  • 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.

  • South Africa - Plettenberg Bay - 9 June 2020 - The Salt River hike is in Nature's Valley, which is 30 kilometres east of Plettenberg Bay. According to the Cape Hike website "This is a gorgeous, short walk taking in beautiful views of Nature’s Valley: the dunes and coastal vegetation, the Salt River Estuary, rocky Garden Route coastline and beautiful sandy beach." According to Wikipedia "In 2000 researchers from the Albany Museum in Grahamstown discovered a number of aquatic insect species new to science in the Salt River, which lies at the western end of Nature's Valley. The isolated position of the river, a lack of fish and its acidic and unpolluted water are thought to have been factors in ensuring the undisturbed survival of these primitive forms. New housing developments within the catchment area of the Salt River may threaten the continued existence of these unique insects." Picture: David Ritchie/African News Agency(ANA)
