Il lago Kunmin si trova a 25 Km da Pechino nel luogo dove nella seconda metà del 1800 è stato realizzato dall'imperatrice cinese Cixi quello che poi sarà chiamato "Il Palazzo d'Estate".
Il suo nome potrebbe far pensare ad una sontuosa residenza con centinaia di camere ed enormi saloni, sullo stile delle regge europee. Ma il Palazzo d’Estate, dichiarato dall'UNESCO "Patrimonio dell'Umanità", è soprattutto uno splendido parco (uno dei quattro più belli dell'intera Cina) in cui l’arte del giardino cinese raggiunge una delle sue massime espressioni.
I suoi panorami sembrano usciti da un dipinto di epoca classica: dalla sponda del lago Kunming, che copre i tre quarti della superficie del parco, si intravedono templi, ponti e pagode, alcuni immersi nel verde ed altri aggrappati alla collina. Se il cielo è limpido ( e non lo è spesso...), mettete in programma almeno una mezza giornata per visitare il Palazzo d’Estate, in modo da avere un’ora libera per rilassarvi su un prato o per fare un giro in battello sul lago.
I pechinesi si recano qui soprattutto durante i mesi estivi, quando l’afa del centro di Pechino è insopportabile, e per loro una giornata al Palazzo d’Estate equivale a una gita fuori porta.

Playa Perissa, se trata de un espléndido tramo de costa de casi 7 km de arena negra volcánica, al igual que Kamaria salpicada de cantos y guijarros, y un mar de un azul intenso oscuro donde se pueden practicar distintas actividades acuáticas como el snorkeling, pero también jet ski, paseos en motos de agua, banana boat, kiteboard, esquí acuatico etc., que se pueden contratar en alguno de los centros acuáticos de la zona.
En Perissa tienen también un parque acuático. Por lo que respeta a la arena, además de zonas equipadas con sombrillas y hamacas y las libres, también hay otras para practicar beach-volley, áreas reservadas para los más pequeños y otras dedicadas a los happenings (actividades de baile coreográficos de animación). Otros servicios interesantes a lo largo del paseo marítimo de Playa Perissa y en el pueblo en sí, son sus negocios, restaurantes, cafés, minimercados y tiendas de ropa y souvenirs.

in a life without you
something remains fixed
Absence is increased presence
isn’t it ... ?
in einem Leben ohne dich
bleibt etwas unbeweglich
ist Abwesenheit verstärkte Anwesenheit …
;-) …
Proust sagt in Freuden und Tagen - Ist nicht die Abwesenheit für denjenigen, der liebt, die sicherste, die wirksamste, die lebendigste, die unzerstörbarste, die treueste aller Anwesenheit ? - ... ;-) ...

