  • July 3, 2018 - Palestinian demonstrators are injured during a protest, joined by many Palestinian women, on the Gaza-Israeli border, east of Gaza City.  Many Palestinian women attended the demonstration, arriving in buses from across the Gaza, and some suffered injuries from tear gas and Israeli gunfire. Since the 30th of March Palestinians in Gaza have been demonstrating for the Great March of Return in support of their right to return to the lands they fled or were driven from during the 1948 war against the newly created Israel. They are also protesting against the eleven years-long blockade on the Palestinian enclave, which is causing a humanitarian crisis (Credit Image: © Ahmad Hasaballah/IMAGESLIVE via ZUMA Wire)

  • May 1, 2019 - Jalal Aslan, 71, manufacture with his sons traditional handmade and coloured tiles in his workshop in the West Bank city of Nablus.  The Aslan factory in Nablus remains the only one that practice the skill of producing traditional Palestinian tiles in the West Bank. Jalal has been working in the manufacturing of handmade and coloured tiles (Shami tiles) for nearly 50 years practising a traditional craft passed through his family generations and believed to have originated in the Levant. The Aslan family used to own a small tile factory in Jaffa, but after the 1948 war they began working in Nablus, since the family was of Nabulsi origin and they also owned another factory in the city. Each Shami tile is carefully crafted and can be considered a piece of art in itself as well as a fragment of Palestinian heritage (Credit Image: © Mohammed Turabi/IMAGESLIVE via ZUMA Wire)

Located 100 km from Krakow near the confluence of the Wisła and Dunajec rivers, Zalipie is a peaceful agricultural village, very unique because of colorful flower paintings all over the walls of wooden houses, fences, wells, which makes you feel like in a fairy tale. Since the late 19th century, the women of Zalipie have been painting their homes inside and out with bright, floral patterns. The custom developed in the days before chimneys when the smoke from the cottage hearths would slowly blacken the interior walls. To prepare the home for important religious holidays, the proud wives of the village would repaint the walls with white lime. By the time progress and its new fan-dangled ‘chimneys’ arrived in Zalipie the tradition had not only stuck, but, with the aid of coloured paints, it had evolved into a unique art form that saw the village cottages adorned inside and out in extraordinary floral folk motifs. By the 1930s, the village had made a bit of a name for itself and in 1948, the first competition to select the most beautifully decorated cottage was held—a tradition that continues annually to this day on the weekend after Corpus Christi.

  • NO WEB/NO APPS - A cottage in the painted village of Zalipie, Poland on September 2, 2017. Located 100 km from Krakow near the confluence of the Wisła and Dunajec rivers, Zalipie is a peaceful agricultural village, very unique because of colorful flower paintings all over the walls of wooden houses, fences, wells, which makes you feel like in a fairy tale. Since the late 19th century, the women of Zalipie have been painting their homes inside and out with bright, floral patterns. The custom developed in the days before chimneys when the smoke from the cottage hearths would slowly blacken the interior walls. To prepare the home for important religious holidays, the proud wives of the village would repaint the walls with white lime. By the time progress and its new fan-dangled ‘chimneys’ arrived in Zalipie the tradition had not only stuck, but, with the aid of coloured paints, it had evolved into a unique art form that saw the village cottages adorned inside and out in extraordinary floral folk motifs. By the 1930s, the village had made a bit of a name for itself and in 1948, the first competition to select the most beautifully decorated cottage was held—a tradition that continues annually to this day on the weekend after Corpus Christi.

  • NO WEB/NO APPS - A cottage in the painted village of Zalipie, Poland on September 2, 2017. Located 100 km from Krakow near the confluence of the Wisła and Dunajec rivers, Zalipie is a peaceful agricultural village, very unique because of colorful flower paintings all over the walls of wooden houses, fences, wells, which makes you feel like in a fairy tale. Since the late 19th century, the women of Zalipie have been painting their homes inside and out with bright, floral patterns. The custom developed in the days before chimneys when the smoke from the cottage hearths would slowly blacken the interior walls. To prepare the home for important religious holidays, the proud wives of the village would repaint the walls with white lime. By the time progress and its new fan-dangled ‘chimneys’ arrived in Zalipie the tradition had not only stuck, but, with the aid of coloured paints, it had evolved into a unique art form that saw the village cottages adorned inside and out in extraordinary floral folk motifs. By the 1930s, the village had made a bit of a name for itself and in 1948, the first competition to select the most beautifully decorated cottage was held—a tradition that continues annually to this day on the weekend after Corpus Christi.

  • A supermoon rises up from behind the Eden Roc palace hotel in Cap DíAntibes, southern France, on November 14, 2016. The most spectacular supermoon since 1948 lights up the sky on Tuesday morning and evening, appearing 14 per cent bigger and 30 percent brighter than usual. November's supermoon, a term used to describe a full moon is at its perigee or closest point to Earth during the lunar orbit, will be the biggest and brightest supermoon to rise in almost 69 years. A full moon won't come this close to Earth again until November 25, 2034. Photo by Philippe Farjon/ABACAPRESS.COM
