Inside the Mosque–Cathedral of Córdoba
This heritage site is amazing the blending between Islam and Catholic art and architecture is so well blended that makes us forget everything outside and feel a true peace of mind. Makes one think what is going wrong with the world? For sure GOD as an entity of good, just want every one to coexists in peace and do good, no matter what any religion says.
Please, I don't intend to offend in any way any one's belief, or start any kind of ideological discussion, this is just my point of view.

I can't imagine having to go through life with a beak like this, but somehow, it appears these birds can coexist in tight flocks within impaling each other. But this instance came pretty close...

They say that these are not the best of times
But they're the only times I've ever known
And I believe there is a time for meditation
In cathedrals of our own
Now I have seen that sad
Surrender in my lover's eyes
And I can only stand apart and sympathize
For we are always
What our situations hand us
It's either sadness or euphoria
So we'll argue and we'll compromise
And realize that nothing's ever changed
For all our mutual experience
Our separate conclusions are the same
Now we are forced
To recognize our inhumanity
Our reason coexists with our insanity
And though we choose
Between reality and madness
It's either sadness or euphoria
How thoughtlessly we dissipate our energies
Perhaps we don't fulfill each others fantasies
And as we stand upon the ledges of our lives
With our respective similarities
It's either sadness or euphoria
This seagull was stepping out along the promenade at Dymchurch in Kent. It obviously thought it was king of the walk!
Gulls, often referred to as seagulls, are seabirds of the family Laridae in the suborder Lari. They are most closely related to the terns (family Sternidae) and only distantly related to auks, skimmers, and more distantly to the waders. Until the 21st century, most gulls were placed in the genus Larus, but this arrangement is now known to be polyphyletic, leading to the resurrection of several genera. An older name for gulls is mew, cognate with German Möwe, Danish måge, Dutch meeuw, and French mouette; this term can still be found in certain regional dialects.
Gulls are typically medium to large birds, usually grey or white, often with black markings on the head or wings. They typically have harsh wailing or squawking calls, stout, longish bills, and webbed feet. Most gulls, particularly Larus species, are ground-nesting carnivores, which take live food or scavenge opportunistically. Live food often includes crabs and small fish. Gulls have unhinging jaws which allow them to consume large prey. Apart from the kittiwakes, gulls are typically coastal or inland species, rarely venturing far out to sea. The large species take up to four years to attain full adult plumage, but two years is typical for small gulls. Large white-headed gulls are typically long-lived birds, with a maximum age of 49 years recorded for the herring gull.
Gulls nest in large, densely packed noisy colonies. They lay two or three speckled eggs in nests composed of vegetation. The young are precocial, being born with dark mottled down, and mobile upon hatching.
Gulls—the larger species in particular—are resourceful, inquisitive and intelligent birds, demonstrating complex methods of communication and a highly developed social structure. For example, many gull colonies display mobbing behaviour, attacking and harassing would-be predators and other intruders. Certain species (e.g. the herring gull) have exhibited tool use behaviour, using pieces of bread as bait with which to catch goldfish, for example. Many species of gulls have learned to coexist successfully with humans and have thrived in human habitats. Others rely on kleptoparasitism to get their food. Gulls have been observed preying on live whales, landing on the whale as it surfaces to peck out pieces of flesh.

BUONA PASQUA a tutti gli amici di Flickr,
con questa visione di Roma - ripresa dal Monumento a Vittorio Emanuele II (Altare della Patria) - dove coesistono in splendida armonia i luoghi di culto della cristianità e i resti dell'antica civiltà romana.
Con l'augurio che il mondo possa presto ricominciare a viaggiare!
--------------------
HAPPY EASTER to all my Flickr friends!
with this view of Rome - taken from the Victor Emmanuel II Monument (Altar of the Fatherland) - where Christianity's places of worship and remains of ancient Roman civilization coexist in splendid harmony.
With the hope that the world will soon start traveling again!
Frank Gehry's whimsically designed Jay Pritzker Amphitheater attains a magical feel when backed by skyscrapers and fronted by prairie grasses as twilight begins.
The Escombreras Valley, an old mining valley, is located southeast of Cartagena, in Murcia, Spain, and seems to belong to another planet; Salted fish factories already existed in these places in Roman times. In the middle of the 20th century, the first oil refinery on the Iberian Peninsula was inaugurated here. From that moment on, numerous petrochemical, gas, fertilizer and strontium chemistry companies began to establish themselves. This led to an increase in pollution that made residential life impossible for its neighbors and resulted in the disappearance of the old town. Large-tonnage ships from all over the world dock at its port. Oil and gas pipelines leave for the rest of the country. In this industrial framework, old, gigantic and abandoned spherical and cylindrical tanks coexist with other more modern ones whose whiteness stands out in the landscape. On the Escombreras' island, very close to the industrial complex, remains of a Greek sanctuary dedicated to Hercules and a Roman necropolis have been found.
The unbelievably elaborate and intricate decoration of the Alhambra in Granada reminds me of times when different cultures coexisted in rather fruitful togetherness.
Happy Textural Tuesday!
Il Duomo di Parma, intitolata a Santa Maria Assunta, fu edificato a partire dal 1074 dal Vescovo-Conte Guibodo a seguito dell'incendio che distrusse la precedente basilica paleocristiana.
Qui l'essenzialità della scultura romanica convive con lo sfarzo della pittura rinascimentale. Alcune delle cappelle laterali sono tuttora rimaste affrescate in stile gotico.

