The Putra Mosque, or Masjid Putra in Malay language, is the principal mosque of Putrajaya, Malaysia. Construction of the mosque began in 1997 and was completed two years later. It is located next to Perdana Putra which houses the Malaysian Prime Minister's office and man-made Putrajaya Lake. In front of the mosque is a large square with flagpoles flying Malaysian states' flags
In January 2015, the City of Broken Hill was included on the National Heritage Register. This register lists 106 other iconic landmarks such as the Sydney Harbour Bridge, Kakadu National Park, and the Australian Alps. Broken Hill is the first city to be listed. Extensive research and consultation with the Broken Hill community was a key part of the listing.
The National Heritage List is Australia’s pre-eminent heritage list recognising and protecting the nation’s most valued natural, indigenous, and historic heritage sites. Listing is the highest heritage honour in Australia and listed placed receive national attention and benefits from increased domestic and international tourism. Broken Hil has been assessed against the nine National Heritage Criteria, which include historic, aesthetic, and social values, creative and technical achievements, associations with significant peoples, and others.
The following is the Statement of Significance for the City of Broken Hill which was prepared as part of the listing process:
“The City of Broken Hill has outstanding significance to the nation for its role in creating enormous wealth, for its long, enduring and continuing mining operations, and the community’s deep and shared connection with Broken Hill as the isolated city in the desert, its outback landscape, the planned design and landscaping of the town, the regeneration areas and particularly the physical reminders of its mining origins such as the Line of Lode, the barren mullock heaps, tailings, skimps and slagheap escarpment and relict structures. It exhibits historic qualities in its ongoing mining operations since 1883, the current and relict mining infrastructure and its landscape setting. It is significant for its industrial past ….. together with its role as a pioneer in setting occupational health and safety standards.”
“It demonstrates the principal characteristics of a mining town in a remote location with extensive transport infrastructure and administrative connections to three state capitals and as a rare example of a place subject to Australia’s complex Federal system where differing administrative, social and economic influences are expressed in both tangible and intangible forms. It has social significance for its residents as a place of community pride, endurance, and as a remote mining community resilient to major social and economic change, Broken Hill has strong social significance for all Australians as a place where great wealth was created, as well as strong group associations with the Barrier Industrial Council. It exhibits outstanding aesthetic characteristics as a city in an arid desert setting, as the subject of interest for Australian artists, poets, film makers, TV producers and photographers.”
“It has significance as a place where outstanding technical achievement has occurred in refining ore for its minerals including the froth flotation process and the computer controlled on-stream analysis of slurries. Broken Hill is also important as a place of research potential to reveal further information on mineral deposits with its range of complex minerals. It is associated with person of great importance to Australia’s history, including Albert Morris (arid land regeneration), Charls Rasp (discoverer), Herbert Hoover (mining engineer), WL Baillieu, WA Robinson and MAE Mawby (industrialists), GD Delprat (metallurgist), Percy Brookfield and Eugene O’Neill (unionists). Broken Hill’s association with the Barrier Industrial Council as a group is also important.”
“The Broken Hill zinc-lead-silver ore deposit is one of the world’s largest ore bodies and contains an extraordinary array of minerals. It is geologically complex and has national scientific significance. The Broken Hill operation is significant for its immense size and unrecorded mineral species continue to be found. It contributes to an understanding of the formation of the Australian continent and more than 2, 300 million years of the earth’s history.”
The City of Broken Hill is delighted that the special heritage values of the city are recognised and celebrated nationally and internationally by this listing.
Wilyakali Country:
Wilyakali lies in the east of the state of South Australia, crossing into New South Wales, including the town of Broken Hill. The Wilyakali people traditionally visited the Paakantji people on the Menindee Lakes in the Darling Riverine Plains Bioregion each year.
The three Major language groups for the Broken Hill Region are the Paakantji, Mayyankapa, and Nyiimpaa.
Wilyakali and Danggali both lie east of the Ngadjuri language and north of the upper River Murray languages.
Wilyakali and Danggali are part of the Darling River Language Group or Paakantyi / Paakantji language group. This is a group of closely related languages in South Australia and New South Wales, which can be subdivided into two groups: the “Northern Dialects” and the “Southern Dialects.” Wilyakali and Danggali are both part of the “Southern Dialects.”
Other “Southern Dialects” include Pulaali, Southern Pankantyi, Pantyikali, Wanyuparlku and Marrawarra. Some of these languages have been recorded more than others. Although each language has its own distinguishing features, they are so similar they can be understood by speakers of other languages in this group. Therefore, the following reference list will include Southern Paakantyi references that may be helpful. The language name is noted in square brackets after each reference, when known.
Today the Wilyakali people are still the main Aboriginal group in Broken Hill, though there are a number of Aboriginal people that come from other language groups.
The Aboriginal people of Broken Hill have established working parties to pursue their vision of a better future. They continue to look after their traditional lands and are joint managers of the Mutawintji National Park which is the first national park handed back to the traditional owners in New South Wales. There are many strong elders who continue to maintain and pass on their traditional knowledge to their young people and, today, share their stories with the wider community.

