Beginning of the trail on Anakena Beach and its 2 ahus.
I started the 15.5 km walk at 10:30 in the morning.
The hotel owner drove me to the beginning of my walk (Anakena Beach), for R$ 51,00 or US$ 16.08 and her nephew picked me up at the Ahu Te Peu at 3:30 pm for R$ 61.20 or US$ 19.30.
Anakena Beach is 16 km from Hanga Roa or the hotel.
I was able to do it in 5 hours.

Travel in summer - Phare de Pointe-au-Père Lighthouse. Rimouski, Québec, Canada #1
The lighthouse is 108 feet tall, which makes it the second tallest in eastern Canada. It is built in a characteristic shape, employing eight concrete buttresses to support a slender central cylinder.
It was replaced by an electronic lighthouse in 1975 and the site is now open for visitors as part of the Site historique maritime de la Pointe-au-Père.

This male Wood Duck and his twin were photographed in autumn at Mead Botanical Garden in Winter Park, Florida, USA. He was in his fresh fall plumage. I always enjoy seeing these colorful ducks. The reflection was a nice bonus.

This cute raccoon has been showing up in my yard in Central Florida quite frequently this summer. I usually see it in the back yard late in the day, getting a drink of water from the pool. Raccoons are normally nocturnal animals but this young raccoon was probably just trying to cool down from the hot summer we have had here in Florida. We're a long way from Christmas. It started to climb up this tree but then turned around to climb back down. I caught this pose right as is was turning around.

One Angel Square
One Angel Square[1] is an office building in Manchester, England. Construction work began in 2010 and was completed in February 2013. The landmark building is the head office of the Co-operative Group. Standing 72.5 metres (237.8 feet) tall, the building forms the centrepiece of the new £800 million NOMA development in the northern quarter of Manchester city centre. The building cost at least £105 million to construct and was sold on leaseback terms in 2013 for £142 million.
One Angel Square is one of the most sustainable large buildings in Europe and is built to a BREEAM 'Outstanding' rating. It is powered by a biodiesel cogeneration plant using rapeseed oil to provide electricity and heat. The structure makes use of natural resources, maximising passive solar gain for heat and using natural ventilation through its double-skin facade, adiabatic cooling, rainwater harvesting, greywater recycling and waste heat recycling.
The building's distinctive form has been compared to a sliced egg and a ship.[16] Its design was announced by architects 3DReid in May 2009 and construction began in July 2010 with a projected completion date in March 2013. In December 2012, the scheme surpassed its pan-European sustainability aims and achieved a world-record BREEAM score of 95.32%. It is also an energy-plus building, producing surplus energy and zero carbon emissions. The building has received numerous awards for its striking aesthetic and sustainability aims.

"... Tenho um cuiudo picaço,
peito e anca que é um colosso,
que já me deu muito gosto
mandando corda em rodeio,

num armadão encopado
e acomodava o chumbado
lustrando a capa do olho ..."

Stuttgart is the only city in Germany where wine is grown within the urban area, mainly in the districts of Rotenberg, Uhlbach and Untertürkheim.
Stuttgart is still one of Germany's largest wine-growing cities with more than 400 hectares of vine area, thanks in main to its location at the centre of Germany's fourth largest wine region, the Württemberg wine growing area which covers 11,522 hectares (28,470 acres) and is one of only 13 official areas captured under German Wine law. The continuing importance of wine to the local economy is marked every year at the annual wine festival ('Weindorf'). (Wikipedia)

