This is very iconic Norwegian. (But very far from my everyday life) These are the same kind of horses that the Norwegian vikings used.

My Image is a symbol and a message to my french friends
about a wonderful landmark that belongs to all of us.
Spring is the promise that everything can begin again, letting go and embracing something new.
NOTRE-DAME CATHEDRAL - one of the most iconic symbols of beauty and history in Paris was damaged in a massive fire on April. 15th/16th 2019. A tragedy.
On the night of the fire, France's president Emmanuel Macron announced that the cathedral, which is owned by the state, would be rebuilt, and launched an international fundraising campaign the next day.
Fortunately, It will be restored.
And a miraccle of Nature's bag of tricks appeared:
Notre Dame has housed three beehives on the first floor on a roof over the sacristy, just beneath the rose window, since 2013. Each hive has about 60,000 bees. The 180,000 bees are alive and busy.

Sie ist ein Wahrzeichen Frankreichs, ein bedeutendes katholisches Gotteshaus, ein frühgotisches Bauwunder – eine Attraktion, die jedes Jahr Millionen Menschen anzieht. Doch die Kathedrale Notre-Dame in Paris, in der am frühen Montagabend, 15. April 2019, Flammen ausgebrochen sind, ist mehr als all das: Sie ist buchstäblich das Zentrum Frankreichs.
Fünfzig Meter vor der Cathédrale Notre-Dame de Paris liegt der Nullpunkt, der Point zéro für Frankreichs Landstraßen. Von einem goldenen Stern im Kopfsteinpflaster aus werden alle Entfernungen in die Provinz gezählt, bis nach Biarritz am Atlantik, Marseille am Mittelmeer und Grenoble am Fuß der Alpen. Zwar ist Notre-Dame nicht der geografische Mittelpunkt des Landes, aber dennoch gilt die Kathedrale auf der ältesten Binneninsel von Paris, umflossen von zwei Seine-Armen, historisch als Zentrum Frankreichs.
Glücklicherweise wird -trotz aller Schäden- dieses wunderschöne Weltkulturerbe wieder auferstehen.
So es interessiert: Hier ein Film über die Orgel von Notre-Dame, eine der kostbarsten und komplexesten Orgeln der Welt.
Olivier Latry, einer der vier amtierenden Organisten der Notre-Dame de Paris führt tief hinein in das Innerste der Orgel.
Sie hat das Feuer überstanden.

Hello my amazing Flickr friends !
Today is a pink or purple day at Color my World Daily and the theme at Smile on Saturday is Infinity symbol. At first, I had a very difficult time to find an infinity symbol in my props… but then there was this elastic orange hair band laying on the floor in front of me. And since I’m lazy I wasn’t about to pick it up (especially that my house is a total mess right now because of our renovations) until I noticed that it was a perfect Infinity symbol ! Isn’t that great ? Of course, turning an orange elastic band into a levitating infinity symbol was another problem but I’m pretty much satisfied with the results. And I truly hope it will make you smile !!
Juste for your information: I have lots of things going on in my personal life right now and due to our renovations going super fast my « photo studio » (aka coffee table) and all my props had to take a vacation and all of my stuff is currently in my bathtub (yes, people !! The struggle is real, there is virtually no free space left in my house … event the bathtub is full of stuff !! And yes, we did put a cork in, just in case !!). So I’m will not be able to publish daily anymore (which makes me truly sad since I got truly attached to all your awesome comments, support and this amazing community…). For now, I will be officially on « vacation » from Flickr (but it isn’t by choice …). I will try to publish as soon as possible. Until then : stay well and safe my friends !!
Have a beautiful day !! Mucho, mucho amor for you all !!
Thank you so much for all your lovely comments / favs/ general support / happy thoughts!! Stay safe and well!!
The white birds, a symbol of peace, beautifully captured here, flying in different directions like spreading a message of freedom and peace. The blue sky and the blue water adding serenity to the picture!

