This week’s picture shows spectacular ribbons of gas and dust wrapping around the pearly centre of the barred spiral galaxy NGC 1398. This galaxy is located in the constellation of Fornax (The Furnace), approximately 65 million light-years away. Rather than beginning at the very middle of the galaxy and swirling outwards, NGC 1398’s graceful spiral arms stem from a straight bar, formed of stars, that cuts through the galaxy’s central region. Most spiral galaxies — around two thirds — are observed to have this feature, but it’s not yet clear whether or how these bars affect a galaxy’s behaviour and development. This image comprises data gathered by the FOcal Reducer/low dispersion Spectrograph 2 (FORS2) instrument, mounted on ESO’s Very Large Telescope (VLT) at Paranal Observatory, Chile. It shows NGC 1398 in striking detail, from the dark lanes of dust mottling its spiral arms, through to the pink-hued star-forming regions sprinkled throughout its outer regions. This image was created as part of the ESO Cosmic Gems programme, an outreach initiative to produce images of interesting, intriguing or visually attractive objects using ESO telescopes, for the purposes of education and public outreach. The programme makes use of telescope time that cannot be used for science observations. All data collected may also be suitable for scientific purposes, and are made available to astronomers through ESO’s science archive.

The Willows at Willow Grove Day Camp is a camp for 3 and 4 year old children. This unique camp experience offers your child an early opportunity to learn and socialize with children their own age.
During the first week of camp, lots of fun was had as the children and counselors got to know each other. “Sun and Surf” was our first week theme. The children really enjoyed decorating their bucket and shovel memo pads during Arts and Crafts. Along with this activity, the Polar Bears and Penguins enthusiastically participated in Nature, Gymnastics, Dance, Tennis and Soccer. We are looking forward to the next seven weeks of fun-filled activities.
Willow Grove Day Camp provides summer fun for kids who live in Willow Grove, Abington, Blue Bell, Hatboro, Horsham, Huntingdon Valley, Lafayette Hill, Philadelphia, Plymouth Meeting, Southampton and the surrounding areas. For more information on the Willows and Willow Grove Day Camp please visit: willowgrovedaycamp.com/willows.html

Soonest Mended
BY JOHN ASHBERY
Barely tolerated, living on the margin
In our technological society, we were always having to be rescued
On the brink of destruction, like heroines in Orlando Furioso
Before it was time to start all over again.
There would be thunder in the bushes, a rustling of coils,
And Angelica, in the Ingres painting, was considering
The colorful but small monster near her toe, as though wondering whether forgetting
The whole thing might not, in the end, be the only solution.
And then there always came a time when
Happy Hooligan in his rusted green automobile
Came plowing down the course, just to make sure everything was O.K.,
Only by that time we were in another chapter and confused
About how to receive this latest piece of information.
Was it information? Weren’t we rather acting this out
For someone else’s benefit, thoughts in a mind
With room enough and to spare for our little problems (so they began to seem),
Our daily quandary about food and the rent and bills to be paid?
To reduce all this to a small variant,
To step free at last, minuscule on the gigantic plateau—
This was our ambition: to be small and clear and free.
Alas, the summer’s energy wanes quickly,
A moment and it is gone. And no longer
May we make the necessary arrangements, simple as they are.
Our star was brighter perhaps when it had water in it.
Now there is no question even of that, but only
Of holding on to the hard earth so as not to get thrown off,
With an occasional dream, a vision: a robin flies across
The upper corner of the window, you brush your hair away
And cannot quite see, or a wound will flash
Against the sweet faces of the others, something like:
This is what you wanted to hear, so why
Did you think of listening to something else? We are all talkers
It is true, but underneath the talk lies
The moving and not wanting to be moved, the loose
Meaning, untidy and simple like a threshing floor.
These then were some hazards of the course,
Yet though we knew the course was hazards and nothing else
It was still a shock when, almost a quarter of a century later,
The clarity of the rules dawned on you for the first time.
They were the players, and we who had struggled at the game
Were merely spectators, though subject to its vicissitudes
And moving with it out of the tearful stadium, borne on shoulders, at last.
Night after night this message returns, repeated
In the flickering bulbs of the sky, raised past us, taken away from us,
Yet ours over and over until the end that is past truth,
The being of our sentences, in the climate that fostered them,
Not ours to own, like a book, but to be with, and sometimes
To be without, alone and desperate.
But the fantasy makes it ours, a kind of fence-sitting
Raised to the level of an esthetic ideal. These were moments, years,
Solid with reality, faces, namable events, kisses, heroic acts,
But like the friendly beginning of a geometrical progression
Not too reassuring, as though meaning could be cast aside some day
When it had been outgrown. Better, you said, to stay cowering
Like this in the early lessons, since the promise of learning
Is a delusion, and I agreed, adding that
Tomorrow would alter the sense of what had already been learned,
That the learning process is extended in this way, so that from this standpoint
None of us ever graduates from college,
For time is an emulsion, and probably thinking not to grow up
Is the brightest kind of maturity for us, right now at any rate.
And you see, both of us were right, though nothing
Has somehow come to nothing; the avatars
Of our conforming to the rules and living
Around the home have made—well, in a sense, “good citizens” of us,
Brushing the teeth and all that, and learning to accept
The charity of the hard moments as they are doled out,
For this is action, this not being sure, this careless
Preparing, sowing the seeds crooked in the furrow,
Making ready to forget, and always coming back
To the mooring of starting out, that day so long ago.

