Supongo que este lema, no es un tópico al uso publicitario ... Tiene unas certeras bases ya que en la realidad ,desde el aire la isla de Bora Bora Parece una ostra con su perla en el centro...O será porque lo más valioso, monetariamente hablando , es el cultivo de la perla negra.
Capricho apto para pocos bolsillos. Este atolón coralino de forma acorazonada tiene los cielos que pintó Gauguin y siempre aparece un arco iris, en algún momento del día ...o en varios.. , aunque sea pequeño e imperceptible como es en este caso. Se pueden observar en la obra del pintor, los elementos del folclore de la isla, las cosas que veía, intentando ir más allá de ellas. Su paleta se enriqueció con colores puros y cálidos creando un vocabulario personal y un estilo lleno de simbolismo y gran fuerza expresiva tal como la Polinesia misma!
If you are familiar with the flowering tree called a dogwood, you might be surprised to learn this fact. What you are looking at is the true flower on a dogwood tree. The white petals of the dogwood flower are actually leaf-like growths called bracts rather than true petals. The actual flowers are in the cluster at the center of the dogwood bloom.

Sure, Jagger and Richards formed a rock band, The Game of Thrones, which performed at Buckingham Palace, where Mona Lisa had rented a room, the daily rate was a bargain. Well, her charm soon put the boys under her feet and Mona became the lead singer of the band.
All was fine till Darth Vader decides to enter as lead guitarist. Gosh! His terrible riffs were real squeaky. Once, they were performing at Westminster Abbey, but fast the ghost from Richard the Lionheart put everyone out, he was unable to sleep with that noise.
We suspect it was Rasputin who slipped LSD into afternoon tea.
The result : everybody experienced !!!
Lots of crazy nights with sex, afternoon tea and Rock&Roll.
The Stones.....I mean....The Rolling of Thrones were at the top, Leonardo was designing covers for the rock bands, doing graffiti Art around the royal palaces. And afternoon tea, for sure.
Ooooops ! Were was Mona ? Mona was bored of bad boys and afternoon tea, she went to make a Netflix series with Tom Cruise.
Depressed, Jagger left the band, and converted to Judaism.
And there was the unforgettable and crazy episode with Batman. But I can't remember, because I also had afternoon tea enough.
Well, I don't know about you, but I'm exhausted. Even so, it's normal that at this point, and looking at Mona's photo above, you ask me: who the hell is the child's father ?
Blick auf den Seekopf (2698 m) am Lünersee im Rätikon
Der auf knapp 2.000 Meter Höhe gelegene See war einst der größte natürliche Bergsee in den Ostalpen. Durch den Bau eines Staudamms vergrößerte sich 1959 die Seefläche beträchtlich. Der See gilt als das "türkisblaue Juwel des Rätikon". 2019 wurde er im Rahmen der Fernsehsendung "9 Plätze – 9 Schätze" zum schönsten Platz in Österreich gewählt.

Well... It looks like a Common Candy-striped spider, but seems to lack the dark terminal ring on the first tibia, So it may be some other Comb-footed Spider like Enoplognatha latimana - redimita form.
But it seems from the little bit of research I've done, the redimita form Enoplognatha ovata lack that dark terminal ring... All very confusing.

The sedimentary rocks formed in the Upper Cretaceous that occur in the region of Torotoro, Bolivia, belong to the El Molino Formation, which can be divided into three members due to their distinct lithologic characteristics. The lower member consists of carbonate rocks, the intermediate member by siliciclastic and mixed rocks, and the upper, by carbonate rocks. These association of rocks occur as the upper strata of the Torotoro Syncline, a 45 km long and 9.5 km wide feature well preserved in the dynamic of Andean tectonic.

