Valle Chacabuco above Estero Portezuelo with blooming Chilotrichum sp, Patagonia.
The Chacobuco valley is part of the Patagonia National Park, established by Kris and Doug Tompkins following their purchase and rehabilitation of the 174,500 acres Estancia Valle Chacabuco. Their non-profit foundation, Conservacion Patagonica, sold off livestock, took down fences, restored grasslands and forests, and developed reintroduction programs for native species.

I've explored Douglas County for over a decade now, and there are still places that I've never seen and photos I've never taken. I usually explore it with a map, driving to and stopping at places I've plotted out. This time, with some evening hours to spare, I set out and just drove, picking random roads wherever I decided.
And I found this. The land was heavily posted, so I stayed on the public road, and still managed to take a few shots.
This is one of them.

Land is in short supply in Hong Kong, and land reclamation has been conducted there since the mid-19th century.
Hong Kong Disneyland Resort, Hong Kong International Airport, and its predecessor, Kai Tak Airport, were all built on reclaimed land.
In addition, as the city expands, new towns in different decades were mostly built on reclaimed land, such as Tuen Mun, Tai Po, Shatin, Ma On Shan, West Kowloon, Kwun Tong and Tseung Kwan O.
Much reclamation has taken place in prime locations on the waterfront on both sides of Victoria Harbour. This has raised environmental issues of the protection of the harbour which was once the source of prosperity of Hong Kong, traffic congestion in the Central district.
香港主要依賴填海來擴展土地。香港山多平地少，逼使香港政府以移山填海方式擴展土地。截至2002年，香港的填海土地已超過67平方公里，佔香港總面積超過6.5%。而填海範圍一般會在維多利亞港之內，但亦有不少填海工程於香港其他海域進行。
現時香港有3個填海工程進行中或暫停檢討中，包括中環及灣仔填海計劃、竹篙灣填海工程等。香港一百多年來的填海工程，深深影響著香港的發展。填海使一些島嶼連接陸地，亦使一些海灣的面積縮少甚至消失。

WILLIAM H. COVENTRY HOUSE & BARN
7704 Rt. 14 N., Harvard (McHenry County)
Currently for sale as part of a 287 acre, commercially-zoned tract, the 1855 William H. Coventry House & Barn were rehabilitated in 1994 by Motorola as housing for visiting executives. Closed in 2003 and under different ownership, the former Motorola campus and Coventry buildings have
deteriorated significantly, diminishing their property value and placing the historic residence and barn in danger. Local volunteers have made minor repairs, but without full access to this privately-owned property, any further stabilization is difficult. New and dedicated ownership is needed of
this historic parcel, which can be divided from the larger campus. The City of Harvard, Harvard Economic Development Corp. and the McHenry County Historical Society are working together to identify possible buyers or solutions that would ensure the preservation of the historic Coventry
property.

You don't have to travel far from the riches of Bentonville and the Walmart HQ to find small towns struggling to survive. The town of Sulphur Springs is less than an hour away from Bentonville. It has several historic attractions that led me to want to test out my Kodak Vigilant there, after I had done some home-brew CLA work on it.
I was surprised to see a lot of folks out and about when we arrived at the park. There was live music playing, and people enjoying time outdoors with their families. However, it was a little sad to see all of these old buildings downtown. They were either abandoned, lived in, ran down, or some combination of these. I think there was only one Cafe (from my previous photo) and a laundromat left surviving.
I don't know what this building was or currently is, other than being reclaimed by nature.

This was probably a grand home in what id now the ghost town of Fusilier, Saskatchewan.Now it looks as though it's being reclaimed by the surrounding vegetation.
Wandering down a back lane I found this old Cadillac that had been parked at the back of a property, slowly being reclaimed by the brambles and blackberry bushes around it. It was the only one still moderately visible, 3 other vehicles had already been overtaken and hidden from sight.

This shot (and the rest of the pictures from this series of shots) was actually for my photo class. It didn't receive credit as a "worm's eye" (a silly name for a shot taken from a low angle) because the technically-bracketed exposures all came out properly exposed, not over, not under. Awesome.
More from my trip to Les Oakes Reclamation Yard in Cheadle. I though this would have made in interesting planter for the garden, but I just couldn't quite get to it.

With the last of the sun's evening light adding a bit of warmth, its great to see nature's reclamation of this old railway bed.

These dead trees are usually partly submerged towards the edge of Colliford Lake. After our dry summer though, the water has receded to leave the trees high and dry!
