A different perspective on one of the most famous lakes in Canada, Peyto Lake.
The outlet waters from this iconic lake form the Mistaya river, creating a beautiful chasm on it's way to the North Saskatchewan River. A few pics of the river in comments.
The last Friday of the year is here. 2016 sure whizzed bye fast.....
Reed Warbler - Acrocephalus scirpaceus
The Reed Warbler is a medium-sized warbler of reedbeds. A summer visitor to the UK, it weaves its nest as a sling between two or three reed stems, and lays three to five eggs in it. Forming monogamous pairs, both parents raise the chicks.
Reed Warblers are common victims of brood-parasitism by Cuckoos.
It is migratory, wintering in sub-Saharan Africa.

LE CULTE DE LA ROSE**
Célébrant une fleur,c'est un hymne à la femme
Que Bécaud a chanté avec toute son âme.
Suscitant le désir, elle engendre la vie,
Quand, semblable à la rose, elle s'épanouit.
Déesse de l'amour, fascinante et féconde,
Elle est indispensable à la survie du monde.
Èros, dieu puissant qui incarnait l'amour
Agit, différemment, sans doute, de nos jours.
Cette splendide fleur que l'on appelle rose,
Doit être protégée, en bouton ou éclose.
Des hommes la célèbrent et vantent ses attraits,
Pour vénérer la femme en des rites secrets.
La rose est l'important,nous affirma Bécaud.
Il loua cette fleur symbolique, tout haut.
Elle nous apparaît,reine par sa beauté
Et déesse accomplie de la fécondité.

Tilya-Kori-Madrasa forms together with two other madrasahs the world famous Registan in Samarkand, Uzbekistan. It was built 1646-1660 and while in Ulugh Bek you find many souvenir shops, here you find resplendent fairytale ceiling work.
Zusammen mit zwei weiteren Medresen gehört Tilya-Kori-Madrasa zum weltberühmten Registan in Samarkand, Usbekistan. Sie wurde in den Jahren 1646 bis 1660 erbaut. Während in Ulugh Bek viele kleine Souvenirläden zu finden sind, findet man hier farbenfrohe prächtige Deckenkunst, die einen an Märchen erinnert.

La pastora de Ipiñaburu (Zeanuri) Puy Arrieta y esposa del pastor Jon Etxebarria volvió a subir con su rebaño a las verdes campas de Aldaminazpi, en Gorbeia. Será en esos parajes donde residirá el rebaño hasta finales de octubre, siguiendo la tradición de la trashumancia, que esta pareja mantiene viva en el valle desde hace unos cuantos años. Aprovechando la circunstancia, el grupo Ipiñaburuko Artzain Taldea ha vuelto a organizar una excursión para acompañar a la pastora hasta la residencia de verano de este rebaño numeroso. La comitiva partió a las 9.00 horas desde la cuadra de Ipiñaburu para al de unas horas llegar a Aldaminazpi.
Tres horas más tarde, pasado el mediodía, la expedición encabezada por las ovejas habrá llegado a las campas de Aldaminazpi. Será tiempo para comer un hamaiketako después de una mañana pasada por un sirimiri constante. La comitiva estuvo formada por jóvenes y adultos que disfrutaron de una mañana excelente en un lugar de encanto como es el parque natural de Gorbeia.
En esta imagen Puy saluda a los vecinos de Lambreabe al paso del rebaño por esa barriada de Zeanuri.
A rainbow is a meteorological phenomenon that is caused by reflection, refraction and dispersion of light in water droplets resulting in a spectrum of light appearing in the sky. It takes the form of a multicoloured circular arc. Rainbows caused by sunlight always appear in the section of sky directly opposite the sun.

