Representa a Latona, madre de Apolo y Diana siendo increpada por los hombres que como castigo se van convirtiendo en ranas.
Historia:Este conjunto de mármol esculpido por los hermanos Marsy en 1670 es una las obras más famosas de Versalles y representa a Latona y sus hijos, dando nombre al estanque sobre el que se erige. Inspirado en Las metamorfosis de Ovidio, el estanque de Latona ilustra la metamorfosis de los campesinos de Licia en anfibios tras haber impedido a la diosa y a sus hijos Diana y Apolo beber en un estanque. El estanque y el parterre que lo rodean –diseñado por André Le Nôtre– fueron íntegramente restaurados en el año 2015.
Fado is currently a world wide known symbol of Portugal, being represented for many years in foreign countries by Amália Rodrigues, and more recently by Dulce Pontes, Mariza and Katia Guerreiro, among others. Throughout the world, to the name of Portugal, there were two things immediately referred: the Fado and soccer. Although taking many forms, as it is sung differently in Porto, Coimbra and Lisbon, the Fado is, by self-earned right, the very expression of the Portuguese soul.

Amália Rodrigues known as the 'Rainha do Fado' ("Queen of Fado") was instrumental in popularising fado worldwide and travelled internationally throughout her career. Amália remains the best-selling Portuguese artist in history.

The Portuguese guitar or Portuguese guitarra (Portuguese: guitarra portuguesa) is a plucked string instrument with twelve steel strings, strung in six courses of two strings. It is one of the few musical instruments that still uses watch-key or Preston tuners. It is iconically associated with the musical genre known as Fado, and is now an icon for anything Portuguese.
The drinks in the back ground:
Beer lovers who come to Portugal are often disappointed by the range of Portuguese beers that are on offer. Essentially, there are just two: Super Bock and Sagres. Although they do taste different, enough that most people form a preference for one or the other, they’re both the same style of beer: a light-bodied pale lager.
Ginginha: If you are planning to visit Lisbon, Portugal, you will certainly run into a hole-in-the-wall shop selling shots of “ginginja, ” also known as ginginha or ginja, is a sour cherry liquor native to Portugal, particularly central Portugal around Lisbon and the town of Óbidos. Ginginja is 100% Portuguese and you will not find ginginja anywhere else!
Licor Beirão, is a Portuguese liqueur from the Beira region of Portugal. Originating in the 19th century, it’s a herbal liqueur flavoured with multiple botanicals, herbs and spices. It’s pretty popular in Portugal where it can be drank neat, in cocktails, in your coffee, and even in recipes for desserts and sweets. The exact recipe is still a family secret, but it’s known to include eucalyptus, cinnamon, rosemary, lavender, aniseed and mint.

* Castillo de Medellín. Medellín. Provincia de Badajoz. Extremadura. Ruta de los Conquistadores. España.
* El Castillo de Medellín comenzó siendo un campamento romano en 74 d.C. En el siglo XIII se convirtió en una fortaleza medieval. Después de la reconquista del castillo en el año 1234 por Fernando III el Santo, perteneció a varios dueños durante el siglo XIV. El castillo lo reconstruyó el rey Enrique II, en el año 1357, si bien no alcanzó su forma definitiva hasta la segunda mitad del siglo XV. Entre los años 1475 y 1479, tomó parte a favor de Juana la Beltraneja al igual que la mayoría de la nobleza extremeña.
Se encuentra emplazado sobre una colina junto al río Guadiana. Fue declarado monumento histórico artístico y bien de interés cultural en 1931.
* Nada mejor para evocar esta foto que un fragmento del texto poético que Francisco García escribió sobre el mismo.
…El Castillo de Medellín, cual otro Arca Bíblico colocado en la cima de un montículo, es algo así como otro signo representativo de una historia que es fortaleza, que es heroísmo, que es religión, que es poesía, que es drama, que es cementerio, que sintetiza una gama de matices difícil de sintetizar en unas cuartillas periodísticas…
(FRANCISCO GARCÍA. El Castillo de Medellín.)
The picture represents the feelings and point of view of the intelligence behind the camera. This disease of our age is boredom and a good photographer must combat it. The way to do this is by invention – by surprise. When I say a good picture has surprise value I mean that it stimulates my thinking and intrigues me. The best way to achieve surprise quality is by avoiding clichés. Imitation is the greatest danger of the young photographer.

