There is one spectacle grander than the sea, that is the sky; there is one spectacle grander than the sky, that is the interior of the soul.
Victor Hugo
Dans de nombreuses cultures, les vautours sont perçus comme des symboles de renouveau et de purification.
En nettoyant l’environnement des restes d’animaux morts, ils jouent un rôle crucial dans l’écosystème.
Leur vol majestueux est non seulement un spectacle à admirer, mais aussi un rappel de l’importance de la biodiversité et de la santé des écosystèmes.
En somme, le vol des vautours est une merveille de la nature qui illustre à quel point ces oiseaux sont adaptés à leur environnement et essentiels à l’équilibre écologique.

In many cultures, vultures are symbols of renewal and purification.
By clearing the environment of the remains of dead animals, they play a vital role in the ecosystem.
Their majestic flight is not only a sight to behold, but also a reminder of the importance of biodiversity and healthy ecosystems.
In short, the flight of vultures is a marvel of nature that illustrates the extent to which these birds are adapted to their environment and essential to the ecological balance.

It’s been amazing to share everyone’s excitement at seeing the Auroras created by the huge solar storm over the last few days - given how well publicized the rare G5 storm was thousands streamed out of Calgary to hold midnight picnics and experience this unique beauty in person. We only ventured 15 mins from home but the intensity of the Aurora meant light pollution and clouds only added to the beauty.

Unknown woman at an exhibition of public art.
The 'beam' is a series of spinning cords, illuminated with LEDs at either end. It's quite a spectacle.

And she with all naturalness took the square and was done by the public by his, unexpected spectacle.
The public was grateful that they were entertaining the wait and broke in plaudits.
I'm looking today two hours this spectacular sunset on riverside Sava inZagreb.We have beautiful day today!
Numerous lakes I have seen, and some are very spectacular. Lake Balaton is one of them. I had heard of the name, that sounds somewhat mystical to me (don't know why, but maybe for that reason it is mystical).
We were lucky because the weather that morning was fantastic, and Lake Balaton showed its immense turquoise color. Main reason for it, Balaton is rather shallow. The picture was taken from the hillside town Tihany, nice but also very touristic.
A month ago I came back from my journey over a part of the Silk Road to and through Central Asia. 4 months of traveling through 14 countries (Germany, Austria, Hungary, Romania, Turkey, Georgia, Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan, Kirgizstan, Tajikistan, Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan, Iran) before I flew home from Teheran. An impressive journey in countries that are extremely beautiful, with lovely and welcoming people and diverse cultures and history.
Intense traveling with more than 20000 kilometers in our mobile home on sometimes roads that hardly could be called that way. We saw many villages and cities (some wonderful, others very ugly), countries that are transforming from the old Soviet era into something more related to older cultures and the way people live, often funded by oil readily available around the Caspian sea. We saw the amazing mountains south of the Black Sea, the wonderful Caucasus, and the high mountains in the far east close to China with peaks over 7000 meter, and not to forget the (Bulgarian) Alps!
We crossed the great steppe of Kazakhstan. a drive of at least 5000 km, the remnants of lake Aral, once one of the biggest lakes of the world, saw a rocket launch from Baikonur (this little part is Russian owned), we crossed many high mountains passes, and drove the breathtaking canyon that comes from the Pamir, beginning at ca 4500 meter, and going down for ca. 400km to an altitude of 1300 meter, driving for 100's of kilometers along the Afghan border.
And then the numerous lakes with all sorts of different colors from deep cobalt blue to turquoise, and one rare spectacle in Turkmenistan where a gas crater is burning already for more than 40 years. And finally and certainly not the least to mention an enormous amount of wonderful, hospitable and welcoming people. The woman often dressed in wonderful dresses, and bringing a lot of color in the streets of almost of all countries we visited.
Had to share just one more shot of the wonderful phenomenon. I find it surprising that we will willingly tolerate and even relish the company of crowds when it comes to watching an athletic event or an artistic performance and yet get annoyed to see crowds when the spectacular show is put on by Mother Nature. No, I do not get annoyed by the crowds. I am not so special that I should get to enjoy this alone. I hope that those who witness this wonder develop a deep sense of respect and admiration for these beautiful places and feel compelled to protect them for future generations.
Sunrise offered a very beautiful spectacle; the water was quite unruffled, but the motion communicated by the tides was so great that, although there was not a breath of air stirring, the sea heaved slowly with a grand and majestic motion.

Met up with Chris (Christolakis) at Cabarita Headland for one of the best sunrises that I have seen for a while - not that we knew that when we started out ;-).
