Forma parte del "Parque Nacional Bernardo O'Higgins", en la región de Magallanes. Navegando por el fiordo Última Esperanza, se encuentra a 3 horas y media en barco desde (Puerto Natales). Y luego, hay que caminar por un sendero, bordeando la Laguna Serrano, hasta ver la vista de la foto.
Single Form, by Barbara Hepworth.
This sculpture stands in Battersea Park London, on the South shore of the lake, and is a smaller version of the one that stands at the United Nations in New York.
The first cast was made in 1963, and was displayed in an open air sculpture exhibition in Battersea Park.
In October that year, It was was shipped to America. It was donated to the Johns Hopkins University, and displayed in Washington D.C.
A second cast was also made in 1963, and was bought by the London County Council and installed at Battersea Park. (pictured here)
Hepworth doubled the size for a casting that would become the largest bronze artwork ever cast at Morris Singer's London foundry.
It was commissioned for the United Nations building, and was erected in New York in May 1964. This bigger version weighs 5.5 tonnes, and stands 6.4m high.
It has now stood at the United Nations for 60 years.

For folks that follow nature's calendar, autumn arrived today on September 1st. I guess it's fitting that autumn coralroot would be blooming to bring in the fall season. The entire plant only grows about six inches tall and the flowers are tiny -about 5 mm max. Autumn coralroot is an uncommon orchid that has no leaves and gets all its nutrition from soil fungi, Tomentella in particular. This fungi also forms a nutrient-sharing relationship with the surrounding old-growth oak trees, so nature weaves quite the tangled web of life here.

A pair of retired form MARC commuter rail units sit derelict stored on the property of shortline Columbia and Reading. GP40WH-2s 56 and 58 were heavily rebuilt by Morrison–Knudsen from GP40 freight units (originally IC 3040 and PC 3141 respectively) gaining flared SD45 radiators and wide noses from old F45s at that time. They served as primary MARC power from 1994 until sometime between 2009 and 2011 when the fleet was sold off excepting one retained for non-revenue service. Purchased by M-K successor Motive Power Inc. many were remanufactured again into MP32PH-Q locomotives for use on SunRail as seen in this recent image I shared: flic.kr/p/2kVW4Uj But these particular two have languished here for years along with sisters 54 and 57 which recently departed. It appears that MPI successor Wabtec sold all four to Staunton, VA based Precision Locomotive Leasing account all four are listed on their website here: www.pnlxrail.com/locomotives so maybe their story isn't over just yet!

Beim Streifzug letztes Wochenende durch den Bergwald war ich fasziniert, wie viele verschiedene Formen und Farben von Pilzen es gibt. Wie dieser Bewohner heißt, weiß ich nicht, aber er hat schon ein faszinierendes Aussehen....ich wünsche Euch Allen einen schönen Sonntag
Nachtrag: lt. Siegfried ist es ein Violetter Lacktrichterling...
At 144 feet, Dettifoss is impressive to say the least. The spray alone forms hundreds of mini waterfalls on the west side of the canyon as well as influences the entire habitat of the west side. Notice the east side of the canyon is dry and rocky and the west side is green and lush far into the distance.
The roar of the falls greets you the moment you leave your car, long before you make the short hike down to the cliffs.
Taken about 30 mins before sunset.

Rivotorto è una frazione della celebre Assisi, in Umbria, centro Italia. All'ingresso della frazione ci accoglie una scultura/fontana a forma di rivo storto. Nel paese si trova il santuario francescano Sacro Tugurio e una statua di San Francesco che guarisce un malato di lebbra, opera di Fiorenzo Bacci. Questo e altro nella mia passeggiata durante una splendida giornata di sole a Rivotorto. 12 foto.
Rivotorto is a fraction of the famous Assisi, in Umbria, central Italy. At the entrance to the hamlet, a sculpture / fountain in the shape of a crooked stream welcomes us. In the town there is the Franciscan sanctuary Sacro Tugurio and a statue of San Francesco healing a leprosy patient, the work of Fiorenzo Bacci. This and more in my walk during a splendid sunny day in Rivotorto. 12 photos.

