The sacred and the secular are, therefore, not two things placed side by side; they are one thing seen under two aspects. Something is sacred, precisely in its relationship to God. Since everything is related to God, everything is radically sacred. The secular, the profane, is that which is seen by man apart from, even in opposition to, the divine. Since everything can be seen apart from the divine, even though in its own radical being it is related to the divine, everything can be secularized or profaned, except the divine by definition. Thus, if the sacred and secular appear as opposed spheres in man’s life, this opposition says more about the moral conditions of man than it says about the structure of reality.

Moose of the Canadian Rockies
Moose (Alces alces) are the largest members of the deer family, and their size is precisely why they are one of nature’s most resilient cold-climate species. Their adaptive mechanism to conserve body heat is best described by a zoological principle known as, ‘Bergmann’s Rule.’ The rule applies to the ratio of body surface to weight in warm-blooded animals. Moose have a relatively small surface area compared to their volume. Regardless of external temperatures, Moose maintain a relatively constant internal temperature—meaning they require only minor metabolic and environmental adjustments to live comfortably in North America’s lowest-temperature regions. Moose range from the Arctic coasts of North America, Europe, and Asia, down to the southern limits of the boreal forest. In North America, they reach their southern extent in New York State to the east and Utah to the west.
The Moose is a browser, or ‘eater of twigs’ as the Algonquian Native name translates. In a single day, an adult can consume about 44 pounds of vegetation. They graze on aquatic plants such as water lilies and duckweed and make use of their impressive stature to tear off twigs high in the willow trees. Summer waterways are important feeding areas and also provide escape routes from wolves, bears, and mesopredators like the red fox and coyote.

Mainau, Konstanz, Baden-Württemberg, Deutschland.
Mainau es una isla de Alemania, localizada en el Lago de Constanza y más precisamente en la parte noroccidental conocida como lago de Überlingen (Überlinger See). La isla está conectada por el sur con la tierra firme mediante un puente.
Mainau se encuentra comprendida en el territorio comunal de la ciudad de Constanza y de hecho la mejor forma de llegar a la misma es por medio del transporte urbano de esta ciudad, que tiene una línea de autobús con parada en el acceso a la isla. Ésta es un importante destino turístico gracias a su suave clima, merced al cual alberga una vegetación muy rica en especies, incluso subtropicales y tropicales.
La entrada a la isla se hace previo pago, pero su cuidada vegetación, los millones de flores que la decoran (como es evidente, fundamentalmente en los meses de primavera y verano), sus invernaderos de palmas y de mariposas - en el cual estas sobrevuelan libremente a los visitantes y son de gran variedad y grandes tamaños -, su espacio con variados tipos de columpios complejos, y su pequeña zona con diferentes animales, junto a otros detalles, son de un interés objetivo.
De acuerdo con todo lo anterior, el lugar también es denominado La isla de las flores.
Mainau is an island in Germany, located on Lake Constance and more precisely in the northwestern part known as Lake Überlingen (Überlinger See). The island is connected by the south with the mainland by means of a bridge.
Mainau is included in the communal territory of the city of Constanza and in fact the best way to get there is through the urban transport of this city, which has a bus line with stop at the access to the island. This is an important tourist destination thanks to its mild climate, thanks to which it shelters a vegetation very rich in species, even subtropical and tropical.
The entrance to the island is made after payment, but its careful vegetation, the millions of flowers that decorate it (as is evident, mainly in the months of spring and summer), its greenhouses of palms and butterflies - in which they fly over freely to visitors and they are of great variety and size - their space with varied types of complex swings, and their small area with different animals, together with other details, are of an objective interest.
In agreement with all the previous thing, the place also is denominated the island of the flowers.

