#Lempira

[wingedjewels]

Azure-crowned Hummingbird by Adam Rainoff Via Flickr: In the serene landscape of Villa Verde, at the entrance to the famed Celaque National Park in Honduras, I had the opportunity to photograph the striking Azure-crowned Hummingbird, Saucerottia cyanocephala. This region, renowned for its biodiversity, presented a natural canvas for capturing the essence of this vibrant species. The bird, with its distinctive metallic blue crown that glistens like a sapphire under the Honduran sun, offered a compelling subject against the lush, green backdrop of its habitat in Gracias, Lempira. From a photographer's standpoint, the challenge lay in capturing the intricate details and vivid colors of the hummingbird while maintaining a naturalistic setting. Utilizing a shallow depth of field, I aimed to accentuate the bird's dazzling crown and iridescent plumage, allowing these features to stand out sharply against a smoothly blurred background. The interplay of natural light filtering through the canopy added a dynamic quality to the image, highlighting the textures and hues of the bird's feathers. This photograph is a testament to the patience and precision required in wildlife photography, where waiting for that perfect moment can unveil the extraordinary beauty of even the smallest subjects. ©2022 Adam Rainoff

20 juillet : le Honduras fête son héros national

Lempira est le premier chef indien à avoir su fédérer les différentes tribus pour lutter contre la domination espagnole. Tenant tête courageusement à l'envahisseur, il sera finalement tué à la suite d'une traitrise. C'est lui que le pays tout entier commémore chaque 20 juillet, jour supposé de sa mort, par le Jour de l’Indien Lempira (Día del Indio Lempira).

Lempiras (1499-1537) était un capitaine de guerre des Lenca, tribu qui a combattu les Espagnols au cours des années 1530. Dans des documents écrits datant de la conquête espagnole, il est mentionné le nom de El Lempira (son vrai nom était Erandique). Aujourd’hui, la monnaie du Honduras porte son nom, ainsi qu’un département du pays et un port : Puerto Lempira.

Aujourd'hui, dans les écoles les enfants chantent l' hymne Lempira et s'habillent avec ce qu'ils imaginent être la mode indigène de l'époque. Le folklore catracho est mi en valeur, des festivals gastronomiques, des danses, des défilés, des expositions d'art sont organisés chaque 20 juillet de manière spontané, car les autorités s’intéressent peu à cette célébration de l’identité nationale à travers la culture indienne.

Honduras has amazing beautiful beaches and, of course, neocolonialism. The cost of living goes way up when it involves tourists, or, gringos retiring or building their summer villas over there. Yes there is economic gain by tourism but there's also monopolies, land, supermarket, transportation mediums. So there's a small chance you help locals, big chance you help hotel owners expand their yatch collection.

Ex. I buy a lettuce at 15 Lempiras, that lettuce head costs >90 Lempiras at the island (monopoly). Hotel staff shares our minimum wage.

self proclaimed leftists with entire graduate degrees on twitter not understanding that tourism in places like latin america and the caribbean is a form of neocolonialism even in places where the national economy is dependent on it. just because the government is making money off of ur lil excursions and hotel stays doesn’t mean regular citizens are, especially in your fave ‘tropical getaway spots’. the fact that sandals wanted to build an entire resort in tobago where my family lives might sound great for the economy or whatever until you realize that they would’ve closed off several acres of land and made it inaccessible to non-tourists which is fucking insane thing to even propose on such a small island. like i’m sorry but do you really think my family is grateful when you crackers come to visit during the winter?? do you really think your presence adds value to their lives?? when the govt invests money in ports but not paving the fucking roads anywhere that’s not downtown/vacation home territory?? you white losers need to put down ur marx for like half a sec and pick up a small place by jamaica kincaid. ​like lol if you wanna be a tourist be a tourist but don’t fucking act like anyone who refers to it as a contemporary form of colonialism is doing too much. ESPECIALLY when this sentiment is legit coming directly from the people living in the getaways you love to visit. i genuinely don’t understand how y’all can grasp the ��there is no ethical consumption under capitalism” shit but can’t understand this.

