La commune de Hienghène est réputée pour ses falaises de calcaire noir aux formes spécifiques, dont les plus célèbres rappellent une « poule couveuse.
Si l'on suit la côte en remontant vers le nord-ouest à flanc de montagne, le paysage alterne cascades, embouchures de rivières, cocoteraies et végétation luxuriante. La rivière de la Ouaième ne possède pas de pont, et n'en a jamais possédé. Le seul moyen d'atteindre l'autre rive est d'embarquer sur le bac. Le bac permet d'embarquer plusieurs véhicules. Le bac de la Ouaième est d'autant plus célèbre et symbolique du fait qu'il est le dernier de ce genre en Nouvelle-Calédonie. Chaque traversée est assurée par un passeur expérimenté puisque ce métier se transmet de génération en génération. C'est un passage obligé pour quiconque se lancerait dans un tour de l'île.

Hello my amazing Flickr friends !
Today is a pink or purple day at Color my World Daily and the theme at Smile on Saturday is Infinity symbol. At first, I had a very difficult time to find an infinity symbol in my props… but then there was this elastic orange hair band laying on the floor in front of me. And since I’m lazy I wasn’t about to pick it up (especially that my house is a total mess right now because of our renovations) until I noticed that it was a perfect Infinity symbol ! Isn’t that great ? Of course, turning an orange elastic band into a levitating infinity symbol was another problem but I’m pretty much satisfied with the results. And I truly hope it will make you smile !!
Juste for your information: I have lots of things going on in my personal life right now and due to our renovations going super fast my « photo studio » (aka coffee table) and all my props had to take a vacation and all of my stuff is currently in my bathtub (yes, people !! The struggle is real, there is virtually no free space left in my house … event the bathtub is full of stuff !! And yes, we did put a cork in, just in case !!). So I’m will not be able to publish daily anymore (which makes me truly sad since I got truly attached to all your awesome comments, support and this amazing community…). For now, I will be officially on « vacation » from Flickr (but it isn’t by choice …). I will try to publish as soon as possible. Until then : stay well and safe my friends !!
Have a beautiful day !! Mucho, mucho amor for you all !!
Thank you so much for all your lovely comments / favs/ general support / happy thoughts!! Stay safe and well!!
Qasr Al Watan , The new Presidential Palace is an architecturally breathtaking national symbol for the UAE in general and Abu Dhabi in particular.
We can express our feelings regarding the world around us either by poetic or by descriptive means. I prefer to express myself metaphorically. Let me stress: metaphorically, not symbolically. A symbol contains within itself a definite meaning, certain intellectual formula, while metaphor is an image. An image possessing the same distinguishing features as the world it represents. An image — as opposed to a symbol — is indefinite in meaning. One cannot speak of the infinite world by applying tools that are definite and finite. We can analyse the formula that constitutes a symbol, while metaphor is a being-within-itself, it's a monomial. It falls apart at any attempt of touching it.
― Andrei Tarkovsky
Buzludzha is a communist monument - build in Bulgaria in the 70s and abbandoned in 1989.
Unluckely I couldn't manage to take picture outside to the strange UFO shape of the building due to the tremndous fog and wind
I am so lucky to have two kids that absolutely adore each other. They are also very creative, so I did not even have to ask to make this love symbol for me. I love them dearly.
I was not going to post a entry for the ‘Infinity Symbol’ task on Smile on Saturday this week until just opening Flickr to check on the number of views that I had had overnight. There on my Flickr homepage was an example of the very same symbol, just staring me in my face, almost taunting me to say ‘Go on, if Flickr’s given you this example, then jolly well use it!’.
So here it is, a photo of a tiny section off my Flickr data page, tweaked a little to get the best results from the image. Very surprised that no one else has used it.
A symbol of premature celebration due to lifting of some Covid-19 restrictions…literally 20mins after the announcement that the Balearics were shifted to the Green List, my GLW had flights and hotel booked!
A photo of an old fence and barbed wire in the snow taken just before dawn in Jasper County, Iowa. I hope you also enjoy my accompanying poem and regardless, have a Happy Fence Friday !!
In the hush of winter’s dawn,
A fence and wire stand forlorn.
Amidst the snow's serene embrace,
A peaceful stillness fills this place.
The fence and wire, a symbol strong,
Of strength and time, they've been here long.
But in the snow, they seem so frail,
A reminder true, that all things pale.
The frozen air, is so crisp and clear,
I hear their whispered secrets in my ear.
Of days gone by and tales untold,
Of relentless strength amidst the cold.
For though the snow can bring us cold,
It also brings a beauty bold.
So let us take a moment's rest,
And see winter’s beauty in its best.
The photo was developed with Darktable 3.6.0 and color-graded with the Davinci Resolve LUT "Lavender Shadows".
It's all about the point of view. I knew what I wanted and realised I needed to take the photo from the upper deck of a bus to get it.
...flowers of September....
...offer the morning glory as a symbol to a person who needs some tenacity to go after their dreams. Morning glories take each twist and turn in the road (or on the trellis!) in their stride and just keep on going. This is the key to their success....
Route 175 just about to turn into a sideroad as one comes out.
I'm sorry I'm still not posting regularly, my recovery has not gone to plan.
Le Château des Comtes à Gand est un symbole fascinant de l'histoire médiévale flamande. Construit au XIIe siècle, ce château fortifié servait de résidence aux comtes de Flandre et illustre l'architecture militaire de l'époque.

