Pico do Calçado is unofficially the fourth highest mountain in Brazil, with 2849 meters (9,347 ft) of altitude. It is also unofficially the second highest mountain in the states of Espírito Santo and Minas Gerais, on whose border it is located.
The peak is located in the Caparaó National Park, on the border of the municipalities of Ibitirama (Espírito Santo) and Alto Caparaó (Minas Gerais). It is located in the highest block of Serra do Caparaó, less than 1 km in a straight line from Pico da Bandeira.
Until 2004, the altitude of the peak was quoted as being 2,766 meters, but during the Pontos Culminantes do Brasil Project, a more accurate GPS measurement confirmed the altitude as being 2,849 m.
Its access is via the trail that starts from Casa Queimada, on the Minas Gerais side, following the dividing ridge between the states of Espírito Santo and Minas Gerais, and reaching its wide summit by "walk climbing" on the rock. From there, the trail continues towards Pico da Bandeira.
PS The video is narrated in Portuguese by me, as few people in my family and friends speak English. Sorry.
I hope the caption in the video helps you.
That's more or less what I narrated in the video.

Thank you for your kind visit. Have a wonderful and beautiful day! ❤️ ❤️ ❤️
I have been re-editing some more of my old photos taken in Qatar and I decided to make this short 28sec slideshow of a Cattle Egret devouring a field mouse. Sad to watch and photograph, looking at my edits I could recall the field mouse was squealing when its life was squeezed out of it. Sad, but that's nature for species on the lower level of the food chain.
La Roche Parstire est une randonnée incontournable dans le Beaufortain.
Avec peu de dénivelé, l’accès au sommet est assez facile, tout en offrant en permanence une superbe vue sur le lac de Roselend d'un côté et, de l'autre côté, la commune d'Arêche-Beaufort et les sommets qui l'entourent.
Ce jour-là, les nuages jouaient avec le soleil...
Le massif du Parpaillon est une longue chaîne montagneuse, marquant la séparation entre l'Embrunais (Hautes-Alpes) et la vallée de l'Ubaye (Alpes-de-Haute-Provence).
A l'extrémité Ouest du Massif de Parpaillon, la tête de la Gipière, située à 2443 est le point culminant d'une longue crête qui converge vers les Vallées de l'Ubaye et de la Durance.
Ce petit sommet, à peine visible, emprunte des sentiers originaux et offre des points de vues magnifiques.

Drone shots of the beach at sunrise. Not my best flying, getting familiar with a new FPV drone. It's a very beautiful beach and the peacefulness of the morning was great. The low flying plane certainly took me by surprise.

Myths, Legends and Rock Formations:
Due to the strange rock formations, and some formations on a wall in the form of writing or signs, Pedra da Gávea carries along with its name many legends and myths. Among the main myths and legends, one of them involves characters engraved in stone and the hypothesis of the Phoenician sphinx. Another theory that some raise about Pedra Gavea is that there is a great portal to Agartha.
By observing the stone well, several associations can be made and below are some of the most common ones.
The Giant's Head or Emperor's Head:
Looking at Pedra da Gávea, seen from Pedra Bonita or from the Canoas road that goes around Pedra Bonita, as well as from the Hang Gliding and Paragliding ramp that is almost at the top of Pedra Bonita, you can see the head of a large sculpted giant in stone. Whether an accidental work of nature or not, the resemblance is very great and it really does look like a sculpture.
As to this resemblance, whatever the cause of such formation, not even the most skeptical of men can deny.
Enigmatic Inscriptions:
At the top of the Rock, next to the Head on the left, beginning of the video, there are some formations and erosions that look like inscriptions or what look like letters carved in the stone. With the naked eye it is not always possible to see, but looking at enlarged photos taken with telephoto lenses that provide better details at long distances, one can see what appear to be inscriptions (words engraved in stone) of some primitive alphabet.
What most intrigues many observers of Pedra da Gávea is not exactly the shape of a "human head" at one end, nor the shapes of "portals" that may be random formations, made over the years, by erosion, a natural phenomenon.
Some observers are not satisfied with admitting that the marks in the form of writing are a mere chance of nature. This fact suggests a curious and creative hypothesis to try to explain the enigma of the writings on the stone.
First Findings About Engraved Characters:
The shapes of the rock, which bear resemblance to a human face, drew attention for a long time, as well as the characters that were also first objects of study since the time of Dom João VI's stay in Brazil.
Friar Custódio, a religious specialist in epigraphy, that is, studies of stone engravings, made a report about the inscriptions on Pedra da Gávea, and concluded that they were made at the time of the discovery of Brazil, and this report was delivered to Dom João VI .
In 1839, the Brazilian Historical and Geographical Institute decided to analyze the subject, and organized an expedition for this purpose. Historians J. Cunha Barbosa, Manoel de Araújo Porto Alegre and imperial chaplain J. Rodrigues Monteiro participated.
The report that followed, after the expedition and subsequent analyses, recognized Phoenician characters in the inscriptions, appearing to have been made in antiquity, and being deteriorated by time. However, the report also saw the inscriptions as a product of erosion, which ultimately led to the hypothesis that the characters were made by nature to prevail.
However, in 1928, a new hypothesis appeared that attributed the engravings of characters in Pedra da Gávea to the Phoenicians.
The last translation made below shows the sequence of these studies.
Jeth-Baal or Yet-Baal, is a name that refers to two twin brothers, older sons of Badezir.
And finally, what does this mean? Looking back at history, there existed in the year 856 BC, a Phoenician King named Badezir, who according to the first translation replaced and succeeded King Jethbaal, his father, on the royal throne of Tyro. But according to the second translation, Badezir was the father of the Jeth-Baal brothers.
If this hypothesis were confirmed with archaeological evidence, it could be believed that the Phoenicians were in Rio about 800 years before Christ, and that Pedra da Gávea would be a tomb where Badezir or Jeth-Baal would be buried, and human features shaped on the stone would be the face of Badezir or Jeth-Baal.
Whose face would the sphinx be, already eroded by erosion, and without the nose? It would be the representation of the face of King Badezir or Jeth-Baal. And was that formation really the representation of an unfinished sphinx? Or eroded by erosion?
There are those who claim from the height of all their wisdom that it is a sphinx. And one of the staunchest defenders of this hypothesis is the president of the Brazilian Association of Speleology and Archaeological Research in Rio, Roldão Pires Brandão, who stated:
"It is a sphinx engraved in granite by the Phoenicians, which has the face of a man and the body of an animal lying down. The tail must have fallen off due to the action of time. The rock, seen from afar, has the grandeur of monuments pharaonic figures and reproduces, on one of its sides, the severe face of a patriarch".
Pedra da Gávea is also related to the Agartha portal, an entrance to a subterranean world inside the Earth, arising from the Hollow Earth theory.
