This section of Iguazu Falls is known as Devil's Throat. It is most easily seen/accessible from the Argentine side of the falls via a 1200-yard footbridge after getting off of the Jungle Train at Devil's Throat Station. I took this photo from the balcony at the end of the footbridge. The rushing water of the falls is so loud on the balcony that you almost can't hear anything else, and I got very wet from the misty overspray created by the falls. On the footbridge while walking to and from the falls we saw lots of animals and birds including Coatis and Plush Crested Jays.
Quote of the Day:
"Security is mostly a superstition. It does not exist in nature, nor do the children of men as a whole experience it. Avoiding danger is no safer in the long run than outright exposure. Life is either a daring adventure, or nothing." (Helen Keller)
Plan de la Besurta, La Ribagorza, Huesca, Aragón, España.
Ruta cuyo itinerario discurre en el entorno de las pistas de esquí nórdico de Llanos del Hospital en el Valle de Benasque. La ruta tiene su inicio en el Plan del Hospital atravesando en su recorrido bellos parajes como el Plan de Estan y el Plan de la Besurta para llegar finalmente hasta el espectacular Plan d´Aiguallut con magnificas vistas al pico Aneto. Se trata de recorrer una parte del conocido como Camino dels Aranesos que originalmente unía el Plan del Hospital con el Valle de Arán.
El recorrido se divide en tres tramos, un primer tramo muy corto y sencillo hasta el Plan de l'Estan, un segundo tramo tambien muy sencillo hasta la Besurta y un tramo final algo más exigente aunque accesible a cualquier senderista acostumbrado a la montaña hasta el Forau d´Aiguallut.
Route whose itinerary runs around the Nordic ski slopes of Llanos del Hospital in the Benasque Valley. The route begins in the Pllan del Hospital, passing through beautiful places such as the Plan de Estan and the Plan de la Besurta to finally reach the spectacular Plan d'Aiguallut with magnificent views of the Aneto peak. It involves walking through a part of what is known as the Camino dels Aranesos, which originally linked the Hospital Plan with the Aran Valley.
The route is divided into three sections, a first very short and easy section to Plan de l'Estan, a second section that is also very simple to Besurta and a final section that is somewhat more demanding although accessible to any hiker accustomed to the mountains until the Forau d'Aiguallut.

My son and I had a fantastic time fly fishing in the scenic mountains of Montana. We fished numerous rivers and streams on the trip, from small headwater streams like this to huge rivers and each stop had its own special charm. The trout in these headwater streams are quite small since the streams are very tiny and there's not much food for them to eat in this cold and rather inhospitable climate. The one exception is when you can find a meadow section filled with willow trees where the stream flow levels out for a spell and beavers build dams and lodges to live. These areas are home to more insects and many more trout and you can have great fun if you know how to catch them. It takes a lot of effort to reach an area like this but then it's like living in heaven for a short time here.
An unusual subject that caught my eye whilst out wandering on a wet afternoon - the remains of an old punga tree fern stump that has been sawn through, wet with rainwater and with new life springing from within! Worth an image I thought.

A section of my village has been cut off by a major road built in the 1950s. This is one of the houses beyond that road, sitting much deeper in the flood plain of the River Ver. It is actually a gatehouse, guarding one of the entrances to Markyate Cell (Hertfordshire), an Elizabethan mansion - also cut off from the village. Samyang mirror-reflex lens fixed at F6.3.

"Multnomah Falls is the most visited natural recreation site in the Pacific Northwest with more than 2 million stopping by each year to take in the views. Fed by underground springs from Larch Mountain, the flow over the falls varies, but is usually highest during winter and spring. This is also one of the best places in the Columbia River Gorge National Scenic Area to study geology exposed by floods." fs.usda.gov
"The Multnomah people received their name from their chief. Yet, the existence of their great chief named Multnomah has been up for debate. Other Native American tribes in the Columbia River Valley area spoke of him in their oral history, while Oregon historians dismissed him as just a myth. Therefore, there is conflicting evidence of whether or not he was real. However, on top of the oral descriptions of him there were writings including newspapers and journals, which indicate he was indeed real.
Multnomah was chief of tribes ranging much of the Pacific Northwest from Oregon to Canada, and during his 40 years of power he was chief of the Willamettes, as well as war chief of the tribes, ruling from his station on what is known today as Sauvie Island.
Ann Fulton, a history professor at Portland State University, found and collected much of what is known of Chief Multnomah from many written stories. She documented this in her paper The Restoration of an Iłkák'mana: A Chief Called Multnomah. She hoped to bring more awareness to his existence. Particular accounts came from people such as William Tappan and Dr. Elijah White, both agents of Indian tribes. The many verbal and written accounts of Chief Multnomah were similar. He was regarded highly, and many stated that while he was a warrior chief, he was very respected among his people.
It is believed that the end of Chief Multnomah's reign occurred with the eruption of Mount Hood during the 1780s. Later in 1805 when Lewis and Clark reached Sauvie Island they wrote of the “mulknomah” people. This referenced Chief Multnomah, as well as the group of tribes that made up his people." Wikipedia
Enjoy this last Sunday of October!
Getting spooky tomorrow.
Well that's a wrap on another week and a very welcome beginning to a long weekend.
Three final images from the last week of September 2020.

Watching baseball, sitting in the sun, eating popcorn,
reading Ezra Pound,
and wishing that Juan Marichal would hit a hole right through
the Anglo-Saxon tradition in the first Canto
and demolish the barbarian invaders

Thank you Outdoor Photographer Magazine for featuring my image in your Showcase section this month, November 2019!
Ever wonder what an artichoke looks like in cross section? I pretty well know because I like eating them but here you go.

I was taking a cool focus stack of this peony when it fell from its clasp onto the floor. It was missing half of its petals when I picked it up. That allowed this cross-section photo though. I set the camera for 110 frames, and blended them with Helicon Focus to create this image.
The section between Drew (where we ran around the train and changed direction to go back to Ashton) and Bonnievale on the Swellendam-Ashton line is extremely scenic, especially when the weather is right.
