December on the point at Emerald Isle, North Carolina. I don't think its possible to overstate how bright it was that afternoon. Absolutely searing. Thank you for the look and have a great weekend.
Le lac d'Oô (Òu en occitan gascon moderne) est un lac des Pyrénées de 42 ha et d'une profondeur maximale de 67 m, artificiel depuis la construction d'un barrage sur le lac glaciaire. Il alimente la centrale hydroélectrique d'Oô d'une puissance de 30 MW. Son nom est particulièrement connu par les cruciverbistes.
Oô vient du gascon iu ou èu, « lac de haute montagne » : « lac d'Oô » est donc une répétition sur le plan étymologique.
Avec sa fameuse cascade de près de 300 mètres de haut qui dégringole du lac d'Espingo situé plus haut (1 882 m), le lac d'Oô (1 507 m) fait partie des randonnées incontournables de la vallée d'Astau, en Haute-Garonne dans les Pyrénées.
Malheureusement le ciel était bouché et nous n'avons pu voir les sommets environnants se refléter dans le lac.
Lake Oô (Òu in modern Gascon Occitan) is a lake in the Pyrenees of 42 ha and a maximum depth of 67 m, artificial since the construction of a dam on the glacial lake. It supplies the Oô hydroelectric plant with a capacity of 30 MW. His name is particularly known by cruciverbists.
Oô comes from the Gascon iu or èu, "high mountain lake": "lac d'Oô" is therefore an etymological repetition.
With its famous waterfall almost 300 meters high which tumbles from the lake of Espingo located higher (1,882 m), the lake of Oô (1,507 m) is one of the essential hikes in the Astau valley, in Haute-Garonne in the Pyrenees.
Unfortunately the sky was cloudy and we couldn't see the surrounding peaks reflected in the lake.
Poike, the oldest volcano:
The Poike volcano was the first piece of land that emerged from the sea and, together with subsequent volcanic eruptions, formed the present territory of Easter Island. Its somewhat remote and isolated location and its difficult access make Poike a little-visited place. However, this mysterious territory contains secret corners and ancient legends that invite to discover it calmly and to know better the past of the island.
Poike, the first volcano on the island:
The name of Poike, usually translated by “hill”, seems to come from the Rapanui expression “Po” (night); “ike” (break) which means “place where the night breaks” because it is the first place on the island that receives the first rays of the rising sun.
Indeed, the Poike is located at the eastern end of Easter Island, and is the oldest of the three main volcanoes on the island, next to the Rano Kau and the Ma’unga Terevaka, which originated their formation. It is estimated that this first eruptive center emerged from the sea about 3 million years ago creating the so-called Poike Peninsula, although its activity was maintained until about 300 thousand years ago. Originally this peninsula was an island but later it was joined to the main body of the island, by lava flows coming from the Terevaka and other nearby volcanic centers.
The Poike is now an inactive volcano with a fairly symmetrical cone shape. The main crater has a circular shape and by its resemblance to a halo of sun or moon was called Pua Katiki, although in another version its name would mean “hill that serves to monitor the cattle.” Unlike other craters, this is totally dry and measures around 150 meters in diameter and about 10 meters deep. Inside a small eucalyptus forest grows that crowns the summit like a leafy green plume visible from afar.
From Pua Katiki, where the Poike reaches a maximum height of 460 meters, a wide plain of gentle slope is observed. which covers an area of about 4.5 km from east to west and 3.5 km from north to south. This large area, almost exclusively covered by a type of grass called here hoi (Sporobolus indicus), ends abruptly on 100-meter-high coastal cliffs formed by the continuous erosion of the sea on the Poike peninsula.
_______________________________________________
For some unknown reason, during the period of construction of the large statues, considered the golden age of the island, it is believed that the inhabitants of the Poike peninsula remained separate from the others and hardly participated in the work of carving in the quarries of Rano Raraku.
One proof of its isolation is that only two of the statues found in the Poike are made of the lapilli tuff of the Rano Raraku, while the rest of the statues were made of the white trachyte coming from the Poike deposits.

The face of a satisfied fisherman.
Who would have thought that within days of taking this photo our country would be in lockdown.
Today I would have been back home in Scotland, but instead the chances of doing so, seem distant indeed.
For now I must make do with the memories and look forward to a time when this nightmare will be over.
Stay positive everyone and more importantly stay safe and well.

