A área das Cataratas do Iguaçu (em espanhol, Cataratas del Iguazú) são um conjunto majestoso de cerca de 275 quedas de água no Rio Iguaçu (na Bacia hidrográfica do rio Paraná), localizam entre o Parque Nacional do Iguaçu, Paraná, no Brasil, e no Parque Nacional Iguazú, Misiones, na Argentina. A área total de ambos parques nacionais, correspondem a 250 mil hectares de floresta subtropical e declarada como Patrimônio Natural da Humanidade.
O Parque Nacional argentino foi criado em 1934; e o Parque Nacional brasileiro, em 1939, com o propósito de administrar e proteger o manancial de água que representa essa catarata e o conjunto do meio ambiente ao seu redor. Os parques tanto brasileiro como argentino passaram a ser considerados Patrimônio da Humanidade em 1984 e 1986, respectivamente. Desde 2002 o Parque Nacional do Iguaçu é um dos sítios geológicos brasileiros.
Historicamente, o primeiro europeu a achar as Cataratas do Iguaçu foi o espanhol, Álvar Núñez Cabeza de Vaca, no ano de 1542.

Las cataratas del Iguazú se encuentran cerca de la triple frontera Argentina, Paraguay y Brasil (del idioma guaraní: Yguasu (agua grande), en portugués: cataratas do Iguaçu) son las cataratas localizadas en la provincia de Misiones, en el Parque Nacional Iguazú, Argentina y en el Parque Nacional do Iguaçu del estado de Paraná, Brasil. Su nombre proviene de dos palabras: la palabra «y» (similar a la /ü/ del alemán o la /u/ del francés, producida por contracción de la garganta) y la palabra «guasu» (léase guasu), que en lengua guaraní quieren decir «agua» y «grande», respectivamente.
Están formadas por 275 saltos de hasta 80 m de altura, alimentados por el caudal del río Iguazú. Se pueden realizar paseos en lancha bajo los saltos y caminatas por senderos apreciando algunos animales de la selva subtropical. La «Garganta del Diablo» (el salto mayor, que consta de 80 m) es un espectáculo aparte que, saliendo desde Puerto Canoas, se puede disfrutar en toda su majestuosidad a tan sólo 50 m de distancia.

Iguazu Falls, Iguassu Falls, or Iguaçu Falls (Portuguese: Cataratas do Iguaçu, (Portuguese pronunciation: [kataˈɾatɐz du iɡwaˈsu]; Spanish: Cataratas del Iguazú, Spanish pronunciation: [kataˈɾatas del iɣwaˈsu]) are waterfalls of the Iguazu River located on the border of the Brazilian state of Paraná and the Argentine province of Misiones. The falls divide the river into the upper and lower Iguazu.
Mark is seen here on the final approach to the Allt Scheicheach bothy. We had cycled for a couple of hours to reach this point. Soon we would dump our bikes in readiness for a hike up the remote Beinn Dearg. Being Early December daylight hours would be limited so it was no surprise that we returned back along this section in twilight and of course it was pitch black by the time the car was reached. In fact on the return Mark fell off twice as he skidded in the dimly lit snow. I didn't laugh that much honest.
This wise old crow actually seemed to enjoy this but hey, that is just a human interpretation. It let me shoot and shoot, so it was a good day. Getting bored it was off to seaward. Near St.John's, NL, Canada.
Do you know where you're goin' to?
Do you like the things that life is showin' you.

I was up the ladder doing some work on Ray's Retreat with Ray asleep on his verandah, when he woke up, let out a little roar of disapproval and saw me off . His loss as I was about to redecorate it and make it en-suite

At least twenty of these butterflies were hanging around in my garden this late afternoon. This one was sitting on my broom made of dead twigs.
Tomorrow I will fly my broom to Archeon to see some goblinfriends, witches, pirates, and other strange people from Middle Earth and Shadowland.
See you later, folks!

