El Valle de la Luna (the Valley of the Moon) is located 13 kilometres (8 mi) west of San Pedro de Atacama, to the north of Chile in the Cordillera de la Sal, in the Atacama desert.
It has various stone and sand formations which have been carved by wind and water. It has an impressive range of color and texture, looking somewhat similar to the surface of the moon. There are also dry lakes where the composition of salt makes a white covering layer of the area. It presents diverse saline outcrops which appear like man-made sculptures.
There are also a great variety of caverns. When the sun sinks, it is painting pie tones the edges of hills and defiles, while the wind blows among the rocks and the sky passes from pink color to purple and finally black.
Valle de la Luna is a part of the Reserva Nacional los Flamencos and was declared a Nature Sanctuary in 1982 for its natural environment and strange lunar landscape, from which its name is derived.
The Atacama desert is also considered one of the driest places on earth, as some areas have not received a single drop of rain in hundreds of years. A prototype for a Mars rover was tested there by scientists because of the valley's dry and forbidding terrains.
Here in Diano Marina on the Italian Riviera, it is currently always around 100 percent humidity without it raining properly. If there is precipitation, then only briefly. The moisture on the ground evaporates immediately with this heat and forms a mysterious haze. The picture has largely come about through Midjourney.
A rainforest is an area of tall, mostly evergreen trees and a high amount of rainfall. Rainforests are Earth’s oldest living ecosystems, with some surviving in their present form for at least 70 million years. They are incredibly diverse and complex, home to more than half of the world’s plant and animal species—even though they cover just 6% of Earth’s surface. This makes rainforests astoundingly dense with flora and fauna. Rainforests’ rich biodiversity is incredibly important to our well-being and the well-being of our planet.

Isola della Cona together with the Caneo area, is part of the Natural Reserve called Foce dell’Isonzo; covering a surface of 2,400 hectares, the area is located along the last 15 km of the
river Isonzo and has been recognised as best area in Italy for birdwatching.
Thanks to everyone for your visiting, favs & comments :).
Humidity and high altitude with low atmospheric pressure create an ecosystem that accumulates organic material in the soil that is able to retain water. The high grassland ecosystem (páramo) contains plants suitably adapted to it, 19 of them endemic to Cajas.
The dominant plant is straw grass (Calamagrostis intermedia).
Wildfires occur when all the necessary elements of a fire triforce come together in a susceptible area: an ignition source is brought into contact with a combustible material such as vegetation that is subjected to enough heat and has an adequate supply of oxygen from the ambient air. A high moisture content usually prevents ignition and slows propagation, because higher temperatures are needed to evaporate any water in the material and heat the material to its fire point. Dense forests usually provide more shade, resulting in lower ambient temperatures and greater humidity, and are therefore less susceptible to wildfires. Less dense material such as grasses and leaves are easier to ignite because they contain less water than denser material such as branches and trunks. Plants continuously lose water by evapotranspiration, but water loss is usually balanced by water absorbed from the soil, humidity, or rain. When this balance is not maintained, plants dry out and are therefore more flammable, often as a consequence of droughts.

If you want the same experience, you only need buy a cheap lamp in Ikea, and wait a day full of humidity.... haha!!
Have a nice day!!
A new population is growing due to the good weather conditions, humidity and high temperature.
You could call them survivors ;-))