Paraphrased from wikipedia:
The Burrunan dolphin (Tursiops australis) is a species of bottlenose dolphin found in parts of Victoria, Australia. It was recognised as a species only in 2011. By size, the Burrunan dolphin is between the other two species of bottlenose dolphin There are only two resident populations of the Burrunan dolphin; one in Port Phillip and these ones from the Gippsland Lakes. Their combined population has been estimated as about 150 dolphins (100 in Port Phillip and 50 in Gippsland).
The dolphin's common name, Burrunan, is an Aboriginal name in the Boonwurrung, Woiwurrung and Taungurung languages, meaning "large sea fish of the porpoise kind".
One of many accidental photos taken with my phone. They usually feature my feet, or the underside of my chin. Sometimes they are even videos. This one was tilted at about 30 deg, so I straightened it and the ladies ended up nicely framed and juxtaposed with the mysterious-looking marks on the sea wall.
If you are in this picture and would rather not be, just tell me.

OTIS: "Look what book I found on the shelf! ..."English in 24 hours" !!! Isn't it amazing!"
ODESSA: "Oh those people! So naive!"
PAT: "Silence, please! I'm learning Portuguese!....wzzzzzzzzz..."
When the first wave of European immigrants first settled in Sheboygan, many of them had various forms of Germanic origins. The first weekend in August has traditionally been Bratwurst Days locally. While the city has become much more culturally diverse (more than 25 languages spoken in homes) the tradition remains. Ah, the noble bratwurst!
I happened to bike past Blue harbor resort and saw a TV station crew filming a news segment about this year's Brat Days, so I had to stop to take a photo or two.
Inside the huge 57 metre convex concrete column that symbolises the growth of the Afrikaans language and which dominates the Afrikaans Language Monument near Paarl.
The Afrikaans Language Monument (Afrikaans: Afrikaanse Taalmonument) is located on a hill overlooking Paarl, Western Cape Province, South Africa. Officially opened on 10 October 1975, it commemorates the semicentenary of Afrikaans being declared an official language of South Africa separate from Dutch. Also, it was erected on the 100th anniversary of the founding of Genootskap van Regte Afrikaners (the Society of Real Afrikaners) in Paarl, the organisation that helped strengthen Afrikaners' identity and pride in their language.
The monument, surprisingly post-modern for the product of an authoritarian right-wing state, consists of various tapering structures of a convex and concave nature, symbolising the influences of different languages and cultures on Afrikaans itself, as well as political developments in South Africa, as follows:
* three columns symbolise the European heritage of the language. The columns are from high to low to illustrate Europe’s diminishing influence on Afrikaans.
* three convex mounds on a podium symbolise the African influences on the language
* a wall on the stairway symbolises the influence of the Malay language and culture, placed between the curves of Western Europe and Africa as a separate entity. Yet it forms a unity with the two forces of Western Europe and Africa that merge to form the bridge that symbolically depicts the roots of Afrikaans.
* the highest column (about 57m high) symbolises the growth of Afrikaans and is open at the top. The other writer that inspired the architect, CJ Langenhoven, wrote that Afrikaans grows like a “fast-rising arch”; the second very high column represents South Africa and the declaration of the Republic of South Africa in 1960.
There is also an open stadium at the bottom of the structure where concerts and events are held.

Riomaggiore (Rimazùu in the local Ligurian language) is a village and comune in the province of La Spezia, situated in a small valley in the Liguria region of Italy. It is the first of the Cinque Terre one meets when travelling north from La Spezia.
The village, dating from the early thirteenth century, is known for its historic character and its wine, produced by the town's vineyards. Riomaggiore is in the Riviera di Levante region and has shoreline on the Mediterranean's Gulf of Genoa, with a small beach and a wharf framed by tower houses. Riomaggiore's main street is Via Colombo, where numerous restaurants, bars and shops can be found.
The Via dell'Amore is a path connecting Riomaggiore to its frazione Manarola, also part of the Cinque Terre.
Riomaggiore is the most southern village of the five Cinque Terre, all connected by trail. The water and mountainside have been declared national parks.
Riomaggiore inspired paintings by Telemaco Signorini (1835-1901), one of the artists of the Macchiaioli group.

