Somdet Phra Maha Muni Si Phu Kha Pagoda is a beautiful gem on top of a majestic mountain that lies at the beginning of the enchanting Doi Phu Kha National Park. This small pagoda is in an idyllic location with a beautiful view of the mountain peaks and a well-tended garden. At an altitude of no less than 1700 meters above sea level, the air is characterized by its freshness and clarity, resulting in a pleasant temperature of about 22 degrees Celsius. Staying in the mountains of Nan province offers travelers a chance to escape the hustle and bustle of the city and enjoy the peace and quiet of nature. It is also a great way to experience the local culture and the hospitality of the Thai people.

De provincie Nan is gelegen in het noorden van Thailand en grenst aan Laos. Het is één van de minder bekende provincies van Thailand, maar staat bekend om zijn natuurlijke schoonheid, rijke cultuur en oude geschiedenis. Het is een geweldige plek om te bezoeken als je op zoek bent naar avontuur en ontspanning in de natuur. De weg 1256 loopt door de bergen van Nan en biedt een adembenemend uitzicht op de omliggende natuur. Bijna de mooiste weg in Thailand, het uitzicht aan de kant van de weg is erg mooi, als je tijdens het regenseizoen gaat, zal de sfeer erg goed zijn. Je ziet het groen langs de twee kanten van de weg op de bergkam. Op sommige delen zie je het prachtige uitzicht op rijstvelden over de heuvels. Het kan op sommige delen van de weg overwoekerd zijn. Onderweg zijn er verschillende interessante bezienswaardigheden en activiteiten om van te genieten. Het is geweldig om vogels te spotten, te kamperen en te wandelen, en het is onwaarschijnlijk dat je veel andere mensen tegenkomt tijdens het verkennen. Je kunt ook een bezoek brengen aan de Doi Phu Kha National Park, dat bekend staat om zijn prachtige watervallen, weelderige bossen en spectaculaire uitzichten. Heerlijk koel weer het hele jaar door. Daarnaast zijn er ook verschillende bergstammen-dorpen langs de weg, waar je de kans hebt om de lokale cultuur en tradities te ervaren. Somdet Phra Maha Muni Si Phu Kha Pagoda is een prachtig juweel bovenop een majestueuze berg die aan het begin van het betoverende Doi Phu Kha National Park ligt. Deze kleine pagode is idyllisch gelegen met een prachtig uitzicht op de bergtoppen en een goed onderhouden tuin. Op een hoogte van maar liefst 1700 meter boven zeeniveau kenmerkt de lucht zich door zijn frisheid en helderheid, wat resulteert in een aangename temperatuur van zo'n 22 graden Celsius. Een verblijf in de bergen van de provincie Nan biedt reizigers de kans om te ontsnappen aan de drukte van de stad en te genieten van de rust en stilte van de natuur. Het is ook een geweldige manier om de lokale cultuur en de gastvrijheid van de Thaise bevolking te ervaren. Het uitzicht op de majestueuze bergen in de verte is simpelweg verbluffend en geeft een gevoel van ongekende vrijheid en grootsheid.

A spring day exploring the back roads and scenic byways in Baker County Oregon.
Spent the day enjoying the arrival of Spring in Baker County Oregon. Wildflowers are starting to bloom and birds are starting to arrive for spring migration. Spotted a few new arrivals including white crowns yellow headed, redwing, and brewer’s blackbirds, and found ourselves under the watchful eye of several Great Horned Owls.

