La llegada a Aveiro fue fantástica, no se explicar el porqué, pero tenía la sensación de que me iba a sorprender gratamente el lugar. Los primeros días fueron días muy nublado en los cuáles la ría nos mostró una belleza más apagada, algo lúgubre podría decir, pero el tercer día fue diferente, a pesar de levantarse muy nublado, corría un fuerte viento y poco a poco el cielo se fue abriendo mostrando todo el esplendor del lugar y haciéndome sentir una maravillosa sensación. La ría comenzó a teñirse de las diferentes tonalidades de azul, los reflejos del cielo comenzaban a verse por momentos más nítido, no se si esto lo veía yo de la emoción xD y el sol comenzó a salir por el horizonte, vamos que mejor no lo podría yo imaginar. El momento fue fantástico, sentía totalmente realizado como si no pudiera haber mejor lugar en el mundo en el que estar, salvo observando esta maravilla y ya de paso hacer alguna que otra fotillo. Un momento realmente irrepetible, inolvidable y lleno de unas sensaciones embriagadoras que llenaban por completo mi espíritu. Uno de esos momentos que según mi opinión son por los cuáles merece la pena estar aquí, INCREÍBLEE !!
Muchas gracias a tod@s, es un verdadero placer todos vuestros comentarios y apoyo !!

Gita di oggi cui non ho partecipato, sul monte Figne. La foto non è mia, ma la ho un po' modificata.
Questa immagine um po' inquietante mi sembra faccia da sfondo alle notizie che continuano ad arrivare dalla tv e giornali.
Continuano i cortei di protesta : si parla di rischio dittatura, soprattutto dittatura sanitaria, di diritto di manifestare delle minoranze (perché di minoranze si tratta).
Ma una minoranza che porta un danno alla maggioranza dei cittadini, che è spesso violenta, disobbedisce alle regole sanitarie e attacca i giornalisti, che accoglie tra le sue fila gruppi neofascisti ( che sarebbero proibiti dalla Costituzione) e sostiene teorie antiscientifiche, contro ogni evidenza... Combatte davvero un rischio dittatura o è un attacco alla democrazia e alla ragione?
Tutto questo mentre i contagi risalgono, anche se da noi in modo non ancora preoccupante, e nei Paesi Europei No-Vax, No-Pass, o dove non si è più messa in atto alcuna restrizione, le persone muoiono a migliaia...
Perché il Covid non è un'invenzione per sottomettere il mondo. Purtroppo esiste, e lo vediamo
Comunque rispetto le opinioni di tutti, anche di mie amiche, anche se non le approvo
A walk in the fog
The church being constructed in 1523 or 1453, the dates differing according to the different opinions of people, was in the valley of Mraconia in a very delighted and beautiful sight, at a very hidden place (Mraconia means a place being hidden). It is known that during the russian-austriac-turkish battle (1787-1792) it was destroyed. In 1823 there was found the ruins along with a slavic proverb being written upon: "Peceat Manastirea Lubostinie Hram Uspenia Presvistaia Bogaraditi Leto 1735."
In 1931 it started the reconstruction of the monastery, however, everything having been reconstructed was stopped in 1967 by the water of the Portile de Fier I. After this the monastery did not get the chance to be reconstructed again. It became the monastery under water, Mraconia. In the year of 1993 the new stone of the new church was put in there, too. From the old monastery however it is still kept the old gate and some other minor parts being exhibited in a museum, Eselnita Iin Romania on the Danube Gorges (DN57 Orșova-Moravița)
Probably one of the most photographed, most tourist packed and most overrated locations in Norway, in my opinion.
We were leaving Lofoten when I took this picture. It was a brilliant sunset and I hadn't yet been able to take that "classic" Lofoten picture. When I saw this view here I just stopped and took some pictures, because OF COURSE I need to have something. I think it turned out very well.
My thoughts about Lofoten, well, it's not ideal for travelers who want to sleep in tents. Do yourself a favor and go there with an RV or something like that. Be prepared to not find any parking places, especially in Henningsvær for example. Reine was also full of people and we only found a free parking spot after six in the evening. Other people were parking along the main road but I wasn't brave like them. I already got stuck once on this trip.
I have to say I prefer southern Norway with its majestic fjords and valleys to Lofoten, but Lofoten definitely has a unique look and so, so many bridges.

Tremezzo, in my opinion, although it is a small commune with little more than 1300 inhabitants, has a more urban aspect, perhaps by the greater circulation of cars in the edge along the lake.
Very frequented by tourists, it has wonderful hotels, but its main attraction is Vila Carlota, a beautiful palace transformed into a museum, with a grandiose garden, in fact a small Botanical Garden given to the incredible variety of flowers, including several from a climate tropical, like orchids, bromeliads, cacti, succulents. A lovely surprise indeed.
For now some pictures of Tremezzo only;)
Opinions about Favoriten, Vienna's 10th district, are divided: those who live there think it's great, those who don't turn up their noses. I have lived in the corner house in the middle for twelve years.
If you want to get an impression of this friendly, vibrant, and colourful district, but which also has its gloomy side, just have a look at the album I created about it!
When I did my last photo I remembered Venxia, a place I have not visited a long time.
Venexia is a dark role-play SIM and in my opinion one of the building highlights in second life.

even though simple and down-to-earth the influence of art nouveau ist still recognizable ...

