When you think of Collingwood, the terminals are probably the first image to come to mind. This structure can be seen for miles around Collingwood and symbolizes the twin engines of commerce in the early 1900’s, agriculture and shipping. Grain service was the main production here, but had stopped in 1993, ending 64 years of operation for the cement elevator and 123 years of grain trade in Collingwood. Though, these terminals still hold a huge place in Collingwood. The terminals, now owned by the Town of Collingwood, continue as a landmark and will be an important part of the future redevelopment of Collingwood Harbour.
Best viewed large.

Admiral butterfly
Vanessa atalanta
Seeing an Admiral butterfly can be interpreted symbolically as a message to take control of your life, as the butterfly is seen as a symbol of self-determination. It is also a beautiful representation of the beauty and diversity of nature, and witnessing it can remind you of the importance of protecting your environment. Its characteristic behavior of defending its territory and eggs can also be said to symbolize protection and power.

“The mermaid is an archetypal image that represents a woman who is at ease in the great waters of life, the waters of emotion and sexuality. She shows us how to embrace our instinctive sexuality and sensuality so that we can affirm the essence of our feminine nature, the wisdom of our bodies, and the playfulness of our spirits. She symbolizes our connection with our deepest instinctive feelings, our wild and untamed animal nature that exists below the surface of outward personalities. She is able to respond to her mysterious sexual impulses without abandoning her more human, conscious side.
Mother Nature can be hard to explain, she is a figure who symbolizes our earth and the beauty of nature. Many see her as our supreme mother, who has created the wonders and gifts of nature that we are so lucky to live among.

For me no flower symbolizes summer more than the sunflower although it appears at a time when summer is already nearing its end. It has been a long, hot and unusally dry summer but I still don't want to think of autumn, of colder and darker days. For now I just want to soak in the colours of summer.

"Collegium Sancti Petri Caeseriense"
"The seal of the college was designed in 1930. It is a peacock surmounting a rock, a couple of crossed keys, and the legend "in perpetuum." The peacock is symbolic of the soul finding immortality after death; the rock symbolizes St. Peter as the "rock" upon which the church was built; the keys represent the keys to heaven, and the words "in perpetuum," denote the hope of going on forever." - from the college website.
The St. Peter's colors are blue and white - the peacock is the school mascot.

A jewel among churches - the wooden Church of St. St. Nicholas is one of the oldest and most beautiful wooden churches in Slovakia. The three-part log building with a richly ornamented shingled roof and three towers was built in 1658. In 2008 it was entered in the UNESCO World Heritage List together with seven other wooden churches from the area of Slovak Carpathians.
The sacral monument is a part of a unique complex located in the center of Bodružal in the Svidník district. In addition to the temple, it also consists of a separate bell tower, an adjacent cemetery and a wooden fence with a shingled roof and an entrance gate covered by a conical roof.
The three church towers symbolizing the Holy Trinity will catch your attention for sure. The highest tower houses the bells, which were used for military purposes at the beginning of the World War I - the inhabitants of the village replaced them in the second half of the 1920s. The oldest preserved bell features the inscription “1759”.

„Another fence - another leaf - similar to photo 279/365.
A motif that I particularly like. Cold metal that survives time, bright autumn colors of nature that symbolize the transience and the transition to hibernation. In my opinion, the very special contrast of red and black, the result of ColorKey photo editing, only gives the scene its very special atmosphere...."
„Ein anderer Zaun - ein anderes Blatt - ähnlich dem Foto 279/365.
Ein Motiv welches ich ganz besonders gerne mag. Kaltes Metall das die Zeit überdauert, leuchtende Herbstfarben der Natur welche die Vergänglichkeit und den Übergang in die Winterruhe symbolisieren. Der ganz besondere Kontrast von Rot und Schwarz, das Ergebnis der ColorKey Fotobearbeitung, gibt der Szene meines Erachtens nach zudem erst seine ganz besondere Atmosphäre…“

