the sea to the land … who saw them once, shall possess them for a lifetime

 

J.W. Goethe

Fortaleza, Brazil. This scene pretty much looked like the painting I bought in one São Paulo gallery. I became to understand the artistic style and background of the painter thru this scene. The balance between the unlikely harmonious elements of nature and urban. I just love this strangeness.

Tra Co - the beach is known as "the most lyrical in Vietnam" - an intact, harmonious, idyllic beauty with smooth white sand stretching flat on the blue sea of four seasons.

The landscape overwhelms, not just by its beauty but also by its size. The fragile pinnacles of rock are surrounded by miles of mesas and buttes, shrubs, trees and windblown sand, all comprising the magnificent colors of the valley. All of this harmoniously combines to make Monument Valley a truly wondrous experience

Motor vessel Schwyz

is an icon of 1950s shipbuilding. The harmonious design and tall appearance of this distinctive vessel is modelled after the great ocean liners of that era and brings understated grandeur to Lake Lucerne.

A cat in greenery is a harmonious combination ... however, cats are always and everywhere harmonious :)

 

The ancient Egyptians had a special relationship with cats: they were revered as sacred animals; mummified like humans; depicted in sculpture and frescoes. And the very first cat "portrait" was written by the Egyptians.

 

For a long time it was believed that the Egyptians tamed cats. However, in 2004, a burial site dating back to 9500 BC was discovered in Cyprus. e., in which a cat was found together with a man. A wild beast would hardly have been put in a grave. It turned out that cats lived with people long before they appeared in Egypt. The Middle East began to be considered the birthplace of domestic cats, and Egypt was forgotten for some time. But not for long: in 2008, a burial was opened in southern Egypt, in which six cats were found - a male, a female and four kittens. Although this burial was younger than the Cypriot one (about 6000 years), it became clear that cats were known in Egypt much earlier than was thought until recently.

It is known that the ancestor of the domestic cat was the steppe cat Felis silvestris lybica - it still lives in the steppe, desert and partly mountainous regions of Africa, Western, Central and Central Asia, in Northern India, Transcaucasia and Kazakhstan. In 2007, it was possible to establish that all modern cats descended from him.

 

Seafarers brought the first cats to Rus' in the pre-Christian era. Exotic animals were a valuable commodity: the cost of a cat until the 15th century was comparable to the value of a healthy arable animal - an ox.

The historical village of Piódão is reminiscent of a crib because of the harmonious way in which its houses are arranged in the form of an amphitheatre.

The entire village of Piodão is made of almost entirely of schist, including the roads and paths between houses.

  

Thank you for your visits comments and favs! :-)

The events of Pentecost are described in the second chapter of the Acts of the Apostles. After Jesus' ascension, the disciples gathered together with Mary, the mother of Jesus, in Jerusalem. Suddenly they heard a noise and flames appeared to them and descended on each one of them. This filled them with the Holy Spirit.

Maybe it even looked like that, maybe not...

Titans - The Harmony Tree

 

L’Italia senza la Sicilia, non lascia nello spirito immagine alcuna. È in Sicilia che si trova la chiave di tutto. La purezza dei contorni, la morbidezza di ogni cosa, la cedevole scambievolezza delle tinte, l’unità armonica del cielo col mare e del mare con la terra… chi li ha visti una sola volta, li possederà per tutta la vita.

(Goethe)

Castellammare del Golfo (Casteddammari in siciliano) è un comune della provincia di Trapani.

-----------------------------

 

Italy without Sicily, leaves no image in the spirit. The key to everything is in Sicily. The purity of the contours, the softness of everything, the yielding exchange of colors, the harmonious unity of the sky with the sea and the sea with the earth ... those who have seen them only once, will possess them for life.

(Goethe)

Castellammare del Golfo (Casteddammari in Sicilian) is a municipality in the province of Trapani.

“Oh yes, it was my Venice! Beautiful,

With melancholy, ghostly beauty—old,

And sorrowful, and weary—yet so fair,

So like a queen still, with her royal robes,

Full of harmonious colour, rent and worn!”

― Ada Cambridge, The Manor House and Other Poems

In Serra do Caparaó, as expected in mountain areas, the vegetation changes gradually, according to the altitude. The Atlantic forest reigns in the lower parts of the Park — beautiful, it creates an immense green carpet, which protects the slopes. Angicos, lent trees, palm trees, jequitibás and several other species, exclusive to this ecosystem, mix in a harmonious confusion. With altitude, the landscape gives way to the formation of fields: the higher the location, the more rocky vegetation is distributed over the rocks. In the Minas Gerais part of the Park, the vegetation is a little drier, as it is not influenced by sea winds.