Here the essentiality of Romanesque sculpture coexists with the splendor of Renaissance painting. Some of the side chapels are still frescoed in Gothic style.
This is the last picture I took that rainy evening in the Stotel Forest. Directly behind me is the already mentioned wooden palisade and although it looks very interesting, I decided to use these roots, washed down by the clear water, as a motif instead. I wonder who will withstand this situation - the water or the tree? I don't think we will find out within the next 10 years. Maybe both could coexist in peace and harmony?
Dies ist die letzte Aufnahme, die ich an dem regnerischen Abend im Stotelwald gemacht habe. Direkt hinter mir ist die bereits erwähnte Holzpalisade und obwohl sie sehr interessant aussieht, habe ich mich stattdessen für diese vom klaren Wasser unterspülten Wurzeln als Motiv entschieden. Ich frage mich, wer dieser Situation standhalten wird – das Wasser oder der Baum? Ich denke, wir werden es nicht innerhalb der nächsten 10 Jahren erfahren. Vielleicht könnten beide in Frieden und Harmonie zusammenleben.
This seagull is one of a pair who are nesting on top of our roof in anticipation of summer babies! This happens every year often with the fledglings falling from the roof and either being killed by foxes or rescued by local wildlife charities!

For hundreds of years Paris has served as a genuine “research lab” where pioneering architects have come to experiment with their ideas. This has ultimately fashioned the French capital into a city which has bit of everything. If you looked around, you would grasp the presence of different epochs coexisting harmoniously in the city’s Roman, Medieval, Renaissance, Baroque, Classical, Neo-Classical, Art Nouveau and Contemporary Architecture styles.

Comment sur un espace aussi réduit, tant d’hommes peuvent-ils coexister sans se détruire, sans se haïr mortellement ? Au vrai, ils se haïssent, mais ils ne sont pas à la hauteur de leur haine. Cette médiocrité, cette impuissance sauve la société, en assure la durée et la stabilité. De temps en temps il s’y produit quelque secousse dont nos instincts profitent ; puis, nous continuons à nous regarder dans les yeux comme si de rien n’était et à cohabiter sans nous entre-déchirer trop visiblement. Tout rentre dans l’ordre, dans le calme de la férocité, aussi redoutable, en dernière instance, que le chaos qui l’avait interrompu.
Histoire et utopie - Emil Cioran
The single biggest threat to our planet is the destruction of habitat and along the way loss of precious wildlife. We need to reach a balance where people, habitat, and wildlife can co-exist – if we don’t everyone loses … one day.

“A change fell upon all things. Strange brilliant flowers, star-shaped, burst out upon the trees where no flowers had been before. The tints of the green carpet deepened; and when, one by one, the white daisies shrank away, there sprang up, in place of them, ten by ten of the ruby-red asphodel. And life arose in our paths; for the tall flamingo hitherto unseen, with all gay glowing birds, flaunted his scarlet plumage before us. The golden and silver fish haunted the river.

