And so, it’s Saturday night. Again. Sometimes, it feels like, after turning 40, the weeks fly by as quickly as days did when I was 20.
Time flows, and we pass along with it.
That’s why I love living each day with enthusiasm, positivity, and an open heart. And even though it’s still Saturday night here, this image from just a few hours ago is perfect to wish everyone a wonderful #SilentSunday
(look at the alt text for a deeper idea I had when taking this photo)

A huge Maya city named Valeriana was discovered in Mexico using Lidar technology. The city, hidden under jungle canopy, had pyramids, sports fields, and causeways, and was home to 30-50,000 people from 750 to 850 AD. The discovery challenges the idea that the Tropics were inhospitable to advanced civilizations.

It's #SilentSunday, but this photo was taken yesterday evening. #Ferrara was hosting one of its evening concerts, so music was in the air. Yet, from this photo, peace and tranquility shine through, depicting a typical evening in an ancient #Italian city.

The ancient windows, in perfect line they stand,
In perspective they guide us to their lord's old land,
Towards his castle, where on the ancient balcony he would stand,
With his cherished love, gazing from the paned window hand in hand.#Photography #Photo #Ferrara #Italy #AncientCities #AncientWindows #WindowFriday #Windows #FensterFreitag

When evening comes and sun descends,
city sounds become muffled, soft and dense.
Orange then red, like an explosion of hues,
and then, silence, its calmness ensues.#Photography #Photo #Italy #Ferrara #Sunset #Spring #SilentSunday #Silence #Colours #Colors #Red #Orange #Calm #Relax #AncientCities
