Axpe Achondo (en euskera y oficialmente Atxondo) es un municipio de la provincia de Vizcaya, País Vasco (España), perteneciente a la comarca del Duranguesado, con una población de 1.447 habitantes según los datos del INE correspondientes al año 2007. La extensión del municipio es de 23,21 km², por lo que la densidad poblacional es de 62,34 hab./km²
Se formó por los antiguos municipios de las anteiglesias de Apatamonasterio, Arrazola y Axpe, tras su fusión en 1962.
También se conocía en castellano como Valle de Achondo.
Ubicación y accesos
Se sitúa en el extremo sudeste de la provincia y de la comarca, en el límite con Álava. Ocupa la zona más accidentada, desde las orillas del río Ibaizábal, que se forma aquí al recibir el río Zumelegi, procedente de Elorrio, el Arrazola o Txareta, hasta las cumbres de la sierra de Amboto (1.296 msnm). La pared caliza que forman estos montes, que por este lado es muy abrupta con desniveles de más de 600 m, hace de telón de fondo a todo el municipio y le da el nombre.
Achondo limita con los siguientes municipios: al norte con Abadiano y Elorrio; al sur Aramayona (Álava); al este con Elorrio y al oeste con Abadiano.
Que tengas todos y todas un fantastico Martes de nubes
The Ponta da Piedade (Mercy Point) is possibly the most beautiful natural feature of the Algarve coastline.
The shoreline is formed of heavily weathered limestone cliffs that have been carved into rock pillars, natural tunnels and hidden grottoes. The sandstone cliffs of misshaped angles stand at stark contrast to the deep turquoises and greens of the calm seas.
L’insediamento nuragico si trova nei pressi del celebre nuraghe Arrubiu. Ad esso si può accedere alternativamente dalla SP10 (attraverso un sentiero che nel primo tratto è in salita) o dalla strada asfaltata d’accesso al nuraghe Arrubiu ; in quest’ultimo caso si potrebbe incontrare il terreno molto paludoso se dovesse piovere. L’area archeologica si caratterizza per la presenza di moltissime capanne nuragiche, sebbene poche ben conservate, ma soprattutto di un interessante tempio nuragico a pozzo.
Die Reisegeht weiter Richtung Graskop
God's Window (Gottes Fenster) liegt an der Abrißkante des Escarpment und beeindruckt jeden Besucher durch einen weiten und beeindruckenden Blick auf das tiefer liegende Lowveld in der Umgebung vom Krugerpark.
Die majestätischen Klippen stürzen über 700 Meter ins Tal hinab.
Die Sehenswürdigkeit liegt nördlich von Graskop und am Rande der Drakensberge in Mpumalanga.
Ein Blick in das weite Tal und Sie werden verstehen, warum es Gottes Fenster heißt.
Rechts ist nicht Herbst sondern es hat gebrannt.
The journey continues towards Graskop
God's Window is situated on the lip of the Escarpment and impresses every visitor with a wide and impressive view of the Lowveld below in the Kruger Park area.
The majestic cliffs plunge more than 700 meters into the valley.
The attraction is north of Graskop and on the edge of the Drakensberg in Mpumalanga.
One look into the wide valley and you will understand why it is called God's window.
On the right is not autumn but it has burned.

A sculpture of 15 wild horses has crowned a barren Central Washington hillside for more nearly two decades, but the rusted sheets of steel still are an inspiring sight to travelers along busy I- 90.
The 200-foot line of life-size charging horses, the creation of David Govedare of Chewelah, Wash., captures a mystical spirit from a time when real wild horses roamed the steppes.
Titled "Grandfather Cuts Loose the Ponies," the scene symbolically re-creates the Great Spirit turning loose a herd of wild horses above the Columbia River's Wanapum Lake.

Feliz martes de nubes para todos y todas.
This is an HDR shot of Grand central Station, New York. I took the wide view to get the scale of the building in, it actually reminded of a Cathederal and that is why I went for the HDR.The shot was taken about 7 on a Saturday morning so it was not that busy, there were more people than this though, but they were blurred by the long exposure and the HDR process so I decided to take them out during processing, again to emphasise the scale.
In winter, the rice terraces are free from plants, so that the light often reflected in various colors of the sky. When we arrived at the viewpoint pulled fog over the rice fields, but towards the afternoon (as in the picture) the fog lifted .
I think it is a hard work to plant all this fields with rice. With machines may not be working there. The non- water-filled terraces are usually planted with potatoes .
Im Winter sind die Reisterrassen frei von Pflanzen, so dass sich das Licht oft in verschiedenen Farben des Himmels spiegelt. Als wir am Aussichtspunkt ankamen zog Nebel über die Reisfelder, der sich aber zum Nachmittag hin (wie auf dem Bild) lichtete.
Ich denke, es ist ein hartes Stück Arbeit, die vielen Felder mit Reis zu bepflanzen. Mit Maschinen geht dort überhaupt nichts. Die nicht mit Wasser gefüllten Terrassen werden meist mit Kartoffeln bepflanzt.
Danke für deinen Besuch! Thanks for visiting!

Mute Swan on the lake of Saint-Point, Jura, France.
Swan, largest waterfowl species of the subfamily Anserinae, is generally classified in the genus Cygnus. There are around 7 different species of swan found around the world. The size, colour and behaviour a swan individual is largely dependent on it's species and the area in which it lives.
Today swans are a threatened species of animal mainly due to hunting and habitat loss. Pollution (mainly water pollution) is also a major reason as why the swan populations are declining.

Visited my photo friend in Söderköping for two days.
We traveled around the country to photograph.
Near her home is this fairy tale castle, originally from the 16th century, but the current building is significantly younger.
The castle is called Ekenäs, and many strange words and myths are about it.
One of them is: Greve Mauritz Vellingk has got rid of secret actions and the boy who helped him was then wrapped in a secretarial basement not to come out and tell the secret. The renovated room, which has never been opened, is called "Nisses hole". It is said that if space opens, a major accident will hit both the castle and its owners.
Another is on the so-called Hönsagumman, which is said to have saved the castle from hostile attacks and therefore become portrayed, which otherwise was unusual for service people. She still keeps a watchful eye on everyone who enters the castle.
Texture my own.
... and she fought for it every day.
My tribute to Jo Cox
and all the other recent victims of unrestrained violence !
In the Pellenz, an agricultural landscape in the Eastern Eifel, the canola (rapeseed) fields are blooming again. On Monday of this week I stopped by again to take some extensive photos.
In der Pellenz, eine landwirtschaftlich geprägte Landschaft in der Osteifel, blühen wieder die Rapsfelder. Am Montag dieser Woche kam ich dort erneut vorbei um ausgiebig zu fotografieren.

A puddle's eye view or rather iPhone's eye view of Skogafoss ... It is hard to get an original composition at this famous waterfall, so I was glad to find the puddle and thankful to the strangers who walked into my composition ... it was not an easy shot to take with the overwhelming spray so close to the falls, it was hard to 'see' what I was composing ... (do look at it large if you have a moment)
