Pray the emptiness

(…)

The emptiness brought on by a fear we didn’t know about and which now seems to be a tenant of our soul.

The emptiness of confined spaces.

The emptiness of life, suddenly suspended.

The emptiness of the hours that whoever is alone counts differently.

The emptiness of the uncertainties that pile up and which we have not yet talked about.

The emptiness of the eyes of those we see suffering and the emptiness of the many who suffer without us seeing it.

The emptiness of caregivers at the end of strenuous shifts.

The emptiness of those who had to remain exposed, day by day, so that others could be safe.

The emptiness of everything that, from one moment to another, was postponed.

The emptiness of that old woman who spends the day with her face pressed against the window.

The emptiness of the streets gives us a silence that is not a silence, but a kind of eviction from everyday life.

The emptiness of meetings and conversations.

The emptiness that friends sense.

The emptiness of laughter.

The emptiness of all HUGS not given.

You will see something fantastic

Looks like a Teletubbie?
It looks like a man’s face. We can clearly see the eyes, nose, mouth and beard …
Does this seem to you a prehistoric giant?
Iceberg … looks like a horse trying to get out of the water – Awesome!
Did anyone have the ability to carve this by hand? FANTASTIC.
Cat … Amazing!
Crab Island!
Astronomical … the face is clearly visible. That seems like a person thinking…
Looks like a woman reclined, with one leg bent…
Another woman reclined, looking at the sea?
Hmmm, how strange! – Is it an Alien or something?
Is it true that it looks like a human face?
  • This is one of the precious photographs that any tourist can take, on a bright day, of the Inca ruins of Machu Picchu, in Peru.

Yes. However, the effect is surprising if we rotate the photo 90º.
The striking resemblance of the mountain mass to a gigantic human face, adorned with Indian costumes; its formation was hardly made with human hands.
Then, in the publication of this photo, the members of the international scientific community concluded the theory about its origin from an alleged extraterrestrial civilization.
A human face
The resemblance between this island and a puzzle piece is tremendous.
Is the great similarity between the photo and a dolphin casual?
It’s curious, isn’t it?
In 1986, on the island of Faial in the Azores, a gigantic storm occurred. In Horta Bay (mythical port), waves of 15 to 20 meters reached the coast. A photographer takes a series of photos to immortalize them. Two years later he realized that he photographed Neptune’s face. The photo cross the World (the cliff on the image is about 70 meters high).
How about this elephant?
And these rocks praying to heaven.
Beware for the crocodile!!!!!
A fish coming out of the sea.
A camel leaning on the Grand Canyon, Colorado.
A giant hare drinking sea water.

It was worth seeing … Wasnt’ it?

Caño Cristales, a river that fled from Paradise

Caño Cristales is a river called “the most beautiful in the World”. It was even called “the river that escaped from Paradise”!
It is located in the Sierra de la Macarena, in the National Park and municipality of the same name, in the departments of Meta, Colombia.
It is a short river, only 100km, and with a 20m wide channel, hence, according to the traditional language of the region, it is called a pipe.
The river also called the 5 colors, take this pigmentation because the stones are covered with moss and algae.
Yellow, blue, green, black and red, are five scandalous (vibrant) colors, which are explained by the presence of algae of different colors that make this canyon a visual wonder.
The color red is due to a plant called Macarenia clavigera.
When the water level reaches the sweet spot, the moss and the algae bloom with bright colors, giving its character to the river.
The rocks over which the river speaks, generate small circular pools called giant pans, which have been caused by the impact of some harder material.
When deposits of material are produced or the rock lasts within a slight concavity, the turbulence of the water creates a swirl…
…that makes it spin together with this hard material in suspension, producing strong abrasion and even digging puddles.
The best time of year to visit the rivers is during the Summer from June to November, as the colors turn out to be the most intense, as a result of the rains.
