Icalma es un pequeño poblado ubicado en la zona cordillerana en la IX Región de la Araucanía de CHILE, habitado principalmente por comunidades pehuenches. Se ubica a 130 kilómetros al este de Temuco y a 780 kms al sur de Santiago, a orillas del Lago Icalma, el cual le da el nombre al poblado, a una altura de 1350 msnm. Icalma en idioma mapudungún significa 'Espejo de agua' debido al efecto reflejo de los cerros en el lago.
En el poblado se encuentra proximo al Paso Icalma, a 11 kilómetros de la frontera con Argentina. En sus alrededores se ubica la Laguna Galletué, el volcan Batea Mahuida y las Reservas China Muerta y Altos del Bio Bio, importantes atractivos de la región. En su lago nace el rio Bio Bio uno de los mayores rios del país.
La vegetacion predominante son los bosques de Araucarias, Coigues y Ñirres, pero parte importante de la zona tambien ofrece paisajes tipicos de la estepa Andino Patagonica, por lo que algunos biologos y naturalista sostienen que aquí comenzaria efectivamente la Patagonia Chilena, varios cientos de kilometros mas al norte que el limite tradicional situado en el Seno de Reloncavi.
Llegar a Icalma en Otoño es una de las experiencias mas fascinantes que la naturaleza puede ofrecer. La geografia rodeada de montañas se pinta de multiples colores gracias a los bosques caducifolios mesclados con las Araucarias y el tradicional bosque siempre verde del sur de Chile. Un espectaculo que cada año atrae a fotografos y amantes de la naturaleza de todo el pais y del extranjero. El otoño del Hemisferio Sur alcanza aquí su maximo esplendor durante la primera semana de Mayo.

Icalma is a small town located in the IX Araucanía Region Andean zone, inhabited mainly by Pehuenche communities. It is located 130 kilometers east of Temuco and 780 kilometers south of Santiago, on the shores of Lake Icalma, which gives the town its name, at an altitude of 1350 meters above sea level. Icalma in Mapudungun language means 'Mirror of water' due to the reflection effect of the hills in the lake.
The town, it is near the Icalma Pass, 11 kilometers from the border with Argentina. The Galletué Lagoon, the Batea Mahuida volcano and the China Muerta and Altos del Bio Bio reserves located in the surroundings are important attractions of the region. The Bio Bio river is one of the largest rivers in the country that born here.
The predominant vegetation are forests of Araucarias, Coigues and Ñirres, but an important part of the area also offers typical landscapes of the Patagonian Andean steppe, so some biologists and naturalist argue that here would begin the Chilean Patagonia, several hundred kilometers more to the north that the traditional limit located in the Seno de Reloncavi.
Arriving in Icalma in Autumn is one of the most fascinating experiences that nature can offer. The geography surrounded by mountains is painted in multiple colors thanks to the deciduous forests mixed with the Araucarias and the traditional evergreen forest of southern Chile. A show that every year attracts photographers and nature lovers from all over the country and abroad. The winter of the Southern Hemisphere reaches its maximum splendor here during the first of July.

This was our home away from home for seven days in the Galapagos Islands. The Endeavor is an expedition-type, research ship which has plied the waters from the Arctic to the Antarctic. At 295 feet long, with accommodations for 96 guests, she was the base of operations from which the Zodiacs (or pangas - tough, inflatable boats with outboard motors) zipped us back and forth to the islands for hiking or to snorkeling sites. The crew was genial and experienced, the food excellent, and being rocked to sleep at night by the ocean swells was a charming bonus! Texture by Spektoral Addendum.
Nach der Arbeit Freitags direkt zur Burg gefahren und nach der Ankunft war eigentlich der Plan vor den Abendessen noch schnell eine kleine Runde gehen und die Location auszukundschaften. Als ich an der Stelle ankam musste ich natürlich auch ein Bild mitnehmen. Nachdem ich gemerkt habe das irgendwas von hinten die Landschaft immer heller werden lässt und ich realisiert habe das es sich dabei um den Vollmond handelt, musste ich meinen Plan Milchstraße mit Burg in Startrail mit Burg abgeändern :)
Und da ich schon mal da war natürlich auch gleich den besten Moment abgewartet und dieses Bild aufgenommen. Einen Tag später wäre es so auch nicht mehr möglich gewesen, da es am nächsten Tag bewölkt war und die nächsten Tage Regen gemeldet war.
Somit mal wieder Glück gehabt ;)