Lo zafferano è una piccola, ma “ricca” piantina, dalla quale si ricava la preziosissima spezia, precisamente dallo stimma, la quale ha diverse applicazioni in ambito gastronomico. In arabo zafferano significa giallo, che è poi il colore che tinge i piatti e le pietanze, che come l’oro impreziosiscono le nostre tavole.
La sua origine è molto lontana, infatti il crocus cativus, questo il suo nome botanico, è soprattutto coltivato in Asia e in Africa settentrionale, mentre nel nostro Paese tra le più importanti regioni produttrici c' è la Sardegna
Saffron is a flower, which produces the precious spice, precisely by the stigma, which has many applications in gastronomy. In Arabic means saffron yellow, which is the color tinting plates and dishes, which like gold embellish our tables.
Its origin is very far, in fact, the crocus cativus, this is its botanical name, is mainly cultivated in Asia and North Africa, while in our country the most important producing regions c 'is Sardinia
The Aqueduct of Segovia (or more precisely, the aqueduct bridge) is a Roman aqueduct and one of the most significant and best-preserved ancient monuments left on the Iberian Peninsula. It is located in Spain and is the foremost symbol of Segovia, as evidenced by its presence on the city's coat of arms.

More precisely, my reflection. The Tegernsee region is one of the most wealthy in Germany. Many rich people, including some known crooks (tax-evaders, arms smugglers etc.) have settled here. So, who knows, maybe one of them has since bought this 4000 dollar coat...
A crystallized forest. The absence of water and the high temperatures have burned all the vegetation, leaving only the black skeletons of hundreds of trees that remain standing - and do not decompose - precisely because the land on which they rest is too dry.
We are in Dead Vlei, in the dead swamp of Namibia, among the imposing red dunes of the Namib Naukluft Park, in the heart of the Namib desert. A very strange landscape, mecca of nature photographers from all over the world for the inimitable contrast of colors.
Once Dead Vlei was crossed by the Tsauchab River, which fed the desert landscape and fed the trees. But over 900 years ago, following the movements of the dunes caused by the wind, the river irreparably deviated its course, leaving the swamp completely arid. As evidence of that flourishing oasis in the desert, only the trees burned by the sun remain, as if to testify to the death of the place.
Not far from this immense expanse, surrounded by dunes that reach 400 meters in height, is also Sossusvlei, another "place of no return", whose name refers to an ephemeral pool of water, where water c 'it is only for short periods and the ground is clear, almost white, so much so that it still looks like a lake that is well distinguished from the red dunes. Even on this land broken by aridity, a landscape has been created that seems to belong to another planet, where the contrasts of a wild and amazing nature reign.
The palaestra at Olympia is an ancient edifice in Olympia, Greece, part of the gymnasium at the sanctuary. It is a sixty-six metre by sixty-six metre, or 4345 metre square building that dates to the end of the 3rd or beginning of the 2nd century BC.
It is thought to be a building in ancient Greece that was devoted to the training of wrestlers and other athletes.
The palaestra is oriented precisely to the cardinal points and is very symmetrical in plan. Like all palaestra, the palaestra at Olympia is centered on a large courtyard covered with sand for use as a boxing or wrestling surface. Along all four sides of the palaestra are rooms that opened onto the porticoes.
Olympia, is a small town in Elis on the Peloponnese peninsula in Greece, famous for the nearby archaeological site of the same name, which was a major Panhellenic religious sanctuary of ancient Greece, where the ancient Olympic Games were held. The site was primarily dedicated to Zeus and drew visitors from all over the Greek world as one of a group of such "Panhellenic" centres which helped to build the identity of the ancient Greeks as a nation. Despite the name, it is nowhere near Mount Olympus in northern Greece, where the Twelve Olympians, the major deities of Ancient Greek religion, were believed to live.
The Olympic Games were held every four years throughout Classical antiquity, from the 8th century BC to the 4th century AD.
The archaeological site held over 70 significant buildings, and ruins of many of these survive, although the main Temple of Zeus survives only as stones on the ground. The site is a major tourist attraction, and has two museums, one devoted to the ancient and modern games.

