... for a next years 'instead-of-travels' calendar for 2022,
I stumbled upon this aerial view of Okavango Delta, Botswana, Africa from 2008 ;-))
Saw a lovely sunset on the return flight from from Maldives to Singapore.

The Botkin Trail in the Yalta Nature Reserve is one of the most famous hiking trails in the Crimean Mountains. Its length from Kirov Street to the top of Stavri-Kay aMount is 4.5 kilometers.
The Botkin Trail route was created in 1901 for tuberculosis patients. They could take wellness walks here, so it is also called the "Health Trail". In these places, the phytoncides of the coniferous forest are mixed with the sea breeze, which creates a positive effect for the treatment of lung diseases.
Professor Sergey Botkin was one of the most famous physicians in Russia in the second half of the 19th century. He received the title of academician and the position of physician of the royal family. Since 1870, he has been studying the climate of the Southern coast of Crimea and made a huge contribution to the popularization of recreation and the development of sanatoriums in the Crimea. He was the first to note the healing properties of the air on the Southern coast of Crimea for the treatment of lung diseases.
Боткинская тропа проложена по левому берегу реки Учан-Су. Начинаясь у Поляны сказок, она завершается у скалы Ставри-Кая. Правда, завершается условно, поскольку сразу переходит в Штангеевскую тропу, которая заканчивается у водопада Учан-Су. Нередко две тропы объединяют в один маршрут. Это логично, поскольку в противном случае от скалы Ставри-Кая придется возвращаться обратно по уже пройденному пути. Если же идти до водопада, получится круизный маршрут.
Тропу оборудовали в 1901-1902 году силами Крымско-Кавказского горного клуба. В то время активно действовало ее ялтинское отделение. Назвать решили в честь доктора Боткина. Он хоть и жил в Москве, но активно участвовал в исследовании роли Южного берега Крыма как курортологического направления. Получив звание академика, он стал лейб-медиком царской семьи и много времени проводил вместе с ней в Ливадийском дворце.

Mt. Baker Ski Area is a ski resort in the northwest United States, located in Whatcom County, Washington, at the end of State Route 542. The base elevation is at 3,500 feet (1,067 m), while the peak of the resort is at 5,089 feet (1,551 m). It is about 10 miles (16 km) south of the 49th parallel, the international border with Canada.
The ski area is home to the world's greatest recorded snowfall in one season, 1,140 inches (95.0 ft; 29.0 m), recorded during the 1998–99 season. Mt. Baker also enjoys the unofficially highest average annual snowfall of any resort in the world, with 641 inches (53.4 ft; 16.3 m).
Taken from the cockpit on a flight from Melbourne to Honolulu. This is about 8 hours into the flight with about 90 mins to go. Sunrise occurs very quickly as we are racing towards it at 920 Km/hr (500 Kts). This only lasted about 2 mins but managed to get the shot.
“Perlan – the Pearl – is an immersive museum that showcases Iceland’s extraordinary landscapes and nature in an accessible and engaging way. Its impressive hands-on, interactive exhibits and shows explain the country’s landforms, geology and wildlife. State-of-the-art technology elevates Perlan from an ordinary museum to one that guests will find innovative and memorable.
Alongside a fascinating display that focuses on the characteristics of Iceland’s changing glaciers, visitors can step into a hundred-metre-long artificial ice cave. An estimated 350 tons of snow gathered from Icelandic mountains were used in its construction. In graphic contrast, the museum’s Forces of Nature exhibit addresses the country’s volcanic systems and geothermal activity.
Styrmir, the museum’s spectacular indoor geyser, shoots a jet of water 25 metres into the air through the central atrium.
In Perlan’s domed 150-seat planetarium, the spotlight turns to the Aurora Borealis. Utilising 8K projection and 7.1 surround sound, the breathtaking Áróra show takes guests on a spellbinding journey through the origins and legends associated with the Northern Lights, bringing it vividly – and reliably – to life.
Perlan’s striking architecture adds an extra dimension to a visit. Located on Öskjuhlíð, the tallest hill in Reykjavik, it’s an easily recognised landmark, comprising six water tanks that support a glass dome which floods the interior with light. The museum’s wraparound observation deck offers an uninterrupted 360° panorama of the Icelandic capital and its surroundings.
Perlan represents Iceland in a nutshell. As such, it makes an ideal first or last stop on every tourist’s itinerary, whether they plan to venture beyond Reykjavik or choose to remain in the capital.”

It was a quick business trip to Clive so methought that a visit to either the coast or TeMata Peak was in order as my weather app was telling me of high cloud at sunset. Te Mata won as its either go high or go low and the choice seemed to be a good-un. A parasailor set off on q and made for a bit of hooman interest as well.
