For agents from Deva, the worst part of their first mission to earth isn't getting adjusted to a physical body. No, it's listening to the stories the local guides come up with to scare them.

According to the belief of the ancient Lycians, the soul after death takes wings and flies up to heavens. This location of the tombs was intended to ease her soul "start" to eternity. Local guides say that the higher is the tomb, the most powerful man was in his life.

"Of People and Monkeys" - While photographing birds, our group hears Howler Monkeys off in the distance. One of the interesting things about these animals is that the male's call can be heard from a HUGE distance, making their location difficult to pinpoint. We head in the direction of the sound, and see this monkey family, and they were NOT a mile up in the canopy! HOWEVER, the trees were on private property. Our awesome local guide talked to the family and they were more then happy to let a bunch of strangers carrying cameras into their yard! The family observed us with some amusement as we photographed our brains out. We were so thrilled over something that is a common everyday occurrence in their daily lives. I found the people in Costa Rica so kind and accommodating to a bunch of photo geeks who were having the time of our lives in their front yard.

I took this while I was sheltering in a doorway from a heavy rain shower. Because I'd put my tripod away I had to take this freehand - amazingly I didn't get any camera shake (I think holding the camera at waist level helped).
This is the tourist heart of Edinburgh (it's just around the corner from the castle) so I was lucky to catch this scene when there were so few people around.
As seen in The Locals' Guide to Edinburgh.

Gordonia is a genus of flowering plants in the family Theaceae, related to Franklinia, Camellia and Stewartia. Of the roughly 40 species, all but two are native to southeast Asia in southern China, Taiwan and Indochina. They are evergreen trees, growing to 10–20 m tall. The bark is thick and deeply fissured. The leaves are alternately arranged, simple, serrated, thick, leathery, glossy, and 6–18 cm long. The flowers are large and conspicuous, 4–15 cm diameter, with 5 (occasionally 6-8) white petals; flowering is in late winter or early spring. The species are adapted to acidic soils, and do not grow well on chalk or other calcium-rich soils. They also have a high rainfall requirement and will not tolerate drought. Of economic importance in East Asia, Southeast Asia, and the Indian subcontinent, leaves of C. sinensis are processed to create the popular beverage tea. The ornamental C. japonica, C. sasanqua and their hybrids are the source of hundreds of garden cultivars. C. oleifera produces tea seed oil, used in cooking and cosmetics. The various species of camellia plants are generally well-adapted to acid soils rich in humus, and most species do not grow well on chalky soil or other calcium-rich soils. Most species of camellias also require a large amount of water, either from natural rainfall or from irrigation, and the plants will not tolerate droughts. However, some of the more unusual camellias – typically species from karst soils in Vietnam – can grow without too much water. S_7103

Today we have found a holy building refers to 8th Imam's Son in the middle of desert village, which named Shatoor (Shah toor).
At first I escaped visiting there, but after listening to a local guide went in to the building and visited such a great paint on roof (Under the dome).
You can just go out of Isfahan for about 70Kms and visit this paints.

Rama Lake and Meadows, GB Pakistan
==================================
#GilgitBaltistan #Northern Areas #Pakistan
We made it to the beautiful Rama lake at perhaps a very good time. The sun was setting, and I was in a damn hurry to cover this beauty from all angles possible. Impossible indeed. The diminishing sunlight, the clouds, the murky reflection all joined to make quite a romantic mood actually.
I had taken all the shots here in bracketing mode. made HDRs in Lightroom and then stitched into Panorama in Lightroom again.
The HDRs were good and I am happy with my work provided the entry-level DX camera, a cheap lens, no tripod, local guide in an always hurry, no photo friendly mood, and.... yes that's pretty much all challenges :)

Grounds of Taviira castle.
Our last shot from the Ramlers Walk holiday "Tavira, Pearl of the Algarve"
Later 10 of us plus Liliana our local guide, moved onto the second holiday to the west of Faro and we were joined by a new RWH leader and 7 new guest.
See tavira.algarvetouristguide.com/attractions/castle for more information, including:
"The origin of Tavira goes back to 2000 B.C., during the occupation of the Algarve by the Moors. Tavira was of great importance then because of its fishing and fish salting industry. The Castle of Tavira (locally known as Castelo de Tavira) lies in the town historic centre. It’s unknown when the first castle at this site was built. Sources say in the VIII century B.C., a fortress was already being rebuilt by the Phoenicians in that place. The actual castle however probably dates back to the XII century."
A local Guide Dog organization always brings a couple of their dogs to AppleFest. This one is still in training. Taken by Edgar.

One of the more flamboyant of the western hemisphere owls, the “ear” tufts probably serve for camouflage and display, but not hearing. More or less staked out by a local guide who located two of the resident birds for us after a mini-Bataan march through steaming, mucky jungle. He followed that up with a look at a roosting Spectacled Owl (www.flickr.com/gp/cswood-photos/448B8n5p9q) which he had painstakingly relocated after a previous nest site was abandoned.

Horse-riding has been an integral part of Hacienda Zuleta for over a century. The ranch is home to 200 horses, 100 bred for polo and the rest for guests and farm-use.
The Zuletenos breed, a cross between Andalusian, Thoroughbred and Quarter Horse bred at Hacienda Zuleta, is also a wonderful dressage horse.
The horses are so well-mannered, obedient and eager-to-please, very responsive to the rider. Just a dream.
"Almost nothing can spook them," said José Ñoquez, local guide and master horseman, "They have a perfect disposition for trail-riding."
Riders can explore the stunning Andean countryside on a number of trails that climb to nearly 4000m above sea level.

Everywhere you look in Monument Valley, Arizona there are great views.
You can see the dirt road that winds through part of the valley. For a fee you can take your own car round the loop or alternately travel in a small group in a offroad vehicle, driven by a local guide.
La reserva comunitaria de Anja es una pequeña área protegida en Madagascar . Fue creado por una comunidad del pueblo que lo gestiona en su totalidad. Está orientado hacia la conservación de la naturaleza, el turismo y el desarrollo económico de la localidad.
La reserva alberga la población de lémures de cola anillada más densa de toda la isla.
La reserva está situada cerca de la carretera nacional N o 7, a medio camino entre el Parque Nacional Isalo al sur y Ranomafana norte, dos de los parques más visitados del país. Esta situación probablemente esté en el origen del gran número de visitantes que se detienen allí, y corolario del éxito del proyecto.
La reserva comunitaria de Anja cubre 34 hectáreas de bosque seco, rodeada de sabanas, arrozales y huertas. El paisaje está dominado por tres grandes formaciones de granito aisladas, el Telo Mirahavavy o "las Tres Hermanas".
Anja Miray es una asociación de derecho malgache , creada en 1999. Todos los habitantes de Anja, es decir, unas 2.500 personas, pueden unirse si lo desean. La gestión del bosque le fue cedida por el gobierno malgache en 2001, en virtud de la ley de transferencia de la gestión de los recursos naturales, de 1996. En 2009, pasó la superficie de tierra bajo el control de la asociación Anja Miray. De 60 ha (concedida en 2001) a 72 ha .
El premio “Ecuador”, que premia los esfuerzos de las comunidades para reducir la pobreza a través de la conservación y el uso sostenible de la biodiversidad, fue otorgado a la asociación Anja Miray en 2012.
Sin embargo, un estudio apunta a las desigualdades de género que persisten en la reserva, destacando, en particular, que solo el 15,4% de las mujeres son social, política y económicamente autónomas.
Las ganancias de la reserva comunitaria de Anja permitieron financiar la construcción de dos escuelas y un programa de apoyo agrícola con distribución de semillas e insumos.
En 2011, la reserva de Anja recibió a 12.000 visitantes, cada uno pagando una tarifa de entrada de 20.000 Ariaris (alrededor de 5 € ), además de la tarifa de grupo de 18 € . En 2019, el turismo generó alrededor de 27.000 € de facturación. Los ingresos fueron suficientes para contratar a 85 guías y otros agentes.

The Anja Community Reserve is a woodland area and freshwater lake, situated at the base a large cliff. Much of the reserve is dominated by fallen rocks and boulders and there are two small caves providing habitat for bats and owls. This reserve has much sheltered habitat in the pocket of forest that has established between the vast boulders.
The reserve was created in 2001 with the support on the UNDP to help preserve the local environment and wildlife, and to provide additional employment and income to the local community.
The reserve is home to the highest concentration of maki, or ring-tailed lemurs, in all of Madagascar. The people, who have a belief in not eating the maki, used to sell the maki to outsiders. However, after finding that 95% of makis in Madagascar are now gone, the people initiated the formation of a nature reserve, effectively establishing the world's largest congregation site for makis. Due to its high biological, cultural, and natural importance, scholars have suggested the possibility of its inclusion in the UNESCO World Heritage List.
The reserve is located 13 km south of Ambalavao, between the towns of Fianarantsoa and Ihosy, on National Road 7, and is a popular stop for holiday tours operators traveling between the Antananarivo and the south of Madagascar.
Visitors are welcome, but must be accompanied by a local guide. There are two main trails. The shorter trail can be completed in around one to two hours, but you should allow up to six hours for the longer trail which includes a hike to the top of the mountain. Fees apply.
The reserve is maintained by Association Anja Miray, a local group established in response to the degradation of the forest. The association's ecotourism initiative helps to fund community works projects related to education and health alongside conservation activities. The growth of ecotourism has also helped to diversify the local economy, encouraging fish farming and tree nurseries. Previously, forest lands were being cleared for corn planting and lemurs were hunted as a source of protein. The association received support from the United Nations Development Programme (including an Equator Prize in 2012) and the Global Environment Facility.
Anja Reserve is home to about 300 ring-tailed lemurs (Lemur catta) as well as three species of lizard:
Androngo or the Madagascar Girdled Lizard (Zonosaurus madagascariensis)
Katasataka or Barbour's day gecko (Phelsuma barbouri)
Dangalia lizard (Chalarodon madagascariensis)
The ring-tailed lemurs are used to visitors, so it is possible to approach to within a few meters for photos. However, feeding them, which was once permitted, is now prohibited.
Two bizarre species of planthopper are frequently observed at Anja, and the local guides will point out these strange-looking insects to visitors as they pass by. The Flatida rosea nymphs congregate in groups and are covered in white waxy filaments. The Malagasy Lantern Bug (Zanna madagascariensis) has a white waxy dusty coating and a large orange lantern-like snout.

Last May I had the opportunity to photograph this gorgeous Bobcat at Point Reyes National Seashore. My friend Lisa and I hired Daniel Dietrich - a local guide who has intimate knowledge of the whole park and just where to go to help us get our dream shots. It was Spring and all the fields were brilliant green. When the Bobcat stopped and looked back over his shoulder, I knew I had my shot.
