"It's impossible to imagine the Swiss mountain world as more idyllic than the area surrounding Lake Bachalpsee. The snow-covered peaks of the Alps are reflected in the crystal clear blue water.
First is the starting point for hikes and it offers action: An adrenaline rush and speed thrills are guaranteed on the First Flyer, trottibike scooters or bikes. Children can have fun on the 700-m² playground at the Bort intermediate station."
Trois étapes vous seront nécessaires pour débarquer en toute tranquillité dans cet écrin de nature montagnarde paradisiaque. A 2200 mètres d'altitude, le First offre des panoramas étourdissants, notamment une vue imprenable sur sept 4000 des Alpes bernoises.
En une petite heure de marche à travers pâturages et chemins pédestres bucoliques, vous atteignez le superbe lac Bachalpsee et ses eaux cristallines. De tous les côtés, des points de vue pittoresques. Inoubliable ascension. Pour un peu de culture, passez donc la nuit au Berghotel Faulhorn, le plus ancien hôtel de montagne de Suisse!
Der First ist eine Verflachung des Südwest-Rückens zum Widderfeldgrätli (2'632 m ü. M.) im Berner Oberland nördlich oberhalb von Grindelwald. Er ist über eine Gondelbahn oder zu Fuss erreichbar. Die obere Bergstation heisst ebenfalls First (2'167 m ü. M.) und steht den Besuchern im Winter und im Sommer mit einem gut ausgebauten Ski- und Wandergebiet zur Verfügung.
Besonders beliebt ist die Wanderung zum Bachalpsee und weiter zum Faulhorn, die ein spektakuläres Panorama mit Blick auf den oberen Grindelwaldgletscher sowie Eiger, Mönch und Jungfrau bietet. Eine weitere interessante Wanderung führt auf das Schwarzhorn. Östlich von First liegt 5,6 Kilometer zu Fuss entfernt die Grosse Scheidegg.
Der First ist ein Startort für Paraglider und Deltasegler sowie Ausgangspunkt für zahlreiche Mountainbiketouren. Station First bietet auch einen imposanten kurvenreichen Schlittenweg, welcher bei guten Schneeverhältnissen direkt nach Grindelwald führt.
Le Finsteraarhorn est le point culminant du massif des Alpes bernoises à 4 274 mètres d'altitude, sur la frontière entre les cantons du Valais et de Berne en Suisse. Le sommet constitue un point de repère particulièrement visible à cause de sa pointe et de sa face abrupte.
Du point de vue géologique, il appartient au massif de l'Aar et est constitué d'amphibolite.
The Finsteraarhorn (4,274 m (14,022 ft)) is the highest mountain in the Bernese Alps and the highest mountain in the canton of Berne. It is also the highest summit in the Alps lying outside the main chain, or watershed. The Finsteraarhorn is the ninth highest and third most prominent peak in the Alps. Since 2001 the whole massif and surrounding glaciers are part of the Jungfrau-Aletsch World Heritage Site.
Das Finsteraarhorn ist mit 4'274 m ü. M. der höchste Gipfel der Berner Alpen, des Kantons Bern und überhaupt der Schweiz östlich von Lötschberg und Simplon, zudem ist es höchster Punkt im Einzugsgebiet des Rheins. Sein markanter Gipfel dominiert die Panoramen der gesamten Zentral- und Ostschweiz. Es liegt an der Grenze der Kantone Bern und Wallis.
Das Finsteraarhorn hat eine zugeschärfte, haifischflossenartige Form und erscheint in Streichrichtung der Grate von NW oder SO als steiles Horn. Quer dazu erscheint es als breit hingelagertes Dreieck.
Geologisch gehört es zum Aarmassiv und besteht aus Amphibolit. Geomorphologisch ist seine Berggestalt als Karling charakterisiert.
Der Normalanstieg erfolgt - ausgehend vom Grimselpass - von der Finsteraarhornhütte über die SW-Seite bis zum ersten Absatz des NW-Grats (sog. Hugisattel auf 4'088 m), und von dort über den Grat (zunächst in den Felsen oder im Schnee der SW-Flanke) zum Gipfel (WS I-II).
Der markante Gipfel wurde am 16. August 1812 von Arnold Abbühl, Joseph Bortis und Alois Volken zum ersten Mal bestiegen, den Gipfel erreichten sie vermutlich über den heute zum grossen Teil abgeschmolzenen Hängegletscher in der Ostflanke des Südostgrats. Allerdings ist nicht klar, ob die drei tatsächlich den Hauptgipfel erreichten. Erwiesen ist hingegen die Bezwingung des Gipfels am 10. August 1829 durch Jakob Leuthold und Johann Währen über den heutigen Normalweg. Diese waren die Bergführer des Gletscherforschers Franz Joseph Hugi, der selbst wegen einer Fussverletzung in einer Einsattelung, die heute seinen Namen trägt, zurückbleiben musste.

