Stilpnia heinei
(Black-capped Tanager / Tangara capirotada)
Black-capped Tanagers are vividly-colored tropical birds that occur in Colombia, Venezuela, Ecuador and Peru. They often occur in pairs foraging in bushes and trees for insects and fruit.
It is one of the few species in the genus that shows obvious sexual dichromatism, with males primarily gray-blue in color with a distinctive black cap, and females yellow-green without a black cap.

Colaptes rubiginosus
(Golden-olive woodpecker / Carpintero verdidorado)
The golden-olive woodpecker (Colaptes rubiginosus) is a resident breeding bird from Mexico south and east to Guyana, northwest Argentina, Trinidad and Tobago. It was formerly placed in the genus Piculus. The scientific name rubiginosus means "full of rust", describing the color of the bird's wings and back.
The habitat of this woodpecker is forests, more open woodland, and cultivation. It is most common in the mountains. Due to its habitat—mainly montane forest, separated by large rivers—it has evolved into about 20 subspecies. Andean birds show a pale eyering.
Golden-olive woodpeckers mainly eat insects, including ants and beetle larvae, with some fruit and berries.
( I had to cut the upper side a little bit, I had a small, brightly lit area that bothered me , the light and the colours are because of
the sunset )
Thank you very much for your visit and fave !

La Ceja, Colombia; 2.300 meters above sea level.
The Scrub Tanager is a common open country bird of the Colombian and Ecuadorian Andes. Due to its preference for scrub and bushy areas, it is most easily found in dry intermontane ‘rainshadow’ valleys but is expanding into more humid areas in the wake of human disturbance.
The Scrub Tanager is identified by its silvery greenish plumage, rust-colored cap and black mask. In further contrast to this typically gregarious genus, the Scrub Tanager most often is encountered as solitary pairs.

Tangara labradorides labradorides
(Metallic-green tanager / Tangara verdinegra)
Metallic-green Tanagers inhabit humid montane forests in the Andes in Colombia, Ecuador, and Peru. They are mostly blue-green in color, although strongly they appear to be blue or green can change, depending upon light conditions.
Their diet consists almost entirely of arthropods and fruits. Metallic-green Tanagers are usually found in pairs or small groups and often join flocks consisting of multiple tanager species.
There are two recognized subspecies of the Metallic-green Tanager (Storer 1970):
-labradorides Boissinneau 1840; type locality Santa-Fé de Bogota [Colombia]
Occurs in western and central Colombia and in western Ecuador (Storer 1970, Hilty and Brown 1986, Ridgely and Greenfield 2001).
-chaupensis Chapman 1925; type locality Chaupe, Cajamarca, Peru
Occurs in southeastern Ecuador and in northern Peru (Storer 1970, Ridgely and Greenfield 2001, Schulenberg et al. 2007).

The Palm Tanager is one of the most widespread and familiar birds of the neotropics, from Nicaragua south to southern Brazil. They are common at forest borders, but also occur in the canopy of the interior of forest. As the name suggests, Palm Tanagers often are associated with palm trees, but by no means are they restricted to living in palms.

When you stand next to Iguazu’s tallest waterfall it’s easy to understand why it’s named Devil’s Throat. You can feel the immense power as the rush of water goes over the falls and drops more than 80 meters. I was struggling to keep my camera dry but managed to snap this close-up pic before retreating from the intense ever-present spray.

For a short while, I had the company of an alligator about 3 feet / 1 meter long. I thought it would be nice to get a shot of her. A 105mm lens is not a very good lens for photographing wildlife, though. Especially wildlife that you really don't care to get particularly close to. She also seemed very wary, eyes just above the water and always keeping her distance. About 5 minutes later, there was a major splash out in the lake as she got the better of some hapless critter for breakfast. Low ISO landscape exposure settings are very poor for capturing wildlife action. So, all I can show you is the leftover ripples.
Thanks for stopping by!
i had a wonderful photo session watching her drying out her wings... by the way it was a big help for her because the birds didn't attack her... only a few meters away there was another one still in her avatar - and it was only a moment I changed the position of my tripod that a bird came and got it as a good full protein meal...

