Big Horn Sheep in Burnt River Canyon in Baker County
A beautiful Fall day exploring the Burnt River Canyon and watching wildlife between Durkee and Unity in Baker County Oregon .
The Burnt River Canyon near Durkee is always one of our favorite drives for taking in the majestic scenery of Eastern Oregon and watching wildlife along the way. Saw lots of wildlife this trip as colder temperatures have pushed lots of deer down into the canyon. We were excited to spot a few Bighorn Sheep in rut during this trip

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.

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.

Brightly patterned butterflies flew around this park freely. This particular one was very bold, kept flying near me, and landed very close by and wiggled its antennae, as if studying me. I am watching it, fascinated.