Música cristiana 2020 | Entrega tu corazón ante Dios si crees en Él
I
Como crees en Dios, debes entregar tu corazón delante de Dios.
Si ofreces y pones tu corazón delante de Dios,
entonces durante el refinamiento va a ser imposible
que niegues a Dios o que dejes a Dios.
De esta manera tu relación con Dios
se hará todavía más cercana y más normal
y tu comunión con Dios se hará aún más frecuente.
Si siempre practicas de esta manera,
entonces vas a pasar más tiempo a la luz de Dios
y más tiempo bajo la guía de Sus palabras,
también habrá más y más cambios en tu carácter
y tu conocimiento aumentará día con día.
II
Cuando el día venga y las pruebas de Dios de repente caigan sobre ti,
no solo podrás permanecer al lado de Dios
sino que también podrás dar testimonio de Dios.
En ese momento vas a ser como Job y Pedro.
En ese momento vas a ser como Job y Pedro.
Después de haber dado testimonio de Dios, en verdad lo vas a amar
y con gusto vas a dar tu vida por Él;
vas a ser testigo de Dios
y alguien a quien Dios ama.
El amor que ha experimentado el refinamiento es fuerte y no débil.
Independientemente de cuándo o cómo Dios te someta a Sus pruebas,
no te preocupa si vives o mueres,
no te preocupa si vives o mueres,
con gusto desechas todo por Dios
y todo lo aguantas contento por Dios,
y de esta manera tu amor será puro y tu fe real.
Solo entonces serás alguien a quien Dios verdaderamente ama
y a quien Dios verdaderamente ha perfeccionado.
De “Seguir al Cordero y cantar nuevos cánticos”

