“It breaks my heart,” said Tanikawa. “Because, as Black-indigenous-people of color, we can’t be fighting against each other.

Pećina Orlovača, Pale, Republika Srpska / BiH – Orlovača Cave, Pale, Republika Srpska / BiH

Orlovaca Cave, Pale, Republika Srpska

Myrela

Pećina Orlovača je jedina turistička pećina Republike Srpske. Nalazi se u mjestu Sumbulovac, udaljena od magistralnog puta Sarajevo-Sokolac 900 metara. Pećina je odavno poznata u biospeleološkoj literaturi. Viktor Afelbek, kustos Entomološkog odjeljenja Zemaljskog muzeja u Sarajevu, još je početkom dvadesetog vijeka u uskom kanalu (“Ulaz prvih istraživača”) pronašao pećinskog insekta kojeg je determinisao poznati koleopterolog Edmund Rajter 1913. godine i dao mu naziv Orlovacensis, po lokaciji na kojoj je pronađen. Podzemni kanali pećine, kakvu sada poznajemo, otkriveni su 1975. godine. Na poziv Save Minića (po kome je pećina jedno vrijeme i nosila ime), speleolozi SD “Zelena brda” iz Trebinja i smučarsko-planinarskog društva “Jahorina”, Miroslav i Božidar Kurtović, Momčilo Piljević i Muhamed Hadžiabdić, propuzali su kroz 206 metara dugačak, uzak kanal koji se sada naziva “Ulaz prvih istraživača”, i ušli u, do tada, nepoznate dijelove pećine. Narednih godina istraženo je oko 2.500 metara podzemnih kanala.

Pećina Orlovača je svojim kanalima…

Strahlefarbe Rot

Skizzenbuch/Blog

Leuchtend rote Rhododendronblüten – als Zeichnung welken sie nie.

Die Strahlefarbe Rot ist immer ein Highlight. Sie ist warm, sie ist aktiv, sie ist voller Kraft und stets ein Blickfang. Der Vorteil dieses leuchtenden Eyecatchers ist der Umstand, dass sie auf keinen Fall übersehen wird.
Sei es eine flammende Pfingstrosenblüte, eine edel changierende Murano-Vase, ein hinreißendes Kleid, das keinen Kerzenschein mehr braucht, ein schwedisches Sommerhäuschen im Garten oder ein paar pralle Kirschen auf weißem Teller.

Y es que el arte, parece, es eso

…Y es que el arte es el lenguaje de Dios, su oficio, su esencia y su forma, la expresión magistral y sublime de su creación. Es un artista que crea. Es, parece, la primera flor que cultivó, alguna vez, en los jardines de un paraíso infinito. Siempre elige a algunos hombres y mujeres con la intención de que recorran el mundo y regalen flores transformadas en letras, poemas, matices, formas, notas, y, así, recordarles a las almas que forman parte de la más hermosa y magistral de sus obras… Creo, por lo mismo, que no solamente se trata de sembrar flores que decoren espacios fugazmente. Es importante enriquecer la tierra, removerla, depositar las semillas con amor y cuidado, proporcionar el agua y los nutrientes indispensables, multiplicar para bien, y, una vez que las plantas brotan y las flores expresan…
