Punakha Valley, Bhutan.

Rice terraces stairstep down the Punakha Valley in Bhutan, a tiny Buddhist kingdom in the Himalaya. Roughly three-quarters of the country's 635,000 people survive by raising crops and livestock, but less than a tenth of the rugged land is arable.

Smyrna Methodist Church is a historic church in rural White County, Arkansas. It is a single story wood frame structure, with a gabled roof, mainly weatherboard siding, and a stone foundation. A small open belfry rises from the roof ridge, topped by a gabled roof. The front facade has a projecting gabled vestibule, its gabled section finished in diamond-cut wooden shingles. The main gable is partly finished in vertical board siding, with decorative vergeboard woodwork attached to the roof edge. Built in 1854, it is one of the county's few surviving pre-Civil War buildings, and its finest surviving Greek Revival church. Some of the logs used to build the church began growing as trees in the early 1600s.

The church was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1992.

Le Pigeon biset (Columba livia) est une espèce d'oiseaux de la famille des Columbidés. C'est l'espèce qui comprend le pigeon domestique et la plupart des pigeons des villes mais qui subsiste également comme oiseau sauvage dans son milieu naturel original : les falaises et autres milieux rocheux. Le type domestique est différent du type sauvage.

Fidèles jusqu'à la mort..!

Une fois unis, restent ensemble jusqu'à la mort de l'un des deux.

The Rock Pigeon (Columba livia) is a bird that belongs to the Columbidae family. It is the species which includes the domestic pigeon and most of the pigeons of the cities but which also survives as a wild bird in its natural environment of origin: the cliffs and other rocky environments. The domestic type is different from the wild type.

Faithful until death ..!

Once united, stay together until one of them dies.

The monastery of San Juan de la Peña is a religious complex in the town of Santa Cruz de la Serós, at the south-west of Jaca, in the province of Huesca, Spain. It was one of the most important monasteries in Aragon in the Middle Ages. Its two-level church is partially carved in the stone of the great cliff that overhangs the foundation. San Juan de la Peña means "Saint John of the Cliff".

The lower church includes some mozarabic architectural surviving elements, although most of the parts of the monastery (including the impressive cloister, under the great rock) are Romanesque. After the fire of 1675, a new monastery was built. The old monastery (built in 920) was declared a National Monument on 13 July 1889, and the new monastery in 1923. In the 11th century the monastery became part of the Benedictine Order and was the first monastery in Spain to use the Latin Mass.

The cloister, built ca. 1190, contains a series of capitals with Biblical scenes that originally were arranged in chronological sequence, a design found elsewhere in the region.[1]

The monastery is built beneath a huge rock sometimes associated with the legendary "Monte Pano". The second floor contains a royal pantheon of kings of Aragon and Navarre. The present room, with its marbles and stucco medallions recalling historic battles, is mainly a design built during the administration of Charles III of Spain in 1770. It contains the resting places of the following kings of Aragón: Ramiro I, Sancho Ramírez, and Peter I of Aragon and Navarre

Legend said that the chalice of the Last Supper (Holy Grail) was sent to the monastery for protection and prevention from being captured by the Muslim invaders of the Iberian Peninsula. It is alleged to be the same cup that was presented in 1438 by Alfonso V of Aragon to the Valencia Cathedral. See Santo cáliz for further details.

The monastery is the namesake of the Chronicle of San Juan de la Peña, which was partially researched and composed there.

I've been taking some mobile artistry courses and this is the result of work done on the ipad. I'm really amazed at how much these apps can do! Also, the original photo was taken with a wonderful black and white camera app called Lenka--I highly recommend it. Be sure to check out the apps Glitché and Matter. This was an abandoned church for sale in a very small Texas town.

This plant survives the climate and ever-changing weather:-)

I placed rocks around it and am happy to see it return yearly.

A mat-forming species of Dianthus well-suited for use as a small-scale groundcover. Blooms over a long period, the cheery flowers are resting atop a bed of deep green, needle-like foliage. Good soil drainage, year-round, is essential.

Uses

Perfectly sized for rock gardens and border fronts. Cut flowers are long-lasting in fresh bouquets. Perfect for all kinds of containers.

The chapel survived in the middle of the new dam lake that will be created two years after the process of filling the dam lake with water....

It really is a Miracle Garden covering a large expanse of desert. With temperatures in the 40s, it's hard to believe anything could survive let alone be this beautiful.

La Ceja, Colombia; Central Andes; 2.300 meters above sea level.