La palaestra de Olimpia es un edificio antiguo en Olimpia, Grecia, parte del gimnasio del santuario. Es un edificio de sesenta y seis metros por sesenta y seis metros cuadrados, o 4345 metros cuadrados, que data de finales del siglo III o principios del siglo II a.
Se cree que es un edificio de la antigua Grecia que se dedicaba al entrenamiento de luchadores y otros atletas.
La palestra está orientada con precisión a los puntos cardinales y tiene una planta muy simétrica. Como toda palestra, la palestra de Olimpia se centra en un gran patio cubierto de arena para su uso como superficie de boxeo o lucha libre. A lo largo de los cuatro lados de la palestra hay habitaciones que se abrían a los pórticos.
Olympia, es una pequeña ciudad en Elis en la península del Peloponeso en Grecia, famosa por el cercano sitio arqueológico del mismo nombre, que fue un importante santuario religioso panhelénico de la antigua Grecia, donde se celebraron los antiguos Juegos Olímpicos. El sitio estaba dedicado principalmente a Zeus y atrajo a visitantes de todo el mundo griego como parte de un grupo de centros "panhelénicos" que ayudaron a construir la identidad de los antiguos griegos como nación. A pesar del nombre, no está cerca del Monte Olimpo en el norte de Grecia, donde se creía que vivían los Doce Olímpicos, las principales deidades de la religión griega antigua.
Los Juegos Olímpicos se celebraron cada cuatro años a lo largo de la antigüedad clásica, desde el siglo VIII a.C. hasta el siglo IV d.C.
El sitio arqueológico contenía más de 70 edificios significativos, y las ruinas de muchos de ellos sobreviven, aunque el Templo principal de Zeus sobrevive solo como piedras en el suelo. El sitio es una importante atracción turística y tiene dos museos, uno dedicado a los juegos antiguos y modernos.

You do not need to know precisely what is happening, or exactly where it is all going. What you need is to recognize the possibilities and challenges offered by the present moment, and to embrace them with courage, faith and hope.

At precisely 5:25 PM, as the sun dips below the horizon of the Barind Tract, a rare atmospheric phenomenon occurs: the "Neon Veil." This frame documents the final moments of the workday under a heavy, low-hanging mist that defies the typical warm tones of a Bengali sunset. Instead, the diffused light creates a high-contrast, emerald-green glow across the paddy fields, turning the agricultural landscape into a surreal, cinematic stage.
Journalistically, the image serves as a study of post-harvest rhythm. The figures in the frame—women navigating the narrow ail (field ridges) with heavy loads balanced perfectly—represent the economic backbone of Northern Bangladesh. The mist provides a natural isolation, stripping away modern distractions to focus on the ancient, repetitive grace of rural labor. This is a document of Godhuli-logno (the twilight hour), where the land and the sky merge into a single, vibrant green entity.

