The Baphuon (Khmer: ប្រាសាទបាពួន) is a temple at Angkor, Cambodia. It is located in Angkor Thom, northwest of the Bayon. Built in the mid-11th century, it is a three-tiered temple mountain built as the state temple of Udayadityavarman II dedicated to the Hindu God Shiva. It is the archetype of the Baphuon style. The temple adjoins the southern enclosure of the royal palace and measures 120 metres east-west by 100 metres north-south at its base and stands 34 meters tall without its tower, which would have made it roughly 50 meters tall. Its appearance apparently impressed Temür Khan's late 13th century envoy Chou Ta-kuan during his visit from 1296 to 1297, who said it was 'the Tower of Bronze...a truly astonishing spectacle, with more than ten chambers at its base.' In the late 15th century, the Baphuon was converted to a Buddhist temple. A 9 meter tall by 70 meter long statue of a reclining Buddha was built on the west side's second level, which probably required the demolition of the 8 meter tower above, thus explaining its current absence. The temple was built on land filled with sand, and due to its immense size the site was unstable throughout its history. Large portions had probably already collapsed by the time the Buddha was added.

By the 20th century, much of the temple had largely collapsed, and restoration efforts have since proven problematic: a first effort begun in 1960 was interrupted by the coming to power of the Khmer Rouge, and records of the positions of the stones were lost. A second attempt started in 1995 by a team of French-led archeologists as of 2005 was still ongoing, restricting visitor access. As of November 2010, partial visitor access was once again allowed, though not to the central structure.
In April 2011, after 51 years, the archaeologists finished the restoration of the temple. King Norodom Sihamoni of Cambodia and Prime Minister Francois Fillon of France were among those who first toured the renovated temple during the inauguration ceremony on July 3, 2011
This frog is only 1-2 centimeters in size but makes amazing electric sound: You can hear my recording at www.chikawatanabe.com/blog/files/Frog.mp3
According to the book I browsed at the shop at Kura Hulanda hotel, these frogs came to Curacao only in the 80's, and are believed to have been accidentally brought on a ship from nearby Venezuela. Though Curacao is very dry unlike its original habitat in Venezuela, the frogs adjusted nicely to the island and now you can hear their amazing chorus at night in Willemstad.
From Wikipedia:
Petra (Greek "πέτρα" (petra), meaning rock; Arabic: البتراء, Al-Batrāʾ) is a historical and archaeological city in the Jordanian governorate of Ma'an that is famous for its rock cut architecture and water conduits system. Established sometime around the 6th century BC as the capital city of the Nabataeans,[2] it is a symbol of Jordan as well as its most visited tourist attraction.[2] It lies on the slope of Mount Hor[3] in a basin among the mountains which form the eastern flank of Arabah (Wadi Araba), the large valley running from the Dead Sea to the Gulf of Aqaba. Petra has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1985.
The site remained unknown to the Western world until 1812, when it was introduced by Swiss explorer Johann Ludwig Burckhardt. It was described as "a rose-red city half as old as time" in a Newdigate Prize-winning poem by John William Burgon. UNESCO has described it as "one of the most precious cultural properties of man's cultural heritage."[4] Petra was chosen by the BBC as one of "the 40 places you have to see before you die".[5]

Europe Days in Brussels, 2023
Europe Days in Brussels is organised annually to celebrate peace and unity throughout Europe. In 2023 it was celebrated on the 6th May. Several events took place to inform and raise public awareness of the work the EU is doing, as well as demonstrating the values which the EU stands for.
It offered a fantastic opportunity for YEAs and influencers to gain a deeper understanding, familiarity, and interest in the EU and the work of the European Commission. This helps to cement ties between members of the network as well as connecting with other YEAs and young stakeholders from the Western Balkans and Southern Neighbourhood countries.

Back in the 18th an 19th century this route was how coal made its way from the mine to the harbour. Now it's a great way to cut through the town without meeting any road traffic.
In this double-self-portrait, much like in his 1911 painting Self-Seer, Egon Schiele meditates on the great mystery of death.His focus here is on the interface between death and life—i.e. dying in and of itself—though he refrains from even attempting to come up with an answer as to what the hereafter might hold in store.
This painting’s visionary theme consists of a human being, positioned before a stylized landscape, in two states of levitation or floating away.While the lower version of the figure still touches the ground with his feet, the upper one has already lost contact with all things earthly.The wide eyes of this still-living figure are tired, their lids only half-open; his face is greenish in colour, and his fingertips touch in a loose praying position.The facial expression and gestures of the lower figure, on the other hand, suggest that he still has a bit of life left in him; he gazes out of the centre of the painting in abject terror.
This painting makes a theme of human beings letting go of life on earth; it also mercilessly lays bare the ephemeral nature of all that is human while posing the question as to the great mystery of what lies beyond.In the actual moment of death, however, nothing is yet decided—all worldviews, from atheism to the belief in a hereafter to the belief in reincarnation, remain plausible.Left behind is a rather melancholic field landscape containing various flowers which, though colourful, are unable to brighten up the scene.
This autumn series was actually taken on Christmas Day (2008).
I like this photo because it seems to combine winter and autumn with some spring green in between.
