Waikiki Beach Honolulu.

The area was a retreat for Hawaiian royalty in the 1800s who enjoyed surfing there on early forms of longboards.[5] A few small hotels opened in the 1880s. In 1893, Greek-American George Lycurgus leased the guest house of Allen Herbert and renamed it the "Sans Souci" (French for "without worries") creating one of the first beach resorts. Later that year Robert Louis Stevenson stayed at the resort; subsequently it became a popular destination for tourists from the mainland.

Taormina has been a very popular tourist destination since the 19th century. It has popular beaches (accessible via an aerial tramway) on the Ionian sea, which is remarkably warm and has a high salt content. Taormina can be reached via highways (autostrade) from Messina from the north and Catania from the south. Contemporary age In the late 19th century Taormina gained further prominence as the place where Wilhelm von Gloeden worked most of his life as a photographer of predominantly male nudes. Also credited for making Taormina popular was Otto Geleng, best known in his hometown of Berlin for his fine paintings, which he composed and painted in Italy but exhibited in Germany. What distinguishes Geleng, however, is his choice to depict the more southern regions where he captured the spectacular views and light of Sicily. He often painted the area's Greek colonial ruins, including Taormina. Taormina's first important tourist was Johann Wolfgang Goethe who dedicated exalting pages to the city in his book entitled "Journey to Italy," but perhaps it was Geleng’s views that made its beauty talked about throughout Europe and turned the site into a famous tourist center. The artist arrived in Sicily at the age of 20 in search of new subjects for his paintings. On his way through Taormina he was so enamoured by the landscape that he decided to stop for part of the winter. Geleng began to paint everything that Taormina offered: ruins, sea, mountains, none of which were familiar to the rest of Europe. When his paintings were later exhibited in Berlin and Paris, many critics accused Geleng of having an ‘unbridled imagination’. At that, Geleng challenged them all to go to Taormina with him, promising that he would pay everyone's expenses if he were not telling the truth. During the early 20th century the town became a colony of expatriate artists, writers, and intellectuals. D. H. Lawrence stayed here at the Fontana Vecchia from 1920 to 1922, and wrote a number of his poems, novels, short stories, and essays, and a travel book, Sea and Sardinia. Charles Webster Leadbeater, the theosophical author, found out that Taormina had the right magnetics fields for Jiddu Krishnamurti to develop his talents, so the young Krishnamurti dwelt here from time to time. Halldór Laxness, the Icelandic author, worked here on the first modern Icelandic novel, Vefarinn mikli frá Kasmír. By this time Taormina had become "a polite synonym for Sodom" as Harold Acton described it. Later, however, after the Second World War Acton was visiting Taormina with Evelyn Waugh and, coming upon a board advertising “Ye Olde English Teas” he sighed and commented that Taormina 'was now quite as boring as Bournemouth'. Archaeology The present town of Taormina occupies the ancient site, on a lofty hill which forms the last projecting point of the mountain ridge that extends along the coast from Cape Pelorus to this point. The site of the old town is about 300 m above the sea, while a very steep and almost isolated rock, crowned by a Saracen castle, rises about 150 m higher: this is undoubtedly the site of the ancient Arx or citadel, the inaccessible position of which is repeatedly alluded to by ancient writers. Portions of the ancient walls may be traced at intervals all round the brow of the hill, the whole of the summit of which was evidently occupied by the ancient city. Numerous fragments of ancient buildings are scattered over its whole surface, including extensive reservoirs of water, sepulchres, tesselated pavements, etc., and the remains of a spacious edifice, commonly called a Naumachia, but the real destination of which it is difficult to determine. The Teatro Greco ("Greek theatre"). But by far the most remarkable monument remaining at Taormina is the ancient theatre (the teatro greco, or "Greek theatre"), which is one of the most celebrated ruins in Sicily, on account both of its remarkable preservation and of the surpassing beauty of its situation. It is built for the most part of brick, and is therefore probably of Roman date, though the plan and arrangement are in accordance with those of Greek, rather than Roman, theatres; whence it is supposed that the present structure was rebuilt upon the foundations of an older theatre of the Greek period. With a diameter of 109 metres (after an expansion in the 2nd century), this theatre is the second largest of its kind in Sicily (after that of Syracuse); it is frequently used for operatic and theatrical performances and for concerts. The greater part of the original seats have disappeared, but the wall which surrounded the whole cavea is preserved, and the proscenium with the back wall of the scena and its appendages, of which only traces remain in most ancient theatres, are here preserved in singular integrity, and contribute much to the picturesque effect, as well as to the interest, of the ruin. From the fragments of architectural decorations still extant we learn that it was of the Corinthian order, and richly ornamented. Some portions of a temple are also visible, converted into the church of San Pancrazio, but the edifice is of small size. taormina rainbow messina bougainvillea basil basilico hotel san domenico giardini naxos etna volcano vulcano island isola sicilia sicily italia italy sea sun landscape free europe wallpaper michael micky castielli resolution vacation holiday travel flight creativecommons creative commons zero CC0 cc0 CC cc panoramio flickr googleearth maps geotagged gnu gimp wikimedia. www.meimanrensheng.com/ www.livingalifeincolour.com/ www.travelagenda.nl/ www.travelagenda.nl/nieuws/koffietijdkiekjes/koffietijd-k...

