THE REVOLUTIONARY LEGEND


Ethiopia is a wonderful place, I always wanted to go there. And finally, my circus let me.
We went there, and every day we were visiting a different place. But what surprised us most, is that everywhere there was a legendary doll. This doll is made of stone. Or so it seems. Here, people of Etipia says they are not just stones.

Legend related that the stone is actually tears of Ethiopian revolutionaries who fought for this land, a magical place.

We wanted to check the words, so we went to the right place for this. Abyssinia's library is a library that saves all the original manuscripts of the legends of the country.

We went there and ...

"The revolutionary legend tells the story of a group of young people struggling with their lives every day to free their country from the devil. The doll puts his hands to his mouth, as if unwilling to speak. This gesture represents the denial of free of expression. ironically because they demanded that freedom. "


She made ​​us touch the stone. And, ladies and gentlemen, the stone was wet.

Colombia’s valley of the palms

In Colombias cocora valley palms are very thin and very high. They can reach 60 m of height. It is a beautiful place that attracts you just get there. On this site, there are only three buildings: one is a restaurant.

At 1,800 m in elevation, low clouds often fill the valley like a lid, the palms scratching their wispy underbellies. Then periods of sunlight inevitably continue, giving the valley to tropical radiance. Even in the afternoon sun though, a short walk can easily lead you into perennial mist forest and over the trickle of a mountain stream.

11 Km from there, there is a town called Salento.

When you reach a fork in the path, follow it to the right for a kilometre to Acaime book (57-2-893-3052), a nature reserve with a rustic wooden hikers' sanctuary serving cheese, chocolate and brown sugar, hot water heart-warming drink made from hardened sugar cane.

Art experts find possible Leonardo Da Vinci fresco.

I was interested when I read this news....
The truth is that the first thing that I thought was: 

How can a person be able to paint over a masterpiece?
Or without being a masterpiece.....
How can someone paint over the work of another person?
I understand that were other times, and of course performers hadn't enough material to paint their works.
But I think that there is an unbreakable and essencial rule to all this:
Do not destroy the work of another person.

And now, we have got two masterpieces in one:
Giorgio Vasari and Leonardo da Vinci.Two italian Renaissance artists that revolutionized the culture:

Vasari is considered creator of the ideological foundation of the art-historical writing.
Da Vinci, one of the greatest painters of all tine and perhaps the most diversely talented person ever to have lived. A genius.
