In 1886, the writer Guy de Maupassant published his eyewitness account of Monet at Étretat. "The artist walked along the beach, followed by children carrying five or six canvases representing the same subject at different times of the day and with different effects. He took them up and put them aside by turns according to changes in the sky and shadows." Monet painted the dramatically arched projection in the cliff at Étretat six times from this angle: twice during each of three visits to the Normandy coast in 1883, 1885, and 1886. He refined the pictures in his studio.

* The last post from my trip to Seville at least for a while . It is another shot from the Plaza de España that we saw on our first afternoon. We were equally impressed by the architecture but also by the wonderful warm temperatures . Two months later and I am still waiting for a little warmth its been a cool wet Spring this year

 

The Plaza de España is is a beautiful collection of buildings in the Parque de María Luisa in Seville. It was built in 1928 for the Ibero-American Exposition of 1929. The Plaza was, designed by Aníbal González, was a principal building built on the Maria Luisa Park's edge to showcase Spain's industry and technology exhibits. González combined a mix of 1920s Art Deco and Spanish Renaissance Revival, Spanish Baroque Revival and Neo-Mudéjar styles. The Plaza de España complex is a huge half-circle; the buildings are accessible by four bridges over the moat, which represent the ancient kingdoms of Spain. In the centre is the Vicente Traver fountain.

La foto representa la portada principal vista desde dentro de la ciudad palatina o La Ciudad Brillante de Medina Azahara. En sueños vi venir por ese camino idealizado las personas o personajes del segundo milenio que eran recibidos con grandes fiestas y boato por el Califa. Como la belleza es efímera solo duró este esplendor una docena de años . La envidia la arruino y ha estado olvidada. Los cordobeses queremos que la Unesco vea en estas ruinas lo que pensamos y lo que significa aunque sea por poco tiempo la ciudad mas importante del mundo.

Fado is currently a world wide known symbol of Portugal, being represented for many years in foreign countries by Amália Rodrigues, and more recently by Dulce Pontes, Mariza and Katia Guerreiro, among others. Throughout the world, to the name of Portugal, there were two things immediately referred: the Fado and soccer. Although taking many forms, as it is sung differently in Porto, Coimbra and Lisbon, the Fado is, by self-earned right, the very expression of the Portuguese soul.

Amália Rodrigues known as the 'Rainha do Fado' ("Queen of Fado") was instrumental in popularising fado worldwide and travelled internationally throughout her career. Amália remains the best-selling Portuguese artist in history.

The Portuguese guitar or Portuguese guitarra (Portuguese: guitarra portuguesa) is a plucked string instrument with twelve steel strings, strung in six courses of two strings. It is one of the few musical instruments that still uses watch-key or Preston tuners. It is iconically associated with the musical genre known as Fado, and is now an icon for anything Portuguese.

 

The drinks in the back ground:

Beer lovers who come to Portugal are often disappointed by the range of Portuguese beers that are on offer. Essentially, there are just two: Super Bock and Sagres. Although they do taste different, enough that most people form a preference for one or the other, they’re both the same style of beer: a light-bodied pale lager.

 

Ginginha: If you are planning to visit Lisbon, Portugal, you will certainly run into a hole-in-the-wall shop selling shots of “ginginja, ” also known as ginginha or ginja, is a sour cherry liquor native to Portugal, particularly central Portugal around Lisbon and the town of Óbidos. Ginginja is 100% Portuguese and you will not find ginginja anywhere else!

 

Licor Beirão, is a Portuguese liqueur from the Beira region of Portugal. Originating in the 19th century, it’s a herbal liqueur flavoured with multiple botanicals, herbs and spices. It’s pretty popular in Portugal where it can be drank neat, in cocktails, in your coffee, and even in recipes for desserts and sweets. The exact recipe is still a family secret, but it’s known to include eucalyptus, cinnamon, rosemary, lavender, aniseed and mint.

Sansia Old Street” generally refers to the southern section of Minquan St., and is about 200 meters long. The buildings have stood since the earliest period of the Republic of China. Various words on the building fronts represent surnames, names, and shop names, and their signage is very different to today’s. The buildings are equipped with magnificent verandahs, which are the most impressive parts of the buildings along this street. Their decorated archways are rich in culture and they play a valuable role in reminding people of the need to preserve historical relics. The outer walls of the buildings are built with red brick, while the inner walls were made of clay. The outer parts of the buildings are decorated with a variety of patterns, and in particular the second-floor windowsills, making them all the more beautiful. There are many with traditional Chinese patterns, animal motifs, and even foreign patterns. Opposite Minquan St. is a smaller wall, known for its unique styling, featuring solid, hollow, and framed styles of decoration.

