Built on a network of 118 small islands separated by canals and linked by bridges, Venice is a place where history, art, and romance converge in a breathtaking display of human ingenuity. Known as the "Floating City," Venice is a treasure trove of cultural, historical, and architectural wonders. From the grandeur of St. Mark’s Basilica to the charm of its winding canals, Venice offers a wealth of experiences that captivate visitors from around the world.

St. Mark’s Basilica, located in the heart of the city, is one of the most iconic landmarks in Venice. This magnificent cathedral, with its intricate mosaics, golden domes, and ornate facade, is a masterpiece of Byzantine architecture. The basilica’s interior, adorned with shimmering gold mosaics and precious marbles, is a testament to Venice’s wealth and artistic heritage. The Pala d’Oro, an exquisite altarpiece made of gold and encrusted with jewels, is a highlight of any visit.<p style="color: #404040; font-family: Inter, system-ui, -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, &quot;Segoe UI&quot;, Roboto, &quot;Noto Sans&quot;, Ubuntu, Cantarell, &quot;Helvetica Neue&quot;, Oxygen, &quot;Open Sans&quot;, sans-serif; font-size: 16.002px; line-height: var(--ds-md-line-height); margin: calc(var(--ds-md-zoom)*12px)0;">Adjacent to St. Mark’s Basilica is the Doge’s Palace, a Gothic masterpiece that served as the residence of the Doge of Venice and the seat of Venetian government. The palace’s opulent rooms, adorned with frescoes, gilded ceilings, and intricate carvings, offer a glimpse into the power and grandeur of the Venetian Republic. The Bridge of Sighs, which connects the palace to the prison, is a poignant reminder of the city’s judicial history and a popular spot for photography.<p style="color: #404040; font-family: Inter, system-ui, -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, &quot;Segoe UI&quot;, Roboto, &quot;Noto Sans&quot;, Ubuntu, Cantarell, &quot;Helvetica Neue&quot;, Oxygen, &quot;Open Sans&quot;, sans-serif; font-size: 16.002px; line-height: var(--ds-md-line-height); margin: calc(var(--ds-md-zoom)*12px)0;">Another architectural marvel is the Rialto Bridge, the oldest of the four bridges that span the Grand Canal.

In Lisbon, the capital that straddles both tradition and modernity, early risers were greeted by a gentle awakening. A delicate mist clung to the ancient cobblestone streets of Alfama, and the cool early morning registered at a mild 13°C (55°F). The air, tinged with the salty tang of the nearby Tagus River, carried hints of maritime tales from long ago. Overhead, clouds gathered in a harmonious assembly, promising a day where sun and drizzle would share the stage.As the day matured in Lisbon, the interplay between light and water became a subtle dance. By mid-morning, the temperature in the city nudged upward to a pleasant 16°C (61°F), inviting the city dwellers to venture out. Occasional, light showers began to fall—each droplet a transient caress upon the weathered facades of centuries-old buildings. In narrow alleys and busy boulevards alike, umbrellas blossomed open like delicate flowers, their colors a vibrant counterpoint to the soft, gray canvas of the sky. The ever-changing light filtered through the drifting clouds, transforming everyday scenes into a living tapestry of reflections and gentle contrasts.Northward in Porto, the narrative unfolded with its own distinctive rhythm. Known for its storied Ribeira district and the flowing Douro River, Porto greeted the morning with a cooler temperament. The day began at around 10°C (50°F), with a persistent drizzle that lent the city an almost melancholic beauty. As the hours passed, the mercury slowly ascended to approximately 14°C (57°F) by midday. In Porto, the rain was both a companion and a muse—each soft patter on the ancient tiled rooftops and along the riverbanks weaving a tale of introspection and timeless charm. The reflective surface of the water captured the subdued light, creating a dreamlike interplay of shadows and fleeting brilliance that echoed the city’s rich cultural heritage.Traveling south to the sun-dappled Algarve, the weather took on a decidedly warmer and more exuberant tone. In