De laatste bijdrage vanuit mij is alweer ruim anderhalve week geleden, en dat had een reden. Het was namelijk opnieuw tijd voor een meerdaags uitstapje naar het buitenland. Alweer de vierde van dit jaar, en dat terwijl we pas in juni zitten. Ik heb dus zeker niks te klagen. Redelijk wat vrije tijd en weinig verplichtingen buitenom werk maken de ruimte om weg te gaan vrij groot, en deze mogelijkheden worden dan ook met beide handen aangenomen. Waar ik begin mei een bezoek aan Zweden bracht, zou het in de tweede helft van juni compleet de andere kant op gaan, namelijk Slovenië. Net als begin mei was het in mijn vrije week maar in een beperkte regio echt zonnig weer. Na een dikke maand stabiel en zonnig weer over grote delen van Europa, was het afgelopen week flink instabiel en onstuimig wat resulteerde in veel bewolking en stevige onweersbuien. De zuidoostelijke regio onder de Alpen zou de meeste zonuren pakken, wat mooi uit kwam voor een bezoek aan de befaamde "Koperrampe". Deze spoorlijn stond hoog op het lijstje en kon dus perfect deze week afgestreept worden.
Waar Slovenië vooral bekend staat om haar bergachtige landschappen, en de overgang van West-Europa naar de Balkanlanden, heeft het land op het gebied van spoor ook een opvallende regio. Het land kent een zeer korte kustlijn, ingeklemd tussen Italië en Croatië, waaraan de havenstad Koper ligt. Deze compacte haven die pal naast het stadscentrum ligt, kent een relatief hoog niveau aan goederenverkeer per spoor. Vooral containers, auto's, verschillende oliën en ertsen kennen hun weg naar deze drukke maar kleine haven. Om de haven te verlaten moet men een klim van 500 meter, verspreid over zo'n 25 kilometer, trotseren over de Koperrampe. Deze extreem steile spoorlijn is uniek in zijn soort. Het gehele baanvak is op drie kruisingsmogelijkheden na, compleet enkelsporig. De omgeving is werkelijk adembenemend, en doordat de spoorlijn een flinke haarspeldbocht kent, en dus op een aantal punten parallel aan zichzelf loopt, met daarin een flink hoogteverschil, zijn treinen regelmatig al een kwartier van tevoren bovenin, of juist onderaan te zien voordat ze uiteindelijk langs je heen rijden. Al met al een hele ervaring dus!
Naast de fantastische omgeving en het heerlijke Zuid-Europese vakantiegevoel wat je hier krijgt, is er nog wat ander leuks te treffen op deze spoorlijn. Dat betreffen namelijk de loccen uit de reeks 363 van de Sloveense staatsspoorwegen SŽ. Net als de 1600 en 1700 locomotieven in Nederland, zijn ook deze zes-assers gebouwd door het Franse Alstom en hebben daarbij het fraaie Nèz-Cassé uiterlijk gekregen. Samen met de moderne 541'ers, of beter bekend als 1216's, domineren de locomotieven op de Koperrampe. Veel meer dan deze twee loctypes heeft SŽ niet te bieden, en aangezien privaten naar de haven van Koper heel schaars zijn, moet je het veelal hiermee doen. Gelukkig waren juist deze Nèz-Cassé locomotieven op het gebied van materieel het hoofddoel van deze uitstap naar Slovenië. Deze bijna 50 jaar oude locomotieven vind je dagelijks op treinen van en naar Koper, maar de verhouding tussen de oudjes en de modernere locomotieven van Siemens is elke periode weer anders. De ene dag of zelfs week tref je meer "neusjes" en de andere periode zijn het weer meer 1216's, als ik de verhalen mag geloven. Wij hadden in ieder geval het geluk aan onze zijde, want het overgrote deel van de treinen van SŽ werd deze week getrokken door de gewilde 363'ers!
Na een flinke rit vanuit Nederland naar Slovenië op de maandag, werd de dinsdagochtend begonnen bij Dekani, op een steenworp afstand van Koper. Tijdens de langste dagen van het jaar kun je hier zo'n twee uur staan, wat 's ochtends vroeg überhaupt een van de weinige bruikbare locaties is. Terwijl de omgeving zo'n 10 minuten verder rijden flink bergachtig is met steile kliffen en hellingen, is het hier veelal vlak met veel boomgaarden waaraan verschillende fruitsoorten groeien. De kust ligt hemelsbreed ook maar zo'n 5 kilometer verderop, en de treinen die je hier fotografeert zijn zojuist vertrokken vanaf het emplacement van Koper en beginnen hier aan de eerste helling, wat goed te zien is op de foto.
Het eerste uur in Dekani werden er vooral wortels geschoten, en kwam alles vanuit de verkeerde richting voorbij. We hoopten uiteraard wel even goed te beginnen, maar actie vanuit de haven was er dus nog niet. Maar zoals altijd word bij mij geduld beloond, en zo ook deze ochtend weer. Rond kwart over acht is er dan eindelijk vanuit de juiste richting getoeter hoorbaar, en eigenlijk direct was het te horen dat het hier om een Nèz-Cassé ging. Een halve minuut later verschijnt dan inderdaad de karakteristieke neus in de verte, en is te zien hoe een sleepje ketels erachteraan hobbelt. De eerste trein van de dag was meteen een klapper van jewelste in dit prachtige licht! Terwijl de trein dichterbij kwam werd er nog eens getoeterd, wat hier veel gedaan wordt. Gelukkig was het op het moment van afdrukken stil, en was de eerste plaat van de vakantie een feit!
Het is 8:17 als in de warme zomerse ochtendzon de heerlijke schone SŽ 363 002 de twee Nederlanders passeert met een nogal bruin uitgevallen sleepje Millet ketelwagens. Deze ketelwagens zijn vaste klant in Koper, en zie je dus meerdere keren per dag voorbij komen. De trein is hier zo'n drie minuten geleden vertrokken vanuit Koper, en is op het moment van afdrukken voor de helft begonnen aan de steile klim naar Divača. Nagenoeg elke trein wordt hier opgeduwd door een 541'er van SŽ, en bij deze trein was de SŽ 541 020 de verantwoordelijke!