The picture represents the feelings and point of view of the intelligence behind the camera. This disease of our age is boredom and a good photographer must combat it. The way to do this is by invention – by surprise. When I say a good picture has surprise value I mean that it stimulates my thinking and intrigues me. The best way to achieve surprise quality is by avoiding clichés. Imitation is the greatest danger of the young photographer.

According to the current theme, group members were supposed to represent an adage in a photo. I chose "You've got to crack a few eggs to make an omelette", which means that if you want to achieve something, you often have to destroy something or make difficult sacrifices. I used an egg cup, a chocolate egg filled with colourful sweets and a teaspoon for the photo.

 

De acuerdo con el tema propuesto, los miembros del grupo teníamos que representar un dicho en una foto. Escogí aquel que dice que “no se puede hacer tortilla sin romper los huevos”, el cual significa que se tienen que destruir algo o hacer sacrificios difíciles para lograr algo. Para la foto, utilicé una huevera, un huevo de chocolate relleno con dulces coloridos y una cucharilla.

It was built because of the Ibero-american Exhibition of 1929, held in Seville. Its creator was Aníbal González. He mixed a style inspired by the Renaissance with typical elements from the city: exposed brick, ceramics and wrought iron (worked by Domingo Prida). Its floor plan is semicircular. It is dominated by 2 towers, one on each side of the enclosed area, which frame the central building where the main rooms are. Between the two towers runs a network of galleries with an arcade of semicircular arches leading to exits in different parts of the square, where a fountain stands.

The collection represents the private art collection of Carl Jacobsen (1842–1914), the son of the founder of the Carlsberg Breweries.

  

The Glyptotek is primarily a sculpture museum, as indicated by the name, the focal point of the museum is antique sculptures from the ancient cultures around the Mediterranean, including Egypt, Rome and Greece, as well as more modern sculptures such as a collection of Auguste Rodin's works, considered to be the most important outside.

 

However, the museum is equally noted for its collection of paintings that includes an extensive collection of French impressionists and Post-impressionists as well as Danish Golden Age paintings.

“The mermaid is an archetypal image that represents a woman who is at ease in the great waters of life, the waters of emotion and sexuality. She shows us how to embrace our instinctive sexuality and sensuality so that we can affirm the essence of our feminine nature, the wisdom of our bodies, and the playfulness of our spirits. She symbolizes our connection with our deepest instinctive feelings, our wild and untamed animal nature that exists below the surface of outward personalities. She is able to respond to her mysterious sexual impulses without abandoning her more human, conscious side.

L’œuvre représente un homme en attitude frontale. Ses bras musclés évoquent sa puissance.

Ses mains sont jointes dans un geste de prière. Son bonnet à large rebord indique qu’il s’agit d’un roi. Cette statue est l’une des nombreuses représentations du souverain, Guidéa, seigneur de Lagash, ancienne cité-Etat sumérienne. Il se fait ici représenter en orant, en attitude de prière éternelle devant les dieux de Lagash. Ce portrait idéalisé donne une image de souverain pieux. Une vingtaine de ces sculptures nous sont parvenues en grande partie conservées au musée du Louvre. Si cette statue est anépigraphe (sans inscription), d’autres portent une inscription portant son nom.

The Corvette represents America’s first true sports car. Until the early 1960s a sports car usually meant a foreign import. Now a cult car in its own right, the Corvette was introduced in 1953 as the first serried-built production car to have a fibreglass body.

Initial sales, however, were disappointing, so much so that manufacture was almost abandoned in 1955. Subsequent redesigns and upgrading saved the marque.

Las Alondras y todos los representantes de su familia los alaudidos, son cada día mas escasos,

Habitantes de espacios abiertos, sufren como otras tantas especies de aves, la explotación intensiva de muchos pastizales.

Campos de cultivo de cereales de crecimiento rápido que se siegan antes de que las aves puedan haber terminado su ciclo reproductor y rociados de herbicidas y pesticidas que envenenan a sus presas, la verdad es que no lo tienen fácil para sobrevivir.

Sin embargo, bastan que en esos cultivos intensivos, se dejen pequeñas parcelas de terrenos sin sembrar, donde crezcan las mal llamadas malas hierbas y no se echen tantos pesticidas y herbicidas a los cultivos, que al final también nosotros los terminamos ingiriendo y acumulando en nuestros tejidos, para que las alondras y demás aves habitantes de estos espacios, pudiesen criar y alimentarse.

¿Estaremos dispuestos a ello?.

En algunos lugares se hace con resultados muy buenos en lo referente a los aguiluchos cenizos y pálidos,

Ojala esa sensibilidad cada vez este mas presente, pero tengo muchas dudas de ello.

En la foto una Alondra común (Alauda arvensis) .

Saludos.

This close-up photograph captures the rich textures and deep hues of assorted dried flowers, a subject that often symbolizes eternity, memory, and nostalgia. Unlike fresh blooms, dried flowers represent a beauty that endures over time, often used to signify lasting love or preserved memories.

