Vulingjuen, Kina -Wulingyuan, China
Tianqiashengkong means “heavenly bridge”. This name was given by the inhabitants of the village of Zhangjiajie (Zhangjendje) to what is considered to be the largest natural bridge in the world.
Tianqiashengkong (Tjenćašengkung) znači “nebeski most”. To ime su stanovnici sela Zhangjiajie (Džangđenđe) dali onome što se smatra najvećim prirodnim mostom na svijetu. Njegova dužina iznosi 40 metara, širina 10, a debljina 15. Štite ga dva brda koja se izdižu 350 metara iznad dna doline. Pa, ipak, Tianqiashengkong je samo jedna od neobičnih atrakcija u Vulingjuenu, oblasti tako izvanrednih odlika da je zovu “Prirodni lavirint”. Zauzima 264 km² oko basena Suosji Torenta kojim se odvodi višak vode. Ovo je planinska oblast visine između 460 m i 1.370 m ispresijecana sa šezdesetak planinskih potoka i rijeka. Tokom vijekova erozija je izazvana površinskim vodama i obilnim kišnim padavinama stvorila izvanrednu šumu s više od 3.000 šiljaka od kvarcita koji se izdižu preko 200 m u visinu i u čijem sastavu se nalazi 75% do 95% čistog kvarca. Između ovih šiljaka vijugaju živopisne klisure i ponori s vodopadima, barama i jezerima. Na tom lokalitetu…

UPDATE: 56 Palestinians, 6 Israelis Killed as Tensions Escalate | Egyptian Streets
Egyptian Foreign Minister Sameh Shoukry made a statement on Tuesday in a meeting of Arab Foreign Ministers in response to the escalating situation.
“Egypt will not stand idle towards what is going on in the holy city,” he stated. “It provokes our feelings to see this holy spot turned into a war zone at the hands of the Israeli forces, where the unarmed worshipers were insulted and subjected to beating and arrest instead of being protected to worship freely and safely.”

🌸Quote #4
You can be lonely anywhere, but there is a particular flavour to the loneliness that comes from living in a city, surrounded by millions of people. One might think this state was antithetical to urban living, to the massed presence of other human beings, and yet mere physical proximity is not enough to dispel a sense of internal isolation. It’s possible – easy, even – to feel desolate and unfrequented in oneself while living cheek by jowl with others. Cities can be lonely places, and in admitting this we see that loneliness doesn’t necessarily require physical solitude, but rather an absence or paucity of connection, closeness, kinship: an inability, for one reason or another, to find as much intimacy as is desired.Unhappy, as the dictionary has it,as a result of being without the companionship of others. Hardly any wonder, then, that it can reach its apotheosis in a crowd.

Song For Today
What a great song!
16 dintr-o expoziție
Of the twenty-seven thousand paintings in the collection of the Pushkin Museum in Moscow, two hundred traveled to the West for the first time to the Custody Foundation in Paris (rue de Lille, 121), a space with quality exhibitions. The collection belonged to the Russian aristocracy and came into the possession of the Pushkin Museum through post-revolutionary nationalizations. I have chosen some rare compositions of graphics, watercolor and painting signed by great masters, I present them to you, with their little story.
Paris, 2019
Din cele douăzeci și șapte de mii de tablouri aflate în colecția muzeului Pușkin, la Moscova, două sute au călătorit pentru prima dată în Occident, la Fundația Custodia din Paris (rue de Lille, 121), un spațiu cu expoziții de calitate. Colecția a aparținut aristocrației rusești și a intrat în posesia muzeului Pușkin prin naționalizările post-revoluționare. Am ales câteva compoziții rare de grafică, acuarelă și pictură semnate de mari maeștri, vi le prezint și vouă, cu mica lor poveste.
Ați întâlnit vreodată o sibilă ?

Nu v-ar strica, pentru că sibila are darul profeției. Dar, vă previn, nu-i ușor să-i descâlcești vorbele. Cea de aici are o vârstă venerabilă, e din secolul 15 și e solitară. De obicei, ele se prezentau într-un grup de douăsprezece, nu întâmplător în perfectă simetrie cu cei doisprezece apostoli. Aceste personaje, precum și oracolele din cărțile sibilinice, au fost integrate în iconografia creștină.

Gardons à l’esprit la puissance des arbres… 🦉 — JEREMIKARUS

Toujours garder en tête la puissance d’un arbre. L’idée que «ça n’est pas une question de taille» semble assez bien répandue 😊😅. Il est ici encore intéressant de le rappeler. Petits ou grands, il suffit d’observer les arbres en se promenant dans la forêt pour ressentir quelque chose d’important. En marchant, nous passons alors un[…]