Bird in freedom. La Ceja, Colombia; Central Andes; 2.300 meters above sea level.
Momotus aequatorialis (Andean motmot / Barranquero)
The Andean Motmot, as the English name implies, is the Andean representative of the "Blue-crowned Motmot" complex. For many years, all members of this group were considered to be conspecific, but this group now is reclassified as representing five different species. The Andean Motmot occurs in humid montane forests of the Andes mountains of South America, from Colombia south to Bolivia. Andean motmot is a big bird about 50 cm from beak to tail.
These birds often sit still, and in their dense forest habitat can be difficult to see, despite their size. They eat small prey such as insects and lizards, and will also regularly take fruit.
Los aficionados que hacemos fotografía de paisaje representamos lo que vemos de una manera, más o menos, fiel. A veces, oscurecemos alguna parte o toda la fotografía, o alteramos un poco el color, para que aparezca más atractiva y bella, lo que no siempre conseguimos. Pero si se utiliza la línea o el color por sí mismos, sin el propósito de representar la realidad, hablamos de fotografía abstracta y la imagen se reduce a un juego de formas, luces y colores. Esta era una foto tomada con niebla y a contraluz en un pinar, que al revelarla no me decía nada, así que para probar otras cosas he jugado con el desenfoque, el color y el contraste.
Pulsando L y F11 se ve mejor.

The remembrance poppy is an artificial flower that has been used since 1921 to commemorate military personnel who have died in war, and represents a common or field poppy, Papaver rhoeas. Inspired by the World War I poem "In Flanders Fields", and promoted by Moina Michael, they were first adopted by the American Legion to commemorate American soldiers killed in that war. They were then adopted by military veterans' groups in parts of the British Empire.
Today, they are mostly used in the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia and New Zealand, to commemorate their servicemen and women killed in all conflicts. There, small artificial poppies are often worn on clothing leading up to Remembrance Day/Armistice Day. Poppy wreaths are often laid at war memorials. In Australia and New Zealand, they are also worn on Anzac Day.
... but we do not represent hope for them!
Let us keep the flowers in the soil; no plucking!

Painted ceramic benches representing all the provinces in Spain are arranged round the square.
It was built because of the Ibero-american Exhibition of 1929, held in Seville. Its creator was Aníbal González. He mixed a style inspired by the Renaissance with typical elements from the city: exposed brick, ceramics and wrought iron (worked by Domingo Prida). Its floor plan is semicircular. It is dominated by 2 towers, one on each side of the enclosed area, which frame the central building where the main rooms are. Between the two towers runs a network of galleries with an arcade of semicircular arches leading to exits in different parts of the square, where a fountain stands.
WORK represents my hollyhocks. A beautiful surprise in my letter box ! Thank you so much Françoise !
Merci beaucoup Françoise!
le cliché représente 1/3 ou 1/4 de la petite ile qu elles occupent d un bout à l autre. avec les mouettes rieuses
Mouette rieuse (beaucoup plus commune). En période de reproduction, la Mouette mélanocéphale possède une tête noire, le contour de l’oeil blanc et le bec rouge. En hiver, la tête devient presque entièrement blanche si ce n’est un bandeau grisâtre en arrière de l’œil. En toute saison, le dos et le dessus des ailes sont gris clair, les rémiges, tout comme le dessous du corps, sont blanc pur.Migratrice partielle, elle hiverne essentiellement sur les côtes atlantiques et méditerranéennes.La Mouette mélanocéphale ne se reproduit en France que depuis 1965 (Camargue). Cet oiseau est en fait originaire de la Mer Noire, mais depuis les années 1940, ses populations se sont déplacées vers l’ouest de l’Europe.On observe également de la nidification sur quelques étangs. Ces îles sont généralement couvertes de plantes herbacées et sont suffisamment éloignées du bord pour éviter toute prédation terrestre.
The Thurisaz rune (ᚦ) represents the ability to confront obstacles, the strength to endure adversity, and the protection of mighty forces. Like the thorn it symbolizes, this rune reminds you that true strength lies not just in attack, but in defense and resilience. It suggests that you have the inner fortitude to face any challenge that stands in your way, urging you to stand firm and embrace your power.
Thurisaz is a rune of both conflict and transformation, showing that through struggle, growth is achieved. It calls on you to harness your inner strength wisely, channeling your energy to break through barriers and drive positive change. More than just a force of destruction, Thurisaz is a guardian—its presence in your path signifies that you are not alone, as unseen forces shield and guide you. Whether in battle, personal trials, or major life transitions, this rune is a reminder that your resilience is your greatest weapon, and through perseverance, victory is within reach.
"Thurisaz is the force that breaks and the strength that endures—embrace the storm, for it forges the warrior within."
Taking artistic license here, using a delightful illustration that was done by Eleanor Tomlinson. This is for the ANSH scavenger19 "represent a book".
I really think someone needs to write a book about Paddington having tea with the Queen on her birthday!! Or her Platinum Jubilee