Chiesa San Carlo alle Quattro Fontane (1634)
ROMA
Architetto: Francesco Borromini
San Carlo alle Quattro Fontane es la obra maestra de uno de los máximos exponentes del barroco, Borromini, donde se adoptan soluciones muy innovadoras y revolucionarias con un espacio disponible muy reducido. Y el autor realiza un verdadero milagro al ampliar el espacio. La estructura de la iglesia es toda un movimiento continuo: la fachada se flexiona, cóncava y convexa a la vez. La planta es elíptica pero también es un octágono de paredes acodadas, imposible de definir en una figura geométrica precisa. Las paredes parecen estirarse en un continuo de soluciones ingeniosas al igual que la cúpula ovalada, que es única en su especie. Es un claro ejemplo de cómo la genialidad y la creatividad no siempre necesitan grandes espacios.

San Carlo alle Quattro Fontane is the masterpiece of one of the greatest exponents of the Baroque, Borromini, where highly innovative and revolutionary solutions are adopted with a very small space available. And the author performs a true miracle by expanding the space. The structure of the church is all a continuous movement: the facade flexes, concave and convex at the same time. The plan is elliptical but it is also an octagon with bent walls, impossible to define it in a precise geometric figure. The walls seem to stretch in a continuous of ingenious solutions just like the oval dome which is one of a kind. It is a clear example of how genius and creativity don't always need large spaces.

"Morana, goddess of death and frost, would descend upon the world with her icy grip, whispering of eternity as she cloaked the land in snowbound silence. No matter how the people pleaded, she would not yield — her heart forged from frozen rivers and ancient sorrow. But Zimsterla, goddess of spring’s eternal dance, was never far behind. Daughter of Svantevit and beloved of Dogoda, bringer of gentle breezes, she emerged radiant and glorious, her presence a living promise of rebirth..."
Founded at Althof in 1171 and funded by Pribislav, it was a strategic move to secure his rule as a Christian prince. The abbey was destroyed during the succession wars after his death, and rebuilt at Bad Doberan, ultimately becoming his final resting place.
This is on my bucket list for my visit to Germany this summer 😊❤️
Surgie comme de nulle part après des années de sol ordinaire dans le jardin... Les fleurs aiment aussi jouer à cache-cache apparemment :-)
Appeared like out of nowhere after years of ordinary ground in the garden ... The flowers also like to play hide and seek apparently :-)
"Anselm had been installed in Mecklenburg some summers ago by Henry the Lion, shortly after Pribislav returned from accompanying the duke on pilgrimage to Jerusalem. The appointment carried the weight of strategy rather than coincidence; Anselm stood in Mecklenburg as both bishop and watchman, ensuring that Pribislav’s restored favor remained firmly aligned with Saxon and ecclesiastical interests..."
Walking through the fields next to the village of Markyate in Hertfordshire, you might come across this. It is part of a memorial for a young woman who had died in 2016. The memorial has been attended to ever since. The place is important to the family. It is not the graveyard but the fields, nature, where you, as I did today, can hear the song of the larks descending. My feeling is that this is intended to be a place where the young woman can still be found. Where she is present, perhaps in the lark's song. Fuji X-100F.

“Spirituality is not to be learned by flight from the world, or by running away from things, or by turning solitary and going apart from the world. Rather, we must learn an inner solitude wherever or with whomsoever we may be. We must learn to penetrate things and find God there.”
― Meister Eckhart

Tanah Lot Temple stands for earth (Tanah) and sea (Lot), quite appropriate considering its spectacular setting on top of an impressive rock overlooking the sea. It's one of seven ocean temples on the coast of Bali that create a sort of spiritual bulwark against bad vibes rolling on the ocean currents. Inside the actual temple compound itself there are tiered shrines that follow the fundamental elements of Balinese design where the number of levels constructed are symbolic to the complexities of the faith.

Cham Shan Temple (Ten Thousand Buddas)- The 7 level Asian style building contains precious collections of Buddhist arts and artifacts. Experience the tranquility and spirituality of the temple. They provide free guided tours during summer weekends from June to October. A"World Peace Ten Thousand Buddhas Sarira Stupa Temple" has been constructed on 3 acres of land in Niagara Falls in order to facilitate the expounding of Dharma and the propagation of Buddhism. Spreading the Dharma and benefitting all sentiment beings are the Buddhist Order's vows.

Canada is renowned for its serene and picturesque environment. A Bronze Buddha Statue and a Bodhisattva Avalokitesvara's statue are situated in this property so numerous tourists and devotees can cherish this great chance to make offerings and pay homage to the Buddha

"The only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn like fabulous yellow roman candles exploding like spiders across the stars.”
