Had to take resort in Photomatix to bring the details out from the Laterite pathway. Hope its not overdone.
This place is somewhere between Varkala and Edava, in Trivandrum. The govt has constructed this beautiful pathway paved with laterite stones all along the edge of the cliff. I did took a 3 km walk through this path from varkala. Will share other shots too.

A group make their way round the most dangerous path in the world.
The world’s most dangerous path, 100 metres up a vertical rock face, has now become child’s play after trip organisers ask that visitors to the crumbling path, need only to be ‘at least twelve years old’ and ‘to have a good head for heights’.
Since a video, showing a walker filming himself crossing the path without using safety equipment went viral on YouTube, a number of unofficial tours have been set up to cater for hundreds of adrenalin junkies wanting to risk their lives crossing the dilapidated 110 year-old path in southern Spain before it is refurbished.
El Caminito Del Rey, also known as the King's Pathway, was originally built in 1905 for workers to travel between two hydroelectric power plants but was closed-off in 2000 after two walkers fell to their deaths. The path snakes its way precariously along cliff edges high up in El Chorro Gorge, thirty miles from Malaga.
Much of the one-metre-wide walkway is crumbing away with gaping holes, no handrails and sections that have completely fallen down. A makeshift wire has now been attached to the rock face. Walkers and climbers can clip themselves to the wire to stay safe - but some still prefer not to use any safety aids.
Work is now due to start on an 8.3 million euros project to make the pathway safe again and attract more tourists to the area. It will take three years to re-construct and will see the pathway completely rebuilt with hand rails, protective barriers, lighting and a visitors centre.
One climber on the route last week said: “It’s a shame they’re going to fix the path – it will sanitise it too much and take the thrill out of it. It’s free for us to go on right now but I’m sure they’ll make us pay to use it in the future.”
A commentator on sierra-nevada-news.com added: “I think the money could be put to better use elsewhere. On the positive side it will allow the general public access to the truly remarkable gorge scenery.”
Warning signs currently tell visitors not to use the path, explaining that it is impassable and too dangerous to use. Spanish authorities have completely removed a section at one end to make it even harder to get to. Only climbers using ropes can now access the start of the path.
On their website, Experiencebox, who charge up to 210 euros for a five hour tour of El Caminito Del Rey, explain that they provide highly qualified guides, all necessary climbing equipment, helmets and team safety equipment including a first aid kit. As well as requesting that its clients are all aged twelve or over, it also states that walkers on the ‘World’s scariest pathway’ must wear sturdy footwear and be at least 4’ 11” tall.

Take a leisurely walk on this pathway through "Heritage Grove".
Heritage Grove Redwood Preserve is a magnificent 37-acre "old-growth" Redwood forest near the small Northern California community of La Honda in the Santa Cruz Mountains. These ancient trees, some as old as 1500 years, were spared from loggers due to the determination of one woman, Grace Anne Radwell, who early in the 1970's formed a citizens group and enlisted the support of 26 environmental organizations to stop the destruction. The aroused citizenry raised funds and, along with a grant from the San Mateo Board of Supervisors, were able to acquire the land and designate it as a county park on July 25, 1974.
Eden project
The Eden Project (Cornish: Edenva) is a visitor attraction in Cornwall, England, United Kingdom. Inside the artificial biomes are plants that are collected from all around the world. The project is located in a reclaimed Kaolinite pit, located 2 km (1.2 mi) from the town of St Blazey and 5 kilometres (3 mi) from the larger town of St Austell, Cornwall.[2]
The complex is dominated by two huge enclosures consisting of adjoining domes that house thousands of plant species,[3] and each enclosure emulates a natural biome. The domes consist of hundreds of hexagonal and pentagonal, inflated, plastic cells supported by steel frames. The first dome emulates a tropical environment, and the second a Mediterranean environment.
Taken a few days before I put it together, because I always skipped past the group of three photos that were really all different. One was terribly dark and the other two were similar in exposure so I just tried them as a HDR and wow, here comes a surprise. :D

I liked the texture of the stone with its contrasting shades and the texture and colours in the foliage. Muker is a small village in the Dales in North Yorkshire
"Education is the pathway to progress and the gateway out of poverty," said Tererai Trent to schoolchildren on her visit home in October 2011. “My heart is filled with joy when I imagine you sitting in the classrooms of this school, starting your own journey to become the finest women and men you aspire to be. Make yourselves proud; show the world that “it is achievable.” Tinogona. Photo Credit: Tsvangirayi Mukwazhi
Taken after a failed star shoot over Durdle Door in Dorset I was heading back to the car along this path and Pleiades was just at the end waiting for me. Pleiades, along with Orion, were the first constellations I ever learnt as a kid (several light years ago!!) :)
