Candles in the Zen (Chan) Buddhist temple (菩提禅寺) in Anting.
The temple is dedicated to the Chan (禅) School of Buddhism, the mainstream of Buddhism in China.
Anting is a town far in the outskirts of Shanghai, nearly in neighbouring Jiangsu Province. The home town of Shanghai Volkswagen.

The Preto river, which rises at the base of Pico do Cristal, forms the Farofa, Sete Pilões and Aurélio waterfalls, on the Minas side.
The Sete Pilões waterfall is close to the Macieira camp and can be accessed by a 210 m / 689 ft long trail. Along its route, there are several practically circular wells with bluish water, which resemble pylons.
Camping at 1,860 m / 6,102 ft of altitude and that can be reached by 3,3 km / 2,05 miles of roads from the entrance of Pedra Menina (Espírito Santo State), being close to the São Domingos River.

“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.”

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
Pyramid Lake is a reservoir formed by Pyramid Dam on Piru Creek in the eastern San Emigdio Mountains, near Castaic, Southern California. It is a part of the West Branch California Aqueduct, which is a part of the California State Water Project. Its water is fed by the system after being pumped up from the San Joaquin Valley and through the Tehachapi Mountains.
In 1843, gold was discovered near what is now Pyramid Lake, in the Santa Feliciana Canyon, just south of what is now Pyramid Dam. The small find failed to trigger a rush to the mountainous countryside. Only Francisco Lopes, owner of Rancho Temescal, a Mexican land grant, and a handful of ranchers attempted to settle the region.
This lake was created in 1972, and completed in 1973, as a holding reservoir for the California State Water Project. The lake was named after a pyramid-shaped rock carved out by engineers building U.S. Route 99. Travelers between Los Angeles and Bakersfield christened the landmark “Pyramid Rock,” which still stands just adjacent to the dam.
Pyramid Lake is the deepest lake in the California Water Project system, built up along the steep canyon walls surrounding Piru Creek.
The 180,000 acre⋅ft (220,000,000 m3) reservoir lies on the border between the Angeles National Forest and the Los Padres National Forest, in the northwestern portion of Los Angeles County. It is to the west of Interstate 5 (I-5) south of Tejon Pass. The former alignment of US 99 is below the waters here, replaced by I-5.
Pyramid Lake seen from the air with the Pacific Ocean in the distance. Just below the dam, Piru Creek returns to its natural state as it winds down through the Topatopa Mountains to feed into the Lake Piru reservoir and later the Santa Clara River. Pumps carry water from Pyramid Lake to Castaic Lake, which is the terminus of the west branch of the aqueduct. Pyramid and Castaic act as the upper and lower reservoirs for a 1,495-megawatt pumped storage hydroelectric plant.
Los estromatolitos poco a poco van enlazando las piedras del río formando figuras como estas.
Estos estromatolitos son estructuras minerales originadas por la actividad metabólica de las cianobacterias presentes en sus aguas.
¿Por qué este río es tan especial para la ciencia?
Durante mucho tiempo las aguas del Tinto se creyeron carentes de vida, hasta el punto de que se plantearon procesos para la limpieza de "su contaminación", que afortunadamente no llegaron a desarrollarse. Y en cierto modo sí que parece un río estéril porque no hay organismos eucariotas superiores en sus aguas; sin embargo, su biodiversidad es enorme: se han descrito más de 1.100 especies distintas de hongos y un centenar de algas, además de protistas y bacterias.
La aparente contaminación del río no es tal, sino que se trata del resultado de un complejo proceso de interacción entre las comunidades bacterianas que lo habitan y el sustrato. Algunas bacterias presentes en el río no obtienen su energía al quemar con oxígeno la glucosa y otros nutrientes como hacemos gran parte de los seres vivos, sino que la obtienen a expensas de los minerales que afloran de la franja pirítica de Huelva.
Por tanto, las condiciones de extrema acidez y de elevadas concentraciones de iones férrico y sulfato en las aguas del Tinto son debidas a la actividad quimiolitotrófica de los microorganismos que lo habitan y que son capaces de oxidar los sulfuros metálicos, en alta concentración en la zona de afloramiento del Tinto.
Lo que hace del Tinto un lugar especial para el estudio de las posibilidades de existencia de vida en Marte es que los seres vivos que lo habitan no han llegado de otros lugares y se han adaptado a este medio tan extremo, sino que han ido evolucionando en el propio río y han ido modulando el medio en el que viven.
El conocimiento de todo esto nos debe llevar a la necesidad de defender la protección de ese ecosistema tan excepcional, por eso es muy lamentable que los vertidos que muy a menudo transforman en los últimos tiempos la coloración de sus aguas (probablemente procedentes del vertedero de residuos tóxicos de Nerva), o la reapertura de la mina estén deteriorándolo muy rápidamente.

The female Eastern Tiger Swallowtail butterfly can take two completely different forms. The more common (at least to me) yellow morph with the black tiger stripes, and this beautiful dark morph. This is the first dark one I have seen this summer.

Titlis is a mountain of the Uri Alps, located on the border between the cantons of Obwalden and Bern. At 3,238 metres (10,623 ft) above sea level, it is the highest summit of the range north of the Susten Pass, between the Bernese Oberland and Central Switzerland.

A beautiful perfect rose from my garden, thought I would do something different with it so put the frame round.

Has visto
verdaderamente has visto
la nieve los astros los pasos afelpados de la brisa
Has tocado
de verdad has tocado
el plato el pan la cara de esa mujer que tanto amás
Has vivido
como un golpe en la frente
el instante el jadeo la caída la fuga
Has sabido
con cada poro de la piel sabido
que tus ojos tus manos tu sexo tu blando corazón
había que tirarlos
había que llorarlos
había que inventarlos otra vez.

Tulips (Tulipa) form a genus of spring-blooming perennial herbaceous bulbiferous geophytes (having bulbs as storage organs). The flowers are usually large, showy and brightly colored, generally red, pink, yellow, or white (usually in warm colors). They often have a different colored blotch at the base of the tepals (petals and sepals, collectively), internally. Tulips originally were found in a band stretching from Southern Europe to Central Asia, but since the seventeenth century have become widely naturalised and cultivated. Flowering in the spring, they become dormant in the summer once the flowers and leaves die back, emerging above ground as a shoot from the underground bulb in early spring. The tulip's flowers are usually large and are actinomorphic (radially symmetric) and hermaphrodite (contain both male (androecium) and female (gynoecium) characteristics), generally erect, or more rarely pendulous, and are arranged more usually as a single terminal flower, or when pluriflor as two to three (e.g. Tulipa turkestanica), but up to four, flowers on the end of a floriferous stem (scape), which is single arising from amongst the basal leaf rosette. 11717
