Ao erguermos a vista, não vemos fronteiras.

Reach the sky

Aim for the stars and maybe
you'll reach the sky

Watching...

Vale Glaciar do Zêzere - Manteigas - Serra da Estrela

... clouds roll by
on a sunny day

Listenning to the water stream

going down the mountain

Smelling the fresh green grass
Who needs church?
Nature is divine.

Spring...

...  is when you feel like whistling even with a shoe full of slush. :)

Baphuon

Baphuon - Angkor - Cambodia

The Baphuon is a temple at Angkor, Cambodia. It is located in Angkor Thom, northwest of the Bayon. Built in the mid-11th century, it is a three-tiered temple mountain built as the state temple of Udayadityavarman II dedicated to the Hindu God Shiva but in the late 15th century, the Baphuon was converted to a Buddhist temple. The temple was built on land filled with sand, and due to its immense size the site was unstable throughout its history.

By the 20th century, much of the temple had largely collapsed, and restoration efforts have since proven problematic: a first effort begun in 1960 was interrupted by the coming to power of the Khmer Rouge, and records of the positions of the stones were lost. A second attempt started in 1995 by a team of French-led archeologists as of 2005 was still ongoing, restricting visitor access. As of November 2010, partial visitor access was once again allowed, though not to the central structure.

In April 2011, after 51 years, the archaeologists finished the restoration of the temple which was inaugurated on July 3, 2011.

Nature ..

Poço do Inferno - Serra da Estrela - Portugal

Nature is like a mutable waterfall, 
which is always and never the same.

Colors of the rainbow

 

 

“Sometimes it's important to work for that pot of gold. But other times it's essential to take time off and to make sure that your most important decision in the day simply consists of choosing which color to slide down on the rainbow.”