Faro, the day began under a gentle embrace of early morning light, with temperatures starting at a comfortable 15°C (59°F). Here, the Atlantic’s influence was palpable, as a soft coastal fog slowly dissipated to reveal a sky punctuated by sporadic bursts of sunlight. By noon, Faro’s thermometer crept upward to a welcoming 19°C (66°F), bathing the city’s golden beaches and rugged cliffs in a warm, radiant glow. The intermittent appearance of scattered clouds allowed the sun to intermittently shine, creating shifting patterns of light that danced upon the shimmering ocean. A brief, playful shower in the early afternoon added a refreshing contrast, as if the sea itself were sprinkling its magic over the land.In the heart of Portugal, the historic town of Coimbra experienced a day imbued with a reflective, scholarly ambiance. The morning arrived with a soft veil of mist that settled over the ancient university and its verdant surroundings, as temperatures hovered around 12°C (54°F). As the day advanced, intermittent patches of sunlight emerged to gently coax the mercury upward to 15°C (59°F) by midday. The interplay of muted light and the quiet drip of rain transformed the city’s venerable halls and lush gardens into scenes of almost poetic serenity—a reminder of the timeless pursuit of knowledge interwoven with the rhythms of nature.Venture inland to the expansive plains of the Alentejo region, and the weather narrated yet another chapter of quiet elegance. Here, the day began with a cool 11°C (52°F) in the soft light of dawn, the wide-open skies promising a day of gentle transformation. As the sun rose higher, the temperature gradually reached about 16°C (61°F), offering a brief reprieve from the early chill. The vast, rolling fields and ancient olive groves, touched by sporadic showers and caressed by light, persistent winds, appeared as if they were scenes painted by a master artist—each element contributing to an ever-evolving masterpiece of natural beauty.Throughout Portugal, from the rain-kissed streets of Lisbon to the sunlit shores of Faro and the reflective alleys of Porto, the weather on February 25, 2025, wove a tale of contrasts and gentle harmonies. The intermittent rain, the shifting patterns of cloud and sun, and the delicate interplay of cool breezes and warm rays together composed a living narrative—a reminder that every day is a chapter in an epic story written by nature herself. As evening descended, the temperatures began their graceful descent once more, settling at around 13°C (55°F) in Lisbon and slightly cooler in the north. The soft glow of twilight, mingled with the lingering scent of rain and the distant murmur of the ocean, left Portugal bathed in a quiet luminescence—a gentle promise that the cycle of day and night, sun and rain, would continue to sing its eternal, soothing lullaby.</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='https://28-weather.blogspot.com/feeds/3506044075489712911/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='https://28-weather.blogspot.com/2025/02/whispers-of-atlantic-portugals-weather.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='https://www.blogger.com/feeds/603501129413007435/posts/default/3506044075489712911'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='https://www.blogger.com/feeds/603501129413007435/posts/default/3506044075489712911'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://28-weather.blogspot.com/2025/02/whispers-of-atlantic-portugals-weather.html' title='Whispers of the Atlantic: Portugal's Weather on February 25, 2025'/><author><name>radio</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08078943990639274377</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='https://img1.