The delta...the realm of water, meed and cattail...an unique landscape in Europe. A place notorious for it's many species of trees, plants, reptiles, birds, insects, fish. A place that can not be described in words. I invite you to visit it, to discover it's beauty, but be aware...it's a fragile place !We hope we can bring more delta images for you as soon as posible
Tyrannosaurus Rex, Sabre-tooth Tiger, Dodo Bird, Mammoth.
You all know them from movies and especially cartoons. But what are they... fiction or reality....Well, a ten year old child will tell you they are definitly reality. A reality from the past, though. They were extinct either milions of years ago, either centuries ago. They were victim of climate changes, natural disasters and in some cases ..human being. These are not the only examples.
Our Earth was twice wiped out of most of plant and animal breeds during the eons. Some say that is a process that, finally, but not last, brought to the evolution of human beings.
Did you know that, today, 22 per cent of plant species are obolescent. The major cause of this event is...man, directly or indirectly.
Also called mums or chrysanths.
In some country, they symbolize death and are used only at funerals, whereas , in other countries, they represent honesty and are usually regarded as positive and cheerful.
I consider them to be the symbol of autumn...
Gifted with such powerful colours, and having the strength to bear low temperature they are one of my favourite flowers. Don't you love the white ones..?!
The blue colour of the sky gives me a feeling of safety and peace. It's the perfect colour...it just feels right. Not the same thing I can say when I see the sunset. As beautiful as it is most of the times, it gives me a bad feeling, and I instantly think of dust, blood, war... But did you know that some 2,5 million years ago, our sky had only orange shades? Which one do you prefer?
Have you ever heard about the tree called Sequoia Gigantea? Also known as Sequoiadendron giganteum, Wellingtonia Gigantea or Giant Sequoia, it's the largest tree in the world, in terms of volume. They can reach an average height of 50-85 metres and 6-8 metres in diameter. In our country this tree is declared natural monument and it's protected by law.
Did you know that there are only two regions in our country where you can see this giant tree? This picture shows one of the few representatives of this species, from our country.
The ocean level is rising, and together with it the level of our sea. Not many people know, but we have a big problem. The water is eroding our cliffs, both beaches and coasts. In little words..we are losing land. These two factors, combined, will determine this old lighthouse to disappear by degrees... together with it's beauty.
There is only one place in our country where you can see these sweet creatures in their environment and even in little testudo farms. It's a place where you can also find horned vipers, wild lilac and scorpions. If you don't know where this place is, you better find out, visit it and be amazed by what it can offer to your eyesight.
When I look at this picture I find myself in a fairytale. I don't really know why...it could be the warm colours that remind me of the cartoons from my childhood, or the mist from far away that buries a place of civilization...a place where the passing time...the cold, soulless time... taught us to forget how to dream...
When I was very young I often made little ships out of paper and when it rained I used to put them on the water and see how they were flushed away by the sweeping little waves from our courtyard. After the rain I could see them run aground in some puddle of mud...but no worry..the next rain was soon to come. It used to rain a lot those days and so my happiness grew. It took me more than a decade to see my first big and real ship..and there she blows...
Have you ever went on a trip to the mountain, have you ever made a fire so big it seemed the scintillas almost reached the sky so closed to your head..? Have you ever fallen asleep searching for your star and awaken to the noise of a hungry bear....well...if not...you missed out on a great amusement...
It takes thousands of years for them, the hasty rivers, to create their own way. Nothing can stand between them and their purpose, either the power of rocks nor the massiveness of the mountains. And their purpose is, from the beginning of time, to waste into the immensity of water.
Not all of them get to reach their goal, but most of them manage to give us views that make us feel so insignificant.