The province of Nan is located in the north of Thailand and borders Laos. It is one of the lesser known provinces of Thailand, but is known for its natural beauty. Rice planting is one important agricultural activity in Thailand and it is part of the country's culture and traditions. The rice planting process in Thailand starts with preparing the soil. The farmers plow the soil to loosen it and provide it with nutrients. Then the rice seeds are planted in separate beds. After the seeds have germinated, the young rice plants are planted on the rice fields. These rice fields are usually arranged in terraces to better manage the water and ensure even irrigation. Planting rice is usually done manually, where the farmers manually put the rice plant into the ground. After planting, the fields are usually immersed in water to protect the rice plants from weeds and pests. After about 4 to 6 months, the rice is fully grown and ready to be harvested. After harvesting, the rice grains are washed and dried before being stored or sold at the market. Rice is an important source of food in Thailand and is used in many dishes from curries to fried rice dishes.
We were warmly welcomed to the enchanting farm stay ฮ้างนาตาจันทร์ in Pua, nestled in the middle of vast rice fields. As we immersed ourselves in the soothing atmosphere of Doi Phu Kha National Park, our senses were pampered with the lush green splendor of nature. It was a true oasis of serenity, where we could settle down and completely relax. The mornings started with a gentle breeze that greeted us as we enjoyed a delicious breakfast with fresh local produce. In the afternoon we cooled down at the nearby Tat Luang waterfall, a majestic waterfall that let its cool water flow into beautiful pools. In the evening, the moonlight lit up the rice fields like an enchanting spectacle. We basked in the stillness of the night, surrounded by a symphony of crickets and the soothing sounds of nature.
De provincie Nan is gelegen in het noorden van Thailand en grenst aan Laos. Het is één van de minder bekende provincies van Thailand, maar staat bekend om zijn natuurlijke schoonheid. Rijstplanten is één belangrijke landbouwactiviteit in Thailand en het is een onderdeel van de cultuur en de tradities van het land. Het proces van rijstplanten in Thailand begint met het voorbereiden van de grond. De boeren ploegen de grond om deze los te maken en te voorzien van voedingsstoffen. Vervolgens worden de rijstzaden in aparte bedden geplant. Nadat de zaden zijn ontkiemd, worden de jonge rijstplantjes uitgeplant op de rijstvelden. Tijdens het planten van de rijst worden de deelnemers vermaakt met muziek en zang, en wordt er vaak eten en drinken gedeeld. Bij het samen rijst planten komen de lokale gemeenschappen bij elkaar om samen rijst te planten. Dit is niet alleen een manier om de rijstoogst te voltooien, maar ook een gelegenheid om de sociale banden binnen de gemeenschap te versterken. Na ongeveer 4 tot 6 maanden is de rijst volgroeid en klaar om geoogst te worden. We werden hartelijk verwelkomd in de betoverende boerderijaccommodatie ฮ้างนาตาจันทร์ in Pua, gelegen te midden van uitgestrekte rijstvelden. Terwijl we ons onderdompelden in de rustgevende sfeer van het Doi Phu Kha National Park, werden onze zintuigen verwend met de weelderige groene pracht van de natuur. Het was een ware oase van sereniteit, waar we konden neerstrijken en volledig ontspannen. De ochtenden begonnen met een zacht briesje dat ons begroette terwijl we genoten van een heerlijk ontbijt met verse streekproducten. In de namiddag vonden we verkoeling bij de nabijgelegen Tat Luang waterval, een majestueuze waterval die zijn koele water in fraaie poelen liet stromen. 's Avonds verlichtte het maanlicht de rijstvelden als een betoverend schouwspel. We koesterden ons in de stilte van de nacht, omringd door een symfonie van krekels en het rustgevende geluid van de natuur..

The desert is a fascinating location for photography. The word often brings images of drab featureless landscape, but that’s seldom true. The first Desert I officially visited in the United States was at the Joshua Tree National Park, which is home to the hotter Colorado desert to the east and a cooler but drier the Mojave Desert to the north. The Joshua Trees are endemic to the Mojave Desert ecosystem.
During my first visit, I had a sensory overload and had a terrible time getting good images. It's hard not to go for an apparent wide-pano shot that captures the vastness of the place. After quite a bit of repeated visits, I learned a secret, the photographic interest of the Desert is not the color of the golden hour but the texture of its elements. I also learned that the late evening or early morning light works better along with standard or short tele. A desert is one of the best places to break out your tele focal lengths.
Today's shot was taken at one of SoCal's signature desert landscapes, Fonts Point at the Anza Borrego Desert. We were hoping for sunset but had reached way earlier than anticipated. So, I spend some time playing around with focal lengths isolating some of the landmarks visible from our high vantage point.

