A half-open bud of Rosa ‘Prosperity’ against the winter's blue sky. The petals present a crapy texture and a soft pink touch in this season. This bud will not fully open until it fades away.

Mount Nemrut is a 2,134-metre-high mountain in southeastern Turkey, notable for the summit where a number of large statues are erected around what is assumed to be a royal tomb from the 1st century BC.

 

It is one of the highest peaks in the east of the Taurus Mountains.

 

It was added to the UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1987. The entry states: The mausoleum of Antiochus I (69–34 B.C.), who reigned over Commagene, a kingdom founded north of Syria and the Euphrates after the breakup of Alexander's empire, is one of the most ambitious constructions of the Hellenistic period. The syncretism of its pantheon, and the lineage of its kings, which can be traced back through two sets of legends, Greek and Persian, is evidence of the dual origin of this kingdom's culture.

Eternal One: I am in control—calm and serene.

I am watching quietly from where I dwell

Just as surely as the heat shimmers in the blazing sun

and the dewy mists cool the warmth of a harvest day.

 

For even before the harvest begins, when the buds blossom

and the flowers make way for the ripening grapes,

God will cut back their shoots with pruning shears,

lop off and clear away the spreading branches. ~ Isaiah 18: 4-5

 

“It’s because I want you to remember that character counts. You can be the best there ever was at something, but if you have no character, what do you have? On the other hand, if you have very little as far as accomplishments but you have character, well, then you’re all right in my book.”

― Chris Fabry, Dogwood

Church of Our Lady of Kruvenica, situated nearby to Dr. Josip Avelini Park and the town fortress Ć panjola in Hvar :)

 

Hvar is a town and port on the island of Hvar. It has a long and distinguished history as center for trade and culture in the Adriatic. A commune, part of the Venetian Empire during the 13th to 18th centuries, it was an important naval base with a strong fortress above, encircling the town walls and protecting the port. Cultural life thrived as prosperity grew, and Hvar is the site of one of the oldest surviving theatres in Europe, opened in 1612. The seven-hundred-year-old walls still survive, as do many of the noble houses and public buildings from 15th – 17th centuries. Today, the town has a variety of hotels, galleries, museums, and exhibitions, including the Arsenal, Loggia, the Croatian Institute, and the Hvar Heritage Museum with its art and archaeological collections.

For MACRO MONDAYS, this week’s theme: "Currency".

 

The Coin (1 inch in Diameter) in the front with Chinese Character äčŸéš†é€šćݶ was a kind of cash coins produced under the reign of the Qianlong Emperor of the Qing dynasty (1735 to 1796).

 

The gold ingot behind the coin called Yuanbao ć…ƒćŻ¶, was also a currency used in the first dynasty of Imperial China from 221 to 206 BC.

 

At the present days, they remain a symbol of wealth and prosperity and are commonly depicted during the Chinese New Year festivities.

 

As today is Chines New Year's Eve, I wish my Flickr friends a healthy and prosperous year!

 

HMM!

"Prosperity", a traditional Yorkshire fishing coble, hauled up on the beach at North Landing, Flamborough Head, Yorkshire.

also sounding like "lucky gold" in Chinese, kumkwat is a symbol of good fortune and prosperity.

 

It is a Chinese tradition to place a pot of fully bloomed kumkwat at home during the festive season.

This beaver series is from my photography archives. It is a beautiful representation of Canada's iconic beaver.

--

The beaver was given official status as an emblem of Canada when an Act to provide for the recognition of the beaver ( castor canadensis ) as a symbol of the sovereignty of Canada received royal assent on March 24, 1975.

In Native American cultures, the beaver is often seen as a symbol of prosperity and abundance. The beaver's furry coat is also said to represent physical and spiritual warmth. The beaver's lodge is another important symbol. They design the structure with great care to protect the beaver's family from harm.

Memory of a good companion lost last week, never did like his pic being taken, gone but not forgotten

Guang Fu Temple

 

The temple, which is a mix of modern and Art Deco architecture styles, is believed to be over 100 years old.

 

It started out as a small wooden temple with Tua Pek Kong as its resident deity.

 

Over the years, the temple was renovated and extended but some of its original furnishings such as the ornately carved wooden altar and the statues of the deities were maintained.

 

Today, other than the Tua Pek Kong, devotees can also offer prayers to other deities such as the Goddess of Mercy and Buddha in the temple.

Obernai commune in the Bas-Rhin department in Alsace in north-eastern France. It lies on the eastern slopes of the Vosges mountains. The Obernai name first appears in 1240, when the village acquires the status of town under the tutelage of the Hohenstaufen family. The town then prospered. It became a member of the DĂ©capole in 1354, an alliance of ten towns of the Holy Roman Empire in Alsace. The Thirty Years' War (1618–48) damaged the town, which was occupied by the Imperial troops, then by the Swedes. The town was ransomed and ceded to France in 1679, and started to recover some of its prosperity, without totally recapturing its former glory. The town was annexed by Germany in 1871 with the rest of Alsace, then returned to France after World War I in 1918.
