Many thanks to everyone for your visit, comments and faves! Much appreciated! 😊
Je suis venu plusieurs fois à cet endroit admirer de près la Roche de Solutré et je ne me lasse pas de cette vue spectaculaire.
Ce jour là, au coucher du soleil, la Roche et les vignes environnantes étaient illuminées de belles couleurs.

Rock at sunset
I went several times to this place closely admire Solutre'Rock and I don't get tired of this spectacular view.
On that day, at sunset, the Rock and the surrounding vineyards were illuminated with beautiful colors.

"600 Steps: l'esprit de l'escalier" Tokyo, Japan
Le Temple d'Or (en pendjabi, "Harmandir Sahib", signifiant « l'Illustre Temple de Dieu »).
C'est l'édifice le plus sacré des Sikhs. Il est situé au cœur de la ville d'Amritsar, au Pendjab, dans le nord ouest de l'Inde.
Le nom de « Temple d'Or » est dû à sa couverture dorée à l'or fin. Il date du début du 17ème siècle.

The Golden Temple (in Punjabi, "Harmandir Sahib", meaning "the Illustrious House of God").
It is the most sacred building of the Sikhs. It is located in the heart of the city of Amritsar, Punjab, in northwest India.
The name "Golden Temple" is due to its golden cover with fine gold. It dates from the early 17th century.

History of Anakena beach:
This idyllic oasis is more than sand, sea and sun on a remote island, because here are traces of the historical-cultural birth of Easter Island.
It was here where the first king of the Island known as Ariki Hotu Matu'a landed, who, in the company of his subjects, anchored roots to establish the first populated civilization, which gave rise to the Rapanui culture.
The name by which this beach is known has a rather particular origin, because it is inspired by a nearby cave, where Hotu Matu’a apparently established his personal residence.
Anakena Beach was also the epicenter of Chilean aboriginal populations, who conceived of this place as a meeting point between the masters of the Rapa Nui Rongo Rongo language.
50 shades of blue:
In Easter Island there are five coves or small bays (hanga in rapanui language) from which local fishermen go out to sea. The most remote are La Perouse on the northeast coast, Hanga Nui, near Ahu Tongariki, and Vaihu on the south coast.
View of the three Poike ma’ungas (hills) from the north coast:
At first sight the Poike only shows a landscape of gentle slopes, desolate meadows and steep cliffs that fall over the sea. However, this unique corner of the island contains several places of interest in which history and legends of Easter Island are mixed.
The three ma’ungas:
On the northern slope of the Poike peninsula, there are three unique mounds or domes formed by the superposition of multiple lava flows. Their names starting from the coast inland are Ma’unga Parehe (broken hill), Ma’unga Tea Tea (white hill) and Ma’unga Vai a Heva (magic water hill). These small elevations, that form a striking “crest” on the slope when they are seen from the north coast, have been the scene of several episodes in the history of the island.
These curious geological formations were used as trachyite quarries, a dense volcanic white stone, with which they carved several moai statues. Most of the statues that have been found in Poike were carved in this resistant material, although a few come from the Rano Raraku volcano.
In addition, taking advantage of its elevated position, small ahu or ceremonial platforms used by priests and sages during their sacred rites were built on the small plateaus of each of the three peaks. It is still possible to see some remains as the small and eroded statue on the top of Ma’unga Parehe, the closest to the cliff.
These hills were not only used by the natives of Rapa Nui to honor their ancestors and divinities, they were also spotted by the Spaniards who arrived in 1770 in the second European expedition that arrived on the island under the command of Felipe González de Haedo.
On the morning of November 20, 1770, a detachment of 250 men ascended to the Pu’i hill to recognize the terrain and complete the details of the first cartographic map of the island. Later, another group of 250 soldiers, sailors, officers and chaplains landed on the Ovahe beach with the mission of officially taking possession of the island.
This second detachment was joined by many islanders and together they went in procession to the Poike. After a difficult climb they planted three wooden crosses on the tops of the three hills or ma’ungas. The three “Viva el Rey” (long live the king) when raising each cross, accompanied by musket salvoes plus the 21 cannon shots of each of the two anchored boats, had to leave a strong impression on the ancient natives.
An act of formal possession of the island was written in the name of Carlos III, the King of Spain, and was named San Carlos Island, in honor of his majesty. The act, which was signed by several officers and three native chiefs, is the first known written document that contains signs similar to those of the Rongo Rongo tablets.
