La livrée du machaon se démarque par sa coloration de fond jaune intense tachée et veinée de noir. Les ailes antérieures portent dessus une large bordure noire avec une rangée de taches jaunes et un large miroir sombre poudré de jaune à l'angle des « épaules » ; le dessous reste dominé par le jaune avec des veines et des taches noires. Les ailes postérieures sont nettement plus jaunes dessus avec un bord crénelé, une chaîne de cellules jaunes surmontées d'une rangée de taches bleu sombre et un ocelle rouge, cerclé de noir et de bleu ; dessous, le jaune domine encore plus avec un fin réseau de nervures noires, les taches bleues doublées d'une tache rouge orange pour certaines d'entre elles. Reste le signe peut-être le plus distinctif : un prolongement, une « queue » qui s'insère dans le motif crénelé du bord, qui lui vaut le nom anglais de swallowtail (queue d'hirondelle).

The livery of the swallowtail is distinguished by its intense yellow background stained and veined black. The forewings carry a broad black border with a row of yellow spots and a large dark mirror powdered with yellow at the corner of the "shoulders"; the underside remains dominated by yellow with veins and black spots. The hindwings are much more yellow above with a crenate border, a chain of yellow cells surmounted by a row of dark blue spots and a red ocellus, circled with black and blue; below, the yellow dominates even more with a fine network of black veins, the blue spots doubled with an orange-red spot for some of them. Remains perhaps the most distinctive sign: an extension, a "tail" that fits into the crenellated edge pattern, which earned him the English name swallowtail (swallow's tail).
Despite the fact that no less an expert than Josiah Whitney, chief of the California Geologic Survey (1860-1874), and namesake of the highest peak in the continental United States, pronounced this peak as perfectly inaccessible, Half Dome has become one of the most popular hikes and climbs in the United States.
The single most iconic feature in Yosemite National Park, rising nearly 4800' above the floor of Yosemite Valley, the reality of Half-Dome is that it is not a round dome that has been sheared, but rather an arête (or part of a narrow rock ridge separating two valleys).
The Ahwahnechee pinhabitants of Yosemite valley called the mountain, Tis-sa-ack, meaning cleft rock. There are many legends surrounding this name, but suffice it to say the grandeur of this place supplants them all.
Because it is so iconic, Half Dome is the subject of millions of pictures (hundreds in my catalogue), this is one taken on a summer day from Glacier Point that I felt looked best in monochrome.
Pintoresca y transparente.
Sa Tuna es una de las calas más bonitas y pintorescas de la Costa Brava.
Situada en el municipio de Begur, en el corazón de la Costa Brava, Sa Tuna sorprende a sus visitantes por su pequeño tamaño (80m x 15m) y por su belleza paisajística.
Destaca la transparencia de sus aguas.
La cala tiene su origen en el barrio marinero del mismo nombre. Todavía hoy se conservan esas casitas, actualmente residencias vacacionales que no han perdido su encanto, que proporcionan una impresionante vista al mar.
Sa Tuna siempre resulta un descubrimiento insospechado para quien la visita.
En la salvaje costa escarpada del noroeste de Mallorca se encuentra en la zona de la Serra de Tramuntana, el pequeño pueblo costero de Sa Calobra.
Dos playas enmarcadas por espectaculares acantilados invitan a un refrescante baño en las aguas del mar mediterráneo. Con unos 100 metros de largo le espera la playa Torrent de Pareis, la cual se encuentra al final de un profundo desfiladero de torrentes.
Este también es el lugar, donde queda la rocosa y estrecha Platja de sa Calobra, la cual se extiende directamente frente a las últimas casas de piedra del pueblo con el mismo nombre.

Aquesta raconada tranquila de la Costa Brava, entre Tamariu i Aigua Xelida, s'anomena Sa Bassa.

Ja, en els primers instants la illa es va mostrar, amb mi, molt i molt generosa, el mar d'or es va convertir i per un forat, de la roca Sa Foradada, amb va mostrar la bellesa, la tranquilitat i la serenor....
Es ben probable que amb tanta illa, postal i històries us atabali massa, però a algú ho haig d'explicar.
Un detall del valor de la bellesa.

TERAPI-ENTRENANDO, PARA NO DESFALLECER. 👍💪💪💪💪💪💖💖
La isla Dragonera (Sa Dragonera en dialecto mallorquín) es un islote perteneciente al archipiélago de las Baleares, España.
Se encuentra situada al oeste de la isla de Mallorca y está protegida como espacio natural con la categoría de Parque natural.
Se cree que su nombre procede del vocablo latino traco(onis) (traconaria, dragonera) que significa "hendidura en la tierra, resquebrajamiento, pasos subterráneos" haciendo referencia a la hendidura con agua dulce en una cueva de la isla, y no –en contra de lo que parece– a "dragones" (que es el nombre que se da a las lagartijas en Baleares).

Wikipedia: Wat Sa Si (Thai: วัดสระศรี) is a small temple close to Ramkhamhaeng Monument. Wat Sa Si is beautifully situated in the midst of Traphang-Trakuan lake northwest of Wat Mahathat. Due to its location, the temple is one of the most beautiful place in Sukhothai. The temple has a Lanka styled stupa. The vihara of Wat Sa Si is situated on the east side of the stupa. Further east lies the ordination hall on its own little island. Also a large number of smaller stupas, of which today only the foundations are visible. Due to the similarities in structure and similar Bai Sema landmarks, it is believed today that Wat Sa Si were built at the same time of Wat Tra Kuan and Wat Chana Songkhram.
"Carretera de Sa Calobra: The best road in Spain?
Situated on Majorca’s north coast, the Carretera de Sa Calobra, which is the only way to access the small village of Port de Sa Calobra, was seemingly designed by a drunk. At least, that’s the impression you get when you first look at the hectic squiggles of lines on a map. In reality it’s an astounding display of engineering, as the builders have managed to create a road that takes you along a seemingly impenetrable mountain landscape".
