The Roman Forum's Temple of Venus and Roma, once Rome's largest temple, was designed by Emperor Hadrian himself and formally dedicated to the goddesses Venus Felix (the bringer of good fortune, representing amor {love}) and Roma Aeterna (Eternal Rome) in 135 A.D.
The temple once contained two connecting chambers, each of which represented one of the two divinities. Statues of both goddesses, Venus and Roma, were seated back-to-back on thrones where the chambers adjoined, each facing into her own chamber. (This placement was very deliberate, of course, since 'amor' is 'roma' spelled backwards.)

* Castillo de Medellín. Medellín. Provincia de Badajoz. Extremadura. Ruta de los Conquistadores. España.
* El Castillo de Medellín comenzó siendo un campamento romano en 74 d.C. En el siglo XIII se convirtió en una fortaleza medieval. Después de la reconquista del castillo en el año 1234 por Fernando III el Santo, perteneció a varios dueños durante el siglo XIV. El castillo lo reconstruyó el rey Enrique II, en el año 1357, si bien no alcanzó su forma definitiva hasta la segunda mitad del siglo XV. Entre los años 1475 y 1479, tomó parte a favor de Juana la Beltraneja al igual que la mayoría de la nobleza extremeña.
Se encuentra emplazado sobre una colina junto al río Guadiana. Fue declarado monumento histórico artístico y bien de interés cultural en 1931.
* Nada mejor para evocar esta foto que un fragmento del texto poético que Francisco García escribió sobre el mismo.
…El Castillo de Medellín, cual otro Arca Bíblico colocado en la cima de un montículo, es algo así como otro signo representativo de una historia que es fortaleza, que es heroísmo, que es religión, que es poesía, que es drama, que es cementerio, que sintetiza una gama de matices difícil de sintetizar en unas cuartillas periodísticas…
(FRANCISCO GARCÍA. El Castillo de Medellín.)
Everything it represented, was... Well... Everything.

If this fence represents the bars on a cell phone, the Barn Owl has an excellent signal. A nocturnal species rarely seen hunting during the day.
Si cette clôture représente des barres de réception cellulaire, cette Chouette effraie a une excellente connectivité. Une espèce nocturne que j'ai rarement vue chasser durant le jour.

Painted ceramic benches representing all the provinces in Spain are arranged round the square.
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 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.

EN: A photo representing the summer. While witing for the train I layed down in the grass with eyes up into the endless blue of the sky and by listening to the endless twittering of the Skylark. The sun couldn't have been standing higher above the scenery than now, but train RB 5927 although looked pretty when it arrived from Poland to Tantow, the first german station stop.
DE: Ein Foto, das für mich wie kaum ein anderes den Sommer repräsentiert. Beim Warten auf den Zug konnte man im Gras liegen. Der Blick fiel in eine endlose blaue Weite. Dazu der unendliche Gesang der Feldlerche, die hoch über den Feldern stand. Ok, die Sonne hätte an diesem Sommermittag auch kaum höher stehen können, aber RB 5927 machte sich zwischen den goldenen Kornfeldern trotzdem gut, wie er sich von Polen her dem ersten deutschen Bahnhof Tantow nähert.
I is for incense which represents prayer, for which I'm thankful. Incense... not so much. ;0)
I couldn't find a stinking lighter in the whole house. My wonderful husband went out in the snow and dark for me to get the torch out of the shed. :)

Wat Thang Sai is a magnificent temple built in 1996 to mark King Bhumibol Adulyadej’s 50th year of reign. It has 9 pagodas to represent His Majesty, being King Rama IX. The structure sits on top of the Thong Chai Mountain. The temple complex bears the name Phra Mahathat Chedi Phakdi Prakat.