When the humidity of the night rising up out of the forest and laying down on the trees like a curtain. When the fog is hiding in the shadows of the valleys that the sun can not reach it. Thats really a great sight.
Wenn am frühen Morgen die Feuchtigkeit der Nacht aus dem Wald empor steigt und sich wie ein Schleier über die Bäume legt. Wenn sich der Nebel im Schatten der Täler versteckt damit ihn die Sonne nicht erreicht. Das ist schon ein toller Anblick.
Many parts of Southwestern Ontario celebrated a -2 C today. There was also a lot of sunshine too — a much needed bonus. These droplets of condensation were trapped on my window pane as if telling me “go back to bed.” Instead, I grabbed my camera and took a couple of shots before my morning coffee! May you all have a wonderfully warm day.
15-February-2022: in the narrow and internal valleys, in case of heavy precipitations, it often happens that the thermal 0°C (freezing point in free atmosphere) drops by many hundreds of meters, reaching the bottom of said valleys and causing vertical homothermics.
In this case, the downward drag of the freezing thermal limit, due to the heavy snowfall on the main surrounding mountains was as much as 800m vertically, passing from 1400m a.s.l. at the beginning of precipitation (rainy in the valley) to about 600m a.s.l. in the most intense phase with saturation of water vapor over the entire air column.
It is a particular phenomenon, but very frequent in mountain valleys sheltered (by imposing mountain ranges) from winds that would stir the air while maintaining a thermal gradient that would not be sufficient to keep snow down to the valley floor.
On the Pre-Alps, open to currents from the south, the snow limit remained around 1400m a.s.l., freezing thermal limit in the free atmosphere, only temporarily descending to 1100m a.s.l., while in the internal valleys, sheltered, the snow limit with accumulation on the ground has dropped to 600m a.s.l., having 0°C on an altitude difference of 800m (vertical homothermics).
[https://www.flickr.com/photos/97851705@N03/] I and my shadow often speak to each other
And tell , lockdown? Don't bother
We have each other to to take care .
You scratch my back, yours you bare.
The heat is rising, so is the humidity
Where in the world is serendipity ?
All we witness together hand in hand
Is the dance of death
The tears flooding the length and breath
I see no children scrambling in sand
Neither do I see happy faces running around...
But then fear not my friend
Don't feel lonely
For I have you and you me, totally
No ones there to knock at our door
and disturb
our rendezvous in solitude over the moor...
So what were we talking about...I and my shadow often...
Illuminations Reflections of Earth is a great fireworks display around the World Showcase at Epcot. This particular evening the smoke hung around more than usual due to the humidity.
The park includes approximately 768 lakes in an area of 70,533 acres. It is one of the most important water sources in Cuenca and Ecuador. It has gained international prominence in several categories:
*Wetland of International Importance in 2002 by RAMSAR, *Area of International Importance for the Conservation of Birds by IBA in 2003, and
*Biosphere Reserve by UNESCO in 2013.
We started the tour with a hike through the ecosystem of primary montane forest or cloud forest.

What is an Andean forest?
At this moment, I am surrounded by an Andean forest, also known as cloud forest due to the high humidity in this place. I could find them along the high Andean mountains. In Cajas Massif, these forests are located between 1,000 and 3,600 meters a.s.l. While I hiked on this trail, I witnessed the importance of caring for this forest.
Petunia is a genus in the family Solanaceae, subfamily Petunioideae. Well known members of Solanaceae in other subfamilies include tobacco (subfamily Nicotianoideae), and the cape gooseberry, tomato, potato, deadly nightshade and chili pepper (subfamily Solanoideae). It's a flowering plant of South American origin. Petunias can tolerate relatively harsh conditions and hot climates, but not frost. They need at least five hours of sunlight every day and flourish in moist soil and conditions of low atmospheric humidity. Petunias are generally insect pollinated. The Maya and Inca believed that the scent of petunias had the power to ward off underworld monsters and spirits. Their flower-buds were bunched together for magical drinks. 46677
I caught this chipping sparrow daydreaming today, something that was easy to do on the most delightful spring day we've had to date. We hit the normal high temp of 70 F with sunny skies, low humidity and light winds. Life doesn't get any better.

