This peaceful scene is in St. Augustine at the Mission of Nombre De Dios and Shrine of Our Lady La Leche….I love walking around that place…its so peaceful.
I was passing through St. Augustine coming home from an assignment and just had to stop….it was a nice refreshing walk, very nice quiet time.
This was a practice concept for when I was in the 2006 Legoland Model Builder Search. The build category for the audition was pirates, so I was kicking this around in case the final build category was too. It wasn't.
This is a Venezuelan 5 Bolívares coin minted in Caracas in 1887, or about 65 years before I came into the world in Caracas. I sometimes wear it as a reminder of my heritage.
The artist who created the coin was Albert Désiré Barre (Paris 6 May 1818 – 29 December 1878), a "French engraver, medalist, and the 18th Chief Engraver of the Paris Mint from 27 February 1855 to his death. He was the son of Jacques-Jean Barre who preceded him as the Chief Engraver."
The portrait side of the coin says "BOLIVAR LIBERATOR." (Today, according to the rules of the Royal Spanish Academy, there would be an accent in BOLÍVAR even though the word is capitalized.)
The obverse side displays the Venezuelan coat of arms with the legend "ESTADOS UNIDOS DE VENEZUELA" (United States of Venezuela) at the top. That was the title of the country from until 1953, when the constitution mandated a return to the name "Republica de Venezuela."
The weight (25 grams), date (1887) and fineness (900) appear at the bottom.
The ribbon to the left of the coat of arms abbreviates the word "INDEPENDENCIA," or Independence, and gives the date of 5 July 1811. That was when seven of the ten provinces of the Captaincy General of Venezuela declared their independence in the Venezuelan Declaration of Independence.
The ribbon on the right says "LIBERTAD," or Liberty, with a date of 28 March 1864. Why was there such a long gap between the declaration of independence and full liberty?
As far as I can tell, it has to do with the history of internecine conflicts in Venezuela. After the Liberal Party (Partido Liberal) won power in the Federal War, it called for a constitutional convention, to establish the constitution on federal principles. On 28 March 1864, members of the convention met in Caracas to sign it.
Oddly, on coins minted in later years, the date of liberty is 13 April 1864, which is when President Falcón ordered the publication and circulation of the new constitution.
God only knows what 5 Bolívares are worth in American currency today, but when I lived in Venezuela the exchange rate was 4 Bs. to the dollar.

The Madre de Dios River, homonymous to the Peruvian region it runs through, then becomes the Beni River in Bolivia and then turns northward into Brazil, where it is called the Madeira River. The Madeira is a tributary to the Amazon River.
The Madre de Dios is an important waterway for the department of Madre de Dios, particularly Puerto Maldonado, the largest town in the area, and the capital of the department. Mango farming and Gold mining are among the many industries on its beaches. Other important industries the Madre de Dios provides are selective logging and farming, both of which are serious environmental problems. Along the length of the river there are several national parks and reserves, notably Tambopata-Candamo National Park, Manu National Park (also known as Manu Biosphere Reserve) and Bahuaja-Sonene National Park.
Madre de Dios is a region in southeastern Peru, bordering Brazil, Bolivia and the Peruvian regions of Puno, Cusco and Ucayali. Its capital is the city of Puerto Maldonado. The name of the region is a very common Spanish-language designation for the Virgin Mary, literally meaning Mother of God.
The region is almost entirely low-lying Amazonian rainforest. The climate is warm and damp, with average temperatures around 26 °C (79 °F) [max. 34 °C (93 °F), min 21 °C (70 °F)]. The rainy season is from December to March, when torrential rainfall causes rivers to swell and often burst their banks. Annual precipitation can be as much as 3 metres (9.8 ft).
The south-western boundary with the Cusco Region is known as the Isthmus of Fitzcarrald, a series of small mountains that separate the Madre de Dios River and the Urubamba River.
Notable rivers in the Madre de Dios River watershed are:
•Inambari River
•Tambopata River
•Manu River
•Tahuamanu River
•Las Piedras River, also known as Tacuatimanu River
•Heath River
•Acre River
•Los Amigos River
Due to the vast size of the area and its low population density, rivers provide the best way of getting from one town to another. Human activity is invariably confined to riverbanks. A number of explorers have searched for the lost city of Paititi in the jungle within the region.
The only road of note is between the town of Puerto Maldonado and the city of Cusco, 530 kilometres (330 mi) away in Cusco Region. However, it is in very poor condition and flights between Cuzco and Puerto Maldonado remain the most common and reliable method of transport between the two.
From Puerto Maldonado there is a road to the mining town of Laberinto ("Labyrinth") (about 50 kilometres (31 mi) long). A second road is between the village of Atalaya and Cuzco. It is a roughly 300 kilometres (190 mi)-long single track road that is impassable in the rainy season.