This image was captured 1 hour before sunset down within the beautiful woodlands around the Muckross Road near Killarney National Park which is located down the south of Ireland in County Kerry.
Many photographers avoid shooting directly into the sun and turn away from it for fear of blowing and burning out the highlights within the sky area as well as capturing lens flares, but of which are valid concerns!.
However often the best lighting and most dynamic results can be achieved when shooting directly into the sun. There are of course some shooting obstacles to overcome, such as controlling the highlights but once you have a solid understanding of exposure and are able to precisely control your camera via the equally dreaded "Manual Mode", you too can produce stunning images like this.
To add an extra sparkle to this image, I opted to compose/frame the image in a very specific way so that the sun was peeking through between two small trees in the center of the scene and I used a small aperture in order to capture the sun and produce a cool starburst effect.
Another intended result from shooting directly into the sun was the capturing of this really nice optical lens flare. I see many people opting to add these lens flares into their images in post-production but I just don't really see the point in wasting the time doing it in post-production when you can very easily capture the lens flare while shooting. The real thing simply looks much better and are easily captured with a bit of decent field-craft technique.
Also known as a Spined Micrathena, these spiders are often found in Oak or Hickory forests near water which is precisely where I ran into this beauty.
"To take a photograph is to participate in another person's mortality, vulnerability, mutability. Precisely by slicing out this moment and freezing it, all photographs testify to time's relentless melt.”
This incredible spur of rock is located in the municipality of Elva and more precisely on Colle San Giovanni, a few dozen metres from the chapel of the same name, Suspended in the void, it affords a breathtaking view of the mountains: Bettone, Chersogno, Marchisa, Pelvo and Monviso. If you lower your gaze, you will have the entire Vallone di Elva at your feet.
Actually, it is not this single rock that is called Fremo Cuncunà, but the group of rocks that form a very unusual figure: that of a ‘crouching woman‘, which in Occitan is called Fremo Cuncunà. If you want to see this figure in full, the best view is from the Vallone di Elva road!
However, due to the risk of falling rocks, the road has been closed to traffic for several years, and since then the condition of the road surface has deteriorated significantly.
Ever wonder where you were or what you were doing a year ago? Well, I was doing precisely that earlier today, so tonight I looked into it in my image library. The closest that I could come was 51 weeks ago when I took this image.
We were in Salt Lake City, with my family, for some snowboarding and winter fun. Two of the days I also talked everyone into visiting Antelope Island State Park, not far from SLC. Both days were similar - typical cold and dreary winter days, complete with howling wind. As we explored the island we came across bison, mule deer, porcupine, predator birds, and numerous coyote.
I distinctly remember a pair of coyotes that were always somewhat close to one another. Actually one would lead, while the other would follow, but a good distance behind. Across the ice, lost in an isolated landscape of white, it would lie down on the cold ice and observe the other coyote's whereabouts. I wasn't sure, but I suspected that they it may have been in pursuit of a mate.
What really struck me was how isolated it looked all curled up on the snow and what a struggle they go through to simply survive the harsh winter conditions. Yet, it was so beautiful and seemingly peaceful. Though it has been a bit cooler the last week in South Florida, I can't wait to get back out in the real winter. :-)
Thanks for stopping by to view and especially for your thoughts and comments.

100x Snapshots of a 1600 Mile Journey #42
Just love buildings when they cooperate so nicely to cast their reflections so precisely.
Any season and any kind of weather is good for the Gaasperpark and its Lake on the southeastern outskirts of Amsterdam
www.flickr.com/photos/87453322@N00/26641602550/in/photoli.... It was particularly inviting Pleasant Sunny Today!
In 1982 the site of the Floriade, the park still has remnants of that great horticultural showing. Here and there some flower beds which the municipality maintains as well as it can given financial strictures. These pretty Dahlias are in such a bed.
Throughout the park there are also some remaining works of art. Here's one (see inset) I've found particularly attractive: a jazz combo hewn in sandstone. It's right next to the Dahlia Display. Regrettably it's not labeled; I've tried many times in many different ways to discover its provenance but to no avail...
Perhaps someone on flickr will be able to identify it precisely. Do let me know!
PS 2017.8.9 Today I further examined this sculpture. Lo and behold! My previous examinations had overlooked a relatively hard to see inscription. The sculptor is Ingeborg Hobbelman (1939-), and the sculpture is called: 'Musici Amsterdam'. It is made of basalt lava.
I must have came after a class or some researcher finish with their analysis, otherwise, this magnolia wouldn't have been cut so precisely showing off its anatomy. At the BBG of New York.
This duck took off straight up. Ducks are categorized as dabblers or divers, although many diving ducks also dabble. Blue-wings are dabblers. They have larger wings than divers, which enables a vertical takeoff. Dabblers fly more slowly than divers, and this, plus their large wings, allows them to precisely land in a small area.
"The present, however, is not a concept of time, except precisely as something infinitely contentless, which again is the infinite vanishing. If this is not kept in mind, no matter how quickly it may disappear, the present is posited, and being posited it again appears in the categories: the past and the future.
The present is the eternal, or rather, the eternal is the present, and the present is full." - Søren Kierkegaard
I'm sooooo in love with how textures give off a painting vibe, so I may over texturized my photos this coming few days!
Hey guys!
This month I'll start a preparatory course - precisely to pass in the federal college - I hope to be approved in 2014! Having so many days of vacation is being boring, because I don't spend all months at the beach, and it's too hot here to go out, so... I'm still unmotivated to go out and take photos, I think it will change only when I buy my new camera - I hope it happens soon - until there I promise I'll still take photos with my camera, because I like to be here and talk with you! :D
This one was taken at a lovvvely place which I know since I was a baby. I edited with film presets for lightroom! More 3 in comments!
Have a great week! See ya!
Ngliyep beach on the edge of the ocean Indonesia, precisely in the village Kedungsalam Donomulyo district, 62 km from the southern city of Malang.
Ngliyep beach is a beach with natural beauty that is still natural with a mix of steep cliffs and protected areas around the coast. Unspoiled white sand and the waves seemed to play on the sidelines of the cliff makes the beach Ngliyep worth visiting.
The condition is relatively deserted beaches make this beach still virgin and comfortable to play was interrupted by waves and white sand.
Every year, in the month of Java, precisely in Maulud, Ngliyep coast will be more crowded than usual because the event was held Labuhan ritual ceremony called in the title on 15 Maulud. Labuhan ceremony is a form of sacrifice, where the head of farm animals such as goats or cows will be sacrificed as offerings into the sea.

