Le Lac de Myvatn est une des zones les plus touristiques d’Islande. Situé au nord de l’île à 1 heure de route environ d’Akureyri, c’est un bon point de chute pour rayonner dans la région du nord est de l’île : à Husavik, vous pourrez partir à la recherche des baleines à bosses, tandis qu’à Dettifoss vous pourrez admirer une des cascades les plus puissantes d’Europe !
Mais surtout, les abords du lac concentrent à eux seuls un grand nombre de sites géologiques variés, que ce soit pour le volcanisme ou la géothermie. Je pense que l’on pourrait y passer facilement y rester une semaine sans ennuyer ! Myvatn est une base idéale pour pratiquer de multiples activités : randonnée, vélo, balade à cheval, baignade dans des sources chaudes… où pour partir en excursion au volcan Askja pour avoir un aperçu du centre de l’Islande.

Tomorrow, the Olympic Winter Games 2022 in Beijing will be opened. There has been a lot of discussion about the meaningfulness of this event, being held in times of pandemic, in an autocratic country that tramples human rights underfoot, and in the presence of a threat of war between Russia and Ukraine.
Olympic ideals and values seem to apply to athletes only, the main purpose is about big money and state propaganda.
Is the Olympic idea starting to starting to dissolve - as the 5 rings in this image do... ?
#InternationalWomensDay
#March8
Not a ladybird which might have been a slightly more appropriate "supermodel" for International Women's Day because of its name, but an equally pretty Cryptocephalus bipunctatus. The whole supermodel thing is a relic of the past anyway, but unfortunately, we still haven't freed ourselves from questionable beauty "ideals" that often come across as beauty dictates. Social media and "influencers" don't make it any easier, especially not for the younger generation that is exposed (and exposes itself) to what one might call the "daily dose of beauty brainwash", recently taken to the next level with the all-new "beauty filters".
In Berlin (and in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, one of Germany's Northern federal states), March 8 is an official holiday, but not (yet?) in the other 14 of our 16 federal states. So this Wednesday – where all shops, schools, etc. are closed (and the weather is too ghastly to go outside – winter made a snowy-wet, cold reappearance) – feels like a very quiet, lazy Sunday, and I have too much time for writing rants instead of simply letting you enjoy this adorable, brightly orange beetle, a member of the so-called "Fallkäfer" (Cryptocephalinae) subfamily of the leaf beetle family. The name "Fallkäfer" (a beetle that falls or drops) derives from their distinctive habit of dropping abruptly when disturbed. This image also is a true oldie, I've taken it back in June 2017 at the beautiful public park Britzer Garten. The focus is ever so slightly off and more on the plant than on the beetle itself, but I think it's still sharp enough in general.
Wishing all of my female Flickr friends a Happy International Women's Day!
The contrast could not be greater after the mist of Baguio , we visited the Philip-Ann beach resort , Anilao , Batangas Calabarzon on the island Luzon, Philippines
The song: I won't let the sun go down on me , is the theme song there.

The info:
Anilao is a quiet barangay on the northern coast of Mabini, a peninsula-municipality that separates Balayan Bay from Batangas Bay. Yep, it’s just a barangay. But Anilao’s popularity prompted resorts in neighboring villages to market themselves as also part of Anilao. These days, as far as tourism is concerned, Anilao is almost synonymous to the whole Mabini municipality.
Thanks to its proximity to Manila (only 3 hours away), it has become an ideal destination for divers, especially to beginners who may be a bit hesitant to travel to the far corners of the country for a first dip. The hidden wonders it keeps in its depths are no longer secret, but they continue to amaze curious souls.
Ideal for the temporary marking of reference materials and the like. I use them all the time.
HMM!

Vi una foto que al momento despertó en mí el deseo de hacer mi versión, me hubieran visto, como niña de preescolar, dibujando, recortando, pintando y pegando. Y ya listas las figuras esperar el momento ideal para salir al parque y tomar las fotos, necesitaba la luz del sol de lado y bueno esto es lo que logre, me divertí y eso fue lo mejor después de dos meses sin tener ideas o inspiración.
Todos tienen sus propios sueños, a veces sus alas están rotas por la realidad, a veces abandonan sus ideales debido a un pequeño fracaso, solo aquellos que perseveran, que han crecido después bautismo de años. realmente pueden tener la suerte.
A shot from Coigach taken while fishing for Pollock. These beautiful clouds started forming and lit up the sky over Stac Pollaidh and Cul Mor. I also caught lots of fish, so a brilliant evening all around. The Ideal Height is a track by Biffy Clyro, and is fine.
A southbound Pacific Surfliner rolls along the ocean near Del Mar. The house on the right is no doubt out of my budget, but I could still dream of watching Surfliners and BNSF freight passing through from an incredible vantage point.
As traditionally defined:
a. To sail or travel about, as for pleasure or reconnaissance;
b. To go or move along, especially in an unhurried or unconcerned fashion;
c. To travel at a constant speed or at a speed providing maximum operating efficiency for a sustained period;
d. To move leisurely about an area in the hope of discovering something.
All perfectly characterizing my dear loons who remain still, providing the ideal canoe companions and the perfect example of how to best utilize the lake. Here, the male shown in the morning fogs which now characterize the lake, they will stay until the first signs of ice arrive.

