Esta es una imagen de la Garganta del Diablo. El salto más importante de las Cataratas del Iguazú.
Es el actor principal del espectáculo.
La parte izquierda corresponde al Brasil. Y la derecha a Argentina.
Tiene un ancho de 150 metros y una caída de 80 metros.
Para completar esta imagen, he tenido que emplear varias fotos consecutivas obtenidas desde el mirador del lado Argentino.
En la ocasión, dos días después de la foto que realicé del lado Brasilero y que presenté la semana anterior, el clima era adecuado en mi opinión, para las fotos.
Es que lloviznaba persistentemente, y sin la presencia del Sol, el color del agua pura se veía “verde pastel”.
Demás está contarles que, frente a La Garganta del Diablo los corazones apuran su paso.
Es un espectáculo indescriptible. Un ruido infernal. Un movimiento interminable producido por la caída de varios millones de litros de agua por segundo.
Y por la bruma en suspensión que genera el salto, te pegas una mojadura de aquellas, que como decimos por aquí, no se empardan.
Desde la Estación del Trencito del Parque Nacional Iguazú, hay que recorrer unos 1.000 metros caminando en unas pasarelas o puente peatonal (muy seguras, amplias y cómodas por cierto) sobre la extensión del Río Iguazú en su cauce superior. El panorama es inigualable y la compañía de las mariposas en el camino es una caricia al alma.
Luego del recorrido se alcanza el balcón de observación ubicado a unos 100 metros frente al salto mismo.
Que es la vista que estamos observando donde el río parece venirse encima.
Y que espero les guste a Ustedes. A mi me hipnotiza.
También existen otros dos tipos de visitas a las Cataratas desde el lado Argentino. El Circuito Superior y el Circuito Inferior. Pero de eso, si no se aburren, lo veremos más adelante.
Muchas gracias por sus comentarios. Muchas gracias por sus visitas.
Muchas gracias por todo.

Persistent roots of a cedar (I believe) tree growing beside the Gooseberry River in Gooseberry Falls State Park.
The park is located in Castle Danger, north of Two Harbors, Minnesota.
“People like us, who believe in physics, know that the distinction between past, present and future is only a stubbornly persistent illusion.” – Albert Einstein.
Consistency, persistency, and hope will help you navigate those dark clouds of doubt and tribulation. They will help keep you in flight through your storms.
This image is on the cover of the second installment of the "Blue Daunia" series now available on Kindle on Amazon. The paperback version will follow in a few days. Enjoy!
Our persistent marine layer has deposited dew drops on this lovely decorative dahlia, making it even more beautiful. It is growing in a pot just outside the dining room window.
Happy Wednesday! Take care and stay safe.
Thanks for stopping by and for all of your support -- I deeply appreciate it.

This hungry squirrel in my garden, didn't get the memo that the cone was there to prevent it from getting to the bird seed, not to use it as a comfy seat while having a feast, making a mess lol!
Best viewed large.
Happy new week my friends =)
Contrails (short for condensation trails) or vapor trails are line-shaped clouds produced by aircraft engine exhaust or changes in air pressure, typically at aircraft cruising altitudes several miles above the Earth's surface. Contrails are composed primarily of water, in the form of ice crystals. The combination of water vapor in aircraft engine exhaust and the low ambient temperatures that exist at high altitudes allows the formation of the trails. Impurities in the engine exhaust from the fuel, including sulfur compounds (0.05% by weight in jet fuel) provide some of the particles that can serve as sites for water droplet growth in the exhaust and, if water droplets form, they might freeze to form ice particles that compose a contrail. Their formation can also be triggered by changes in air pressure in wingtip vortices or in the air over the entire wing surface. Contrails, and other clouds directly resulting from human activity, are collectively named homogenitus.
Depending on the temperature and humidity at the altitude the contrails form, they may be visible for only a few seconds or minutes, or may persist for hours and spread to be several miles wide, eventually resembling natural cirrus or altocumulus clouds. Persistent contrails are of particular interest to scientists because they increase the cloudiness of the atmosphere. The resulting cloud forms are formally described as homomutatus, and may resemble cirrus, cirrocumulus, or cirrostratus, and are sometimes called cirrus aviaticus. Some persistent spreading contrails contribute to climate change. R_825
Golden Plover persistent and somewhat special whistling tones are very characteristic, and can be heard over long distances. Everyone who has walked in the mountains during the summer in Norway has probably become acquainted with the Golden Plover. At least they have heard the monotonous sound, if they have not seen the bird itself.
In Norway, Golden Plover is found almost all over the country in higher-lying areas. It is quite shy and it usually do not get closer than 20-30 meters.
Even though the Golden Plover is a wading bird, it is not often you see it out in the water in search of food. It is more associated with dry mountains moors, where it also nests. When it gets to cold in Norway, the Golden Plover migrate to Southern and Western Europe.

