The tibetan flags were praying so intensively into the wind of this sunset that was impossible to me not to dedicate a shot to them. So, just exposing a little longer than needed and I captured even the wind itself, and I hope, their prayers.

Hay un par de fotos más en los primeros comentarios. Estos cultivos y muchos otros parecidos son los culpables en gran medida del desastre ecológico que vive el Mar Menor. Los fertilizantes y los insecticidas que se emplean en estos campos acaban en los acuíferos y en el mar, sobre todo cuando hay gotas frías y danas como ha sucedido en los últimos meses. PD Fotos hechas con el teléfono móvil.
An unusual picture - domes on the ground. They are intended for the Orthodox Church of the Forty Martyrs in Konakovo. Tver region. Russia.
Gold. The most common color of Orthodox domes represents eternity and heavenly glory. Temples with golden domes were dedicated to Christ and the great church holidays - Christmas, Meeting, Annunciation. Such chapters crown the Moscow Cathedral of Christ the Savior and the Kremlin cathedrals - the Assumption, Annunciation, Arkhangelsk.
Currently, domes are not clad with gold, but earlier the metal was dissolved in mercury, and then the resulting amalgam was applied to a hot copper sheet. The gilding process was very expensive and labor intensive.
The onion dome in Orthodox architecture is the embodiment of prayer, aspiration to heaven. According to researcher Yevgeny Trubetskoy, such a dome on the base of the drum resembles a candle flame. Onion-shaped chapters are characteristic of Russian architecture of the 16th – 17th centuries.

The most intensive blue I've ever seen on an animal was the plumage of the blue-bellied Roller. Looks a bit l ike it has been landing directly into an inkpot! 😄
"È vegetariana o vegana solo una percentuale bassa della popolazione italiana (circa l’8%), ma l’ultimo rapporto dell’IPCC (Intergovernamental Panel on Climate Change) è molto chiaro nel sollecitare la popolazione mondiale “a favore di diete che implicano un minor uso di risorse.” Secondo il rapporto, un deciso cambiamento delle nostre diete in senso vegetariano potrebbe liberare milioni di chilometri quadrati dallo sfruttamento intensivo, riducendo le emissioni di CO2 fino a sei miliardi di tonnellate l’anno rispetto ai livelli attuali.
Ma chi sceglie di diventare vegetariano o vegano non lo fa per un astratto amore verso l’ambiente o per il futuro dell’umanità, quanto piuttosto per la raggiunta consapevolezza della simile sensibilità delle altre specie con la nostra, e del pari diritto alla vita. E’ del 1975 il saggio del filosofo Peter Singer “Liberazione animale”, un testo fondamentale dell’animalismo e dell’anti-specismo.
Ho fotografato alcuni miei amici vegetariani o vegani."
"Only a low percentage of the Italian population is vegetarian or vegan (about 8%), but the latest report by the IPCC (Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change) is very clear in urging the world population" in favor of diets that involve less use of resources. " According to the report, a decisive change in our diets in the vegetarian sense could free millions of square kilometers from intensive exploitation, reducing CO2 emissions by up to six billion tons per year compared to current levels.
But those who choose to become vegetarian or vegan do not do so for an abstract love for the environment or for the future of humanity, but rather for the awareness of the similar sensitivity of the other species to ours, and of the equal right to life. 1975 was the essay by the philosopher Peter Singer "Animal Liberation", a fundamental text of animalism and anti-speciesism.
I photographed some of my vegetarian or vegan friends. "

Thanks to rising temperatures and a bit of rain this year's frog and toad migration has started. The populations are under immense pressure - mostly due to streets the animals have to cross to reach their breeding ponds and also due to intensive, industrial agriculture... heavy machinery condenses the ground and mangles animals, not to mention overfertilization and pesticides . We try to help the toads cross streets by building low tin foil fences by the roadside. Volunteers check the fences twice a day, pick up the waiting animals and carry them to the ponds they're headed to. The population at this location is dramatically decreasing and will soon be terminated if we're not in for some sort of miracle. When I collected the toads at the fence today I watched the local farmers on their machines on the fields around me. No amphibians migrating these fields had any chance for survival.
But every animal we carry is worth the effort, and a chance to delay extinction for yet another year.