Today I visited Strokestown House, Co. Roscommon.
I had planned an exterior shoot of the Strokestown area for a particular project and left blue sky in Boyle. However, half way to Strokestown, the cloud decended and bleached my beautiful sky! My proposed shots needed a rich blue sky - not gonna happen today. Rather than be content with a wasted journey, I thought on my feet and put some energy into an interior project instead, this turned out to be Strokestown House.
If you have not yet visited this place - you should. I found the staff extremely helpful and accommodating. I am grateful to Catherine, John and Ronan for their help. I was allowed to photograph as much as I pleased in all public-access areas. I didn't go mad though, I focused on 'light illuminating the interior'. It took me almost two hours to take eight shots.
Interiors can be difficult to shoot if you wish to convey the natural beauty of window light. Straight off - it is next to impossible to achieve without multiple exposures.
I usually spend a bit of time looking first, camera hand held - standing, eye-level, squat, even sometimes lie on the floor. What lens to use. Get it right in the frame, verticals/horizontals - are they parallel to the edges of the frame, what is the subject here ... details.
Once I've found my spot, I get the tripod and compose the shot, I have no problem (where possible) moving objects to different positions within the frame to get what I want. Then its camera settings. I always shoot in RAW.
For this shot; ISO 100. White Balance Cloudy (there was zero colour adjustment made to this image during processing). Aperture set to f/16 for sharpness all the way through. For the lens I was using (Nikkor 17-55mm 2.8G) I find best performance at f/16 or 18 aperture not at f/22 as you might expect. I used a cable release and set the camera 'mirror-lock to 'up' position to avoid camera shake. Finally, I experiment with shutter speed settings to determine the exposure for Highlights (so as to retain detail in the bright window) - 0.6seconds. I subsequently took three more exposures to cover mid-tones and shadows - 1.6, 3.0 and 5.0 seconds. Bang, bang, bang. Ya, ya, I know, sounds painful but believe me, if you want to learn about your camera you need to experiment. If you don't want to spend ages fixing mistakes in Photoshop, try getting in right in the camera as much as possible.
In CS2, the RAW files were processed for tone and contrast only. Layers were blended and the image finished with a mild touch of sharpening using a high-pass filter.

On all our tours I encourage our guests to also shoot verticals, not only horizontals. Magazines for instance, are all based on verticals, so if you ever want your picture to grace the cover or to be published on a full page, you'll need to shoot verticals as well.
A little while back I got an email from British Airways, asking whether I had a vertical version of my famous picture The Edge, of an elephant at Victoria Falls. And as a matter of fact I did, I just never processed it. When I started processing the image, I wondered why I hadn't done it earlier - the vertical version seems to make more sense because you can actually see the height of the falls and you can see all the water falling down.
Anyway, British Airways published the shot and I was happy they had given me a good reason to dive into my image library again.
Here's the background story that I wrote for the horizontal version:
-
It's hard enough to make original pictures, but with some subjects it simply borders the impossible.
When I was at Victoria Falls last year, I thought about the billions of photographs that must have been taken there, and I almost decided to just visit the place without my camera. That was until I spoke with some of the local people, who told me that they had seen a bull elephant crossing the Zambezi river the day before. During my research I had not seen any images of the falls with an elephant in it, so I decided to stay a few extra days and try my luck.
The course of the Zambezi is dotted with numerous tree-covered islands, which increase in number as the river approaches the falls. As the dry season takes effect, the islets on the crest become wider and more numerous, and with the water level of the Zambezi dropping, once submerged walkways and fresh foraging possibilities present themselves. This elephant was apparently aware of this.
On the third day I left very early with a small boat to reach my location. On my way to the edge I suddenly saw the lone bull wading through shallow parts of the river, but it was far away and light levels were low, so I decided to continue to the falls. I took some sunrise shots and half an hour later I saw the elephant approaching the falls. I quickly collected my gear and moved carefully towards the edge where the water plummeted into a 360ft chasm - not particularly nice when you're afraid of heights... I set everything up in order to include as much as possible of the falls and made a composition. Luckily the elephant was aware of my preference to shoot into the light, so his position couldn't be better.
After I took the shots, I knew I had just witnessed and captured something very special. Later that day local people confirmed this by telling me that they had never seen an elephant so close to the edge of the falls before - exactly what I wanted to hear!
This image was featured as a double page spread in National Geographic, and won First Prize in the European Wildlife Photographer of the Year Awards.