 

The tropical rain forest (Atlantic forest) goes up to about 1,800 meters; from 1,800 to 2,400 meters, are the altitude fields, with shrub formations next to the tropical rain forest, in which the flora is formed mainly by grasses — such as canes, bromeliads, mosses and orchids, in addition to cinnamon-de-ema and evergreens. cheers. Above 2,400 meters, there are clean fields. There are stony soils and species adapted to intense cold, frost and ice crust. On the slopes of Espírito Santo, the Atlantic Forest predominates.

 

It is, therefore, a very important Park for the preservation of Brazilian biodiversity, mainly because it is a region where the Atlantic Forest predominates, with many centenary trees. It also preserves an extensive water network, with several springs and, due to the steep slope, streams, waterfalls, lakes and natural pools with pure and crystalline waters. In addition, it protects endemic species of fauna and flora. Among the population of animals, specimens threatened with extinction can be found, such as the jaguar, the ocelot, the Moorish cat, the jacutinga, the harpy eagle, the tapir and the macuco.

 

Also noteworthy are the mono-carvoeiro, the maned wolf and the pampas deer. Other important animals are the astute wild dogs, the capuchin monkey and the raccoon, which takes its name from the hairless hand that leaves footprints similar to those of a child. In addition to more than thousands of species of insects and reptiles and countless amphibians. Still in the region, there is a large but friendly species that can, with great luck, be found: the endangered muriqui — the largest monkey in the Americas. Of birds, more than 300 species are known. Tangarás, tanagers, orange thrushes, toucans, seriema, hawk, saracura, jacu and parrot adorn the sky in high or low flights.

 

Between ups and downs, there is also no lack of water. The Park's drainage network is characterized by perennial small and medium-sized rivers. Vale Verde, for example, is formed by the Caparaó River and surrounded by a beautiful forest. Located close to the administrative headquarters, the Valley comprises the lowest areas of the Park, with less than 1,000 meters of altitude. The course of the river between the rocks forms small waterfalls and wells that create natural pools.

J'ai eu le privilège, avec mon ami Sylvain, d'entendre la délicieuse mélodie de cette Chouette rayée. Vous la voyez ici en plein chant la gorge gonflée. Elle s'est avancée un peu plus sur les abords de la cavité pour nous offrir son air harmonieux et puissant. Doux bonheur !

 

What a privilege to hear this Barred Owl singing powerfully its aria with my friend Sylvain. You can see here that its neck is all puffed up from the singing. It moved forward of the cavity to offer its most beautiful and harmonious song.

On a previous post of Cape Espichel - “Gateway To Heaven” (www.flickr.com/photos/142581467@N05/49885571788/in/datepo...) I’ve presented a view of the Nossa Senhora do Cabo Church, namely of its façade and the lateral accommodation wings.

 

This view here is taken from the other side (after crossing the “magic gate” mentioned in that post), on the area immediately preceding the sea (on my back as I was taking this shot) that was also the subject of a previous post here covering the nearby lighthouse (www.flickr.com/photos/142581467@N05/49912818718/in/datepo...).

 

The buildings here are simple but beautiful and blend harmoniously with the raw and wild, desolate place, where giant waves crash against sheer, towering cliffs. Whom could ask for a more inspiring view?

 

From the 13th century onwards this spot has been a place of pilgrimage. Legend tells that Virgin Mary was seen there, riding a giant mule. The church – “Nossa Senhora do Cabo Church” (Our Lady of the Cape, protectress of fishermen) – was built in 1701 and is worth a visit, to admire the ornately finished interior, beautifully painted ceiling and experience the tranquillity of the place.

Nikon D500, Sigma 60-600mm Sports lens, 600mm, f/8, 1/800, ISO 280. Drake and hen. Took the usual harmonious side by side duck shots, but decided to post one a bit different with a bit of dynamic tension as they passed each other heading for opposite sides of the frame. Liked the added bonus with the actual ring showing on the male during a behavioral neck-stretched display. View Large.

Cats are everywhere in Morocco. They live harmoniously with humans, but rather than pets, they are neighbors. many of them are associated with a particular shop or business. People often feed them, but they do their part by keeping the neighborhood free of pests. They appear in a huge variety of colors and patterns, but there are more ginger, calico, and tortoiseshell cats here than in many other places where cats have the run of the place. In Islam, cats are appreciated and considered clean; they are welcome in homes, shops, and even mosques.

UNIVERSITA' STATALE

100+ star

Sleeping Piles by Estudio Campana. Humberto Campana has created a lawn that alternates natural forms and artificial architectural curves: inspired by the colonnade of the courtyard, Campana has set up seven towers of 5 meters covered with grass that look like inverted columns, creating a play of mirrors between nature and artifice in a harmonious symbiosis between landscape, time and space. You can relax at the foot of the towers, leaving behind the chaos of the city.

On the search for a way to come near the effect of real IR-photographs with an effective layer software this came out as a first result.

 

I think this picture is not the end of the search but the result touches me somehow and that´s enough reason to show it here.

  

Thank you all for taking a look at my images, much appreciated!
