In a biogeographic definition, paramo is any intertropical mountain ecosystem, characterized by shrubby vegetation that generally occurs from altitudes of about 3,000 to 4,000 meters or up to 5,000 meters, that is, in regions above the forest line. continuous but still below the permanent snow line. It is found in East Africa, New Guinea, and Central and South America. However, since in each of these regions this ecosystem has a specific name, when discussing Paramos, we refer specifically to Andean Paramos.
In this strict sense of the term, all Paramos are located in the neotropical zone, mainly in northwestern South America, present in Venezuela, Colombia, Peru and Ecuador. The ecosystem occupies over 30,000 km² of South America and represents 7% of Ecuador's territory. In absolute terms, Colombia is home to 50% of the extent of Paramos (in its three branches of the Andes) and the largest Paramo in the world (Sumapaz).
Paramos' climate is characterized by wide daily fluctuations in temperature and humidity. In general, cold and humid, can undergo a sudden and drastic change in which temperatures fluctuate from below freezing to 30 ° C plus in a daily freeze-thaw cycle. High altitude in tropical locations produces a special, cold, low air density atmosphere that allows for greater dispersion of ultraviolet radiation (light and heat). This climate can be summed up in the phrase "winter every night and summer every day."
In Paramo ecosystems, soils are generally recent, of glacial and volcanic origin, and many are still in formation. Its structure is a combination of organic material that decomposes very slowly in cold weather with volcanic ash. They usually have low pH (acidity) because of the abundance of moisture and high content of organic matter. These characteristics contribute to soil water retention, which in turn is the basis of an essential environmental service: the constant storage and distribution of clean water to lower places.
The largest and most known area is the Páramo grass, which covers large areas of the mountain ranges. It extends from approximately 3,500 to 4,100 m in height, and is mainly composed of grasses and small shrubs.
Aging has been defined as the collection of changes that render beings progressively more likely to die
i looked down from the summit
and what did i see? me.

me, me, me, me, me, me, me.
i hope our european friends realize
we still wanna be friends...
we can play nice.
Generational definitions are most useful when they span a set age range and so allow meaningful comparisons across generations. That is why the generations today each span 15 years with Generation Y (Millennials) born from 1980 to 1994; Generation Z from 1995 to 2009 and Generation Alpha from 2010 to 2024. And so it follows that Generation Beta will be born from 2025 to 2039.

Apps: I used Photoshop Express to remove some haze, which gave more definition to the sky. Then overlaid that sky onto the original in Pixelmator. I used Lightroom to remove some noise, and finished with a frame in PhotoToaster.

I visited Melusina Parkin's exhibition " Forgotten Things" at the Kondor Art Gallery, and how it happened it inspired me to shoot this? if you have any clue, please tell me... All I can guess is Melusina Parkin is an inspiring photographer!
Everyone has their own definition of what "Handmade" means to them and what they visualise those "types" in their mind. I have photographed here 2 distinctive polarities. Firstly you'll see a crafted shot of individual small pieces of paper positioned, fanned and curved to capture light and structure. (Then) Secondly, you'll see the finesse of "Handmade" with the skill of a master in watchmaking ... and of course with all photography with it likes and dislikes it's very much in the eye of the beholder.

L'atmosphère y est très lumineuse par beau temps et la pastoralisme y est pratiqué même au-delà de 2000 mètres.
Atmosphere is very luminous when weather is fine and pastoralism is practised even above 2000 meters.
The fourth in my series wherein I attempted to define the 'space' of a particular location, not necessarily trying to take a picture of any one subject or element.
Here a fenced off demolition site where I had to lean in through an opening in the fence.
So I went Spider Hunting last night and thankfully, despite the frequent thunderstorms as of late, a good few webs with occupants were still available. Albeit some were at incredibly awkward angles, this ferocious girl was tucking into its most recent capture as I came by, her fangs are quite visible which I was happy about, as so often I come across them and they're already masticating down on whatever they caught that day, so I end up with an interesting face but the fangs are occupied with a half devoured bug.
I hope everyone is well and so as always, thank you! :)

By "ancient" definition, a thunderstorm is a precipitation of VARIOUS intensity (even weak) accompanied by at least 1 lightning and 1 thunder and here we are, there's a bit of everything, even a rainbow band...😂
Here I'm a few kilometers East of the previous photo, on the bank that protects the Fossalon cultivated lowlands from high tide and occasional storm surges, looking north-east.
The embankment is decidedly "wild"😂, full of vegetation, but I think this photo deserved to be taken despite the jungla-embankment.

Definition: On the morning of April 19, 1995, Oklahoma City became forever linked to one of the nation's most horrific events. Timothy McVeigh, who would later be executed for the crime, parked a truck full of explosives in front of the Alfred P. Murrah federal building in downtown Oklahoma City. The explosion was felt for miles, and 168 people were killed.