Dios dice: “Yo he pronunciado estas palabras: Yo significo lo que digo, y lo que significo se logrará, y nadie puede cambiar esto; es algo absoluto. Sea lo que he expresado en el pasado o lo que diga en el futuro, todo se realizará, y toda la humanidad lo verá. Este es el principio subyacente a la obra de Mis palabras. [...] De todo lo que acontece en el universo, no hay nada en lo que Yo no tenga la última palabra. ¿Qué existe que no esté en Mis manos? Todo lo que Yo digo es ley, y entre los hombres, ¿quién hay que pueda cambiar Mi mente? ¿Podría ser el pacto que Yo hice en la tierra? Nada puede obstaculizar Mi plan; Yo estoy siempre presente en Mi obra, así como en el plan de Mi gestión. ¿En qué puede interferir el hombre? ¿No soy Yo quien ha hecho personalmente estas disposiciones? Al entrar en esta situación hoy, todo sigue sin desviarse de Mi plan o de lo que predije; Yo lo determiné todo hace mucho. ¿Quién de entre vosotros puede comprender Mi plan para este paso? Mi pueblo escuchará Mi voz, y todos y cada uno de los que me aman realmente regresarán ante Mi trono”.

Viajamos a través de Europa 8000 Km. Con un carro tirado por dos caballos, desde el Lago de Constanza a través de Francia y a lo largo de la costa mediterránea española hasta la punta sur de Europa. Sigue la vuelta por Portugal, España, Francia, Bélgica, Holanda, pasando por Berlín de nuevo hacía el Lago de Constanza donde termina nuestra ruta.
Un largo viaje, no sólo para nosotros si no también para nuestros dos caballos “Irish cob”.
Sin embargo, no es un viaje de placer, tampoco un viaje de aventura vacacional a través del soleado sur. A lo largo de nuestra ruta visitamos a agricultores y pasamos la noche en nuestro carro en las granjas. En colaboración con renombradas Organizaciones para el Medioambiente e internacionalmente reconocidos Investigadores queremos enterarnos mejor de la situación actual de la Agricultura en Europa. En lo referente al cultivo industrial, a la producción biológica, a la UE y la política agraria.
Especialmente lo referente a la Técnica Genética.
Los alimentos es fundamento de nuestra vida. No por casualidad se dice “se es lo que se come”. ¿No vivimos hoy y aquí tiempos prodigiosos? Todo el año podemos comprar tomates frescos y crujientes pimientos en el supermercado.
Las estanterías están siempre llenas, para comer hay más que suficiente. Realmente vivimos en tiempos prodigiosos.
Sin embargo, el precio que pagamos por ello es muy alto. Para poder ofrecer una gran gama de verduras y frutas por un módico precio todo el año los agricultores tienen que utilizar métodos de producción cada vez más refinados. La producción de alimentos se ha convertido en una técnica refinada de producción industrial, que abarca todos los campos de la cosecha, pasando por la lucha contra las plagas hasta la de cada una de las semillas.
Y sin esa Industria sería inimaginable una forma tan intensa de agricultura. Para acelerar lo más rápida y económicamente posible la producción, son utilizados una gran cantidad de pesticidas y abonos artificiales. A costa de la calidad del agua y de nuestra salud.
Y un próximo paso será la transformación de la naturaleza.
Para ahorrar los costes de pesticida, las primeras generaciones de plantas transformadas genéticamente recibieron su propia licencia para la producción de veneno: un bacilo genético que se incorpora al genoma del maíz. Ciertamente el veneno producido por el así llamado Maíz-BT mataba también a las mariposas, pero debía ser absolutamente inofensivo para las personas.
Los nuevos productos que salen de los laboratorios de investigación van más allá. Genes de Pez en fresas, genoma humano combinado con DNS de Cerdo. La fantasía puede trabajar sin límites.
Lamentablemente también la práctica puede ser ilimitada. Pues, lo que aquí suena como ciencia ficción hace tiempo que es realidad. Muchos de estos productos alimentarios llegan hoy, sin etiqueta de calificación, a nuestros platos: A un filete no se le ve si fue alimentado con maíz genéticamente transformado.
Y si esto sigue así como en los últimos años, entonces no será necesario requerir la etiqueta en los productos genéticamente transformados: las plantas artificiales de los laboratorios químicos se habrán mezclado de tal forma con nuestras plantas naturales, entre otras vías a través de la polinización, que en el futuro nadie podrá decir con certeza si el desayuno viene o no del laboratorio.
Y así queda patentado. Las substancias en nuestras cocinas son un experimento de las grandes empresas químicas. „Se es lo que se come“. ¿Queremos ser así?
Cada paso que damos en dirección de alimentos diseñados por la técnica genética, no tiene vuelta posible. Una vez que a la naturaleza se le ha dado estas semillas se quedan en ella para siempre y siguen creciendo y multiplicándose.
Si queremos hacer algo en contra, entonces hoy, aquí y ahora.
En nuestro viaje a través de Europa vamos a documentar la situación actual de la expansión de las plantas transformadas por técnica genética. Tomarenos pruebas de los suelos y se las daremos a institutos cientificos para su análisis. Así se costituirá un mapa de la tècnica genética en Europa.
En muchas estaciones de nuestro recorrido contamos nuestras experiencias e intercambiamos información a cerca de la situación actual de la tecnología genética con escolares, estudiantes, políticos, consumidores y agricultores.

