Este fenómeno natural produce gruesas capas blancas de piedra caliza y travertino que bajan en forma de cascadas por la ladera de la montaña, lo que da la sensación de estar ante una catarata congelada. Estas formaciones también adquieren el aspecto de terrazas de travertino en forma de medialuna que contienen una capa de agua poco profunda dispuestas en el tercio superior de la ladera formando escalones, que oscilan de 1 a 6 metros de altura, o estalactitas que sostienen y unen estas terrazas.
Entre las rocas más antiguas se pueden encontrar mármoles cristalinos, cuarcitas y esquistos, que datan del periodo del Plioceno, mientras que la capa superior es de la era Cuaternaria. Los depósitos más recientes de carbonato de calcio le dan al lugar un aspecto blanco deslumbrante.

LE CULTE DE LA ROSE**
Célébrant une fleur,c'est un hymne à la femme
Que Bécaud a chanté avec toute son âme.
Suscitant le désir, elle engendre la vie,
Quand, semblable à la rose, elle s'épanouit.
Déesse de l'amour, fascinante et féconde,
Elle est indispensable à la survie du monde.
Èros, dieu puissant qui incarnait l'amour
Agit, différemment, sans doute, de nos jours.
Cette splendide fleur que l'on appelle rose,
Doit être protégée, en bouton ou éclose.
Des hommes la célèbrent et vantent ses attraits,
Pour vénérer la femme en des rites secrets.
La rose est l'important,nous affirma Bécaud.
Il loua cette fleur symbolique, tout haut.
Elle nous apparaît,reine par sa beauté
Et déesse accomplie de la fécondité.
Suzanne Walther-Siksou**
A view upstream the Pegnitz river. The building on the left is the Heilig-Geist-Spital, built 1339. The Reichskleinodien (Imperial Regalia) were stored there from 1424 to 1796.
The Schuldturm tower in the center was built in 1323 as part of the town fortifications. As the city grew and new fortifications were built further outside the town, the tower found new use as debtors' prison, thus the name Schuldturm (lit. "debt tower").

After a short period of frost and snow, the temperature rises and all ice-forms start to melt. Winter is gone……. or…..?
Happy weekend!
Snowy Egret
From Cornell:
Highly social all year long, Snowy Egrets forage with gulls, terns, ibises, and other herons, and they nest in colonies alongside many other species, including Great Egrets, night-herons, Glossy Ibises, Little Blue Herons, Tricolored Herons, Cattle Egrets, and Roseate Spoonbills.

The two forms of black-tailed deer that occupy coastal woodlands in the Pacific Northwest of North America are subspecies of the mule deer (Odocoileus hemionus). They have sometimes been treated as a species, but virtually all recent authorities maintain they are subspecies. The Columbian black-tailed deer is found in western North America, from Northern California into the Pacific Northwest of the United States and coastal British Columbia in Canada. The Sitka deer is found coastally in British Columbia, southeast Alaska, and southcentral Alaska (as far as Kodiak Island).
These two subspecies thrive on the edge of the forest, as the dark forest lacks the underbrush and grasslands the deer prefer as food, and completely open areas lack the hiding spots and cover they prefer for harsh weather. One of the plants that black-tailed deer browse is western poison oak, despite its irritant content. This deer often is most active at dawn and dusk, and is frequently involved in collisions with automobiles. (Wikipedia)
This is the Columbian sub-species. Based on maps of sightings in iNaturalist, the Sitka sub-species is not found on Vancouver Island.
There were three deer roaming the parking lot at our hotel. They then just ambled across the road to the flower beds on the other side, totally oblivious to the traffic. Thankfully, no collisions ensured.

Icebergs form when chunks of ice calve, or break off, from glaciers, ice shelves, or a larger iceberg. Icebergs travel with ocean currents, sometimes smashing up against the shore or getting caught in shallow waters ( credit NSIDC). We sailed into Paradise Bay it was very dark with mist. Then there was a break in the clouds over the mountain slope. This photo was taken in the mid afternoon. The seas were still but visibility was poor. The Antarctic Peninsula is the northernmost part of the mainland of Antarctica, located at the base of the Southern Hemisphere. Antarctica is a continent, bigger than Europe, North America or Australia,
So many forces act to provide these forms and lines – geologic upthrust and erosive carving, where the light falls and how the winds prevail, patterns of moisture and light that determine the growth of trees and shrubs. In the Wasatch Mountains, near Salt Lake City.

Sui monti che circondano la conca d'Alpago è scesa la prima neve. E' una neve tardoautunnale; sono veli leggeri ed effimeri che avranno beve durata. Eppure essi rivestono la montagna di fascino e ne alleggeriscono l'immagine cupa e massiccia. Grazie ai primi veli di vene, infatti, la montagna rivela tutta se stessa, tutte le sue asperità, le sue forme, i suoi anfratti. Come una signora che offre d'improvviso tutta la sua bellezza ..... ..