Museo de Artes y Costumbres Populares - Sevilla
El Museo de Artes y Costumbres Populares de la ciudad de Sevilla (Andalucía, España) está localizado en la plaza de América del parque de María Luisa. Al otro lado de la plaza se encuentra el Museo Arqueológico. Fue el pabellón de Arte Antiguo de la Exposición Iberoamericana de 1929.
Fue planteado como pabellón de Industrias, Manufacturas y Artes Decorativas. Finalmente, se le llamó pabellón de Arte Antiguo e Industrias Artísticas. Se trata de un edificio proyectado en 1913 y construido en 1914 por el arquitecto Aníbal González, autor también de los otros edificios levantados en la misma plaza de América. Es de ladrillo visto con motivos decorativos de cerámica. Por su estilo arquitectónico, fue conocido como el pabellón Mudéjar.
En principio constaba de dos plantas sobre una cámara de aireación para evitar la humedad. Se realiza una mejora durante la década de 1960 en la planta principal, que tenía más de doce metros de altura, y se dividió con una planta artificial (corresponde a la planta primera) por el arquitecto Antonio Delgado y Roig. En 1972 se unen las plantas con una gran escalera de caracol que diseña el arquitecto José Galnares Sagastizábal, trabajo que realiza después de que la construcción fuese designada para albergar el museo por el Decreto de Creación del Museo de Artes y Costumbres Populares de Sevilla, con fecha de 23 de marzo de 1972, constituido como una sección del Museo de Bellas Artes.
Sus funciones como museo se desarrollan desde el 4 de marzo de 1973, fecha en que abre sus puertas al público.

Museum of Arts and Popular Customs of Seville
The Museum of Arts and Popular Customs of Seville (Spanish: Museo de Artes y Costumbres Populares) is a museum in Seville, Andalusia, Spain, located in the María Luisa Park, across the Plaza de América from the Provincial Archeological Museum.
The museum occupies the Mudéjar Pavilion (Pabellón Mudéjar) designed by Aníbal González and built in 1914. It served as an art pavilion, the Pabellón de Arte Antiguo, for the Ibero-American Exposition of 1929, when Aníbal González had the opportunity to design several additional permanent buildings for the plaza. The exterior is ceramic over brick, and has three doors with archivolts adorned with glazed tiles (azulejos).[citation needed]
The building originally consisted of two stories over an aeration chamber (necessary because of the humidity). In the 1960s, the main floor, originally over 12 metres (39 ft) high, was divided in two, with an intermediate level added by architect Delgado Roig. In 1972, as part of the preparations for the current museum, the various stories of the building were connected by a grand spiral staircase designed by José Galnares Sagastizábal.
The museum was established by a decree of 23 March 1972, initially as a section of the Museum of Fine Arts of Seville. It opened its doors to the public 4 March 1973.[2] For the next seven years, the museum fell under the responsibility of the Ministry of Education and Science, but the city government occupied more than half of the poorly maintained building. Neither institution took full responsibility. This situation led to a series of temporary closures. In 1976, the electric bill could not be paid, and the museum had to be shut until it could get power again. In 1979, heavy rains damaged the interior.

This week's theme for Mosaic Montage Monday was Humidity. It's been pretty hot and humid here and my Agapanthus are starting to wilt. But it didn't keep a lovely butterfly away! HMMM!

I'm weeding again and it's been uncomfortable. 70 to 94% humidity. whew.
even the lumen prints are sweating.

