Love is the flower of life, and blossoms unexpectedly and without law, and must be plucked where it is found, and enjoyed for the brief hour of its duration.

Cañón de Añisclo, Sobrarbe, Huesca, Aragón, España.
El cañón de Añisclo o del río Bellos se sitúa en el Pirineo de Huesca, comunidad autónoma de Aragón, España, al sur del macizo de Monte Perdido, discurriendo rectilíneamente en dirección Sur durante más de 10 km, desde el Circo de Añisclo a los pies del mismo Monte Perdido, hasta la confluencia con el valle del río Aso.
El cañón de Añisclo forma parte del parque nacional de Ordesa y Monte Perdido, junto con el macizo de Monte Perdido, Valle de Ordesa, las Gargantas de Escuaín y la cabecera del valle de Pineta.
Al norte, el Circo de Añisclo está cerrado por el Collado de Añisclo, entre el Monte Perdido y la Sierra de las Sucas, paso a 2500 metros de altitud que comunica con el Valle de Pineta. Al Oeste, la Sierra Custodia y el Mondicieto separan a este valle del Valle de Ordesa, mientras que al Este, tras otra cresta, se encuentran las Gargantas de Escuaín.
Se trata de un impresionante valle, que en su cabecera tiene un circo glaciar, pero que posteriormente se encajona en un profundo cañón, fruto de la acción kárstica del agua del río sobre la roca caliza, en una sucesión de bellos toboganes y cascadas, entre los que hay que reseñar la Fuen Blanca o Fon Blanca, un nacimiento en la pared vertical del Pico de Añisclo (o Soum de Ramond) que se desploma verticalmente sobre el valle. En los sitios en los que el terreno y la altura permiten el crecimiento de vegetación, la gran humedad y la casi permanente sombra del profundo cañón, producen tupidos bosques como la Selva Plana.
A la altura de la ermita de San Úrbez, el cañón del Bellos se encajona más si cabe y toma dirección NW-SE hasta la localidad de Escalona.
The Añisclo canyon or the Bellos river is located in the Pyrenees of Huesca, autonomous community of Aragon, Spain, south of the Monte Perdido massif, running straight south for more than 10 km, from the Circo de Añisclo at the foot from Monte Perdido itself, up to the confluence with the Aso river valley.
The Añisclo canyon is part of the Ordesa y Monte Perdido National Park, together with the Monte Perdido massif, Ordesa Valley, the Escuaín Gorges and the head of the Pineta Valley.
To the north, the Circo de Añisclo is closed by the Collado de Añisclo, between the Monte Perdido and the Sierra de las Sucas, a pass at an altitude of 2500 meters that communicates with the Pineta Valley. To the west, the Sierra Custodia and the Mondicieto separate this valley from the Ordesa Valley, while to the east, behind another ridge, are the Escuaín Gorges.
It is an impressive valley, which has a glacial cirque at its head, but which is later encased in a deep canyon, the result of the karst action of the river water on the limestone rock, in a succession of beautiful slides and waterfalls, between The ones to be highlighted are the Fuen Blanca or Fon Blanca, a source in the vertical wall of Pico de Añisclo (or Soum de Ramond) that falls vertically over the valley. In places where the terrain and height allow the growth of vegetation, the high humidity and the almost permanent shadow of the deep canyon, they produce dense forests such as the Flat Jungle.
At the height of the hermitage of San Úrbez, the Bellos canyon becomes more confined if possible and takes a NW-SE direction to the town of Escalona.
One of a group of four Konica/Minolta cameras purchased together for under $10. It's funny how these point-and-shoot film cameras are now in vogue again. What's old is new again, eh?