A beautiful spring day exploring the back roads and landscapes of Baker County Oregon near the towns of Keating and Baker City.
Spent the day watching the seasons change in Eastern Oregon, with big dramatic skies. Lots of baby calves beginning to arrive on the nearby ranches, and while it’s a little early for spring migration still but spotted a few fun birds including lots of Red Tail Hawks and several nesting great horned owls.

Luosto is a scenic tourist destination located in the heart of Lapland, Finland. It is particularly popular for its beautiful natural environment, with extensive forests, hills and impressive scenery that attracts visitors in both winter and summer. Luosto is located in the middle of the rugged Lapland landscape. In winter, the forests are covered with a thick layer of snow and offer excellent opportunities for activities such as skiing, snowmobile tours and husky rides. The Pyhä-Luosto National Park is known for its spectacular fjells mountains and untouched nature. Hiking trails lead to the top of the Pyhä-Luosto Fjell, where you can enjoy breathtaking views of the surrounding wilderness. Luosto is also home to one of the world's only active amethyst mines. Visitors can participate in guided tours and look for amethyst stones themselves, a unique and fun experience. Luosto is an excellent location to see the Northern Lights, especially during the,b>cold winter evenings when the sky is clear. The dancing lights are a magical spectacle that attracts many visitors. In addition to winter sports in Luosto, there are also cozy restaurants and accommodations to enjoy the local cuisine and relax after a day full of adventure. Luosto is a destination that will appeal to nature lovers and adventurers alike, offering a unique combination of Arctic wilderness and exciting outdoor activities. It is an ideal place to enjoy the peace and beauty of Lapland, away from the hustle and bustle of urban areas. Snowshoeing, also known as snowshoe trekking, is a winter activity where people wear special snowshoes to walk on deep snow without sinking in. These snowshoes distribute the person's weight over a larger surface area, making it easier to walk on soft snow. In Finnish, snowshoeing is called lumikenkäily. Lumi means snow and kenkä means shoe, so lumikenkäily literally refers to using snowshoes.
Luosto is a well-known tourist destination in Lapland, Finland, situated in the municipality of Sodankylä. It is celebrated for its stunning natural surroundings, winter activities, and the Pyhä-Luosto National Park. In January, daylight hours are very short due to the polar night, a phenomenon occurring in areas above the Arctic Circle, including Lapland. We embarked early in the darkness on our journey to Luosto. The snow here resembles an untouched white carpet, with trees draped in a thick layer of powder snow. Every step disrupts the serene silence of the snowy surroundings; the crunching sound of fresh snow under my hiking boots fills the air. The trees gently bend under the weight of the snow, and nature appears to be in a deep winter slumber. We plan to climb its spectacular fjells (mountains) and explore its pristine wilderness.
Luosto is een schilderachtige toeristische bestemming gelegen in het hart van Lapland, Finland. Het is vooral geliefd om zijn prachtige natuurlijke omgeving, met uitgestrekte bossen, heuvels en een indrukwekkend landschap dat zowel in de winter als in de zomer bezoekers trekt. Luosto bevindt zich te midden van het ruige Laplandse landschapbergen en ongerepte natuur. Wandelpaden leiden naar de top van de Pyhä-Luosto Fjell, waar je kunt genieten van adembenemende uitzichten over de omliggende wildernis. Luosto herbergt ook een van 's werelds enige actieve amethistmijnen. Bezoekers kunnen hier deelnemen aan rondleidingen en zelf op zoek gaan naar amethiststenen, een unieke en leuke ervaring. Luosto is een uitstekende locatie om het noorderlicht te zien, vooral tijdens de koude winteravonden wanneer de lucht helder is. De dansende lichten zijn een magisch schouwspel dat veel bezoekers trekt. Naast wintersporten in Luosto zijn ook gezellige restaurants en accommodaties om te genieten van de lokale keuken en te ontspannen na een dag vol avontuur. Luosto is een bestemming die zowel natuurliefhebbers als avonturiers zal aanspreken, met een unieke combinatie van arctische wildernis en opwindende buitenactiviteiten. Het is een ideale plek om te genieten van de rust en schoonheid van Lapland, weg van de drukte van stedelijke gebieden. Wanneer we uit de auto stappen lijkt de natuur hier in diepe winterslaap. De bomen buigen zachtjes onder het gewicht van de sneeuw. We zijn van plan om de spectaculaire fjells bergen te beklimmen en de ongerepte natuur te verkennen. Luosto biedt een prachtig landschap voor avontuurlijke activiteiten en de mogelijkheid om te genieten van de rust en schoonheid van de Finse wildernis. Snowshoeing, ook wel bekend als sneeuwschoenwandelen, is een winterse activiteit waarbij mensen speciale sneeuwschoenen dragen om over diepe sneeuw te lopen zonder erin weg te zakken. Deze sneeuwschoenen verdelen het gewicht van de persoon over een groter oppervlak, waardoor ze gemakkelijker over zachte sneeuw kunnen lopen. In het Fins staat snowshoeing bekend als lumikenkäily. Lumi betekent sneeuw en kenkä betekent schoen, dus lumikenkäily verwijst letterlijk naar het gebruik van sneeuwschoenen.

