Helgoland is a German island in the North Sea. In the past, the island has been part of Denmark and the United Kingdom, but since 1890 it has been German property. It is considerably further away from the coast than the East Frisian Islands. Strangely enough, it is not part of the customs territory of the European Community. On Helgoland, Halunder freesk is spoken, a North Frisian language. The main island, with the recognizable cliff of Trias fur sandstone, which is subdivided into Oberland and Unterland. The small island of Düne is mainly covered with sand and popular with nudists. There is an airport on Düne and there are two bungalow parks. Helgoland is traffic-free: there are only a few cars, and cycling is prohibited. There is a small bus that makes a tour around the island. There are also some electric vehicles that serve as vans. Helgoland can be reached by high-speed catamaran, ferry or by small propeller plane. The island enjoys considerable fame among nature and especially bird lovers because it is an important breeding ground and stopping place for sea birds from the North Sea region and for migratory birds. The Northern Gannet is a seabird living at the coasts of the North Sea. Colonies are mostly located on offshore islands with cliffs, from which the birds can more easily launch into the air. Gannets breed here on the cliffs of Helgoland in the summer. The birds overwinter at sea and are known to follow ships. They dive for fish in a spectacular way and can do that at a speed of 100 km/hour if they drop.
The unique island Helgoland in the North Sea has great flora and fauna for nature lovers. The most preferred way of strolling around the island is by walking. At the northern end of the Oberland you can see "Lange Anna" a landmark of Helgoland. Lange Anna is a tall 47 metres high sea stack of Buntsandstein. Its real local name is Nathurn Stak. Climbing the stack is not allowed but tourists may view the rock from a distance. Northern Gannets started breeding on the German island Helgoland about 25 years ago. The colony, nowadays holding about 700 breeding pairs, birds annually die on the nest. Gannets build their nests on steep cliff faces. They used seaweed to construct the nest. Northern gannets exhibit many types of aggressive behavior while they are nesting. Confrontations normally only take place between birds of the same sex. A female will not react if a male approaches a nest but it will react fiercely if another female approaches. The fights between males occupying nests for the first time are particularly intense. Such fights can last for up to two hours and may lead to serious injuries. Birds lunge at each other and lock bills, wrestling for extended periods while neighbors peck at them. This shot was taken during the breeding season at the Breithorn rock.
Helgoland is een Duits eiland in de Noordzee. In het verleden is het eiland onderdeel geweest van Denemarken en van het Verenigd Koninkrijk, maar sinds 1890 is het Duits grondbezit. Het ligt aanzienlijk verder uit de kust dan de Oost-Friese Waddeneilanden, waar het niet toe gerekend wordt. Het hoofdeiland, met de herkenbare klif van Trias bontzandsteen, dat is onderverdeeld in Oberland en Unterland. Helgoland is te bereiken per high-speed catamaran, veerboot of per kleine propeller vliegtuig. Aan de noordkant van het Oberland zie je Lange Anna, een herkenningspunt van Helgoland. Lange Anna is een lange 47 meter hoge rots (nu door omvallen bedreigde) van bontzandsteen. De echte lokale naam is Nathurn Stak. Het beklimmen van de rotspunt is niet toegestaan, maar toeristen kunnen de rots van een afstand bekijken. Het eiland geniet aanzienlijke faam bij natuur- en vooral vogelliefhebbers omdat het een belangrijke broed- en pleisterplaats is voor zeevogels uit het Noordzeegebied en voor trekvogels. De Jan-van-gent is een zeevogel met een groot verspreidingsgebied in de Noordzee. De naam van deze vogel heeft niets met de naam van de persoon Jan van Gent te maken. Het woord gent is verklaarbaar en herkenbaar voor een mannelijke watervogel zoals een gans. Mogelijk heeft het ook te maken met de Nederlands gewoonte om in uitdrukkingen de naam Jan te plaatsen zoals "Jan en alleman", vandaar jan-van-gent. Jan-van-genten broeden in de zomer op klippen op rotsige eilanden zoals Helgoland. Jan-van-gent vogels vertonen veel soorten van agressief gedrag terwijl ze nestelen. Confrontaties vinden normaal gesproken alleen plaats tussen vogels van hetzelfde geslacht. Een vrouwtje zal niet reageren als een mannetje een nest nadert, maar het zal fel reageren als een ander vrouwtje nadert. De gevechten tussen mannen die voor het eerst nesten bezetten, zijn bijzonder intens. Dergelijke gevechten kunnen tot twee uur duren en kunnen leiden tot ernstig letsel. Vogels vallen naar elkaar uit en worstelen langdurig terwijl buren naar hen pikken. De vogels overwinteren op zee en staan erom bekend dat ze schepen volgen. Ze maken dan lange tochten tot in de Middellandse Zee. Ze duiken op spectaculaire wijze naar vis en kunnen dat met een snelheid van 100 km/uur als ze zich laten vallen.

Double Tulips, speaking a silent language that I seem to understand.
Wouldn't it be a lovely thought, if I had been a beautiful flower in a 'previous' life?
As a youngster, a loner, being born in Bruges, West Flanders, I would often just walk into one of the many musea and churches (free in those days!), where you could admire all the great Flemish old Masters, I so loved their light!!!
I was a sponge, absorbed it, stored it, till now? I do aim for it in my photography!
SO,I adapted the lights and reflectors for the 'Flemish School of light' again, so suits these.
It is full on the time of the DOUBLE TULIPS in the shop... at the moment, I feel they 'might' be my favourites! They are a bit capricious, Baroque, so varied in shapes, with small oddities, I have become fascinated by them, aahh, and the colours, from deep red, through textured orange to veined yellow to green, the leaves also perform.
Oh, and that sweet honey fragrance... HMMMM, Love them.

On February 21, 1952 Police opened fire on a student demonstration in Dhaka demanding Bangla to be one of the national languages of the then Pakistan. A number of students of Dhaka University laid down their lives in that shooting and thus creating a unique event in the annals of History. Never before has any one laid down their lives for recognition of their mother tongue!
This event is observed throughout Bangladesh and in Dhaka it begins with laying of floral wreaths starting from midnight followed by early morning barefoot procession towards the Central Shaheed Minar located near Dhaka Medical College Hospital (the location where the students were shot and killed).
Its observance was also formally recognized by the United Nations General Assembly in its resolution in 2008 establishing as the International Year of Languages!

Lake Worth Beach is a city in Palm Beach County, Florida, United States, which takes its name from the body of water along its eastern border known as the Lake Worth Lagoon. The lake itself was named for General William J. Worth, who led U.S. forces during the last part of the Second Seminole War. As of 2010, the population estimated by the U.S. Census Bureau was 34,910. It is a principal city of the Miami metropolitan area, which was home to an estimated 6,012,331 people in 2015.
Lake Worth Beach was incorporated as the "Town of Lake Worth" in June 1913. Many of the first residents were farmers from other parts of the American south and mid-west, looking to benefit from the growing winter vegetable market of the time. The city benefited with the rest of south Florida during the Florida land boom of the 1920s. A wooden automobile traffic bridge over Lake Worth was completed in 1919. The first casino and municipal beach complex was completed shortly thereafter. The 1920s also saw the completion of the Gulf Stream Hotel, now on the National Register of Historic Places.
The city was severely damaged in the 1928 hurricane, toppling the bell tower on the elementary school (today the City Hall Annex) and destroying the beachfront casino and automobile bridge over Lake Worth. This led to a severe economic decline within the community, during the Great Depression. Things were so dire in the city in the 1930s, that President Franklin D. Roosevelt's Works Progress Administration built a striking, moorish-styled "City Gymnasium" on the corner of Lake Avenue and Dixie Highway. The building today serves as City Hall.
William A. Boutwell, who ran the Boutwell Dairy from 1927 to 1956, is credited with inventing half & half creamer; the dairy later merged with Alfar Creamery and then T.G. Lee, who distributed the product more widely until it became an American diner staple.
Development started again after World War II with many modest pensioners, especially from Quebec, Finland, and eventually Germany, moving to the city and building 1,000-square-foot (93 m2) cottages. These new immigrants brought their industrious nature with them as well as their native customs, restaurants, shops, and churches and for decades the town flourished. To this day, one can find an abundance of beer halls, chocolatiers, Bavarian delicatessens, and Lutheran churches, which stand out in the semitropical urban sprawl of South Florida.
The South Florida construction boom brought a new wave of immigrants in the past few decades. Central Americans have added a Hispanic aspect to Lake Worth's culture. Included in the 1980s immigration were many Guatemalan-Mayans who consider themselves indigenous people, rather than "Hispanic" or "Latino" and some may not speak Spanish. They mostly converse in Mam, Q'anjob'al, or any one of 22 existing Mayan languages spoken in Guatemala. Adding to the racial and linguistic mix of the city is a large Haitian population, speaking Haitian Creole and French.
During a short period of neglect and decline in the 1980s and 1990s, Lake Worth, in the words of then-city commissioner Dennis Dorsey, "had become known as the skin-flick capital of the country." The venue now known as the Lake Worth Playhouse was the Playtoy, and was well known in Palm Beach County as the theater that showed x-rated movies; Deep Throat was shown there, motivating a police raid.
The downtown area has seen a huge resurgence in interest and now sports an array of art galleries, sidewalk cafés and night clubs. Once moribund property values have soared. The city's main street, Lake Avenue, contains some of the oldest commercial structures in South Florida, including the Art Deco Lake Worth Playhouse.
The city was hit especially hard by Hurricanes Frances, Jeanne, and Wilma in 2004 and 2005. The fishing pier was quite damaged but was repaired (with the help of FEMA) and reopened in May 2009. The pier is currently open to the public with entry fees of $1 per adult sightseer, and $3 per adult fisherman. The city's public swimming pool has been restored, and besides serving to instruct Palm Beach County residents in swimming and water safety, hosts water-sport competitions. The pier is home to a tide gauge with a sporadic history, showing an above average rate of sea level rise.
In 2015, the city was accused of asking for business licenses from surrounding churches.
In 2019 a ballot initiative to change the name of the city to Lake Worth Beach passed with a narrow margin. The city states that the name change "will be implemented slowly".

A 2001 installed bronze sculpture "Numbers are the Language of Nature" on Domain Walk in Auckland Domain.
The sculpture is by Italian born artist Chiara Corbelletto, a graduate of Modigliani Art School, Novara, in 1973 and gained a Bachelor of Architecture from the University of Milan, 1979.
In 1981 Corbelletto moved to New Zealand.
For this sculpture Corbelletto used the concept of tessellation, a pattern created by repeating a shape over a surface.
Corbelletto fashioned a three dimensional form made up of twenty identical bronze modules.

In Nepali language 'Shanti' means peace that why this pagoda style stupa,lying at an altitude of about 1100m above the sea level is also called peace pagoda. Built by monk,Nochidastu Fuji under instruction of his guru Myohoji in 1973 the stupa is about 5km up the hill both from southern edge of Phewa lake and Chorepatan.The majestic stupa has four diferent statutes of Lord Buddha in each direction installed by Japan,Nepal, Srilanka and Thailand. The pinnacle of the stupa is from Srilanka.
To reach Shanti stupa the visitors have two options either by boating to southern edge of Phewa lake followed by hiking or from Chorepatan or Phumdibhumdi on a cab, bike or half an hour walk up the hill. Lovers of wilderness and solitude perfer to scale the hill from the Phewa lake as the journey goes through dense forest accompanied by songs of birds and circkets.On reaching the top of the hill, eye soothing view of Mount Annapurna and Fistail, Phewa lake,unending landscapes and green lush forest magnetises the visitors.Towering Pagoda style Peace stupa, and its surrounding garden,like its name fills the visitors with spiritual ecstasy and jubilant mood.The stupa is not just a Buddhist pilgrimage but also a palce for Hindus to worship that why it also exihibits quintessence of religious tolarance in Nepal.

Please take your time... and enjoy it large on black
Laos is blessed with some of Asia’s nicest rivers, and many of them are mellow. Children spent the day at school, and by the afternoon they were doing the chores required of them…building a fire for the kitchen, sweeping the leaves into a pile, or caring for the young siblings strapped to their back …young boys and girls from the age of seven or eight attentive to the baby’s every need. Amongst this was the laughter of children playing in the river. But sometimes they skip their days at school, going fishing and collecting snails from the river, or using long bamboo poles to knock crickets from the trees. They eat the crickets live or drop them into bottles and take them home for lunch or dinner.
Photo taken nearby the Tad Lo waterfall near the little town Kieng Than Lei - Laos. These ragged little urchins spend most of their days not at school, but fishing and collecting snails from the river. School is important for ethnic minority kids, they should attend and complete primary education in order to overcome rural/urban, ethnic in the area of literacy and education. But it isn't that easy. The reason to skip school are the family economic considerations, involvement in family maintenance and subsistence tasks, the lack of perceived benefits from education. While poverty and lack of access are issues. In addition to these, ethnic minority kids have to face further barriers to education, including the distance from school facilities, their extreme poverty, and additional cultural barriers and the lack of fluency in the national language, Lao. The ethnic kids speak their own language. About 32% of all Laotians are related to Ethnic groups. Totally 160 ethnic groups and speak 82 distinct living languages.
...an old lady washing her clothes in the river gave us a beautiful smile; the Laos people are so friendly. Kids have a great time running on the rampart, swimming in the Sexet river at the Tad Lo waterfall, taking boat rides along the river and playing. A bit futher south men washing their elephants in the river. Lao seems a bit like heaven, the laughter is often & sincere, the rivers are cool and clean and not a speck of modern civilization in sight. In my perspective it is some of the best Laos can offer.
Found these guys fishing at South West Rocks on sunset. Don't know whether their garb would attract the fish or scare them off!