60026 HELVELLYN draws its train off Ribblehead Viaduct.
Running a little late after frozen points at Blea Moor Up Goods Loop delayed the run round, the MOM was despatched to free the points.
The train is 6M37, 11.25 Arcow Quarry to Pendleton and this is a later frame than previously posted.
The vast bulk of Whernside dominates the backdrop and it's rare these days to get a full covering of snow on it. Inglebrough and Penyghent seem to attract more snow.
The highest of Yorkshire's mountains at 2,415 feet, it's an enjoyable climb offering many different routes. I've been up there six times and it provides a great view of Ribblehead Viaduct.

Frigorífico Anglo del Uruguay
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Frigorífico Anglo del Uruguay was a meatpacking plant located at Fray Bentos, Uruguay, on the Uruguay River bank.
In 1924, the Vestey group purchases the old installations of Liebig Extract of Meat Company and the production goes on under a new name.
During its peak period, El Anglo had 5,000 workers whose ranks included English, Belgians, Russians, Spanish and Italians. It finally closed in 1979 after Europe and the United States had cut back their purchases from Latin America. Small brick houses with thick walls running along the river's edge in Fray Bentos form the "Barrio Anglo," a city-within-a-city where meatpacking workers lived that featured a hospital, a school, a social club and a football squad.[1]

This QM was the size of a Comma - but had the diagnostic question mark on its wings below. Black is their summer form - and they have that beautiful lavender trim.

Watson Lake was formed during the early 1900s by the construction of a dam on Granite Creek. It is a reservoir for the City of Prescott, AZ and is located about 4 miles outside of the city. It is known for its scenic granite dells. The area has camping and picnic facilities, but when we visited on a late September afternoon we only encountered another photographer and a couple of hikers and the lake was remarkably tranquil.
Prescott is located in central AZ and at an elevation of just over a mile so it is both cooler and greener than the Phoenix metropolitan area. The city was the territorial capital of Arizona in 1867 and the downtown area holds on to its history with numerous small shops and restaurants in an area surrounding the Yavapai County Courthouse and park. One of the streets adjacent to the courthouse is known as "Whiskey Row" and apparently was a notorious red light district.

Crimson Rosella
Platycercus elegans
Description: There are several colour forms of the Crimson Rosella. The form it is named for has mostly crimson (red) plumage and bright blue cheeks. The feathers of the back and wing coverts are black broadly edged with red. The flight feathers of the wings have broad blue edges and the tail is blue above and pale blue below and on the outer feathers. Birds from northern Queensland are generally smaller and darker than southern birds. The 'Yellow Rosella' has the crimson areas replaced with light yellow and the tail more greenish. The 'Adelaide Rosella' is intermediate in colour, ranging from yellow with a reddish wash to dark orange. Otherwise, all the forms are similar in pattern. Young Crimson Rosellas have the characteristic blue cheeks, but the remainder of the body plumage is green-olive to yellowish olive (occasionally red in some areas). The young bird gradually attains the adult plumage over a period of 15 months
Similar species: The adult Crimson Rosella is similar to male Australian King-Parrots, but differs by having blue cheeks, shoulders, and tail, a whitish, rather than red, bill and a dark eye. Immature Crimson Rosellas also differ from female and immature King-Parrots by having blue cheeks, a whitish bill and a more yellow-green rather than dark green colouring.
Distribution: There are several populations of the Crimson Rosella. Red (crimson) birds occur in northern Queensland, in southern Queensland to south-eastern South Australia and on Kangaroo Island. Orange birds are restricted to the Flinders Ranges region of South Australia, while yellow ones are found along the Murray, Murrumbidgee and neighbouring rivers (where yellow birds meet red birds they hybridise, producing orange offspring). Red birds have been introduced to Norfolk Island and New Zealand.
Habitat: Throughout its range, the Crimson Rosella is commonly associated with tall eucalypt and wetter forests.
Feeding: Crimson Rosellas are normally encountered in small flocks and are easily attracted to garden seed trays. Once familiar with humans, they will accept hand held food. Natural foods include seeds of eucalypts, grasses and shrubs, as well as insects and some tree blossoms.
Breeding: The Crimson Rosella's nest is a tree hollow, located high in a tree, and lined with wood shavings and dust. The female alone incubates the white eggs, but both sexes care for the young. The chicks remain dependent on their parents for a further 35 days after leaving the nest.
Calls: The Crimson Rosella has a range of calls, the commonest being a two-syllabled "cussik-cussik". It also has a range of harsh screeches and metallic whistles.
Minimum Size: 32cm
Maximum Size: 36cm
Average size: 34cm
Average weight: 129g
Breeding season: September to January
Clutch Size: 4 to 8 (usually 5)
Incubation: 20 days
Nestling Period: 35 days