Cómo se forman los azulejos
La edad geológica de Gran Canaria se estima en unos 14,6 millones de años mientras que los Azulejos de Veneguera tienen una edad aproximada de 13 millones de años. Los azulejos representan alteraciones hidrotermales que se producen cuando el agua subterránea procedente de la lluvia alcanza las raíces de un volcán activo.
Se trata de zonas que estuvieron próximas a fracturas o conductos por los que circulaban gases volcánicos y aguas termales en contacto con rocas calientes o intrusiones de magma. Estos contactos son los responsables de diversidad de minerales como son la allita, la clorita, la epidota y la caolinita que tiñen la montaña de colores azules, verdes y celestes.
Formen, die nach Musik aussehen,
aber nur Stille halten.
Luft bewegt sich trotzdem –
und unser Kopf macht den Rest.
This primeval scene is beside the Natchez Trace Parkway at mile 122, east of Canton, Mississippi. The National Park Service has provided a nice boardwalk to help the visitor experience this silent and gloomy place. In the lower right a few cypress knees can be seen protruding upward out of the water.
A cypress knee is a distinctive structure forming above the roots of a cypress tree of any of various species of the subfamily Taxodioideae. Their function is unknown, but they are generally seen on trees growing in swamps. Some current hypotheses state that they might help to aerate the tree's roots, create a barrier to catch sediment and reduce erosion, assist in anchoring the tree in the soft and muddy soil, or any combination thereof. (Source: Wikipedia)
Many years ago, the Pearl River flowed here but then changed course. A shallow area was created by the deposition of sediments as the river retreated. During periodic low water, seedlings of water-tolerant cypress and tupelo trees gained a foothold. The trees you see today are a result. Water tupelo and bald cypress trees can live in deep water for long periods. After taking root in the summer when the swamp is nearly dry, the seedlings can stay alive in water deep enough to kill other plants. (Source: www.nps.gov/places/cypress-swamp.htm)

This was in a historical home in Lowell, MI. Several of the homes were open for visitors during the Fallasburg Village Celebration.
In France we say: "La fonction fait la forme". Here, one could say: "The form generates the function".
Cette place forme le cœur de la vieille ville de Francfort-sur-le-Main (Frankfurt am Main), Land de Hesse en Allemagne.
Le Römerberg (littéralement: le « mont des Romains ») occupe l'emplacement approximatif de la ville romaine, bâtie au cours du Ier siècle après Jésus-Christ. Ce qui explique son nom. Depuis le Moyen Âge, le Römerberg accueille de nombreuses foires, ainsi que le marché de Noël (Weihnachtsmarkt) durant les 4 semaines de l'Avent. Désormais, il est aussi un lieu de spectacles extérieurs.
On a ici une vue panoramique de l'ensemble de maisons à colombages appelé Ostzeile. Cet ensemble de maisons historiques ferme à l’est la place Römerberg. Sur la place, se dresse la Gerechtigkeitsbrunnen (fontaine de la Justice) datant de 1543 car elle est surmontée d'une statue de la Justice due à Philipp Uffenbach.
À l’est, en retrait, on distingue aussi la tour de la Kaiserdom St. Bartholomäus (en travaux) édifiée sur Domplatz entre le 13e et le 15e siècle sur l'emplacement d'une construction carolingienne. L'élection des empereurs (dès 1356), puis leur couronnement (à partir de 1562) eurent lieu dans cette église, ce qui lui valut l'appellation de cathédrale Saint-Barthélemy de Francfort.
À droite de la photo, on distingue par ailleurs la Nikolaikirche (13e siècle) qui limite au sud la place Römerberg.
Sur cette place, il y a aussi (pas visible sur cette photo) de nombreux immeubles des 14e au 18e siècle qui comprend à l'ouest, la maison Zum Römer, l'ancien hôtel de ville, dont la façade présente une horloge et est surmonté d’un clocheton, installé dans un bloc disparate de 3 maisons bourgeoises du Moyen Âge au pignon en escalier.
La présence de nombreux gratte-ciels a valu à Francfort-sur-le-Main le surnom de Mainhattan ou Chicago-sur-le-Main. Avec près d’un habitant sur trois n’ayant pas la nationalité allemande, Francfort est sans conteste la ville la plus internationale du pays. La ville de Goethe peut ainsi s’enorgueillir d’un brassage unique de cultures et de langues du monde. Capitale financière et commerciale de l’Allemagne, Francfort est aussi un important pôle scientifique et culturel, avec ses instituts de recherche, son université, son opéra, ses théâtres et un nombre sans cesse croissant de musées.
Pato Espinoso, Ruddy Duck (Oxyura jamaicensis)
El pato zambullidor grande (Oxyura jamaicensis), también conocido como malvasía canela, pato tepalcate (en México) o pato rufo, es una especie de ave anseriforme de la familia Anatidae natural de América. Su distribución natural comprende desde Alaska hasta Tierra del Fuego.
Su hábitat de la cría son lagos pantanosos y estanques a lo largo de casi toda de América del Norte. Anidan en la vegetación densa del pantano cerca del agua. Las parejas se forman cada año. Son migratorios e invernales en las bahías costeras y lagos descongelados y estanques.
Estos patos bucean y nadan. comen las semillas y raíces de plantas acuáticas, insectos acuáticos y crustáceos principalmente.

