"Der August"
(Erich Kästner)
Nun hebt das Jahr die Sense hoch
und mäht die Sommertage wie ein Bauer.
Wer sät, muß mähen.
Und wer mäht, muß säen.
Nichts bleibt, mein Herz. Und alles ist von Dauer.
Stockrosen stehen hinterm Zaun
in ihren alten, brüchigseidnen Trachten.
Die Sonnenblumen, üppig, blond und braun,
mit Schleiern vorm Gesicht, schaun aus wie Frau'n,
die eine Reise in die Hauptstadt machten.
Wann reisten sie? Bei Tage kaum.
Stets leuchteten sie golden am Stakete.
Wann reisten sie? Vielleicht im Traum?
Nachts, als der Duft vom Lindenbaum
an ihnen abschiedssüß vorüberwehte?
In Büchern liest man groß und breit,
selbst das Unendliche sei nicht unendlich.
Man dreht und wendet Raum und Zeit.
Man ist gescheiter als gescheit, -
das Unverständliche bleibt unverständlich.
Ein Erntewagen schwankt durchs Feld.
Im Garten riecht's nach Minze und Kamille.
Man sieht die Hitze. Und man hört die Stille.
Wie klein ist heut die ganze Welt!
Wie groß und grenzenlos ist die Idylle ...
Nichts bleibt, mein Herz. Bald sagt der Tag Gutnacht.
Sternschnuppen fallen dann, silbern und sacht,
ins Irgendwo, wie Tränen ohne Trauer.
Dann wünsche Deinen Wunsch, doch gib gut acht!
Nichts bleibt, mein Herz. Und alles ist von Dauer.

La Valle del Noce (Basilicata) è particolarmente rilevante per le vicende storiche legate alla collocazione strategica lungo le strade di congiungimento di Sicilia e Calabria con le regioni centro-settendrionali; per la bellezza del territorio sul mare (Maratea) e della parte interna (Lagonegro, Lauria, Nemoli, Rivello, Tracchina).
This view had been on my wish list for a long time and am very happy to have had a chance to capture it.
A before work shot - left my hotel at 4:30 AM and then had fingers crossed I would get some color in the sky. Got back to the hotel at 7:30 AM, quick shower and then into work.
The bottom of the region of Mani, Cape Tainaron with the half-moon bays of Marmari and Porto Kayio on either side of the middle finger of the Peloponnese. This is the south-east end of continental Europe.
The cape took its name from the mythical hero and son of Zeus, Taenarus, who was believed to have built a town named after himself at the narrow isthmus located near the tip of the peninsula.
Here is the Cave of Hades, the gate to the Underworld where Hercules descended to kidnap and bring Cerberus to Earth for his twelfth labour and Orpheus to bring back to life his beloved wife, Eurydice.

Builit in 1846 and recently renovated, the temple is beautiful to see and required the right lighting to be captured.
There are a total of 37 golden spires that symbolize the 37 virtues that are required to reach enlightenment.
Monastery - Nilova Hermitage. Tver region. Russia.
The monastery dates back to 1528, from the moment of the arrival of the Monk Nile on the island of Stolobny, on Lake Seliger.
A few years later, after the presentation of the Monk Nil of Stolobensky, in 1594, a Blessing was given for the opening of the monastery of the Nilov Pustyn.
In the 18-19 centuries, the Nilova Pustyn Monastery was one of the largest cultural centers in Russia, with a huge library, educational institutions, with its own large production of goods and products.
It was in the Nilova desert that Leonty Magnitsky, a mathematician and teacher, studied under whom, later, the Great Lomonosov studied. Nilova Hermitage was visited by many great people, including Emperor Alexander I and Russian President Vladimir Putin.
After the blasphemous looting and partial destruction of the monastery by the Bolsheviks, the buildings were used as a colony for minors, as a prisoner of war camp, as a military hospital, as a camp site. When all the buildings of the monastery fell into disrepair and could no longer be used, without major repairs, by the Council of Ministers of the RSFSR, in 1990, the monastery complex was transferred to the Moscow Patriarchate of the Russian Orthodox Church.
2016 marks the 25th anniversary of the revival of the Nilo-Stolobensky Monastery. Ahead, there are still colossal works to restore the former splendor of the holy monastery. But already now, the Nilo-Stolobenskaya hermitage is the pearl of the Tver diocese. Even in spite of all the destruction that befell from the godless power, this monastery with all this lies before us in all its beauty and grandeur of the genius of architecture, the pious ancestors of the Russian land.
Today, the monastery, thanks to the governor Archimandrite Arkady (Gubanov), is being successfully restored by the brethren and already has its own autonomous production of products, which is in great demand among pilgrims and local residents.

