It is the third highest mountain in Brazil, situated on the border of Espírito Santo and Minas Gerais states. It is the highest point in both states. It was historically considered the highest mountain in Brazil until 1965, when Pico da Neblina and Pico 31 de Março, next to the Venezuelan border, were explored, measured, and both found to be higher. The peak is said to have been so named after Pedro II, Emperor of Brazil, ordered a flag to be flown on top of it.
It is one of the major attractions of Caparaó National Park, accessible from the nearby town of Alto Caparaó. That town and the entrance to the park lie in Minas Gerais, but the summit of Pico da Bandeira lies in Espírito Santo.
The summit is accessible to hikers of most age groups, with only very limited fitness requirements. The track from the park entrance to the summit track [8 km (5.0 mi)] can be driven by most vehicles, and the summit track itself runs for approximately 9 km (5.6 mi), with a further 1,000 m (3,280 ft) climb.

The sequence of the highest mountains in Brazil:
#1: Pico da Neblina (2,993.80 m / 9,822 ft), Venezuela/Brazil;
#2: March 31 Peak (2,972.70 m / 9,816 ft), Venezuela/Brazil;
#3: Pico da Bandeira (2,892 m / 9,488 ft), Brazil;
#4: Pico do Calçado* (2,849 m / 9,347 ft), Brazil;
#6: Pico do Cristal (2,769.80 m / 9,084 ft), Brazil;
The difference from the third highest to the first is only 101.80 meters / 334 ft in altitude.
I climbed the third, fourth and sixth in Brazil this weekend. Only the sixth mountain is challenging.
* For reasons of topographical prominence, the IBGE considers Pico do Calçado a secondary peak of Pico da Bandeira and not a separate mountain.
Just the wishful thinking is not enough … but it needs just some positive actions and – who knows – the world could be at our feet …
Wishing you a perfect week-end and that all your dreams come true!!!

How can you say that your not responsible?
What does it have to do with me?
What is my reaction?
What should it be?
Confronted by this latest atrocity
Driven to tears
Driven to tears
Driven to tears
Hide my face in my hands, shame wells in my throat
My comfortable existence is reduced
To a shallow, meaningless party
Seems that when some innocents die
All we can offer them is a page in a some magazine
Too many cam'ras and not enough food
Cause this is what we've seen
Driven to tears
Driven to tears
Driven to tears
Protest is futile
Nothing seems to get through
What's to become of our world?
Who knows what to do?
Driven to tears
Driven to tears
Well,nobody has driven this classic for a good long time,but its appeal holds up pretty well.One of the ultimate of barn finds,this 1934ish Dodge Brothers 2 door sedan sits on a forgotten farm well off the highway in northwestern Illinois.Though this picture was taken 2 years ago,the old car remains and is definitely due for a revisit.
The Dodge Brothers started out making bicycles but soon turned to making quality automotive parts.They were given a 10% stake in the Ford Motor Co. which they soon sold to start their own brand of quality cars and trucks.The brothers both died unexpectantly in 1920,and in 1928,their company was sold to Chrysler....

Barrel racing! The horse and rider race into the arena, weave a "clover-leaf" pattern around three barrels, and race back past the finish line as quickly as possible. This young girl and her horse show the intensity that competitors bring to this sport. Curving around the barrels, without touching or tipping them, is the most exciting and risky part of the race.

I will beat her! I've lost to her before but not this time!
P.S What is it with mean spirited people who love to pick on the soft hearted? I read about here on Flickr and it happens in real life too. Get a life!
For the people that get picked on, I understand; It is disheartening when it happens you feel deflated and shocked but then you fight back by not changing who you are. That is the only way to win or they keep doing it because they're miserable so they want to make you just as miserable. Don't give them the power or satisfaction.
For the sociopaths; If you don't have anything nice to say don't say anything at all. The world doesn't need to hear it.
Having driven from North Platte and stayed the night in Chadron, I was ready to embark on the slowest train of my trip, the every-other-day train from Rapid City to Crawford, Nebraska. With an 0800 departure from Dakota Junction, I scouted the line as the train progressed. Mind you, northwestern Nebraska doesn't offer much besides the undulating hills and a few creek bridges. I noticed I was traveling Old U.S. Highway 20, the longest road in the US. This section had long been abandoned after being rerouted nearby. Just imagine driving this and seeing a train was the only diversion from the road. The slowly clearing cloud cover helped as the train ambles along at 10mph through the sparsely populated land on its way to Crawford.

Sorry about the editing, but I was facing the sun for this perspective and it was the only way to solve the burnt out section in post processing. Should I have cloned out the flood light though?

I had driven up the hill to use the VHF and Short wave radios in my car for an evening, when I saw this sun ray in the valley below, the great shame is I did not have my camera's with me only my phone :-(
Titterstone Clee Hill ,s a well know high spot for amateur radio use due to it's height and remoteness from interference found in all modern built up area's.
American Oystercatchers appear to be extremely patient parents. This adult was attempting to feed an insect to its chick of just a few days old. Twice the young shorebird tried and failed to keep the bug in its small beak. Each time the adult picked the insect up off the ground and handed it to the baby, showing no signs of frustration. Finally, after the third try this young chick was able to swallow its meal whole. It would have been a beautiful, heartwarming moment if the young chick hadn’t greedily driven its sibling away only moments before, keeping the food for itself. Don’t judge too harshly though. It’s tough out there in the wild and fighting for food, and survival, is something animals must learn at a young age. Fortunately, both Oystercatcher parents share feeding responsibilities and the chicks were well fed.
It's Dandelion season again and I've been toying with this idea for a few weeks. I took a few water drop refraction shots today, for the first time. I had fun when I worked it out.

Found this little dandelion on a walk and just thought to grab an image really quickly! I honestly didn't know dandelions were around in the winter.

Storm-driven waves at Kismet, Fire Island National Seashore, New York It was not a day for swimming, even if it was warmer. I like the mist in the air above the crashing waves and the two distant fishermen who give a sense of the scale of the waves.-- October 7, 2024

I have driven past Kingston on the 401 hundreds of times enroute to or from destinations further east. It was always too close to home to warrant a stop on the outbound trip and on the way home it was always "No, let's keep going and get home". I ventured into downtown Kingston once 30+ years ago and one evening before that stopped here at the station and shot the Turbos on a gloomy evening. So recently, not really wanting to venture too far afield but will plenty of accumulated vacation time I found myself in Kingston for a few days. Most of the days were spend cycling but the evenings were free to hand around the station and check out the Via and CN action through town.
This is Ottawa - Toronto train #55 making its station stop and preparing to make a more or less on-time departure at 1941 after the allotted four minute station stop. The close to full moon is just rising in the east, making a quick appearance before being swallowed up by the cloud cover.
