Cinderella, for her twenty years,
Is the prettiest of all children.
Her handsome lover,
Prince Charming,
Takes her away on his white horse.
She forgets time,
In his palace of riches
Not noticing a new day dawning,
She shuts her eyes,
And in her dreams,
She goes.
Pretty little story.
Cinderella, for her thirty years,
Is the saddest of all mothers.
Prince Charming
Has fucked off
With Sleeping Beauty.
She saw a hundred white horses
Taking her children far from her.
She begins to drink,
Frequent the bars
Wrapped up in her despair,
She wanders the streets.
She goes.
Pretty little story.
Ten years of this life were enough
For her to become a junkie.
And in a neverending sleep,
Cinderella sees the end of her life.
The lights dance
In the ambulance
But she kills her last chance
None of it is important anymore.
She goes.
End of story.
Our Father who is so old,
Have you really done your best?
For when the land is in the sky,
Your angels don't like to become old

Pose from The Senses
in the 2002 film project, Ten Minutes Older - where Fifteen Cinematographers talk about Time in ten minutes of the film, accompanied by Hugh Masekela - trumpet, and cello Claudio Bojorquez, to music by Paul Englishby.. Love it!
The list of directors includes Bernardo Bertolucci and his brilliant Segment "Histoire d'eaux". B&W, minimalistic, the one where a young man and an old man from a group of Indian illegal immigrants are unloaded from a truck in the Italian countryside.
And where the young man goes to fetch water for the old man, runs into the girl, fixes her moped, helps her in her restaurant, they get married, have a baby... a whole life has passed — until an accident wakes the young man, who hears the old man's flute again.
A whole life has passed, and the old man is still there, waiting for the young man to bring him water.. This is one of my favorite films ... just remembered this while looking at this magical cow under the tree, and wanted to share!
Watch this movie if you haven't seen it.. It's wonderful
P.S.
I chose this frame when scanning film based on the ratio of light to dark and the texture in the frame. Believe me, I have a take without an apple from a cow in the foreground, but I think it brings life to the image, it can breathe life into this picture, a little bit this sacred Indian cow dung! )))))
Have a magical evening to all of you!

"Madame Meilland" est un trésor végétal sauvé de la seconde guerre mondiale. Voici son histoire:
Afin de protéger sa création de l'invasion de la France par l' Allemagne en juin 40, Francis Meilland fit parvenir ses boutures à des amis basés en Turquie, en Italie et en Allemagne.
La plante fut aussi envoyée aux Etats-Unis sous forme de quelques greffons, via le consul américain qui utilisa le dernier avion à quitter la région lyonnaise en 1942. La variété fut ainsi préservée par Robert Pyle, un rosiériste de Pensylvanie, ami américain de la famille Meilland depuis 1933.
A l'automne 1942, F. Meilland publia cette nouvelle rose dans le catalogue de l'entreprise, lui attribuant le nom de sa mère décédée 10 ans plus tôt: "Madame Antoine Meilland".
Après la signature de l'armistice le 8 mai 1945, F. Meilland reçut une nouvelle inattendue de la part de Robert Pyle: Il avait officiellement lancé la commercialisation du rosier N° 3-35-40 sous le nom de "PEACE". Le baptême avait été organisé par l'American Rose Society à Pasadena en Californie en présence des vedettes de cette époque.
C'était le jour de la chute de Berlin, date considérée comme marquant la fin de la Seconde Guerre Mondiale en Europe !!!
La nouvelle "Rose Peace" fut offerte aux 49 personnes des différents pays, qui, le 26 juin 1945 se réunirent à San Francisco pour constituer l'ONU.
Une "ROSE DE LA PAIX" était posée sur le bureau de chacun des délégués, accompagnée de cette note: "NOUS ESPERONS QUE LA ROSE "PEACE" PORTERA LES PENSEES HUMAINES VERS UNE PAIX DURABLE DANS LE MONDE"...
Quand la petite histoire rejoint la grande Histoire...
J'aurai toujours un rosier "Madame Meilland" (dit "Peace Rose" en anglais) dans mon jardin... De plus elle est magnifique !
En ces temps agités, violents, que "Madame Meilland", la rose la plus célèbre du monde, en inspire quelques uns...
Slava Ukraini !
Here is the History of the rose "Madame Meilland" or "PEACE ROSE":
The history of "Peace Rose" and how it came about is a fascinating story wich is well worth telling.
In 1935, the French rose breeder Françis Meilland chose fifty seedlings from his seed beds. One of which was labelled 3-35-40. Over the next few years, F. Meilland watched its development with interest and planned to launch the new rose as "Madame Antoine Meilland" in honour of his mother.
However, a few months later, Hitler invaded France and the future of the rose nursery looked dire. To ensure that the new rose was not lost forever, F. Meilland managed to get 3 parcels of budwood out of the country, one of which was smuggled out in a diplomatic bag on the last plane out of France. The budwood was sent to another rose breeder, Robert Pyle, in Pensylvania, USA.
Over the next few years, F. Meilland launched his new rose in France as "Madame Antoine Meilland". He was not aware that some of the budwood had reached Germany, and Italy and the rose was being sold under different names. In Germany, it was called "Gloria Dei", and in Italy "Gioia".
F. Meilland had not had any word from America and had no idea the fate of his rose over there.
It was not untill liberation of France in 1945, that F. Meilland finally heard from Robert Pyle that the rose had survived the war and was being grown successfully.
In the meantime, F. Meilland had decided to change the name of the rose. He wrote to Field Marshall Alan Brooke to thank him for his part in the liberation of France, and to ask him if he would give his name to the rose. The Field Marshall declined stating that a far more fitting name would be "PEACE".
The new name "Peace" was publicly announced in America by Robert Pyle on the 29th April 1945, the very day that Berlin fell and was officialy considered the end of Second World War in Europe.
Towards the end of 1945, "Peace Roses" were given to each of the delegations at the inaugural meeting of the UNITED NATIONS in San Francisco each with a note which read
"We HOPE THE "PEACE ROSE" WILL INFLUENCE MEN'S THOUGHTS FOR EVERLASTING WORLD PEACE"...
I will always have a rosebush "Peace Rose" in my garden...
Besides, it is gorgeous !
In these turbulent, violent times, may "Peace rose" the most famous rose in the world, inspire some...
Slava Ukraini !
Paris.