Azure-crowned Hummingbird by Adam Rainoff Via Flickr: In the lush environment of Villa Verde, nestled in the city of Gracias, Lempira, Honduras, I had the unique opportunity to photograph the Azure-crowned Hummingbird (Saucerottia cyanocephala). This image encapsulates the essence of this stunning bird, set against the vibrant backdrop of its natural habitat. The hummingbird, known for its dynamic presence and exquisite coloring, is highlighted in a moment of serene beauty. The challenge of capturing such a rapidly moving subject was met with a combination of patience and technical precision, resulting in a composition that balances sharp focus on the bird with a softly blurred background, emphasizing its striking features. From a photographic standpoint, this shot required a keen eye for detail and an understanding of the bird's behavior. The interplay of natural light and shadow brings out the intricate patterns and colors of the bird’s plumage, while the subtle hint of pollen on its beak adds depth to the story behind the image. This photograph is not just a visual record; it’s a celebration of the unique wildlife found in Central America, and a testament to the art of bird photography. ©2022 Adam Rainoff

12 de Julio la Fecha triste de nuestra historia Maya.

Con nuestro corazón quebrantado y lágrimas en nuestros ojos, nos unimos a todos los sabios ancianos hacer B'ISS OQ'EJ (Luto, tristeza y lamentación Maya) en este día 13 Imox 4 Mol de este año 12 N’oj 5,152, al que corresponde a la fecha 12 de Julio 2,024 en el calendario gregoriano.

Presentamos delante de todos ustedes la verdadera historia de la fecha más triste de nuestra historia Maya del día 12 de Julio de 1,562, que en el calendario Maya Haab’ fue 10 TIJAX 10 WO’ del año 5 IQ' 4,690.

En esta fecha sucedió el acto más despreciable contra nuestro pueblo Maya, y desde ese entonces este día es considerado como la fecha más triste del pueblo Maya.

El 12 de Julio es el día de nuestro luto nacional Maya, fecha cuando los Mayas nos detenemos a reflexionar sobre todos los horrores, cruzadas, inquisiciones y holocaustos de verdaderos sacrificios humanos que cometieron los invasores en contra de nuestros ancestros los Mayas.

Hechos que han afectado a nuestra nación Maya durante los últimos 500 años. Sin embargo, es específicamente observado en este día 12 de Julio la fecha en que los libros y códices sagrados Mayas fueron destruidos.

Los libros. los Códices, y nuestros líderes Mayas son el tema principal de este día de luto y lamentación. Es evidente que nuestro sufrimiento está íntimamente asociado con la ausencia de estos sagrados textos que desaparecieron en el fuego en aquel trágico día.

Todos los sufrimientos que nos han tocado desde el día en que el Templo de la Sabiduría Maya fue destruido son el resultado de nuestro estado de exilio y subdesarrollo en estos últimos años en nuestras propias tierras, ya que nos privaron del gran conocimiento y sabiduría de nuestros sabios padres los mayas en todo su plenitud.

Es por eso que el 12 de Julio lloramos la destrucción de nuestros templos, nuestros libros, nuestros códices, nuestras tierras y nuestros lugares sagrados y la destrucción de nuestros reyes en manos de los malvados religiosos y politicos invasores.

A pesar que ha pasado 500 años todavía se escuchan los gritos reprimidos de nuestros reyes de nuestras reinas, de nuestros príncipes, de nuestros nobles de todos nuestros pueblos y ciudades de Q’umarkaj, de Iximche’, de Xelajuj N’oj, de Xetulul, de Tenochtitlan y más ciudades, quemándose en las plazas, abrazado por las llamas del fuego.

El holocausto de nuestros reyes y de nuestros códices, el llanto de los niños y mujeres que salieron huyendo en las montañas para no morir decapitados por la espada, ahorcados, violados por el invasor, simplemente no se puede olvidar.

Estos y por mucho más hoy hacemos luto y lamentación con gemidos y gritos de dolor.

Ay, Ay, Ay, Ay que dolor que tristeza, que pena sentimos por todo lo que sufristeis en el fuego cuando fuisteis quemados oh abuelos Oxib’ Kej, y B’elejeb’ Tz’i reyes de Q’umarkaj.

Ay, Ay, Ay, Ay que dolor que tristeza por su muerte cruel y despiadado oh abuelo Asumanch’e, abuelo Tecum Uman, abuela Maria Tecum, abuelo Kaji, Imox, Kaibil B’alam, Moctezuma, Cuauhtemoc, Atlacatl, Lempira, Nicarawa’, Jatuey, Atawalpa y demás héroes Mayas, Tainos, Aztecas, Incas, Apaches, Esquimales que dieron su vida, y su todo para defender su tierra, su hogar y su descendencia ante el malvado invasor.