MANFRED MANN – PRETTY FLAMINGO
Flaming June
Flamingos
orange sun
pink feather boas
and tutus swayed
lush green grass
where grasshoppers played
canopies of trees
Summer rain
buzzing bees
jungle cries
humidity
exotic flowers
cooling showers
drums and echoes
salamanders and geckos
giraffes and elephants
breathless now we pant
rhinos and anteaters
peppers and saltpetre
leopards and lions
monkeys and tigers
shadowy blurred and parallel lines
wonder where we were
some kind of dreamland
where worlds collide
where pink flamingos
and pink pigeons coincide
coexisting
we're just visiting
just passing through
hello; adieu
the rain keeps falling
the jungle's calling
don't want to leave
just want to believe
in magic and fairy dust
in all good things I trust
can't tear my gaze away
I just want to stay
I am spellbound
I want to be crowned
Princess of the jungle here
there is nothing for me to fear
I cannot get lost
not unless I want to
I don't count the cost
I will always believe in you
walking through the desert
brightly coloured birds
the noise can be deafening
my voice cannot be heard
it is suddenly hard to breathe
no moisture in the air
and then just as suddenly
it all disappeared
just as I feared
it would
just because
it could …

From last Thursdays day of dodging rain drops. I find the Orange-crowned are very curious when comes to other birds in the area not at all aggressive, they seem to coexist with other song birds. Have you found the same type of behaviour with these birds?
The red squirrel (Sciurus vulgaris) is a species of tree squirrel in the genus Sciurus common throughout Europe and Asia. The red squirrel is an arboreal, primarily herbivorous rodent.
In Great Britain, Ireland, and in Italy numbers have decreased drastically in recent years. This decline is associated with the introduction by humans of the eastern grey squirrel (Sciurus carolinensis) from North America. However, the population in Scotland is stabilising due to conservation efforts, awareness and the increasing population of the pine marten, a European predator that selectively controls grey squirrels.
The red squirrel has a typical head-and-body length of 19 to 23 cm (7+1⁄2 to 9 in), a tail length of 15 to 20 cm (6 to 8 in), and a mass of 250 to 340 g (9 to 12 oz). Males and females are the same size. The red squirrel is somewhat smaller than the eastern grey squirrel which has a head-and-body length of 25 to 30 cm (10 to 12 in) and weighs between 400 and 800 g (14 oz and 1 lb 12 oz).
The long tail helps the squirrel to balance and steer when jumping from tree to tree and running along branches and may keep the animal warm during sleep.
The red squirrel, like most tree squirrels, has sharp curved claws to help it to climb and descend broad tree trunks, thin branches, and even house walls. Its strong hind legs let it leap gaps between trees. The red squirrel also can swim.
The coat of the red squirrel varies in colour with time of year and location. There are several coat colour morphs ranging from black to red. Red coats are most common in Great Britain; in other parts of Europe and Asia different coat colours coexist within populations, much like hair colour in some human populations.
The underside of the squirrel is always white-cream in colour. The red squirrel sheds its coat twice a year, switching from a thinner summer coat to a thicker, darker winter coat with noticeably larger ear-tufts (a prominent distinguishing feature of this species) between August and November. A lighter, redder overall coat colour, along with the ear-tufts (in adults) and smaller size, distinguish the Eurasian red squirrel from the American eastern grey squirrel.
The red colour is for camouflage when seen against the bark of pine trees.
Red squirrels occupy boreal, coniferous woods in northern Europe and Siberia, preferring Scots pine, Norway spruce and Siberian pine. In western and southern Europe they are found in broad-leaved woods where the mixture of tree and shrub species provides a better year-round source of food. In most of the British Isles and in Italy, broad-leaved woodlands are now less suitable due to the better competitive feeding strategy of introduced grey squirrels.