Symbolism and Meaning Eternal Love & Resilience: Dried flowers are powerful symbols of bonds that survive the passage of time. Nostalgia: They serve as physical touchstones, capturing a moment or season frozen in time. Transformation: They embody a beauty that ages gracefully, offering a different kind of wisdom than fresh blooms.

This picture represents and interesting event in this chick’s life history. Up to this point, at least during the time I was lucky enough to be watching, the most Junior would do was peck at his food. He relied upon Mom to tear up the prey and feed it to him. They demonstrated a very close bond, lots of Mom preening her pride and joy and sometimes Junior preening Mom. This shot was taken close to sunset. Mom took the foot shown in her beak, a body part Junior in the past seemed to relish, and flew to a nearby branch. From there she made a call I hadn’t heard before. It was explained to me by Karen, a woman also watching, that Mom was attempting to entice Junior to make the short flight from the nest branch to where she was perched with the tasty tidbit. I hadn’t seen the chick attempt to fly but his feathers had grown in a lot and it would not have surprised me to see a short flight. Unfortunately, I can’t get back to the nest until after Junior will have fled the coup but hope he or she has a bright future and will not move too far from the neighborhood. (Bubo virginianus).

Portuguese

O Vale dos Vinhedos é uma região que ocupa uma área de 82 quilômetros quadrados na Serra Gaúcha, no estado do Rio Grande do Sul, no Brasil. Situa-se a 130 quilômetros de Porto Alegre, a capital do estado. Os vinhos produzidos no vale são os únicos do país a apresentar o selo de indicação de procedência (desde 2002) e o de denominação de origem (desde 2011), que são garantias de qualidade dos vinhos ali produzidos. A Associação dos Produtores de Vinhos do Vale dos Vinhedos certifica os vinhos que obedecem aos padrões de qualidade exigidos por esses selos.

Localização e limites

O Vale dos Vinhedos localiza-se no triângulo formado pelas cidades de Bento Gonçalves (nordeste), Monte Belo do Sul (noroeste) e Garibaldi (sul). O Vale dos Vinhedos compreende a parte da bacia hidrográfica do Rio Pedrinho, situada a montante da foz de um córrego afluente deste e situado a sudeste da comunidade de Vale Aurora, no município de Bento Gonçalves. A parte do vale a jusante é denominada de Vale Aurora.

A maior parte da área do Vale dos Vinhedos pertence ao município de Bento Gonçalves, com 60 por cento do total, e a menor parte pertence a Monte Belo do Sul, com 7 por cento na porção noroeste. A parte sul do vale pertence ao município de Garibaldi, com 30 por cento da área total. Parte da zona urbana de Bento Gonçalves situa-se dentro do perímetro do vale, haja visto que a linha divisória de águas entre as bacias do Rio Pedrinho e do Rio Buratti passa pela parte oeste da cidade. Localizam-se ao longo desta linha, ou próximo desta, a pista do Aeroclube de Bento Gonçalves, a Estação Rodoviária de Bento Gonçalves, o Estádio da Montanha e a Estação Ferroviária de Bento Gonçalves.

Situam-se, na área do vale, o Estádio Parque Esportivo Montanha dos Vinhedos, o Centro Nacional de Pesquisa de Uva e Vinho da Embrapa, o Campus Bento Gonçalves do Instituto Federal do Rio Grande do Sul e uma grande quantidade de vinícolas. A rodovia RS-444 é a principal via do vale. O percurso tem início na RSC-470, ao sul da cidade de Bento Gonçalves, e segue no sentido oeste pelo vale em direção a Monte Belo do Sul e Santa Tereza.

Importância

A área possui suaves colinas cobertas por parreirais, plátanos e araucárias. É a região brasileira mais tradicional na produção de vinhos. O Vale dos Vinhedos representa o legado cultural e histórico deixado pelos imigrantes italianos, chegados ao Brasil em 1875 em Bento Gonçalves. Os costumes e tradições estão enraizados nas pessoas e, até mesmo, na paisagem do Vale dos Vinhedos. A construção de capelas e capitéis, a devoção aos santos, o dialeto vêneto e, principalmente, o cultivo da videira e a produção do vinho, são marcas da imigração italiana.

Vales e montanhas cobertos de parreirais marcam a beleza do Vale dos Vinhedos, hoje visitado por quem aprecia o enoturismo. São pequenas propriedades rurais dividindo espaço com vinícolas renomadas, que, ao longo dos últimos anos, conquistaram destaque nacional e internacional pela qualidade e personalidade dos seus vinhos.

 

Spanish

Vale dos Vinhedos (que significa valle de los viñedos) es una indicación geográfica brasileña para vinos finos y al mismo tiempo una región vinícola establecida por orden ministerial. Está localizada en la Sierra Gaúcha, entre los municipios de Bento Gonçalves, Garibaldi y Monte Belo do Sul, en el estado de Rio Grande do Sul.