Let's go back in time ! Initially, I opened this Flickr account to share some pictures I took during a trip around the world between 2013 and 2014. The thing is : I was took by the photographic virus in the meanwhile, so it became a general Flickr account before I finished to sort the picture of this Journey.
So now I'll post some pictures I took in Thailand and Cambodia. I have to admit that I don't remember precisely where this one was taken. All I know is that we walked along the river from the Temple of Dawn. There was a lot of crazy sunset in Thailand at this time. Unfortunately I was not aware (as I am now) of their photographic importance ...
Precisely an hour behind Amtrak No. 5, the westbound Rocky Mountaineer is making its first seasonal run to Moab, Utah. This year, as in the past, the train will make two weekly trips departing Denver on Sundays and Wednesdays, stopping at Glenwood Springs for the night. At 11:20 a.m., April 9, the luxury train is at mile 49 at East Portal, Colorado.
The Blackburnian Warbler (Setophaga fusca) is a stunningly-colored creature and the only warbler to don an orange throat. This time of the year, though, fall molt is well under way or over for most of these birds, and they've taken on their drab winter apparel. Interestingly, the name of this beautiful bird--often called the most handsome of North America's wood warblers--is shrouded in some mystery. While it is widely agreed that it is named for English botanist Anna Blackburne, discord exists when attempting to define who, precisely, did the naming!

The Monostor Fortress - the largest modern fortress in Central Europe - was built between 1850 and 1871. A UNESCO World Heritage Site, the neoclassical military monument is a fascinating sight with its huge walls of precisely hewn stone, the 3-4 metre thick earthen ramparts covering the defences and its network of underground passages (kazamata) several kilometres long.
Its monumental dimensions are evidenced by the following figures: The fortress covers 25 hectares, the total area including the firing ranges is 70 hectares, the floor area of the buildings is 25 680 m2 and the number of rooms is 640.
After the fortress was built, it served generations of soldiers of the Hungarian Defence Forces. Its tasks included the defence of the central fortress (North - Komárom) and the control of shipping on the Danube. It was never used in combat and served mainly as a training centre and weapons depot. During the First World War it was used as a conscription and training centre. During the Second World War, the 22nd Infantry Regiment had its headquarters at Fort Monostor, and the soldiers of the 1st and 2nd Infantry Regiments were stationed there. After the Second World War.
Between 1945 and 1990, the Red Army's Army Group South set up the largest ammunition depot in Central Europe in the fort. With their withdrawal, the military function of the fortress ended forever.
Today the fort is a popular destination with a military history exhibition, Cold War vehicles, a bread museum, a boat exhibition and numerous events.