Véritable poumon vert de la commune et du Dunkerquois avec ses 33 hectares, le Parc d’Agglomération du Fort Louis est basé sur le site d’un ancien fort militaire construit par Vauban, dont on peut encore voir la porte d’entrée et, ici sur le cliché, les douves.
Une véritable mutation est en cours avec l'abattage de près de 70% des peupliers qui ornent le parc. Ceux-ci menacent de s'écrouler et vont être remplacés par de nouvelles espèces: charmes, frênes, bouleaux et autres arbustes.

Green lung of the Dunkirk region with its 33 hectares, the park of Fort Louis is located on the site of an old military fort built by Vauban, which you can still see the front door, and the moat.
A real transformation is underway with the chopping down of nearly 70% of poplars that adorn the park. They threaten to collapse and will be replaced by new species: hornbeam, ash, birch and also shrubs.

Pour ceux qui ne connaissent pas les Gili, ce sont des îles au nombre de 3, Gili Trawangan, Gilir Air et Gili Meno qui sont situées entre Bali et Lombok.
Pour rejoindre les 3 îles entre elles, il faut obligatoirement prendre un bateau, le trajet ne dure que q, q, s, minutes.
Sur les trois îles, nous avons opté pour Gili Air pour y séjourner 3 jours. L’île est petite, en flânant on y fait le tour en 1 h
Pas de moteur sur les îles, on circule à pied, vélo, calèches ou Scooter électrique.
Idéale pour le snorkeling, ( j'ai eu le plaisir immense de nager à côté d'une tortue de mer), la farniente sur les plages, les couchers de soleil, poissons grillés.
Nous avons aimé nous balader dans Gili Air, de jolis restos et petits bars en bord de plage, plages superbes, ambiance beaucoup plus calme et relaxante qu’à Gili T.