Sul destino ci sono opinioni piuttosto discordanti: c'è chi vi crede fermamente, e dunque ecco che la vita diventa percorrere un sentiero già tracciato, più o meno debolmente. Dunque ecco sta a noi riconoscere quel sentiero e percorrerlo rettamente. Vi è poi chi rifiuta questa visione e dunque si ritiene artefice e demiurgo della propria stessa esistenza.
Chissà lei cosa pensava su questo argomento? Da quale parte stava e come aveva interpretato scelte, azioni e fatti?
Nessuno può davvero saperlo perché di lei restano solo pochi scatti, pochi sguardi, poche espressioni.
Fuggita via, o meglio, portata via troppo presto. Col rammarico di tutto quello che avrebbe potuto dirci e che invece non ha mai pronunciato. Col rammarico di non aver avuto un suo gesto, di non averle guardato le mani così tanto da non dimenticarle mai.
Non sapremo mai se era destino, oppure se furono scelte scellerate quelle che la portarono via, se non si fece abbastanza per salvarla.
Domande che non avranno mai risposta.
Con el fin de la Guerra Fría, la opinión pública comienza a ahondar en el destino de los prisioneros soviéticos, el tercer grupo de reclusos más numeroso del campo de concentración de Dachau. La iniciativa para la edificación de la capilla “Resurrección de Nuestro Señor” en su memoria provino de los jerarcas de la Iglesia ortodoxa en Alemania y Rusia, pero también de la Embajada de la Federación Rusa. La capilla es un diseño del arquitecto Valentin Utkin.
Es una construcción de madera de planta octagonal prefabricada en Moscú y edificada en Dachau por soldados de las fuerzas armadas rusas en 1994. La capilla, consagrada el 29 de abril de 1995 por Nikolai Kutépov, el metropolitano de Nizhni Nóvgorod y de Arzamás, se asienta sobre una colina que consta, en parte, de tierra que proveniente de varias repúblicas de la antigua Unión Soviética.
The opinions of scholars disagree as to the origin of Mission Espada’s irregularly arched doorway design. Is it Moorish? Why do some of the stones seem to be misaligned?
Mission Espada is one of four missions that comprise San Antonio Missions National Historical Park in Texas.

In my opinion, one of the most beautiful photo sites on the Swiss railway network is located on Lake Biel between Tüscherz and Ligerz. Here, the old route is still intact and the trains on the east-west axis run directly on the lake via the single track line.
In addition to the half-hourly local and long-distance services, numerous freight trains also run along Lake Biel. This is also the case on the evening of 26.05.2020 when a tank train pulled by 620 037 from Basel will soon reach its destination in Cornaux.

In my opinion it is a miracle that a plant can in this sandy conditions.
Le blanchon est le petit du phoque (loup-marin), également appelé « chiot » ou « veau ».
Le terme « blanchon » évoque l'épais pelage blanc qui sert au jeune phoque à se dissimuler sur la banquise ou les glaces marines les premiers mois de sa vie, où il demeure très vulnérable et dépendant. Le blanchon y est allaité pendant quelques semaines, jusqu'à ce qu'il se munisse d'un poil imperméable lui permettant de nager, coloré de différentes teintes de gris selon les espèces. Quand la mère chasse, le petit se retrouve régulièrement isolé sur la banquise, parfois pendant plusieurs heures. S'il sent une menace, il se fige dans l'espoir de passer inaperçu dans la neige - ce qui ne le protège en fait guère de l'excellent flair des ours polaires. S'il est attaqué par un prédateur ou un homme, la mère ne vient généralement pas le protéger, ce qui en fait une proie d'autant plus facile.
Par anthropomorphisme, on appelle les blanchons « bébés phoques », ces derniers jouissant d'un statut particulier dans l'opinion publique et les campagnes publicitaires animalistes.
A whitecoat is a newborn harp or grey seal with soft, white fur.
Newborn seals have yellow fur because of amniotic fluid, and are still wet. When the pup dries, it is called a yellowcoat. The amniotic stain fades and the fur turns white within a few days, and it gets the name whitecoat. First it's called a thin whitecoat, and when it becomes visibly fatter it is a fat whitecoat.[1]
Nursing lasts for about 12 days. Cows frequently return to their pups to suckle. While she is suckling, the mother does not eat—rather, she draws on her reserves of fatty blubber to produce the milk. Pups grow rapidly, at the end of nursing, most pups weigh 36 kg (80 lbs) or more. The mothers then leave their fully fed pups and join the bulls to mate. At this age of about 12 days, pups first become "greycoats",[2] as grey juvenile coloring grows under their white fur, then "ragged-jackets" when white fur begins to fall out in patches.
Hasedera (長谷寺) is another Buddhist temple near Koutoku'in (Big Buddha). The Japanese black pine (Pinus thunbergii) has grown to cover the gate of the temple. It is called "Mon-kaburi no Matsu (門被りの松)" in the Japanese gardening jargon meaning "gate-covering pine."
Both Hasedera and Koutoku'in advocate the Pure Land School of Buddhism (浄土教) and worship Amida Nyorai or Amitabha Tathagata. To put it simply, it is a faith to enter into Pure Land after death by chanting Buddhist invocation to worship Amitabha Tathagata. Pure Land is equivalent to heaven.
It is a major school of Mahayana Buddhism in China and Japan, but I don't think it is an authentic Buddhism.
Buddhism had developed based on the Indian religious traditions, one of which is the concept of reincarnation. In my opinion, the concept of Pure Land is a drastic departure from the original Buddhism possibly influenced by other religions.
The concept of Pure Land originated in Gandhara in northern Pakistan in the first century A.D. ruled by the Kushans from Central Asia under Iranian and Greek cultural influences.
It was elaborated and popularised in China most notably by Huiyuan (慧遠, 334-416) who lived on the mountainside of Lushan (廬山 flic.kr/p/2hCUmav). Without knowing the above-mentioned background, I happened to have visited Lushan and Donglin temple (東林寺 flic.kr/p/2hCwzYf) that was his base.
