These waterfalls, approximately 15-20 meters in height, can be found on the eastern hills near the town of Semurup, and are reached after an easy, roughly one hour hike through relatively flat farmland and agroforest. Be prepared to get your feet wet wading through a few mountain streams on your way there.
While I'm waiting on the colors to appear, I'm sharing more flashbacks of falls past. These are all from last year (2012), which was a really super color season. I hope that 2013 proves to be just as fabulous!

Mt. Kunyit is an active volcano in the Kerinci Seblat National Park, Sumatra, Indonesia. The trek to the crater takes about six hours, and passes through beautiful cloud forests and beside fumrole volcanic vents. In the middle of the crater lies a bubbling hotspring, and what locals call "Taman Dewa" or "The Garden of the Gods." It has a spiritual, mythical place in local folklore, and is the site where local hero Depati Parbo meditated to supposedly gain invulnerability to Dutch bullets during the war for Kerinci.

The festivities surrounding a Kenduri Sko festival in the village of Koto Renah, Kerinci, Sumatra, Indonesia. Close to midnight, villagers in the community of Koto Renah, Sungai Penuh, Kerinci gather to perform a dance in honor of their ancestors. During the dance, commonly performed throughout Kerinci during Kenduri Sko events, possession by ancestral spirits is common (sometimes taking the form of an ancestral tiger). On this night, cycles of dancing, singing, possession, and exorcism by the local "dukun" or shaman continued until 4 am.
You can see some of the event here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=t6U5w8xAXFw
A neat little town hidden away. Surprisingly there still is a Catholic school, a few occupied homes, abandoned homes and a post office...it's not even on the map...Hmmm
Down the road is another town called Sherburne, just a community hall left.

Just off Highway 2, buried in trees and train sounds, is a town you won’t see unless you know to look. No stoplight. No shoulder. Just a sign, a rusted rail, and wildflowers refusing to stay in their lane.
Social Distancing along the Elkhorn Scenic Byway in Baker County Oregon
A beautiful Spring day exploring the back roads of Baker County Oregon along the Elkhorn Scenic byway between Sumpter and Baker City. Some great wildlife and lots of wide-open scenery and wildflowers along the way.

The beautifully painted interior of Santuario di Sant'Antonio a Fulgenzio (Sanctuary of Saint Anthony in Fulgenzio), a Franciscan church built in the early 1900s and dedicated to Saint Anthony of Padua, in the city of Lecce, Lecce province, Apulia region, southern Italy. The interior of the church is Apulian neo-Gothic style, very different from the Broque style of the main attractions in Lecce.

Century Farms and Small Town Charm Along The Elkhorn Scenic Byway in Baker County Oregon
Spent a beautiful early summer day exploring small towns and century farms along the Elkhorn Scenic Byway in Baker County. Baker County is home to more than two dozen Oregon Century Farms and Ranches and the Elkhorn Scenic Byway and back roads along the way, are a great way to explore this working landscape of the American West.
Small towns along the way like Haines and Baker City offer visitors a glimpse at small town Americana at its best.
This scenic byway circles through the Elkhorn mountains of Northeast Oregon beginning and ending in Baker City and passing through small towns like Sumpter, Granite, and Haines. The drive is incredibly scenic with wide open panoramic views across the Baker valley, high alpine forests, and following pristine rivers and creeks along the way. In the winter Anthony Lakes is home to Oregon's highest base elevation ski resort. In the summer the pristine alpine lake is a fishing and camping destination. For more information about the Elkhorn Scenic Byway or other Baker County backroads and Scenic byways visit Baker County Tourism’s website www.basecampbaker.com
A huge petrified log sits on top of a high mesa and erodes through time, falling down the side. I imagine this place at one time looked like today's Redwood Forest in a swamp. I bet it was amazing! But I wouldn't want to be wading in the waters then, I've seen what lurked below the surface (gulp!)

The terrace between Moccasin Bluff and the St. Joseph River was home to temporary camps as early as 6300 B.C. Around A.D 500, inhabitants here traded with other groups of Native Americans from Illinois and Indiana. By A.D. 1100-1400, more permanent villages were established here, and the residents farmed the local lands.
By the late 1820s, European settlers moved into the area to log and farm the land. The US government then adopted a policy of moving the local Potawatomi out of the area and further west. This bluff is said to be named for Cogomoccasin, leader of one of the nearby displaced Potawatomi villages.
In 1948, the site was excavated by a University of Michigan team, which found pottery, skeletal remains and remnants of corn and storage pits. In 2002, Michigan State University excavated a wetland area at a lower elevation that had not been previously examined.
The Moccasin Bluff Site is located on a terrace along Red Bud Trail. The terrace overlooks a wide bend in the St. Joseph River containing a pair of islands. The site is protected by a half-circle of hills to the north, west and south.
The site contained large numbers of pits of four different types: storage pits, fire pits (possibly used for baking), hearths, and smudge pits (found to contain Eastern complex corn).

Voted as one of the best beach in the world by Conde Nast - Playa Rincon. The vote is always subjective, and depends on personal preference. We would agree, it is beautiful and there are abosolutely no one on the beach.
