I always had the plan to post more shots of the wonderful Iskanderkul in Tajikistan, but it is already three years ago that I finished my trip through central Asia, and how the world has changed since then.
Beside this shot www.flickr.com/photos/115540984@N02/49221949713/in/photol..., that I posted a long time ago, there were many more.
This image was taken when we left early next morning. The scenery was gorgeous thanks to the light and the haze, and the lake got a wonderful turquoise color.
Iskanderkul is situated in the northwest of Tajikistan, in the Fann-mountains. I am not sure if it was named after Alexander the great, the stories are somewhat vague on this matter, but what is sure is that the dacha of the Tajik president is situated at the east end of the lake.
We spent two days at this lake, and although this scenery is fantastic it took me a lot of pictures to capture its grandness. Not only the lake but the surrounding mountains are so stunning you don't know where to look all the time. Enjoy!
20 September 2019 I came back from my journey over a part of the Silk Road to and through Central Asia. 4 months of traveling through 14 countries (Germany, Austria, Hungary, Romania, Turkey, Georgia, Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan, Kirgizstan, Tajikistan, Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan, Iran) before I flew home from Teheran. An impressive journey in countries that are extremely beautiful, with lovely and welcoming people and diverse cultures and history.
Intense traveling with more than 20000 kilometers in our mobile home on sometimes roads that hardly could be called that way. We saw many villages and cities (some wonderful, others very ugly), countries that are transforming from the old Soviet era into something more related to older cultures and the way people live, often funded by oil readily available around the Caspian sea. We saw the amazing mountains south of the Black Sea, the wonderful Caucasus, and the high mountains in the far east close to China with peaks over 7000 meter, and not to forget the (Bulgarian) Alps!
We crossed the great steppe of Kazakhstan. a drive of at least 5000 km, the remnants of lake Aral, once one of the biggest lakes of the world, saw a rocket launch from Baikonur (this little part is Russian owned), we crossed many high mountains passes, and drove the breathtaking canyon that comes from the Pamir, beginning at ca 4500 meter, and going down for ca. 400km to an altitude of 1300 meter, driving for 100's of kilometers along the Afghan border.
And then the numerous lakes with all sorts of different colors from deep cobalt blue to turquoise, and one rare spectacle in Turkmenistan where a gas crater is burning already for more than 40 years. And finally and certainly not the least to mention an enormous amount of wonderful, hospitable and welcoming people. The woman often dressed in wonderful dresses, and bringing a lot of color in the streets of almost of all countries we visited.

WIT: I thought these meters looked pretty industrial - i liked the yellow colour of the pipes.
Colored LED lights and recorded music greet visitors to the 528-meter Brockville Railway Tunnel (1860) in downtown Brockville, Ontario, Canada.
At 7,206 meters (23,642 feet) high, Norin Gangsang ri is the 105 th highest mountain in the world. Norin Kang is part of the Nagarze Himalaya in Tibet. The geographic coordinates of the mountain are 28°56'48?N, 90°10'42?E. The mountain prominence (a measure of vertical separation between mountains) of Norin Gangsang ri is 2,160 meters and its parent mountain is Tongshanjiabu. The first ascent of Norin Gangsang ri occurred in 1986.

Finally, I took a new 350 meters (1,148 ft) zipline at the other end of the canyon. In this one I could make several positions and breathe the pure air, excellent to relax after all the extreme activities.

An ammeter is also called a current meter. It is an instrument for measuring electric current. The force of current becomes powerful in amperes, thus giving rise to the name ammeter.
Nowadays, ammeters are used, which are essentially voltmeters with a low ohm resistance across the encounter.

The Inca jay (Cyanocorax yncas) is a bird species of the New World jays, which is endemic to the Andes of South America.
Their basic diet consists of arthropods, vertebrates, seeds, and fruit.
The range extends southwards in the Andes from Colombia and Venezuela through Ecuador, Peru, and Bolivia.

The Yellow-backed Oriole is well-named, as it is one of the very few species of orioles with a yellow back. Indeed, this oriole shows only two colors, yellow and black: the wings are entirely black, the feathers lacking the white or yellow feather margins that are shown by most other species of oriole.
The Yellow-backed Oriole has an oddly discontinuous distribution: it occurs from southern Mexico south to northeastern Nicaragua, and again from Panama south to northern Colombia and Venezuela, but is absent from Costa Rica and from most of Nicaragua. This oriole has a very broad elevational range, ranging up to 2500 m in Central America and almost to 2700 m in Colombia.