Gracias a la Vida, que me ha dado tanto;
me dio dos luceros que cuando los abro
perfecto distingo lo negro del blanco,
y en el alto cielo su fondo estrellado,
y en las multitudes el hombre que yo amo.
Gracias a la, vida que me ha dado tanto;
Me ha dado el oído, que en todo su ancho
graba noche y dia, grillos y canarios,
martillos, turbinas, ladridos, chubascos.
y la voz tan tierna de mi bienamado.
Gracias a la Vida, que me ha dado tanto;
me ha dado el sonido y el abedecedario.
con él, las palabras que pienso y declaro:
madre, amigo, Hermano, y luz, alumbrando
la ruta del alma del que estoy amando.
Gracias a la Vida, que me ha dado tanto;
me ha dado la marcha de mis pies cansados.
Con ellos anduve ciudades y charcos,
playas y desiertos, montañas y llanos,
y la casa tuya, tu calle y tu patio.
Gracias a la Vida, que me ha dado tanto;
me dio el corazón, que agita su marco
cuando miro el fruto del cerebro humano,
cuando miro al bueno tan lejos del malo,
cuando miro al fondo de tus ojos claros.
Gracias a la Vida, que me ha dado tanto;
me ha dado la risa y me ha dado el llanto.
Así yo distingo dicha de quebranto,
los dos materiales que forman mi canto;
y el canto de ustedes, que es el mismo canto;
y el canto de todos, que es mi propio canto.
Gracias a la Vida!!!!!!!!!! (Violeta Parra/Mercedes Sosa)

Este sabado salimos 12 estudiantes de la Academia de Arte y Fotografía Cabrales del Valle a realizar un photowalk por el ultramarino pueblo de Regla.
No podíamos dejar de ser pasajeros de la lanchita de Regla, como se conoce popularmente a la barca que te cruza por la bahía hasta este poblado habanero.
Así que con sueños compartidos sobre la luz y las pasiones nos adentramos en este poblado de magia, religión, historia y carisma.
Sus pobladores siempre han tenido fama de temibles, guapetones, amigos de las fiestas, brujerías y casa de los guaracheros de regla, comparsa que ha arrollado por el malecón habanero cada verano para recordarnos que el baile y la música también tejen su historia.
Al llegar al muelle nos adentramos en la iglesia de regla, y su patrona la virgen de regla, afuera como ya se hace costumbre se agrupan vendedores de flores, personas pidiendo para sus santos, adivinadores, vendedores de alimentos, estampas, velas y otros.
Estabamos inmersos en medio de nuestra busqueda de imagenes cuando esta señora nos llama a Laura y a mi y comenzó a relatar a Laura cosas que la impresionaron mucho.
Mientras me hablaba a mí, solo pude sonreír, pues no solo encontré dulzura en sus palabras y aliento en sus ideas. Sus verdades olían a historia, a pasado, a mundos paralelos, caminos no trillados, mientras en la corteza del árbol al fondo alguien quiso contarnos que Dios Vive.
Espero tengan un buen día y una maravillosa semana.
This Saturday we left 12 students from the Academy of Art and Photography Cabrales del Valle to do a photowalk through the town of Regla.
We could not avoid be passengers on the "Lanchita de Regla", commonly known as the boat you cross the bay to the town of Regla.
So with light hopes and passions we move into this town of magic, religion, history and charisma.
Its inhabitants have always had a reputation for fearsome, Bullying, friends parties, witchcraft and "Los guaracheros de Regla", dance on every carnival that has run over by the Havana malecon each summer to remind us that the dance and music also weave our history.
Upon arrival at the dock we enter the church and its patron saint, the Virgin of Regla, out as is already usual cluster flower vendors, asking for his holy saints, fortune tellers, food vendors, prints, candles and more.
We were immersed in the midst of our search for images when this lady called us, Laura and me and began to relate to things that Laura was very impressed about.
While she was talking to me, I could only smile, not only because I found sweetness in his words and encouragement in their ideas. His truths smelled of history, past, parallel worlds, not trodden paths, while in the tree at the background someone writte down God lives.
I hope you have a good day and a wonderful week.
Temple of the Wind God...
The Temple of the Wind God is one of the most photographed buildings in Tulum because of its location right next to the blue turquoise sea...The God of Wind was related to the four cardinal points, because the wind blows in all directions. Hence, its temples had a cylindrical shape, in order to offer less resistance to the wind...It’s said that when hurricanes approached Tulum, a whistle sound was created from a specially designed hole at the top of this building, so when the Mayans would hear it, they knew they had to leave the city to seek protection inland...