07-May-2022: the basin below represents perhaps the best explicit example of thermal and vegetational inversion of the entire area that I follow.
Smrekova Draga is...
...an area of difficult access (and photography...), with dense forest all around and towards the trees-free bottom (which only a little part can be seen just in the lower part of the shot).
It is closed on all sides and protected to the Mediterranean-Southern currents by the highest peaks in this Karstic plateau area, or mounts Golaki: Mali Golak, 1495m a.s.l., by altitude is the second highest in the Karst-Dinaric Region, after the tops of the Snežnik area, on the opposite side of the Region.
This allows the accumulation and stagnation of icy masses that are difficult to be undermined (sometimes/rarely in case of strong winds and/or with sun heating, but from early may to late august only), favoring gelicide (freezing rain into black ice), when the external temperatures are too high to snow, which can be had for long periods of the year, due to persistent 24h negative values on the bottom, especially from mid october to late april.
The whole area is subject to the phenomenon of vegetational inversion, due to the semi-permanent thermal inversion, with the temporarily red Beech trees (Fagus sylvatica: partially thermophilic deciduous trees) and Silver firs (Abies alba, common fir on Dinarides and Apennines) giving way to the Spruces (Picea abies, Smreka in Slovenian, that gives the name to the valley and it is the fir that makes up the Siberian taiga) towards the basin floor, with the bottom of which devoid of tall vegetation, limiting high mountain vegetation such as dwarf Willows and a couple of Birches (Betula pendula), montana Pine (Pinus mugo) and lichens.
Thanks to the high humidity of the area, the vegetation is very flourishing, but there are many trees battered, especially by the weight of the ice or ice-snow mix, from the edge, descending towards this large, deep (200 meters lower than where I was photographing, at about 1300m a.s.l.), icy basin.
It should also be noted that the broad-leaved trees are still bare, even further behind in the foliage than in the Alpine valleys, and among these the widespread Beech (Fagus sylvatica var dinarica) emerges with its branches temporarily of a decisive burgundy red color.
They exhibit this color for short periods both immediately after losing their leaves, in autumn, and just before foliar, in May.

Photo taken in the mangrove at the north end of the Cairns Esplanade... I still remember how the humidity and the mosquitos have attacked as soon as I approached the mangrove. It looked like I was entering in a dense jungle... and I was only a few meters away from the esplanade and from the hotel where I was staying.

Breaks in the cloud has allowed the sun to warm the water saturated land, producing misty conditions under the leaf canopy.

In a biogeographic definition, paramo is any intertropical mountain ecosystem, characterized by shrubby vegetation that generally occurs from altitudes of about 3,000 to 4,000 meters or up to 5,000 meters, that is, in regions above the forest line. continuous but still below the permanent snow line. It is found in East Africa, New Guinea, and Central and South America. However, since in each of these regions this ecosystem has a specific name, when discussing Paramos, we refer specifically to Andean Paramos.
In this strict sense of the term, all Paramos are located in the neotropical zone, mainly in northwestern South America, present in Venezuela, Colombia, Peru and Ecuador. The ecosystem occupies over 30,000 km² of South America and represents 7% of Ecuador's territory. In absolute terms, Colombia is home to 50% of the extent of Paramos (in its three branches of the Andes) and the largest Paramo in the world (Sumapaz).
Paramos' climate is characterized by wide daily fluctuations in temperature and humidity. In general, cold and humid, can undergo a sudden and drastic change in which temperatures fluctuate from below freezing to 30 ° C plus in a daily freeze-thaw cycle. High altitude in tropical locations produces a special, cold, low air density atmosphere that allows for greater dispersion of ultraviolet radiation (light and heat). This climate can be summed up in the phrase "winter every night and summer every day."
In Paramo ecosystems, soils are generally recent, of glacial and volcanic origin, and many are still in formation. Its structure is a combination of organic material that decomposes very slowly in cold weather with volcanic ash. They usually have low pH (acidity) because of the abundance of moisture and high content of organic matter. These characteristics contribute to soil water retention, which in turn is the basis of an essential environmental service: the constant storage and distribution of clean water to lower places.
The largest and most known area is the Páramo grass, which covers large areas of the mountain ranges. It extends from approximately 3,500 to 4,100 m in height, and is mainly composed of grasses and small shrubs.
I went walking one of my favorite local trails over the weekend and captured this in the late evening. The humidity was at an all time high. The lens would continue to fog up after each snap of the shutter. I believe it was the fog on the lens that created the trails in the sky above. I actually shot the same framing the night before without a tripod and just wasn’t happy with the look of it. So I went back the next night with the same conditions. I’m happy the the bench and more importantly the roots of the tree came out as detailed as I hoped for given the conditions.
