Oryx is a genus consisting of four large antelope species. Three of them are native to arid parts of Africa, and the fourth to the Arabian Peninsula. Their fur is pale with contrasting dark markings in the face and on the legs, and their long horns are almost straight.
The East African oryx (Oryx beisa) inhabits eastern Africa, and the closely related gemsbok (Oryx gazella) inhabits southern Africa. Neither is threatened, though the former is considered Near Threatened by the IUCN.
The gemsbok is monotypic, and the East African oryx has two subspecies; East African oryx "proper" (O. b. beisa) and the fringe-eared oryx (O. b. callotis). In the past, both were considered subspecies of the gemsbok.- Wikipedia
This cairn is one I have regularly rebuilt on each visit......this time, no need as someone has done a great job on it, even providing a seat. August weather....windy, cool, horizontal drizzle....wonderful...not.

Oume (青梅) city proper is the apex of Musashino terrace or the alluvial fan of the Tamagawa, while Shakujii and Zenpukuji, which are some 30km from Oume, are at the edge of the fan.
Oume is located on the river terrace of the Tamagawa. It has a population of 133 thousands, and 63% of the municipal area is covered with forests. Opposite side of the river bank is a forested park.
It is situated at the mouth of the Tamagawa gorge, along which an old trunk road of Oume Kaidou (青梅街道) that connected Edo (old name of Tokyo) with Koufu (the capital of Yamanashi prefecture) was laid out.
Shinjuku (新宿) used to be a post station town on O(u)me Kaido(u). It is now one of the main streets of Shinjuku, along which famous (or notorious) Kabukicho(u) (歌舞伎町) is located.

First proper trip out for a long time and I managed to get up onto the northern edge of Kinder Scout where there were the remants of the other days snowfall. Amazing view looking over Black Ashop Moor with Manchester in the far distance.

Hoad monument, Ulverston, England.
Hoad Monument (proper name: the Sir John Barrow Monument) is a 100 ft (30.5 m) tower at the top of Hoad Hill (436 ft/133 m), to the north-east of Ulverston in the Furness area of north-west England. Paid for mainly by public subscription, the monument was erected in 1850 at a cost of £1250. It commemorates Sir John Barrow who was born in Ulverston in 1764. Sir John was a founder member of the Royal Geographical Society, and held various government posts in the 19th century becoming the Second Secretary to the Admiralty.
The monument is not a lighthouse
This photo was taken a few years ago on a pre-Christmas trip to one of my best top destinations ever, beautiful Prague... It is not only that my Grandmother was a Czech but the City is so well-fraught with wit, this Slavic spirit that makes both Slavic and non-Slavic visitors alike feel like home...Added by famous second-to-none Bohemian humour (just remember My Sweet Little Village by Jiří Menzel nominated for the Academy Award, or Jaroslav Hašek's satire The Good Soldier Schweik which is the most translated novel of Czech literature) not to mention some of the most impressive pieces of architecture, numerous theaters and squares providing venues for jazzers playing in the open-air, teamed with the world-renowned beer, and greasy and unhealthy but extremely delicious noodles with bacon bits, this is a feeling no one should miss experiencing ...
Having purchased my Canon EOS 550D just a couple of months previously, little did I know then what proper night photography was. I just stood there fascinated by the scene and thrilled to witness one of the world's most photographed sights best known for being the location from the first Mission Impossible movie. If I hadn't been a total photographic beginner then, I'd never have dared take this photo in such a lighthearted and easy going way and, of course, without a tripod (still don't have one :)...and it turns out I'd got a beginner's luck...Well, I took it anyway, and now I'm glad I did because whenever I see it I feel like going there again...and now i do have one reason more to do so...and delight in that all around at-home-like feeling once again...:)
Key word: mission impossible.:).. Cheers, my friends!
Op de IC verbinding tussen Luik en Brussel/Tournai rijden er doordeweeks nog enkele ritten met getrokken materieel. Op 18 juli besloot ik om samen met Quinn richting het Maasdal te gaan om deze treinen op de foto te zetten. Rond 14u kwamen we aan op het station van Sclaigneaux, hier konden we in de bocht vlak na het station IC 2435 vastleggen, daarna liepen we verder richting de Rue André Renard om daar IC 2436 op te wachten. Het is 15:27 als de propere 2155 met een stam M4 rijtuigen en achterop de 2105 de 3 fotografen passeert als trein 2436 naar Tournai.

Wadi Rum liegt östlich der Stadt Akaba, südlich der Stadt Maʿan und parallel zur im Westen liegenden Aravasenke. Das Wadi ist ein Gebiet mit einer Länge von etwa 100 Kilometern und einer Breite von etwa 60 Kilometern. Es liegt auf etwa 800 m Höhe, wobei die höchsten Erhebungen der Jebel Um Adaami mit 1832 m und der Dschabal Ram mit 1754 m sind.
Wadi Rum (Arabic: وادي رم) also known as The Valley of the Moon (Arabic: وادي القمر) is a valley cut into the sandstone and granite rock in southern Jordan 60 km (37 mi) to the east of Aqaba; it is the largest wadi in Jordan.[1] The name Rum most likely comes from an Aramaic root meaning 'high' or 'elevated'.[2] To reflect its proper Arabic pronunciation, archaeologists transcribe it as Wadi Ramm
