Located in Nitmiluk National Park in the Northern Territory of Australia, Katherine Gorge is a series of 13 deep gorges carved through ancient sandstone by the Katherine River.
At this time of the year Katherine Gorge waters are ideal for swimming and canoeing. Although there are freshwater crocodiles in the river (they nest along the banks), they're harmless as their jaws are not big or strong enough to take a human. I only saw one crocodile on this day and nobody went swimming.

It is located on the top of Mount Erice, in an absolutely privileged position.
In ancient times, Erice was known for its temple, the sacred thémenos, where the Phoenicians adored Astarte, the Greeks Aphrodite and the Romans Venus.
Mount Eryx served as a reference point for navigators of whom Venus soon became the protector.
At night, a large fire lit in the sacred area served as a lighthouse. The fame of Venus Ericina became such that a temple was also dedicated to her in Rome and her cult spread throughout the Mediterranean.
What remains today of the ancient fortress was the work of the Normans who seem to have reused, for its construction, the material coming from the reconstruction of the pagan temple.
In ancient times, the castle was enclosed by towers, advanced fortification works connected to each other by two crenellated curtains and above all by a drawbridge.
---------------------------------------------------------------
E' situato sulla sommità del monte Erice, in posizione assolutamente privilegiata.
Nell’antichità, Erice era nota per il suo tempio, il sacro thémenos, ove i Fenici adoravano Astarte, i Greci Afrodite ed i Romani Venere.
Il monte Eryx serviva da punto di riferimento per i navigatori dei quali Venere divenne ben presto la protettrice.
La notte, un grande fuoco acceso nell’area sacra fungeva da faro. La fama di Venere Ericina divenne tale che le venne dedicato un tempio anche a Roma ed il suo culto si diffuse in tutto il Mediterraneo.
Quello che resta oggi dell’antica fortezza fu opera dei Normanni che sembra avessero reimpiegato, per la sua costruzione, il materiale proveniente dal rifacimento del tempio pagano.
Anticamente il castello era recinto dalle torri, opere di fortificazione avanzata collegate fra loro da due cortine merlate e soprattutto da un ponte levatoio.

Stunning Glaciers
Located in the southern Andes and on the border between Argentina and Chile. The mountain is in between two national parks - Nahuel Huapi Park in the Argentine provinces of Río Negro and Neuquén and Vicente Pérez Rosales Park in the province of Llanquihue, Chile.
The mountain’s name comes from the Spanish word for thunder, a reference to the sound that the breaking ice glaciers make. It is 3,554 metres (11,660 feet) above sea level, towering over the surrounding Nahuel Huapi Park mountains. Mount Tronador has seven glaciers which are melting because of global warming.
Mount Tronador is Bariloche's highest mountain. Leaving from downtown, the famous National Route 40 took us south along the banks of lakes Gutiérrez and Mascardi until the intersection with Provincial Route 82.
Along the way there are stunning views of mounts Bonete and Cresta de Gallo, and we got visit one the shores of Mascardi lake. Turning right after leaving Villa Mascardi and followed a road surrounded by native forests. This area of breathtaking beauty is visited every year by mountaineers and fishing enthusiasts because it is home to the renowned Los Moscos lake and Manso river, which leads to Hess lake.
Once we reached Manso river (a river that flows from the top of Mount Tronador and changes colors along the way,) we stopped at Los Rápidos bridge to watch the trout in crystal-clear water. If you're lucky, you might also see a kingfisher, we did not.
The winding road goes up until the highest point. From there, we saw the higher valley of Manso river at its fullest, with its twisting course and green-colored water. We kept going, we reached Pampa Linda, a nice place with accommodation and food facilities. From there, we took the road to the base of the mountain where we found a cafeteria and enjoyed an incredible view of the other glaciers on Mount Tronador.
The ascent continues until the last viewpoint along the route, Ventisquero Negro, a glacier that comes down from Mount Tronador and stands out because of its dark color. On our way back we took a small detour that took us to the 30-meter (98 foot) Los Alerces waterfall.

Located in the block limited by V.A. O’ Connor, 12 de Octubre, Beschedt, Frey and Palacios.

The Lone Cypress Tree, located along the scenic 17-Mile Drive in Monterey and Carmel, is one of the most iconic landmarks on the California coast. This solitary cypress has withstood the test of time, weathering countless storms and braving the salty sea air for over 250 years.
The tree is believed to have sprouted sometime in the early 1770s, making it one of the oldest living things in the area. Its unique location on a rocky outcropping, overlooking the Pacific Ocean, has made it a popular subject for photographs, paintings, and even logos for the Pebble Beach Company.
The Lone Cypress Tree has become a symbol of resilience and perseverance, standing strong despite the challenges of its harsh environment. It has even survived attempts to remove it from its precarious perch. In the 1940s, the tree was propped up with cables to prevent it from falling into the ocean, and in the 1980s, a replacement tree was planted nearby in case the original finally succumbed to the elements.
But despite its fame and popularity, the Lone Cypress Tree is still a living thing that requires care and attention. In recent years, the tree has faced a number of health challenges, including the effects of climate change and invasive pests. The Pebble Beach Company has taken steps to protect and preserve the tree, including limiting public access to the area around it and implementing conservation measures.

Steens Mountain, located in southeastern Oregon, is the largest fault block mountain in the Great Basin. Eons ago, enormous pressure under the earth’s crust pushed up one side of an existing fault line, creating the jagged east face of Steens Mountain, which towers nearly a mile above the Alvord Desert below. On the west side, Steens Mountain slopes down more gradually. Over time, the western side was carved by glaciers that created the Big Indian, Little Blitzen, Kiger, and Wildhorse gorges. (Taken from Northwest Horse Trails)
The mountain was once known as a sacred place by Native Americans who lived on its slopes. Later, the area became known as Steen’s Mountain, named after the Army Cavalry Major, who defeated and removed the Native American population from the mountain during the Snake Indian Wars. Today, in recognition that no man can own such a place, the name dropped the ownership apostrophe and became Steens Mountain.
This shot was taken from the loop road at approximately 9500 feet. All that brilliant yellow you are seeing are Aspens stands. We took the Steens Mountain Road from French Glen up to Steens summit trailhead where you can find Wildhorse Lake.

Noudar Natural Park is located in a farm estate called Herdade da Coitadinha, between the rivers Ardila and Múrtega, in southern Alentejo (Portugal) .
The pastures surrounding the area, holm oak and olive groves, grazing cows and herds of black pigs are all common to neighbouring farms in this region. But here, a more abrupt and rocky relief has protected dense enclaves of holm oaks and forest where light penetrates with difficulty.
In Noudar, life presents itself in a state of wilderness and absolute purity.
Apart from its beauty, the place, being remote and exempt from any light pollution, is excellent for astrophotography (the best where I’ve ever been).
The Castle of Noudar dates from the early 14th century (finished in 1307), when it took an important role for border defense against the kingdom of Castile (now part of Spain).
