Changi Beach, Singapore, just before sunrise.
Technical note: This is not a tone-mapped HDR. Digital blending composed of 4 exposures. And of course a little bit of selective color manipulation here!

Bognanco. Italy
The wild high valley of Rio Bognanco, along the trail to Pontimia pass. The snow covered mountains at the horizon are the summits of the range of Pizzo Montalto, 2.704m(8,890ft).
This shot has been taken at an elevation of about 2.200m (7,300ft).
This is near the border with Switzerland, an old trail used by smugglers for more than one hundred years. I walked almost three hours to get here. I met no other human being, just a chamois, a couple of marmots, the rain and, last but not the least, some rays of sun.
I liked the original jpeg, but I loved this shot, so I spent a few minutes in the free version of CaptureOne for Sony cameras, and edited the raw image. Just added a bit of local contrast and pushed up the right of the histogram; for the rest it is the standard conversion style of the software, that is very neutral.

Ponga, Asturias, España.
Ponga es un concejo o municipio español de la comunidad autónoma del Principado de Asturias localizado en el sureste de la región, en el límite con la provincia de León. Limita al norte con el concejo de Parres; al noroeste, con el de Piloña; al este, con el Amieva; y al oeste, con el de Caso; y, al sur, con los municipios leoneses de Burón y Maraña y al sureste con el de Oseja de Sajambre.
Tiene una extensión de 205,98 km² y está muy poco poblado —628 habitantes en 2020—, siendo sus principales núcleos de población su capital, San Juan de Beleño, y Sobrefoz. La carretera nacional N-625 y las regionales AS-261 y AS-339, son los principales accesos rodados al concejo.
Mediante ley 4/2003 del Principado de Asturias, se estableció el parque natural de Ponga, el cuarto de la región, que comprende casi la totalidad del concejo (205,33 km²).
El concejo de Ponga se caracteriza por un relieve muy abrupto, en pleno macizo cantábrico, en el que se combina la alta y media montaña, de grandes pendientes, y los valles fluviales. El terreno pertenece casi en su totalidad al primario, predominando en la parte suroriental la caliza carbonífera y en el resto del concejo la alternancia de pizarrilla con fajas de cuarcita dura y áspera además de la caliza. La gran variedad estratigráfica muestra una superficie primitiva que ha sido fracturada por las fuerzas plutónicas originando altas montañas y cordales mostrando unos espectaculares paisajes naturales.
Ponga is a Spanish council or municipality in the autonomous community of the Principality of Asturias located in the southeast of the region, on the border with the province of León. It limits to the north with the council of Parres; to the northwest, with that of Piloña; to the east, with the Amieva; and to the west, with that of Caso; and, to the south, with the Leonese municipalities of Burón and Maraña and to the southeast with Oseja de Sajambre.
It has an area of 205.98 km² and is very sparsely populated —628 inhabitants in 2020—, its main population centers being its capital, San Juan de Beleño, and Sobrefoz. The national highway N-625 and the regional highways AS-261 and AS-339 are the main road accesses to the council.
By law 4/2003 of the Principality of Asturias, the Ponga natural park was established, the fourth in the region, which includes almost the entire council (205.33 km²).
The council of Ponga is characterized by a very abrupt relief, in the heart of the Cantabrian massif, which combines high and medium mountains, with large slopes, and river valleys. The terrain belongs almost entirely to the primary, with carboniferous limestone predominating in the southeastern part and in the rest of the council the alternation of slate with strips of hard and rough quartzite in addition to the limestone. The great stratigraphic variety shows a primitive surface that has been fractured by plutonic forces, creating high mountains and mountain ranges showing spectacular natural landscapes.
This desert spiny lizard caught many people's attention at the Phoenix Desert Botanical Garden. To guess, I'd say he was about 10 inches (~25cm) from nose to tip of tail. Noticeable. I love the colors some of them get on the belly.
The return leg of our day hike in Devil's Garden is more rugged and less populated than the "formal" trail. One must scramble up smooth sandstone walls, over logs, through deep sand and narrow places. This route offers a lot of variety for exploring and photography. I have hiked this trail from both directions and each has its merit. Do it, if you get the chance!

SLOWLY TO MAKE COMMENTS MY FRIEND!! SORRY!!!!II ´M BUSY
I spent about 12 hours on the road, in total, going to two different locations on the Quirinthe peninsula with three different drivers. The drivers varied in their willingness to stop for pictures, unfortunately. Some of the time I was forced to take very "quick" pictures. I did see a good deal of the countryside and the very primitive living conditions of the Macua people.
Homes are mud huts with thatched roofs. Usually there is no electricity and certainly no running water. Merely existing takes up a good deal of the day. The roads were remarkably good, but I saw few vehicles. The locals see very few travellers so to the children of the area I was their mystery for the day.
Four-spotted Chaser.
Dragonflies have existed for over 300 million years, predating the dinosaurs and evolving from giant prehistoric relatives.
Odd composition for me since it was shot without moving the tripod. Misty morning in Yellowstone NP with bison in the foreground but in the wrong place. So I moved them😊
Photographed the Arrestra (Primitive Mill) at the Porcupine Historical Park located in the Town of Porcupine in the Township of Whitney in the City of Timmins in Northeastern Ontario Canada
This Arrestra was found near the old Buffalo-Ankerite Mine site and moved to the park in the 1950's.
An arrastra (or arastra) is a primitive mill for grinding and pulverizing (typically) gold or silver ore. Its simplest form is two or more flat-bottomed drag stones placed in a circular pit paved with flat stones, and connected to a center post by a long arm. With a horse, mule or human providing power at the other end of the arm, the stones were dragged slowly around in a circle, crushing the ore. Some arrastras were powered by a water wheel; a few were powered by steam or gasoline engines, and even electricity

The Primitive Methodist Chapel in the tiny Herefordshire hamlet of Almeley Wootton opened in 1870; since 1858 its congregation had met at the Quaker Meeting House a few hundred metres away.
In 2012, plans were submitted to turn this into a private dwelling. I cannot find its date of closure as a place of worship.