Ortalis columbiana (Colombian Chacalaca / Guacharaca)

Endemic to Colombia, as its name would suggest, and the only chachalaca within its now relatively limited range in the central (Cauca and Magdalena) valleys of the country. It is found in both humid and deciduous forests, but the species’ range and population are both almost certainly declining, and it survives only in pockets.

Storm - Lifehouse

How long have I been in this storm?

So overwhelmed by the ocean's shapeless form

Water's getting harder to tread

With these waves crashing over my head

If I could just see you

Everything would be alright

If I'd see you

This darkness would turn to light

And I will walk on water

And you will catch me if I fall

And I will get lost into your eyes

I know everything will be alright

I know everything is alright

I know you didn't bring me out here to drown

So why am I ten feet under and upside down?

Barely surviving has become my purpose

'Cause I'm so used to living underneath the surface

If I could just see you

Everything would be alright

If I'd see you

This darkness would turn to light

And I will walk on water

And you will catch me if I fall

And I will get lost into your eyes

I know everything will be alright

And I will walk on water

And you will catch me if I fall

And I will get lost into your eyes

I know everything will be alright

I know everything is alright

"And it's falling apart

Around us now

The room in a spin

I hear the howl of the wind

And the pounding of the rain

And I'd give everything to dream again

There must be more than

Surviving, surviving

Surviving, surviving

Surviving, surviving

And nothing else"

I survived

I won't just survive

Oh, you will see me thrive

Can't write my story

I'm beyond the archetype

I won't just conform

No matter how you shake my core

'Cause my roots, they run deep, oh

Oh, ye of so little faith

Don't doubt it, don't doubt it

Victory is in my veins

I know it, I know it

And I will not negotiate

I'll fight it, I'll fight it

I will transform

When, when the fire's at my feet again

And the vultures all start circling

They're whispering, you're out of time

But still, I rise

This is no mistake, no accident

When you think the final nail is in, think again

Don't be surprised, I will still rise

Hello amazing Flickr people!!

Today is red day at Color My World Daily. And at Macro Mondays the theme is: windowsill.

Lately, on my windowsill I have plenty of items, including plants… Yes, you heard right, I have a few new plants mostly lettuce and celery … I’m planning on starting a small vegetable garden in my backyard.

But today, on my windowsill we have Red Lady. She is standing in her small red house, watching the world outside… Everything is so calm and peaceful outside… No cars (or only a few), people walking calmly and keeping their distances… It feels like the whole world just stopped and now it is adjusting to the new social distancing rules.

Red Lady feels so lucky to be safe and well in her small house. But at the same time, she looks at her windows and she must admit that she needs to wash those really fast if she wants to be able to see something... And it has to be done way before the lockdown is over !! So yes, people I have to get my act together and do some spring cleaning ASP!! Thank you Macro Mondays people for this awesome theme which made me realize how much my windows are dirty, from the outside and inside as well !!

And since it is Monday, I have another video meeting this morning so wish me luck !

Thank you so much for all your lovely comments / favs/ general support / happy thoughts / positive vibes!! It is truly appreciated! I sincerely hope everyone is all right and you all have everything you need to survive this with a smile! Have a great day and see you soon!!

In a small valley in the Luberon hills surrounded by forests in Provence sits the beautiful abbey of Sénanque. This shot was taken standing inside the Abbeys cloisters in 2018

The abbey was consecrated in 1178. Amongst its surviving structures, arefine examples of Romanesque architecture including the abbey church, cloister, dormitory and chapter house. The abbey is a remarkably untouched by time the architecture is quite severe , not to offer sensual distraction.

In the 13th and 14th centuries, Sénanque reached its apogee, operating four mills, seven farms and possessing large estates in Provence. In 1509 the community at Sénanque had shrunk to about a dozen monks. During the Wars of Religion the quarters for the lay brothers were destroyed and the abbey was ransacked by Huguenots. At the French Revolution the abbey's lands were nationalised, the one remaining monk was expelled and Sénanque itself was sold to a private individual. It was only in 1854 that the Abbey returned to its traditional role

Abbey "Ten Duinen"

Onze-Lieve-Vrouw Ten Duinen, short Duinenabdij, was an abbey on the Belgian coast in Koksijde. The abbey joined the Order of Cîteaux in 1138 and was abolished in 1796, meanwhile in Bruges. The motto of the abbey was Fac necessitate virtutem; Make a virtue of necessity.

But we're never gonna survive, unless

We get a little crazy

No we're never gonna survive, unless