Cissopis leverianus (Magpie tanager / Tángara urraca)
I think this photo holds the record for the highest elevation above sea level where this bird has been seen. It is usually found in warm places at low altitude.
The magpie tanager (Cissopis leveriana) is a South American species of tanager. It is the only member of the monotypic genus Cissopis. As suggested by its common name, this blue-black and white species is superficially reminiscent of a European magpie. With a total length of 25–30 cm (10–12 in), a large percentage of which is tail, it is the longest species of tanager. It weighs 69-76 g.
It is widespread in humid tropical and subtropical woodland, plantations, second growth, and parks in South America east of the Andes. It is largely restricted to lowlands, but occurs up to an altitude of 2,000 m (6,600 ft) on the east Andean slopes.

Creag nan Gabhar translates as Rocky Hill of the Goat and stands at 834 meters. Not high enough to be a Munro but it is a Corbett.
A special feature of the alpine flora in general is its high resistance, with which it defies the challenging living conditions.

Diglossa sittoides -male-
(Rusty Flowerpiercer / Picaflor canela)
Nothing wrong with its bill. The hooked, upturned bill is used to puncture the bases of flowers for the purpose of feeding on nectar.
The Rusty Flowerpiercer is a small tanager of South American mountains. The species is found in forest, edge habitat, and gardens between 1500 and 3000 meters from the coastal mountains of Venezuela south along the Andes to northern Argentina. Total length, both sexes: 11 cm.

