## Taietorii de gheata

In zilele noastre nu concepem sa nu bem o limonada rece in timpul verii sau o bautura cu gheata care sa ne fie servita cat ai clipi din ochi, dar au fost vremuri cand daca nu erai gospodar, vara beai bautura calda :).

Vorbim acum de perioada de dinainte de aparitia frigiderelor sau a instalatiilor de produs gheata cand trebuia sa iti procuri gheata din timpul iernii si sa o depozitezi in ghetarii pentru a avea in timpul verii.

Exista meseria numita taietor de gheata care asta facea. Taia gheata cu ajutorul unor ferastraie in blocuri de cca 10 kg, o incarca in carute si o depozita in ghetarii, niste gropi adanci de cca 2 m.

Intre blocurile de gheata din ghetarie se puneau paie pentru a nu se suda intre ele. Vara cei care aveau rezerve mai mari de gheata in ghetarii le vindeau restaurantelor, cofetariilor sau altor localuri.

  


  


## Inima din Voh

## Inima din Voh

În cartea „Pământul vazut de sus”, care a fost publicată în 1999 și care a vândut mai mult de trei milioane de exemplare, Inima din Voh a fost filmată de fotograful și reporterul francez Yann Arthus-Bertrand, in 1990.

Reprezinta o zona dezgolita intr-o mlastina cu mangrove din Noua Caledonie

  
Mlaștina de mangrove este indispensabilă pentru viața marină a animalelor și pentru echilibrul litoralului, precum și pentru economia locală. Noua Caledonie, un grup de insule din Pacific, care se întinde pe o distanță de 18.575 kilometri pătrați, are mangrove de 77 kilometri pătrați.  
Acolo unde apa de mare pătrunde numai în timpul mareelor ​​de primăvară, vegetația este înlocuită uneori de terenuri goale numite tanne, ca în apropierea orașului Voh, unde natura a tras această poartă sub forma unei inimi elegante.
