The Naden Valley contains four reservoirs (Greenbooth, Naden Lower, Naden Middle and Naden Higher) which were built to supply water to Rochdale. There is also a network of waymarked footpaths for walkers. The three Naden reservoirs date back to the nineteenth century whilst the largest, Greenbooth reservoir, was created in 1961 by flooding the village of Greenbooth.

The Quechua-speaking Cabanas, probably descended from the Wari culture, and the Aymara-speaking Collaguas, who moved to the area from the Lake Titicaca region, inhabited the valley in the pre-Inca era. The Inca probably arrived in the Colca Valley around 1320 AD, and established their dominion through marriage, rather than through warfare.
Beautiful alpine valley, little village wwith its beautiful alpine-style houses, nice holiday memory.
Today it was a case of early bird catches the good weather. This old bird was pleased to arrive 'home' just as the rain came even though I wore myself out with a walk which had several ups and downs in order to cross streams/rivers. The views were worth the pain (I think!) and barely saw a soul all morning since most people don't get going till later.

Valley of Fire State Park is the oldest state park in Nevada, USA and was designated as a National Natural Landmark in 1968. It covers an area of almost 42,000 acres (17,000 ha) and was dedicated in 1935. It derives its name from red sandstone formations, formed from great shifting sand dunes during the age of dinosaurs. These features, which are the centerpiece of the park's attractions, often appear to be on fire when reflecting the sun's rays.
Valley of Fire is located 50 miles (80 km) northeast of Las Vegas, at an elevation between 2,000–2,600 feet (610–790 m). It abuts the Lake Mead National Recreation Area at the Virgin River confluence. It lies in a 4 by 6 mi (6.4 by 9.7 km) basin.
Complex uplifting and faulting of the region, followed by extensive erosion, have created the present landscape. The rough floor and jagged walls of the park contain brilliant formations of eroded sandstone and sand dunes more than 150 million years old. Other important rock formations include limestones, shales, and conglomerates.
The park entry from Interstate 15 passes through the Moapa Indian Reservation. The park has a visitor center that should be visited by anyone planning any off-road activities.
The site is marked as Nevada Historical Marker #150.

Cleaning up my laptop I happened upon this from my archives that I had meant to post, but for whatever reason didn't. It was shot on Clingsman Dome in the Smokies.
If you turn around at Zabriskie Point, you will see these amazing badlands completing encompassing the scene. Texture overload.
Yosemite National Valley Park is in California’s Sierra Nevada mountains. It’s famed for its giant, ancient sequoia trees, and for Tunnel View, the iconic vista of towering Bridalveil Fall and the granite cliffs of El Capitan and Half Dome. There is a Vista point that allows you to appreciate the whole valley. Stayed in this place over 2 hours waiting for sunset, other tourists came, took photos, and left… The light shifted and clouds changed so quickly that the view was always different.

Yosemite Valley is a glacial valley in Yosemite National Park in the western Sierra Nevada mountains of Central California. It covers an area of 3,081 km2, surrounded by high granite summits such as Half Dome and El Capitan, and densely forested with pines. The valley is drained by the Merced River, and a multitude of streams and waterfalls flow into it. It is famous for its landscapes and nature: impressive granite cliffs, waterfalls, rivers with clear water, groves of redwoods and rich biological diversity (almost 95 % of the park is considered a wildlife area). In 1984, the park received the status of "World Heritage" under the auspices of UNESCO.
After taking sunrise photo at Mono Lake, headed to Yosemite Valley. If driving along Highway 120, it would take a bit more than one hour from Lee Vining to Yosemite Valley, but Highway 120 was closed (opened on the end of May), had to detour along the mountain’s cliffs: Highway 395-108-120, it took more than 6 hours… Arrived in the afternoon, sunshine all day, questioned why 120 was still closed on that part. While when arriving to Yosemite Valley, attracted by the beautiful scenery, all of sudden, snowing with hails… Got into the car and wait for an hour, snow stopped. I could understand why 120 was closed, so dangerous driving along the cliffs in this snowing conditions. I heard some people missing while visiting Yosemite Valley.
Finally hitting the Tunnel View while driving along the Valley. There is a Vista point that allows you to appreciate the whole valley. Stayed in this place over 2 hours waiting for sunset, other tourists came, took photos, and left… so cold even with my Canada Goose Jacket on, had to get into the car to warm myself couple of times, left the tripod on the spot… Here was sunset with the crazy clouds covered whole Yosemite Valley! I took lots of photos in this place, only this one having crazy clouds among all these photos, I guess this shape of clouds lasted just few minutes.

The site is located on the banks of River Jordan at 380 Meters Below Sea Level, just 5 miles North of the Dead Sea, the final destination of the river.
River Jordan gives the pilgrims and tourists alike the feeling of authenticity.
This site is considered a holy place as it is where Jesus Christ was baptized by John the Baptist an event that changed human history and marked the dawn of Christianity.
Also, there is a number of Churches in the area.
Worth visiting. better during cooler months to avoid the Jordan Valley high temperatures.

View from Glacier Point into Yosemite Valley with the Half Dome to the right side. Due to the huge rough fire in Kings Canyon there's some smoke in the air. Unfortunately there was also a wildfire in Yosemite, so the air was not really clear and the view was not as good as it could have been. Nevertheless it's still a great view!

Das Valley of the Gods ähnelt im Aussehen dem wesentlich bekannteren und touristisch erschlossenen Monument Valley und weist vergleichbare Sandsteintürme und Felsnadeln auf.
Der Mythologie der Navajo zufolge sind die Felsformationen Plätze der Stärke, an denen die Geister der Vorfahren wohnen, speziell im Valley of the Gods. Die markanten Sandsteintürme sind versteinerte Krieger des Stammes, die um persönlichen Schutz angerufen werden können. Sie stellen Leibwächter dar, deren Macht und Stärke die jungen Männer auf dem Weg in den Krieg begleitet.
The Valley of the Gods is similar in appearance to the much better known and more touristically developed Monument Valley and has comparable sandstone towers and sea stacks.
According to Navajo mythology, the rock formations are places of strength where ancestral spirits dwell, especially in the Valley of the Gods. The distinctive sandstone towers are petrified warriors of the tribe who can be invoked for personal protection. They represent bodyguards whose power and strength accompanies the young men on their way to war.
Monument Valley "Ndzisgaii in Navajo", meaning valley of the rocks, is a region of the Colorado Plateau characterized by a cluster of vast sandstone buttes, the largest reaching 1,000 ft (300 m) above the valley floor. It is located on the Arizona–Utah state line, near the Four Corners area. The valley lies within the territory of the Navajo Nation Reservation and is accessible from U.S. Highway 163.
Monument Valley has been featured in many forms of media since the 1930s. Director John Ford used the location for a number of his best-known films and thus, in the words of critic Keith Phipps, "its five square miles have defined what decades of moviegoers think of when they imagine the American West.

The Manor Class of steam locomotives are celebrating an anniversary this year. This weekend marks 50 years since the last days of ‘Manor’ steam locomotives worked on the Cambrian network.
I've had this pic for a couple months but haven't posted it because I thought it was missing something. Maybe not though, so here it is! :D It's a valley near the Kentucky and Tennessee border.