Bullfinch - Pyrrhula Pyrrhula (F)
The Eurasian bullfinch, common bullfinch or bullfinch (Pyrrhula pyrrhula) is a small passerine bird in the finch family, Fringillidae. In Anglophone Europe it is known simply as bullfinch, as it is the original bird to bear the name bullfinch.
The bullfinch is a bulky bull-headed bird. The upper parts are grey; the flight feathers and short thick bill are black; as are the cap and face in adults (they are greyish-brown in juveniles), and the white rump and wing bars are striking in flight. The adult male has red underparts, but females and young birds have grey-buff underparts. It moults between July and October, but males do not have the duller autumn plumage that is typical of some other finches. The song of this unobtrusive bird contains fluted whistles, and is often described as 'mournful'.
This bird breeds across Europe and temperate Asia. It is mainly resident, but many northern birds migrate further south in the winter. Mixed woodland with some conifers is favoured for breeding, including parkland and gardens.
This species does not form large flocks outside the breeding season, and is usually seen as a pair or family group.
The food is mainly seeds and buds of fruit trees, which can make it a pest in orchards: in England for centuries every parish paid a bounty for every bullfinch killed. Ash and hawthorn are favoured in autumn and early winter. If wild bird cover is planted for it, kale, quinoa and millet are preferred, next to tall hedges or woodland.

Forme bleue ( sombre ) Blue morph ( dark morph ).
Cette oie sombre appartient à la même famille que l'Oie des neiges.
Cependant, on la distingue à son plumage foncé et sa tête blanche. Elle est aussi plus petite que l'Oie des neiges.
On compte environ un individu de forme bleue pour 1000 individus de forme blanche ( Oie des neiges ).
Pyramid Lake is a reservoir formed by Pyramid Dam on Piru Creek in the eastern San Emigdio Mountains, near Castaic, Southern California. It is a part of the West Branch California Aqueduct, which is a part of the California State Water Project. Its water is fed by the system after being pumped up from the San Joaquin Valley and through the Tehachapi Mountains.
In 1843, gold was discovered near what is now Pyramid Lake, in the Santa Feliciana Canyon, just south of what is now Pyramid Dam. The small find failed to trigger a rush to the mountainous countryside. Only Francisco Lopes, owner of Rancho Temescal, a Mexican land grant, and a handful of ranchers attempted to settle the region.
This lake was created in 1972, and completed in 1973, as a holding reservoir for the California State Water Project. The lake was named after a pyramid-shaped rock carved out by engineers building U.S. Route 99. Travelers between Los Angeles and Bakersfield christened the landmark “Pyramid Rock,” which still stands just adjacent to the dam.
Pyramid Lake is the deepest lake in the California Water Project system, built up along the steep canyon walls surrounding Piru Creek.
The 180,000 acre⋅ft (220,000,000 m3) reservoir lies on the border between the Angeles National Forest and the Los Padres National Forest, in the northwestern portion of Los Angeles County. It is to the west of Interstate 5 (I-5) south of Tejon Pass. The former alignment of US 99 is below the waters here, replaced by I-5.
Pyramid Lake seen from the air with the Pacific Ocean in the distance. Just below the dam, Piru Creek returns to its natural state as it winds down through the Topatopa Mountains to feed into the Lake Piru reservoir and later the Santa Clara River. Pumps carry water from Pyramid Lake to Castaic Lake, which is the terminus of the west branch of the aqueduct. Pyramid and Castaic act as the upper and lower reservoirs for a 1,495-megawatt pumped storage hydroelectric plant.