Excerpt from jproc.ca/haida/40mm_bofors.html:
The Bofors 40 mm gun, is an anti-aircraft cannon designed in the 1930s by the Swedish arms manufacturer AB Bofors. It was one of the most popular medium-weight anti-aircraft systems during World War II and used by most of the western Allies as well as some captured systems being used by the Axis powers. A small number of these weapons saw action as late as the Persian Gulf War.
These 40 mm, Bofors anti-aircraft guns were installed between 1946 and 1947, on top of the original twin 20 mm OERLIKON power mountings. This was an RCN innovation. The mounting operated hydraulically, with the fluid being supplied by the pumps forward of the after funnel on the Bofor deck, and aft of the helm at the Emergency Steering position. The mounting moved in response to the movement of the fire control "joystick". These guns used to have a Mark II Gun sight, but they are missing.
The design of the gun is such that it had a very high rate of fire due to the fact that the vertical block in the breech, opened upon recoil of the gun, so that the casing was ejected almost immediately after firing. This resulted in a rate of fire of 120 rounds per minute. The rounds were loaded into the breech in "clips" of four and by a crew of four. They were: Trainer/Aimer, Breechworker, Layer, and Loader. The ammunition used was high explosive, and was not fused. The gun could elevate to 70 degrees, and could depress to 0 degrees which allowed it to be used against close in surface contacts which were below the arc of fire of the twin 4 inch guns. The Boffins was very useful in Korea for blowing up floating mines.
HAIDA was fitted with the Mk VII Bofors. In Wikipedia, Mk VII is defined as "a single barreled, hydraulically powered mounting that superseded the Mark III and entered service in 1945.

La venida de Cristo | Dios llega calladamente entre nosotros
Dios Todopoderoso dice: “Dios guarda silencio y nunca se nos ha aparecido, sin embargo, Su obra nunca se ha detenido. Ve todas las tierras y manda a todas las cosas y contempla todas las palabras y obras del hombre. Su gestión es conducida por pasos, y de acuerdo a Su plan. Este avanza en silencio, sin un efecto dramático, pero Sus pisadas avanzan cada vez más cerca de la humanidad, y Su tribunal se despliega en el universo a la velocidad de la luz, inmediatamente seguido por el descenso de Su trono entre nosotros. ¡Qué escena tan majestuosa es esta; qué cuadro tan imponente y solemne! Como una paloma, como un león rugiente, el Espíritu llega entre todos nosotros. Es sabio, es justo y majestuoso; Él llega entre nosotros en silencio, dueño de la autoridad y lleno de amor y compasión” (“Contemplando la aparición de Dios en Su juicio y Su castigo”).