Establecida en 2002, es la primera indicación de procedencia vinícola reconocida en Brasil y como tal está reglamentada por un consejo regulador. Produce vinos de calidad y vinos espumosos, que deben ser elaborados a base de variedades cultivadas y transformadas en la región. Entre otras, se cultivan Cabernet Sauvignon, Chardonnay, Tannat y Merlot.

El valle tiene una superficie total de 83.123 km², de los que un 26% corresponde a terrenos ocupados por viñedos. La altitud media es de 743 msnm y las temperaturas medias varían entre los 16º y 18º C.

La región fue colonizada a partir de 1875 por inmigrantes italianos procedentes de Trento y Véneto principalmente, quienes introdujeron el cultivo de la vid.

 

German

Das Vale dos Vinhedos (zu deutsch „Tal der Weingärten“) ist eine Subregion der Mittelgebirgsregion Serra Gaúcha im Nordosten des brasilianischen Bundesstaats Rio Grande do Sul.

Geschichte

Einwanderer aus Norditalien legten im Rahmen der Besiedelung im 19. Jahrhundert an den Steilhängen auf etwa 215m über NN Weinberge an. Aus diesen Ursprüngen entstand das heutige Vale dos Vinhedos.

Weinanbau

Das Tal auf dem 29. Breitengrad mit dem Hauptort Bento Gonçalves bietet gute klimatische Bedingungen und gilt als Vorzeigegebiet der brasilianischen Weinwirtschaft. Experten zufolge könne dies neben erheblichen Investitionen in die Kellereitechnik auch durch den Klimawandel begründet sein, der zu trockeneren Sommern in der Region geführt hat. Früher hatten häufige starke Regenfälle kurz vor der Erntezeit regelmäßig verhindert, Weine zu keltern. Heute werden Weine aus der Region vielfach prämiert und das Vale dos Vinhedos wird seit 2007 auch von der Europäischen Union als zertifizierte Appellation anerkannt. Zu den vorwiegend angebauten Rebsorten zählen Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc und Pinot Noir und auch Weißweine wie Riesling, Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc oder Grauburgunder.

Representing something from the past in the distant future

En la plaza se encuentran los tres monumentos más representativos de esta población.

  

Por un lado, el Ayuntamiento, de estilo renacentista y con una sencilla fachada coronada por la torre del reloj.

 

Por otro, la iglesia de Nuestra Señora de la Asunción, de estilo gótico-renacentista con una bellísima portada hispano-flamenca, y en cuyo interior se conserva el sepulcro de los Hurtado de Mendoza.

 

Ante estos dos edificios, se sitúa el Rollo Jurisdiccional, una típica picota castellana de estilo gótico considerada el símbolo de la villa.

 

This represents the reason I return to the arboretum-places of wide open skies, so relaxing, and places dense with foliage...make a picnic under shade trees, or out where you can lean back, listening to all the bird songs, or sometimes honks that sound like a foghorn...So it isn't that clear, but I like it anyway!

"Eglise Saint-Chrysogone (sv. Krševan) - basilique abbatiale La basilique abbatiale du monastère des bénédictins est placée sous le patronage de saint Chrysocale. Ses trois nefs terminent en trois absides semi-circulaires. Ce sanctuaire abrite un maître-autel de 1701, ex-voto des citoyens de Zadar après le passage de la peste. Quatre statues de marbre blanc ont été ajoutées ultérieurement, qui représentent les saints patrons de la ville de Zadar : Anastasie, Chrysogone, Siméon et Zoïle

Zadar"The church of the Benedictine Monastery named after the patron saint. It is a three nave church, ending in three semi circular apses. The main altar was constructed in 1701 in the shrine as the fulfilment of a vow made by the citizens of Zadar to save them from the plague. Later on, four white marble statues representing the patron saints of Zadar (Anastasia, Grisigono, Simon and Zoilo) were added."

The statues represent the principal cities served by Chemin de Fer du Nord, the largest central figure representing Paris.

Dans la tradition celtique, le chèvrefeuille représente la protection et le bonheur domestique. En Chine, il symbolise les liens éternels et la fidélité, tandis que dans le folklore européen, il est souvent associé à la passion amoureuse et à la loyauté. Les poètes et écrivains ont également été inspirés par ce charme floral, utilisant fréquemment le chèvrefeuille comme métaphore de l'interconnexion humaine et de la persistance de l'amour.

In Celtic tradition, honeysuckle represents protection and domestic happiness. In China, it symbolizes eternal bonds and fidelity, while in European folklore, it is often associated with passionate love and loyalty. Poets and writers have also been inspired by this floral charm, frequently using honeysuckle as a metaphor for human interconnectedness and the persistence of love.