A Mexican - Tibetan Buddha rooftop in Puerto Vallarta, Jalisco, Mexico

Mural of Vajrasattva - Dorje Sempa - with Mexican Iconography Fly me round trip from Seattle to anywhere (especially Puerto Vallarta) to paint more murals. A mural mixing Mexican and Tibetan Buddhist iconography on a rooftop in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico, completed Jan 1, 2007. As a mixed image this is not, strictly speaking, an image of Vajrasattva, but Tibetan iconography with Mexican and international iconography in my own style. This is a buddha of purity and purification, part of the basic practices. It was painted as a present for the friends I stayed with there - Rossy and Ariel. It's approximately 7 ft by 7 ft square. It was painted on reinforced concrete. It is on the back of the enclosed staircase. Took a little over 3 days to paint - totally on the fly - no preliminary drawings - I just started painting. To the right of the skulls you will see a skeleton of my friend's dog, Breda. The colorful red section above is influenced by the local Huichol art. Ariel is a homegrown biologist - his company is "Wild Travellers" - he is an ethusiastic eco-tourguide, and conservationist of endangered species of turtles. He was voted the best tourguide by tourists in North Vallarta. This image stands in for a shrine. What I am trying to convey is that Buddhism can be a wholesome and creative influence on Mexican culture. "Rotoplas" on the black plastic container stands for the manufacturing technique - rotational plastic - it's a water filter and storage device - a cistern. -------------------- Mural de Vajrasatva - Dorje Sempa - Iconografía mexicana Vuele ida y vuelta me de Seattle a cualquier lugar (especialmente en Puerto Vallarta) para pintar murales más. Un mural y la mezcla mexicana iconografía budista tibetano en una azotea en Puerto Vallarta, Mexico, completada 1 de enero de 2007. Como una mezcla de imagen esto no es, estrictamente hablando, una imagen de Vajrasatva, pero tibetano iconografía mexicana e internacional con la iconografía en mi propio estilo. Se trata de un buda de la pureza y la purificación, la parte de las prácticas básicas. Se pintó como un regalo para los amigos que me quedé allí - Rossy y Ariel. Es de aproximadamente 7 pies por 7 pies cuadrados. Fue pintado en hormigón armado. Es en la parte posterior de la escalera cerrada. Tomó un poco más de 3 días a la pintura - totalmente en el momento - no hay dibujos preliminares - Acabo de empezar la pintura. A la derecha de los cráneos verá un esqueleto de mi amigo el perro, Breda. La sección anterior de color rojo se ve influida por el arte huichol. Ariel es un biólogo de la casa - su empresa es "Wild Viajeros" - que se trate de una visita ethusiastic ecológica y conservacionista de especies amenazadas de tortugas. Fue elegido como el mejor visita por los turistas en el norte de Vallarta. Esta imagen se encuentra en un santuario. Lo que estoy tratando de transmitir es que el budismo puede ser una sana y creativa influencia en la cultura mexicana. "Rotoplas" en el contenedor de plástico negro representa la técnica de fabricación - de rotación de plástico - es un filtro de agua y dispositivo de almacenamiento - una cisterna.