Il Tower Bridge, il ponte simbolo di Londra fu costruito in stile gotico vittoriano nel 1886 su di un progetto di Horace Jones e Wolfe Barry, e fu terminato nel 1894.
Tower Bridge è costituito da due parti mobili che, in meno di un minuto, si sollevano completamente durante il passaggio di grandi navi grazie a un sistema elettronico che nel 1976 ha sostituito il vecchio impianto idraulico.
Un tempo le parti mobili si aprivano fino a 5 volte al giorno, ma oggi non vengono quasi più aperte perché le navi ormai attraccano in tutt’altra zona, più a valle, e non hanno più necessità di passare dal ponte per raggiungere le banchine.
Sul Tower Bridge sorgono le due famose torri, alte 25 m, che lo caratterizzano su foto e cartoline, e al loro interno ospitano alcune mostre e un museo: The Tower Bridge Exhibition che, attraverso percorsi interattivi, espone gli ingranaggi idraulici che hanno sollevato il ponte fino al 1976.
The Tower Bridge, symbol of London, was built in Gothic Victorian style in 1886 on a project of Wolfe Barry and Horace Jones, and was completed in 1894.
Tower Bridge is composed of two moving parts. During the passage of large ships, in less than a minute, these parts are raised completely with an electronic system that in 1976 replaced the old hydraulic system.
Once the moving parts were opened up to 5 times a day, but today are hardly opened because the ships dock is in a completely different area, further downstream
Two famous towers, 25 m tall, stand on the Tower Bridge. These towers characterize the bridge in photos and postcards and inside host some exhibits and a museum: The Tower Bridge Exhibition.
To celebrate Earth Day, here's a California Condor.
In 1982, only 22 California Condors were left in the world.
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service began a captive breeding program in 1983, teaming with the Los Angeles Zoo and the San Diego Wild Animal Park. (Additional breeding facilities were added later at The Peregrine Fund's World Center for Birds of Prey in Boise, Idaho and at the Oregon Zoo in Portland, Oregon.)
Thanks to the monumental effort by these organizations and the dedicated people involved, California Condors now number over 500, with more than half flying free in the wild.
Our guilt lies open before you; *
our secrets in the light of your face.
-Psalm 90
I will lead the blind on their journey; *
by paths unknown I will guide them.
I will turn darkness into light before them, *
and make crooked ways straight.
-Isaiah 42

La posidonia (posidonia oceanica), no es una alga si no una planta superior, que en un momento de la evolución ha vuelto al mar. Está considerada com una de las principales fuentes de vida del Mediterráneo, y, por desgracia, se encuentra en peligro de extinción.

Die eucharistischen Fische sind ein verbreitetes Bildmotiv der frühchristlichen Kunst und als Wandmalereien anzutreffen.Das (I·Ch·Th·Y·S-)Symbol besteht aus zwei gekrümmten Linien, die einen Fisch darstellen.
The ichthys or ichthus is a symbol consisting of two intersecting arcs, the ends of the right side extending beyond the meeting point so as to resemble the profile of a fish. The symbol was adopted by early Christians as a secret symbol. It is now known colloquially as the "sign of the fish" or the "Jesus fish".
