In FotoSondag the theme is symbols and I chose to show one of our most common symbols that stands for love. This flower looks like a heart and I think it's beautiful.

The Symbols of Ostara are: In Celtic tradition, the hare is sacred to the Goddess and is the totem animal of lunar goddesses such as Hecate, Freyja and Holda - the hare is a symbol for the moon. The Goddess most closely associated with the Hare is Eostre, or Ostara.

The Goddess Wenet (Wenut, Unut) is an enigmatic figure in ancient Egyptian religion and mythology. In the earliest times Wenet was first identified as a snake headed goddess and then became associated with the hare. Her name means the Opener and also the Swift One. Both the snake and the hare are known for being swift creatures and the hare symbolized the opening of the new year, fertility, and the beginning of new life.
Wenet’s name, the hieroglyphic symbol for the Hare, was the “standard” of the 15th province in Upper Egypt.
In Egyptian history her name (“Unut”) was used by only one king, the Pharaoh Unas (circa 2350 BCE), who was the first pharaoh to have the Pyramid Texts carved and painted on the walls of the chambers of his pyramid. The Pyramid Texts are possibly the oldest known religious texts in the world.
The antiquity of Wenet’s worship is suggested by Book of the Dead spell 137A (Heku Stories 3) as well as in the Coffin Text spell 495 where the deceased states, “I extend my arm in company with Shu, I am released in company with Wenet.” In spell 720, “To become a dawn-God and to live by means of magicians,” the deceased affirms “I will act as one who is sent to the Gods, and my voice is that of Wenet.” In a fragmentary Coffin Text spell 942, an unknown deity is identified with Wenet by the phrase “…she has nothing which has been done against her, in this her name of Wenet.”
An ancient Egyptian text describes how Horus was injured after fighting with Seth, and he asks his mother (Isis) to speak words of heku on his behalf, “the name of Wenet was made, since words existed.” Elsewhere the same text refers to Wenet as “the lady of fighting of the chamber of Nunet in the high hill of Khemenu which is on the island of fire,” which means the point from which the sun rises.
Carved mythological texts found in shrines and temples to Bastet describe Bastet projecting her magical fury to destroy evildoers in the form of the “Seven Arrows.” Each Arrow was attributed to a deity who controlled a group of supernatural beings (or demons). The full list of deities has been lost to history, however Wenet is the sixth of the “Seven Arrows of Bastet.”
For a rather unknown deity of great antiquity, there remains a great deal of evidence as to the Hare Goddess Wenet’s magical powers.

The Palace of Versailles is one of the most iconic symbols of France’s royal past, showcasing the grandeur and power of the monarchy during the 17th and 18th centuries. Originally a modest hunting lodge built by Louis XIII, it was transformed by his son, Louis XIV, into a vast palace that became the political and cultural heart of France. Known for its breathtaking Hall of Mirrors, opulent royal apartments, and sprawling gardens designed by André Le Nôtre, Versailles was not only a royal residence but also a stage for displays of wealth, power, and absolute monarchy. Beyond its architectural beauty, the palace played a central role in history, from hosting the daily rituals of court life to witnessing the signing of the Treaty of Versailles in 1919. Today, it stands as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, attracting millions of visitors each year who come to admire its artistry and experience its rich legacy.
The Lanterna, symbol of Genoa and most important lighthouse of the city, is a 77-metre-high tower, made of two blocks, square in section, roughly of the same height, and both with a projecting terrace.
Built on a rock of 40 metres of height, the top of the Lanterna stands therefore at 117 metres above the sea level. Its light is visible from more than 50 kilometres away.
The Lanterna has welcomed vessels and boats and guided them into the harbour for centuries. The Lanterna, as we see it today, was built in 1543; unofficial sources, however, date back to 1128 the building on this site of the first tower intended to assist navigators.
Today visitors can climb 172 steps, reach the first terrace (76 m above the sea level), and enjoy the breathtaking view of the port and the old city.
The whole area was restored between 1995 and 2004.
The poppy has a long association with Remembrance Day. But how did the distinctive red flower become such a potent symbol of our remembrance of the sacrifices made in past wars?
Scarlet corn poppies (popaver rhoeas) grow naturally in conditions of disturbed earth throughout Western Europe. The destruction brought by the Napoleonic wars of the early 19th Century transformed bare land into fields of blood red poppies, growing around the bodies of the fallen soldiers.
In late 1914, the fields of Northern France and Flanders were once again ripped open as World War One raged through Europe's heart. Once the conflict was over the poppy was one of the only plants to grow on the otherwise barren battlefields.
The significance of the poppy as a lasting memorial symbol to the fallen was realised by the Canadian surgeon John McCrae in his poem In Flanders Fields. The poppy came to represent the immeasurable sacrifice made by his comrades and quickly became a lasting memorial to those who died in World War One and later conflicts. It was adopted by The Royal British Legion as the symbol for their Poppy Appeal, in aid of those serving in the British Armed Forces, after its formation in 1921.
The symbol with line thru the circle is the camera's focal plane (usually where the sensor is). Lenses typically have minimum focal distance to a subject and you measure from this point on the camera to the subject to determine the focal distance.