These three teddy bears I hand made years ago each symbolize people I love. The bear on the left was a teddy I gave to my dear friend, Jean, who passed away two years ago. Her family returned the bear to me, and I treasure it. The bear in the middle wears a sweater hand knitted by my late mother. It was the first sweater she made after learning to knit. The little bear on the right I affectionately named "Dicky" after my husband Rich who thought it was cute.
I wish you all a good weekend, and keep safe!
Viburnum is a symbol of Ukraine. Ruby viburnum berries, according to popular beliefs, symbolize the courage of people who shed their blood for the Motherland in the fight against enemies.
Its name comes from the word "harden" (Ukrainian “калити”, “загартовувати”. And in this process, two powerful elements merge together - fire and water, and they converge in the strongest substance - metal. It is thanks to this that the viburnum is always red - in wet fogs, in cold showers, in merciless droughts, and in fierce frosts.
Калина - символ України. Рубінові ягоди калини, за народними уявленнями, символізують мужність людей, що пролили кров за Батьківщину в боротьбі з ворогами.
Її назва походить від слова «калити», тобто «загартовувати». А в цьому процесі воєдино зливаються дві могутні стихії - вогонь та вода, і сходяться вони в найміцнішій речовині — металі. Саме завдяки цьому стоїть калина завжди червоною - і в сирі тумани, і в холодні зливи, і в нещадні суховії, і в люті морози.
AI Overview:
Foxglove flowers symbolize a duality: both healing and harm, due to their historical use in medicine and their poisonous nature. They are also linked to the fairy realm, representing magic, mystery, and even deceit. Additionally, they can symbolize insincerity, perhaps reflecting their deceptive beauty, which hides a dangerous secret, according to Victorian flower language.
Healing and Harm:
Foxgloves contain cardiac glycosides, which have been used to treat heart conditions, but can also be lethal if ingested.
This duality makes the foxglove a potent symbol of both the power of nature to heal and its potential to cause harm.
Fairies and the Supernatural:
Foxgloves are often associated with fairies in folklore, with some legends claiming fairies use them as hats or bells.
They are seen as a bridge between the natural and supernatural worlds, representing magic, mystery, and otherworldliness.
Other Symbolisms:
Insincerity:
In the language of flowers, foxgloves can symbolize insincerity, perhaps due to their beauty masking their toxicity.
Revenge:
Some folklore suggests that picking a foxglove can anger the fairies, leading to misfortune.
Resilience and Adaptation:
In some cultures, like those in Southern Africa, foxgloves can symbolize resilience and adaptability, owing to their ability to thrive in diverse environments.
Grace and Tranquility:
The lavender hue of some foxgloves can also symbolize grace and tranquility.
The Berkana (ᛒ) rune embodies renewal of all forms of life and the nurturing power of creation. It symbolizes healing, protection, and the quiet strength that fosters transformation. Berkana does not hasten change; it tends it. Like the birch that bends in storm yet never breaks, it teaches patience and speaks of new beginnings - fresh paths unfolding after endings - and reminds us that true growth comes in silence.
This rune is a guardian of transitions, guiding those who step away from what no longer serves them. Berkana shows that renewal does not always appear as arrival; sometimes it is found in departure, in leaving behind the weight of what cannot be carried forward. It calls us to trust in the cycles of release and rebirth, to embrace the shelter that allows spirit and will to flourish.
“Through Berkana, every loss becomes a seed, and every silence a space for transformation to occur.”
In loving memory of Helen Mecklenburg-Bailey.

Starting point of the north coast.
In addition to its great historical importance, Ahu Te Peu symbolizes the gateway to the island’s untamed northern coast, a solitary area, which remains almost untouched since it is hardly visited by tourists.
The tour runs along the lower slopes of the Terevaka volcano ( flic.kr/p/tse8TP ), passes through Hanga Oteo to the north and ends at Anakena beach ( flic.kr/p/tbxxgD ) after more than 6 long hours of hiking.
Many remains of ahu, moai, caves and petroglyphs can be seen, but since there is practically no road and the signaling of these landmarks is null, it is possible that many of them are overlooked. So it is advisable to carry out this interesting adventure accompanied by a guide.
International Women's Day is a special holiday of the year. It symbolizes the beginning of spring and serves as an excellent opportunity to express your love, admiration and gratitude to all women: mothers, grandmothers, wives, girlfriends and colleagues.

Pour les Romains, les Grâces représentent des déesses symbolisant la beauté, la séduction ou encore la fécondité. Elles seraient les filles de Zeus et d'Eurynomé.

Russian street musicians at the subway station Karlsplatz in Vienna
They also played the famous Russian song 'Kalinka". "Kalinka" is a diminutive of "Kalina", the guelder-rose, Viburnum opulus (German: Gewöhnlicher Schneeball), whose fruit is considered a national symbol in Russia. "The red fiery color of the berries represents beauty in Russian culture and together with sweet raspberries [mentioned as Мали́нкa, Malinka, in the second line of the song's refrain] it symbolises the passionate love of a beautiful maiden, since berries were always an erotic symbol in Russia.[...] The bitter side of the red fruit also symbolizes love separation in Russian folk culture." en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Viburnum_opulus
