Amazing and mysterious construction at Quinta da Regaleira, Sintra, Portugal.
Le site des Colimaçons est connu mondialement dans le milieu du parapente, il s’y déroule une compétition internationale tous les ans depuis 1990.
Le décollage est entièrement aménagé, et il suffit de pouvoir courir une dizaine de mètres pour accéder au plaisir de survoler Saint leu et son lagon. Le vol commence au-dessus des champs de canne, puis du conservatoire botanique national de Mascarin, ou encore du centre Kélonia et ses tortues marines. La descente se poursuit par un survol du lagon ; on observe souvent des tortues, parfois des dauphins et quelquefois des baleines pendant la saison de Juillet à Octobre. Le vol se termine en douceur par un atterrissage sur la plage.
“The constellation's symbol is ♈, which represents a ram's horns. Aries is associated with courage, boldness, and initiation.” This particular ram is learning about the stars and constellations.
CHEF Tim Noonan wants us to take inspiration from the zodiac!
➤ The focus of your image will be your zodiac animal, either from the Western** or Chinese*** zodiac (one OR the other, not both in the same entry).
➤ The mood must be dusk or dawn (could be sunset or sunrise).
➤ Include an urban structure (bridge, tower, dam, etc.).
➤ And an everyday, man-made object (bottle, toy, shoe, etc.).
➤ NO PEOPLE
The beautiful ram is from Pixabay. The background is from my archives, and the book and bushes are from Picsart.
For my sorority initiation last Saturday, a day marking my transition to a full-fledged sister, my attire needed to strike a balance between tradition and personal style. Enter the "Picnic" dress by Tres Blah: a clean white canvas, elevated by subtle frilled shoulder straps and a lace-trimmed hem. It's a piece that speaks of simplicity with a hint of detail. Grounding the look were the "Raleigh" heels by Essenz, their ankle-wrapping straps adding a contemporary twist. And while sorority norms called for a bare face, my hair took center stage. Styled at Stealthic, it was pulled up with a few artfully curled tendrils left free.
The art of the samurai sword is taught to me by the sōke who started with the theory before moving on to katana handling exercises ⛩️

The initiation process to join the Seer Society starts with losing the vision of your left eye, thus having it replaced with a "seer eye". The process is brutal and will naturally result in a ghastly scar.
Hello my little visionaries, your favorite seer is here with another release. Here we have "Initiation", a scar with two options, "raw" and "healed". The scar comes in 3 tones. Enjoy!
You may purchase or demo "Initiation" here

There’s a moment of peaceful balance and serenety on all levels before life gradually swings into full circle again.

I told you I had to get to this place again. Still not happy with the result, but couldn't do better than this. Here's some information about it:
In the town of Sintra, the Quinta da Regaleira, an extremely beautiful architectural complex, includes an early twentieth century palace and a garden. Specialists consider that the estate reveals and symbolises Masonic rituals, although no-one knows whether the original owner of the estate, António Carvalho Monteiro, actually practised Masonic rituals on the site, or simply desired to perpetuate the imaginary universe of this secret cult. The garden includes labyrinthine galleries and subterranean grottoes, which can be accessed from this dry well, 60 metres deep, 9 stairwells each with 15 steps.
aka an inverted tower, this was never used as a water source, but for Masonic ritual involving tarot and other strange rites.

Visiting Sintra was definitely a highlight of my Portugal trip! Here I'm visiting the famous initiation well at Quinta da Regaleira.
A beautiful sunrise lights up the sky looking towards the Lake District mountains as seen from the Point of Ayre. My favourite little lighthouse Winkie and its diagonal leading pathway providing a nice foreground for the photo. This shot was captured at around 70mm which helps compress the background, which is another way of saying helps the mountains in the backdrop to actually be visible rather than a collection of a few pixels along the horizon line.
I’d like to take this opportunity to wish all my followers a very Merry Christmas. For all my fellow photographers, I hope Santa brings you all the photography gear you need to satisfy your festive GAS (Gear Acquisition Syndrome). Not much time left in 2024 now, but hopefully I can squeeze a little more landscape photography goodness from the year yet!
