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.
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).
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!!
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.
Tınaztepe Cave, one of the longest caves in the world
Tınaztepe caves are located in Seydişehir, Konya. The world's third, is Turkey's largest caves. Its total length is 22 km, and its navigable part is 1580 meters. It is a completely horizontal cave except the 64-meter descent at the end. It was opened in 2004 as Cave Recreation Facilities.
Located at the crossing of the Konya-Antalya Highway on the Taurus Mountains and discovered by the French scientist Michel Bakalowichz in 1968, the cave is an important natural wonder.
In addition to stalactites and stalagmites, Tınaztepe Cave offers a different environment to its guests with its unchanging heat in summer and winter in its open section.
Stalactites and stalagmites, a cave with a lake inside. The cave, where daily tours are organized due to the ease of transportation, fascinates those who see it. Tinaztepe actual length of 22 kilometers, one of Turkey's longest cave. One of the three few caves in the world
There is 75 percent humidity inside the cave. An ideal cave for asthma patients
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!

Un fragmento de bosque húmedo de montaña despliega una densidad vegetal casi intacta: troncos cubiertos de musgo, helechos arborescentes y una maraña de verdes que absorben la luz filtrada del dosel. La escena transmite aislamiento, humedad y profundidad orgánica, con texturas exuberantes que evocan selvas nubladas tropicales de alta montaña. La composición panorámica enfatiza la inmersión visual y el ritmo natural de las formas vegetales.
A fragment of cloud forest reveals an almost untouched vegetal density: moss-covered trunks, tree ferns, and an intricate web of greens absorbing the filtered canopy light. The scene conveys isolation, humidity, and organic depth, with lush textures reminiscent of tropical montane rainforests. The panoramic composition enhances visual immersion and the natural rhythm of the vegetation forms.
Breaks in the cloud has allowed the sun to warm the water saturated land, producing misty conditions under the leaf canopy.
A walk in the woods today.
qui da me non se ne può più di umidità ...

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.

The heat and humidity were off the charts with a hurricane in the Gulf and tropical storms in the Atlantic and this little family found a spot of water to cool off in and one of the twins grabbed a snack as they stood there.

If you like Science Fiction, classic Science Fiction, than maybe you would like to read "Roadside Picnic" IПикник на обочине, Piknik na obotschinje) from Boris and Arkadi Strugatsky, a masterwork. Loosely based on motifs of the novel Andrei Tarkowski created his iconic film "Stalker".

When I got up this morning, the condensation on our well insulated windows (on the OUTSIDE, of course!) was incredible! It looked like Monet had been busy painting over the windows over night! The house inside is like a meat locker. Outside, it is like a sauna!! Here are some results!
Between crickets' songs, humidity and silence,
the night has nothing to envy the day.
At night you can do everything without doing anything, you just need to stop and observe the light of a street lamp and listen
Tra canti di grilli, umidità e silenzio,
la notte non ha niente da invidiare al giorno.
Di notte si può fare tutto senza fare niente, basta solo fermarsi un attimo sotto la luce di un lampione ed ascoltare
