Hoodoos take millions of years to form and stand 5 to 7 metres tall. Each hoodoo is a sandstone pillar resting on a thick base of shale that is capped by a large stone. Hoodoos are very fragile and can erode completely if their capstone is dislodged (in other words, no climbing allowed). The protected Hoodoos site is a guaranteed spot to see Hoodoos but smaller versions of these sandstone giants can be found all over the Badlands.

Esta pequeña plaza medieval se encuentra en pleno centro de Pontevedra, presidida por la original Capela da Virxe Peregrina, con su planta en forma de vieira, que alberga la imagen de la patrona.
Encrucijada de varias calles y que como nota curiosa alberga la figura del loro Ravachol, propiedad del farmacéutico Perfecto Feijoo, que vivió en la botica que se encontraba en ese lugar.
Vivió en Pontevedra entre 1891 y 1913 y está considerado el loro más famoso del mundo, ya que fue conocido y querido por toda la ciudad por su carisma, simpatía y carácter alborotador y personalidad rebelde.
El simpático animal identificaba algunas situaciones para aplicar sus frases, casi siempre en gallego, que pronto se hicieron populares como (“se collo a vara” “vaite de ahí lambón” “aquí non se fía” …).
Los clientes le regalaban caramelos y golosinas para no recibir ninguna de sus dedicatorias.
Sus insultos llegaron a personas tan importantes como la escritora Emilia Pardo Bazán.
También llegó a decir alguna de sus inapropiadas frases en plena misa, e incluso fue elegido para actuar en el teatro, pero el indisciplinado loro dijo lo que quiso y pronto lo retiraron de escena.
Se dice que la causa de su muerte fue un empacho de bizcochos mojados en vino.
Los pontevedreses quedaron realmente afectados por la mala noticia y decidieron organizar una calurosa despedida para decir adiós a un referente de la ciudad.
A Don Perfecto le llegaron telegramas de toda la geografía española para dar el pésame por su enorme pérdida y también le instalaron una capilla ardiente en la propia farmacia.
Actualmente se recrea el velatorio y entierro del Loro Ravachol en el carnaval de la ciudad, celebración que cierra la semana del carnaval pontevedrés.
Curiosa historia, verdad?

Pho Khun Ngam Mueang Memorial
Bangkok Post: The Pho Khun Ngam Mueang Memorial is located in the public park on the bank of Kwan Phayao. It commemorates a former king of Phayao, or Phu Kam Yao, who was in power some 700 years ago. During his reign, the state prospered and expanded its territory. As a close ally of King Mengrai, the ruler of Chiang Rai, and King Ramkhamhaeng of Sukhothai, they formed an alliance of harmony, loyalty and non-aggression.

Ama. Si no puedes amar mucho, no enseñes a niños.
2. Simplifica. Saber es simplificar sin quitar esencia.
3. Insiste. Repite como la naturaleza repite las especies hasta alcanzar la perfección.
4. Enseña con intención de hermosura, porque la hermosura es madre.
5. Maestro, sé fervoroso. Para encender lámparas basta llevar fuego en el corazón.
6. Vivifica tu clase. Cada lección ha de ser viva como un ser.
7. Acuérdate de que tu oficio no es mercancía sino oficio divino.
8. Acuérdate. Para dar hay que tener mucho.
9. Antes de dictar tu lección cotidiana mira a tu corazón y ve si está puro.
10. Piensa en que Dios se ha puesto a crear el mundo de mañana.

Pyramid Lake is a reservoir formed by Pyramid Dam on Piru Creek in the eastern San Emigdio Mountains, near Castaic, Southern California. It is a part of the West Branch California Aqueduct, which is a part of the California State Water Project. Its water is fed by the system after being pumped up from the San Joaquin Valley and through the Tehachapi Mountains.
In 1843, gold was discovered near what is now Pyramid Lake, in the Santa Feliciana Canyon, just south of what is now Pyramid Dam. The small find failed to trigger a rush to the mountainous countryside. Only Francisco Lopes, owner of Rancho Temescal, a Mexican land grant, and a handful of ranchers attempted to settle the region.
This lake was created in 1972, and completed in 1973, as a holding reservoir for the California State Water Project. The lake was named after a pyramid-shaped rock carved out by engineers building U.S. Route 99. Travelers between Los Angeles and Bakersfield christened the landmark “Pyramid Rock,” which still stands just adjacent to the dam.
Pyramid Lake is the deepest lake in the California Water Project system, built up along the steep canyon walls surrounding Piru Creek.
The 180,000 acre⋅ft (220,000,000 m3) reservoir lies on the border between the Angeles National Forest and the Los Padres National Forest, in the northwestern portion of Los Angeles County. It is to the west of Interstate 5 (I-5) south of Tejon Pass. The former alignment of US 99 is below the waters here, replaced by I-5.
Pyramid Lake seen from the air with the Pacific Ocean in the distance. Just below the dam, Piru Creek returns to its natural state as it winds down through the Topatopa Mountains to feed into the Lake Piru reservoir and later the Santa Clara River. Pumps carry water from Pyramid Lake to Castaic Lake, which is the terminus of the west branch of the aqueduct. Pyramid and Castaic act as the upper and lower reservoirs for a 1,495-megawatt pumped storage hydroelectric plant.