Photography is all about memories for me. One of my favourite shots of all time is a photograph I took of my children walking ahead of me around a local reservoir, with a seven year old Nicky looking back towards me, a protective arm around her little brother. I'd not long purchased my first SLR camera, a second hand Praktica, at a time when there were still some years of film ahead of most of us before digital cameras became what they are today. Now the two subjects of that family jewel are aged 30 and 28, yet all these years later that memory; that sense of simple pleasure at being where we were shines right through the photo as if it were frozen in time.
Photography, always something I've enjoyed, became a more urgent obsession around six years ago when Lee and Dave suggested I join their newly formed gang. Before I knew it I'd bought a Canon 70D and a couple of reasonably priced lenses, and my initiation into the world of landscape photography was complete. What I hadn't realised at that time was how many fantastic memories the adventure ahead of me would bring. What I'd never considered was that the new hobby would take me to places I'd barely dreamed of before. Places like Iceland. I was aware that Iceland was sparsely populated and dramatic, but I'd also heard that the beer in Reykjavik cost twelve pounds a pint and that it was cold all year round. It seemed unlikely that I'd ever really consider going there until Nigel Danson, Tom Heaton and a veritable flood of other YouTube influencers began to demonstrate to me exactly why I should stop worrying about the price of the beer and get on the plane.
Lee and I hired a VW camper in the summer of 2019 and spent a week touring the Snaefellsnes peninsula and then the ring road, a journey which brought us here to Skogafoss on the final evening. It was one of the locations we'd looked most forward to seeing. What's not to love about about a 60 metre high, 25 metre wide single drop waterfall? What makes it really compelling is that you can stand right in front of it - and by that I mean at just a few metres distance where you can listen in wonder to the thundering sound of thousands of gallons of water hitting the shallow basin at your feet each second. You'll get wet - possibly soaked in fact, but it will be worth it. It's like no other experience I've ever hand. Iceland has some huge and epic waterfalls, but you can't stand in front of them all like this.
Our plan to photograph Skogafoss involved the use of plastic sandwich bags to protect the cameras from the spray, despite us having stationed them at a judicious distance from the waterfall. This initially drew some bemused expressions from those around us, although later we caught some of them racing for their tents and vehicles before returning to the scene, armed with sandwich bags of their own. Once the last few strays had left the scene, I ran across the space between the cameras and the waterfall in my welly boots like an excited seven year old, over and over again until we'd got the shots we wanted.
See that little speck standing in front of the almighty drop? Yes, that's me, taking an overdue shower after a week in a VW campervan, enjoying a moment that will last forever. Who'd have guessed before they started out that a love of photography could bring memories as good as this?
Taking form
from deep dark places
like long forgotten dreams
thinning the veil

An image I’ve been pondering over for a while. It was nearly the first photo to post on my return from the Lakes early November but for some reason I didn’t and moved on to other images, now with 4 seascapes in row it was time to move inland.