We can express our feelings regarding the world around us either by poetic or by descriptive means. I prefer to express myself metaphorically. Let me stress: metaphorically, not symbolically. A symbol contains within itself a definite meaning, certain intellectual formula, while metaphor is an image. An image possessing the same distinguishing features as the world it represents. An image — as opposed to a symbol — is indefinite in meaning. One cannot speak of the infinite world by applying tools that are definite and finite. We can analyse the formula that constitutes a symbol, while metaphor is a being-within-itself, it's a monomial. It falls apart at any attempt of touching it.
― Andrei Tarkovsky
The Konark Sun Temple. An ancient architecture built in 13th century, was dedicated to God 'Sun'. With twelve pairs of gigantic sundials, ornamented chariots and classical arts, carved over the stone walls, its a cool place to recall Indian history. Also once was known as Black Pagoda to Europeans as the ships passing through near by used to experience destruction of their navigation systems because of humongous magnetic supports of the temple.
Simply its a perfect composition of engineering, astronomy and fine art !!!
I am so lucky to have two kids that absolutely adore each other. They are also very creative, so I did not even have to ask to make this love symbol for me. I love them dearly.
A poppy is a flowering plant in the subfamily Papaveroideae of the family Papaveraceae. Poppies are herbaceous plants, often grown for their colourful flowers. One species of poppy, Papaver somniferum, is the source of the narcotic drug opium which contains powerful medicinal alkaloids such as morphine and has been used since ancient times as an analgesic and narcotic medicinal and recreational drug. It also produces edible seeds. Following the trench warfare in the poppy fields of Flanders, Belgium during World War I, poppies have become a symbol of remembrance of soldiers who have died during wartime. Poppies are herbaceous annual, biennial or short-lived perennial plants. Some species are monocarpic, dying after flowering. Poppies can be over a metre tall with flowers up to 15 centimetres across. Flowers of species (not cultivars) have 4 to 6 petals, many stamens forming a conspicuous whorl in the center of the flower and an ovary of from 2 to many fused carpels. The petals are showy, may be of almost any color and some have markings. 17752
Columbines are hardy flowers that grow in a range of adverse conditions up to an elevation of 9000 ft, therefore they’re symbols of endurance, perseverance and the willingness to take risks.

Au pied du mont Parnasse, en Phocide, Delphes (en grec : Δελφοί, ancien : Delphoí, moderne : Delfí) est le site d'un sanctuaire panhellénique où parlait l'oracle d'Apollon à travers sa prophétesse, la Pythie ; il abritait également l'Omphalos ou « nombril du monde ». Investi d'une signification sacrée, Delphes fut du vie siècle av. J.-C. au ive siècle av. J.-C. le véritable centre et le symbole de l'unité du monde grec.
Les sanctuaires panhelléniques étaient des complexes architecturaux extérieurs aux cités : ils constituaient les seuls lieux où tous les anciens Grecs, et certains barbares (Lydiens et Étrusques) prenaient part à des célébrations religieuses communes.
Back from my holidays in the wonderful North of France (Pays de la Loire to be precise!).
Being in the middle of nowhere meant I had the opportunity to take some photos of the Perseids and the Milky Way!
I've called the photo 'Heavenly Symbols' because, shooting stars, the Milky Way and (more obviously) the cross can have religious symbolism!
For me it was just a wonderful night under a sea of stars!!
Looking forward to catching up with all your photos over the last 2 weeks!

A scene from crossing the Trent.
I'm not sure what's going on with this composition tbh, either I pointed the camera in the wrong direction, or the marvellous clouds I might have seen are not showing on the film. :-) Anyway, I still quite like it so have shared it.

The Bald Eagle has been the national emblem of the United States since 1782 and a spiritual symbol for native people for far longer than that. These regal birds aren’t really bald, but their white-feathered heads gleam in contrast to their chocolate-brown body and wings. Look for them soaring in solitude, chasing other birds for their food, or gathering by the hundreds in winter. Once endangered by hunting and pesticides, Bald Eagles have flourished under protection.
Helios 44M-7 at F2 plus a 2x teleconverter. I have photographed this wooden figurine before. As an object, its nature is trivial and some might call it kitsch. To me, it has its enigmatic fascination. It popped up right at the beginning, when I met the woman who would become my wife. Difficult to put into words what goes on inside. Associations like 'home', 'protection' and 'intimacy' well up. The totally unsubstantiated feeling, you know, that, 'in the end, everything will be alright'. Symbols work this way, signposts to a world that is (eventually) in order.

Le laurier, avec son feuillage persistant suggère l'éternité. Depuis l'époque romaine, il est aussi associé à la gloire, mais comme il s'agit d'une tombe féminine du 19e siècle, je ne suis pas sûre que ce voeu d'éternité fasse référence à une gloire de la jeune femme.
Le magnolia symbolise d’abord la force. Il représente aussi la dignité, le respect et la fidélité.

La posidonia (posidonia oceanica), no es una alga si no una planta superior, que en un momento de la evolución ha vuelto al mar. Está considerada com una de las principales fuentes de vida del Mediterráneo, y, por desgracia, se encuentra en peligro de extinción.
