Shisen-dō (詩仙堂) is a Buddhist temple of the Sōtō Zen sect in Sakyō-ku, Kyoto, Japan. It is registered as a historic site of Japan. It stands on the grounds of its founder, the Edo period intellectual Ishikawa Jōzan (1583–1672), who established the temple in 1641.
A room in the main temple displays portraits of thirty-six Chinese poets. The selection of the poets was based on the opinion of Hayashi Razan. The portraits were executed by Kanō Tan'yū. This and some other parts of the building date to the time of Ishikawa Jōzan.
The temple's gardens are considered masterworks of Japanese gardens.[1] One of them includes a device called a sōzu, a type of shishi-odoshi designed to scare away wild animals such as deer by making a loud noise. Water trickles into a bamboo tube, and when it reaches a certain level, it upsets the balance of the tube. The tube tips over on a pivot, discharging the water, and turns upright, striking a rock and emitting a loud clapping noise.
The Parnaíba Delta is considered one of the most beautiful landscapes in the world.

FAFE (Portugal): Casa do Penedo.
Casa construída nos anos 70 (terminada em 1974) a partir do aproveitamento de quatro rochas. As paredes externas foram revestidas com pedregulhos, semelhantes às rochas originais.
A casa tem dois pisos. No primeiro há uma sala e uma pequena cozinha. No andar de cima, uma casa de banho e três quartos. Tudo bem pequeno, inclusive as camas, para caber no espaço deixado pelas pedras.
Just a few more shots with my Infra Red converted compact camera. Yesterday I showed you some shots taken in a park. Today the focus is a little more on urban street shots. In this composition I am using the idea of the vanishing point. The lines direct our attention to the trees at the end of the lane that show the most obvious IR effect. The counterpoint to this is the arrow pointing out.
"Glória a ti nessa altura sagrada
És o eterno farol, és o guia
És, Senhor, sentinela avançada
És a guarda imortal da Bahia."

Prece ao Vento
Vento que balança as palhas do coqueiro
Vento que encrespa as ondas do mar
Vento que assanha os cabelos da morena
Me trás notícia de lá
Vento que assovia no telhado
Chamando para a lua espiar
Vento que na beira lá da praia
Escutava o meu amor a cantar
Hoje estou sozinho e tu também
Triste, mas lembrando do meu bem
Vento diga, por favor,
Aonde se escondeu o meu amor
Vento diga, por favor,
Aonde se escondeu o meu amor
Vento que balança as palhas do coqueiro
Vento que encrespa as ondas do mar
Vento que assanha os cabelos da morena
Me trás notícia de lá
Vento que assovia no telhado
Chamando para a lua espiar
Vento que na beira lá da praia
Escutava o meu amor a cantar
Hoje estou sozinho e tu também
Triste mas lembrando do meu bem
Vento diga, por favor,
Aonde se escondeu o meu amor
Vento diga, por favor,
Aonde se escondeu o meu amor
Vento diga, por favor,
Aonde se escondeu o meu amor
Vento diga, por favor,
Aonde se escondeu o meu amor