Großer Brachvogel (Numenius arquata) - (eurasion) curlew
de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gro%C3%9Fer_Brachvogel
Der Große Brachvogel (Numenius arquata) ist eine Vogelart aus der Familie der Schnepfenvögel (Scolopacidae). Es werden zwei Unterarten unterschieden. Die Nominatform ist in Mitteleuropa ein zunehmend seltener Brut- und Sommervogel. Die Rote Liste der Brutvögel Deutschlands von 2015 führt die Art in der Kategorie 1 als vom Aussterben bedroht.[1] Er ist während der Zugzeiten ein regelmäßiger Durchzügler und Rastvogel, der gebietsweise auch überwintert.[2]
In Deutschland war der Große Brachvogel im Jahre 1982 Vogel des Jahres.
Beschreibung
Der Große Brachvogel ist etwa 50 bis 60 cm lang und wiegt zwischen 600 und 1000 Gramm. Die Flügelspannweite beträgt 80 bis 100 cm. Die Vögel sind die größten Watvögel, und sie sind in Europa die häufigsten Vertreter der Brachvögel. Charakteristisches Kennzeichen des Großen Brachvogels ist der lange und stark nach unten gekrümmte Schnabel. Das Weibchen ist etwas größer als das Männchen und hat einen deutlich stärker gebogenen und längeren Schnabel. Ansonsten sehen die Geschlechter gleich aus.
Große Brachvögel sind eher unscheinbar gefärbt. Der Kopf, der Hals, die Brust die Körperoberseite sind fahl beigebraun mit dunklen Streifen und Flecken. Die Wangen sind dunkel gestrichelt und kontrastieren dadurch mit dem hellen Kinn- und Kehlfleck. Die Brust ist etwas kräftiger gestreift und wird zum Bauch hin heller. Im Flug wird der weiße Bürzel sichtbar, der mit dem weißen Rücken einen weißen Keil bildet.
Eurasian curlew
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eurasian_curlew
The Eurasian curlew or common curlew (Numenius arquata) is a wader in the large family Scolopacidae. It is one of the most widespread of the curlews, breeding across temperate Europe and Asia. In Europe, this species is often referred to just as the "curlew", and in Scotland known as the "whaup" in Scots.
This is the largest wader in its range, at 50–60 cm (20–24 in) in length, with an 89–106 cm (35–42 in) wingspan and a body weight of 410–1,360 g (0.90–3.00 lb).[2] It is mainly greyish brown, with a white back, greyish-blue legs and a very long curved bill. Males and females look identical, but the bill is longest in the adult female. It is generally not possible to recognize the sex of a single Eurasian curlew, or even several ones, as there is much variation; telling male and female of a mated pair apart is usually possible however.
The familiar call is a loud curloo-oo.
The only similar species over most of the curlew's range is the whimbrel (N. phaeopus). The whimbrel is smaller and has a shorter bill with a kink rather than a smooth curve. Flying curlews may also resemble bar-tailed godwits (Limosa lapponica) in their winter plumages; however, the latter have a smaller body, a slightly upturned beak, and legs that do not reach far beyond their tail tips. The Eurasian curlew's feet are longer, forming a conspicuous "point".
The curlew exists as a migratory species over most of its range, wintering in Africa, southern Europe and south Asia. Occasionally a vagrant individual reaches places far from its normal range, such as Nova Scotia[3] and the Marianas.[4][5] It is present all year in the milder climates of Ireland and the United Kingdom and its adjacent European coasts.
Allium cernuum (or ladies leek) is one of the smallest and most delicate plants in our garden. As a consequence it receives a lot of care . The whole plant is only 6 inches high the flowers are tiny forming on slender erect stems, nodding at the tips. Its not a plant I see in many gardens. it is very slow to spread the small area I have of them may have just about doubled in size in fifteen years. you may have to bend down low to see it but its a gorgeous little plant

View form Trail Ridge Road (highest continuous paved road in the US reaching elevation of 12,183 feet), Rocky Mountain National Park, Colorado. Driving on this road is little nerve wrecking, but in the end rewarded by breathtaking scenery. Changing elevation takes you from tree lines to alpine tundra which has very fragile ecosystem. Weather up top is ever changing and highly unpredictable.
