31 feet tall representing the four legendary historic qualities ascribed to the German people: bravery, faith, sacrifice, and fertility. If you continue up the stairs (over 500 of them), you will get a scenic view of Leipzig.

plante uma flor e ganhe borboletas
fale uma palavra de conforto pra ver a esperança nascer
escute mais e aprenderás muito.
fale só o nescessário e terás as palavras valorizadas
seja verdadeiro e nunca será chamado de pessoa falsa
cumprimente as pessoas e verás a alegria no rosto delas
reze um pouco para alcançar poucas coisas e bastante para muitas coisas
nunca enriqueças roubando
nunca deseje o mal que não queres para ti
nunca se faça de arrogante para parecer o que não é
nunca negues ao outro o que lhe é de direito
dê ao pobre esmola e condição de poder sobreviver sozinho
cuidado com o que fala, escuta e vê
e acredite mais em Deus!
plant a flower and get butterflies
speak a word of comfort to see the hope born
listen more and learn much.
nescessário speak only the words and you will have valued
is true and will never be called a false person
greet people and see the joy on their faces
pray a little to achieve and very few things for many things
never be rich stealing
ever wish the evil that you do not want to
never get to seem arrogant which is not
never deny to others what it is right
give alms to the poor condition and can survive alone
careful what you speak, listen and see
and believe in God
Marcos Arruda - 2009
