Tilya-Kori-Madrasa forms together with two other madrasahs the world famous Registan in Samarkand, Uzbekistan. It was built 1646-1660 and while in Ulugh Bek you find many souvenir shops, here you find resplendent fairytale ceiling work.
Zusammen mit zwei weiteren Medresen gehört Tilya-Kori-Madrasa zum weltberühmten Registan in Samarkand, Usbekistan. Sie wurde in den Jahren 1646 bis 1660 erbaut. Während in Ulugh Bek viele kleine Souvenirläden zu finden sind, findet man hier farbenfrohe prächtige Deckenkunst, die einen an Märchen erinnert.

when i downloaded this image from my camera i knew instantly that i needed to convert it to black & white with just a bit of tint. to me i can better appreciate this flower's beautiful form, its graceful lines and subtle textures, without the distraction of colors.

During sunset, a cloud flew in in an amazing shape (a bird, a dragon, and maybe an angel ...)
A little understanding of the physics of cloud formation underscores the complexity of the atmosphere and sheds light on why predicting weather for more than a few days is such a challenge.
Six types of clouds you can see and how they can help you understand the weather.
1) Cumulus clouds - On a sunny day, rays warm the earth, which heats the air located directly above it. The heated air rises upward due to convection and forms cumulus clouds. These “good weather” clouds are like cotton wool. If you look at the sky filled with cumulus clouds, you can see that they have a flat bottom, located at the same level for all clouds. At this altitude, air rising from ground level cools down to the dew point. It usually doesn't rain from cumulus clouds, which means the weather will be good.
2) Cumulonimbus clouds.
Small cumulus clouds do not rain, but if they grow and grow in height, it is a sign that heavy rain is coming soon. This often happens in summer when morning cumulus clouds turn into cumulonimbus during the day. Cumulonimbus clouds often have a flat top. Air convection occurs inside such a cloud, and it gradually cools until it reaches the temperature of the surrounding atmosphere. At this moment, it loses its buoyancy and can no longer rise higher. Instead, it spreads out to the sides, forming the characteristic anvil shape.
3) Cirrus clouds form in very high layers of the atmosphere. They are smoky because they are composed entirely of ice crystals falling in the atmosphere. When cirrus clouds are carried by winds moving at different speeds, they take on a characteristic curved shape. And only at very high altitudes or at high latitudes, cirrus clouds give out rain that reaches the ground.
4) Stratus Clouds - A low-lying, continuous cloud sheet that covers the sky. Stratus clouds are formed by slowly rising air or gentle winds that cover the cold land or sea surface with moist air. Stratus clouds are thin, therefore, despite the gloomy picture, it is unlikely to rain from them, a little drizzle at most. Stratus clouds are identical to fog, so if you've ever walked in a mountainous area on a foggy day, you've been inside a cloud.
5) Lenticular clouds. Smooth and lenticular lenticular clouds form when air is blown up and over a mountain range, and as it travels over a mountain, the air descends to its previous level. At this time, it heats up and the cloud evaporates. But it can slip further, as a result of which the air rises again and forms another lenticular cloud. This can result in a chain of clouds extending far beyond the mountain range. The interaction of wind with mountains and other surface features is one of the many details that must be taken into account in computer simulations to obtain accurate weather predictions.
6) Kelvin - Helmholtz like a breaking ocean wave. When air masses at different heights move horizontally at different speeds, their state becomes unstable. The boundary between the air masses begins to ripple and form large waves, such clouds are quite rare.

Formado por 2.711 bloques de hormigón de diferentes alturas, el Monumento al Holocausto de Berlín es una joya arquitectónica construida en memoria de los judíos asesinados en Europa que recuerda uno de los episodios más oscuros de la humanidad.
Edificado en las cercanías de la Puerta de Brandenburgo entre los años 2003 y 2005, el monumento en memoria de los judíos asesinados en Europa pretende enfrentarse a la noción de monumento en sí misma. La traducción literal del nombre alemán es "Monumento memorial a los judíos asesinados en Europa".
Se trata de una cuadrícula formada por 2.711 bloques de hormigón de diferentes alturas, que permite que los visitantes elijan su camino de entrada y salida como si se tratara de un laberinto.