: Ancient stone archway along the trail to Katholiko Bay, Crete. The weathered structure stands on rocky ground, overlooking a rugged hillside that slopes toward the sea. Surrounded by sparse Mediterranean vegetation and framed by a partly cloudy sky, the scene evokes the island’s layered history and the raw beauty of its coastal wilderness.
Vieille arche en pierre sur le sentier menant à la baie de Katholiko, en Crète. La structure érodée se dresse sur un sol rocailleux, dominant une colline escarpée qui descend vers la mer. Entourée de végétation méditerranéenne clairsemée et sous un ciel partiellement nuageux, la scène reflète l’histoire stratifiée de l’île et la beauté brute de sa côte sauvage.

The Gergeti Trinity Church, located in Georgia, is situated on a mountain top near the village of Gergeti, near Stepantsminda Kazbegi in the Caucasus region, at an altitude of about 2,170 metres. The first light of dawn in the foreground of the photo enhances the mystical character of the location, while the snow-capped peaks and the dark silhouettes of the church emphasize the dramatic atmosphere of the landscape. This area is popular with hikers and photographers for its breathtaking views and historical value. The impressive snow-capped peaks of Mount Kazbek in the background are illuminated by the golden glow of the rising sun. The Georgian Orthodox church was built in the 14th century and is a beautiful example of medieval Georgian architecture. The church is an important national symbol of Georgia and attracts many pilgrims and tourists every year. Behind the Gergeti Trinity Church lies Kazbek (in Georgian: მყინვარწვერი, Mkinvartsveri), with an altitude of 5,054 meters one of the highest and most famous mountains in Georgia and the Greater Caucasus. Although the mountain is hidden in this photo, Kazbek is known for its impressive presence and mythological significance. Kazbek is an extinct stratovolcano. The name Mkinvartsveri means the Icy Peak in Georgian. The mountain is popular among mountaineers and adventurers. The standard route for the ascent usually starts from Stepantsminda, with the Gergeti Trinity Church serving as the starting point. Kazbek is often covered in snow and ice, which adds to the spectacular and mysterious appearance of the region. On clear days, the summit offers beautiful panoramic views of the Caucasus.
Gergeti Trinity Church is a 14th-century church in Georgia, located at an altitude of 2,170 meters near the village of Gergeti. It is located near Stepantsminda (Kazbegi), overlooking the majestic Mount Kazbek in the Caucasus. The church is an important symbol of Georgia and attracts many pilgrims and tourists. Due to its remote location, it offers spectacular and mystical views of the mountains.
De Gergeti Trinity Church, gelegen in Georgië, bevindt zich op een bergtop bij het dorp Gergeti, nabij Stepantsminda Kazbegi in de Kaukasus-regio, op ongeveer 2170 meter hoogte. Het eerste zonlicht van de ochtend op de voorgrond van de foto versterkt het mystieke karakter van de locatie, terwijl de besneeuwde bergtoppen en de donkere silhouetten van de kerk de dramatische sfeer van het landschap benadrukken. Dit gebied is geliefd bij wandelaars en fotografen vanwege het adembenemende uitzicht en de historische waarde. De indrukwekkende besneeuwde toppen van de Kazbek op de achtergrond worden verlicht door de gouden gloed van de opkomende zon. De Georgisch-orthodoxe kerk is gebouwd in de 14e eeuw en is een prachtig voorbeeld van middeleeuwse Georgische architectuur. De kerk is een belangrijk nationaal symbool van Georgië en trekt jaarlijks veel pelgrims en toeristen. Achter de Gergeti Trinity Church ligt de Kazbek (in het Georgisch: მყინვარწვერი, Mkinvartsveri), met een hoogte van 5.054 meter een van de hoogste en bekendste bergen in Georgië en de Grote Kaukasus. Hoewel de berg op deze foto verscholen is, staat Kazbek bekend om zijn indrukwekkende aanwezigheid en mythologische betekenis. Kazbek is een uitgedoofde stratovulkaan. De naam Mkinvartsveri betekent de IJzige Top in het Georgisch. De berg is populair onder bergbeklimmers en avonturiers. De standaardroute voor de beklimming begint meestal in Stepantsminda, waarbij de Gergeti Trinity Church als startpunt dient. Kazbek is vaak bedekt met sneeuw en ijs, wat bijdraagt aan de spectaculaire en mysterieuze uitstraling van de regio. Op heldere dagen biedt de top een prachtig panoramisch uitzicht over de Kaukasus.

