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!!
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.

Buzludzha is a communist monument - build in Bulgaria in the 70s and abbandoned in 1989.
Unluckely I couldn't manage to take picture outside to the strange UFO shape of the building due to the tremndous fog and wind
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.
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 !!!
"Chouchou is a historic location in Second Life. Each of us has visited it at least once, and it enchanted us.
At the point of arrival, water, and an endless horizon seemingly infinite surround you.
When you activate music, it’s magic. The music is original to the authors of the location, more specifically: Juliet Heberle is a vocalist, while Arabesque Choch is a composer. The original music of Chouchou on the official website of the sim: chouchou.cc/music/.
Chouchou is known for its music and for the location of water that inspired many other sites, but it is right to remember that the sim hosts two other exciting spaces in the sky, Islamey, and Memento, accessible by a teleport located at the foot of the staircase that leads to the air.
Also, the authors of the location have made artistic videos of high level, and they are visible on their website at the following link: chouchou.cc/music/, under the heading “music videos.”
Today, reading on Facebook, I learned that Chouchou is in danger of closing down.
Many people are worried about this news because Chouchou is a symbol of Second Life, one of many, of course. However, one of the most significant. I hope that the Linden Lab will accept the invitation to preserve this place that for many Second Life users is a corner of peace, harmony, and therapy to the greyness of everyday life."

Symboles virginaux dans notre inconscient collectif, les oiseaux blancs jouissent auprès de nous d'un capital de sympathie qui puise au plus profond de notre culture, au risque de bousculer la simple logique. S'il était couleur de neige, le cormoran -notre bête noire au propre comme au figuré- se verrait sans doute largement absout des crimes dont on l'accuse. Inversement, à régime piscivore équivalent, l'opprobre serait sans doute le lot d'une aigrette au plumage anthracite ! Mais la nature ayant opté chez elle pour la couleur blanche, la voici unanimement tenue à l'écart de notre critique. Traduits dans les faits, ces bons sentiments ont valu à l'aigrette de figurer dès 1962 dans la liste des espèces intégralement protégées en France... Ce dont elle profite amplement depuis pour grignoter des espaces neufs.

Il Tower Bridge, il ponte simbolo di Londra fu costruito in stile gotico vittoriano nel 1886 su di un progetto di Horace Jones e Wolfe Barry, e fu terminato nel 1894.
Tower Bridge è costituito da due parti mobili che, in meno di un minuto, si sollevano completamente durante il passaggio di grandi navi grazie a un sistema elettronico che nel 1976 ha sostituito il vecchio impianto idraulico.
Un tempo le parti mobili si aprivano fino a 5 volte al giorno, ma oggi non vengono quasi più aperte perché le navi ormai attraccano in tutt’altra zona, più a valle, e non hanno più necessità di passare dal ponte per raggiungere le banchine.
Sul Tower Bridge sorgono le due famose torri, alte 25 m, che lo caratterizzano su foto e cartoline, e al loro interno ospitano alcune mostre e un museo: The Tower Bridge Exhibition che, attraverso percorsi interattivi, espone gli ingranaggi idraulici che hanno sollevato il ponte fino al 1976.
The Tower Bridge, symbol of London, was built in Gothic Victorian style in 1886 on a project of Wolfe Barry and Horace Jones, and was completed in 1894.
Tower Bridge is composed of two moving parts. During the passage of large ships, in less than a minute, these parts are raised completely with an electronic system that in 1976 replaced the old hydraulic system.
Once the moving parts were opened up to 5 times a day, but today are hardly opened because the ships dock is in a completely different area, further downstream
Two famous towers, 25 m tall, stand on the Tower Bridge. These towers characterize the bridge in photos and postcards and inside host some exhibits and a museum: The Tower Bridge Exhibition.
Das Völkerschlachtdenkmal im Südosten Leipzigs wurde in Erinnerung an die Völkerschlacht nach Entwürfen des Berliner Architekten Bruno Schmitz errichtet und am 18. Oktober 1913 eingeweiht. Die plastischen Arbeiten wurden von den Bildhauern Christian Behrens und Franz Metzner gestaltet.
Mit 91 Metern Höhe zählt es zu den größten Denkmälern Europas und ist eines der bekannten Wahrzeichen Leipzigs. Es bildet eine weithin sichtbare Landmarke mit markanter Silhouette, das bei klarer Luft vom 105 Kilometer entfernten Fichtelberg zu sehen ist.[1] Heute gehört es einer Stiftung des öffentlichen Rechts der Stadt Leipzig. Fast eine Million Besucher werden jährlich gezählt.
Unmittelbar vor dem Völkerschlachtdenkmals befindet sich der künstlich angelegte See der Tränen, welcher die Tränen der Völker, die um die Gefallenen der Schlacht trauern, symbolisieren soll. Ursprünglich wurde der See von den Erbauern nur als „Wasserbecken“ bezeichnet, ehe er im Jahre 1938 seinen heute üblichen Namen und die ihm zugedachte Symbolik erhielt.
To celebrate Earth Day, here's a California Condor.
In 1982, only 22 California Condors were left in the world.
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service began a captive breeding program in 1983, teaming with the Los Angeles Zoo and the San Diego Wild Animal Park. (Additional breeding facilities were added later at The Peregrine Fund's World Center for Birds of Prey in Boise, Idaho and at the Oregon Zoo in Portland, Oregon.)
Thanks to the monumental effort by these organizations and the dedicated people involved, California Condors now number over 500, with more than half flying free in the wild.
Our guilt lies open before you; *
our secrets in the light of your face.
-Psalm 90
I will lead the blind on their journey; *
by paths unknown I will guide them.
I will turn darkness into light before them, *
and make crooked ways straight.
