The Pendung Semurup 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! See more detailed descriptions here: www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.599289883456558.1073741...

After visiting the residence of the Queen at Windsor Castle, we tumbled upon a small street with little boutiques selling tea sets, miniature furniture, and delicious bakeries. While my friends shopped, I explored the streets and buildings outside and found this looking glass. I thought the view looking through it was interesting so I decided to capture this memory.

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.

... in Asolo, a picturesque, off the beaten path, hill town, that you did not want to leave. A traveler could sit back, enjoy the local culinary, and feel as he could blend. It was easy to see why famous poets made Asolo their home.

Olivet Cemetary in Hugo, OK where Freckles Brown, Lane Frost and a lot of circus performers are buried.

The last of the spruce tree along the stretch of Dalton Highway. Unfortunately, the tree is dying as someone removed the bark from the tree, effectively killing the tree. It seems that there is a new spruce tree just a feet away, so making that the unofficial "last spruce tree" in that area.

Those ears perfectly explain why California's version are named "mule" deer.

 

Roaming freely thru a hilly, grassland and oak tree-covered area of northern California that is also occupied by ranch-style homes, wildlife seems to continue to move about more or less freely. The roads here are narrow and windy, so traffic is slow and cars don't seem much of a threat to wildlife. One of those rare places that wildlife and humans seemingly co-exist in 'mutual harmony'. I'm sure the fact that "it takes money to live here" means none of the residents feel the need to hunt... at least where they live. And any "interlopers" with hunting in mind will be obvious.

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

Cuttalossa Rd , nice gravel road . This is why I don't ride on those skinny tires , if I see something interesting , away I go . I was riding my 10 speed touring bike on hiking paths before those sissies in California got around to " inventing " mountain bikes . Like every kid in the world wasn't already riding off road .

Bear Grylls sat on that very tree. Funny how dramatic he makes everything look on the television show.