The capital of Suriname is Paramaribo, a City with a rich history of colonial times. The country suffered a lot of influence from the English and later the Dutch. The official language is still Dutch and here we drive on the left side of the street. Sranantongo is a dialect widely spoken too besides English.
There were a lot of houses all built with noble wood since the country is part of the Amazon world and has plenty of flora and fauna to live with. I am here choosing to picture some old houses that are either for sale or abandoned or have been recuperated and people are living inside of them. It is a worthwhile journey to get to know some of these typical wooden houses of Paramaribo. I find them very charming.
De hoofdstad van Suriname is Paramaribo, een stad met een rijke koloniale geschiedenis. Het land had veel invloed van de Engelsen en later de Nederlanders. De voertaal is nog steeds Nederlands en hier rijden we aan de linkerkant van de straat. Sranantongo is een dialect dat naast Engels ook veel wordt gesproken.
Er waren veel van de huizen allemaal gebouwd met nobel hout, aangezien het land deel uitmaakt van de Amazone-wereld en veel flora en fauna heeft om mee te leven. Ik kies er hier voor om me een paar oude huizen voor te stellen die ofwel te koop staan, ofwel verlaten zijn of gerecupereerd zijn en er mensen in wonen. Het is de moeite waard om enkele van deze typische houten huizen van Paramaribo te leren kennen. Ik vind ze erg charmant.
A capital do Suriname é Paramaribo, uma cidade com uma rica história da época colonial. O país sofreu muita influência dos ingleses e depois dos holandeses. A língua oficial ainda é o holandês e aqui conduzimos do lado esquerdo da rua. Sranantongo é um dialeto amplamente falado além do inglês.
Muitas das casas eram construídas com madeiras nobres já que o país faz parte do mundo amazônico e tem muita flora e fauna para conviver. Estou aqui fotograaf do algumas casas antigas que estão à venda, ou abandonadas ou foram recuperadas e que há pessoas morando dentro delas. Vale a pena conhecer algumas dessas típicas casas de madeira de Paramaribo. Eu as acho muito charmosas.

Había muchas casas todas construidas con madera noble ya que el país es parte del mundo amazónico y tiene mucha flora y fauna para user. Estoy aquí eligiendo Fotografo are algunas casas antiguas que están a la venta, o abandonadas o han sido recuperadas y la gente está viviendo dentro de ellas. Vale la pena el viaje para conocer algunas de estas típicas casas de madera de Paramaribo. Los encuentro muy encantadoras y charming.
La capitale du Suriname est Paramaribo, une ville avec une riche histoire de l'époque coloniale. Le pays a beaucoup souffert de l'influence des Anglais et plus tard des Néerlandais. La langue officielle est toujours le néerlandais et ici nous roulons sur le côté gauche de la rue. Le sranantongo est un dialecte largement parlé en plus de l'anglais.
Il y avait beaucoup de maisons toutes construites avec du bois noble car le pays fait partie du monde amazonien et regorge de faune et de flore. Je choisis ici d'imaginer quelques vieilles maisons qui sont soit à vendre, soit abandonnées ou qui ont été récupérées et des gens y vivent. Cela vaut la peine de découvrir certaines de ces maisons en bois typiques de Paramaribo. Je les trouve très charmants.
La capitale del Suriname è Paramaribo, una città con una ricca storia dei tempi coloniali. Il paese ha subito molta influenza da parte degli inglesi e successivamente degli olandesi. La lingua ufficiale è ancora l'olandese e qui guidiamo sul lato sinistro della strada. Lo sranantongo è un dialetto anche molto parlato oltre all'inglese.
C'erano molte case tutte costruite con legno nobile poiché il paese fa parte del mondo amazzonico e ha molta flora e fauna con cui convivere. Sto qui scegliendo di immaginare alcune vecchie case che sono in vendita, o abbandonate o sono state recuperate e le persone ci vivono. Vale la pena fare un viaggio per conoscere alcune di queste tipiche case in legno di Paramaribo. Li trovo molto affascinanti.
Die Hauptstadt von Suriname ist Paramaribo, eine Stadt mit einer reichen Geschichte der Kolonialzeit. Das Land litt unter großem Einfluss der Engländer und später der Niederländer. Die offizielle Sprache ist immer noch Niederländisch und hier fahren wir auf der linken Straßenseite. Sranantongo ist neben Englisch ein weit verbreiteter Dialekt.
Es gab viele Häuser, die alle aus edlem Holz gebaut wurden, da das Land Teil der amazonischen Welt ist und viel Flora und Fauna zum Leben hat. Ich bin hier, um mir einige alte Häuser vorzustellen, die entweder zum Verkauf stehen oder verlassen sind oder wiederhergestellt wurden und in denen Menschen leben. Es ist eine Reise wert, einige dieser typischen Holzhäuser von Paramaribo kennenzulernen. Ich finde sie sehr charmant.
عاصمة سورينام هي باراماريبو ، وهي مدينة ذات تاريخ غني من العصور الاستعمارية. عانت البلاد من نفوذ الإنجليز ثم الهولنديين لاحقًا. اللغة الرسمية لا تزال هولندية وهنا نقود السيارة في الجانب الأيسر من الشارع. Sranantongo هي لهجة منتشرة على نطاق واسع إلى جانب اللغة الإنجليزية.
كان هناك الكثير من المنازل التي بنيت جميعها بالخشب النبيل لأن البلاد جزء من عالم الأمازون ولديها الكثير من النباتات والحيوانات لتعيش معها. أنا هنا أختار أن أتخيل بعض المنازل القديمة التي هي إما معروضة للبيع أو مهجورة أو تم إصلاحها ويعيش الناس بداخلها. إنها رحلة تستحق التعرف على بعض هذه المنازل الخشبية النموذجية في باراماريبو. أجدهم ساحرين للغاية.