Excerpt from www.mtr.com.hk/en/customer/community/art_archi_life_in_me...:
Life in Mei Foo-Now and Then by Ng Yuen Wa
The sixteen panels will be divided into two main parts according to their themes, one part is about the past of Mei Foo and the other illustrates the life of the Mei Foo residents at the present moment. These two main parts can be subdivided into four groups, each group consisting of four panels:
The first group, On the Night of the Mid-Autumn Festival , depicts how the Mei Foo residents used to share their love and joy at the podium under the full moon at the Mid-Autumn Festival.;
The second group, centred on the theme of Memory of the Seashore, brings the viewers back to a time when there was a wonderful seashore at the Mei Foo Sun Chuen. With a touch of nostalgia, this group of works highlights the sublime seascape and the serene atmosphere of the Mei Foo Sun Chuen.
The Mei Foo residents depicted in the third group, Apartment in the Starry Metropolitan, enjoy the glittering night scene of this prosperous metropolitan – Hong Kong – through gazing out of their apartment windows, while they are resting in their apartments after a day of work.
In Mei Foo, a piece of land has been reclaimed from the sea and a park with different kinds of recreational facilities is built on the reclamation area. The fourth group of work, entitled A Delightful Weekend, focuses on the recreational activities of the Mei Foo residents taking place in the park.

In traditional Chinese culture, the elephant is a symbol of good fortune and affluence. The pronunciation of ‘elephant’ (xiàng) is similar to that of ‘auspiciousness’(xiáng), plus the way elephants draw water using their trunks also represents drawing in wealth. At the entrance to the open area of the public housing on Shun Hing Street (facing the Chung Ying Street police post), stands a striking pavilion with red pillars and a green tiled roof. It’s adorned with small golden tiles on the edges, and at the top, two lifelike dragons are guarding a pearl that represents Sha Tau Kok. In the front, there is a pair of elaborately sculpted elephants. Rumour has it that they were set up by a feng shui master to help residents of Sha Tau Kok to draw wealth and fortune from the natural treasure trove of Starling Inlet (water symbolises wealth in Chinese culture). You may touch the elephants for good luck — touch the one with its trunk raised first to bring wealth and fortune, then the one with its trunk lowered to safeguard them. Remember to follow the correct order!

Música cristiana | La misericordia de Dios hacia la humanidad nunca ha cesado
I
La piedad del Creador no es una frase vacía,
ni una promesa hueca.
Tiene principios y objetivos,
verdaderos y reales sin disfraz.
Su misericordia, dada a la humanidad, sin final en el tiempo.
La palabra del Creador con Jonás está
Su única declaración de por qué Él es piadoso,
y cómo muestra piedad,
cuánto tolera Él a la humanidad,
y Sus verdaderos sentimientos por ella.
La ira de Dios es común para el hombre,
pero Su piedad nunca termina.
Con misericordia, Él guía y lidera,
suministra y nutre al hombre,
generación a generación, de una era a la siguiente.
Su amor por el hombre nunca cambia,
¡Su amor nunca cambiará!
Su amor por el hombre nunca cambia,
¡Su amor nunca cambiará!
II
Los diálogos de Jehová Dios
muestran todo Su pensamiento de la humanidad,
una expresión de Su corazón
y prueba de una rica misericordia al hombre,
no solamente conferida a los ancianos,
sino concedida a los jóvenes,
tal como ha sido y será de una generación a la siguiente.
La ira de Dios es común para el hombre,
pero Su piedad nunca termina.
Con misericordia, Él guía y lidera,
suministra y nutre al hombre,
generación a generación, de una era a la siguiente.
Su amor por el hombre nunca cambia,
¡Su amor nunca cambiará!
La ira de Dios es común para el hombre,
pero Su piedad nunca termina.
Con misericordia, Él guía y lidera,
suministra y nutre al hombre,
generación a generación, de una era a la siguiente.
Su amor por el hombre nunca cambia,
¡Su amor nunca cambiará!
Su amor por el hombre nunca cambia,
¡Su amor nunca cambiará!
De “Seguir al Cordero y cantar nuevos cánticos”

