<p>The capital of the Republic of Cyprus is also its cultural heartbeat.<br />
<br />
Nicosia is the capital and largest city on the island of Cyprus, as well as its main business centre.<br />
<br />
The walled city of Nicosia is a compact, atmospheric square kilometer enclosed by massive 16th-century Venetian bastions.<br />
<br />
 It is a place of charming contrasts, where bustling pedestrian shopping avenues and vibrant, cafe-lined squares sit just steps away from quiet, centuries-old residential lanes.<br />
<br />
Architecturally, the historic core is a living museum, blending imposing sandstone fortifications with Byzantine churches, neoclassical schools, and traditional 19th-century stone houses featuring hidden inner courtyards. Beautifully revitalized, the area seamlessly mixes its rich medieval heritage with a modern, bohemian energy, serving as a lively hub for local artists, independent cafes, and cultural life.<br />
<br />
There is one thing the photograph must contain, the humanity of the moment.<br />
<br />
We are making photographs to understand what our lives mean to us.<br />
<br />
The best thing about a picture is that it never changes, even when the people in it do.<br />
<br />
The camera is an instrument that teaches people how to see without a camera.<br />
<br />
I really believe there are things nobody would see if I didn’t photograph them.</p>

<p> Geldingadalsgos Volcano Site .South Iceland 2021 .Over 5 years passed already one of the most beautiful trips i have done .(where the time goes ?) After months the Authorities in Iceland had  declared the country’s longest volcanic eruption in 50 years over. The spectacle drew hundreds of thousands of tourists  despite Covid restrictions  to witness its lava flows. This eruption, the sixth in Iceland in the past 20 years, became the longest recorded in half a century as it spewed lava for six months.<br />
Just after claiming that record on 18 September, the lava stopped emerging – but only after more than 140m cubic metres of magma had spilled into the valleys of Geldingadalur. Also the intense heat from the molten lava field creates a significant amount of distortion in the air. I still wonder which is the most beautiful moment of the journey, the preparation and the waiting, the moment of the journey or the memory of it when it is over .  A big thank you to everyone who took time to comment and take a look at my photo. Much appreciated!</p>

<p>Trust in the Lord and do good;<br />
    dwell in the land and enjoy safe pasture.<br />
Take delight in the Lord,<br />
    and he will give you the desires of your heart.<br />
<br />
[Psalm 37:3-4 NIV]<br />

5 MORE THINGS YOU SHOULD KNOW:<br />
<br />
1. Like it or not, we are ALL sinners: As the Scriptures say, “No one is righteous—not even one. No one is truly wise; no one is seeking God. All have turned away; all have become useless. No one does good, not a single one.” (Romans 3:10-12 NLT)<br />
<br />
2. The punishment for sin is death: When Adam sinned, sin entered the world. Adam’s sin brought death, so death spread to everyone, for everyone sinned. (Romans 5:12 NLT)<br />
<br />
3. Jesus is our only hope: But God showed his great love for us by sending Christ to die for us while we were still sinners. (Romans 5:8 NLT) For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life through Christ Jesus our Lord. (Romans 6:23 NLT)<br />
<br />
4. SALVATION is by GRACE through FAITH in JESUS: God saved you by his grace when you believed. And you can’t take credit for this; it is a gift from God. Salvation is not a reward for the good things we have done, so none of us can boast about it. For we are God’s masterpiece. He has created us anew in Christ Jesus, so we can do the good things he planned for us long ago. (Ephesians 2:8-10 NLT)<br />
<br />
5. Accept Jesus and receive eternal life: If you openly declare that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. (Romans 10:9 NLT) But to all who believed him and accepted him, he gave the right to become children of God. (John 1:12 NLT) And this is what God has testified: He has given us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. Whoever has the Son has life; whoever does not have God’s Son does not have life. (1 John 5:11-12 NLT)<br />
<br />
Read the Bible for yourself. Allow the Lord to speak to you through his Word. YOUR ETERNITY IS AT STAKE!</p>

<p>The Reykjanes Peninsula is the southwesternmost part of Iceland, extending from Reykjavík to the Atlantic Ocean. It is part of the Mid-Atlantic Ridge, where the North American and Eurasian tectonic plates meet, making it one of the country's most geologically active regions. The peninsula is characterized by lava fields, volcanic craters, geothermal areas, fissure swarms, hot springs, and coastal cliffs.<br />
<br />
Reykjanes has experienced volcanic activity throughout recorded history. After approximately 800 years of relative inactivity, a new eruption cycle began in 2021 on the Reykjanes volcanic system, followed by additional eruptions on the Fagradalsfjall and Sundhnúkur volcanic systems in subsequent years. These eruptions have significantly altered parts of the peninsula and affected nearby infrastructure, including the town of Grindavík.<br />
<br />
Historically, the peninsula has been important for fishing, geothermal energy, and transportation. It is home to Keflavík International Airport, Iceland's main international airport, as well as major geothermal power stations including Svartsengi Power Station and Reykjanes Power Station. The peninsula also contains the Reykjanes UNESCO Global Geopark, recognized for its geological significance.</p>
