Hard drive find from one of the most remote places in the American Southwest in new processing:
In the late afternoon, after 61 miles (98 km) of gravel road, we reached Toroweap Point on the north rim of the Grand Canyon. Before I set up the tent on the primitive campsite, I used the beautiful light to explore the area with the camera.
Festplattenfund von einem der abgelegensten Orte des amerikanischen Südwestens in neuer Bearbeitung:
am späten Nachmittag erreichten wir nach 98 km Schotterpiste den Toroweap Point am Nordrand des Grand Canyon. Bevor ich das Zelt auf dem primitiven Campingplatz aufstellte nutzte ich das schöne Licht, um die Umgebung etwas mit der Kamera zu erkunden.
Danke für deinen Besuch! Thanks for visiting!

This offshoot of the Bogor Botanical Gardens was founded in 1862 to study mountain flora. The cinchona (a tropical tree belonging to the madder family) was first brought from South America in 1854 and later cultivated here. The collection now showcases 5,000 montane plants acquired from around the world. At an altitude of 1,200 meters, the serene pastures stretch more than 80 hectares and see cool temperatures averaging 18 degrees Celsius. The charming mountainside panorama adds to the tranquility. This is a gateway to the Gede-Pangrango National Park, Mount Gede and Mount Pangrango.
Location:West Peloponnese/Greece.

Heliconius clysonymus clysonymus Latreille, [1817]
Heliconius clysonymus is distributed from Honduras to Peru. In Colombia it is found in the 3 Andean mountain ranges between 1.200 and 2.300 meters. They are seen in deforested areas and small patches of forest, where they feed on nectar and pollen. The Heliconius are among the longest-living butterflies.

The site is located on the banks of River Jordan at 380 Meters Below Sea Level, just 5 miles North of the Dead Sea, the final destination of the river.
River Jordan gives the pilgrims and tourists alike the feeling of authenticity.
This site is considered a holy place as it is where Jesus Christ was baptized by John the Baptist an event that changed human history and marked the dawn of Christianity.
Also, there is a number of Churches in the area.
Worth visiting. better during cooler months to avoid the Jordan Valley high temperatures.

A friend captured this Hawk with his phone camera. The hawk had swooped down and captured a squirrel to feed upon high in this tree. My friend said he was honored to get this shot. This bird of prey was “Watching The Area” intently when spotting the squirrel. Thanks for viewing this work. Stay kind.
04-May-2022: about turism: my perplexities towards a future with more and more bans and more and more over-taxes.
Lake Bohinj and the much more famous Lake Bled are close (less than 20 km) but the second has a mass tourism now rooted, while the first is expanding its tourist reception in recent years, coming out (unfortunately) from the shadow of Bled, that was a lightning rod for peaceful and symbiotic nature lovers.
I am totally against mass tourism because it transforms a relaxing resort into an area where it is difficult even to access it.
Around Lake Bled, even at a certain distance, there are only paid parking lots, which come to cost 6 euros per hour (about the most decentralized and in May...) that, certainly, leave perplexed about the "tourist selection" that "they" would like to implement (high-end tourism) and, in general, certainly drive away the tourist in search of nature and not restaurants, bars, concrete lake-front and crowd baths.
The naturalist tourist should not feel like a tourist in Nature, which is a single great asset of humanity and that only administratively is divided between various Countries, while in Bled, as in Rimini or Cortina d'Ampezzo, they make you feel not only tourist, but also guest, sometimes unwanted if you spend little.
As tourism increases, so do the bans, because unfortunately mass tourism includes many people who don't know anything about Nature and generally only go to very touristy places to make themselves of...people, sowing dirt and ignorance wherever they move.
The imposition of prohibitions/bans to limit the "damage from mass tourism" affects everyone indiscriminately, including locals and naturalists who have always had a symbiotic relationship with these places, thus making them become inhospitable, at least to those seeking pure contact with nature itself.
Of course this happens all over the world, but it should be condemned.
We already pay State taxes for the maintenance of the slice of Nature that falls within our administration, tourist surcharges, exploiting market laws that should be verified and contained, are for the most part unconstitutional, as well as several prohibitions that deprive access and use of public property.
With the money that the tourist municipalities pocket they could very well implement a targeted prevention (controls by foresters, cameras, ad hoc fences for areas subject to micro-pollution...) rather than closing everything and then de-empowering themself on the maintenance of roads and areas (more and more numerous), thus going to save further, starting from the basic taxes that we pay to also have access to given areas.
I can understand that you tax parking at high altitude to maintain the roads, but the amount of the payment should be directly proportional to the expenses that must be incurred to ensure accessibility, not by putting prices at random and with increases of 200% from one year to the next.
I have always appreciated the fact that Slovenia, thanks also that it is not densely inhabited and has a modest tourism (except precisely Bled, Postojna Caves and the Coast), guarantees a wide accessibility and use of its territories and I hope it can continue, limiting the prohibitions and parking lots everywhere.

I processed a few more photos from my vacation to Bryce so thought I may as well post another. I promise not to post another 25 of them:-))).

Unfortunately, the spruces on the Herikerberg and the surrounding area have been seriously affected by an insect called the European spruce bark beetle. The spruces have weakened after a storm in January 2018 and the subsequent dry summers of 2018 and 2019.
Under these circumstances the trees could not defend themselves well against the bark beetle plague, which caused the death of trees on a large scale.
The affected dead trees are removed for safety and to prevent further spread of the bark beetle.
The felled forests will be replanted and will continue to be maintained as forest.
Helaas zijn de fijnsparren op de Herikerberg en omgeving ernstig aangetast door een insect, genaamd de letterzetter (een kever). De fijnsparren zijn na een storm van januari 2018 en de daarop volgende droge zomers van 2018 en 2019 verzwakt.
Onder deze omstandigheden konden de bomen zich niet goed verweren tegen de letterzetterplaag waardoor op grote schaal bomen zijn afgestorven.
De aangetaste en dode bomen worden weggehaald uit veiligheid en om verdere verspreiding van de letterzetter tegen te gaan.
De gekapte bossen zullen weer opnieuw worden ingeplant en gewoon verder als bos in stand worden gehouden.

Audubon’s Oriole is primarily a species of both coasts of Mexico, with a small population in southern Texas, USA. This individual was seen at the Salineno Birding Area near the Rio Grande, in keeping with a preference for riparian areas.
The other day we drove down to Elk Rapids to a Walk in the Park. Nice to be out side too. Packed a lunch and although it was cool we sat in the car had lunch and enjoyed this view.

Never seen this mixture of rocks and asphalt in other countries than the Netherlands.
It's a steep climb down into this bay. So not many people get to it. Th area was an old coal mining district long ago. On the bottom of the cliff on the left you can see the entrance to a mine shaft. Long since sealed the miner s must have figured it was easier to enter at the level of the coal seam rather than dig down

or so they tell us--for a bit at least. It's been one blast after another for months, it seems!

Portal Falls is located at Mt Whitney the highest peak in the Sierra Nevada range as well as the contiguous United states at 14,505 feet. Whitney portal Road that takes adventures up the mountain dead ends at a campground, picnic area, two waterfalls, and trails that traverse Mt. Whitney. The area is a beautiful place and was exceptionally cooler than the temperatures at lower elevations, we are experiencing triple digit weather right now. Wish I could have stayed there instead of heading for home.
