La Torre del Agua fue uno de los puntos de mayor interés para los visitantes de la Expo tanto por su impresionante diseño como por la exposición que albergó en su interior: Agua para la vida. El espacio expositivo planteaba un recorrido en itinerario ascendente y descendente por medio de rampas que recorrían en su totalidad sus 73 metros de altura.
El edificio consta de dos zonas diferenciadas, la inferior está formado por tres plantas, de las que dos están enterradas y una, alzada sobre la rasante, forma la planta baja. Este zócalo sirve de base a la torre, cuyas fachadas de muro cortina acristalado se proyectan hacia el cielo.
Algunos de los elementos que caracterizan el edificio son la cortina de agua de 32 m de largo por 3 de alto situada en la entrada del zócalo y una espectacular fuente de agua-lluvia situada en su zona central. En el interior de la Torre, hueca, cuelga Splash, una escultura de 23 metros de altura que reproduce una salpicadura de agua. En la planta superior se situaba un bar panorámico.
Agua para la vida es el título de la exposición que el visitante pudo ver durante la Expo 2008. Desde un enfoque biocéntrico (los seres humanos pertenecemos a la naturaleza, y no a la inversa), el espacio pretendía hacer reflexionar sobre la importancia del agua como elemento esencial para la naturaleza y la supervivencia del planeta, y sobre la estrecha relación entre Naturaleza y Cultura.
Los medios audiovisuales y la iluminación tienen un papel fundamental en la forma de comunicar los contenidos, ya que no solo se trata de transmitir conceptos al visitante, sino también sensaciones y emociones. La muestra se organizaba en torno a los siguientes ejes temáticos: la cantidad de agua en el planeta siempre es la misma, la metamorfosis del agua, el agua se mueve, el poder creador del agua, somos agua, y agua, inspiradora del ser humano.
Number 302 of my 365 photo challenge - A split-toned, macro image of a fresh new pair of mushrooms growing in the grass on a fine Autumn afternoon.
The weather has been crazy this year. Just when I thought these guys should be dying off, more pop up!
Another very famous photo stop on Buttermere in the Lake District.Hopefully I will return here in winter when the single lonely tree is more isolated out in the lake. Still an amazing place with lots of opportunity with its beauty.

The Laugavegur is a famous trekking route in South-West Iceland from the hot springs area of Landmannalaugar to the glacial valley of Þórsmörk . It is noted for the wide variety of landscapes on its 55 km (34 mi) path. The route is typically completed over 2–4 days with potential stops at the mountain huts at Hrafntinnusker, Álftavatn, Hvanngil and Emstrur. An ultramarathon is held on the route each July. It is possible to combine the trek with the Fimmvörðuháls route which goes over the pass from Þórsmörk to Skógar for an additional one or two days or an additional 25 km (16 mi). Landmannalaugar, Þórsmörk, and Skógar are all reachable by bus during the summer. A bus from Hella connects with Álftavatn once a day during the summer.
The Chester Roberts Park is very small and it can only accommodate a few vehicles in its parking lot, Nevertheless, it affords a beautiful view of the Peace River.

Acentor alpino, Prunella collaris, buscando comida despues de una gran nevada en Sierra Espuña a 1600 m,
Es el ave montañera por excelencia. Acompañante habitual de todo aquel que se interna en las altas cumbres meditrerráneas.
El acentor alpino es el único representante de aves alpinas que habita en las cotas más altas de Sierra Espuña, ya que el resto de las aves representadas en las zonas mas altas son aves esteparias como la Collalba gris (Oenanthe oenanthe), la Alondra común (Alauda arvensis) y el Colirrojo tizón (Phoenicurus ochrurus).
Alpine accentor, Prunella collaris, looking for food after a great snowfall in Sierra Espuña at 1600 m,
It is the mountain bird by excellence. The usual companion of everyone which enters the high meditrerráneas summits.
This is the only representative of alpine birds that inhabit the higher reaches of the Sierra Espuña, since the rest of the birds represented in the highest areas are steppe birds such as the Northern Wheatear (Oenanthe oenanthe), the Eurasian Skylark (Alauda arvensis) and the Black Redstart (Phoenicurus ochrurus).

Trees in winter
With the arrival of winter, and often at the end of autumn, a new problem arises with trees. This specific "winter" problem is associated with the accumulation of wet snow and the formation of frost on the branches and trunks of trees. "Freezing rains" - phenomena occur under certain combinations of weather conditions: sleet, wind, fog, sudden changes in temperature with a "transition through 0 degrees". Such a significant load on the branches and trunks of trees can lead to emergency situations:
1. Breaking off and collapse of large branches. Typical for poplar, aspen, willow, linden, oak. To a lesser extent for pines and elms.
2. Breaking the forks of co-dominant trunks. Most often found in the above tree species with V-shaped forks. Less typical for U-shaped forks of birch and spruce.
3. Bending under the weight of snow and ice, with possible breaking of the trunks of inclined trees.
I found the trees without obvious problems :)