Wat Saket is a Buddhist temple in the Bangkok Old Town area built 1737–1809. There are 300 steps to the top, but for me, the golden view was from the ground.

Sunset on Jungfrau Region near Grindelwald, Interlaken-Oberhasli administrative district, canton of Bern, Switzerland
The village of Grindelwald is nestled in a unique and impressive Alpine landscape. The Wetterhorn, Schreckhorn, Eiger, Mönch and Jungfrau form the ice-capped mountain scenery of the glacier village.
Thanks to its magnificent vista and the glacier which once reached right into the basin, Grindelwald attracted its first guests – primarily the English – from the end of the 18th century onwards. The actual breakthrough of Alpinism occurred in the mid 19th century, and local mountain guides climbed the peaks of the region with English tourists. The first ascent of the Eiger, the most difficult of Alpine mountains took place in 1858 (the north face only in 1938).
Road and railway construction made Grindelwald much more accessible towards the end of the 19th century, which in turn also heralded the onset of winter tourism. The first cableway in the Alps was built here in 1908 on the Wetterhorn. And in 1912, a railway reached the Jungfraujoch via Kleine Scheidegg; today the «Top of Europe» still remains Europe’s highest railway station and a world-renowned excursion destination within permanent snow and ice.
There's the township in my region that is famous because of its natural healing waters. They have some sanatoriums and rest zones etc. But this is just a nice location as well. Every time I visit this town the weather doesn't let me take photos I want. And finally, we've visited it at the right time.

Inameh prevé este miércoles abundante nubosidad en la Región Central t.co/HTmY7cnmpo #acn (via Twitter twitter.com/AgenciaCN/status/811560544050249728)
En pleno centro de la Ciudad de Murcia, en la Plaza de Santo Domingo, se encuentra la Iglesia de Santo Domingo y la contigua Capilla del Rosario son las construcciones que quedan de un antiguo conjunto monástico de la Orden Dominica.
Su origen se sitúa en el Siglo XIII, aunque el conjunto actualmente conservado corresponde al Siglo XVI, lo que es la Capilla, y al Siglo XVIII, lo que es la Iglesia.
El monasterio sufrió la Desamortización de Mendizábal del año 1.836 que supuso su extinción y la desaparición del conjunto a excepción de las citadas Iglesia y capilla; y ya en la segunda mitad del Siglo XIX fue cedida a los jesuitas, quienes siguen rigiendo hoy día el templo.
... Et que vive la musique!!! ...
Festival "Des Voiles de Travail" à Granville (dans la Manche en Normandie)
Situado en la región centro septentrional de la isla. Limita al norte con el Municipio de Trujillo Alto, al este con Carolina y Juncos, al sur con San Lorenzo y al oeste con Caguas, del cual lo separa el Río Grande de Loíza. Antiguamente Gurabo era un barrio de Caguas.
Gurabo es conocido como "El Pueblo de las Escaleras", fue fundado el 28 de noviembre de 1814. El nombre de Gurabo significa voz taína. Y hay una teoría de que el nombre proviene del Río Cayarabón que era también llamado Burabo. La historia de Gurabo se remonta a cuando este municipio pertenecía al llamado Hato Grande de San Sebastián que alcanzaba todo el valle de Caguas. El 17 de noviembre de 1812, unos 168 vecinos de Gurabo promovieron la fundación del pueblo y su parroquia y el 28 de noviembre se obtiene el poder para fundar el pueblo.
