Mars ? ... Venus ? ... or Earth ?

The Living Planet report by WWF calculates that humans are using 30% more resources than the Earth can replenish each year, which is leading to deforestation, degraded soils, polluted air and water, and dramatic declines in numbers of fish and other species.

The report continues: "We have only one planet. Its capacity to support a thriving diversity of species, humans included, is large but fundamentally limited. When human demand on this capacity exceeds what is available - when we surpass ecological limits - we erode the health of the Earth's living systems. "

This had led the report to predict that by 2030, if nothing changes, mankind would need two planets to sustain its lifestyle. [guardian.co.uk]

While walking under the rain at green valleys between the pine forest hills we saw three trees, three donkeys and a log cabin...
It looks and sounds like a magic sign...
I don't know the meaning, but I think the donkeys are enjoying it...

but it is on this earth!

Better in black.

Saffron is a spice derived from the dried stigma of the flower of the saffron crocus (Crocus sativus), a species of crocus in the family Iridaceae. The flower has three stigmas, which are the distal ends of the plant's carpels. Together with its style, the stalk connecting the stigmas to the rest of the plant, these components are often dried and used in cooking as a seasoning and coloring agent. Saffron, which has for decades been the world's most expensive spice by weight, is native to Southwest Asia.
