Isaba es una villa y un municipio español de la Comunidad Foral de Navarra, situado en la merindad de Sangüesa, en la comarca de Roncal-Salazar, el valle de Roncal .
La villa se ubica en una ladera de un promontorio en la confluencia de los ríos Uztárroz, Belagua y Belabarce que, a partir de ahí, forman el río Esca y al pie de la peña de Ardibidiguinea y cerca de la de Ezkaurre
Está situada a 96 km de Pamplona al noreste de Navarra, en la frontera con la provincia de Huesca y de Francia. En su término municipal se encuentra el pico más alto de la geografía navarra, la Mesa de los Tres Reyes, llamada así porque se encuentra justo en la confluencia de los antiguos reinos (actuales comunidades autónomas) de Navarra y de Aragón con el (también antiguo reino) de Francia.
Descubra las calles estrechas y empedradas en torno a las que se alzan armoniosas casas señoriales de piedra y madera, con empinados tejados a dos o cuatro aguas que evitan que la nieve se deposite en ellos.
En el centro del pueblo, se alza majestuosa la iglesia-fortaleza de San Cipriano del siglo XVI. Y como buen ejemplar de los escudos nobiliarios que predominan en Isaba, acérquese a contemplar el de la fuente Uturrotx, en el que aparece labrada la historia del valle. Aunque la mejor manera de conocer la identidad y la historia roncalesa es visitando la Casa de la Memoria de Isaba.
Desde Isaba podrán acceder a las pistas de esquí de fondo y recorrer múltiples senderos.
A good friend reminded me that she hadn't seen any photos of my recent (October 09) trip to Hawaii, so be prepared for steady stream. This little guy often checked out our breakfast at Bongo Ben's in Kona, on the Big Island
Continuing the theme, colour processing this time, had some harsh light through the trees to deal with

Salt Lake City, Utah, Winter 2001
The 2002 Winter Olympics are hosted by Salt Lake City at several venues within the city, in nearby cities, and within the adjacent Wasatch Mountains. This simulated natural color image presents a snowy, winter view of north central Utah that includes all of the Olympic sites. The image extends from Ogden in the north, to Provo in the south; and includes the snow-capped Wasatch Mountains and the eastern part of the Great Salt Lake.
This image was acquired on February 8, 2001 by the Advanced Spaceborne Thermal Emission and Reflection Radiometer (ASTER) on NASA's Terra satellite. With its 14 spectral bands from the visible to the thermal infrared wavelength region, and its high spatial resolution of 15 to 90 meters (about 50 to 300 feet), ASTER will image Earth for the next 6 years to map and monitor the changing surface of our planet.
ASTER is one of five Earth-observing instruments launched December 18,1999, on NASA's Terra satellite. The instrument was built by Japan's Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry. A joint U.S./Japan science team is responsible for validation and calibration of the instrument and the data products. Dr. Anne Kahle at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Pasadena, California, is the U.S. Science team leader; Bjorn Eng of JPL is the project manager. ASTER is the only high resolution imaging sensor on Terra. The Terra mission is part of NASA's Earth Science Enterprise, along-term research and technology program designed to examine Earth's land, oceans, atmosphere, ice and life as a total integrated system.
The broad spectral coverage and high spectral resolution of ASTER will provide scientists in numerous disciplines with critical information for surface mapping, and monitoring dynamic conditions and temporal change. Example applications are: monitoring glacial advances and retreats; monitoring potentially active volcanoes; identifying crop stress; determining cloud morphology and physical properties; wetlands evaluation; thermal pollution monitoring; coral reef degradation; surface temperature mapping of soils and geology; and measuring surface heat balance.

This is a female Gorgon Copper (Lycaena gorgon) butterfly perched on her host plant - native Longstem Buckwheat aka Wand Buckwheat (Eriogonum elongatum) in the Polygonaceae plant family. I know it's a female because I saw her ovipositing on another plant a few moments before. I also got a photo of the male butterfly today visiting flowers of Golden Yarrow, but I like this one better. Unfortunately, neither photo shows the pretty upper wings - see this photo for the upper wings of male and female together. (East Camino Cielo, Santa Ynez Mountains, 11 June 2018)
The winds finally died down today, leaving us with a gorgeous day. I saw hundreds of Variable Checkerspot (Euphydryas chalcedona) butterflies today, as well as an unusual Callippe Fritillary (Speyeria callippe) and the first California Clearwing Moth (Hemaris thetis) of the year. No photos yet, but a quest begins!
Die Blätter fallen, fallen wie von weit,
als welkten in den Himmeln ferne Gärten;
sie fallen mit verneinender Gebärde.
Und in den Nächten fällt die schwere Erde
aus allen Sternen in die Einsamkeit.
Wir alle fallen. Diese Hand da fällt.
Und sieh dir andre an: es ist in allen.
Und doch ist Einer, welcher dieses Fallen
unendlich sanft in seinen Händen hält.
(Rilke: Herbst)
She was our host for the night during the little trek we did there.
In Tagong village, we thought we'd have a guide but we only could take a picture of a map (actually a drawing) to help us find the winter nomad's shelter.
Indeed, for few month each year, they're not really nomads but they live in houses, lost in the high grasslands of Kham.
On the way we met her husband on a bike.
After that, we found them at their house and they welcomed us for a lunch.
