Portugal’s Summer Umbrella Sky
Want to see more of these colorful parasols? Be sure to visit the hashtag #Agueda as well as Águeda’s location page!
Dozens of beautiful, brightly colored umbrellas line a shopping promenade in Águeda—a small town located just south of Porto in Portugal. While these photogenic parasols are helpful at protecting against the sun’s rays and shielding patrons from rainfall, the colorful display is actually an art installation and initiative by the council in Águeda for AgitÁgueda, the town’s art festival!
‘What are the differences between Heaven and Hell?’, a young Zen monk asked an aged Buddhist priest who was renowned for his wisdom.
‘There are no material differences,’ replied the old monk.
‘None at all?’ asked the puzzled young monk.
‘That’s right. Both Heaven and Hell have a spacious hall…

Remember, Remember, The 5th of November
Spotlight See more photos of Westminster Palace by visiting the location pages for the Palace of Westminster, Houses of Parliament, and Westminster, London Tube stop. Watch Bonfire Night festivities unfold via the hashtags #bonfirenight and #guyfawkes.
Today is the 5th of November, also known in Great Britain as Guy Fawkes Night/Day and Bonfire Night. The day commemorates the events of 5 November 1605, when Protestant King James I survived a plot on his life. Guy Fawkes, an ardent Catholic, was arrested while guarding explosives he and his fellow Gunpowder Plotters had placed beneath the House of Lords. Londoners lit bonfires to celebrate the fact that King had survived, and the day was formally deemed a public day of thanksgiving for the plot’s failure.
Britain’s Parliament – composed of the House of Lords and House of Commons – still meet in the Palace of Westminster along the river Thames in central London. A fire in 1834 destroyed the old, medieval palace that Fawkes was discovered in, but the new structure retains the same original style. The Elizabeth Tower, known to many by the name of its main bell, “Big Ben,” is perhaps the most iconic landmark in the United Kingdom and a popular spot for photographers.
The main interest in life and work is to become someone else that you were not in the beginning.