My days in Canada were very intensive. Traveling, hiking long distances, seeing everything because there is so much to see etc. But on the morning I took this picture, I wasn't in the mood to hurry so I walked from the waterfowl lake campground to this lake ( a 5 min hiking distance) and enjoyed most of the day this view. Another nice thing what happened was that I saw a lot of bird-life that otherwise I would have chased away, and I heard the call of the loon, which is absolutely amazing, and that reminded me of of the morning calls of the gibbons in the tropical rainforest. The loons were looking after their chick, the first in three years one of the rangers told me merrily!
From the 11th of June till the 25th of July, I traveled in Canada. Starting in Brighton Ontario, where my sister lives at the border of an amazing part of lake Ontario, I flew to Vancouver, and Vancouver island where I took the boat at Port Hardy to take part 1 of the Inside passage, to Prince Rupert in BC. Two days later I took part 2 to Skagway in Alaska. When coming from Skagway Alaska, you can take the train to Carcross. it is a very scenic train ride that halts at Bennet lake.
And then to Whitehorse and further on by car to Kluane National park in the Yukon district. Whitehorse is situated at the border of the Yukon. Frow there I flew back to Vancouver, rented a car, and traveled three weeks in the BC- and Alberta Rockies, visiting the famous, and less famous Nature parks like Banff and Jasper. Last few days back to Brighton Ontario to enjoy lake Ontario once more, before going home. A picture of my itinerary can be found on Facebook (www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10152940536581759&set...).
4000 pictures later, it is quite a task to show the right stuff, although the stunning scenery guarantees at least a few great shots to share. Objective will be to make a book (for myself mainly), and that might take a while.
I hope you will enjoy the impression of my travel, one that equals earlier journeys to Alaska and south America, this journey was the first in the digital era, and equally intensive because of all the hiking activities every day on and on. I loved every minute of it.
Vintage Washboard I am sure there are people who still use these, very labor intensive. This one has some age and wear, found in North Carolina.
End of the day, walking to this beautiful waterfall was great to finish the day. With 2,5km's walking up a mountian it's very intensive but also very rewarding when you get there. Difficult light at the end of the day but it turned out very well.
Ooooh. At least I woke! But with a headache and a sweaty fever again. I'm waiting for things to get better. Think I have some way to go according to this:
What are the stages and symptoms of COVID-19?
Day 1: The symptoms usually start with a fever, a dry cough and mild breathing issues which may get worse over the next week. You also may have symptoms of a sore throat, coughing up mucus, diarrhea, nausea, body aches and joint pain.
Day 7: Breathing may become difficult or laboured. This is called dyspnoea.
Day 9: Sepsis may start, this is the body's extreme response to an infection that can lead to organ failure or injury.
Day 10-12: People who have mild COVID-19 start to have an improvement in their fever and cough, but in serious cases their fever and cough continues.
Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) starts to be diagnosed, this is a respiratory problem when there is widespread inflammation in the lungs.
Day 12: This is the median day to be admitted into the intensive care unit (ICU).
Day 15: Acute kidney and cardiac injury becomes evident.
Day 18.5: The median time it takes from the first symptoms of COVID-19 to death is 18.5 days.

Not sure what day I'm on. Only got a first positive test result yesterday
Striking nurses picket St Thomas' Hospital ... where Boris Johnson was in intensive care with Covid.
Remembering the beauty and warmth of summer in time when temperatures getting less than -30ºC (-37ºC in some places).
Intensive living
If you stand in one of the typical courtyards of Hong Kong, you can see how intense it is to live together in such a small space. The Chinese special administrative region Hong Kong is roughly the size of Stuttgart and Berlin put together. However, around 7.5 million residents crowd into it.
Intensiv-Wohnen
Steht man in einer von Hongkongs typischen Innenhöfe, erahnt man, wie intensiv das Zusammenleben auf engstem Raum sein muß.
Die chinesische Sonderverwaltungszone Hongkong etwa ist ungefähr so groß wie Stuttgart und Berlin zusammengenommen. In ihr drängen sich jedoch rund 7,5 Millionen Bewohner.

The rarest shorebird on the planet with only 136 adults the moment. Although this is a low number it is up from a mere 29 individuals in the early 1980's. Through intensive predator management and captive breeding these birds are on their way to becoming a success story.
The Rose passage in Łódź. It looks really original when you are there :)
The author of the project is Joanna Rajkowska. The Rose Passage is an exceptional and personal project which is linked to the illness of her daughter, Rose. The execution of the project was very labor-intensive as it consisted in gluing small pieces of mirrors on the walls of the tenement house at 3 Piotrkowska St. All the walls of the backyard have been covered in the pieces of mirror. The light-reflecting mosaic gives life to the surroundings, whereas the pieces of mirror create images which are seemingly unadjusted to each other and deformed. However, it is just an illusion which is the result of broken mirrors symbolizing the sick retina of the eye. It is up to the passers-by to try and piece the reality back together. This is symbolic of the reconstruction of Rose’s retina after chemotherapy. After her illness, the girl has partial vision and it is possible that her perception of reality consists in piecing together the fragments of the whole image.

Pasaż Róży w Łodzi (koniecznie oglądajcie zdjęcie w powiększeniu). Miejsce naprawdę oryginalne :)
Autorką projektu jest artystka Joanna Rajkowska. Pasaż Róży to wyjątkowa i osobista realizacja, która nawiązuje do choroby córki artystki - Róży. Realizacja projektu była bardzo pracochłonna, polegała na wyklejeniu kawałkami pociętych na małe części luster ścian kamienicy przy ul. Piotrkowskiej 3. Wszystkie ściany w podwórzu kamienicy zostały pokryte kawałkami luster. Odbijająca światło mozaika ożywia otoczenie, a fragmenty luster dają z pozoru obrazy niedopasowane do siebie i zniekształcone. Jednak będzie to tylko złudzenie, które wynika z rozbicia luster, symbolizujących chorą siatkówkę oka. To do przechodniów należy podjęcie wysiłku złożenia fragmentów rzeczywistości na nowo. Działania te, to symboliczne gesty nawiązujące do odbudowy siatkówki oka Róży po chemioterapii. Dziewczyna po chorobie widzi szczątkowo, możliwe, że jej sposób percepcji rzeczywistości polega również na scalaniu w całość fragmentów jednego obrazu.
Compositionally Challenged Week 27 - Storytelling
Shot while visiting a family member. The story started with a fantastic Alaskan cruise but then turned serious on the last day. He had to be hospitalized in British Columbia for 11 days and then was flown back to Colorado via air ambulance yesterday. His wife had to drive their vehicle home by herself, arriving just tonight. We've all been on edge and will be for a while.
I'll be popping in and out but I might not get around to commenting much, my apologies! : )