much about the places i traveled in west africa was unfamiliar to me...the dress, the language, the food, the religions, the customs. but one of the things i love about travel is no matter how far away, we are able to see common threads in people across the world.
the two similarities most striking to me were the way children play, and the way mothers respond when their babies are crying.
this little boy, while chasing after siblings, had fallen and landed face first in a pile of sand and gravel. his mom kissed him so much that the majority of the sand wound up on her own face. no idea the words she was saying to him, but the sentiments communicated beautifully.

If you have seen the first episode of the Welsh language series 'Y Gwyll' on S4C (or the BBC version titled 'Hinterland' in English) you would most probably recognise this bridge.
The bridge is the Devil's Bridge which in the Welsh language is Pontarfynach which, however, directly translates as Monks Bridge. The story as told on devilsbridgefalls.co.uk:
'… around the IIth Century, the Devil visited Wales as he had never been there before and he had heard that the scenery was breathtaking. He soon came across an old lady who seemed upset. “What’s the matter?” he asked out of curiosity.
“Oh, I’m in such a terrible muddle and I don’t know what to do!. My cow has wandered across the river and I can’t get her back”.
‘Ah!” said the Devil ‘What you need my dear, is a bridge, and I am just the man to build you one. Why don’t you go home, and in the morning there will be a bridge waiting for you. All I ask in return is to keep the first living thing to cross the bridge!”
“Okay then” she said “It’s a bargain. I’ll see you in the morning. Nos da, Goodnight”
That night she wondered about this stranger who would build her a bridge. ‘What a strange request! Why should I cross the bridge to get my cow back if he gets to keep me in exchange? Mind you it is very tempting offer”
The next day she got up and called for her faithful dog. Together they went down to the river. “Well well” she couldn’t believe her eyes. In front of her was the best bridge that she had ever seen! I told you that I would build you a bridge” said the Devil appearing from nowhere.
“Now it’s your turn to keep your side of the bargain”.
I know, you get to keep the first living thing to cross the bridge” and she started to walk towards the bridge. But just when she got to the entrance, she stopped, took out a loaf of bread from her apron pocket and hurled it across the bridge. As quick as a flash and before the Devil could stop it, the dog chased after it. ‘Aaaaaaagh!!!!!” screeched the Devil. “You stupid old woman, I don’t believe it! Your smelly, hairy farm dog has become the first living thing to cross my bridge. It’s no good to me” he screamed and then he vanished.
Well, the Devil was never seen in Wales again as he was so embarrassed at being outwitted by the old lady. High in the mountains near Aberystwyth, there is a village where a very old bridge crosses a deep gorge. Above it are two other bridges built at later dates. But the lowest one….Well, they say that the Devil himself built it!
She decided to free herself, create a new language and birds fluttered around her writing yes in the sky
