Lake Nahuel Huapi is immersed within the Nahuel Huapi National Park, which is the oldest of the Argentine national parks.
It was created by the Argentine government in 1934, on the base of the donation of 3 square leagues (7,000 ha) carried out by Francisco Pascasio Moreno for this purpose.
The park covers 717,261 ha, in a strip of about 60 km wide for about 170 km from north to south, lying on the Andes mountain range. The Nahuel Huapi National Park is internationally famous for its attractive photography. It is located between the altitudes of 700 masl and 3400 masl, it stands out for its representative ecosystems of the Patagonian Andes, inhabiting more than a thousand higher botanical species, and some 300 species of vertebrate animals.
Getting to know Victoria Island and witnessing the spectacle of the Bosque de Arrayanes is a pleasure that has been experienced by millions of visitors to this National Park but still awaits, with its intact navigation conditions, the next tourists who, like us, arrive to visit them.

Castle Duurstede is a medieval castle in Wijk bij Duurstede in the province of Utrecht in the Netherlands.
The castle originated in the 13th century. Around 1270, Zweder I van Zuylen van Abcoude built a freestanding keep on a raised and moated site near the lost city Dorestad. Until the beginning of the 15th century Duurstede Castle was in possession by the Van Zuylen van Abcoude family, until they were forced to sell it to the bishops of Utrecht in 1449.
Bishop David of Burgundy, who reigned from 1459 to 1496, completely rebuilt the castle. The old donjon was enclosed by new buildings. The still intact burgundian tower was also built around this time. His successors Frederick IV of Baden and Philip of Burgundy also used the castle as their residence, and Philip of Burgundy embellished the castle with renaissance features. Philip of Burgundy settled at Duurstede Castle when he became bishop of Utrecht in 1517. He was accompanied by his court painter Mabuse (Jan Gossaert), who helped to decorate the new palace of his master. At Philip's death, in 1524, Mabuse designed and erected his tomb in the church of Wijk bij Duurstede. After Philip's death, Charles V, Holy Roman Emperor confiscated all territorial possessions of the bishopric of Utrecht, including Duurstede Castle.
Villafàfila - Province de Zamora - Espagne
Le Parc Naturel des Lagunes de Villafàfila et les zones agricoles qui l'entourent sont réputés pour l'importante concentration d'Outardes.
Mais celles-ci sont hélas assez éloignées des pistes agricoles où l'on a l'autorisation de circuler, les restrictions du Parc Naturel imposant de ne photographier que depuis les véhicules, les affûts et camouflages étant interdits.
De plus dès le matin la transparence de l'air devient rapidement problématique pour les sujets éloignés.
La qualité des prises de vues s'en ressent comme on peut le constater : détails gommés et bokeh trouble par exemple.
The Villafàfila Lagoon Nature Park and the surrounding farmland are renowned for their high concentration of bustards.
Unfortunately, however, the Bustards are so far from the farm tracks where you are allowed to travel,
The restrictions imposed by the Parc Naturel mean that photographs can only be taken from vehicles, and it is forbidden to use camouflage.
What's more, from morning onwards, the transparency of the air quickly becomes a problem for distant subjects.
As you can see, the quality of the shots suffered as a result : details were erased and bokeh blurred, for example.
L'Outarde barbue est la plus grande des outardes et probablement un des plus gros oiseaux européens volants.
Le mâle porte un plumage roux barré de noir, la tête et le cou sont gris. Des plumes en forme de moustache ornent les deux côtés du bec.
The Great Bustard is the largest of the bustards and probably one of Europe's largest flying birds.
The male has red plumage with black stripes and a grey head and neck. Moustache-like feathers adorn both sides of the beak.
This one didn't make it home for Christmas. It should be soaking up the sun in the south US or even Central America.
There are few overwintering records for Alberta, and most of those are in the south part of the province.
I first noticed it at the same location two weeks ago. It seems to be healthy. It can fly at least the short distances I observed, and is apparently finding food in the grasses that poke up through the snow in the ditch.
It was quite unwary and often walked so close to me that I had to back off to keep the focus.
Strathcona County, Alberta.
At 9PM went for a walk with a friend to explore the area along the river. It was 15F (-9c) and 5.5 hours past sunset – not the best time for shooting, but I only had one night in town so wanted to make the most of it.
This is the Szczecin Province Office built in 1911 that sits upon a small hill and overlooks the river.

شهر لار یکی از شهرهای باستانی استان فارس می باشد که متاسفانه در سال 1339 بر اثر زلزله آسیب فراوان دید. اما تعدادی از آثار با ارزش قدیمی این شهر پس از گذشت زلزله خوشبختانه سرپا ماندند که بعدها برخی از آنها بازسازی شدند
لازم به ذکر است که شهر لار بعد از زلزله به دو بخش جدید و قدیم تقسیم شدند که بخش قدیم با مهندسی روز و با شهرسازی مناسب به همراه خانه های مقاوم ساخته شدند ولی دلبستگی مرد و بخصوص کسبه به بازار باعث شد که قسمت قدیم نیز کم کم بازسازی شوند
دو اثر تاریخی دژ اژدها پیکر که یادگاری از دوران ساسانی است و آرامگاه منسوب به مادر نادر شاه که قدمت آن به دوره تیموری و یا اوایل صفویه بر میگردد از جاذبه های تاریخی شهر هستند
به دلیل اهمیت دژ این قلعه تا قرنها بعد از دوران ساسانی، نیز استفاده میشده و امروزه به دلیل زلزله ها و جنگهای مختلف و البته کم توجهی مسئولین میراث فرهنگی شرایط خوبی ندارد. در حالیکه اگر این دژ مرمت شود میتواند به یکی از جاذبه های مهم ایران تبدیل شود .
آرامگاه منسوب به مادر نادرشاه اگر چه مشخص نیست که آرامگاه چه کسی بوده ولی بر اساس باورهای محلی این آرامگاه متعلق به مادر نادرشاه بوده که به شکل عامیانه "ننه نادر شاه" گفته میشود
این آرامگاه بر روی یک سکوی سنگی (لاشه سنگ) ساخته شده و احتمالا در گذشته های دور یکی از چهارطاقی های شهر لار بر روی این سکو وجود داشته ولی بعد ها و با تخریب آن آتشکده این آرامگاه زیبا ساخته شده که از دو قسمت مقبره و نماز خانه ستوندار در زیر آن تشکیل شده است

The Karen Long Neck Hill Tribe or "Padung" of Northern Thailand is one of the best known Thai hill tribes. As part of its culture, females stretch their necks through the use of brass rings beginning in early childhood. To avoid political persecution, the group emigrated to Thailand from Myanmar over the course of the past century.

The Barberton is a small daisy with a rosette of irregularly shaped leaves; often deeply divided. The flowers are actually flower heads made up of many, small, tightly clustered flowers or florets. The flowers may be red, pink, orange or yellow and appear from August through to December.
The shape of the flower head varies greatly. Many species have button-like heads without showy ray florets, while others have ray florets marked with spots to attract pollinating beetles which they mimic. The Daisy family is one of the largest plant families in the world, with over 23 000 species.
The Barberton Daisy grows in the northern regions of South Africa, including the Kruger National Park.
The Barberton Daisy is now thought to be the most cut flower on earth for floral arrangements.
