Went on a six day hike to the top of Roraima, which is the highest of the tepuys in Venezuela.
To the left, is Mata-wi, also known as Kukenán after the river that spawns from it. Mata-wi means something around the lines of "I want to die" or something like "if you climb me I'll kill you", according to the Pemones... it is also believed that the dead reside on the top of this tepuy. Roraima (right), on the other hand, is know as the mother of all waters, and its name stands for "the great blue-green".
On a more technical note, yes, I know I should have closed down the diaphragm... the light allowed it and it would have rendered the front grass sharper... oh well.
Alto Caparaó is known throughout the national territory for its natural beauty, and is one of the most beautiful regions in terms of ecotourism destinations for those who love and appreciate nature. A region of beautiful mountains that form a valley that surrounds the city, with an exuberant landscape, Alto Caparaó invites us to feel the fresh air, bathe in crystalline waters and fall in love with the climate and its natural beauties.

Poike, the oldest volcano:
The Poike volcano was the first piece of land that emerged from the sea and, together with subsequent volcanic eruptions, formed the present territory of Easter Island. Its somewhat remote and isolated location and its difficult access make Poike a little-visited place. However, this mysterious territory contains secret corners and ancient legends that invite to discover it calmly and to know better the past of the island.
Poike, the first volcano on the island:
The name of Poike, usually translated by “hill”, seems to come from the Rapanui expression “Po” (night); “ike” (break) which means “place where the night breaks” because it is the first place on the island that receives the first rays of the rising sun.
Indeed, the Poike is located at the eastern end of Easter Island, and is the oldest of the three main volcanoes on the island, next to the Rano Kau and the Ma’unga Terevaka, which originated their formation. It is estimated that this first eruptive center emerged from the sea about 3 million years ago creating the so-called Poike Peninsula, although its activity was maintained until about 300 thousand years ago. Originally this peninsula was an island but later it was joined to the main body of the island, by lava flows coming from the Terevaka and other nearby volcanic centers.
The Poike is now an inactive volcano with a fairly symmetrical cone shape. The main crater has a circular shape and by its resemblance to a halo of sun or moon was called Pua Katiki, although in another version its name would mean “hill that serves to monitor the cattle.” Unlike other craters, this is totally dry and measures around 150 meters in diameter and about 10 meters deep. Inside a small eucalyptus forest grows that crowns the summit like a leafy green plume visible from afar.
From Pua Katiki, where the Poike reaches a maximum height of 460 meters, a wide plain of gentle slope is observed. which covers an area of about 4.5 km from east to west and 3.5 km from north to south. This large area, almost exclusively covered by a type of grass called here hoi (Sporobolus indicus), ends abruptly on 100-meter-high coastal cliffs formed by the continuous erosion of the sea on the Poike peninsula.
_______________________________________________
For some unknown reason, during the period of construction of the large statues, considered the golden age of the island, it is believed that the inhabitants of the Poike peninsula remained separate from the others and hardly participated in the work of carving in the quarries of Rano Raraku.
One proof of its isolation is that only two of the statues found in the Poike are made of the lapilli tuff of the Rano Raraku, while the rest of the statues were made of the white trachyte coming from the Poike deposits.

21km northeast of Hanga Roa.
This species is endemic to Brazil, where it generally occurs from Minas Gerais south to Rio Grande do Sul, and it occurs in wooded areas of all types in the Atlantic Forest region, to at least 2,000 m. It regularly visits feeders in small numbers. Both sexes of this hummingbird are attractive and distinctive. Males are primarily clad in deep green, with a brilliant deep red throat patch, a small but obvious white postocular spot, browner wings, and a bright red tail, while females share the spot behind the eye and the tail color of the male, but are otherwise rich orange over the entire underparts and on the rump.
Wishing a Peaceful day on Earth!
Thanks a lot for your visits, comments, faves, invites, etc. Very much appreciated!

Escultura en el templo Harshat Mata en la histórica aldea de Abhaneri, India.
Junto al Chand Baori contemplaremos el templo de Harshad Mata, otro de los tesoros monumentales de Abhaneri. En el interior de este santuario hinduista apreciaremos un gran conjunto escultórico con diferentes escenas grabadas en piedra. Las representaciones litográficas suponen todo un libro de historia que nos ayudará a indagar en el pasado del templo, el cual sufrió una terrible invasión…

Justo frente al pozo, e integrado de hecho en su estructura escalonada, está el templo dedicado a la diosa Harshat, conocida popularmente como la “diosa de la alegría” y cuya estatua todavía permanece guardada en medio del templo, protegida por una espléndida barrera de hierro. Se trata de un ejemplo excepcional de la arquitectura medieval hindú y está compuesto por tres grandes terrazas escalonadas. Una vez al año, el templo acoge un festival al que acuden multitud de comerciantes y devotos desde todas las localidades adyacentes.
