...al gran pueblo argentino, salud!
hoy hace 206 años nacia la Argentina, como una utopía de tierra de paz, y prosperidad, y aunque el objetivo aun no se logro del todo, la idea todavia permanece, como el cerro Fitz Roy en la patagonia
today, 206 year ago, the Argentina was born...as an Utopia of land of peace and prosperity, and although the dream still are not complete, it remains plenty! as the Mount Fitz Roy in Patagonia
A half-open bud of Rosa ‘Prosperity’ against the winter's blue sky. The petals present a crapy texture and a soft pink touch in this season. This bud will not fully open until it fades away.
Rosa ‘Prosperity’ (hybrid musk) bred by the Reverend Joseph Hardwick Pemberton (1919).
No Chinese New Year is complete without a raw fish salad toss (lohei)shouts of abundance of health, fortune and prosperity

The rest of the ship entering San Francisco Bay under the Golden Gate Bridge. And one of the Matson Line ships on its way out.
Peony stands out with special cultural message...Its fullness in bloom emits a sense of elegance, happiness, fortune and prosperity, the feelings of which are cherished in Oriental culture. This gorgeous specimen is in my Oriental bed in front of my porch so I can admire it from above with is many blooms. They have large, shapely, semi-double flowers with petals slightly curved, bright clear magenta with a tidy tuft of creamy-yellow stamens.
Eternal One: I am in control—calm and serene.
I am watching quietly from where I dwell
Just as surely as the heat shimmers in the blazing sun
and the dewy mists cool the warmth of a harvest day.
For even before the harvest begins, when the buds blossom
and the flowers make way for the ripening grapes,
God will cut back their shoots with pruning shears,
lop off and clear away the spreading branches. ~ Isaiah 18: 4-5
“It’s because I want you to remember that character counts. You can be the best there ever was at something, but if you have no character, what do you have? On the other hand, if you have very little as far as accomplishments but you have character, well, then you’re all right in my book.”
― Chris Fabry, Dogwood

In Victorian times, one of Port Hope's captains of industry was William Barrett, a Cornishman from Bathepoole, England, who arrived here with his wife and family in 1831.
Mr. Barrett, during the heyday of his prosperity, built Port Hope's famous Octagon house on Martha Street. The Octagon was featured in an earlier Cornerstones column, which briefly outlined the principles of Orson Squire Fowler, an American writer, phrenologist and amateur architect. Fowler published a book called The Octagon House - A Home for All in which he boldly declared, "The troubles of the American nation would be over if everyone would live in an octagon...living in an octagon house ... a family cannot help but be content and happy!"

This Tern chases all of the other Terns away from the tidal gate area at Bolsa Chica. He wants is all and he's quite successful!

Minor crop - best enlarged - it's easier to see the two fish he caught in his beak
This one of the techniques from the photoclass ...might look sloppy, but it's not easy to get right ;o) There is no photoshop features involved ..it's all made by the camera on normal settings and shaken not stirred ... lol
A partial view from the southwest of St Mary's Church in Hitchin, Hertfordshire (England). This is the largest parish church in Hertfordshire (the Cathedral in St Albans would be larger, of course) and reflects the prosperity the town of Hitchin enjoyed in the late medieval period. Though underneath you would find the foundation stones of a 7th century Saxon church for example, what you can see today dates back to the 14th and 15th centuries, apart from the tower which is 12th century. The thin, so-called Hertfordshire Spike is a more modern addition. Shot at F11.
For MACRO MONDAYS, this week’s theme: "Currency".
The Coin (1 inch in Diameter) in the front with Chinese Character 乾隆通寶 was a kind of cash coins produced under the reign of the Qianlong Emperor of the Qing dynasty (1735 to 1796).
The gold ingot behind the coin called Yuanbao 元寶, was also a currency used in the first dynasty of Imperial China from 221 to 206 BC.
At the present days, they remain a symbol of wealth and prosperity and are commonly depicted during the Chinese New Year festivities.
As today is Chines New Year's Eve, I wish my Flickr friends a healthy and prosperous year!
HMM!

"Prosperity", a traditional Yorkshire fishing coble, hauled up on the beach at North Landing, Flamborough Head, Yorkshire.
I searched on google since I thought it was a cricket and found this: "The cricket symbolism is about good luck, wealth, and prosperity in general and is a usual positive sign. It is indicated that you should never harm this little insect, though, for your good luck will perish as well. Cricket is a bearer of happiness and love in your life."
I wonder if my good luck is a bit stretched after this cricket got some paint on his toes......
I'm crossing my fingers and hope it's a grasshopper! 😅😆
Memory of a good companion lost last week, never did like his pic being taken, gone but not forgotten
This shopfront has a lovely old world look about it so I felt compelled to take the shot for prosperity especial with the old bike outside.

My huge honor and trill to have my picture chose.
Wish you and your loved ones a fabulous New Year filled with love, prosperity and health!
Hugs and love ♥

I had in mind to place 8 bills in a frame, which according to Feng Shui, 8 is money/prosperity number. It took me three years to find the perfect frame, and finally I found one at Thrift Store.
Animal symbolism on a Korean soapstone carving (lid of an inkwell). Close-up. I was interested to see how an object almost uniformly black would look when photographed. Lighting is everything here as the object can only be seen due to the difference of light-absorbing and -reflecting parts.

Valencia's commercial prosperity reached its peak during the 15th century, and led to the construction of a new building, the design of the new Lonja of Valencia was derived from a similar structure in the Lonja of Palma de Majorca, built by the architect Guillem Sagrera in 1448. The architect in charge of the new Lonja was Pere Compte, who built the main body of the building, the Trading Hall (or Sala de Contractació in Valencian) , in only fifteen years (1483–1498). So is written in a blue band that runs along all four walls of the Trading Hall, also called "Hall of Columns". It proclaims in golden letters the following inscription:
"Inclita domus sum annis aedificata quindecim. Gustate et videte concives quoniam bona est negotiatio, quae non agit dolum in lingua, quae jurat proximo et non deficit, quae pecuniam non dedit ad usuram eius. Mercator sic agens divitiis redundabit, et tandem vita fructur aeterna"
The UNESCO considered it as a World Heritage Site in 1996 since "the site is of outstanding universal value as it is a wholly exceptional example of a secular building in late Gothic style, which dramatically illustrates the power and wealth of one of the great Mediterranean mercantile cities"
València (Spain).
It is sometimes said that at the end of a rainbow lies a pot of gold. There can be little doubt that the power station at Wylfa created opportunity, wealth and some economic stability to the community of Anglesey. Its closure caused knock on impact to many other large employers in the region and damaged the smaller businesses that supported the workforce. It sits on the Wylfa headland and generally I try to exclude it from my landscape images. The beautiful coastline can normally do without this ugly man made intrusion but today the rainbow and shape of Llanbadrig headland all seemed to make a rather nice image.. so here it is.
it's a very historical chinese temple (1775- now)
