Seen on Christine Lake Hike in the Miette River valley, Jasper National Park, Alberta, Canada
The hillsides and valleys of Jasper are a sickly shade of copper red and orange, covered with stands of trees killed by the mountain pine beetle. Mountain pine beetle has always existed in Western Canada, but its appearance in the national park has been sudden to a casual observer like me.
In recent years, with populations of the bark-devouring insect fuelled by hot, dry summers, and unseasonably mild winters, the insect infestation has escalated and brought down more than 16 million hectares of forest!
Essentially pine beetle outbreaks are one of nature’s built-in mechanisms for climate change adaptation in natural forests. I believe this picture one day will serve as a historic record of the changing landscape.
Bueno,pues ya estoy de vuelta despues de alguna aventura con la nieve,volvemos a las fotos.
Saludos a todos.
Well, so then already I am of return after some adventure with the snow, we return to the photos.
Regards to all.
No signs of any colonist. The outpost is covered with some sort of alien goo from an unidentified alien species.
Not a welcome sight. Periodic outbreaks of these, can lead to extensive defoliation of trees. A messy sight and stressful to the forest.

Palafitic pier of Carrasqueira - Portugal
Next to the small fishing village of Carrasqueira, the popular ingenuity takes shape and with some creativity unveils a curious solution to solve the problem of access to boats during the low tide - the palafitic pier.
When the water turns into a mirror and silence descends on the river, walking through this place, unique in Europe, can become an unforgettable experience at sunset.

The Stutthof camp was founded by the Germans at the outbreak of World War II, on September 2, 1939 and on January 7, 1942, it was granted the status of a "state concentration camp".
In the first phase of existence, the Stutthof camp was to play a special role in the liquidation of the Polish and Jewish population in Pomerania. The "action of cleansing" of the areas occupied by the Germans was covered, apart from Poles and Jews, also mentally ill.
The first transport of prisoners numbered about 150 people. They were selected from Poles arrested on September 1 in Gdansk and local Jews.
From 1942, transports of prisoners from various regions of Poland and other occupied European countries as well as from other concentration camps began to arrive at the Stutthof concentration camp.
From mid-1944, a gas chamber was started to increase the number of prisoners. The action of direct extermination covered mainly Jewish women, who were selected from transports due to poor health.
The number of prisoners is estimated at around 110-127 thousand people from 28 countries, including 49 thousand women and children. It is estimated that around 65,000 victims were killed in the camp.

Obóz Stutthof założony został przez Niemców w chwili wybuchu II wojny światowej, 2 września 1939 a 7 stycznia 1942 dostał status „państwowego obozu koncentracyjnego”.
W pierwszej fazie istnienia, obóz Stutthof miał odegrać szczególną rolę w likwidacji ludności polskiej i żydowskiej na terenie Pomorza Gdańskiego. „Akcją oczyszczania” terenów zajętych przez Niemców objęto oprócz Polaków i Żydów również chorych psychicznie.
Pierwszy transport więźniów liczył około 150 osób. Zostali oni wyselekcjonowani z aresztowanych w dniu 1 września na terenie Gdańska Polaków i miejscowych Żydów.
Od 1942 r. do obozu koncentracyjnego Stutthof zaczęły nadchodzić transporty więźniów z różnych regionów Polski i innych okupowanych krajów europejskich oraz z innych obozów koncentracyjnych.
Od połowy 1944 r. w celu zwiększenia uśmiercania więźniów zaczęto stosować komorę gazową. Akcją bezpośredniej zagłady objęto głównie Żydówki, które wyselekcjonowano z transportów ze względu na zły stan zdrowia.
Liczbę więźniów ocenia się na około 110-127 tysięcy osób pochodzących z 28 krajów, w tym 49 tysięcy kobiet i dzieci. Ocenia się że w obozie uśmiercono około 65000 ofiar.

Pretty rare to have no cars in the lot at Crown Point an hour before sunset on a spring evening. Probably the only reason I stopped... that and the clouds.