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-603501129413007435.post-6219787457266682333</id><published>2025-02-21T04:25:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2025-02-21T04:25:26.952-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Capturing the Beauty of the Ocean: A Journey of Art and Adventure</title><content type='html'>&nbsp;<span style="color: #374151; font-family: ui-sans-serif, system-ui, sans-serif, &quot;Apple Color Emoji&quot;, &quot;Segoe UI Emoji&quot;, &quot;Segoe UI Symbol&quot;, &quot;Noto Color Emoji&quot;; font-size: 16px;">As a photographer, I've always been drawn to the ocean. There's something about the way the light dances on the waves, the sound of the surf, and the smell of the salt air that inspires me to capture its beauty. I've spent countless hours on the beach, waiting for the perfect shot, and I've learned to read the weather to anticipate the best moments to take my camera out. A stormy day can be just as captivating as a sunny one, as the dramatic skies and rough seas create a sense of drama and power.<p style="--tw-border-spacing-x: 0; --tw-border-spacing-y: 0; --tw-ring-color: rgb(59 130 246 / .5); --tw-ring-offset-color: #fff; --tw-ring-offset-shadow: 0 0 #0000; --tw-ring-offset-width: 0px; --tw-ring-shadow: 0 0 #0000; --tw-rotate: 0; --tw-scale-x: 1; --tw-scale-y: 1; --tw-scroll-snap-strictness: proximity; --tw-shadow-colored: 0 0 #0000; --tw-shadow: 0 0 #0000; --tw-skew-x: 0; --tw-skew-y: 0; --tw-translate-x: 0; --tw-translate-y: 0; border-color: rgb(229, 231, 235); border-style: solid; border-width: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #374151; font-family: ui-sans-serif, system-ui, sans-serif, &quot;Apple Color Emoji&quot;, &quot;Segoe UI Emoji&quot;, &quot;Segoe UI Symbol&quot;, &quot;Noto Color Emoji&quot;; font-size: 16px; margin: 1.25em 0px; scrollbar-color: initial; scrollbar-width: initial;">One of my favorite places to shoot is near an old lighthouse, perched on a rocky outcropping overlooking the ocean. The lighthouse has been a beacon for sailors for generations, and its rugged beauty is a testament to the power of the sea. I love to watch the way the light from the lighthouse cuts through the fog, illuminating the waves and creating a sense of mystery and wonder. As I stand there, camera in hand, I feel a sense of connection to the ocean and its rhythms, and I know that I'm exactly where I'm meant to be.<p style="--tw-border-spacing-x: 0; --tw-border-spacing-y: 0; --tw-ring-color: rgb(59 130 246 / .5); --tw-ring-offset-color: #fff; --tw-ring-offset-shadow: 0 0 #0000; --tw-ring-offset-width: 0px; --tw-ring-shadow: 0 0 #0000; --tw-rotate: 0; --tw-scale-x: 1; --tw-scale-y: 1; --tw-scroll-snap-strictness: proximity; --tw-shadow-colored: 0 0 #0000; --tw-shadow: 0 0 #0000; --tw-skew-x: 0; --tw-skew-y: 0; --tw-translate-x: 0; --tw-translate-y: 0; border-color: rgb(229, 231, 235); border-style: solid; border-width: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #374151; font-family: ui-sans-serif, system-ui, sans-serif, &quot;Apple Color Emoji&quot;, &quot;Segoe UI Emoji&quot;, &quot;Segoe UI Symbol&quot;, &quot;Noto Color Emoji&quot;; font-size: 16px; margin: 1.25em 0px; scrollbar-color: initial; scrollbar-width: initial;">On a calm day, I might take out my kite and fly it high above the beach, feeling the wind in my hair and the sun on my face. It's a simple pleasure, but one that brings me a sense of joy and freedom. As I watch the kite soar, I think about the island that lies just offshore, a tiny dot on the horizon that beckons me to explore its secrets. I've spent many happy hours cycling around the island on my bicycle, discovering hidden coves and secret beaches, and marveling at the way the ocean has shaped the landscape over time.<p style="--tw-border-spacing-x: 0; --tw-border-spacing-y: 0; --tw-ring-color: rgb(59 130 246 / .5); --tw-ring-offset-color: #fff; --tw-ring-offset-shadow: 0 0 #0000; --tw-ring-offset-width: 0px; --tw-ring-shadow: 0 0 #0000; --tw-rotate: 0; --tw-scale-x: 1; --tw-scale-y: 1; --tw-scroll-snap-strictness: proximity; --tw-shadow-colored: 0 0 #0000; --tw-shadow: 0 0 #0000; --tw-skew-x: 0; --tw-skew-y: 0; --tw-translate-x: 0; --tw-translate-y: 0; border-color: rgb(229, 231, 235); border-style: solid; border-width: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #374151; font-family: ui-sans-serif, system-ui, sans-serif, &quot;Apple Color Emoji&quot;, &quot;Segoe UI Emoji&quot;, &quot;Segoe UI Symbol&quot;, &quot;Noto Color Emoji&quot;; font-size: 16px; margin: 1.25em 0px; scrollbar-color: initial; scrollbar-width: initial;">As the day wears on, I might head back to my studio to review my photos and plan my next shoot. I share the studio with a painter, who is always working on a new masterpiece inspired by the ocean's beauty. We spend hours talking about art and life, and I'm always amazed by the way she sees the world, capturing the colors and textures of the sea in her vibrant paintings. Her studio is filled with half-finished canvases, paint-splattered easels, and the smell of turpentine, and I love to watch her work, mesmerized by the way she brings the ocean to life on canvas.