Merci beaucoup Françoise!
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.
le cliché représente 1/3 ou 1/4 de la petite ile qu elles occupent d un bout à l autre. avec les mouettes rieuses
Mouette rieuse (beaucoup plus commune). En période de reproduction, la Mouette mélanocéphale possède une tête noire, le contour de l’oeil blanc et le bec rouge. En hiver, la tête devient presque entièrement blanche si ce n’est un bandeau grisâtre en arrière de l’œil. En toute saison, le dos et le dessus des ailes sont gris clair, les rémiges, tout comme le dessous du corps, sont blanc pur.Migratrice partielle, elle hiverne essentiellement sur les côtes atlantiques et méditerranéennes.La Mouette mélanocéphale ne se reproduit en France que depuis 1965 (Camargue). Cet oiseau est en fait originaire de la Mer Noire, mais depuis les années 1940, ses populations se sont déplacées vers l’ouest de l’Europe.On observe également de la nidification sur quelques étangs. Ces îles sont généralement couvertes de plantes herbacées et sont suffisamment éloignées du bord pour éviter toute prédation terrestre.
Noter la finesse de la représentation du plumage. Le bas de l'image manque un peu de netteté du fait que la crypte est peu lumineuse et oblige à avoir une grande ouverture (f1.8) d'ou une faible profondeur de champ.
Thank you very much for this amazing surprise. I appreciate you have chosen my photo to represent your awesome group. Hugs! Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ.

Le tulipier du Gabon (Spathodea campanulata) est une espèce d'arbres de la famille des Bignoniaceae originaire d'Afrique.
Cette espèce est largement utilisée comme arbre d'ornement en région tropicale en raison de la beauté de sa floraison et de sa facilité d'adaptation à différents milieux. Il se reproduit par des graines ailées très légères et représente pour les flores indigènes une menace très sérieuse comme plante envahissante.

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.

A layered fractal representing the new August moon.
In astronomy, the new moon is the first lunar phase, when the Moon and Sun have the same ecliptic longitude.
At this phase, the lunar disk is not visible to the unaided eye, except when silhouetted during a solar eclipse. Daylight outshines the earthlight that dimly illuminates the new moon. The actual phase is usually a very thin crescent.

Bryce Canyon National Park

The third National Park I went to was Bryce Canyon National Park. This scene was taken from Inspiration Point looking down at a natural amphitheater seen along the eastern side of the Paunsaugunt Plateau.
Bryce Canyon National Park /ˈbraɪs/ is a National Park located in southwestern Utah in the United States. The major feature of the park is Bryce Canyon, which despite its name, is not a canyon, but a collection of giant natural amphitheaters along the eastern side of the Paunsaugunt Plateau. Bryce is distinctive due to geological structures called hoodoos, formed by frost weathering and stream erosion of the river and lake bed sedimentary rocks. The red, orange, and white colors of the rocks provide spectacular views for park visitors. Bryce sits at a much higher elevation than nearby Zion National Park. The rim at Bryce varies from 8,000 to 9,000 feet (2,400 to 2,700 m).
The Bryce Canyon area was settled by Mormon pioneers in the 1850s and was named after Ebenezer Bryce, who homesteaded in the area in 1874. The area around Bryce Canyon became a National Monument in 1923 and was designated as a National Park in 1928. The park covers 35,835 acres (55.992 sq mi; 14,502 ha; 145.02 km2) and receives substantially fewer visitors than Zion National Park (nearly 4.3 million in 2016) or Grand Canyon National Park (nearly 6 million in 2016), largely due to Bryce's more remote location. In 2016, Bryce Canyon received 2,365,110 recreational visitors, representing an increase of 35% from the prior year. - From Wikipedia
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).

No flower represents the chilly fall season like Mums.
My neighbor has two pots of these beauties.
Fun fact: all Mums (Chrysanthemums) are asters, but not all asters (such as Daisies) are Mums :)
Nakhthorhed, à genoux, mains sur les cuisses, est ici représenté dans une attitude de prière. D’après les inscriptions hiéroglyphiques gravées sur le pilier dorsal, il est un haut serviteur de l’Etat, un prêtre proche du pharaon Psammétique II, au 6e siècle avant J.C. Sur le pourtour de la base, deux formules d’offrande le placent sous la protection du dieu Thot. Placer ainsi son effigie dans un temple est ce moyen pour les commanditaires de bénéficier des offrandes qui sont faites à la divinité. Le style épuré rappelle par ailleurs la statuaire de l’Ancien Empire, au 3e millénaire avant J.C. La qualité de la sculpture de cette statue, l’une des plus anciennes dans la collection française, a joué un grand rôle dans la prise en charge de l’art égyptien au même rang que l’art gréco-romain.

