Badwater Basin, Death Valley National Park. The fairly rare water on the salt flats ended up being the biggest attraction on this trip, and with mild temperatures and little wind, it stuck around for over a week. the salt polygon patterns are caused via thermal expansion cracks in the rock salt, which allow salty water from the shallow water table below to seep up via capillary action. As it dries, it leaves raised polygons of salt. They can be an inch or two high, or sometimes 8-10" high!

As I walk through this wicked world
Searchin′ for light in the darkness of insanity
I ask myself, is all hope lost?
Is there only pain and hatred and misery?
And each time I feel like this inside
There's one thing I wanna know
What′s so funny 'bout peace, love and understanding? Oh
What's so funny ′bout peace love and understanding?
And as I walked on
Through troubled times
My spirit gets so downhearted sometimes
So where are the strong
And who are the trusted?
And where is the harmony?
Sweet harmony
′Cause each time I feel it slippin' away, just makes me wanna cry
What′s so funny 'bout peace, love and understanding? Oh
What′s so funny 'bout peace, love and understanding?
So where are the strong?
And who are the trusted?
And where is the harmony?
Sweet harmony
′Cause each time I feel it slippin' away, just makes me wanna cry
What's so funny ′bout peace, love and understanding? Oh
What′s so funny 'bout peace, love and understanding? Oh
What′s so funny 'bout peace, love and understanding?

One of the main attractions of the Anhinga Trail in Florida's Everglades National Park is the opportunity to see and photograph birds up close. This Great Blue Heron was wearing its breeding plumage, with thick, shaggy plumes on its back and neck, when my wife and I were there in January. And it landed on the boardwalk railing right in front of us.

Croatia is a country in Southeast Europe. It borders Slovenia to the northwest, Hungary to the northeast, Serbia to the east, Bosnia and Herzegovina, and Montenegro to the southeast, sharing a maritime border with Italy. Croatia was part of the former Yugoslavia. A population of 4 million, most of whom are Catholics. Zagreb is the capital. Balanced between the Balkans and Central Europe, this country has been passed between rival kingdoms, empires and republics for thousands of years. If there is an advantage to this ongoing disruption, it is in the rich cultural legacy each has left behind. From Venetian palaces, Napoleonic fortresses, Slavic churches, Viennese mansions to socialist sculptures. But most attraction is the coastline with the remarkable clarity of the water and white pebbly beach. Despite being the fastest rising holiday destination in Europe in the past decade, Croatia still doesn't feel overrun by tourists. There are long sandy and winding beaches too, perfect for lazy days. Croatia is a beautiful country to discover many different landscapes. Dubrovnik is according to many one of the most beautiful cities on the Adriatic coast. This city in Croatia is also called the Pearl of the Adriatic. The historic center, or rather the completely walled fortress city of Dubrovnik, is on the list of UNESCO World Heritage. This part is still in a remarkably good condition. A wonderful place to discover on foot, it is a city with a diverse, but also rough past. Remarkably, the Gothic, Renaissance and Baroque churches, as well as the various monasteries, palaces and fountains have been preserved. They all tell their own story from the Middle Ages.
Dubrovnik is a city on the Adriatic Sea in southern Croatia. It is one of the most prominent tourist destinations in the Mediterranean Sea. The history of the city probably dates back to the 7th century. The city is completely surrounded by defensive walls and fortresses. Franciscan Church and Monastery is situated at the Placa, the main street of Dubrovnik. It's a large complex consists of a monastery, a church, a library and a pharmacy. This church is lovely inside. The library contains over 70,000 books.The earliest monastery was built in the 13th century. The monastery was built in 1360 in late Romanesque style. A beautiful cloister garden hidden away from the busy tourist places in Dubrovnik. Peaceful and silent despite being in the heart of the old city this is a tiny and unexpected oasis of green within historic architecture. Still a sacred place but with a small museum of artefacts and paintings. The pharmacy dates from 1317 and is the oldest still functioning pharmacy in the Europe Photo taken from 14th-century fortress Tvrđava Minčeta located at the highest point of Dubrovnik offering panoramic city & sea views.
Kroatië is een land in Zuidoost-Europa. Het grenst aan Slovenië in het noordwesten, Hongarije in het noordoosten, Servië in het oosten, Bosnië-Herzegovina en Montenegro in het zuidoosten en deelt een maritieme grens met Italië. Kroatië maakte deel uit van het voormalige Joegoslavië. Een bevolking van 4 miljoen, van wie de meesten katholiek zijn. Zagreb is de hoofdstad. In evenwicht tussen de Balkan en Centraal-Europa, wordt dit land al duizenden jaren doorgegeven tussen rivaliserende koninkrijken, rijken en republieken. De meeste attractie is de kustlijn met de opmerkelijke helderheid van het water en het witte kiezelstrand. Ondanks dat het de afgelopen tien jaar de snelst stijgende vakantiebestemming in Europa is, voelt Kroatië zich nog steeds niet overspoeld door toeristen. Dubrovnik is volgens velen één van de mooiste steden van de Adriatische kust. Deze stad wordt ook wel de 'Parel van de Adriatische Zee' genoemd. De compleet ommuurde vestingstad van Dubrovnik, staat op de lijst van Werelderfgoed van UNESCO. Dit deel is nog in een opvallend goede staat. Een heerlijke plek om te voet te ontdekken. De stad Dubrovnik is volledig omgeven door verdedigingsmuren en forten. De Franciscaanse kerk en klooster is gelegen aan de Placa, de hoofdstraat van Dubrovnik. Het is een groot complex dat bestaat uit een klooster, een kerk, een bibliotheek en een apotheek. Deze kerk is prachtig van binnen. De bibliotheek bevat meer dan 70.000 boeken. Het eerste klooster werd gebouwd in de 13e eeuw. Een prachtige kloostertuin verborgen weg van de drukke toeristenplaatsen in Dubrovnik. Vreedzaam en stil ondanks dat je in het hart van de oude stad bent. Het is een kleine en onverwachte oase van groen binnen de historische architectuur. Nog steeds een heilige plaats, maar met een klein museum van kunstvoorwerpen en schilderijen. De apotheek dateert uit 1317 en is de oudste nog functionerende apotheek in Europa. Foto genomen vanaf het 14e-eeuwse fort Tvrđava Minčeta, gelegen op het hoogste punt van Dubrovnik, met panoramisch uitzicht op de stad en de zee.