Los estromatolitos poco a poco van enlazando las piedras del río formando figuras como estas.
Estos estromatolitos son estructuras minerales originadas por la actividad metabólica de las cianobacterias presentes en sus aguas.
¿Por qué este río es tan especial para la ciencia?
Durante mucho tiempo las aguas del Tinto se creyeron carentes de vida, hasta el punto de que se plantearon procesos para la limpieza de "su contaminación", que afortunadamente no llegaron a desarrollarse. Y en cierto modo sí que parece un río estéril porque no hay organismos eucariotas superiores en sus aguas; sin embargo, su biodiversidad es enorme: se han descrito más de 1.100 especies distintas de hongos y un centenar de algas, además de protistas y bacterias.
La aparente contaminación del río no es tal, sino que se trata del resultado de un complejo proceso de interacción entre las comunidades bacterianas que lo habitan y el sustrato. Algunas bacterias presentes en el río no obtienen su energía al quemar con oxígeno la glucosa y otros nutrientes como hacemos gran parte de los seres vivos, sino que la obtienen a expensas de los minerales que afloran de la franja pirítica de Huelva.
Por tanto, las condiciones de extrema acidez y de elevadas concentraciones de iones férrico y sulfato en las aguas del Tinto son debidas a la actividad quimiolitotrófica de los microorganismos que lo habitan y que son capaces de oxidar los sulfuros metálicos, en alta concentración en la zona de afloramiento del Tinto.
Lo que hace del Tinto un lugar especial para el estudio de las posibilidades de existencia de vida en Marte es que los seres vivos que lo habitan no han llegado de otros lugares y se han adaptado a este medio tan extremo, sino que han ido evolucionando en el propio río y han ido modulando el medio en el que viven.
El conocimiento de todo esto nos debe llevar a la necesidad de defender la protección de ese ecosistema tan excepcional, por eso es muy lamentable que los vertidos que muy a menudo transforman en los últimos tiempos la coloración de sus aguas (probablemente procedentes del vertedero de residuos tóxicos de Nerva), o la reapertura de la mina estén deteriorándolo muy rápidamente.

Antelope Canyon was formed by erosion of Navajo Sandstone, primarily due to flash flooding and secondarily due to other sub-aerial processes. Rainwater, especially during monsoon season, runs into the extensive basin above the slot canyon sections, picking up speed and sand as it rushes into the narrow passageways. Over time the passageways eroded away, making the corridors deeper and smoothing hard edges in such a way as to form characteristic 'flowing' shapes in the rock.

Le Queyras est une vallée du département des Hautes-Alpes, mais également un parc naturel régional, où se pratiquent le ski en hiver et randonnée pédestre en été. Il est notamment traversé par le GR 58 qui permet d'en faire le tour ou le GR 5.
La vallée est traversée par le Guil et comporte sept communes aujourd'hui regroupées au sein d'une communauté de communes : Arvieux, Abriès-Ristolas, Aiguilles, Ceillac, Château-Ville-Vieille, Molines-en-Queyras et Saint-Véran. Ceillac ne faisait pas partie du Queyras historique : il appartenait à l'évêché d'Embrun et n'entrait pas dans l'escarton du Queyras.
Le parc est délimité au nord et à l'est par la frontière avec l'Italie, depuis le sommet du Grand Glaiza jusqu'à la tête des Toillies via le col Agnel. Puis il suit la crête délimitant le bassin versant de l'Ubaye jusqu'à la Mortice et remonte au nord-ouest jusqu'à Guillestre, dans la basse vallée du Guil, qui constitue la principale porte naturelle sur le Queyras. Depuis Guillestre, la limite suit la crête orientée Nord séparant la vallée d'Arvieux de la Durance et passant par le pic du Béal Traversier puis prend une direction nord-est jusqu'au col d'Izoard, passage mythique du tour de France cycliste et finit par la ligne de crête séparant la vallée des Fonts au nord et passant par le pic de Rochebrune, jusqu'à la frontière italienne. Le Queyras correspond au bassin versant du Guil ; son point culminant est le pic nord des pics de la Font Sancte et non le mont Viso dont le sommet se trouve dans le Piémont en Italie, mais dont le tour passe par le Queyras.
The Queyras is a valley located in the French Hautes-Alpes, of which the geographical extent is the basin of the river Guil, a tributary of the Durance. The Queyras is one of the oldest mountain ranges of the Alps, and it was one of the last ones to be opened to public tourism towards the end of the 20th century, thus being relatively untouched by environmental destruction.
The Queyras is also one of the 58 Regional nature parks of France.
The GR58, also known as the Tour du Queyras ("The tour of Queyras" in French), is a long-distance walking route that forms a 108-km hiking loop in the Queyras.

View form Trail Ridge Road (highest continuous paved road in the US reaching elevation of 12,183 feet), Rocky Mountain National Park, Colorado. Driving on this road is little nerve wrecking, but in the end rewarded by breathtaking scenery. Changing elevation takes you from tree lines to alpine tundra which has very fragile ecosystem. Weather up top is ever changing and highly unpredictable.