This image represents one of the first photographs taken after nearly two months of not even picking up my camera. This is also my first upload here on flickr in over two months. It's been even longer since I've had the time to comment on everyone's photostreams. Now that life is settling down into a more manageable pace, I hope to begin catching up with all of you.
I titled this image Old Faithful because no matter the season, this creek always has good flow. On the day I shot this I had checked on a few other creeks and found them very dry and finally decided to go here - I knew there would be water and I knew the late afternoon light would be sweet.

With two Le Mans wins, dozens of grand prix victories, five Targa Florios, a Manufacturers’ Championship, and the build of some of the pre-war period’s most celebrated sports and luxury automobiles to its credit, it is no wonder that the Bugatti marque is regularly honored at world-class concours d’elegance and museums. The Molsheim, France-based brand is so esteemed that a commemoration of its 100th anniversary was never in doubt. So when the occasion arrived in 2009, the Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance duly pronounced Bugatti’s centenary as one of the event’s guiding themes.
This opportunity was not lost on Bugatti Automobiles SaS, the modern successor to Ettore Bugatti’s original Alsatian concern. The company’s signature product, the 1,001-horsepower Veyron 16.4, had spent years in careful development by the VW Group’s specialized engineers, and was received with justifiable acclaim by journalists and enthusiasts alike upon its 2005 introduction, redefining the benchmark for the modern hypercar in the process.
The Veyron was capable of accelerating from 0 to 62 mph in just 2.46 seconds, en route to a top speed just over 408 km/h (nearly 254 mph). Built around a magnificent mid-mounted, quad-turbocharged 8.0-liter W-16 engine with four valves per cylinder and a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission, it astonished the world with its surefootedness even at the most extreme speeds, enabled by a full-time Haldex all-wheel-drive system. The stopping power was stunning, as the Veyron was anchored by massive carbon-ceramic disc brakes with 15.7-inch discs and eight-piston, four-pad calipers up front, while 15-inch discs with six-piston, two-pad calipers were mounted at the rear. The alloy wheels, respectively 20 and 21 inches at the front and rear, were shod with special Michelin Pilot Sport PS2 PAX run-flat tires engineered specifically for the Veyron.
Three different drive modes governed the dizzying array of technology: a Normal mode, at which the ride height was 4.9 inches; a Handling mode that deployed the rear spoiler and lowered ride height to 3.15 inches; and a special, key-activated High-Speed mode that dropped ride height to 2.56 inches in front and 2.75 at the rear, while changing the spoiler position. Even the car’s ancillary systems, including no fewer than 10 radiators, were marvels of automotive engineering conceived to perform under the most demanding circumstances.
All of this was encased within an intricately hand-crafted structure, actually shorter in overall length than a modern Porsche 911, though riding on a longer 106.7-inch wheelbase, while being noticeably lower and wider than the benchmark German sports car of the day. It was instantly and definitively recognizable as the pinnacle product that it aspired to be—the modern Bugatti, a sporting speed machine that looked and performed like absolutely nothing else on the road.
The name anemone comes from the Greek word for "windflower." According to Greek mythology, the anemone sprang from Aphrodite's tears as she mourned the death of Adonis.
Thought to bring luck and protect against evil, legend has it that when the anemone closes its petals, it's a signal that rain is approaching.
Still other mythology connects the anemone to magical fairies, who were believed to sleep under the petals after they closed at sunset. Perhaps it's because of this magical and prophetic tales that today in the language of flowers, anemones represent anticipation
