Stonehenge is an ancient monument in south-west England. For me, it’s the THE MOST INTERESTING place I’ve ever visited. I clearly remember my FIRST visit to Stonehenge with my aunt and uncle. They lived nearby and I often WENT to stay with them in my summer holidays. On the day of OUR trip the weather was fine. There WAS a cool wind blowing, the sun was bright in the sky and Stonehenge looked calm and magical. In those days it was possible to walk among the stones and even touch them. It's very different now. Stonehenge HAS BECOME more crowded than it was. As a result, now people ARE ALLOWED to walk around the monument but they can’t come up very close to it. Today I wish I HAD an opportunity to get inside the circle again but unfortunately it is not possible any more. The Stonehenge mystery is still unexplained but I believe scientists WILL SOLVE it in the near future.
"Soft watch" or "Permanence of memory" is one of the most famous paintings of the Spanish surrealist painter Salvador Dali. Other name: "Strength of memory."
In the picture we can see the landscape with Port Ligat. In the foreground is a clock that has the shape of melted cheese. That is cheese, as the associations came to Dali at the sight of melted cheese. This is also evidenced by his statement that the origin of the plot of the picture is connected with his reflections of Camembert cheese. Also in the foreground we can see an abstract image of Salvador Dali.
The very meaning of the picture speaks of the departure from the linear understanding of time, the fluidity of time, its variability. Waiting for his wife from the movie, Salvador Dali suddenly noticed on the table a piece of melting cheese, which caused him to associate with a long-running and stretching time. And there was a picture, which is now recognized as a world masterpiece of painting and one of the most famous paintings of the surrealist Salvador Dali. Another notable element in the painting is the pocket watch on the left side of the painting, which is covered with ants. This image Dali explained how the connection ants, devouring human flesh, with continuously current time. In the background, we can see the boundless sea, which symbolizes the infinity of space and time, as well as the mountains, which not only contrast their hardness with the soft clock, but also symbolize the constancy that is timeless.