In most of the British Isles and in Italy, broad-leaved woodlands are now less suitable due to the better competitive feeding strategy of introduced grey squirrels.
The red squirrel is found in both coniferous forest and temperate broadleaf woodlands. The squirrel makes a drey (nest) out of twigs in a branch-fork, forming a domed structure about 25 to 30 cm in diameter. This is lined with moss, leaves, grass and bark. Tree hollows and woodpecker holes are also used. The red squirrel is a solitary animal and is shy and reluctant to share food with others. However, outside the breeding season and particularly in winter, several red squirrels may share a drey to keep warm. Social organization is based on dominance hierarchies within and between sexes; although males are not necessarily dominant to females, the dominant animals tend to be larger and older than subordinate animals, and dominant males tend to have larger home ranges than subordinate males or females.
Nada identifica mejor al país que su diversidad. Y para el antropólogo Wigberto Rivero Pinto, dicha diversidad se constituye en el mayor tesoro de Bolivia. Afrobolivianos, blancos, mestizos e indígenas le ponen sazón al variopinto mosaico de manifestaciones culturales que coexisten a lo largo del país.
“Nuestra diversidad expresa riqueza. Por ejemplo, cada uno de los pueblos indígenas que habitan el territorio nacional es depositario de un conjunto de valores que se manifiestan en formas propias de ver el mundo; la naturaleza de organizarse, de generar arte, de producir, de vivir y sentir”, expresa Rivero, quien por años estudió a las distintas etnias del país. Los datos de ese sesudo trabajo, sumado a los resultados del Censo de Población y Vivienda 2001, publicado por el Instituto Nacional de Estadísticas (INE), son la base de esta nota periodística que intenta dar luces sobre 34 de los 36 grupos originarios oficialmente reconocidos.
I think in April or May I spotted it, but could not capture, we have so many Mongoose in our backyard so thought it might have left. But today saw again, Chiku our 🐱 now 6 months old spotted him. Last time i noticed cobra just hissed at our dogs but didn't bite, so I was bit confident, but worried about Chiku.
Chiku is shy, and if I scold him he do listen me, but not today, I literally had to take him away forcefully, fir the first time i beat him lightly with a long stick. He was startled, and ran way... Hushhh felt relieved. But still cobra was in defensive mode with open hood for some time. And could capture couple of shots. Stupid I am
There are wonderful angels - Volunteers who rescue snakes to safe place. A snake catching teenager boy Shahid was luckily nearby, he and his Dad rushed our place but today again he managed to disappear 😂
Now on I have to be more cautious. Whole place is like a Mini-amazon after rain, and now it's risky to ask for outside help to remove weeds etc.
I just want that snake to live without harming others and also I want him to be safe as well. We have to learn to coexist blissfully.

Hi everyone,
I was so fortunate this past weekend to have a chance to spend some time with a local fox family right in my part of Ontario.
This is 'Father Fox'. What an amazing few moments we had together. He was really quite comfortable with my presence. One of his kits wasn't far away.
Wildlife adds so much to city life. We must find ways to coexist with it.

Alameda de Cervantes, Soria.
La Alameda de Cervantes, conocida popularmente como "La Dehesa", es el jardín por excelencia de la ciudad de Soria (Castilla y León, España), no solo por su ubicación en el mismo centro de la ciudad, donde conviven cientos y cientos de especies de vegetación, sino por su alto valor cultural y paisajístico. Además, es uno de los jardines públicos más antiguos de España y de Europa.
Es la zona verde más importante de la ciudad y el verdadero pulmón verde del casco urbano. El parque se encuentra en el centro de la ciudad, frente a la Plaza de Mariano Granados y junto al Paseo del Espolón. Hay quien en ella busca los íntimos paseos por donde caminar lentamente, la inconmensurable belleza de La Rosaleda, el delicioso alto del parque en el que se encuentra una verde pradera, las cafeterías para reponer fuerzas, fuentes de agua cristalina, farolas que iluminan las noches de tranquilidad soriana o cómodos bancos que invitan al descanso.

Raven - Corvus corax
The common raven (Corvus corax), also known as the northern raven, is a large all-black passerine bird. Found across the Northern Hemisphere, it is the most widely distributed of all corvids. There are at least eight subspecies with little variation in appearance, although recent research has demonstrated significant genetic differences among populations from various regions. It is one of the two largest corvids, alongside the thick-billed raven, and is possibly the heaviest passerine bird; at maturity, the common raven averages 63 centimetres (25 inches) in length and 1.2 kilograms (2.6 pounds) in mass. Common ravens can live up to 21 years in the wild, a lifespan surpassed among passerines by only a few Australasian species such as the satin bowerbird and probably the lyrebirds. Young birds may travel in flocks but later mate for life, with each mated pair defending a territory.
Common ravens have coexisted with humans for thousands of years and in some areas have been so numerous that people have regarded them as pests. Part of their success as a species is due to their omnivorous diet; they are extremely versatile and opportunistic in finding sources of nutrition, feeding on carrion, insects, cereal grains, berries, fruit, small animals, nesting birds, and food waste.
Some notable feats of problem-solving provide evidence that the common raven is unusually intelligent. Over the centuries, it has been the subject of mythology, folklore, art, and literature. In many cultures, including the indigenous cultures of Scandinavia, ancient Ireland and Wales, Bhutan, the northwest coast of North America, and Siberia and northeast Asia, the common raven has been revered as a spiritual figure or godlike creature.