Norwegen / Nordland / Lofoten / Moskenesøya - Reinebringen
Moskenesøya (lit. 'Moskenes Island') is an island at the southern end of the Lofoten archipelago in Nordland county, Norway. The 186-square-kilometre (72 sq mi) island is shared between Moskenes Municipality and Flakstad Municipality. The tidal whirlpool system known as Moskstraumen, one of the strongest in the world, is located between Moskenesøya's Lofoten Point and the island of Mosken.
Geography
The island consists of an agglomeration of glaciated hills with the highest peak being the 1,029-metre-tall (3,376 ft) Hermannsdalstinden mountain. It is elongated from southwest to northeast and it is about 40 kilometres (25 mi) long and 10 km (6 mi) wide. It also has a very uneven shoreline. The island is connected to the nearby island of Flakstadøya by the Kåkern Bridge which is part of the European route E10 which ends on the Moskenesøya island at the village of Å.
Population
There are many villages on the island. Flakstad Municipality, on the northern part of the island, has several small villages including Fredvang, Selfjord, and Krystad. Moskenes Municipality, on the southern part of the island, has the villages of Å, Hamnøya, Moskenes, Reine, Sakrisøy, Sørvågen, and Tind, all located on the eastern side of the island. There were settlements on the western coast, but the last ones were abandoned in 1950s owing to severe storms.
Attractions
Most villages are frequently visited by tourists and have designed small exhibits of local peculiarities. So Sakrisøy has a museum of 2,500 dolls from all over Europe. Sørvågen contains a local department of Norsk Telemuseum (Norwegian Telecom Museum) which reflects the local history of telegraphy. In 1861, the island became part of the 170-kilometre-long (110 mi) Lofoten telegraph line with a station in Sørvågen (which became the Sørvågen museum in 1914), and in 1867 the line was connected with Europe. In 1906, a wireless telegraph system was installed in Sørvågen – the second in Europe after Italy – connecting Sørvågen with Røst island.
The village of Å is a traditional fishing place and nearly its entire territory is the 150 years old Norwegian Fishing Village Museum, which includes the Lofoten Stockfish Museum, a forge, a bakery, and a cod liver oil factory.
History
In the beginning of World War II, the island was occupied by the German Army. In December 1941, it was the venue of the Operation Anklet – a British Commando raid carried out by 300 men from No. 12 Commando and the Norwegian Independent Company 1. The landing party was supported by 22 ships from three navies – British, Norwegian and Polish. As a result, two German radio transmitters were destroyed and several small boats were captured or sunk. Importantly an operational Enigma coding machine was obtained from one of the sunken German patrol ships. Also, about 200 local Norwegians volunteered to serve in the Free Norwegian Forces.

Information about the Reinebringen hike:
Duration: ca 1-2 hours.
Altitude: 484 metres above sea level.
Season: May - September.
Difficulty: Medium.
Incline: ca 45 degrees.
Distance: 2 km (round trip).
Starting point: Reine outer harbor.
Tour description:
As always, hiking in Lofoten is at your own risk, so make sure you follow the path. Even if the path towards the top follows the Sherpa steps, it is very steep and parts of it can be demanding. You follow the stairs built into the steep mountain side and if you need a break, there are several nice spots with benches built along the path. The hike is not recommended for young children and for safety reasons, this hike is strictly not recommended in the winter season.
Reinebringen is far from one of the highest mountains in Lofoten, but the view from the top of Reinebringen is known for being one of the most spectacular ones. It is a favourite among many hikers and you will soon understand why when you reach the top. Sit down and enjoy the great view over the picturesque Reine village and the wild fjords and mountains. We also recommend the hike during the midnight sun season in Lofoten, as it is maybe even more beautiful at that time. And not least, there may be less people in the evening. The hike is extremely popular among locals and tourists alike.
It is very important to wear sturdy shoes, take plenty of water to drink and a wind proof jacket. An extra set of dry clothes is also recommended. Do not forget a fully charged battery, so you can bring your memories with you back home. Remember to enjoy the moment!
Parking:
If you decide to travel to see Reinebringen and arrive by car – you will find the parking at Reine Ytre Havn (outer harbour). This is where the hike starts. You first walk through the centre of beautiful Reine towards Reinehalsen (viewpoint by the main road) and then walk further along the E10 direction Å. Follow the old road on the outside of the tunnel on the left of the road fence. If you arrive by bus, the nearest bus stop is «Reine kryss» (Moskenes).
Frequently asked questions about Reinebringen:
Can I hike Reinebringen in the winter?
No. This hike is only recommended when the snow is gone. Every year, there are cases of tourists getting stuck on Reinebringen, posing great risk for the local rescue team.
Can I do the hike if I am scared of heights?
Some parts of the hike can be very steep and «airy», and even if most of the path is built on steps, the hike is considered to be of medium difficulty.
Is the hike suitable for children?
Mountain guides and locals do not recommend the hike for small children. On top of Reinebringen there is a small area to move around and in the summer time it gets crowded of people wanting to enjoy the view.

Rework of an older Flickr picture. Years ago I photographed this Snowy Owl flying away and added a new background. My digital photography skills have improved since then, and here is my similar but better new 23rd version.
This was done by a friend of mine Tim Foltz a few years back, who obviously is a person with too much time on his hands.
Found my local family of LO's surrounded by a field of horses and being nervous of animals larger than a dog, i retreated to do more work on some older shots.
A quite stunning sky above the Old Man of Coniston appeared as I came over the brow of Bigland Hill on my cycle to work earlier in the winter. With my onward journey just visible in the bottom left corner.
Uno scatto fatto ormai sul finire del fenomeno parossistico del 5 gennaio 2012. Foto fatta dalla Mareneve, poco sopra Fornazzo. La colonna di cenere è ormai in ricaduta sui paesi limitrofi verso sud. La cenere è arrivata fino a Ragusa...senza interessare per fortuna l'aeroporto che non è stato chiuso in questa occasione.
This was taken almost at the end of the eruption of January 5, 2012 on Mt. Etna. The smoke is diminishing and the ashes are starting to fall down. Taken from the road Mareneve, Fornazzo, Catania, Sicily
Many thanks for your visits and comments !!