<p style="--tw-border-spacing-x: 0; --tw-border-spacing-y: 0; --tw-ring-color: rgb(59 130 246 / .5); --tw-ring-offset-color: #fff; --tw-ring-offset-shadow: 0 0 #0000; --tw-ring-offset-width: 0px; --tw-ring-shadow: 0 0 #0000; --tw-rotate: 0; --tw-scale-x: 1; --tw-scale-y: 1; --tw-scroll-snap-strictness: proximity; --tw-shadow-colored: 0 0 #0000; --tw-shadow: 0 0 #0000; --tw-skew-x: 0; --tw-skew-y: 0; --tw-translate-x: 0; --tw-translate-y: 0; border-color: rgb(229, 231, 235); border-style: solid; border-width: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #374151; font-family: ui-sans-serif, system-ui, sans-serif, &quot;Apple Color Emoji&quot;, &quot;Segoe UI Emoji&quot;, &quot;Segoe UI Symbol&quot;, &quot;Noto Color Emoji&quot;; font-size: 16px; margin: 1.25em 0px; scrollbar-color: initial; scrollbar-width: initial;">As the sun begins to set, I grab my camera and head back out to the beach, eager to capture the sunset's golden light. The sky is ablaze with color, and the ocean is bathed in a warm, golden glow. I take shot after shot, trying to freeze the moment forever, as the sun dips lower and lower in the sky. It's a magical time of day, full of possibility and promise, and I feel grateful to be able to experience it.<p style="--tw-border-spacing-x: 0; --tw-border-spacing-y: 0; --tw-ring-color: rgb(59 130 246 / .5); --tw-ring-offset-color: #fff; --tw-ring-offset-shadow: 0 0 #0000; --tw-ring-offset-width: 0px; --tw-ring-shadow: 0 0 #0000; --tw-rotate: 0; --tw-scale-x: 1; --tw-scale-y: 1; --tw-scroll-snap-strictness: proximity; --tw-shadow-colored: 0 0 #0000; --tw-shadow: 0 0 #0000; --tw-skew-x: 0; --tw-skew-y: 0; --tw-translate-x: 0; --tw-translate-y: 0; border-color: rgb(229, 231, 235); border-style: solid; border-width: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #374151; font-family: ui-sans-serif, system-ui, sans-serif, &quot;Apple Color Emoji&quot;, &quot;Segoe UI Emoji&quot;, &quot;Segoe UI Symbol&quot;, &quot;Noto Color Emoji&quot;; font-size: 16px; margin: 1.25em 0px 0px; scrollbar-color: initial; scrollbar-width: initial;">As the stars begin to twinkle in the night sky, I pack up my camera and head back to the studio, feeling fulfilled and content. I know that I've captured some amazing shots, and I can't wait to review them and plan my next adventure. The ocean has a way of inspiring me, of pushing me to see the world in new and exciting ways, and I know that I'll be back out there again soon, camera in hand, ready to capture its beauty once more. Whether the weather is calm or stormy, sunny or cloudy, I know that the ocean will always be a source of inspiration, a reminder of the beauty and wonder that surrounds us, and a call to adventure that I can never resist.</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='https://28-weather.blogspot.com/feeds/6219787457266682333/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='https://28-weather.blogspot.com/2025/02/capturing-beauty-of-ocean-journey-of.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='https://www.blogger.com/feeds/603501129413007435/posts/default/6219787457266682333'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='https://www.blogger.com/feeds/603501129413007435/posts/default/6219787457266682333'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://28-weather.blogspot.com/2025/02/capturing-beauty-of-ocean-journey-of.html' title='Capturing the Beauty of the Ocean: A Journey of Art and Adventure'/><author><name>radio</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08078943990639274377</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='https://img1.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-603501129413007435.post-4391765511974875096</id><published>2022-09-03T09:30:00.002-07:00</published><updated>2022-09-03T09:30:17.482-07:00</updated><title type='text'>With millions left homeless, focus turns to building cheap & sustainable shelters</title><content type='html'>&nbsp;With millions of people displaced by floods and relief efforts across the country, the focus has shifted to providing shelters for IDPs that are not only cheap, but also quick to build and easy to use. Flash floods in mid-August affected a third of Pakistan. About 627,793 people were moved to temporary camps, more than a million houses were partially or completely destroyed. These tents are made of canvas, canvas or panaflex. However, some have offered alternatives to these accommodations. prefabricated houses Pakistan's iron brother China has offered to build low-cost prefabricated houses for flood victims in Faisalabad Azad Zone to ease the suffering of this year's unprecedented floods. The Pakistani director of the Chinese construction group Henan DR Group, Zhang Shiloh, recently said that it is focusing on helping and supporting flood victims by building low-cost houses at about 1.8 million rupees per unit. Stating that the actual cost of the unit is between Rs 2.6 million and Rs 2.8 million, he said: The management of the company has decided to forgo profit for the rehabilitation of flood victims. In an interview with Chinese media, Zhang appealed to the Pakistani government to allow duty-free imports of raw materials from China for the project. Underlining the production capacity, this manager said: This company can prepare 200 houses per month and more than 2000 houses per year. Zhang said he wants to play his part to help Pakistani brothers and sisters: “Floods have wreaked havoc in Pakistan and left millions of people homeless, and in this case, immediate rehabilitation of flood victims is very important. The company representative also said that China is sending aid shipments to Pakistan to rehabilitate its citizens affected by the flood. A local and sustainable solution Award-winning architect Yasmin Lari proposed a low-tech, low-cost, zero-carbon shelter for flood victims in Pakistan. He helps residents build emergency shelters from local bamboo at a lower cost than the Chinese. "These shelters are easy to build and require minimal investment," said Laurie, co-founder of the Pakistan Heritage Foundation. He emphasized that they can be dismantled and moved, and the same raw materials can be reused to create permanent structures. According to information released by the National Disaster Management Authority (NDMA), more than 33 million people were affected by the floods and more than a million houses were damaged. More than 1,000 people died in floods that inundated millions of acres of land in this country. Sindh suffered the greatest damage to its infrastructure, followed by Balochistan and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. The Ministry of Planning and Development estimates that the damage to irrigation, drainage and flood control infrastructure from this year's monsoon floods exceeds 13.57 billion rupees.&nbsp;Read more: https://www.samaaenglish.tv/news/40016169/with-millions-left-homeless-focus-turns-to-building-cheap-amp-sustainable-shelters </content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='https://28-weather.blogspot.com/feeds/4391765511974875096/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='https://28-weather.blogspot.com/2022/09/with-millions-left-homeless-focus-turns.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='https://www.blogger.com/feeds/603501129413007435/posts/default/4391765511974875096'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='https://www.blogger.com/feeds/603501129413007435/posts/default/4391765511974875096'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://28-weather.blogspot.com/2022/09/with-millions-left-homeless-focus-turns.html' title='With millions left homeless, focus turns to building cheap & sustainable shelters'/><author><name>radio</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08078943990639274377</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='https://img1.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry></feed>
