The Pendung Semurup waterfalls, approximately 15-20 meters in height, can be found on the eastern hills near the town of Semurup, and are reached after an easy, roughly one hour hike through relatively flat farmland and agroforest. Be prepared to get your feet wet wading through a few mountain streams on your way there! See more detailed descriptions here: www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.599289883456558.1073741...

I like abandoned school because the pastel painted walls, the cool drininking fountains, the bathrooms where places were delightfully deranged, the smily face gold stars everywhere, and the gum under the formica coated desk tops. But when schools are abandoned you can hear the laughter in the halls but its only a ghost. You can smell the pecil dust falling from the sharpener but its only decay. School is out for the summer but come fall no one returns. Bells no longer ring and children no longer sing, but the voices are forver cemented in every footstep and finger print
As California's drought worsens and fines increase, I see these easily-accessed water supplies open to water theft.

As 'we' (including my guide :P) walked, it got darker and darker, and vegetation thicker and thicker. It was real off the beaten path experience... Add the chirping sounds of many species of birds, buzz of insects, whispers of leaves swinging in the sweet breeze of the morning, the 'ouch' sounds generated by me as I crawled under branches and was poked by the thorns...

Granny old bones house...My grandpa and grandma raised 6 kids in this house (its the size of my 2 car garage). Grandpa build it by hand, (the outside walls still smelled like pondesrosa and pitch) Everyone would get drunk and fight but we believed "if you can not forgive your brother then you will not be forgiven" so we made up the next day. No one judge us..because you will not be judge, thats what they said in Sunday school (?Right?)
My grandfather built my house, so why is the bank forclosing on it. If you build a house you own it?
Dalton Highway is also known as Haul Road. As we travel along this highway, we always see the trucks traveling along the same road, be it in direction of Fairbanks or Prudhoe Bay.

Sawyer Glacier is a tidewater glacier in Tracy Arm Fjord, a remote wilderness area in Southeastern Alaska. Glacial ice is blue because the red (long wavelengths) part of white light is absorbed by the ice and the blue (short wavelengths) light is transmitted and scattered.

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.

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.