Horseshoe Creek (a thread of the Teton River) flows slowly through the northwestern part of Teton Valley, Idaho.
ARCOS DE VALDEVEZ (Portugal): Espigueiros do Soajo.
O conjunto dos Espigueiros de Soajo compõem uma eira comunitária constituída por 24 espigueiros, todos em pedra e assentes num afloramento de granito. O mais antigo data de 1782. Alguns destes espigueiros são ainda hoje utilizados pela população. (Wikipédia)
O por-do-sol era tão lindo, as luzes começavam a acender na rua enquanto o dia chegava ao fim. Foquei, cliquei. Desfoquei, cliquei e eis o resultado: dois pontos, como se contemplassem o por-do-sol, feito namorados.
Ô imaginação. Eu preciso parar com isso, rs.
Norte Grande, Velas de São Jorge, Azores, Portugal.
São Jorge is the island of the cliffs and fajãs. The fajãs are permanent debris fields along the coast, built from the collapsing cliffs and, on this island, there are more than 40.
Situated on the North Coast on the bottom of a cliff around 400 meters high, Fajã do Ouvidor is one of the largest and most populated. It took its name due to its association with Valério Lopes de Azevedo, the superintendent ("Ouvidor" in Portuguese) of the Donatary-Captain at the time, who was one of the principal property owners.
Norte Grande, Velas de São Jorge, Açores, Portugal.
São Jorge é a ilha das arribas, falésias e principalmente das fajãs. As fajãs são pequenas planícies junto à costa, que tiveram origem em desabamentos de terras ou lava e, nesta ilha, existem mais de quarenta.
Situada na costa norte e no sopé de uma falésia que ronda os quatrocentos metros de altura, a Fajã do Ouvidor é uma das maiores e mais povoadas. Tomou o seu nome pelo facto de Valério Lopes de Azevedo, Ouvidor do Capitão Donatário, ter sido um dos seus principais proprietários.
Pffft, the weather is so, so miserable here at the moment, so here's another shot of Dusty, our house rabbit, having fun bouncing around the garden when the weather was better.
“Pavilhão do Conhecimento – Ciência Viva”
wurde vom Architekten
João Luís Carrilho da Graça
entworfen und im Jahr 1999 mit dem Großen Preis des portugiesischen Architektenverbands ausgezeichnet.
Somit stellt dieses Gebäude ein Musterbeispiel für die architektonischen Veränderungen dar, die im Zuge der Weltausstellung EXPO'98 in Lissabon stattgefunden haben.
Mit durchschnittlich 800 Besuchern pro Tag ist der “Pavilhão do Conhecimento – Ciência Viva” heute eines der meistfrequentierten Museen in Portugal.
Habe euch zum Vergleich ein Foto von einem Tadao-Ando-Bau hinzugefügt.
Man sieht ganz deutlich, dass die europäischen Architekten oft nicht so sehr auf die Gestaltung des Betons durch die Schaltafeln achten und dass die Löcher der Schalungsanker oft eher zufällig platziert sind.
Das Baumodul ist hier in der Regel ein Vielfaches von 12,5 cm. Die Schaltafeln dürften hier 50 x 150 groß sein.
Bei Tadao Ando haben die Schaltafeln das Tatamimaß, also ca. 90 x 180.
85,0 cm × 170 cm (Tatami-Standardgröße für große Wohn- und Bürogebäude)
88,0 cm × 176 cm (in Tokio und in Ostjapan)
91,0 cm × 182 cm (in Nordjapan)
95,5 cm × 191 cm (in Kyōto und Westjapan)
Tadao Ando ergänzt später die konischen Vertiefungen, die auf die frühere Lage der Schalungsanker hinweisen, oft durch künstliche Bohrungen, um eine japanischen Glückszahl zu erreichen.
Bei João Luís Carrilho da Graça scheinen sie eher willkürlich.
Hilde wird jetzt einige Japanbilder zeigen, durch die ihr vielleicht wieder auf diesen Unterschied aufmerksam werdet.

A campaign to prevent the Chamber of Deputies vote a project to reduce the legal reserve of the Amazon is being conducted by Greenpeace with support from other civil society organisations. The PL 6424/2005, called "Forest 0", reducing the reserves of the Amazon legal private property from 80% to 50% and allows an offset deforestation in different areas of the originals. The text, authored by Senator Flexa Ribeiro (PSDB-PA), also opens space for the planting of so-called energy plants (such as palm, castor bean, babassu and sugar cane). To support the campaign, sign here (I found it only in portuguese):

Legend of Lagoa do Abaeté
The central theme of Abaeté Lagoon legend relates that an Indian was getting married and the day set for the wedding, the Indian did not show up. The India was ready to party waiting, but nothing groom appear, disappearing as if by magic. The Indian began to cry and her tears were so many, that gave to form the lagoon and her wedding veil, have formed the Abaeté dunes.
A least bittern papa leaving the nest after feeding the young ones. According to the dude I was standing next to, the chicks are about 5 to 7 days old and haven't shown themselves yet. Mama and papa have been very busy bring food back to the nest though. These are tiny little herons. Seeing this guy fly this morning, his main body seemed to be about fist sized. Long neck though. These aren't often seen in the Phoenix area, but we've seen a couple broods this year. Riparian Preserve at Water Ranch in Gilbert, AZ
Opinions are very wellcome and I'd like to know if anyone as tried this technique. I was unsuccessful when looking for similar images.
Cachoeira do Buracão - Bahia - Brazil
In the southern tip of Chapada Diamantina, Buracão ("Big Hole") is one of the area's most beautiful waterfalls, dropping from a height of about 85 meters, or nearly 279 feet, into a canyon formed by layers of sedimentary rock.
The waterfall is in the Espalhado Natural Municipal Park in Ibicoara, one of the main gateways to Chapada Diamantina and an area rich in options for ecotourism and adventure travel.