Represented in a warrior's pose and costume this shaman battles opposing forces with his magic arrows. The hero stands on a snuff tablet used to inhale hallucinogec substances that facilitated his passage over the threshold of consciousness.
Representing the three lions in the menagerie of Henry lll at The Tower of London in the 13th century and included on his crest. Still visible to this day on the England football shirt.
There was a zoo here until the 19th century when animal welfare concerns saw the remaining animals transferred to more suitable accommodation in the new London Zoo at Regents Park.
Las Alondras y todos los representantes de su familia los alaudidos, son cada día mas escasos,
Habitantes de espacios abiertos, sufren como otras tantas especies de aves, la explotación intensiva de muchos pastizales.
Campos de cultivo de cereales de crecimiento rápido que se siegan antes de que las aves puedan haber terminado su ciclo reproductor y rociados de herbicidas y pesticidas que envenenan a sus presas, la verdad es que no lo tienen fácil para sobrevivir.
Sin embargo, bastan que en esos cultivos intensivos, se dejen pequeñas parcelas de terrenos sin sembrar, donde crezcan las mal llamadas malas hierbas y no se echen tantos pesticidas y herbicidas a los cultivos, que al final también nosotros los terminamos ingiriendo y acumulando en nuestros tejidos, para que las alondras y demás aves habitantes de estos espacios, pudiesen criar y alimentarse.
¿Estaremos dispuestos a ello?.
En algunos lugares se hace con resultados muy buenos en lo referente a los aguiluchos cenizos y pálidos,
Ojala esa sensibilidad cada vez este mas presente, pero tengo muchas dudas de ello.
En la foto una Alondra común (Alauda arvensis) .
Saludos.

That number represents the consecutive days in a row I have taken a photograph. My interest in photography hasn't ebbed if anything, it has become stronger and I find myself constantly looking for ways to improve my images. The only problem I have is all the time and effort focused on this task, I was hoping I would get faster and more efficient. As with anything worthwhile you get out of it what you put into it so I will continue to give it my best efforts because anything worth doing is worth doing well.
Happy Tuesday - my girlie is graduating from Kindergarten today so I'm sure there will be lots of tears and many photos taken! I am less worried about making my family images perfect, they are documentary style.
It represents beauty.
Its petals represents the gentle feelings we have for each other.
Its leaves represents the outstretched arms, loving and giving.
Its roots grow long and deep, gaining strength in every length and depth

Wampeler (represent winter) in their typical bent forward position with a stick in their hand, moving carefully on the street. The riders (represent spring) try to lay them with their back on the street. Axams, Tyrol 2018.
Las Tablas son uno de los últimos representantes de un ecosistema denominado tablas fluviales que se forman al desbordarse los ríos en sus tramos medios, favorecidos por fenómenos de semiendorreísmo y la escasez de pendientes. El humedal se forma en la confluencia del río Guadiana y su afluente Cigüela y es uno de los ecosistemas acuáticos más importantes de la península ibérica por la variedad y calidad de la fauna y flora que habitan en ella, así como por aquellas aves que la emplean en los pasos migratorios. Las Tablas sirve de refugio a más de 2.000 especies (plantas, aves, insectos, peces, réptiles... ).
Sin embargo, la supervivencia del parque peligra debido a la sobreexplotación de los acuíferos. Debido a esta degradación, el 22 de octubre de 2009 la Comisión Europea abre un expediente a España,6 mientras que la Unesco ya había expresado con anterioridad la posibilidad de retirar la figura de Reserva de la Biosfera. La Unesco abrió un expediente contra España a instancias de la denuncia presentada en noviembre de 2007 por las organizaciones ecologistas (Ecologistas en Acción, Greenpeace, SEO/BirdLife y WWF); en ella se argumentaba que la Reserva de la Biosfera de La Mancha Húmeda y, en especial, Las Tablas de Daimiel, presentaban un alto nivel de degradación que suponía la pérdida de los valores que las habían hecho merecedoras de la calificación como Reserva de la Biosfera.

