I've been a very short SL vacation probably a week or so. I wanted to share a previously unreleased pic or two.

Along Forest Road 525 NW of Sedona, we stopped at this remnant of a cattle feeding and sorting area at Taylor Tank.
At the time we stopped, we were unaware this was a popular Pink Jeep Tour stop, but were able to capture some images of the amazing surroundings before being inundated by the tour groups and heading on our way to the Honanki Heritage Site at Loy Butte.
As normal in this region, the formations aren't named with any real consistency, but the view is spectacular, and the clouds were unusually cooperative.
Thick fog, high air moisture, no phone and GPS signal.
We didn't know exactly where we were going... but that is the best way to explore.
Alto Caparaó is known throughout the national territory for its natural beauty, and is one of the most beautiful regions in terms of ecotourism destinations for those who love and appreciate nature. A region of beautiful mountains that form a valley that surrounds the city, with an exuberant landscape, Alto Caparaó invites us to feel the fresh air, bathe in crystalline waters and fall in love with the climate and its natural beauties.
⚽️ anyone?

"When are you planning to settle down?"
"I don't think we really settle down. Isn't it more like moving from one destination to the next? We're always going to fight a change, then embrace a change, then stick with a routine then repeat the cycle."
"You don't want to settle down? Have a forever home?"
"How could I even consider this when the world around me is ever changing? How can you pick a spot and hope that you always roll a 20 so it would never be disturbed? War, terminations, depression, economic crisis, citizenships and what about nature itself, earthquakes, floods..."
"But you can't possible keep moving as you grow older..."
"Why not? Maybe I'd like to retire near the beach for a year then move to the country side in the next year, then up in the mountains a year after that."
"Or why not just spend your days in your furnished apartment watching all the movies you missed, reading all the books you couldn't in your youth, watching your grandkids play with their grandpa computer games or just brush your cats..."
"I could do that too...but I could do plenty. Settling down just seems unlikely when you aren't really sure where you belong."

The picturesque town of Stanley (population 553), sits below the amazing prominence known as "The Nut". This is in fact the plug of an extinct volcano that rises 143 metres above sea level. Stanley is one of the most popular tourist destinations in Tasmania (when tourism is operating!). In the distance at the far right you can make out the huge jetty of Port Latta and the smelter, with the hills of Rocky Cape. In 2016 Stanley was converted to a film set for the historic movie, "Light Between Oceans".