Take some time off from the hustle and bustle of the city and visit Muela del Diablo, a distinct rock formation formed by an extinct volcano plug. Translated as the ‘Devil’s Molar’ in English, the formation was named due to its peculiar shape when viewed from certain vantage points. You can walk to the attraction in no more than half a day, regardless of your trekking experience. Enjoy the rewards of your efforts with awe-inspiring views of La Paz and the surrounding valleys. A visit to Muela del Diablo represents just the start of the adventure when you use our La Paz sightseeing website to plot your vacation.
Geyser el Tatio is the third largest park of this type in the world (and the highest altitude in relation to sea level). For those who know the Yellowstone Park in the United States or the Haukadalur, Iceland can be a little disappointed with the waterfalls of El Tatio that rarely reach 2 meters in height, but the spectacle here is with the thrill of walking between the walls of smoke that reach more than 30 meters high and get very close to the bubbling water.
To take the risk-free ride, just follow the marked tracks and do not get too close to the fountains. Do not put your hand in the water that you will burn badly, also avoid inhaling the steam of the geysers because it is loaded with chemicals and sulfur, walk slowly, without running and feel any ill be just tell your guide who will be together of the group helping to make beautiful photos.

My legs screamed in protest, but the view from the British Lookout silenced them with a gasp. After a grueling 4-kilometer slog from the Francés Lookout, I finally stood at a staggering 1,000 meters (3,281 ft) above sea level.
Below me, the north valley unfurled like a crumpled velvet tapestry. Imposing granite walls rose from the emerald expanse, their sheer scale eliciting a muttered "what the hell?" – a phrase that perfectly captured the humbling beauty before me.
This, my friends, was the crown jewel of the French Valley – Mirador Británico, a hidden gem and undisputed highlight of the W Trek. It's not for the faint of heart; reaching this viewpoint requires a dedicated day of hiking. But for those who persevere, the reward is a jaw-dropping 360-degree panorama.
Pehoe Lake shimmered like a fallen sapphire, dwarfed by the colossal Los Cuernos peaks and the mighty Paine Grande. These granite titans, unseen from other vantage points, thrust skyward like the spires of a forgotten city.
A Grueling Ascent for Glorious Vistas
The British Lookout isn't for the weary. Those seeking a gentler pace can descend from the Francés Lookout. But for the determined hiker, a further 4 kilometers (2.5 miles) beckons. This leg promises a scenic wander through native forests, but be warned – the elevation gain is no joke. It's a 500-meter (1,640 ft) climb on a rocky path, switchbacking through dense woods before emerging into the open at Mirador Británico.
The effort, however, is utterly eclipsed by the reward. From this lofty perch, you'll have a front-row seat to the Cuernos' dramatic display and the surrounding forest of granite spires. Keen-eyed climbers will even spot "The Fin," a notorious challenge for mountaineers.
A Parade of Patagonian Giants
Let's not forget the supporting cast in this awe-inspiring spectacle. From left to right, a parade of majestic peaks unfolds: Cerro Castillo (1,421 m / 4,662 ft), the towering twins of Cerro Los Gemelos (1,998 m / 6,555 ft), the needle-like Cerro Aguja de los Quiquichos (1,703 m / 5,587 ft), the stubby Cerro El Tambor (230 m / 754 ft), the imposing Cerro Cota (2,000 m / 6,562 ft), the aptly named Catedral (Cathedral Hill) at a staggering 2,200 m / 7,218 ft, and the Shark's Fin (Aleta de Tiburón) at 1,717 m / 5,633 ft, just to name a few. (Hover over the photo if you're on a computer to see my peak annotations!)
Nature's Masterpieces: A Cathedral Carved by Glaciers
The French Valley itself is a masterpiece of glacial sculpting. The colossal western walls of Cerro Cota 2000 (2,000 m / 6,562 ft) and Cerro Catedral (2,200 m / 7,218 ft) dominate the landscape. Cerro Cota aptly lives up to its name, its highest point reaching a cool 6,562 ft. Cathedral Hill, on the other hand, earned its moniker from its sheer eastern face, which resembles a magnificent cathedral facade.
To the north, the granite ridge known as Aleta de Tiburón (Shark's Fin / 1,717 m / 5,633 ft) cuts a dramatic silhouette against the sky. Millions of years of glacial erosion have honed this peak into a climber's dream, its steep slopes a testament to nature's relentless artistry.
A Challenge Worth Taking
Reaching the British Lookout is no walk in the park. The hike is typically an out-and-back affair, with a moderate to challenging difficulty rating due to the steady elevation gain.
The full trek from Frances Domos to Paine Grande Refuge takes a whopping 10 hours, covering a challenging 23 kilometers (14 miles). The initial part is relatively easy, but the section between the French Valley's beginning and the British Lookout is a heart-thumper. This is why this vantage point is best reserved for experienced hikers.
A Fairytale Trek Through a Patagonian Paradise
The trail itself winds through a scene straight out of a fairytale. Towering, snow-capped peaks pierce the horizon, their reflections shimmering in the crystal-clear glacial lakes that dot the landscape.
But the true star of the show is the French Valley. As you round a bend in the trail, it unfolds before you like a majestic amphitheater carved

