Sunset at Lake Lhanquihue, at Puerto Varas, Chile.
Its figure ideally synthesizes what a volcano is. Its unique colors, as well as its slopes and a summit that remains covered with white, unspoilt snow almost 365 days a year.
Standing almost 60 kilometers to the Northwest of Puerto Varas, it reaches a height of 2,661 meters above sea level. Its great height makes it visible from every point in the district of Osorno, even in some places on Chiloé Island. Therefore, it represents an impressive and typical postcard of the region. With its classical blackish dark green color and ornamented with arms of eternal snow, its presence attracts the thousands of tourists who visit it every year. Looking at its summit is mesmerizing and it is the destination for various climbing excursions.
The volcano may be ascended from Puerto Kloker, Ensenada and Petrohué. Ascents take approximately 6 hours and, in most cases, groups are organized to climb in the company of a local guide. It is advisable to wear thermic clothes, sunglasses, sun protection, water and, of course, comfortable climbing footwear.

The Tetons is were I met up with international and local guide, Jen Hall. Although so much smoke you literally could not see the Tetons after my second day there this shoot was quite productive. Fortunately photographer and guide extraordinaire showed up on scene with contacts all over the park. It is so cool to see the respect she is offered by her fellow guides and look-outs constantly exchanging info about various locations around the park. Jen is at home in Africa(*Kenya),Yellowstone or the Tetons..She is the real deal folks. Very humble letting her photography speak for her. Jen is that quiet geter done kinda gal.
This is her FLICKR site:

It was such a pleasure meeting such gracious kind folks like Phil's Pixels in Spokan, too briefly we met at his beautiful artisan home for lunch before heading eastward. Then hooking up with Ken Kelal , Jay Stotts and friends sharing their beach front property with this SoCal pilgram. And geographically, lastly, one cool gal to hang out with and shoot with, Jen Hall. A bit of a side note Jen has a thing for Weasels. One ran by us and she abandon a cow moose with a baby in good light to run after squealing all the way... "A weasel Brian, look a Weasel!!!" LOL!! We had a hoot of a time shooting together. Jen is a fun good sense of humor and all business when necessary. I could not recommend her higher as a guide anywhere she guides!!!!

As soon as my ship hit the docks of Alexandria, the race began. I had heard rumors of ancient artifacts dating back to the early Nubian empire. Of course, these rumors attracted the interest of those who did not have good intentions as I. The Marquis Marcel was a fierce enemy of mine, always trying to nab the treasures right before I could get to them. I was determined to beat him this time. But before I could settle my score, I needed to get a local guide who knew the region, and for company. After all, the Sahara is not the most popular tourist destination. After looking everywhere in the city, I found one taker. And collecting our supplies and rations we set off into the desert…

Fig off Against Oshi and MiscellanaBuilds
I had a lot of fun with these figs, definently something that I dont do every day, But Im proud of the results!
I had the opportunity to visit - together with a local guide - one of the poorer sections of Soweto Township near Johannesburg, South Africa. I also visited a development project called "Kliptown Youth Program" (KYP).
Thank you for your visits / comments / faves!
@Bayanbulak
Bayanbulak, a vast highland prairie about 270 kilometers (167 miles) northwest of Korla, is home to the descendents of Mongols who returned here from Russia one hundred years ago. The natural splendor of the area testifies to the accuracy of its Mongolian name which means "Rich Fountains". Bayanbulak's considerable water supply supports the luxurious grasslands, numerous varieties of multihued flowers, and hundreds of thousands of cattle and sheep. You get a glimpse of the beauty of the area in the adjacent picture which also shows a yurt, the circular domed tent used by Mongolian nomads. Bayanbulak is the second largest grassland in China encompassing an area of 23 thousand sq. km.
Bayanbulak has the distinction of having the only nature reserve for swans in China and one of the largest swan reserves in the world. Here, thousands of swans from many different species live, play, and breed providing a uniquely wonderful opportunity to observe large flocks of graceful swans.This habitat area has a lake named Swan Lake. It is comprised of hundreds of small connected ponds that are fed by springs and streams and covers about 300 square kilometers (115 square miles). Swan Lake with its sparkling water, reedy marshes, and adjacent grasslands make it a perfect haven for swans and a visual delight for all people. Against the backdrop of the lake, its marshes, and the rich surrounding grasslands, visitors can observe the spectacle of thousands of swans in flight across the vast open sky. Nowhere else can you have this breathtaking experience of seeing the sky fill with a cloud of swans. Engaging a local guide who can help you navigate the sometimes tricky marshes and share interesting stories of the area will add greatly to your enjoyment of Swan Lake. Swan watching is at its height in May and June. If you can, you might consider planning your trip to coincide with Nadam Fair.

February 20, 2017, at Tinamou, Manizales, Colombia. The Common Potoo (Nyctibius griseus) was undoubtedly one of the most interesting birds that we encountered during our recent trek through the central Andes of Colombia. This bird camouflages so well by its color and mode of perch that you would have very little chance of seeing it during the day. One finds them by listening for their song at night or by shining a light into the dark and looking for reflections from their eyes. We found this bird with the help of a local guide. The Common Potoo is a nocturnal bird which breeds in tropical Central and South America from Nicaragua to northern Argentina and northern Uruguay. They measure about 38 cm (15 inches) in length. Potoos belong to the family Nyctibiidae that are closely related to nightjars, and like nightjars, their diet consists mostly of insects taken in-flight at night.

Wild female Puma (Puma concolor or Felis concolor), named "Hermanita" (little sister) by the local guides, negotiates the steep cliff with agility and grace. Always on the alert for other Pumas, this big cat was particularly sensitive because she had stashed a kill nearby. Laguna Amarga area, near Torres del Paine National Park, Chile.

I'm not sure sure which hawk this is. There were numerous birds with this appearance in Patagonia. The local guides called all of them 'Caracaras', but I'm not so sure that is correct.
Varanasi, also known as Kashi and Benaras, is the cultural capital of India. Varanasi is a melting pot, where both death and life come together. Dating to the 11th century B.C. (that’s over 3000 years!), this is one of the world's oldest continually inhabited cities. It draws Hindu pilgrims who bathe in the Ganges River’s sacred waters and perform funeral rites. Along the city's winding streets are some 2,000 temples, including Kashi Vishwanath, the “Golden Temple,” dedicated to the Hindu god Shiva.
Lonely Planet describes the city as “one of the most blindingly colorful, unrelentingly chaotic and unapologetically indiscreet places on earth”. Not everyone is prepared to visit this incredible city, where the circle of life overpowers all of your senses. My local guide’s words sum if it perfectly: you don’t visit Varanasi, you live Varanasi. It was truly a life-changing experience for me.

We did a Swamps and Bayou tour near New Orleans and saw quite a few alligators. Our local guide got out of the boat and fed hot dogs to some alligators (not his arm as it looks here)!
At the information centre where we left from there is a while alligator - not albino apparently.
One of two Grassi Lakes, named for Lawrence Grassi (1898-1980) a renowned local guide. This photo captures an amazing circumstance. The water is so clear and so still that the reflections intermingle with the visible lake bottom.
View On Black to better see the lake bottom.

Yellow-breasted Antpitta (Grallaria flavotincta)
This little beauty was a lovely surprise at a little spot in the cloud forest of Ecuador just a few hours from Quito.
A local guide has turned his garden into a bird photography paradise with several hides and different setups. We were waiting patiently between bouts of activity when two of these individuals popped out of the undergrowth and started foraging in the open.
Have to be quick with these guys, they stop and perch beautifully but you never know how long they will stay before they dart off somewhere else so you had better be quick!