φωνή Θεού
Ο Θεός λέει:« ... Όταν ο Θεός εκστόμισε τις λέξεις «Γενηθήτω φώς», έγινε φως. Ο Θεός δεν ξεκίνησε κάποιο εγχείρημα. Το φως εμφανίστηκε ως αποτέλεσμα του λόγου Του. Αυτό ήταν το φως, το οποίο ο Θεός ονόμασε μέρα και από αυτό εξαρτάται η ανθρώπινη ύπαρξη ακόμα και σήμερα. Επειδή το πρόσταξε ο
Θεός , η υπόσταση και η αξία του δεν έχουν αλλάξει ποτέ και αυτό δεν εξαφανίστηκε ποτέ. Η ύπαρξή του αποδεικνύει την εξουσία και τη δύναμη του Θεού και διακηρύσσει την ύπαρξη του Δημιουργού, και επιβεβαιώνει ξανά και ξανά την ταυτότητα και τη θέση του Δημιουργού. Δεν είναι απροσδιόριστο, ούτε απατηλό, αλλά είναι ένα αληθινό φως, ορατό από τον άνθρωπο. ... »
από το βιβλίο «Ο Λόγος Ενσαρκώνεται»

For strobists: Canon 580EX on camera left. Triggered with a Canon ST-E2 infrared transmitter. Between the strobe and the model is a large self made translucent light panel (just out of the frame).
After watching the truly inspirational Dean Collins DVD's, I decided to make my own 2x1 meter light panel out of PVC tubing. I bought the translucent fabric from my camera store.

Excerpt from www.hospitalitynet.org/announcement/41007033/the-pearle-h...:
The Pearle Hotel and Spa announced today it will open on Burlington's vibrant waterfront (3 Elizabeth Street) on November 1st, 2021.
The urban retreat just steps from Lake Ontario is designed by the award-winning design firm Studio Munge and emulates a modern lake house with elegant white oak panelling, tranquil views of the lake and the heart of downtown. Through thoughtful design, the 151 guest rooms and all public spaces reflect the richness of the changing Canadian seasons.
The luxurious, full-service spa is reminiscent of the arrival of spring, with a curated offering of rejuvenating treatments. Adjoining the spa, a Hammam steam room, an indoor swimming pool, and a state-of-the-art fitness facility adds to the guest experience.
The Pearle Hotel and Spa is home to two inventive, farm-driven dining options, with much of their offerings grown on Pearle Hospitality's own farm located 20 minutes down the road. Inspired by the vibrant, casual days of summer, The Pearle Hotel's restaurant Isabelle headed by Executive Chef Ben Heaton (formerly Patria, Mira, Byblos), has an expansive lakeside terrace with a weather-friendly patio destined to be a space for sharing and connecting with loved ones. The hotel will also house the fourth location of the popular Earth to Table: Bread Bar for high quality ingredient dishes and coffee with more casual cafe seating.
The hotel's exclusive event floor features elegantly designed event space totalling 10,000 square feet. With show stopping floor-to-ceiling windows, hand-blown fixtures by local artisans, and breathtaking lake views, The Pearle Hotel and Spa is the perfect venue for any event, from executive retreats to weddings — memorable moments are guaranteed.
The Pearle Hotel and Spa is inspired by the Ciancone family matriarch, grandmother Pearle, whose work ethic and spirit of hospitality remain deeply admired by her family today. Elegant and free of formality, The Pearle Hotel and Spa embodies and honours the founders' grandmother Pearle.

Desierto y oasis en el sur de Gran Canaria
Las Dunas de Maspalomas es un espacio natural único en las Islas Canarias por su belleza y la variedad de ecosistemas que alberga. Protegido por el Gobierno de Canarias como reserva natural especial, sus 400 hectáreas engloban una excelente playa, un campo de dunas vivas de arena orgánica, un bosque de palmeras y una laguna salobre. Esta mezcla de desierto y oasis se encuentra en la costa del extremo sur de Gran Canaria y está rodeada de los afamados establecimientos hoteleros del gran núcleo turístico de Maspalomas.
Qué hacer en las Dunas de Maspalomas
Para conocer mejor este paraje natural, conviene visitar su centro de información y el mirador, ambos ubicados en el Hotel Riu Palace, en el sector nordeste de Maspalomas conocido como Playa del Inglés. Desde allí sale un sendero cuyo ramal número 3 atraviesa los distintos tipos de dunas de la reserva y llega hasta la extensa y soleada playa de Maspalomas. Desde allí se puede ir a observar la abundante vida salvaje de la Charca y disfrutar de la refrescante sombra del Palmeral.