L’histoire du pont commence en 1878, lors de la troisième exposition universelle de Paris qui se tient sur le champ de Mars de mai à octobre. Une passerelle métallique réservée aux piétons est construite entre les 15e et 16e arrondissements en prenant appui sur la petite île aux Cygnes.
Quelques années plus tard, un concours vient pérenniser l’ouvrage: des travaux effectués entre 1903 et 1906 donnent naissance au pont tel que nous le connaissons aujourd’hui. Disposant de deux étages, il permet alors la traversée des voitures et des piétons au premier niveau et le passage des métros au deuxième étage. C’est en est fini de l’exclusivité piétonnière !
C’est Jean-Camille Formigé (1845-1926), architecte de la Ville de Paris, qui dirige les travaux de construction et de décoration du pont. Louis Biette, ingénieur, est également en charge du projet.
Le début du XXe siècle coïncide avec le développement rapide du métro parisien. Les prouesses techniques permettent de sortir le métro de terre et de lui faire traverser la Seine au sommet du pont. Les usagers et usagères peuvent alors profiter d’une vue incomparable sur la Dame de Fer.
Avec l’essor du 7e art, des appareils photos et du tourisme, le pont de Bir-Hakeim, de par sa localisation mais surtout grâce à son architecture, devient le chouchou des touristes et des artistes.
The history of the bridge begins in 1878, during the third Universal Exhibition in Paris which is held on the Champ de Mars from May to October. A metal footbridge reserved for pedestrians is built between the 15th and 16th arrondissements, resting on the small island of Swans.
A few years later, a competition came to perpetuate the work: work carried out between 1903 and 1906 gave birth to the bridge as we know it today. With two floors, it then allows the crossing of cars and pedestrians on the first level and the passage of metros on the second floor. This is the end of pedestrian exclusivity!
It was Jean-Camille Formigé (1845-1926), architect for the City of Paris, who directed the construction and decoration of the bridge. Louis Biette, engineer, is also in charge of the project.
The beginning of the 20th century coincides with the rapid development of the Paris metro. Technical prowess enabled the metro to be lifted from the ground and cross the Seine at the top of the bridge. Users can then enjoy an incomparable view of the Iron Lady.
With the rise of the 7th art, cameras and tourism, the Bir-Hakeim bridge, due to its location but above all thanks to its architecture, has become the darling of tourists and artists.

Quelle histoire ? chacun la sienne. Pour un chien beaucoup auraient dit : "sur la tombe de son maître". Certains préfèreront ici "le chasseur de lézards" ou même "plein soleil". Et après tout, c'est peut-être tout ça à la fois, et ce que vous voudrez en plus.

🇫🇷 L’histoire du lac est assez méconnue jusqu’au départ des Ottomans en 1875. Le congrès de Berlin fixe la frontière entre le Monténégro et l’Albanie sur le lac Skadar. La ville du même nom, fondée par les Slaves, fait désormais partie de l’Albanie, qui la renomme Shkodër. Le lac est toujours resté un lieu stratégique. Durant les deux Guerres mondiales, le lac Skadar est aussi le théâtre d’âpres batailles. En 1983, la Yougoslavie créé le parc national du lac Skadar afin d’en préserver sa biodiversité.
🇬🇧 The history of the lake was relatively unknown until the Ottomans left in 1875. The Congress of Berlin established the border between Montenegro and Albania on Lake Skadar. The town of the same name, founded by the Slavs, became part of Albania, which renamed it Shkodër. The lake has always been a strategic location. During the two World Wars, Lake Skadar was also the scene of bitter battles. In 1983, Yugoslavia created the Skadar Lake National Park to preserve the lake's biodiversity.

🇩🇪 Die Geschichte des Sees ist bis zum Abzug der Osmanen im Jahr 1875 ziemlich unbekannt. Auf dem Berliner Kongress wurde die Grenze zwischen Montenegro und Albanien am Skadarsee festgelegt. Die gleichnamige, von Slawen gegründete Stadt gehörte fortan zu Albanien, das sie in Shkodër umbenannte. Der See war schon immer ein strategisch wichtiger Ort. Während der beiden Weltkriege war der Skadarsee auch Schauplatz erbitterter Schlachten. Im Jahr 1983 gründete Jugoslawien den Nationalpark Skadarsee, um die Artenvielfalt des Sees zu erhalten.

Lightly Salmon Pink.
The rose is the most popular flower of all.
No other plant has had such a rich and romantic heritage as the rose, and no other flower has been interpreted in nearly as many ways as the rose.
The most common emotion associated with the rose is affection and love.
Hope you have a day full of love and thank you for visiting and commenting, Magda, (*_*)
