Coral Pink Sand Dunes State Park is off the beaten path but worth the side trip. This state park is located between Mount Carmel Jct. and Kanab, Utah.
The pink sand is courtest of Navavjo Sandstone from the middle Jurassic geologic period. The same iron oxides and minerals that created the red rock country also contribute to this coral sand color.
If you hit the Coral Pink Sand Dunes at the right time of year, you can see where snow has accumulated and melted to create ponds of water upon the sand.
I took this photo from the footbridge across the San Joaquin River looking downstream. The reflection of the sky and clouds on the water make a captivating contrast against the rocky banks of the river. This is a gorge-ious scene.
Stunning view of the crystal-clear turquoise waters by Porto Timoni beach, a double beach on the island of Corfu, Ionian Islands, Greece. The beach is accessible via a ~20-30 minute hike from Afionas village or by boat.

Mt. Kunyit is an active volcano in the Kerinci Seblat National Park, Sumatra, Indonesia. The trek to the crater takes about six hours, and passes through beautiful cloud forests and beside fumrole volcanic vents. In the middle of the crater lies a bubbling hotspring, and what locals call "Taman Dewa" or "The Garden of the Gods." It has a spiritual, mythical place in local folklore, and is the site where local hero Depati Parbo meditated to supposedly gain invulnerability to Dutch bullets during the war for Kerinci.

The festivities surrounding a Kenduri Sko festival in the village of Koto Renah, Kerinci, Sumatra, Indonesia. Close to midnight, villagers in the community of Koto Renah, Sungai Penuh, Kerinci gather to perform a dance in honor of their ancestors. During the dance, commonly performed throughout Kerinci during Kenduri Sko events, possession by ancestral spirits is common (sometimes taking the form of an ancestral tiger). On this night, cycles of dancing, singing, possession, and exorcism by the local "dukun" or shaman continued until 4 am.

Overnight camp out in Chiselbury Camp, an Iron Age hill fort on the top of Fovant Down, famous for it's Great War camp badges carved in the chalk of its slopes. A 40+ mile ride from home in Southampton, up to Salisbury via Romsey and the National Cycle Network Route 24, then to Salisbury Racecourse where I picked up the old cattle drove that goes all the way to Shaftesbury.
Dusk falling meant I overshot my destination in the poor light! I rode another mile or two to Ansty before realising my mistake, and had to backtrack, so by the time I reached the old fort I had missed the sunset there and it was properly dark.
The sunrise made up for that though. Up at 5.30 and a short walk to the chalk cap badges while I brewed up some tea.
Back on the road shortly after, keen to get back before the midday heat.
This one I am certain is the main house. The Hohenberger's spent 73 days on an ocean voyage, leaving Germany in 1855, arriving November 20, 1855.
They settled in Luckenbach, Texas, approximately 10 mi. N.E. of this location. They purchased and resettled to this location 1871.
Hohenberger was engaged in farming, but was also a freight driver, traveling between San Antonio, Texas and Indianola, Texas on the Gulf Coast.