" Symbolisme : La forme dure et épineuse du chardon bleu représente la force, la résilience et l'endurance. Il symbolise également l'indépendance, la régénération et la transformation. "
Each rhododendron bloom is a gathered colony of small, near-identical flowers—delicate, deliberate, and designed to draw in early summer’s pollinators. Their symmetry has both function and grace.

Fraser Valley
British Columbia
Canada
The Fraser River is the longest river within British Columbia, Canada, rising at Fraser Pass near Blackrock Mountain in the Rocky Mountains and flowing for 1,375 kilometres (854 mi), into the Strait of Georgia just south of the City of Vancouver. The river's annual discharge at its mouth is 112 cubic kilometres (27 cu mi) or 3,550 cubic metres per second (125,000 cu ft/s), and each year it discharges about 20 million tons of sediment into the ocean.
The river is named after Simon Fraser, who led an expedition in 1808 on behalf of the North West Company.

Sastrugi
Sastrugi, or zastrugi, are features formed by erosion of snow by wind. They are found in polar regions, and in snowy, wind-swept areas of temperate regions, such as frozen lakes or mountain ridges. Sastrugi are distinguished by upwind-facing points, resembling anvils, which move downwind as the surface erodes. These points usually lie along ridges parallel to the prevailing wind; they are steep on the windward side and sloping to the leeward side. Smaller irregularities of this type are known as ripples (small, ~10 mm high) or wind ridges.
Large sastrugi are troublesome to skiers and snowboarders. Traveling on the irregular surface of sastrugi can be very tiring, and can risk breaking equipment—ripples and waves are often undercut and the surface is hard and unforgiving, with constant minor topographic changes between ridge and trough.
Etymology
The words sastrugi and zastrugi are Russian-language plurals; the singular is zastruga. The form sastruga started as the German-language transliteration of the Russian word заструга (plural: заструги).
A Latin-type analogical singular sastrugus is used in various writings on exploration of the South Pole, including Robert Falcon Scott's expedition's diaries and Ernest Shackleton's The Heart of the Antarctic.
Formation mechanism
White and black colors on sastrugi are not lights and shadows, they demonstrate difference in radioreflectivity of snow deposits on the windward and leeward sides of a sastruga.
Under the action of steady wind, free snow particles accumulate and drift like the sand grains in barchan dunes, and the resulting drifting snow shapes are also popularly referred to as barchans. Inuit of Canada call them kalutoqaniq. When winds slacken, the drifted formations consolidate via sublimation and recrystallization. Subsequent winds erode kalutoqaniq into the sculptured forms of sastrugi. Inuit call large sculpturings kaioqlaq and small ripples tumarinyiq. Further erosion may turn kaioqlaq back into drifting kalutoqaniq. An intermediate stage of erosion is mapsuk, an overhanging shape. On the windward side of a ridge, the base erodes faster than the top, producing a shape like an anvil tip pointing upwind.
On sea ice
Sastrugi are more likely to form on first-year sea ice than on multiyear ice. First-year ice is smoother than multiyear ice, which allows the wind to pass uniformly over the surface without topographic obstructions. Except during the melt season, snow is dry and light in climates cold enough for sea ice, allowing the snow to be easily blown and create sastrugi parallel to the wind direction. The locations of sastrugi are fixed by March in the northern hemisphere and may be linked to the formation of melt ponds. Melt ponds are more likely to form in the depressions between sastrugi on first-year ice.

Walnut Street Bridge, Chattanooga, Tennessee. This amazing structure serves as one of the premier pedestrian walking bridges in the country. It spans the Tennessee River connecting the Hunter Museum with Coolidge Park. I caught this image very early in the morning just after a rainstorm. The steel, water, lights, wood, and sky blend together to form an interesting composition around this amazing bridge. Architexturefotos - building stories one frame at a time!