Il représente un obélisque encadré par deux aigles, décapités depuis. Il comportait à l’origine deux stèles. Sur la première, on peut encore lire l’inscription :
« DEN GEFALLENEN DER 13. RES.-DIVISION GEWIDMET VON IHREM KOMMANDEUR UND IHREN KAMARADEN 1914-15 »
(« Aux morts de la 13e Division de Réserve 1914-1915 leur commandant et leur camarades »).
Holi represents the arrival of spring and the triumph of good over evil. It is also said to be the enactment of a game the Hindu god Lord Krishna played with his consort Radha and the gopis, or milkmaids. The story represents the fun and flirtatiousness of the gods but also touches on deeper themes: of the passing of the seasons and the illusory nature of the material world.
Millions of Indians celebrated Monday the Hindu Holi festival all over india, dancing to festive music, exchanging food and drink and smearing each other with red, green, blue and pink powder, turning the air into a joyful kaleidoscope of color..From red to green to indigo, each color provides festival-goers with a sense of beauty, ritual and tradition.
If you land in India anytime in late February or March, it’s wise to check the dates of the annual Holi festival, and bring a spare set of clothes. That’s because for a few days in spring, people crowd the streets and splash brilliantly colored dyes on anyone walking by. “The colors never come out of your clothes,” he said. “And you might be having purple hair for many days. It is a complete liability.” It’s hard to avoid the fun—and paint—unless you stay inside or look menacing enough to discourage the custom.

Danse macabre :
La chapelle de Kermaria est, avec l'église de Kernascléden (Morbihan), le seul sanctuaire de Bretagne à posséder une fresque représentant ce thème de l'art macabre du Moyen Âge. Cette fresque comportant 47 figures d'environ 1,3 m de haut, avait été recouverte de badigeon au XVIIIe siècle, et remise au jour en 1856 par Charles de Taillart. La réalisation de cette fresque est située entre 1488 et 1501, soit environ un demi-siècle après celle du cloître des Innocents à Paris.

Image taken by Vik and representing quite well what 2 weeks of Iceland has been. Nevertheless, the expected “bad” weather provided some unexpected dramatic moments and shifts in mood which presented real challenges to be captured and worked on to display my images in a proper way.

SITIO HISTÓRICO DE WATERMILLS DE SAULT-AU-RÉCOLLET - Montreal, Canadá.
- Estructura conmemorativa que representa la ubicación original de la chimenea Watermills del pueblo de Sault-au-Récollet, así como a todos los propietarios del sitio Mills a lo largo de los años. Desde 1726 Simon Sicard construyó para los sulpicianos una presa y un aserradero en la Rivière des Prairies. Los molinos se utilizaron para diversos fines: molino de grano, trituradora, sierra, clavos, cardado y papel gris, algunos hasta 1970. El sitio histórico fue creado en 1998 por la Communauté urbaine de Montréal para resaltar todo el complejo industrial Watermill.

- Commemorative structure representing the original location of the Sault-au-Récollet village Watermills fireplace as well as all the owners of the Mills site through the years. Since 1726 Simon Sicard built for the Sulpicians a dam and a sawmill on the Rivière des Prairies. The mills were used for various purposes: grain mill, grist, saw, nails, carding and gray paper, some until 1970. The historical site was created in 1998 by Communauté urbaine de Montréal to highlight all of the Watermill industrial complex.

Structure commémorative représentant l'emplacement d'origine de la cheminée des Moulins à eau du village de Sault-au-Récollet, ainsi que tous les propriétaires du site au travers les années. En 1726, Simon Sicard débute la construction, d'une digue et d'un moulin à scie pour les Sulpiciens, sur la rivière des Prairies. Les moulins furent utilisés à des fins diverses: moulin à grains, à farine, à scie, à clous, à carder et à papier gris, certains jusqu'en 1970. Pour mettre en valeur l'ensemble de ce complexe industriel, la Communauté urbaine de Montréal crée en 1998 le site des moulins.
A wonderful survivor, representing the condition of so many MK2 Escorts and other 70s cars on their last legs in the late 80s and early 90s. For me, spotting a rough example like this is far more appealing than seeing a restored or modified one. The car has done very little mileage in recent years, which has no doubt helped preserve it.