It was my Uncle Peter who put his finger on it in his gentle Cork accent. “You can’t have the one without the other,” he said, as I glowered into the final Irish breakfast of my visit one morning many years ago. The party was over and it was time to skulk back towards life and the hamster wheel. I always think of those simple words when the holiday is over. The triumph of arrival, ever balanced by the sinking sensation in the pit of your stomach when it’s time to go home again. The last trudge back to the hire car from the beach after sunset. This time tomorrow the angler will almost certainly be out there on the rocks again, oblivious to the fact that we’ll be back in British airspace. The couple in the apartment next door who arrived here yesterday will be heading down to the pool area, armed with rubber rings and sunscreen as we do the drive of shame, stopping at reception to return the key cards and just about managing a forlorn, “Yes we had a lovely time thanks. We’ll be back next year.” Seconds later the receptionist will have forgotten us entirely, as she moves on to the family surrounded by suitcases who’ve just been whisked here by the transfer bus from the airport. In Lajares, the front of house team at La Boqueria, who’ve served us so many times won’t register our final farewell as they prepare for the lunchtime rush. Just one more of those goat’s cheese salads feels like a dream right now. I’ve had six or seven of them since we’ve been here. Had one today in fact. I don’t even look at the menu anymore - “ensalada de cabra por favor!” And the sun will continue to blaze uncaringly over the island as we taxi down the runway and set course for the icy dampness on the other side of Europe.
But it’s always that cruel last afternoon on the beach when I feel it the most, as the sun begins to lose its warmth and the light starts to fail. It’s what we come for - those lazy afternoons under blue skies next to the ocean as furious winter enters its final phase and kicks in the doors at home. There will be sunshine as we drag our bags into the airport terminal from the hire car, but it won’t be ours like it was today and yesterday. Now it belongs to the angler on the rocks, the couple next door, the waiting team at la Boqueria and the family who just got off the plane. It’s always at this moment that we wish we could be magically spirited home at the snap of a finger. Just get it over with - we’ll sacrifice the final evening. Why has nobody invented the teleporters like Captain Kirk had on the Starship Enterprise yet?
We remind ourselves that spring is on the way - and we live in Cornwall for goodness sake. Our own back garden is a tourist Mecca in itself. Half the country would auction their vital organs on eBay to set up home on the peninsula. And there’s no hamster wheel anymore since we retired. Thoughts of these make it easier, but there’s still that tedious journey - and the weather on the other side. Even in beautiful Cornwall the weather is horrible in winter. There’s the summer hike in Scotland to look forward to as well - yes I know about the midges - done battle with those before and they won’t put us off. Menorca in October too - we’ve never been there before. There’s a long distance hiking trail we like the look of, so we’re already thinking about a second visit before we’ve even made the first. Stuff to look forward to - other mountains to climb, especially in Scotland. There’s always the next adventure. We never go away without having the prospect of at least one future escapade sizzling in the wok to keep our spirits from flagging as we face the impending temperature collapse. It’s what keeps us going, especially in winter. Ali had a retirement gift in the form of a holiday voucher with a well known operator and we really ought to think about where we’re going to cash that one in. So many places to see. We have to do this stuff while we’re still young and healthy enough - you never know what life might fling at you when you least expect it.
One thing that never fails to amaze me is that you can get on a plane in a freezing rainstorm at home, and just a few hours later arrive in a place like this. It’s as if there’s a conjurer hiding in the clouds. At some point tomorrow, as the pilot tells us we’re somewhere over the northwest coast of Brittany, the sky will darken along with the mood of the passengers, a stubborn yet sizeable minority of them wearing flip flops and t-shirts as if summer will have somehow arrived three months early and surprised us all when we touch down at Bristol. But our plane will descend through soupy grey clouds, the windows speckled with raindrops as for the first time we see an endless web of orange lights spreading away into the distance, just before thumping down onto a blackened wet runway. We’ve had some rain in Fuerteventura this time, but never for more than three or four minutes and almost always followed by bright warm sunshine. When we set off for home, it will still be warm and sunny here, as if under an enchantment - life on the island of perpetual summer will carry on as if we were never here at all. We’ll drive down the fast road to the airport, leaving the white dunes of Corralejo in the rear view mirror, spotting side roads we never explored, making plans for next time before we’ve even left.
But there’s no denying that this sunsoaked Spanish archipelago has seen us off in style today. As I stand here on the beach behind my tripod, gazing at the spot where the sun has just dipped below the sea, the clouds light up in a fierce display of golds, oranges and pinks, a fine farewell flourish. I wonder whether the angler has even noticed, lost in his own world at the edge of the ocean. Again I think of my uncle’s words in these moments. There’s always the next time to look forward to, even if my home made goat’s cheese salad won’t be half as good as the one at La Boqueria.

