Féria de Nîmes. Matador: El Juli
A much-disputed "art," bullfighting has been outlawed in many places but still takes place in Nîmes where some 20k spectators gather twice a year.
My intention here is to record what I saw, leaving it up to you to decide what seems admissible. I saw this but once, seven years ago...and I only looked at these photos in recent months, photos which were probably taken to avoid watching the fight itself.
The bull, if he wins (sometimes the judges spare his life), retires to pasture and sires new calves. If he doesn't, the meat is immediately transferred to butchers' vans, waiting at the exit to the arena. In some cases, the meat is given to the poor.
This photo struck me for the almost symmetrical body language in the matador which mirrored that of the bull.
my passion. <3 i love you! (: though these are not all.. but the others just did not get into the picture.

And i am almost reaching my DAY 365. Mhhh.. This has to be a really really special picture!! :]

Riomaggiore (Rimazùu in the local Ligurian language) is a village and comune in the province of La Spezia, situated in a small valley in the Liguria region of Italy. It is the first of the Cinque Terre one meets when travelling north from La Spezia.
The village, dating from the early thirteenth century, is known for its historic character and its wine, produced by the town's vineyards. Riomaggiore is in the Riviera di Levante region and has shoreline on the Mediterranean's Gulf of Genoa, with a small beach and a wharf framed by tower houses. Riomaggiore's main street is Via Colombo, where numerous restaurants, bars and shops can be found.
The Via dell'Amore is a path connecting Riomaggiore to its frazione Manarola, also part of the Cinque Terre.
Riomaggiore is the most southern village of the five Cinque Terre, all connected by trail. The water and mountainside have been declared national parks.
Riomaggiore inspired paintings by Telemaco Signorini (1835-1901), one of the artists of the Macchiaioli group.

Visting Dordrecht I saw on the banks of the Spui delightful small Shepherd's Purse, Capsella bursa-pastoris. Here and there - as ought to be in Spring - couples of Thick-thighed Singing Hoverflies, Syritta pipiens, being fruitful, one hopes.
In contemplation of this wonder of Nature, I immediately, of course, given this town, linked to another fruitful, major event here. In the Grote Kerk - see inset - in 1618 a Church Synod of international protestantism was convened. The theological issues caused great division in The Netherlands, but that's not my topic. Far more importantly, that Synod also commissoned a standard translation of the Bible into Dutch, the so-called Statenvertaling, comparable to the King James Version in English (1611). It wasn't until 1626 that the States-General agreed to the Synod's request and though the translation (from Hebrew and Greek) was ready in 1635 it took the government until 1637 to agree to (and to underwrite) its printing. Once printed that Statenvertaling not only served to standardise the Dutch language - almost everyone at some point used it or at least understood its phrasing - but much of its language provided catch-phrases still used today (often without the speaker realising it). Thus it became highly fruitful for Dutch literature, poetry, prose and any other kind alike.
And the name of our plant, Shepherd's Purse, brings to mind as well how the language of that Statenvertaling, stimulated and expounded by the protestant Shepherds of the Word, became known as the "Tale Kanaäns", the language of faith, often recognisable even if the speakers don't know it themselves.
But our Hoverflies merely sing without words! and are fruitfully multiplying.

The sun had started to set in at this little town. The inca ruins in the mountains surrounding this town started to catch my eye. This town has a lot to offer if you are looking for inca history. Ollantaytambo served as the main location for inca resistance against the Spaniards. The Ollantaytambo Fortress, built in 15th century, is the main attraction for exploration here which deeply rooted within the mountains around this town. #Travel #Peru #IncaRuins #CanonPhotography
or labour of love as some might call it. From seed to plant, to harvest to Viva la Salsa! For me food is an expression of love and caring. Some experts believe there's a sixth omnipotent love language — food. “Food incorporates all the other five languages and all five senses. It's a very powerful way of creating a connection and expressing love,” relationship and human behavior expert Patrick Wanis, Ph. D.Jan 29, 2020.
