The gorge is 1.2 kilometers long. At its narrowest point the walls are only 3 meters apart! It was not made by erosion. It is a geological fault line, evidence of the movement of tectonic plates. Water, san and rocks smooth the walls over thousands of years.
The Main entrance to the hidden city of Petra goes through the impressive split in the rock called the Siq Petra.
The geology of Petra is fascinating. The sandstone that the city is carved into is from the Late Cretaceous period and is around 80 million years old. The rock is a deep red color due to the high iron content. The Nabataeans were able to carve such intricate buildings and sculptures into the sandstone because it is a relatively soft rock.

This is a water tank at Nahar Garh fort for storing water. Now, there is hardly any water and lots of garbage is thrown there by tourist. When will we understand the value of precious things like old buildings and history.

GOOD news- this pic is selected and printed in Make My Trip (www.makemytrip.com) 2011 calendar.
This is situated outside the hostel. Its unused now and is partially filled with water. It had a big pipe and valve leading from it going nowhere.
I'm assuming it was a water tank for supplying something. Would make a great swimming pool :-)

Glacier National Park in northern Montana is one of the most beautiful of the US National Parks. Most visitors, who are limited on time, make it a point to travel the famous Going to the Sun Road, which transverses the park from west to east or vice versa. While it is a magnificent road to travel and the visitor is treated to many wonderful delights, there are several other areas of the park, which have true gems of their own.
The Many Glacier area of the park is in the northeastern accessible area of the park. It is known for its amazing landscape views, but also for its wildlife. After photographing for 2 days along the Going to the Sun Road, we visited this area and were very pleased with the photographic opportunities that it provided us. Not only that, but it was much less crowded than the Logan's Pass and other areas of the park. It was just what we needed.
We started out our day attempting to track down 2 grizzly bears on the shore near the Two Medicine area who were reportedly feasting on a cattle carcass, which we had learned about at our breakfast stop in the morning. Never did find them, but some cyclists we came up upon told us that they had already left and we found no trace of anything. Oh well.... we did see some beautiful bucks nearby though - antlers full of velvet.
Off we went towards Many Glacier.... along the way coming across Lake Sherburne, with it's magnificent majestic views and reflections done to perfection.
A little bit about Lake Sherburne - it's actually a reservoir that was formed when the Lake Sherburne dam was built in 1914-1921. It effectively impounded Swiftcurrent Creek. Stretching along the roadside for 3 miles - 6 miles when full - it is now the primary water storage of the Milk River Project, which provides irrigation water to the northcentral Montana farms.
Poor Tom had to navigate his truck along the narrow roadside swales, as parking was clearly an oversight along this lake. Between the beauty of this lake and wildlife sightings along the way to the road's end at Many Glacier, he was pulling over at the drop of a hat. Unfortunately, we stopped for some huckleberry ice cream (yum yum!) and upon our return to his truck, we discovered a flat tire..... no, actually a slashed tire, the result of the sharp rocks. Not a good situation because this was on a Saturday afternoon, over Labor Day weekend, and we were on our way over the Canadian border to Waterton Lakes NP by the end of the evening. Well, NOTHING is open on any weekend, especially a holiday weekend, that could assist us with a very specific truck tire. We ended up driving - carefully - for 3 days on our slightly smaller spare, with our slashed tire in our back seat, since it's too big to stow where the spare was stowed. Ugh!
I have to admit that Tom was a great sport about it and consequently got to spend additional time in Waterton, which is always a treat.
Back to this image though, we got out at several different locations along this lake and found them fascinating. Neither of us wanted to move on, though we knew that we had to. Such beauty in one place doesn't seem quite fair. We wanted to take a piece of it home with us - and not just in our hearts :-). I wanted this to become my view from my office window. I'll have to simply dream though for now.
Thanks for stopping by and for all of your comments! Wishing everyone a wonderful weekend.

A new parking lot in the Eendragtspolder, located between Rotterdam, Zevenhuizen and Rottemeren, which is transformed into an area where water storage, nature, recreation and sports are combined. A new major rowing course has been given a prominent place in a water storage area of ​​300 hectares, giving room for four million m3 of temporarily water storage.
"Thomson Reservoir is the largest of Melbourne’s reservoirs. It has a capacity of 1,068 billion litres, and makes up about 60% of Melbourne's total storage capacity.
Thomson supplies Silvan Reservoir (via Upper Yarra Reservoir), which distributes water throughout the Melbourne metropolitan area. The dam at the reservoir is an earth and rockfill embankment."
It was completed in 1984.

Hardy, drought-tolerant Quivertrees, or Kokerboom, on a stony ridge near Solitaire in western Namibia.
The Quivertree, or Kokerboom, occurs sporadically throughout Namibia, usually on rocky slopes. Its name refers to its supposed use by the Bushmen for making quivers for their arrows. They are winter-flowering and the yellow blooms can be seen here.
