Would you like a super shower?
Let's go!
The Iguaçu Falls are formed by a whirlwind of waters that are thrown by the high slopes of basalt, creating an incomparable spectacle.
The three musketeers head out into the neighborhood looking for adventure...
Let's keep working together to create a wonder-full world founded on kindness and compassion!
It's amazing what we can do when we cooperate.
So let's head into our communities and lift others up up up.
And and and Skippy created his universe with the help of Little Branch's amazing Flowering Dogwood and Poplar Trees, Apple Fall's Hardwick Manor, and Thor's Sidewalk.
Keep shining so bright, my friends!
Encore une superbe réalisation mettant cette fois ci en scène les trois mousquetaires d'Alexandre Dumas. L'immeuble fut réalisé par Niklas František dans la première décennie du XXe siècle. Il met donc en scène les fameux mousquetaires de Louis XIII en haut de cet immeuble luxueux de cinq étages aux influences historicistes (renaissance et baroque). La proximité avec la rue de Paris n'est surement pas totalement étranger aux choix des personnages. Mais il faut bien l'avouer que c'est quand même quelque chose d'assez rare de voir l'inspiration vers une œuvre littéraire encore récente (~ 60ans), peut-être que ça été un véritable coup de cœur pour le maitre d'œuvre ou d'ouvrage, qui sait.

It looks as if the Three Musketeers are having a committee meeting, and find the topic somewhat amusing!
Return to this site/sight, this time with advanced coreography in tow. Girl Power, or as suggested below - Charlie's Angels? Thank you girls :-)
...a collection. Athos, Porthos, and Aramis.

The bar-headed goose is one of the world's highest-flying birds, having been heard flying across Mount Makalu – the fifth highest mountain on earth at 8,481 m (27,825 ft) – and apparently seen over Mount Everest – 8,848 m (29,029 ft) – although this is a second-hand report with no verification. This demanding migration has long puzzled physiologists and naturalists: "there must be a good explanation for why the birds fly to the extreme altitudes... particularly since there are passes through the Himalaya at lower altitudes, and which are used by other migrating bird species." In fact, bar-headed geese have never been directly tracked (using GPS or satellite logging technology) flying higher than 6,540 metres (21,460 ft), and it is now believed that they do take the high passes through the mountains. The challenging northward migration from lowland India to breed in the summer on the Tibetan Plateau is undertaken in stages, with the flight across the Himalaya (from sea-level) being undertaken non-stop in as little as seven hours. Surprisingly, despite predictable tail winds that blow up the Himalayas (in the same direction of travel as the geese), bar-headed geese spurn these winds, waiting for them to die down overnight, when they then undertake the greatest rates of climbing flight ever recorded for a bird, and sustain these climbs rates for hours on end, according to research published in 2011.

De drie musketiers (Les trois mousquetaires) is een verhaal dat werd geschreven door de Franse schrijver Alexandre Dumas.
Het werd voor het eerst als boek gepubliceerd in 1844. Daarvoor schreef Dumas voor een Parijse krant regelmatig stukjes van het verhaal.
Dumas liet zich inspireren door bestaande verhalen, grotendeels waar gebeurd, die gebundeld waren in een boek dat in de bibliotheek van Marseille stond. Hij heeft het boek daar geleend, mee naar Parijs genomen en nooit meer teruggebracht. In dit boek stonden de heldendaden beschreven van diverse legendarische musketiers uit de zeventiende eeuw.
Het speelt zich af rond 1627, ten tijde van kardinaal Richelieu en koning Lodewijk XIII. De drie musketiers (een soort van eregarde voor de Franse koning in de 17e eeuw) zijn Aramis, Athos en Porthos. Hoewel ze bekend staan als de drie musketiers spelen hun avonturen zich af met vier personen. De vierde musketier is waarschijnlijk zelfs de bekendste: D'Artagnan.
Hun beroemde motto was: "Eén voor allen, allen voor één!"
The Three Musketeers (French: Les Trois Mousquetaires) is a novel by Alexandre Dumas, père. Set in the seventeenth century, it recounts the adventures of a young man named d'Artagnan after he leaves home to become a guard of the musketeers. D'Artagnan is not one of the musketeers of the title; those are his friends Athos, Porthos, and Aramis; inseparable friends who live by the motto "all for one, one for all" ("tous pour un, un pour tous").
The “waterfall bath” is indescribable, the fog and profuse water punctuate the spectacle that has its high point in the waterfalls named “Three Musketeers”. The pilot approaches the vessel to provide a quick and fun bath, where everyone leaves drenched. The feeling of being literally under one of the falls is indescribable, it is like washing your soul and feeling renewed.
Os principais saltos são 19, cinco deles do lado brasileiro (Floriano, Deodoro e Benjamin Constant, Santa Maria e União) e os demais no lado argentino. A disposição dos saltos, com a maior parte deles no lado argentino e voltados para o Brasil, proporciona a melhor vista para quem observa o cenário a partir do Brasil.

Nicholas Fouquet (1615-1680) was the Minister of Finance in France from 1653 to 1661 under King Louis XIV. He fell out of favor with the king because of his extravagant expenditures and displays of wealth and the king had him imprisoned from 1661 until his death in 1680.
Fouquet had spent enormous sums in building a magnificent chateau on his estate of Vaux-le-Vicomte at Maincy. Fouquet's story is often entwined with that of Alexandre Dumas' classic novel "Man in the Iron Mask".......the man who is often identified as the true king or as an identical twin brother of Louis XIV. In the story, Aramis, an ally of Fouquet, tries to seize power by replacing Louis XIV with his identical twin brother. It is Fouquet who, out of loyalty to the king, foils Aramis' plot and saves Louis. This doesn't, however, prevent Fouquet's downfall.
Displayed in the dungeon below Fouquet's Chateau de Vaux-le-Vicomte is this replica of the 'Man in the Iron Mask'. In this cold, dark celler it is quite realistic and a rather frightening sight.
O sistema consiste de 275 cachoeiras ao longo de 2,7 km do rio Iguaçu. Algumas das quedas individuais têm até 82 metros de altura, embora a maioria tenha cerca de 64 metros
From the back cover:
Woven into the adventurous, action-packed fabric of immortal d'Artagnan and his daring swordsmen comes the new and absorbing Tiffany Thayer saga of strange, seductive Milady de Winter, a branded beauty living beyond 17th century conventions; a hot-blooded hussy inescapably at the whim of her own unquenchable desires; a woman -- forever seeking surcease . . .
Here is the court of Louis XIII -- all the rioutous color, swashbuckling pageantry, and keen swordplay of a Dumas story with Tiffany Thayer's new and unusual understanding of a woman's soul -- and body; when slim steel held the key to survival by day and Milady's lush charms gave completion by night . . .
Here are all the attractions and antagonisms of exotic adventure -- England versus France, rags versus riches, convent versus bagnio, gallants and their courtesans -- all brought alive by the warm strokes of a knowing story-teller.
