View towards west from the observation deck of the new Shanghai Tower, currently the tallest building in Shanghai and the second tallest in the world.
This is the big Huangpu River bend, with the Bund, the mouth of Suzhou Creek and the twin towers of the Shanghai IFC in the lower foreground.
I added some notes to identify buildings or other features in the picture, some of these notes contain links.
And, as usual, flickr wrongly assigns "Hongkou" as location name.

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.

The Powder River is a tributary of the Snake River, approximately 153 miles (246 km) long,[2] in northeast Oregon in the United States. It drains an area of the Columbia Plateau on the eastern side of the Blue Mountains. It flows almost entirely within Baker County but downstream of the city of North Powder forms part of the border between Baker County and Union County. The name Powder River is first recorded in the journals of Peter Skene Ogden without notation of the origin of the name. Explorer Donald Mackenzie likely named the river. William C. McKay, grandson of John Jacob Astor's partner Alexander MacKay, says that the origin of the name is from the powdery and sandy soil along the shores of the river, from the Chinook Jargon polalle illahe. It appears on Lewis and Clark's maps as Port-pel-lah.[4]
These cats form part of the decor in a wonderful little spice shop in the town near us.

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.
“Form itself, even if completely abstract ... has its own inner sound.”

Taking a temporary break from images of Germany to bring some local ones taken yesterday.
Mt. St. Helens, which last erupted 36 years ago and is rebuilding itself with a lava dome inside the crater, ( which eventually will form her new top ) and lot of new growth, including an abundance of wildflowers this year.

Chevalier aboyeur (Tringa nebularia)
Cet oiseau mesure 30 à 35 centimètres de longueur pour une masse de 150 à 260 grammes. C’est le chevalier le plus grand des 6 espèces du genre Tringa qui côtoient l’Europe. En été, le ventre et l’intérieur du cou sont blancs, les parties supérieures (dos et cou) sont de couleur gris cendré, présentant des motifs en formes de stries ou d’écailles. Le gris va en s’éclaircissant pour donner une couleur gris pâle au dessus de la tête. Son bec est gris sombre, légèrement arqué vers le haut. Le plumage internuptial (hiver) est proche, bien que l’on n’observe plus la présence de raies grises proches des parties internes du cou et du ventre. On n’observe pas de dimorphisme sexuel sensible. Les juvéniles possèdent un plumage proche de celui des adultes en période internuptiale. En vol, les parties supérieures extérieures des ailes sont gris sombre, les parties intérieures gris clair. Près de la queue, on observe une tâche blanche remontant en pointe vers le dos. Le chevalier aboyeur ressemble à plusieurs autres chevaliers, mais c’est avec le Chevalier stagnatile (Tringa stagnatilis) qu’on peut le confondre le plus souvent. Possédant un plumage équivalent, il est de taille inférieure possède un bec plus fin, et un cri plus aigu.

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,
De todos los animales que pueblan el globo, no existe otro con quien la naturaleza haya parecido ser más cruel, a primera vista, que con el hombre, dadas las innumerables carencias y necesidades de que la naturaleza le ha provisto y los limitados medios que le proporciona para la satisfacción de estas necesidades. Por lo general, en otras criaturas se compensan estos extremos... (...) Sólo en el hombre es posible observar en forma extrema esta conjunción antinatural de necesidad y debilidad.
(Tratado de la naturaleza humana) David Hume
Cumulus: A dense, white, fluffy, flat-based cloud with a multiple rounded top and a well-defined outline, usually formed by the ascent of thermally unstable air masses.

À No-Man's-Land cet événement (qui n'a lieu malheureusement que tous les quatre ans) a pu être célébré comme il se doit en rendant breuvages hommage au drapeau des jeux sous une forme plus traditionnelle en total accord avec les traditions.

Pareidolia is defined as a situation in which someone sees a pattern or image of something that did not exist.
This small sculpture I found on a recent trip intrigued me enough to have an impromptu photo session. I'm so glad I did. The image has seized my imagination, lending itself to stories galore.

Il sentiero che va a Monte della Cavalla si chiama 'sentiero dei narcisi', ma potrebbe anche chiamarsi 'sentiero degli asfodeli', perché ce ne sono molti.
Di fronte una nuvola a forma di cuore. Forse si potrebbero vedere delle piccole ali lateralmente, con un po' di fantasia.
In realtà qualcuno mi ha detto :' Ma dove lo vedi un cuore?'
Molte volte la natura ci parla, ci dà dei segni, con oggetti, figure, forme casuali, in cui il nostro subcosciente riconosce forme note. Penso che vediamo ciò che vogliamo vedere.
A me piace pensare che siano segni che ci rincuorano, ci accompagnano, magari nei momenti di maggiore difficoltà. Sarebbe bello, perché non lasciare nel mistero?
Al ritorno, sul sentiero ho trovato ancora una volta una pietra a forma di cuore ( che magari fotigrafero', perché non ne ho avuto il tempo). Questa volta era leggera, l'ho tenuta.
Il fenomeno con cui si tendono a riconoscere forme note in quello che ci circonda si chiama
παρειδωλια, pareidolia, dal greco : πάρα, parà, che significa vicino, simile ed είδωλον, eidolon, immagine.
Mi conforta sapere che Leonardo, in suo scritto, parlava di questo fenomeno , in cui ci vuole un po' di immaginazione
