The Salar contains a large amount of sodium, potassium, lithium and magnesium as well as borax. With an estimated 9,000,000 t, Bolivia holds about 7% of the world's known lithium resources; most of those are in the Salar de Uyuni.
"Nature is impersonal, awe-inspiring, elegant, eternal. It's geometrically perfect. It's tiny and gigantic. You can travel far to be in a beautiful natural setting, or you can observe it in your backyard...."

To truly notice the enormous size of this platform and its moais, it’s ideal to walk around the back. As with the other ahu, at some point in history, the Rapa Nui Moai toppled the Tongariki. But beyond that, the earthquake that measured 9.5 points on the Richter scale, which struck the Chilean coast of Valdivia in 1960, caused a large tsunami in the Pacific Ocean; with waves that reached up to 11 meters high in Easter Island, waves that hit the ahu and dragged the moai up to 100 meters inland, damaging them significantly.
These are probably the largest lilies that I've come across. There were a few stems of these growing in a local park's garden this past summer.
Thank you for your views and comments, they're so appreciated! Have a great day!
I do not normally us a phone for Photography, but here I wanted to have as much I could of the Cloud, so I used the phone to take a quick panorama shot of the Cloud.
This monster of a Cloud was moving very fast towards me, in this image it has not reach the Power Windturbines yet. the left side of the Cloud moved faster than the right side of the Cloud. The size of the Cloud is enourmous, you have to see it in real life to get how big it is, the Windturbines are 45 meters (148 feet) high, the Cloud are several kilometers/miles wide, the distance from the far left wind turbine to the far right wind turbine is 500 meter ( 1640 feet). Just before the Cloud arrived to the Coast, there was severe Wind and when it arrived to the Coast it started with where heavy Rain.
It was very impressive !
These gigantic, dark green/black philodendron leaves with the starkly graphic veins and subtle swirling patterns in the darker areas are pieces of art in themselves. Press "L" to see the patterns better.
I first encountered this plant in the Lincoln Park Botanical Garden in Chicago and its leaves were even larger and longer with the same striking characteristics but that image didn't turn out well.

This neo-Byzantine basilica was built dedicated to the saint St. Thérèse of Lisieux in her home town. She lived 1873-1897, was beatified in 1923 and canonized in 1925 (and have you ever been inside a French church you will have seen her sculpture, she is very popular).
The work on the church was begun in 1929, and despite the financial hardships of the 1930s and the second world war the church was finished in 1954 (and consecrated in 1951). The church is a minor basilica, built by the architects Louis-Marie Cordonnier, Louis-Stanislas Cordonnier and Louis Cordonnier, can hold 4000 people and measures 105 x 65 metres with a maximum height of 90 metres (in other words, it's gigantic!). It is the second most popular pilgrimage site in France (the most popular being Lourdes).

As the railway operators are starting to use new locomotives, there is less and less task for the old engines.
Class 630 (V63) alongside with the M62's were the most common locs, hauling freight trains not so long ago. Nowadays it's a rare thing to find these older machines at the front of heavy freight trains.
On the sunny morning of 29th June we were lucky enough to capture a picture of V63 007 hauling an eastbound tank train.

We hiked here on our first day. We were completely soaked when we returned to the car; between the rain and the spray from the waterfall, it was unavoidable. The waterfall is massive! And loud. That's John over there to give you a sense of scale. I had clambered up a separate mound for the shot. It was so cool to be so close to something so massive and powerful. In the little pools we saw a muskrat swimming around. At first I had thought it was a small beaver, but when I saw the tail I figured it was a giant rat or something else, and after looking in a book while we were warming up by a fire I saw what it had actually been. Pretty nifty. And I highly recommend taking the time to see this wonderful site.

This was the night of crawlers and upward lightning. Here is an example of the first, covering the whole FOV and more. This was an MCS lasting more than 7 hours throughout the night. Lightning frequency up to more than 1 flash per second at times and lots of hail. Athens, Greece, night of 26.09.2023.

The gigantic granite monoliths of Yosemite Valley appeared humongous against the distant stars of the Milky Way. But in reality, Yosemite Valley is only a tiny spot on earth, and yet the Earth is just a tiny planet compared to its nearest star – the Sun, which is a million times bigger. And last of all, the sun is simply just one of the billions of shining stars in the Milky Way. That really makes us think how small we are compare to the universe.
What a surprise yesterday - while driving home, a gigantic sun sat down.
Gestern auf der Heimfahrt wurden wir von einem gigantischen Sonnenuntergang überrascht.

The Mysterious Gigantic Megaliths of Baalbek Temples, Lebanon. The Temple of Jupiter (the shot above) was the largest temple ever constructed by the Roman empire, by quite some margin. It’s far bigger than any temple which was ever built in Rome.

Una delle cose stupende del mio territorio sono le Dolomiti, immense formazioni di granito che si stagliano contro il cielo come dei pinnacoli eterni. Eppure anche le più belle montagne sembrano piccole quando il cielo, immenso, si riempie di nuvole convettive.
Prospettive.
