Stunning Glaciers
Located in the southern Andes and on the border between Argentina and Chile. The mountain is in between two national parks - Nahuel Huapi Park in the Argentine provinces of Río Negro and Neuquén and Vicente Pérez Rosales Park in the province of Llanquihue, Chile.
The mountain’s name comes from the Spanish word for thunder, a reference to the sound that the breaking ice glaciers make. It is 3,554 metres (11,660 feet) above sea level, towering over the surrounding Nahuel Huapi Park mountains. Mount Tronador has seven glaciers which are melting because of global warming.
Mount Tronador is Bariloche's highest mountain. Leaving from downtown, the famous National Route 40 took us south along the banks of lakes Gutiérrez and Mascardi until the intersection with Provincial Route 82.
Along the way there are stunning views of mounts Bonete and Cresta de Gallo, and we got visit one the shores of Mascardi lake. Turning right after leaving Villa Mascardi and followed a road surrounded by native forests. This area of breathtaking beauty is visited every year by mountaineers and fishing enthusiasts because it is home to the renowned Los Moscos lake and Manso river, which leads to Hess lake.
Once we reached Manso river (a river that flows from the top of Mount Tronador and changes colors along the way,) we stopped at Los Rápidos bridge to watch the trout in crystal-clear water. If you're lucky, you might also see a kingfisher, we did not.
The winding road goes up until the highest point. From there, we saw the higher valley of Manso river at its fullest, with its twisting course and green-colored water. We kept going, we reached Pampa Linda, a nice place with accommodation and food facilities. From there, we took the road to the base of the mountain where we found a cafeteria and enjoyed an incredible view of the other glaciers on Mount Tronador.
The ascent continues until the last viewpoint along the route, Ventisquero Negro, a glacier that comes down from Mount Tronador and stands out because of its dark color. On our way back we took a small detour that took us to the 30-meter (98 foot) Los Alerces waterfall.

TRIESTE
ITALIA
Giovanni Mosco, (Trieste 7 novembre 1861 -26 settembre 1924) è stato un architetto triestino un tantino eclettico. Iniziò come capomastro muratore. A Trieste fù attivo fra il 1898 e il 1911. La curiosità verso nuovi materiali e nuove tecniche, senza trascurare la lezione dell’architettura precedente, sboccerà in quell’affascinante anarchia della “Casa dei Mascheroni” (1907), il suo capolavoro. Il portone in ferro battuto, ora rinforzato da una sottile rete anticolombi, lascia intravvedere il giardino.
In questo portone vennero girate delle scene del film “Senilità” di Bolognini con Claudia Cardinale ancora agli inizi della sua carriera. Era il 1961. (dal romanzo di Italo Svevo)
Giovanni Mosco, (Trieste 7 November 1861 - 26 September 1924) was a somewhat eclectic architect from Trieste. He began as a master builder. In Trieste he was active between 1898 and 1911. Curiosity towards new materials and new techniques, without neglecting the lesson of the previous architecture, will blossom in that fascinating anarchy of the "Casa dei Mascheroni" (1907), his masterpiece. The wrought iron door, now reinforced by a thin anti-pigeon net, offers a glimpse the garden.
In this doorway scenes from the film "Senility" by Bolognini were shot with Claudia Cardinale still at the beginning of her career. It was 1961.

Of course nobody ever said so... because Sparrows are wonderful, interesting and fun-to-watch birds. The two different sparrow families - "our" old world sparrows (Passeridae) and the American new world sparrows (Passerellidae) look somewhat alike, so it is understandable why the new world sparrows were called sparrows by the first "home-sick colonists" (very fittingly described by Rosemary Mosco at the audubon.org website, link below). However, new world sparrows are more closely related to old world's buntings or Emberizidae. The bird in the picture is a Song Sparrow, found in New York State, and member of a species that can be found in all Union States of the USA and throughout Canada.