The Tower of Hercules is the only Roman lighthouse which, since its origins up to the present, has been performing its original function: being an aid to navigation for ships crossing the Atlantic corridor. This peculiarity makes it an outstanding exponent which bears a unique testimony to the numerous lighthouses erected by civilisations of the past by the sea and which have unfortunately been lost to time, while the Tower of Hercules remains faithful to its mission of guiding the seamen who come face to face with the immensity of the ocean on a daily basis.
The lighthouse was most likely built in the second half of the 1st century or the early years of the 2nd century A.D. by the Romans at finis terrae (Latin for ‘end of the world’) of the world known, namely, north-western Hispania, at the mouth of the great Gulf of Artabro, which encompasses the rias of El Burgo, Ares and Ferrol (A Coruña, Spain) to guide the ships sailing along the most western coast of the Empire. The location chosen to build it was a rocky hillock, known as Punta Eiras, some 57 metres high, which is between Punta Herminia and Punta del Orzán, thus dominating the northern end of the peninsula on which the city of A Coruña itself rises.
This unique construction has a rectangular plan, each side of it measuring approximately 11.75 metres and a total height of 55 metres, of which 34.38 m correspond to the Roman building and 21 to the restoration made in 1789 to modernize the aid to navigation system. Nowadays, the Tower rises on a wide polygonal platform 32.40 metres wide, which is its base. This platform was built in early 19th century. On the outside, the monument has a prismatic structure topped by an octagonal towered section with triangular reinforcement at the corners, thus softening the square plan. This first towered section is followed by another, shorter one which is the base of the lantern where the powerful beacon that lights intrepid seamen is.

La Torre de Hércules es el único faro romano que desde sus orígenes hasta la actualidad ha cumplido con su función primigenia: la de servir de señal marítima e instrumento de navegación para las embarcaciones que en su singladura atraviesan el corredor atlántico. Esta particularidad lo convierte en un ejemplo excepcional como testimonio único de los numerosos faros que las civilizaciones del pasado construyeron a orillas del mar y que, desgraciadamente, se han perdido en el devenir de la historia, mientras que la Torre de Hércules continua cumpliendo con la misión de orientar y dirigir a los hombres del mar que se enfrentan diariamente con la inmensidad del océano.
El faro fue construido con toda probabilidad en la segunda mitad del siglo I o en los primeros años del siglo II d. C. por el Imperio romano en el finis terrae del mundo conocido, es decir, en el noroeste de Hispania, en la entrada del gran Golfo Ártabro que comprende las rías del Burgo, Ares y Ferrol (A Coruña. España), para acompañar a los barcos que bordeaban el extremo más occidental del Imperio. El lugar elegido para su emplazamiento fue una loma rocosa, denominada Punta Eiras, de casi 57 metros de altura, que se encuentra entre Punta Herminia y Punta del Orzán, dominando el extremo septentrional de la península en la que se asienta la propia ciudad de A Coruña.
Esta singular construcción es de planta cuadrangular de aproximadamente 11,75 m de lado y presenta una altura total de 55 m, de los cuales 34,38 m corresponden a la fábrica romana y 21 m a la restauración realizada en 1789 para modernizar el sistema de señalización marítima. En la actualidad la Torre se levanta sobre una amplia plataforma poligonal de 32,40 m de ancho, que le sirve de base y que fue construida a principios del siglo XIX. Exteriormente, el monumento presenta una estructura prismática sobre la que se dispone un remate torreado octogonal con refuerzos de sección triangular en las esquinas, que suaviza el arranque de la base cuadrada. A este primer cuerpo torreado le sucede otro, decreciente en altura, que sirve de base a la linterna en la que se encuentra la potente lámpara que ilumina con su luz a los intrépidos navegantes.

One of the oldest homes in the Louisiana Purchase, Destrehan was constructed beginning in 1787 and completed in 1790. Robin de Logny contracted with a free man of color, Charles Pacquet, to build the house and outbuildings to support his indigo plantation. Pacquet was given the use of six slaves to build the house. He was paid the grand sum of "one brute negro," a cow and a calf, 100 bushels of both corn and rice, and $100 in cash upon completion. This building contract, still on file at the parish courthouse in Hahnville, LA, makes Destrehan Plantation the oldest documented house in the Lower Mississippi Valley.

The day began before dawn on a cold day at the top of Mt Haleakalā. We easily descended miles into the crater on the Shifting Sands Trail with all our camera gear on our backs, happily shooting dozens of photos of this amazing moonscape. At some point we realized, oh we should turn around and head back up, mindful we had descended at least 4 miles. Halfway up we discussed leaving our precious tripods at the side of the trail, 3/4 of the way up we were ready to leave all our gear behind to save ourselves from heart attacks. Slowly and with many stops, we made it back to the car with all our equipment in tow. A day not to be forgotten, despite the pain I'd do it all over again to be part of that magnificent landscape. We are told NEVER shoot directly into the sun, I believe rules are made to be broken, how else would I have captured this colorful flare?
Have a great Tuesday, my flickrino friends! ♥