Watendlath is a hamlet and tarn (a small lake) in Cumbria in England.
Watendlath sits high between the Borrowdale and Thirlmere valleys at 863 feet (263 m) above sea level.
Blea Tarn Gill, 700 feet (210 m) above Watendlath Tarn, provides the tarn with its water. Water from Watendlath Tarn flows into the beck of the same name and eventually feeds Lodore Falls, and ends up in Derwent Water.
The tarn is 7 acres (28,000 m2) in size, with a maximum depth of 56 feet (17 m). It was given to the National Trust by Queen Victoria's daughter, Princess Louise, in memory of her brother, King Edward VII.
Lago di Ghirla is a small Italian lake of glacial origin, located entirely within the territory of Lombardy, Varese province, at an altitude of 415 metres above sea level, with a maximum depth of 14 meters and a total customer base of 0.28 km ².

A very unusual plant , which I bought initially for it's interesting foliage, and unusual name. The flowers grow at the base of the plant underneath the leaves and are so different to any other flower I have seen. The face isn't very evident, and I assume it gets it's common name from someone having a vivid imagination.

This bright pink ferry shelter is situated by the river at Warsash.
The ferry itself is based at Hamble on the opposite side of the river and operates between Warsash and Hamble The pilot also keeps an eye out and when he sees passengers near the pink shelter, comes to ferry them across the river.
The shelter is photogenic but not too practical, a look inside revealed a dark interior with nowhere to sit and heaps of pebbles washed in by high tide.
It's not certain when the ferry began plying its trade but local research has dated it back to at least 1493.
The ferry has always carried a maximum of 12 passengers who were originally taken across the river by a ferryman in a small rowing boat (sometimes with their horse swimming along behind!)

A trip on the Welsh Highland Railway from Caernarfon to Porthmadog, 12 October 2019. A view from the 1000 Caernarfon to Porthmadog as it climbs towards Rhyd-ddu, looking down to Llyn Cwellyn, with 698m Mynydd Mawr (Big Mountain) on the left, whilst on the right the highest point is Moel Eilio (726 m).
Llyn Cwellyn is a reservoir, dammed at the north end, although this has not greatly enlarged the volume of water of this natural glaciated lake, which supplies water to much of Gwynedd and of Anglesey. It is quite deep, some 37 m maximum, and is home to the rare (at least for the UK) Arctic char as well as brown trout.
I return to my Summer photos. Here is the beach in Stegna (Poland) and view on The Gdańsk Bay :)
Gdańsk Bay or the Gulf of Gdańsk is a southeastern bay of the Baltic Sea. It is named after the adjacent port city of Gdańsk in Poland. The average depth is about 50 m, and the maximum depth is 118 m. The bay is enclosed by a large curve of the shores of Gdańsk Pomerania in Poland (Cape Rozewie, Hel Peninsula) and the Kaliningrad Oblast of Russia (Sambian Peninsula).

