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...

Under the stairs, across the alley out the back door of the restaurant where we ate dinner, this is the bathroom I was shown to. Sheer brilliance.
Since I was not in Japan until June I did not see personally how bad the mess was in the beginning. Sometimes I thought I was seeing a place where almost nothing had been done in 3-4 months. This article shows very well in paired photographs the tremendous effort that has been made already and highlights how much more is left to be done.

The Musee Meachanique also featured a Santa's Workshop display. As poor little elves toiled away, slave-driver Santa laughed maniacally over his Book of Names.
Dawn breaks over Chiselbury Camp.
Overnight camp out in Chiselbury Camp, an Iron Age hill fort on the top of Fovant Down, famous for it's Great War camp badges carved in the chalk of its slopes. A 40+ mile ride from home in Southampton, up to Salisbury via Romsey and the National Cycle Network Route 24, then to Salisbury Racecourse where I picked up the old cattle drove that goes all the way to Shaftesbury.
Dusk falling meant I overshot my destination in the poor light! I rode another mile or two to Ansty before realising my mistake, and had to backtrack, so by the time I reached the old fort I had missed the sunset there and it was properly dark.
The sunrise made up for that though. Up at 5.30 and a short walk to the chalk cap badges while I brewed up some tea.
Back on the road shortly after, keen to get back before the midday heat.
The main reason to come to Cocuy is for the trekking and climbing opportunities that this high altitude wilderness offers. Within the climbing community its considered one of the last secret destination of the America’s. We came with intention to complete two days of trekking and if possible scale one of the two 5000m peaks. After obtaining our permit and additional information from the national park office in Cocuy, we decided to tackle the snow draped Pan de Azúcar 5200m it sits at the southern end of the park . This trek would also offer great views of the strange looking El Púlpito del Diablo – The Devils Pulpit sitting to the left of the peak it’s a perfect granite cube of rock. We weren’t sure whether we would be able to scale the last 200m of the peak because ropes and crampons were needed, but we were adamant we could make it to the snow line.

To discover that there is indeed an abandoned nursing home at the end of this road. I was starting to wonder, it's hidden that good.

Enjoy the ride.
I was very excited to finally see the London Eye in real life, but unfortunately, since that day was such a beautiful sunny day, there were a lot of people in this area. As I walked by the line of people waiting to get onto the London Eye, I only had a quick second to take a picture before the crowd pushed and shoved, I did not even had time to pose in the picture. Thankfully, this picture came out beautifully. I also really like it because it had only red, white and blue in the color of this picture, and it made me miss the United States while I was abroad.
Yup, me just before I jumped and everything came off...LOL
Not the best suit to wear if you are diving...butthen again, I guess that would depend on where you are when it happens

Transkei, along the Eastern Coast of South Africa. I think this picture is very poetic despite its haziness. The Xhosa boy in the pic was retrieving his herd of cattle just as the moon was beginning to rise.
Really? Well, I looked it up when I got home, and it turns out it is a Scouting Trail, and they get a patch for completing it. You know I ordered that trail guide from the site!! There are more in our area too:
