...molti di noi hanno un velo addosso, un velo che nasconde parti di noi stessi, che siano brutte, belle forse le migliori, forse le peggiori, momenti di sofferenza o difficoltà...
e ancora molti di noi, non sempre buttano a terra questo velo, perchè alla fine un pò potrebbe attutire la caduta, ma forse a volte se non ce lo leviamo, cadiamo e ci facciamo più male...

This female Goshawk is protecting her two small ones. The nest is in a nearby tree, when she hear some strange sound she will quickly get alert. The nature is so beautiful!!
The Pigeon Point Lighthouse has stood proud and (115 feet) tall since 1872, the year it began to guide mariners from its perch on a 35-foot cliff in Pescadero.
Each lighthouse has its own distinctive light pattern which makes it identifiable to passing ships. Ship captains carry a "light list" of the various patterns, and thus can use the signal to help determine their location. As the Pigeon Point lighthouse's Fresnel lens rotated around the light source, it produced a flash pattern of light every 10 seconds. An automated Aero beacon was installed in 1972, but the 10-second light pattern is still maintained today.
Each November the original Fresnel lens is lit on the anniversary of it's first lighting.

Un abbraccio. Un gesto antico quanto l'umanità, il cui significato va al di là dell'incontro di due corpi. Un abbraccio vuol dire: "Non sei una minaccia, non ho paura di starti così vicino, posso rilassarmi, sentirmi protetto e comprendere che c'è una persona in grado di capirmi".

Earth Day is an annual event, celebrated on April 22, on which events are held worldwide to demonstrate support for environmental protection. It was first celebrated in 1970, and is now coordinated globally by the Earth Day Network www.earthday.org/ and celebrated in more than 192 countries each year.
In 1969 at a UNESCO Conference in San Francisco, peace activist John McConnell proposed a day to honor the Earth and the concept of peace, to first be celebrated on March 21, 1970, the first day of spring in the northern hemisphere. This day of nature's equipoise was later sanctioned in a Proclamation written by McConnell and signed by Secretary General U Thant at the United Nations. A month later a separate Earth Day was founded by United States Senator Gaylord Nelson as an environmental teach-in first held on April 22, 1970. Nelson was later awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom Award in recognition of his work. While this April 22 Earth Day was focused on the United States, an organization launched by Denis Hayes, who was the original national coordinator in 1970, took it international in 1990 and organized events in 141 nations. Numerous communities celebrate Earth Week, an entire week of activities focused on environmental issues.

Elephant mother and calf - Naboisho Conservancy, Maasai Mara, Kenya
________
Mother elephants invest a very great deal in their offspring - a 22 month long pregnancy and up to three years of suckling. The bond between mother and calf is exceptionally strong, probably the closest relationship of any animal on Earth. Calves look to their mothers for care, nourishment, wisdom and protection and, if the calf is female, the relationship will be maintained for as long as both are alive.

