CIRCUS IN COUNTRY

I really enjoyed these pictures taken by my husband in a Circus that set up camp in Paranapanema, a city near our house. I published those pictures in my other blog, so I think some of you have seen this photos before, but as I've had little time lately to post, I thought it would be interesting to post them here, it's worth seeing again.

Gostei muito das fotos tiradas pelo meu marido de um circo que acampou em Paranapanema, uma cidade próxima da nossa casa. Como já publiquei estas fotos no meu outro blog, penso que alguns de vocês já as viram antes, mas como eu estou tendo pouco tempo ultimamente para postar, achei que vale a pena vê-las de novo.

CUMULONIMBUS

Photos taken by myself from my garden last Sunday.

Cumulonimbus is a type of cloud that is tall, dense, and involved in thunderstorms and other intense weather. It is a result of atmospheric instability. These clouds can form alone, in clusters, or along a cold front in a squall line. They create lightning through the heart of the cloud. Cumulonimbus clouds form from cumulus clouds (namely from cumulus congestus) and can further develop into a supercell, a severe thunderstorm with special features.

Os Cumulonimbus são nuvens que se desenvolvem verticalmente até grandes altitudes, podendo chegar a mais de 15 mil metros. Têm a forma de montanhas, torres ou gigantescas couve-flores e são formadas por gotas d’água, cristais de gelo, gotas superesfriadas, flocos de neve e granizo. Há, em seu interior, violentas correntes de vento, ascendentes e descendentes. Todos os pilotos as temem e respeitam.

MOTHER, BY DAVID HOCKNEY

Mother I, Yorkshire Moors, August 1985 - Photographic collage

David Hockney's mother, Laura, was born in Bradford in 1900. She was an inspiration for his art and was the subject of many of his portraits throughout her life until she died in 1999 aged 98.

WHAT IS THAT? - O QUE É AQUILO?

As the subject old age and aging is very touching to me, I was very moved when I watched the film "What is that?" created by Constantin Pilavios. Perhaps some of you have seen it already. For those who not seen it yet, it is worth to see. Como o tema velhice e envelhecimento me sensibiliza muito, fiquei emocionada ao assistir o filme "O Que é Aquilo", criado por Constantin Pilavios. Talvez alguns de vocês já o tenha visto, mas se não viram, vale a pena ver.
