Another look back at our Fall camping trip in Quebec... an overcast and drizzly day's drive
Happy Tree-mendous Tuesday!
A family dressed in Canadian rain gear is walking along the treetops at Capilano Suspension Bridge Park. This area provides a squirrel’s eye view of a thriving coastal rainforest, nestled in a forest of 1300-year-old Douglas-firs. The Treetops Adventure utilizes an innovative compression system that doesn't require bolts or nails to secure its viewing platforms and seven suspension bridges. The views from here are truly incredible!

El punto más bajo y más alto de Suiza de un vistazo: al sur el Lago Maggiore, al oeste los Alpes del Valais con el pico Dufour. Y todo a tan solo unos minutos de la vibrante ciudad de Locarno.
En funicular o autobús, y después un teleférico de diseño y el telesilla panorámico trasladan a los visitantes a Cimetta, a 1450 metros sobre el lago Mayor. Paneles panorámicos explican las montañas que se ven tanto cerca como a lo lejos y grandes modelos de roca, la geología. En la estación intermedia de Cardada, una elegante plataforma panorámica sobresale entre las copas de los árboles. Aquí es posible contemplar «a vista de pájaro» las islas Brissago.
Sendero de reflexoterapia, recorrido de marca nórdica, paseo con juegos para niños y rutas señalizadas para bicis de montaña completan la oferta en Cardada / Cimetta. Hay varios restaurantes que sirven especialidades del Tesino y posibilidades para alojarse tanto de forma sencilla como muy romántica o elegante.

You can benefit from a magnificent view of the Lake Maggiore basin from any point of the Locarno mountain, but the best places to enjoy the panorama are definitely the Cardada landscape promontory and Cimetta's geological observatory. The first is equipped with a gangway that runs through the treetops of the underlying forest leading to a suspended platform that projects the visitor onto a 180° panorama with an unforgettable view of Lake Maggiore, the Centovalli and Maggia Valleys.
The second, located at Cimetta's highest point, is the geological observatory: a circular platform with a 360° panoramic view of the entire region and the surrounding mountains. A red line signals the Periadriatic Seam ¬– a fault along which the mountain chain separates into Northern and Southern parts. Cutting through a great part of Switzerland, the mountain chain was formed millions of years ago as a result of a collision between the Continental European and the African tectonic plates. From the privileged Cimetta viewpoint you can see the Alps in all their vigour and understand how they were formed.
Architecture lovers will certainly not miss the occasion to enjoy the cable car's departure and arrival stations designed by Mario Botta who has also designed the distinguished water drop-shaped cabins that bring you to the summit in 5 minutes.

Stood atop a hill overlooking the sleepy village of Dorchester with the Abbey standing out through the mist. The leaves in the trees now just starting to turn.
During my stay in Belgium I've had a lot of fun doing a bike ride with my daughter. It brought us to this track, which circles around the trees, higher and higher, all the way to their tops. I was happy to find this square composition, I think it works really well with the light and gave the opportunity to capture this nice, little memory.

The 'treetop' I am referring to; is our 40-foot tree/mast! Some
of the larger sail-ships in the harbor have two 'trees' (masts),
as they are often referred to in the 'large-sail-ship' community.]

our Viet Nam pilots flying just above the treetops...

Just a quick pull over off the highway to capture the treetops with a couple Chugash Mountain peaks in the distance. Then back on the road. Quick question ... who here cleans their camera sensors themselves vs taking them in for service?

Here is a look at last light across the treetops of Shawnee State Forest in Ohio, October 20, 2022. This was taken from a fire tower in that state forest, my first experience like this. It was pretty magical.

I took this shot from the hillside overlooking a quiet country road and a row of trees bordering a frost covered field containing sheep.
Almost too far away to photograph, one Osprey defends its nest from an intruding Osprey. In Glacier National Park.
Simple wooden benches were the best seats on the dock for the G4 geomagnetic storm (aka northern lights) in the early morning hours of April 24, 2023. Spectacular beaming colors danced across the night sky and reflected on the remaining ice of Bass Lake in Price County, WI. Observation tower on Tim's Hill just peeks above the treetops across the lake.
MacRitchie Reservoir park. This is the treetop walkway. Great feature, and an amazing experience to walk in secondary forest. #macritchie #singapore #naturepark #treetopwalkway #treetop #bridge #forestwalkway

There is something refreshing being able to walk at the level of the tree tops and this walk fulfills that with some glorious views of both the bush and of the Swan River, Perth City and West Perth. Happy Fence Friday. The day which had been cloudy had some sunny spots and then moved further into clouds with occasional spots of rain. The Walkway is visible from the regular Ferries moving up the Swan River to and from Fremantle.

Date Palm.
Dates have been a staple food of the Middle East and the Indus Valley for thousands of years. There is archaeological evidence of date cultivation in eastern Arabia in 6000 BCE. (Alvarez-Mon 2006). They are believed to have originated around what is now Iraq, and have been cultivated since ancient times from Mesopotamia to prehistoric Egypt, possibly as early as 4000 BCE. The Ancient Egyptians used the fruits to make date wine, and ate them at harvest.
There is also archaeological evidence of date cultivation in Mehrgarh around 7000 BCE, a Neolithic civilization in what is now western Pakistan. Evidence of cultivation is continually found throughout later civilizations in the Indus Valley, including the Harappan period 2600 to 1900 BCE.
In later times, traders spread dates around South West Asia, northern Africa, and Spain. Dates were introduced into Mexico and California by the Spaniards in 1765, around Mission San Ignacio.
A date palm cultivar, known as Judean date palm is renowned for its long-lived seed, which successfully sprouted after accidental storage for 2000 years. This particular seed is presently reputed to be the oldest viable seed, but the upper survival time limit of properly stored seeds remains unknown.
Fossil records show that the date palm has existed for at least 50 million years.
