Dans de nombreuses cultures, les vautours sont perçus comme des symboles de renouveau et de purification.
En nettoyant l’environnement des restes d’animaux morts, ils jouent un rôle crucial dans l’écosystème.
Leur vol majestueux est non seulement un spectacle à admirer, mais aussi un rappel de l’importance de la biodiversité et de la santé des écosystèmes.
En somme, le vol des vautours est une merveille de la nature qui illustre à quel point ces oiseaux sont adaptés à leur environnement et essentiels à l’équilibre écologique.

A tengu mask in Japanese culture symbolizes protection, wisdom, and a connection to mountain spirits, but also the duality of good and evil, arrogance and cunning. It is used in rituals, dances, and theaters such as Noh and Kabuki to represent the multifaceted nature of the mythological creature, the tengu, which is half human, half bird and often possesses a long red nose and wings.

Standing tall in divine grace, this is the magnificent bronze statue of Kuan Yin, the Goddess of Mercy, at Kek Lok Si Temple in Penang, Malaysia. Rising over 30 meters high, she represents compassion, kindness, and love—values deeply cherished in Buddhist culture.
Kek Lok Si, Southeast Asia's largest Buddhist temple, has been a beacon of spirituality and cultural pride since the late 19th century. This awe-inspiring pavilion, completed in 2009, shelters the goddess with its intricately carved pillars and vibrant roof, symbolizing both strength and serenity.
A visit to Kek Lok Si is not only a spiritual journey but also a visual delight—where history, architecture, and faith come together in perfect harmony.
Tip for Visitors: The temple's hilltop location offers a stunning panoramic view of Penang, especially at sunset. Don’t miss this sacred masterpiece!
Recorrer el camino de los mil toriis (senbon torii) era uno de los motivos de mi viaje. Pero recorrerlo a media noche fue una mezcla de misticismo y temor que infundían las mil sombras que se movían el el exterior del camino y la incertidumbre de poder salir alguna vez del laberinto.
Ya fuese fantasía o realidad, no me cabe la menor duda de que este lugar tiene una energía muy especial.
Her final stop was Cwmbran, a town with a lively atmosphere. Clara explored shops and cafés, and savored the bustling city life before heading back to Aberwyl to conclude her journey.
When Clara returned to Aberwyl, she realized how rich and diverse Auneland was. The combination of natural beauty, culture, history, and hospitality had left a profound impression on her. She knew she would someday return to this enchanting land, which had now captured a special place in her heart.

You probably have come across this term. Wikipedia would give you a variety of definitions and explanations. From the perspective of the UK and, important to clarify, from my own point of view, I would say that what is being talked about is a struggle for power over public opinion and the control of the media. Political interest groups use "hot-button" issues (racism, gender roles, Brexit, immigration, the interpretation of colonial history etc.) as a technique to polarise society and distinguish between "us" and "them". This is not a debate in the interest of truth. It is all about bullying and pushing certain agendas through. In other words, culture wars have intentional consequences. When a public TV channel with critical news reporting is being "privatised" or when the public BBC is threatened with a redrafting of its charter, you know that very likely culture wars are involved.

Orchhâ (Inde) -Dans la plupart des cultures asiatiques, l’éléphant est considéré comme un animal sacré.
En Inde, c’est même l’une ds principale figure de l’hindouisme symbolisée par Ganesh, le dieu de la sagesse et de la connaissance.
La photo ci-dessus illustre une pratique liée à l’hindouisme. Elle consiste à donner une offrande à l’éléphant (banane etc.) et un billet à son cornac ; en échange le pachyderme bénira le donateur d’un coup de trompe. Rassurez-vous, l’animal est dressé pour que son appendice nasal ne soit pas meurtrier.
Une tradition qui amuse lcroyants et touristes, mais qui ne doit pas faire oublier que selon une étude du « Word Animal Protection », ces éléphants seraient maltraités pour la plupart.
Blessing with a blow of the trunk.
Orchhâ (Inde) - In most Asian cultures, the elephant is considered a sacred animal.
In India, he is even a leading figure in Hinduism symbolized by Ganesh, the god of wisdom and knowledge.
The photo above illustrates a practice related to Hinduism. It consists of giving an offering to the elephant (banana etc.) and a ticket to its mahout ; in return the pachyderm will bless the donor with a blow from the trunk. Rest assured, the animal is trained so that its nasal appendage is not lethal.
A tradition which amuses believers and tourists, but which should not make us forget that according to a study by the “Word Animal Protection”, most of these elephants are mistreated.