Project 365 // Day 204
Another shot inspired by the amazing show, Dexter. I love creating moody, and dark scenes like this – for me, they create a sense of mystery. What is it? Well if I told you, it would ruin the fun... but let's just say that it was not nearly as fun cleaning up. :)

Shisen-dō (詩仙堂) is a Buddhist temple of the Sōtō Zen sect in Sakyō-ku, Kyoto, Japan. It is registered as a historic site of Japan. It stands on the grounds of its founder, the Edo period intellectual Ishikawa Jōzan (1583–1672), who established the temple in 1641.
A room in the main temple displays portraits of thirty-six Chinese poets. The selection of the poets was based on the opinion of Hayashi Razan. The portraits were executed by Kanō Tan'yū. This and some other parts of the building date to the time of Ishikawa Jōzan.
The temple's gardens are considered masterworks of Japanese gardens.[1] One of them includes a device called a sōzu, a type of shishi-odoshi designed to scare away wild animals such as deer by making a loud noise. Water trickles into a bamboo tube, and when it reaches a certain level, it upsets the balance of the tube. The tube tips over on a pivot, discharging the water, and turns upright, striking a rock and emitting a loud clapping noise.

Cada dia tem seu pôr do Sol ...
em cada lugar ou em cada angulo que voce olhar...
vai encontrar um por do sol...
mas será diferente de todos que estarão olhando...
mesmo o sol sendo único ...
importa onde voce esta ,
não com quem voce esta...
para ver o seu sol, e ter a sua despedida...
esta imagem será única na sua alma...

Encontrando-me com um sertanejo,
Perto de um pé de maracujá,
Eu lhe perguntei:
Diga-me caro sertanejo,
Porque razão nasce branca e roxa,
A flor do maracujá?
Ah, pois então eu lhi conto,
A estória que ouvi contá,
A razão pro que nasci branca i roxa,
A frô do maracujá.
Maracujá já foi branco,
Eu posso inté lhe ajurá,
Mais branco qui caridadi,
Mais brando do que o luá.
Quando a frô brotava nele,
Lá pros cunfim do sertão,
Maracujá parecia,
Um ninho de argodão.
Mais um dia, há muito tempo,
Num meis que inté num mi alembro,
Si foi maio, si foi junho,
Si foi janeiro ou dezembro.
Nosso sinhô Jesus Cristo,
Foi condenado a morrê,
Numa cruis crucificado,
Longe daqui como o quê,
Pregaro cristo a martelo,
E ao vê tamanha crueza,
A natureza inteirinha,
Pois-se a chorá di tristeza.
Chorava us campu,
As foia, as ribeira,
Sabiá tamém chorava,
Nos gaio a laranjera,
E havia junto da cruis,
Um pé de maracujá,
Carregadinho de frô,
Aos pé de nosso sinhô.
I o sangue de Jesus Cristo,
Sangui pisado de dô,
Nus pé du maracujá,
Tingia todas as frô,
Eis aqui seu moço,
A estória que eu vi contá,
A razão proque nasce branca i roxa,
A frô do maracujá
London Sovereign VLE23 on route 183 in Harrow.
This picture completes a set of pictures of VLE23, with old VA blinds, on all of Edgware's daily routes (excluding school routes). Since its arrival at Edgware up until September 2016, VLE23 was generally allocated to the 114 and ran on the last day of the route with London Sovereign. However it would occasionally deviate off the 114 with 13 appearances, so far, on the 183, with one such working depicted here in Harrow during July 2016. In addition to this, VLE23 has also made nine appearances on the 292 with the qualifier for Colindale Superstores displaying ASDA. Any bus other than a VH is typically rare on Sovereign's flagship route 13 into Central London. VLEs have, and still do appear on the route albeit very rarely. VLE23 has, to date, only made two appearances (and only two trips!) on the 13, with the last being as recent as the 20th September! For completeness sake, VLE23 has also run on the 605 seven times, 618 once and the 619 twice, to date. The VA blind set does not have 605, and 618/9 which were new routes last year so sightings on these routes have not been counted as it does not have any displays for them!