------------------------------ JESUS ✝️ SAVES-------------------------------
SALVATION THROUGH FAITH IN CHRIST JESUS ALONE!
❤️❤️ IT'S ALL JESUS AND NONE OF OURSELVES! ❤️❤️
1. Now, brothers, I want to remind you of the gospel I preached to you, which you received and on which you have taken your stand. 2. BY THIS GOSPEL YOU ARE SAVED, if you hold firmly to the word I preached to you. Otherwise, you have believed in vain.
3. For what I received I passed on to you as of first importance: that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, 4. that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures, 5. and that he appeared to Peter, and then to the Twelve. 6. After that, he appeared to more than five hundred of the brothers at the same time, most of whom are still living, though some have fallen asleep. 7. Then he appeared to James, then to all the apostles, 8. and last of all he appeared to me also, as to one abnormally born.
9. For I am the least of the apostles and do not even deserve to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the church of God. 10. But by the grace of God I am what I am, and his grace to me was not without effect. No, I worked harder than all of them--yet not I, but the grace of God that was with me. 11. Whether, then, it was I or they, this is what we preach, and this is what you believed. (1 Corinthians 15:1-11)
7. Therefore Jesus said again, "I tell you the truth, I am the gate for the sheep. 8. All who ever came before me were thieves and robbers, but the sheep did not listen to them. 9. I am the gate; whoever enters through me WILL BE SAVED. He will come in and go out, and find pasture. 10. The thief comes only to STEAL and KILL and DESTROY; I have come that they may have LIFE, and have it to the FULL. (John 10:7-10)
Jesus came to bring spiritual LIFE to the spiritually dead and set the captives FREE! FREE from RELIGION, ERROR and outright LIES, so WE might serve THE LIVING GOD! In SPIRIT and in TRUTH!
So you'll KNOW, and not think you're to bad for God to love. The Christian LIFE isn't about how good WE are, because NONE of us are! It's about how GOOD JESUS IS! Because JESUS LOVES US, so much he died in our place and took the punishment for all of our sins on himself. The wages of sin is DEATH, and Jesus died that death for YOU and I. The good news is there no more punishment for sin left, we were and are all born forgive as a result of the crucifixion of God himself on the cross that took away the sins of the whole world. All we have to do is believe it, and put your Faith in the finished work of Jesus Christ. That my friends is REAL UNCONDITIONAL LOVE! YOU ARE LOVED. ❤️ ✝️ ❤️

It goes without saying that two of my passions are clouds and the colors of a sunset or sunrise. Therefore, this past sunset I have enjoyed this gift of nature with these beautiful clouds, that I missed so much, enlightened by the colors of a stormy sunset that left occasional rain showers.
After a horribly dry and extremely hot summer, the atmosphere begins to change and storms finally begin to decorate our skies.
I hope you like the photo and I take this opportunity to wish you a happy Wednesday night!

Atardecer tormentoso dramático sobre Madrid, España
No hace falta decir que dos de mis pasiones son las nubes y los colores de un atardecer o un amanecer. Por tanto, este pasado atardecer he disfrutado de este regalo de la naturaleza con estas bonitas nubes, a las que tanto echaba de menos, iluminadas por los colores de un atardecer tormentoso que dejó ocasionales chubascos.
Después de un tórrido y horroroso verano seco y extremadamente caluroso, la atmósfera empieza a cambiar y las tormentas por fin empiezan a decorar nuestros cielos.
Espero que os guste la foto y aprovecho para desearos una feliz noche de miércoles!

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.

It was blustery this morning. Without my trusty tripod I would not have been taking pictures like this one. The vulture was having a hard time hanging on to its perch.
I think he's handsome. Don't you?
They do have a nasty habit of pooping on their feet. On close inspection the feet are black. The poop makes them white.

Without the Pennsy signals it sure looks bland but the alcos still offere the same fun as before! 630 charges out of North Driftwood returning to Olean
A shorebird you can see without going to the beach, Killdeer are graceful plovers common to lawns, golf courses, athletic fields, and parking lots. These tawny birds run across the ground in spurts, stopping with a jolt every so often to check their progress, or to see if they’ve startled up any insect prey. Their voice, a far-carrying, excited kill-deer, is a common sound even after dark, often given in flight as the bird circles overhead on slender wings.
Killdeer have the characteristic large, round head, large eye, and short bill of all plovers. They are especially slender and lanky, with a long, pointed tail and long wings. Brownish-tan on top and white below. The white chest is barred with two black bands, and the brown face is marked with black and white patches. The bright orange-buff rump is conspicuous in flight.