but danielle has been on of my closest friends since we were in the third grade. this makes me want to take intimate portraits of all of my close friends and family. i want to keep a piece of them with me forever. i want to shoot them the way that i see them.
Mi “invierno” acabó hace ya tiempo, pero sigo sin tener mucha actividad en las redes sociales. En parte se debe a mi habilidad para disponer cada vez de menos tiempo sin realmente hacer nada de provecho (soy una desastre T_T ), y en parte a un cierto rechazo a Flickr desde que calificaron a mi galería de fotos como “restringida”, al mismo nivel que la pornografía mas dura. Esto último es muy sencillo de arreglar, lo único que tengo que hacer es abrir una nueva cuenta de Flickr y mi galería volverá a ser “segura”. Pero no quiero hacerlo, o no quiero hacerlo exactamente así, en parte por una cuestión de dignidad y en parte por una cuestión de identidad como Melisa. De todas formas yo siempre he utilizado Flickr como si fuera mi blog, y quizás ha llegado el momento de tener un blog real. No es solo Flickr, todas las redes sociales de una u otra manera nos dejan desprotegidas ante cualquier denuncia por el hecho de ser chicas crossdresser. Por eso cuando acabó mi “invierno” decidí crear un blog que se convirtiera en mi sitio principal en la red, mi piedra de toque. Ese sitio hasta este momento era esta galería de Flickr. Eso no significa que vaya a dejar esta cuenta, ni mucho menos, seguiré estando para mis amigas exactamente igual, participaré y subiré cosas siempre que pueda, solo que mi forma de enfocar esta cuenta será diferente y girará en torno a mi blog. Además, Flickr con este último cambio se ha vuelto muy fotográfico, cosa lógica por otra parte y que no es mala. Puede que incluso abra otra cuenta “segura”.
Esta es el link que os llevará a mi blog:
melisagarciablog.blogspot.com.es/
aún está en construcción, y el hacer de el algo que me guste es toda una diversión.
Con este blog no persigo que tenga muchas visitas, ni comentarios, ni “me gusta” ni nada de eso. Con este blog solo quiero expresarme, divertirme y que cuado lo lea pasado un tiempo pueda decir: ¡me gusta mi blog! Y eso es algo que tengo la suerte de poder decir de mi galería de Flickr.
My "winter" ended long ago, but I still have no a lot of activity on social networks. In part due to my ability to have increasingly less time without actually doing anything useful (I'm a mess T_T), and partly to a certain reluctance to Flickr since qualified my photo gallery as "restricted", the same level as the hardest pornography. This is very easy to fix, all I have to do is open a new Flickr account and my gallery will be "safe" again. But I will not do it, or do not want to do exactly that, partly as a matter of dignity and partly a question of identity as Melisa. Anyway I've always used Flickr as my blog, and maybe it's time to have a real blog. Not just Flickr, all social networks in one or another way leave us unprotected to any complaint for being a crossdresser girls. So when finished my "winter" decided to create a blog that will become my main site on the net, my touchstone. That site until now was this Flickr gallery. That does not mean I will leave this account, far from it, I still with my friends exactly the same, I going to participate and I will upload things whenever I can, only just my way of focusing this account will be different and will revolve around my blog. In addition, Flickr with this latest change has become very photographic, otherwise logical thing and it's not bad. Maybe even open another account "safe".
This is the link that takes you to my blog:
melisagarciablog.blogspot.com.es/
is still under construction, and making of it something I like is very fun.
This blog does not pursue to have many visitors, or comments or "like" or anything like that. With this blog I just want to express myself, have fun and when, pass time, I read it I can say: I like my blog! And that is something that I have the good fortune to be able to say of my Flickr gallery.
Unfortunately my blog for now is only in spanish, but perhaps soon also have entries in english ... or something fairly similar to english XD and always have pictures or videos each entry, for sure, and for that you do not need language XDD
PS. Si quieres ver un video con este look (If you want see a video with this look) :
Good morning Sunshine. Good morning Soul. Good Morning Earth. Good Morning Mist.
A peaceful morning, woken up by the sounds of the birds chirping and the cold breeze passing above the sleeping bag; the warm body within shudders awakened with a cold kiss of morning due. Taking in the first mountain breath; breathing in fresh air witnessing the rest of the world awakened from a distance.

An old lady sat right in front of me, by a window side of a train compartment. She wore aristocracy like no other; around 75-80 years old, travelling alone from Kolkata. Her son would receive her from the station. She was communicating with her son over the cell phone. She was on the edge of her mood, at times relaxed and sometimes fidgety, as the train was running late. She was an expressive woman, as her gestures reflected her mood. She was ignorant about everything happening in the compartment, as she was eager to reach the station on time. I took a few shots of her gestures with my cell phone camera, secretly. They turned out to be pretty productive, as natural documentation of one’s body languages.
