Between Fires and Floods on Mother Earth, we need some calming relief. Prayers for those affected by disasters and for the relief workers.
Where does the sea end?
Where does the sky begin?
the boats are floating.
Or do they fly back?
the horizon was lost
in the mimetic game
of the sky and the waters.
The movement melted
in one color
blue, the still blue.
Colors melt;
movement is turned off.
A single color remains;
there is no windward.
Where does the sea end?
where does the sky begin?
by Jose Maria Hinojosa
ELVION, Mirage (37, 171, 34) - Moderado
The softened light, the veiling haze,
The calm repose of autumn days,
Steal gently o'er the troubled breast,
Soothing life's weary cares to rest.
~Phebe A. Holder, "A Song of October," in The Queries Magazine, October 1890

West of The Rain
Looking across Derwent Reservoir in the Peak District. On this calm day it appears like glass before it disappears over the edge of the dam and down the cascading drop at the other side.

This is my first time challenge. It's fun but I feel difficult.

During our visit, Chichen Itza site was invaded by crowds of tourists, and also plenty merchants on the alleys. Fortunately, as we were leaving at the site's closing, there was almost nobody left.
So i could take a quiet shot of the stunning pyramid of Kukulkan.
This pyramid (also called El Castillo) is not the largest in Mexico: it is about 30m high (99 ft), compared to the 65m (216 ft) Pyramid of the Sun in Tehotihuacan.
But it is certainly one of the most beautiful and best preserved in the country. It dates from the 12th century.
Kukulcan was the Feathered Serpent God among the Toltecs, he was the God of resurrection and reincarnation.

Le calme retrouvé
Lors de notre visite, le site de Chichen Itza était envahi par des foules de touristes, et aussi par plein de marchands sur les allées. Heureusement, à la fermeture du site, alors que nous repartions, il n'y avait presque plus personne.
Ca m'a permis un cliché tranquile de la pyramide extraordinaire de Kukulkàn.
Cette pyramide (également appelée El Castillo) , n'est pas la plus grande du Mexique : elle fait environ 30m de haut , à comparer aux 65 m de la pyramide du Soleil à Tehotihuacan.
Mais c'est certainement une plus belles et des mieux conservées du pays. Elle date du 12ème siècle.
Kukulcán était le dieu Serpent à Plumes chez les Toltèques, il était le Dieu de la résurection et de la réincarnation.
