A historic building built around a natural water source in the old town of Wismar, Germany.
Wismar's old town is a Unesco site.
I made this image fairly late in my trip to the Faroe Islands. I was staying in the town of Leirvik at this point, having relocated to the eastern part of the archipelago to be closer to the islands of Kalsoy, Kunoy and Viðoy. By this point I had hit most of the spots I had really wanted to see and was poring over Google maps to visit any places that looked interesting but had been passed over in my initial examinations. I had already discovered that it was impossible to go anywhere on these islands and not be amazed, so I was really just looking for a place to point to as an initial direction to head, content to enjoy whatever I discovered along the way. Kunoy Park seemed just such a spot and I wanted to see the island of Kunoy as it was, so this seemed like a good place to start. One upshot to visiting the park here and reading about its history is it made me realize that one thing the Faroe Islands is almost completely lacking is trees. I had noticed but not noticed this already. I think initially I was so distracted by the beauty of the place and once I had gotten used to that I had also gotten used to not seeing trees. Kunoy Park is one of the few places in the islands you can find trees and even these were planted by people. Later, after I had moved back to Tórshavn I asked my Airbnb host about this. According to her, the islands have pretty much always lacked trees. Before shipping became a reliable means of importing goods the islanders relied upon driftwood as a source of their building materials (I was especially curious how they built boats without forests for lumber). There were several beaches and coves on the islands known for collecting driftwood and these became prime harvesting locations. Most of the trees the islands saw wash ashore came from Norway, in case you were curious.
Anyway, with my affinity for forests and trees I really enjoyed my visit to Kunoy Park. Despite being planted by people, this park had a very natural feel to it and like any good forest was quite contemplative and quiet. I hiked up through its short length, passing a father and son playing in the woods and came to this back exit looking out on pasture and mountains and found this view moving enough to unpack the Hasselblad. Much of the islands is pervaded by a sense of quiet and timelessness steeped together. This is just one more example of such a spot where that came out. At least while I was standing there.

This oak offers shelter and safety, being a source of livelihood for small birds and rodents. With the wind and rain, they are the final responsible for the falling of its leaves. Nevertherless, the leaves of this oak try to stay in the tree as much as possible, even when they are completely brown and dry.

The Grand Canyon is a steep-sided canyon carved by the Colorado River in Arizona, United States. The Grand Canyon is 277 miles (446 km) long, up to 18 miles (29 km) wide and attains a depth of over a mile (6,093 feet or 1,857 meters).
The canyon and adjacent rim are contained within Grand Canyon National Park, the Kaibab National Forest, Grand Canyon–Parashant National Monument, the Hualapai Indian Reservation, the Havasupai Indian Reservation and the Navajo Nation. The surrounding area is contained within the Baaj Nwaavjo I'tah Kukveni – Ancestral Footprints of the Grand Canyon National Monument. President Theodore Roosevelt was a major proponent of the preservation of the Grand Canyon area and visited it on numerous occasions to hunt and enjoy the scenery.
Nearly two billion years of Earth's geological history have been exposed as the Colorado River and its tributaries cut their channels through layer after layer of rock while the Colorado Plateau was uplifted. While some aspects about the history of incision of the canyon are debated by geologists, several recent studies support the hypothesis that the Colorado River established its course through the area about 5 to 6 million years ago. Since that time, the Colorado River has driven the down-cutting of the tributaries and retreat of the cliffs, simultaneously deepening and widening the canyon.
For thousands of years, the area has been continuously inhabited by Native Americans, who built settlements within the canyon and its many caves. The Pueblo people considered the Grand Canyon a holy site, and made pilgrimages to it. The first European known to have viewed the Grand Canyon was García López de Cárdenas from Spain, who arrived in 1540.

Grand Canyon National Park is a national park of the United States located in northwestern Arizona, the 15th site to have been named as a national park. The park's central feature is the Grand Canyon, a gorge of the Colorado River, which is often considered one of the Wonders of the World. The park, which covers 1,217,262 acres (1,901.972 sq mi; 4,926.08 km2) of unincorporated area in Coconino and Mohave counties, received more than 4.7 million recreational visitors in 2023. The Grand Canyon was designated a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1979. The park celebrated its 100th anniversary on February 26, 2019.

Entirely within the state of Arizona, the park encompasses 278 miles (447 km) of the Colorado River and adjacent uplands. Located on the ancestral homelands of 11 present day Tribal Communities, Grand Canyon is one of the most spectacular examples of erosion anywhere in the world—a mile deep canyon unmatched in the incomparable vistas it offers visitors from both north and south rims.

Most of the stream along the Rock Canyon hike is trapped in underground pipes. There is one small section in which the water gushes out, forms a natural looking creek for about 200 feet, and then returns underground. This is the waterspout at the head of the creek.

Monument Valley (Navajo: Tsé Biiʼ Ndzisgaii, pronounced [tsʰépìːʔ ǹtsɪ̀skɑ̀ìː], meaning "valley of the rocks") is a region of the Colorado Plateau characterized by a cluster of sandstone buttes, with the largest reaching 1,000 ft (300 m) above the valley floor. The most famous butte formations are located in northeastern Arizona along the Utah–Arizona state line. The valley is considered sacred by the Navajo Nation, the Native American people within whose reservation it lies.
Monument Valley has been featured in many forms of media since the 1930s. Famed director John Ford used the location for a number of his Westerns. Film critic Keith Phipps wrote that "its five square miles [13 km2] have defined what decades of moviegoers think of when they imagine the American West".

History
Before human existence, the Park was once a lowland basin. For hundreds of millions of years, materials that eroded from the early Rock Mountains deposited layer upon layer of sediment which cemented a slow and gentle uplift, generated by ceaseless pressure from below the surface, elevating these horizontal strata quite uniformly one to three miles above sea level. What was once a basin became a plateau.
Natural forces of wind and water that eroded the land spent the last 50 million years cutting into and peeling away at the surface of the plateau. The simple wearing down of altering layers of soft and hard rock slowly revealed the natural wonders of Monument Valley today.
From the visitor center, you see the world-famous panorama of the Mitten Buttes and Merrick Butte. You can also purchase guided tours from Navajo tour operators, who take you down into the valley in Jeeps for a narrated cruise through these mythical formations. Places such as Ear of the Wind and other landmarks can only be accessed via guided tours. During the summer months, the visitor center also features Haskenneini Restaurant, which specializes in both native Navajo and American cuisines, and a film/snack/souvenir shop. There are year-round restroom facilities. One mile before the center, numerous Navajo vendors sell arts, crafts, native food, and souvenirs at roadside stands.