At 190.4 meters, Turning Torso is the third tallest residential building in Europe, after the 264-meter skyscraper Triumph Palace in Moscow and the 212-meter skyscraper Sky Tower in Wrocław.
The construction is based on nine cubes with five floors in each cube. Including the intermediate floors, there will be a total of 54 floors. Each floor is about 400 m². The total office space comprises approx. 4,200 m² and is located in the two lowest cubes. Cube three to cube nine comprise a total of 147 apartments. The top two floors (53 and 54) are the Turning Torso Meetings conference facility. Each floor basically consists of a square part around the core and a triangular part, which is partly supported by an external steel support structure. The entire structure turns a quarter of a turn on its way up.

* The Mauna Kea Observatories (MKO) are a number of independent astronomical research facilities and large telescope observatories that are located at the summit of Mauna Kea on the Big Island of Hawaiʻi, United States.
The facilities are located in a 525-acre (212 ha) special land use zone known as the "Astronomy Precinct", which is located within the 11,228-acre (4,544 ha) Mauna Kea Science Reserve.
The Astronomy Precinct was established in 1967 and is located on land protected by the Historical Preservation Act for its significance to Hawaiian culture. The presence and continued construction of telescopes is highly controversial due to Mauna Kea's centrality in native Hawaiian religion and culture, as well as for a variety of environmental reasons.
The location is near ideal because of its dark skies from lack of light pollution, good astronomical seeing, low humidity, high elevation of 4,205 meters (13,796 ft), position above most of the water vapor in the atmosphere, clean air, good weather and low latitude location.
The peak on the far right is Mauna Loa which is only slightly shorter than Mauna Kea.

Mohave Point is located at an altitude of 2,125 meters. Another remarkable viewpoint on West Rim Drive.
The West Rim Drive consists of the driveable section from Grand Canyon Village west to the road's endpoint at Hermits Rest. In this context, however, drivable means that this 13.1-kilometer section can be traveled from March 1 to November 30 by a regularly scheduled, free shuttle bus. During this time, however, the route is closed to private vehicles. The trail runs along the canyon rim past Trailview Overlook, Maricopa Point, Powell Point, Hopi Point, Mohave Point, The Abyss and Pima Point.
I spent a week and a half at home - my parents' house - the house where I grew up. But it's still home. Seattle is home as well. Home isn't something so easily defined.
"The life of wandering makes a three days residence in one place feel like home," wrote a young Nathaniel Hawthorne. And he wasn't wrong.
The places I've visited the most - Oglala and Curlew National Grasslands - are very much home, at least in comparison to the random towns and woods I've briefly troubled.
When I establish my campsite for the evening, I look at my tent, the trees and brush and grasses surrounding it and admire my home. When I travel, my car is home - though an uncomfortable one.
Home is comfort and relaxation; it is a vanishment of anxiety. There, the road (also a type of home) is farthest away, perhaps even a full eight hours away.
But the place where you were born, where you grew and left, that can never not be home. Home may be solace and relief, cheer and consolation. But even if home is not that, can never be that, your hometown is still home. Your home is still home.
And there may even be some uneasy peace, some galling comfort in that fact. Home is your home, but not your only home.
This is not to say that you can somehow step into the same river twice or that you can actually go back. It is true, you can't go home again. The home you return to after so many miles and so many years is not the home you left.
But it is home. It is always home. The river is still the river, just not the same river. And we are not the same bathers. Perhaps we've changed much more than the river, than home.
I've been told that "you can never go back." And there is truth in this. But there is also a lie. We can go back home - to the old home - but we are not the same person who left, and the home is not the same home as we left it.

Whirlwind half-day tours to Isla del Sol are strictly for the been-there-done-that crowd as the island definitely merits a night or two. That said, the majority of the ruins and associated sights are located on the island's northern half, which is off-limits to tourists. In the limited area you're allowed to roam you'll find a few small ruins, lookouts and walking trails, but most visitors simply kick back and enjoy the view.