Another view of the flowering head of an elderberry plant, showing the flowers better. As you can see, there are a lot of them! The plant was at least a couple of meters/yards tall, and the flowering head was about the size of a dinner plate.
The Wikipedia tells me that elderberry flowers, and the fruit, are eaten by some people, but the fruit, or juice, should be cooked first, as the uncooked material can be toxic.
Thanks for looking! Isn't God a great artist?

Vestrahorn ("west horn") rises to a height of 454 meters (1,490 feet) above sea level. The mountain is situated on the Stokksnes Peninsula, facing the Atlantic Ocean on its southern side. The mountain is noted for its two distinctive peaks, which create a jagged, tooth-like silhouette against the sky. Unlike most mountains in Iceland, Vestrahorn (like Eystrahorn - "east horn") is composed primarily of gabbro, a dark, greenish-colored volcanic rock.
The Sumela Monastery, which stands on the foot of a steep cliff facing the Altındere Valley in the region of Maçka in Trabzon Province, Turkey, is popularly known as “Meyem Ana” (The Virgin Mary). The building complex is nearly 300 meters high and was built following the tradition of monasteries that were located outside the cities in forests near cave and source of water. The elevation of the Monastery is about 1350 meters.
The Monastery, founded in honor of the Virgin Mary, took the name of “Sumela” which derives from “Melas,” meaning black. Although it is thought that it has taken this name from the mountains, the Karadağlar (Black Mountains), on which it stands, it could also be associated with the black color of the icon of the Virgin Mary.
According to tradition, the Monastery was founded by two priests called Barnabas and Sophronius who came from Athens during the reign of the Emperor Theodousius I (AD 375 - 395). Then, in the 6th century, it was restored by the General Belisarius at the behest the Emperor Justinian who wanted it to be enlarged and restored.
The Monastery reached its final, present form in the 13th century. It gained importance during the reign of Alexios III (1349 - 1390) of the Comnenian Empire of Trabzon, which had been established in 1204. Its income was assured from imperial funds. During the time of Manuel III, son of Alexios III, and the reigns of later princes, Sumela gained further wealth from new imperial grants.
During the 18th century, many parts of the Monastery were restored and the walls were decorated with frescoes. In the 19th century, the Monastery took on an impressive appearance with the addition of larger buildings. This was the Monastery’s heyday and it attracted many foreign travelers who mentioned it in their writings.
The large building with a balcony on the front part of the cliff was used for the monks’ cells and as a guesthouse, it dates to 1860.