This house would be gone by now? I was happy to see it still standing so I could finally get a photo of it. I shot it from several different angles and haven't decided which one I like best yet?

Off the beaten path refers to something or somewhere that is out of the way or out of a central, popular or touristy area. [idiom defined by yourdictionary.com]
best exemplified in Frost's poem
I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I—
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.

Close to the village of Arsha in the Kazbegi region lies the Arsha Waterfall, about five kilometers from Stepantsminda Kazbegi. The hike to the waterfall is considered easy and typically takes three to four hours. The trail is unpaved but well-trodden, surrounded by lush meadows, and offers stunning views of the surrounding mountains. The waterfall is one of the lesser-known natural attractions in the area, contributing to its untouched and serene atmosphere. A bit further along is the Toti Waterfall, accessible via a steep trail that passes above the Arsha Waterfall. This waterfall offers spectacular panoramic views and is an ideal spot for a picnic. Visitors can enjoy the tranquility, the breathtaking nature, and even take a refreshing dip in the crystal-clear water. For adventure seekers, it's possible to continue the hike to the nearby Gergeti Glacier, making the journey a full-day excursion.
The image depicts a farmhouse in a mountainous landscape near the Arsha Waterfall, close to the town of Arsha in Georgia's Kazbegi region. This area is renowned for its rugged wilderness, towering mountains, and traditional villages.
Nabij het dorp Arsha in de Kazbek regio, ligt de Arsha-waterval, op ongeveer vijf kilometer van Stepantsminda Kazbegi. De wandeling naar de waterval wordt als eenvoudig beschouwd en duurt doorgaans drie tot vier uur. Het pad is ongebaand maar goed begaanbaar, omringd door weelderige weiden en biedt prachtige uitzichten op de omliggende bergen. De waterval is een van de minder bekende natuurlijke attracties in het gebied, wat bijdraagt aan de ongerepte en serene sfeer. Nog iets verder ligt de Toti-waterval, bereikbaar via een steil pad dat bovenlangs de Arsha-waterval loopt. Deze waterval biedt spectaculaire panoramische uitzichten en is een ideale plek voor een picknick. Bezoekers kunnen hier genieten van de rust, de natuur en zelfs een verfrissende duik nemen in het heldere water. Voor avonturiers is het mogelijk om verder te trekken naar de nabijgelegen Gergeti-gletsjer, wat de wandeling tot een dagvullende activiteit maakt.
