This was a very special find. The Brown-banded Antpitta (Grallaria milleri) is endemic to Colombia and vulnerable due to loss of suitable habitat as a result of human activity. In 1992 it was suspected that the species was extinct, but it was rediscovered in 1994. Its range is limited to a small area between 1800 and 3100 meters above sea level in the forests of the central Colombian Andes. As of today the only known locations are in the neighboring Departments of Quindio, Risarada and Caldas on the western slope of the central Colombian Andes and on the eastern slope in the nearby Department of Tolima.
Antpittas are secretive, wary and shy birds that inhabit the dark understory of mountain forests. They never stray far from cover. They feed on insects on or near the ground. Ants are a diet favorite. They are small round bodied birds with short tails and relatively long legs.
For us this was not a lucky find because we had the help of an extremely professional and knowledgeable local guide, Mr. Albeiro Uribe, at Reserva Ecologica Rio Blanco in Manizales, Caldas, Colombia.
Albeiro led us to this bird and three other species of Antpitta.
St Ives has a wealth of shops of all sorts. The main shopping areas are Tregenna Hill, Tregenna Place, St Andrews Street, Fore Street and Wharf Road. There is a good choice of gallery shops selling local arts,crafts, jewellery and gifts. St Ives has several book shops that sell a variety of fiction, non-fiction, local guides and maps. There are also a number of specialist food shops around town, a good range of clothes boutiques and three pharmacies. If you need some cash for your shopping spree, you can find many of the leading Banks clustered around the top of High Street.
These monkeys are very cheeky because they where throwing sticks at me when I passed by. My local guide warned me not to walk underneath the trees because they will also pee or shit on my head.
Andrew, a local guide, is friends with Scar, a 10-year old sperm whale (Physeter macrocephalus) in Dominica. Photo taken under permit. echeng100129_0248132
Photo tip: ask the local guide about what is expected to be seen in the diving site to decide as to whether you mount the wide angle or macro lens before diving.
This old male had recently been in a fight to defend his territory against a youinger tiger. Although he won that fight it left him him with a nasty wound on his nose. Unfortunately our local guide thought it would only be a matter of time before the younger tiger defeated him and he was ousted from his territory..
This was our first of 7 different tiger sightings in Tadoba Tiger Reserve.

Car 3060 is on a service to Ashton under Lyne as it passes a local guide giving a talk on the events of the Peterloo Massacre.
Thinking of my April /13 trip to South Africa today, because of Mandela's birthday...here are some photos of a strenuous ( for me, and some others ) climb to a spot where we were rewarded with the sight of some ancient rock paintings ..( about 1400 years old, if I remember correctly ).
The climb was in the Drakensburg Mountains...we went from about 5000 feet to 6000 feet....mostly having to watch where we put every footstep...and if I had not had the help of the two young men pictured below in the comment photos, I would not have made it...I was about the last person to get there...hence my photos in the overhang area were pretty skimpy.
Of course I was carrying my heavy camera, and food and water...and I DID want to take more pics of the surroundings... ( which included some wildflowers that looked like strawflowers...and at least one baboon... and a waterfall, where a very few of our group waited who did not wish to climb all the way up. )
A build for the continuation of the Mokolei collaboration on Eurobricks Brethren of the Brick Seas.
After surviving the storm, the Corlander expedition was running low on fresh water, and the local guide Rashid, had told them of a small oasis not far away from which they could resupply. So while the main body of the party investigated some ruins uncovered by the storm, Lieutenant Williams had been assigned a small party to find the oasis and bring back water to the main body. Guided by Rashid, finding the oasis had been easy. Now Lieutenant Williams watched Sergeant Doyle and his men fill barrels with water from the oasis.
After an excellent sleep in the center of Edinburgh, we enjoyed a guided tour by Helen, a charming local guide. With her, we learned about the historical significance of Scotland's capital city as we made our way up to Edinburgh Castle, situated atop Castle Rock. From there, we were treated to stunning panoramic views of the city. We were told that in Scotland, you shouldn’t bother too much about the weather, and right they are… In one day, we enjoyed sunshine - actually, we got a little sunburned - hail, rain, and heavy overcast weather. Actually, on this panoramic view from the castle, you can see the rain falling down on the other side of the river Firth of Forth – Edinburgh Castle, Edinburgh, Scotland, UK.

The title of each photo in this series is a translated line from a poem found in the Chapel of Bones. See the full poem in the original language here en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capela_dos_Ossos#Poem .
From our tour guide - the Franciscan monks who used the bones of approximately 5000 corpses, built this to send a message to the nobles that in death, no one can tell the difference between the rich and the poor, royal or common.
We had so much fun hiking on glaciers our first time in Iceland that we had to make sure we could do it again on our second trip. We went out with Aron from Öræfaferðir / Local Guide Travel Service again, this time for a glacier hike on the Fjallsjökull Outlet of the Vatnajökull Glacier. We would highly recommend their services! Please feel free to check out the link below for more information.

But the adventure even begins when our local guide takes a compass from his pocket and begins to talk about the energization of the sacred stones in the place. Follow the video and pay attention to the compass.
Just do not ask me how they energized this stone, or how it's still energized after thousands and thousands of years.
After having an idea of the Tiwanaku's domain of acoustics and magnetism, I could see that in Puma Punku, near there, perhaps the source of all this knowledge is found. It's really amazing. In this place there is proof and evidence that this people, much older than the Incas or the Egyptians, possessed a technique and wisdom with extremely high standards. It would not be an exaggeration to say that their mastery over astronomy and magnetism might have been more advanced than the present.
***
The area within the kilometer separating the Pumapunku and Kalasasaya complexes has been surveyed using ground-penetrating radar, magnetometry, induced electrical conductivity, and magnetic susceptibility. The geophysical data collected from these surveys and excavations have revealed the presence of numerous man-made structures in the area between the Pumapunku and Kalasasaya complexes.
It's a tour for a specific audience. In fact, Bolivia is not for anyone. Not in the sense of income, but in the sense of "mindset."