Trying square format on Nord 3... Pretty decent camera. I didn't have higher expectations anyway. The ultra wide is also interesting, I'll post some shots the next days.
Male lions have impressive manes that serve multiple purposes. The mane is a symbol of masculinity and plays a vital role in attracting mates and intimidating potential rivals. It also serves as a defense mechanism during fights, providing protection to the head and neck. The size, color, and length of the mane can vary among individuals, with darker manes being more attractive to females. However, some male lions may have smaller or non-existent manes due to factors such as heat and nutrition.

Bucovina is one of the few regions where the art of egg painting is among the most lively and well preserved traditions.
Compared to other folk art manifestations this craft is impressive due to its artistic, decorative compositions and colorful design. In time, the Romanians consolidated the tradition and the custom of redden and painting the eggs in the spring, for celebrating the Christian's greatest feast - The Easter. The painted and decorated egg, a substitute for the Christian divinity that dies and comes back to life again, at the vernal equinox, sacramental eaten on Easter Day, is a symbol of death and resurrection of time and space.
In Romanian language there are a lot of terms used to describe the decorated eggs.The terms "red eggs" or "Easter eggs" refers - through extension - to all types of coloured or decorated eggs, even though not all of them are red or used only for Easter.
These worked eggs require craftsmanship and patience. The most praiseworthy are painted or handwritten eggs, entirely decorated, whose ornamental composition is more like spontaneous rather than elaborated. After playing an important role within a serious of traditional ceremonies and rites, the eggs are meant either for eating - called "lifeless" eggs, scanty decorated - either for being home preserved - these are the "living ones" (not boiled, hollow-out eggs) richly decorated.
Due to the fact they were meant for preservation, "the living eggs" were imbued with remarkable meanings. These eggs are only painted by genuine artists. Each of these eggs, true craftsmenship masterpieces, has its own unique design incorporating delicacy , refinement and imagination.
Egg painting is a moment of great joy, fully attained by the entire family. In countryside villages, especially in Bucovina region, live women famous for their crafts, delicacy and hand skills that have resulted into a perfect egg-painting art. What makes these women so famous is the chromatic harmony and the balanced aesthetics of the art they practise.
Egg-painting is a sophisticated craft, reflecting great refinement, combining talent, sensibility, vocation and moral qualities as well. The decoration technique, the ornamental composition and the chromatic palette decoration are crucial for realizing a beautiful " written egg". For ensuring quality hot wax-writing, the shape, the size and the strength of the egg are essential characteristics to be considered.
The drawing technique consists of covering the egg surface in wax and then, using a special tool made of a thin metal pipe, with a very small diameter, the egg is patterned (written with ornamental motifs).
After the egg shell is carefully cleaned, the egg is hollowed out: these preparations are a must in order to begin the writing of the model, thing that elderly women know from experince. Of ovoid shape, the egg requires a compositional conception often difficult to accomplish. The egg shell is either divided in four sections by drawing two axles (a horizontal line and a vertical one), or considering eggshell's volume, an integrated composition is made.
After the first patterns are made, the egg is dipped in a light color, usually yellow. Then the egg is put into the melted wax just to cover the dye mark. The wax seals the dye so the egg can be dipped in several colors without them running into one another. With each dipping more and more ornamental line are added. The last color to be used is black. In the end, the egg is gently heated, the wax melts down and the egg reveals its whole decorative, multicolor and original beauty. This beauty carries a message of harmony, equilibrium and expressivity. The chromatic palette has its own importance and symbolism, comprising a series of basic colors like yellow, red, navy blue, black and even white. The basic pattern of the compositional register include the geometrical, astral, fito and zoomorph elements; in addition, there is a whole compositional inventory extremly rich in color. There are myriads of motifs used on painted eggs. The most popular ones are: the stray path, the sun , the moon, the ram's horn, the cross, the star, the snail, the prayer, the plogh share, the wave, the zigzags and the stylised flowers.
Nicely arranged in a basket, the eggs are taken into the church so they can be blessed by the priest, are offered as present, sacramental eaten, or, most often, they are preserved for the whole year inside the house, for their aesthetic value. (http://ejournal.eduprojects.net)
