"In the future the greatness of a nation will not be judged by its advance in technology or by its achievements in architecture, art or sports, but by the amount of nature and biodiversity that it can hand over to the next generation."
Prof. Dr. Markus Borner, former Director of Frankfurt Zoological Society's Africa Programme

Ten years ago, for the International Year of Biodiversity, 2010 I have created an extra album. If you want, you can have a look here.
We ought not to ask why the human mind troubles to fathom the secrets of the universe. The diversity of the phenomena of nature is so great, and the treasures hidden in the skies so rich, precisely in order that the human mind shall never be lacking in fresh nourishment.
― Johannes Kepler

"La vida esta en la diversidad, no en la monotonía"
The project was launched by the late president of the United Arab Emirates (UAE), Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan, who wanted to establish a structure that would unite the cultural diversity of the Islamic world with the historical and modern values of architecture and art.
A Richardson’s geranium (Geranium richardsonii) leaf glows in a light fleck traveling across the forest floor littered with fallen aspen leaves. The reds of the geranium leaf, along with the strawberry leaves (Frageria virginiana) in the background, are provided by anthocyanin pigments formerly masked by the more dominant green chlorophyll. The yellow and orange aspen leaves are colored by xanthophyll and carotenoid pigments. These non-green pigments help increase light capture for photosynthesis, as well as protect the plant against ultraviolet light, cold temperatures, and pathogens. Whatever their role the combination of the pigments and the resulting diversity of colors makes autumn a lovely season, at least for a few days in this forest.

Solo lo spirito può suscitare la diversità, la pluralità, la molteplicità e allo stesso tempo fare l'unità. Perché quando siamo noi a voler fare la diversità facciamo gli scismi e quando siamo noi a voler fare l'unità facciamo l'uniformità, l'omologazione.
(Papa Francesco)
Only the spirit can stir diversity, plurality, multiplicity and at the same time making the unit. Because when we want to make the difference we make schisms and when are we to want to make the unit do the uniformity, the approval.
(Pope Francesco)
Standing on the side of a logging road and looking out into Vancouver Island's rain forest, one cannot help but be amazed at the diversity of nature up in the trees. You need to stand there for a while and take it all in.
There is certainly a lot of it in Costa Rica. Lots of different species occupying the same specific environment is a sign of a healthy ecosystem.
Haven't posted a shot of one of my favourite birds for a while!

Possibly one of the best artists in Barcelona. He perfectly combines colors and creates a very interesting color palette. Manu Twice is an expert in creating textures, reliefs, volumes and shadows that make his murals come to life. A world of sensations, memories and humor surround you when you find yourself in front of one of them.