“Form is emptiness, emptiness is form" states the Heart Sutra, one of the best known ancient Buddhist texts. The essence of all things is emptiness.”
Quote ― Eckhart Tolle, The Power of Now: A Guide to Spiritual Enlightenment
Female Albino Sulphur - my insect book says the females can be greenish white and males are yellow; this one was white when the wings were open with beautiful color on the edges. Females sometimes exhibit a white form known as 'Alba'.
Ama. Si no puedes amar mucho, no enseñes a niños.
2. Simplifica. Saber es simplificar sin quitar esencia.
3. Insiste. Repite como la naturaleza repite las especies hasta alcanzar la perfección.
4. Enseña con intención de hermosura, porque la hermosura es madre.
5. Maestro, sé fervoroso. Para encender lámparas basta llevar fuego en el corazón.
6. Vivifica tu clase. Cada lección ha de ser viva como un ser.
7. Acuérdate de que tu oficio no es mercancía sino oficio divino.
8. Acuérdate. Para dar hay que tener mucho.
9. Antes de dictar tu lección cotidiana mira a tu corazón y ve si está puro.
10. Piensa en que Dios se ha puesto a crear el mundo de mañana.
Gabriela Mistral - Decálogo del Maestro
La pastora de Ipiñaburu (Zeanuri) Puy Arrieta y esposa del pastor Jon Etxebarria volvió a subir con su rebaño a las verdes campas de Aldaminazpi, en Gorbeia. Será en esos parajes donde residirá el rebaño hasta finales de octubre, siguiendo la tradición de la trashumancia, que esta pareja mantiene viva en el valle desde hace unos cuantos años. Aprovechando la circunstancia, el grupo Ipiñaburuko Artzain Taldea ha vuelto a organizar una excursión para acompañar a la pastora hasta la residencia de verano de este rebaño numeroso. La comitiva partió a las 9.00 horas desde la cuadra de Ipiñaburu para al de unas horas llegar a Aldaminazpi.
Tres horas más tarde, pasado el mediodía, la expedición encabezada por las ovejas habrá llegado a las campas de Aldaminazpi. Será tiempo para comer un hamaiketako después de una mañana pasada por un sirimiri constante. La comitiva estuvo formada por jóvenes y adultos que disfrutaron de una mañana excelente en un lugar de encanto como es el parque natural de Gorbeia.
En esta imagen Puy saluda a los vecinos de Lambreabe al paso del rebaño por esa barriada de Zeanuri.

Red Squirrel - Sciurus Vulgaris
Highlands, Scotland.
The red squirrel is found in both coniferous forest and temperate broadleaf woodlands. The squirrel makes a drey (nest) out of twigs in a branch-fork, forming a domed structure about 25 to 30 cm in diameter. This is lined with moss, leaves, grass and bark. Tree hollows and woodpecker holes are also used. The red squirrel is a solitary animal and is shy and reluctant to share food with others. However, outside the breeding season and particularly in winter, several red squirrels may share a drey to keep warm. Social organization is based on dominance hierarchies within and between sexes; although males are not necessarily dominant to females, the dominant animals tend to be larger and older than subordinate animals, and dominant males tend to have larger home ranges than subordinate males or females.
Red squirrels that survive their first winter have a life expectancy of 3 years. Individuals may reach 7 years of age, and 10 in captivity. Survival is positively related to availability of autumn–winter tree seeds; on average, 75–85% of juveniles die during their first winter, and mortality is approximately 50% for winters following the first.
Although not thought to be under any threat worldwide, the red squirrel has nevertheless drastically reduced in number in the United Kingdom; especially after the grey squirrels were introduced from North America in the 1870s. Fewer than 140,000 individuals are thought to be left in 2013; approximately 85% of which are in Scotland, with the Isle of Wight being the largest haven in England. A local charity, the Wight Squirrel Project,[26] supports red squirrel conservation on the island, and islanders are actively recommended to report any invasive greys. The population decrease in Britain is often ascribed to the introduction of the eastern grey squirrel from North America, but the loss and fragmentation of its native woodland habitat has also played a role.
In January 1998, eradication of the non-native North American grey squirrel began on the North Wales island of Anglesey. This facilitated the natural recovery of the small remnant red squirrel population. It was followed by the successful reintroduction of the red squirrel into the pine stands of Newborough Forest. Subsequent reintroductions into broadleaved woodland followed and today the island has the single largest red squirrel population in Wales. Brownsea Island in Poole Harbour is also populated exclusively by red rather than grey squirrels (approximately 200 individuals).
A woody perennial flowering plant of the genus Rosa, in the family Rosaceae. There are over three hundred species and thousands of cultivars. They form a group of plants that can be erect shrubs, climbing, or trailing, with stems that are often armed with sharp prickles. Flowers vary in size and shape and are usually large and showy, in colours ranging from white through yellows and reds. Most species are native to Asia, with smaller numbers native to Europe, North America, and northwestern Africa. Species, cultivars and hybrids are all widely grown for their beauty and often are fragrant. Roses have acquired cultural significance in many societies. Rose plants range in size from compact, miniature roses, to climbers that can reach seven meters in height. Different species hybridize easily, and this has been used in the development of the wide range of garden roses. 21981

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 ..... ..

View form Trail Ridge Road (highest continuous paved road in the US reaching elevation of 12,183 feet), Rocky Mountain National Park, Colorado. Driving on this road is little nerve wrecking, but in the end rewarded by breathtaking scenery. Changing elevation takes you from tree lines to alpine tundra which has very fragile ecosystem. Weather up top is ever changing and highly unpredictable.
