This is the mountain I attempted to climb yesterday, I've climbed it many times but after less than an hour into the trek I had to return thoroughly exhausted. Very disappointed that Covid is still hampering my efforts.
What an absolute pleasure it was to see this beautiful Reddish Egret (white morph) fishing at first light.
Taken near Fort Myers, Florida.
As always, thank you so much for stopping by and for leaving any comments or faves, they are very much appreciated.

L’altopiano dello Sciliar è caratterizzato da tante figure mitologiche e leggendarie. Una delle leggende più famose racconta che l’immensa dorsale di questa grande montagna era il posto preferito delle streghe che giungevano a cavallo di una scopa da tutte le altre parti. Ancora oggi, nei pressi della Bullaccia si possono ammirare i luoghi dove le streghe si riunivano e celebravano i propri riti: sono "le sedie e le panche delle Streghe".
you might call The Celsus Library from 2nd century AD, Efesus. Here knowledge of the known world clad in marble greek architecture represents all that we mean by Hellenism, culture and knowledge from all over the Mediterranean presented by greek catalyst .
Once buried in an urn there is nothing more left of life, but obviously posterity is a different matter.
In a biogeographic definition, paramo is any intertropical mountain ecosystem, characterized by shrubby vegetation that generally occurs from altitudes of about 3,000 to 4,000 meters or up to 5,000 meters, that is, in regions above the forest line. continuous but still below the permanent snow line. It is found in East Africa, New Guinea, and Central and South America. However, since in each of these regions this ecosystem has a specific name, when discussing Paramos, we refer specifically to Andean Paramos.
In this strict sense of the term, all Paramos are located in the neotropical zone, mainly in northwestern South America, present in Venezuela, Colombia, Peru and Ecuador. The ecosystem occupies over 30,000 km² of South America and represents 7% of Ecuador's territory. In absolute terms, Colombia is home to 50% of the extent of Paramos (in its three branches of the Andes) and the largest Paramo in the world (Sumapaz).
Paramos' climate is characterized by wide daily fluctuations in temperature and humidity. In general, cold and humid, can undergo a sudden and drastic change in which temperatures fluctuate from below freezing to 30 ° C plus in a daily freeze-thaw cycle. High altitude in tropical locations produces a special, cold, low air density atmosphere that allows for greater dispersion of ultraviolet radiation (light and heat). This climate can be summed up in the phrase "winter every night and summer every day."
In Paramo ecosystems, soils are generally recent, of glacial and volcanic origin, and many are still in formation. Its structure is a combination of organic material that decomposes very slowly in cold weather with volcanic ash. They usually have low pH (acidity) because of the abundance of moisture and high content of organic matter. These characteristics contribute to soil water retention, which in turn is the basis of an essential environmental service: the constant storage and distribution of clean water to lower places.
The largest and most known area is the Páramo grass, which covers large areas of the mountain ranges. It extends from approximately 3,500 to 4,100 m in height, and is mainly composed of grasses and small shrubs.
A shrine even to Romanticists Roslin Chapel achieved world renown by the Da Vinci Code which claimed it to hold the Holy Grail and thus making a once private medieval chapel the centre of absolute legend.

I know you
Who are you now
Look into my eyes
If you can't remember
Do you remember
I can see, I can still find
You're the only voice my heart can recognize
But I can't hear you now, yeah
I'll never be the same
I'm caught inside the memories
The promises
Our yesterdays
When I belonged to you
I just can't walk away
'Cause after loving you
I can never be the same
And how can I pretend I never knew you
Like it was all a dream, no
I know I'll never forget
The way I always felt with you beside me
And how you loved me then, yeah
I'll never be the same
I'm caught inside the memories
The promises
Our yesterdays
When I belonged to you
I just can't walk away
'Cause after loving you
I can never be the same
You led me here
But then I watched you disappear
You left this emptiness inside
And I can't turn back time
Nothing compares to you
Nothing compares to you

Legend has it that the godess Athena threw her spear into the ground of Akropolis and out sprang the first olive tree or even the tree of life in Greek mythos. Todays tree is a later reminder and behind it the Erechteion/Erechtheum built 421 - 401 BC once containing several shrines, and later to become a Christian church. Is it possible anywhere to come closer to absolute mythos than here?
If that's how you feel these days, I don't blame you. It is like
if a great madness cloud was preventing common sense from reaching human minds. In this terrible age where the path of evolution is blocked by ignorance and political polarization, I will continue to get drunk on the idea of a better world.
Been sttuborn is the way. Get drunk too. Cheers !