An oblique aerial view of the entrance/exit to Baragoot Lake, an estuarine lagoon on the NSW Far South Coast. The character of the connection with the sea is an expression of three variables: fresh water discharge from the land; wave power; and tidal forces. The entrance is usually closed at this site due to the dominance of the waves that readily construct a sandy barrier beach. However, after persistent and heavy rainfall, that barrier can be broached by freshwater outflow, with tidal currents then able to maintain an open channel until wave power becomes dominant again.
Persistent male Yellow-bellied Sapsucker returns to check his work.
Uncommon migrant. Note the faint yellow coloration on his breast.
Some trees seem attractive year after year to these critters. This particular tree located in my rear yard has hosted spring revisits for many years. Also, evidence exists to suggest the running sap also provides a food source to early spring butterflies (Mourning Cloak, Eastern Comma, etc) that do not sip nectar and early arrival hummingbirds.
A pair of firebugs (Pyrrhocoris apterus) copulating on a tree bark. Firebugs are well known for copulating for many hours, even whole week.
Para kowali bezskrzydłych (Pyrrhocoris apterus) kopulujących na korze drzewa. Kowale są poszechnie znane z trwających wiele godzin, a nawet cały tydzień, kopulacji.
And what a good one at that! CN W908 powered by BCOL 4609, the last active cowl unit on the roaster shoves CN 50936 South through the siding at Brechin to clear away about a weeks worth of persistent lake effect snow that buried a large portion of the Bala sub in about 4-5 feet of snow.
‘There is no spiritual life without persistent struggle and interior conflict. This conflict is all the more difficult to wage because it is hidden, mysterious, and sometimes almost impossible to understand. Every serious Christian is willing to make a few initial sacrifices. It is not hard to make a good start. But it is hard to continue, to carry on the work begun and to persevere in it through many years until the end. … We are not “converted” only once in our life but many times, and this endless series of large and small “conversions”, inner revolutions, leads finally to our transformation in Christ.’
-Thomas Merton, Life and Holiness p. 116
Persistent cirrus clouds have given southern Arizona beautiful fire skies at sunset and sunrise lately.
persistent internet issues keep plaguing my home. The Tech said it may continue until they can check out the whole neighborhood.
I might be on and off Flickr during this time.
I spotted this rainbow as I headed home from Baton Rouge last month. I kept watching it for the whole half hour driving time and couldn't find a good spot to pull over until I was a couple of miles from my house. Even after stopping and snapping a few, I could still see it through the trees at my house.
But that's not the important thing. The important thing is that this shot has a fence in it for Happy Fence Friday... :)
This late day storm traveled over 100 miles from northwest of me over a 3 hour period and still had some punch left. Luckily, it passed south of me.
This praying mantis has lost half of it’s right arm and his left wing, and is keeping in it’s effort to survive.
Ephesians 6:10-12
New International Version
The Armor of God
10 Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. 11 Put on the full armor of God, so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes. 12 For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.

Persistent poor weather/light and uncooperative wildlife are combining to make an unhappy photographer. So another dip into images from Yellowstone proved good for the morale !!
Sunlight catching this RAF Typhoon, heading heavenward, with afterburners on. Very noisy, very exciting!
The paint scheme is a tribute to that worn by RAF aircraft for the 1944 D-Day landings, the black and white stripes added to increase visibility and hopefully reduce 'friendly fire' incidents, which were considered the main threat to aircraft at the time.
I find it interesting how British fighter aircraft are often named after violent weather systems that are almost completely unknown here - eg Hurricane, Tornado, Tempest, Typhoon. I suppose a plane called 'Persistent Light Drizzle' is hardly going to strike fear into the hearts of an enemy....
