Blue hour

Landscapes at Blue Hour

The blue hour is the period between day and night, when the sky is filled with a darker blue than daytime blue due to “Rayleigh scattering”.
The blue hour in Bruges (Belgium)
Bergen, Norway

Summer is a good time to take advantage of the blue time. This waiting time when day passes into night and the sky takes on a particular tone that allows you to see the shadows invading the Earth…

Prague, Czech Republic
Tokyo station at the blue hour, Japan
Las Vegas, United States of America
It is in the first moments of the “blue hour” that the birds start to sing.
Boston, Massachusetts, United States of America
Venice, Italy

It’s the time of the “blue hour” that I prefer, when everything becomes prettier, smoother and brighter. It’s like a dream veil…

Haarlem, Netherlands
Hallstatt – Austria
Blue Hour at Marina Bay Sands, Singapore

The sun is setting, but night has not yet fallen…
It’s like time is suspended, in complete harmony with the World and the light…

Rome, Italy
Pont Megyeri, Budapest, Hungary

With the tops of the mountains touching the sky in this enigmatic blue hour, all things get confused and the time seems to have gone wrong, being enveloped in a scenario of perfect tones announcing the darkness to come…

Ho-Chi-Minh, Vietnam
Blue Hour in Mithimna Molivos, Greece
Blue Time at Paris, France

In the morning, the blue hour precedes dawn and at night, twilight follows, marked by its pink tones.
For photographers, this is a moment of unique magic!!!

Berlin, Germany
Chateau Frontenac, Quebec, Canada

The blue hour is the time of day when the sky glows dark, a deep blue, almost electric.
It happens twice a day: in the morning before sunrise and in the afternoon after the sun goes down.

Budapest, Hungary
Blue Time on the London Eye, United Kingdom
La Malbaie, Quebec, Canada
The blue time in Summer is the best time to feel the scents of flowers!!!
Pont Couverts, Strasbourg
The blue hour in the passage from day to night is a very short transitional moment, but very beautiful.
It’s like a state of grace.

Beautiful story – amazing

An amazing story

The famous Italian diver, Enzo Majorca, swam in the warm waters of the Siracusa sea and chatted with his daughter Rossana, who had stayed on the boat.

Ready to submerge, he felt something tap lightly on his back. He turned and saw a dolphin. He realized then that he didn’t want to play, but to express something.

The animal dove and Enzo followed.

About 12 meters deep, trapped in an abandoned net, was another dolphin.

Majorca quickly asked her daughter to pick up her diving knives. In a few minutes the two managed to free the dolphin, which, at the limit of its strength, managed to emerge, emitting an “almost human scream” (so described Majorca).

A dolphin can only resist underwater for up to 10 minutes, then it drowns.

The freed dolphin, still stunned, was controlled by Enzo, Rossana and the other dolphin.

Then came the surprise: It was a dauphin, which soon gave birth to a baby.

The male circled them and, stopping in front of Enzo, touched his cheek (as if it were a kiss), in a gesture of gratitude… And they walked away.

Enzo Mallorca ended his speech saying: “Until man learns to respect and dialogue with the animal world, he will never be able to know his true role on this Earth.”

A second chance: Rivals!

It is the time for Tokyo 2020 Olympics and one of my favourite categories is Women gymnastics and this movie appeared while I was searching for a movie to watch in NETFLIX… And so the Women Gymnastics theme came up and I went for it!

OK, it is a movie that needed a bit more performances from its characters, but still it is good to watch…

But next time, do it with a little more heart and depth!

Benefits of Bay Leaves

Can You Eat Bay Leaves?

Just a reminder, which is not mentioned here – the central vein must be removed from the bay leaves because it is toxic.

Besides, it’s like snake oil, it cures everything!

😀

Many people add bay leaves to foods, especially red meat and poultry.

Don’t you know why bay leaves are added to food?

If you ask a woman, she will answer: “To flavor the food.”

However, if you boil the bay leaves and taste them after placing them in a glass of water, they will have no taste.

So why do you put bay leaves on meat?

Adding bay leaves to meat converts triglycerides into monounsaturated fats. To try and confirm, cut a chicken in half, cook each half in a pan, put a bay leaf in just one of the halves, and note the amount of fat in both pans.

Recent scientific studies have shown that bay leaves have many benefits.

They help prevent many serious problems and illnesses.

Bay Leaf Benefits:

1 – Treats digestive disorders and helps to eliminate lumps;

2 – Prevents heartburn;

3 – Fights acidity;

4 – Treats constipation;

5 – Drinking hot bay tea regulates bowel movement;

6 – Reduces blood sugar and is also an antioxidant;

7 – Allows the body to produce insulin by eating the leaf, or drinking bay tea for a month;

8 – Eliminates bad cholesterol and relieves the body of triglycerides;

9 – Very useful in the treatment of flu, colds and severe cough, as it is a rich source of vitamin “C”. You can boil the leaves and do steam inhalation, to get rid of the phlegm and reduce the severity of the cough;

10 – The bay leaf protects the heart from convulsions and strokes, as it contains compounds for cardiovascular protection;

11 – Rich in acids such as caffeic acid, quercetin, eigonol and bartholinide, substances that prevent the formation of cancer cells in the body;

12 – Eliminates insomnia and anxiety; if taken before bed, it helps to relax and have a peaceful sleep;

13 – Drinking a cup of cooked bay leaves twice a day breaks kidney stones and cures infections.

This information requires you to search and validate it… Most of it it is old homemade medicine, so don’t forget to give it a research!

Hydrogen peroxide

A benefit we are not always aware of.

Hydrogen peroxide

Do you find hydrogen peroxide not very useful?
Well then, surprise yourself!

Invention purpose:

  • Cheap
  • Easy Transport
  • Easy Storage
  • Easy to use
  • No Side Effects

In a 3% solution, it is one of the most powerful disinfectants out there.
Why is it so little publicized?
No profit!

Why is it not publicized?

Competition with products developed by pharmaceuticals and domestic and hospital disinfectant industries.

  • Cheap
  • Simple to use
  • Easy storage
  • Can be used for many purposes.

The domestic effectiveness of hydrogen peroxide.

1. A dessert spoon of the product used for mouthwash and kept in the mouth for a few minutes, kills all oral germs, whitening the teeth! Spit after mouthwash.
2. Keeping toothbrushes in a hydrogen peroxide solution keeps the toothbrushes free of germs that cause gingivitis and other oral problems.
3. A little hydrogen peroxide on a cloth disinfects surfaces better than any other product. Excellent for use in kitchens and bathrooms.
4. Meat boards and other utensils are completely disinfected after use with a little hydrogen peroxide. The product kills any bacteria or germs, including salmonella.
5. Used with feet at night prevents chilblains and other fungi that cause major foot problems, including bad odors (foot odor).
6. Used it on wounds (several times a day) prevents infections and helps with healing. Even cases of gangrene have regressed with its use.
7. In a half-and-half mixture with plain water, it can be dripped into the nose in colds and sinuses. Wait a few moments and blow your nose. This kills germs and other harmful microorganisms.
8. A little hydrogen peroxide in the bath water fights mycoses and other fungus and helps to keep the skin healthy.
9. Clothes that need disinfection (sheets, diapers, etc.) or those in contact with bodily secretions and blood, can be completely disinfected if soaked in a solution containing hydrogen peroxide before normal washing.
10. You will certainly find other ways to use hydrogen peroxide in your home.
