I have been visiting once upon a time, the little natural reserve of “Ripa Bianca”, just a few kilometres from home, on May, the 25th. It is a very  little area, sponsored by Italian WWF , bordering the river: actually an ideal spot for bird watching.
And I was trilled by watching, just befor sunset, a magnificent couple of herons flying slow and steady: a mother heron with its baby.

fail faith

Posted on April 13, 2008 @ 1:55 pm by massimo | Filed under: another green world, blog, news, people, wordpress

Buddhist teaching is clear and logical: that we can neither define, describe, nor usefully discuss the nature of that which is beyond the perception of our consciousness. According to the teaching the ideas of eternal self or eternity in nature may be described indirectly by analogy and symbols. Otherwise it must ever remain in its truest sense unknown and unexpressed, as being to us in our present state unknowable.The concept of maya play a major role in Buddhism. Maya is the belief that everything, which one sees in this world is illusion, a product of the individual’s own failed interpretation and self-delusion.Buddhism has always set itself against illusions: the illusion of permanence and the illusion that it is possible to live in the world and avoid the suffering. What if one follows this disillusionment to the end, allowing it to concern his beliefs on Buddhism itself?

tibet riots aynaku illustration travel

In 1959 China annexed theocratic and remote Tibet.
The Dalai Lama,winner of the 1989 Nobel Peace Prize, fled to India amid the 1959 rebellion and he is routinely vilified by the Chinese Government.
In recent decades, China has methodically begun exploiting the region’s timber and mineral wealth; Beijing continues to rule the small Himalayan state with a heavy hand, enforcing strict controls on religious institutions.
Since March 14, 2008 protests led by Buddhist monks against Chinese rule in Tibet are turning violent, with shops and vehicles torched and gunshots echoing through the streets of the ancient capital, Lhasa.

Manali, at the northern end of the Kullu Valley in Himachal Pradesh, is a hill station situated at a height of 2050 m in the Himalayas. It is a very popular and crowded tourist spot for Indians and foreigners in summer and in winter: actually too crowded according to my standards.

african plains

I come from a hilly region and I’m not used to open prairies and plains.
This is the reason why, I can’t forget Amboseli National Park’s breathtaking views, one of the most classic of Kenya: the gigantic Kilimanjaro mountain, with its 5,985 meters dominating the plains.
Noteworthy Kilimanjaro is not within the limits …

animal rights

Posted on November 24, 2007 @ 11:21 pm by massimo | Filed under: animals, another green world, blog, travel, wordpress

I always hated the zoo. Simply I try to figure the way an animal feels behind the bars of a cage, or what it might prefer to do instead. I like to think that every living creature was born to be somehow free, so set them free…
The cute, black, little monkey …
