Best part of the day.

So enjoyed visiting Rainbow Falls in Hilo, Hawaii in Wailuku River State Park. They cascade 80' down over a lava cave which is said to be the mythological home to Hina, an ancient Hawaiian goddess. Rainbows are commonly seen in the mist thrown up by the waterfall in the morning. Unfortunately none were spotted on our first visit, so I guess we'll have to return another time.

Europa building, Brussels, Belgium.

Apparently, the facade was built from re-used windows frames from all over Europe.

Original design (1923): Michel Polak, in Art Deco style.

This section (Bloc A) was designed in 2005 by Philippe Samyn and Partners (architects and engineers), lead and design partner, in collaboration with Studio Valle Progettazioni (architects), and Buro Happold (engineers).

One of my favorite hikes in the park, my favorite tree framing a favorite view. I love Joshua Tree.

The frame...

Does it contain us or limit us?

Is it a shelter or a prison?

Is it a place of calm or restlessness?

Is it a space of loneliness or encounter?

Of opportunities or frustrations?

Maybe sometimes it can be more than one thing at a time...

De hortensiafamilie (Hydrangeaceae) is een familie van tweezaadlobbige planten, meest kruidachtige planten en heesters. De familie komt voor in warmere gematigde streken en enkele soorten ervan ook in de tropen. In Nederland komen twee geslachten voor die als sierstruik in cultuur zijn en soms verwilderd gedijen: boerenjasmijn (Philadelphus) en Deutzia. Veel gekweekt wordt ook de Hortensia (Hydrangea).

The Uraeus is an ancient symbol that represents the cobra the animal representation of the goddess Wadjet of royalty. The symbol is the embodiment of sovereignty, royalty, and divine authority. The ancient Egyptians believed that the Uraeus symbol can provide magical powers and protection according to the myth of the cobra that was given to the pharaohs from the god Geb of the earth as a sign of kingship. The Uraeus was used as an ornament for statuary, was found on the top of his crown, and as an adornment on the pharaoh plus for jewellery and in amulets. It was also used in hieroglyph that represents a shrine or a building.