Grey-crowned Babbler
Scientific Name: Pomatostomus temporalis
Description: The Grey-crowned Babbler is the largest of Australia's four babbler species. It is dark brown-grey above, with a distinctive grey crown stripe and a dark face mask that contrasts with a white eyebrow. The chin and throat are white, running into a pale grey lower breast. It has a long, curved bill, short rounded wings with cinnamon brown wing patches and a long tail tipped white. The eye is pale yellow in adults. There is a darker-coloured subspecies, rubeculus, in north-western Australia (often called the Red-breasted Babbler), that has a rufous lower breast and darker crown stripe. The Grey-crowned Babbler is a noisy and gregarious bird, usually found in small groups of four to twelve, and is often seen on the ground or in low trees. It is sometimes called the Yahoo, after one of its calls.
Similar species: The Grey-crowned Babbler lacks the dark crown of other babblers and has a yellow rather than a dark eye.
Distribution: The Grey-crowned Babbler is widespread throughout north-western, northern, central and eastern Australia. It is also found in Papua New Guinea.
Habitat: The Grey-crowned Babbler is found in open forests and woodlands, favouring inland plains with an open shrub layer, little ground cover and plenty of fallen timber and leaf litter. May be seen along roadsides and around farms. In south-east Melbourne, small populations survive on golf courses.
Seasonal movements: Sedentary.
Feeding: Grey-crowned Babblers feed on insects and other invertebrates and sometimes eat seeds. They forage in groups of two to fifteen birds on the ground among leaf litter, around fallen trees and from the bark of shrubs and trees (they tend to use trees more than other babblers).
Breeding: Grey-crowned Babblers live and breed in co-operative territorial groups of two to fifteen birds (usually four to twelve). Groups normally consist of a primary breeding pair along with several non-breeding birds (sometimes groups may contain two breeding pairs or two females that both breed). Most members of the group help to build nests, with the primary female contributing the most effort. Two types of nest are built: roost-nests (usually larger and used by the whole group) and brood-nests (for the breeding females), and often old nest sites are renovated and re-used from year to year. The large domed nests are placed in a tree fork 4 m - 7 m high and are made of thick sticks with projections that make a hood and landing platform for the entrance tunnel. The nest chamber is lined with soft grass, bark, wool and feathers. The brooding female (sometimes more than one) is fed by the other group members and all help to feed the nestlings. Larger groups tend to raise more young, and two broods are usually raised per season.
Calls: Loud scolding and chattering calls: 'wee-oo'. Also distinctive 'ya-hoo' duet by breeding female ('yah') and male ('ahoo') repeated six to eight times.
Minimum Size: 25cm
Maximum Size: 29cm
Average size: 27cm
Average weight: 81g
Breeding season: July to February
Clutch Size: Usually two to three, up to five if more than one female.
Incubation: 23 days
Nestling Period: 23 days

Visitors can be seen walking far down in the Almannagjá Gorge in Þingvellir National Park in southwest Iceland. The entire Þingvellir region is located in a rift valley created by the drifting apart of the North American and Eurasian tectonic plates. The tectonic plates are drifting in opposite directions at the rate of 7 mm (0.276 in) annually. Almannagjá lies along the North American plate on the west side of the valley. It measures 7.7 km long and 64 m wide at its maximum. The gorge’s cliffs lie along a fault with a maximum throw of 30-40 m. Geologists believe the Þingvellir faults (fissures) to be the surface expressions of deeply rooted normal faults. Basalt from cooled lava flows make up the cliffs and valley floor. About two thousand years ago, the basalt erupted from near by fissures. At the top of the photo, the base of Ármannsfell, a volcanic mountain, dominates the horizon.
This unique geology became the backdrop for some of Iceland's most important political and cultural events. Iceland’s settlement by The Norse began with the arrival of Ingólfur Arnarson in 874. Historians refer to the next 56 years, as ‘The Settlement Period’. Driven away from a newly united Norway under King Harald Fairhair, settlers from many different clans settled all around the island’s shores. Though the new arrivals shared an ancestral home, religion and language, difference sprang up because each clan had its own leaders and customs. Violence broke out from time to time between these clans both over their beliefs and for the limited resources their new island had to offer. In order to address these issues the people decided to hold a general assembly with members from each clan.
A man called Grímur Geitskör was given the tasks of gathering representatives from each clan and finding a suitable meeting location. As Geitskör was searching for a location, a man who owned a sheltered piece of land accessible from all corners of the country was convicted of murder, and his property turned public. This sheltered place was in the rift valley at Þingvellir. People from all over Iceland could reach the assembly place with no more than seventeen days of traveling. In 930 AD, over thirty ruling chiefs met for the first time at Þingvellir to discuss law on the island and to create a Viking commonwealth. Their meeting place was within the Almannagjá Gorge.
Þingvellir translated literally means "Assembly Plains”. The Parliament, called The Alþing, met at Þingvellir from 930 to 1798 AD. Many important historic and cultural events occurred here while Parliment was in session which makes it one of the most imporant places in Icelandic History. In 1799 the Alþing stopped meeting due to Danish colonialism. The Alþing started meeting again sporadically in 1848 in Reykjavik but was given only limited powers by the King of Denmark. It was 1907 before the Alþing started meeting regularly also in Reykjavik. In 1928, just before the 1000 anniversary of the foundation of Alþingi in 1930, the parliament made Þingvellir a National Park. When Iceland declared it independence from Denmark in 1944, the declaration was made at Þingvellir. Today, hundreds of thousands visit Þingvellir National Park every year and most of those visitors walk the Almannagjá.