Foro Romano
El Foro Romano (en latín, Forum Romanum, aunque los romanos se referían a él comúnmente como Forum Magnum o simplemente Forum) era el foro de la ciudad de Roma, es decir, la zona central —semejante a las plazas centrales en las ciudades actuales— donde se encuentran las instituciones de gobierno, de mercado y religiosas. Al igual que hoy en día, era donde tenían lugar el comercio, los negocios, la prostitución, la religión y la administración de justicia. En él se situaba el hogar comunal.
Series de restos de pavimento muestran que sedimentos erosionados desde las colinas circundantes ya estaban elevando el nivel del foro en la primera época de la República. Originalmente había sido un terreno pantanoso, que fue drenado por los Tarquinios mediante la Cloaca Máxima. Su pavimento de travertino definitivo, que aún puede verse, data del reinado de César Augusto.
Actualmente es famoso por sus restos, que muestran elocuentemente el uso de los espacios urbanos durante el Imperio romano. El Foro Romano incluye los siguientes monumentos, edificios y demás ruinas antiguas importantes:
Templo de Cástor y Pólux
Templo de Rómulo
Templo de Saturno
Templo de Vesta
Casa de las Vestales
Templo de Venus y Roma
Templo de César
Basílica Emilia
Basílica Julia
Arco de Septimio Severo
Arco de Tito
Rostra (plural de rostrum), la tribuna desde donde los políticos daban sus discursos a los ciudadanos romanos.
Curia Julia, sede del Senado.
Basílica de Majencio y Constantino
Tabulario
Templo de Antonino y Faustina
Regia
Templo de Vespasiano y Tito
Templo de la Concordia
Templo de Jano
Un camino procesional, la Vía Sacra, cruza el Foro Romano conectándolo con el Coliseo. Al final del Imperio perdió su uso cotidiano quedando como lugar sagrado.
El último monumento construido en el Foro fue la Columna de Focas. Durante la Edad Media, aunque la memoria del Foro Romano persistió, los edificios fueron en su mayor parte enterrados bajo escombros y su localización, la zona entre el monte Capitolino y el Coliseo, fue designada Campo Vaccinio o ‘campo bovino’. El regreso del papa Urbano V desde Aviñón en 1367 despertó un creciente interés por los monumentos antiguos, en parte por su lección moral y en parte como cantera para construir nuevos edificios. Se extrajo gran cantidad de mármol para construcciones papales (en el Vaticano principalmente) y para cocer en hornos creados en el mismo foro para hacer cal. Miguel Ángel expresó en muchas ocasiones su oposición a la destrucción de los restos. Artistas de finales del siglo XV dibujaron las ruinas del Foro, los anticuarios copiaron inscripciones desde el siglo XVI y se comenzó una excavación profesional a finales del siglo XVIII. Un cardenal tomó medidas para drenarlo de nuevo y construyó el barrio Alessadrine sobre él. No obstante, la excavación de Carlo Fea, quien empezó a retirar los escombros del Arco de Septimio Severo en 1803, y los arqueólogos del régimen napoleónico marcaron el comienzo de la limpieza del Foro, que no fue totalmente excavado hasta principios del siglo XX.
En su estado actual, se muestran juntos restos de varios siglos, debido a la práctica romana de construir sobre ruinas más antiguas.

The Roman Forum
The Roman Forum, also known by its Latin name Forum Romanum (Italian: Foro Romano), is a rectangular forum (plaza) surrounded by the ruins of several important ancient government buildings at the center of the city of Rome. Citizens of the ancient city referred to this space, originally a marketplace, as the Forum Magnum, or simply the Forum.
For centuries the Forum was the center of day-to-day life in Rome: the site of triumphal processions and elections; the venue for public speeches, criminal trials, and gladiatorial matches; and the nucleus of commercial affairs. Here statues and monuments commemorated the city's great men. The teeming heart of ancient Rome, it has been called the most celebrated meeting place in the world, and in all history.Located in the small valley between the Palatine and Capitoline Hills, the Forum today is a sprawling ruin of architectural fragments and intermittent archaeological excavations attracting 4.5 million or more sightseers yearly.
Many of the oldest and most important structures of the ancient city were located on or near the Forum. The Roman Kingdom's earliest shrines and temples were located on the southeastern edge. These included the ancient former royal residence, the Regia (8th century BC), and the Temple of Vesta (7th century BC), as well as the surrounding complex of the Vestal Virgins, all of which were rebuilt after the rise of imperial Rome.
Other archaic shrines to the northwest, such as the Umbilicus Urbis and the Vulcanal (Shrine of Vulcan), developed into the Republic's formal Comitium (assembly area). This is where the Senate—as well as Republican government itself—began. The Senate House, government offices, tribunals, temples, memorials and statues gradually cluttered the area.
Over time the archaic Comitium was replaced by the larger adjacent Forum and the focus of judicial activity moved to the new Basilica Aemilia (179 BC). Some 130 years later, Julius Caesar built the Basilica Julia, along with the new Curia Julia, refocusing both the judicial offices and the Senate itself. This new Forum, in what proved to be its final form, then served as a revitalized city square where the people of Rome could gather for commercial, political, judicial and religious pursuits in ever greater numbers.
Eventually much economic and judicial business would transfer away from the Forum Romanum to the larger and more extravagant structures (Trajan's Forum and the Basilica Ulpia) to the north. The reign of Constantine the Great saw the construction of the last major expansion of the Forum complex—the Basilica of Maxentius (312 AD). This returned the political center to the Forum until the fall of the Western Roman Empire almost two centuries later.

Das Efeublättrige Ehrenpreis hat hellere, lila gefärbte Blütenblätter mit markanter dunkler Aderung. Die Blattorgane erinnern in der Form an Efeublätter. Beide Pflanzen blühen etwa zur gleichen Zeit im Frühling. Dieses Exemplar war fotografisch schwer zugänglich. Deshalb musste ein Freihandstack durchgeführt werden, der zum Glück erfolgreich war.