The Hondsbossche Zeewering is one of the highest dykes in the world dikes. This gigantic dike connects the dunes between Kamperduin and Petten and protects the Zijper Polder against water. This Polder is over 400 years old and is the oldest part of the Netherlands which is drained. Over the dike, which is nearly 6 km long, you can enjoy hiking, cycling or running next to the North Sea. Petten could have been founded in 739. The name refers to the three wells Dutch: putten which are located there. There was already a mention of a sand dike in 1388 between Petten and Callantsoog. In the St. Elizabeth's flood in 1421, Petten was entirely washed away, and the dunes were damaged. It ranks 10th in the list of top ten worst floods in history. A number of villages were swallowed by the flood and were lost, causing between 2,000 and 10,000 casualties. The dike breaks and floods caused widespread devastation in Zeeland and Holland. An additional sleeper dike was built behind the dunes in 1432 and from 1506 active coastal defense took place. Even so, more than 100 houses were washed away in 1625, plus the church of Petten. The construction of the Hondsbossche zeewering began in 1793. Strengthening the dike using sand seems to be the best option and can count on a lot of support because in this way a lovely beach will be created with new possibilities for nature, recreation and water sports. Experts in the field of coastal protection confirm that spraying sand offers many benefits in the long term as well. The bike path along the coast is very much appreciated by the locals and tourists. North and south of the Hondsbossche Zeewering are many kilometers of bike paths, through the beautiful dunes, with its forests, sand dunes and heaths.
The embankment of the Hondsbossche Zeewering - dyke stands between the wind and the North Sea, and agricultural communities of Petten on the other side. The dyke was build after the the St. Elizabeth's flood in 1421. Petten was entirely washed away, and the dunes were damaged. Now it's is one of the highest dykes in the world dikes and a great place to enjoy hiking, cycling or running.
De Hondsbossche Zeewering is één van de hoogste dijken ter wereld. Deze gigantische dijk verbindt de duinen tussen Kamperduin en Petten en beschermd de Zijper Polder tegen het water. Deze Polder is meer dan 400 jaar oud en is daarmee het oudste stukje Nederland wat is drooggelegd. Over de dijk, die bijna 6 km lang is, kan men heerlijk wandelen, fietsen of hardlopen, direct aan de Noordzee. Dit fietspad langs de kust wordt zeer gewaardeerd door recreanten en toeristen. De provincie is daarin tegemoet gekomen aan de wens van bewoners. Ten noorden en zuiden van de Hondsbossche Zeewering liggen vele kilometers fietspaden, dwars door de schone duinen, met zijn bossen, zandverstuivingen en heidevelden. Bij de St. Elisabethsvloed van 1421 werden de duinen tussen Kamperduin en Petten weggeslagen. Na de storm werd er tussen de twee plaatsen een dijk aangelegd, de Hondsbossche Zeewering. Vermoedelijk werd de ramp veroorzaakt door een bijzonder zware noordwesterstorm, gevolgd door een zeer hoge stormvloed. Van springvloed zoals bij de Watersnood van 1953 was toen geen sprake, maar het natte weer was er de oorzaak van dat het opperwater afkomstig van de rivieren nog zeer hoog stond. De dijkdoorbraken en overstromingen richtten in Zeeland en Holland grote verwoestingen aan. Het aantal slachtoffers is in de loop van de tijd door mythevorming opgelopen tot 100.000. Schattingen geven aan dat mogelijk tussen tweeduizend en tienduizen mensen de dood vonden. Net als vele andere dorpen aan de Noord-Hollandse kust, is ook Petten herhaaldelijk landinwaarts herbouwd. De inwoners van Petten leefden van de visserij, landbouw en strandvonderij. In het algemeen was het leven in het oude Petten redelijk welvarend. De Hondsbossche Zeewering vormt één geheel met de veel kortere Pettemer Zeewering. Vlak langs de dijk ligt het vogelreservaat De Putten. Dit gebied is een geliefde broed- en overnachtingsplaats voor verschillende vogelsoorten. Om die reden is het gebied dan ook niet vrij toegankelijk. In het domein liggen ondiepe vijvertjes, die zijn ontstaan door het afgraven van grond ten behoeve van herstellingen aan de Hondsbossche Zeewering.
Le donne provano la temperatura del ferro da stiro toccandolo. Brucia ma non si bruciano. Respirano forte quando l’ostetrica dice “non urli, non è mica la prima”. Imparano a cantare piangendo, a sciare con le ossa rotte. Portano i figli in braccio per giorni in certe traversate del deserto, dei mari sui barconi, della città a piedi su e giù per gli autobus. Le donne hanno più confidenza col dolore. È un compagno di vita, è un nemico tanto familiare da esser quasi amico. Ci si vive, è normale. Strillare disperde le energie, lamentarsi non serve. Trasformarlo, invece: ecco cosa serve. Trasformare il dolore in forza. È una lezione antica, una sapienza muta e segreta: ciascuna lo sa.
((Concita de Gregorio, “Malamore. Esercizi di resistenza al dolore”))
"Red Squirrel Protection" by Patti Deters. A red squirrel (Tamiasciurus hudsonicus) squirrel sits perched on a tree, protecting herself from the falling snow by taking refuge in the pine needles branches. The soft light creates a serene winter atmosphere, highlighting the tranquil scene. Thank you for viewing this image.