Desde esta localidad de Elgorriaga se puede hacer un interesante paseo por el monte, ruta marcada, de pequeña dificultad y a poca altura, de unos 5 km hasta la vecina localidad de Doneztebe / Santesteban. Personalmente lo recomiendo.
2019 West-Tsavos National Park, Kenya. Peitit comme le Dikdik,mais lui il aime les terrains arrides avec rochers. Ici en plein terrain de lave.
Hace más o menos 1.300 años, dos canoas cargadas de animales y plantas, tripuladas por un grupo de polinesios robustos desembarcaron en la bahía de Anakena y colonizaron lo que luego se convertiría en el punto más aislado del Triángulo polinesio. Basta echar una mirada a las costas que rodean la isla para comprender por qué eligieron desembarcar aquí. Al poco tiempo Anakena llegaría a ser uno de los puntos más importantes de la isla y centro religioso de la tribu Miru.
La playa más importante de la isla; ideal para bañarse y tomar el sol. Cuenta también con lugares para disfrutar de comidas rápidas y hacer picnic.
A New Year and a time for new things. My first new shot of the year from my "big camera". And my new peacock feather! Well, if you count an M4/3 camera as "big," that is — maybe more of a little-big camera? I found this peacock feather while out walking Jazzy this morning, which was serendipitous since my old one was well and truly worn out!
Photographing it turned into quite the production. To capture the feather’s iridescence, it needed sunlight—but the afternoon sun was so harsh and hot. On top of that, the wind was gusting like crazy — not ideal for something as delicate as a feather. After scouting the yard for a spot with a good green backdrop, I finally settled on the front lawn under our Golden Robinia tree. It provided just the right balance of shade and sunlight. Of course, the breeze was relentless, so out came the Gorilla tape. A bit of creative taping later (securing the feather to the tree in multiple places), and I was ready to take my shot... or, more accurately, 500,000 shots at high shutter speed, waiting for the wind to take a break.
Does anyone else’s neighbors completely ignore the strange things you do for photography? Mine do. They’ve seen it all by now. Probably the weirdest thing I’ve done was hauling a chair up a ladder onto the roof of our three-story house for some shots, but that’s a story for another day.
Anyway, if you squint at this feather, do you see a bird? A big red eye with a blue pupil, a beak, and a crest? Or maybe that’s just the Sunday evening relaxing red wine talking. Cheers! 🍷
The body shape is there and the feather groupings are roughed in. There is a lot of finer work to do there.
Long billed birds are typically carved in three pieces: body, head/neck, and bill.
The body and head were carved out of Tupelo Wood after the profiles were cut with a band saw. Tupelo is light, very fine grained, and ideal for working with micro motor tools for shaping. The bill piece was cut out from Australian Leopard Wood. It is a straight grained, very dense and tough wood which makes it ideal for the most fragile part of the carving.
It is a difficult wood to work with using knives or power tools with bits. It will be shaped with a power sanding tool. The mandibles will be separated with a wood burner. it will be permanently attached to the head.once the body is complete. The next steps will be painting and creating a base.
When you wake up to a scene like this, its hard not to have lots of energy. This little lake adjoins the Two Medicine Lake on the eastern edge of Glacier National park in MT.
Autumn Moon Rising, Mono Lake. © Copyright 2021 G Dan Mitchell – all rights reserved.
A full autumn moon rises above Mono Lake at dusk.
There are still a few more photographs in this series of autumn evening images from Mono Lake that I made a few years ago. These come from that pandemic photographic genre that we might call “photographs that would have been lost forever if forced isolation had not given me a great reason to look through my old files.” (Maybe you have a shorter title?) I know I’m not the only one dong this. Travel has, of course, been complicated for a year and a half. I’ve been out, and I’ve even been to Mono Lake during this interval, but the opportunities seem greatly diminished. But there are tens of thousands of raw files in my archives, and it has been productive to spend time going back through them and discovering things I had left behind. (How that happens would be a great subject for a long post sometime.)
On this autumn evening I timed by arrival at Mono Lake for right around sunset. I knew that the full moon would rise over those distant mountains east of Mono Basin, and I expected that the moon world rise while there was still some light in the sky. This is ideal in many ways, since the remaining ambient light is often colorful, it illuminates landscape details, and it reduces the contrast between the bright moon and the darker scene. In several of the photographs —working very quickly! — I used a much longer focal length to enlarge the moon. But for this one I backed off and included much more of the surrounding landscape and the lake.

Early morning at Idaho's Stanley Lake, with Mt. McGown seen twice.
Fresh cup of coffee, Theodore at my feet, beautiful bird chorus serenading us and no one else up and about. Ideal morning reflections on life and the many blessings of Nature.
Your visits are sincerely appreciated.
“Perlan – the Pearl – is an immersive museum that showcases Iceland’s extraordinary landscapes and nature in an accessible and engaging way. Its impressive hands-on, interactive exhibits and shows explain the country’s landforms, geology and wildlife. State-of-the-art technology elevates Perlan from an ordinary museum to one that guests will find innovative and memorable.
Alongside a fascinating display that focuses on the characteristics of Iceland’s changing glaciers, visitors can step into a hundred-metre-long artificial ice cave. An estimated 350 tons of snow gathered from Icelandic mountains were used in its construction. In graphic contrast, the museum’s Forces of Nature exhibit addresses the country’s volcanic systems and geothermal activity.
Styrmir, the museum’s spectacular indoor geyser, shoots a jet of water 25 metres into the air through the central atrium.
In Perlan’s domed 150-seat planetarium, the spotlight turns to the Aurora Borealis. Utilising 8K projection and 7.1 surround sound, the breathtaking Áróra show takes guests on a spellbinding journey through the origins and legends associated with the Northern Lights, bringing it vividly – and reliably – to life.
Perlan’s striking architecture adds an extra dimension to a visit. Located on Öskjuhlíð, the tallest hill in Reykjavik, it’s an easily recognised landmark, comprising six water tanks that support a glass dome which floods the interior with light. The museum’s wraparound observation deck offers an uninterrupted 360° panorama of the Icelandic capital and its surroundings.
Perlan represents Iceland in a nutshell. As such, it makes an ideal first or last stop on every tourist’s itinerary, whether they plan to venture beyond Reykjavik or choose to remain in the capital.”

A great view from the top of Pen y Fan in the Brecon Beacons of an imminent snow shower approaching. The beautiful lines and curves of these ridges makes up for any lack of rocky cliffs. I love the wintry feel of this one, and the Ideal Height by Biffy Clyro is perfect as in the hills the ideal height is at the top looking down.
