El famoso puente sobre el Rio Kwai que inspiró una película basada en la 2ª Guerra Mundial se encuentra situado en la Provincia de Kanchanaburi, la tercera más grande de Tailandia dentro de la localidad que recibe el mismo nombre.
Este puente se construyó con el fin de unir Tailandia y Birmania por el paso fronterizo de las Tres Pagodas para el transporte de mercancías y tropas japonesas.
Fue construido por prioneros de guerra ingleses, australianos, asiáticos y neozelandeses. Se construyó con hierro negro de Java, posteriormente se transportó hasta su ubicación actual y vuelto a montar.
Murieron 16.000 prisioneros aliados en su construcción, obligados por su captores japoneses a trabajar en condiciones infrahumanas, al tren que circulaba por sus vias se le dió el nombre de "Tren De La Muerte".
El puente fue finalmente bombardeado por los británicos lo que en parte provocó la rendición de las tropas japonesas. Hoy día el puente está rehabilitado y es una de las mayores atracciones de la ciudad.

I couldn't believe the depth of moss etc., all over the branches of the trees in this valley bottom. Like giant sponge fingers....they can support gardens of ferns too......truly beautiful....Handheld, Zeiss ExoLens, remote, cropped & Snapseed on iPhone.

La vieja carretera que llevaba al pueblo de Riaño, capital del bellísimo valle del mismo nombre, inundado por las aguas del pantano el año 1987, se resiste tozudamente a desaparecer.
Muere al borde del agua gritando a los cuatro vientos que sigue conduciendo hasta el pueblo inundado, que persiste en su función histórica para que el espíritu del viejo Riaño no desparezca de la memoria de quienes lo visitan, como despareció en su día de los mapas.
En este mi pequeño homenaje a quienes sufrieron, lucharon y fueron derrotados y engullidos sin piedad por el progreso y por las máquinas excavadoras protegidas por la guardia civil, quise mostrar toda la belleza que ahora se adueña de ese entorno cuando cae la noche invernal.
Si el pueblo centenario, milenario quizá, no hubiese desaparecido bajo las aguas que producen luz, luz artificial, esta bellísima luz natural que parece surgir de todas partes, cielo, tierra y agua, NUNCA podría haber sido fotografiada. Incluso el humo de mi cigarrillo, iluminado por la luz roja que Carlos enfocaba sobre la carretera fantasma, quiso sumarse a nuestro sincero y emocionado homenaje al superviviente camino al pueblo que yace bajo las aguas.
La belleza que nunca existió y que quizá nunca debió de existir, nos permitió rendir homenaje a la belleza natural que mataron...
Sí... como podéis apreciar, ironías de la historia.

This waterfall was very popular probably because of its conspicuous location in Southern Iceland (so tour buses don't miss it). That said, this falls also featured some things that made it more than an ordinary tall waterfall; such as the ability to go behind it as well as its close proximity to other nice waterfalls such as the spooky Gljúfurárfoss. 5720

NAMIBIA
Das Deadvlei, auch DeadVlei oder Dead Vlei geschrieben, liegt in Namibia und ist eine von Namibsand-Dünen umschlossene Ton-Pfanne (Vlei) in der Namib-Wüste. Charakteristisch für das Deadvlei sind die vielen abgestorben Akazienbäume, die vertrockneten, als der Tsauchab, ein ephemerer Trockenfluss, seinen Flusslauf änderte, und nun sehr langsam verrotten. Manche dieser Bäume sind über 500 Jahre alt. Das Deadvlei ist Teil des Namib-Naukluft-Nationalparks und liegt benachbart zu dem Sossusvlei, dem Narravlei und dem Hiddenvlei.
With Hurricane Joaquin, it had rained for a couple of weeks and the flooding and standing water had allowed millions of mosquitoes to breed. I was standing in 6 inches of water in a marshy area to get the setting sun in the middle of the dock. I think I got a thousand bites and was really concerned about snakes but the capture was worth it. My wife and son are on either side of the setting sun enjoying the view.
