Playing hide and seek in Goblin Valley State Park, Utah. For scale, notice the people on the right side.

Named in honour of Lawrence’s book, this large rock formation, with seven fluted turrets, is easy to see from the road near the Wadi Rum visitor centre. If you fancy a closer look, a rewarding hike circumnavigates the mountain via Makharas Canyon.
Wadi Rum, a desert valley in Jordan, has played the part of Mars and distant planets in countless movies, including "The Martian," "Star Wars: Rogue One," "Prometheus," and Red Planet."
This pretty garter snake which is not poisonous, usually sticks her tongue out at me and quickly disappears into the bushes.

officially the Motlatse Canyon is a significant natural feature of South Africa, located in Mpumalanga, and forming the northern part of the Drakensberg escarpment.
Located in the Blyde River Canyon Nature Reserve, it is 25 kilometres (16 mi) in length and is, on average, around 750 metres (2,461 ft) deep.
The Blyderivierpoort Dam, when full, is at an altitude of 665 metres (2,182 ft). The canyon consists mostly of red sandstone.
The highest point of the canyon, Mariepskop, is 1,944 metres (6,378 ft) above sea level, whilst its lowest point where the river leaves the canyon is slightly less than 561 metres (1,841 ft) above sea level.
This means that by some measure the canyon is 1,383 metres (4,537 ft) deep.

I walked through this valley and it didn't take me that long with being for the most part a relatively flat hike except for the last hundred yards or so back to the parking lot. If you look towards the bottom of the picture and magnify you can catch a couple of people walking across to get a proper sense of scale.
L’habitat naturale è rappresentato da boschi e campagne non troppo aperte. Ha volo e portamento simile al Fringuello.
E’ specie gregaria al di fuori del periodo riproduttivo in cui appare fortemente territoriale. Specie monogama e la stagione degli amori va da maggio a luglio.
Nel nido, costruito su alberi ad altezze che variano da 3 a 5 metri, vengono deposte da 6 a 7 uova che vengono incubate per circa 14 gg. dalla femmina.
I pulcini vengono accuditi da entrambi i genitori e lasciano il nidi dopo 11-12 gg. L’alimentazione è prevalentemente vegetale: frutti,semi,bacche.

This was in the church yard in Westerdale. The sun came out and illuminated the greenery, around this path, leading to graves and church building. With the light and the snow, I couldn’t let the chance to capture this scene slip me by.
On Monte Baldo, no view of lake Garda due to the clouds, but the clouds have thein own charm. It is nice to see them rolling over the mountain and the landscape is constantly changing.
El macho de colirrojo tizón es totalmente negro en verano con el rojo de la cola y una zona blanca en las alas. Pero en invierno, la parte superior se aclara y se hace grisácea, como se puede apreciar en la parte superior de la cabeza y cuello en el de la foto.
La hembra es de un discreto color pardo, con la mancha roja en la cola.
Este nombre lo aprendí en los libros, en mi pueblo tenía el nombre de "carbonera".
Gracias por vuestras visitas y comentarios.
feliz semana.
One of the beautiful attractions of the Black Desert is Pyramid Mountain, a relief form that shoot up from the ground much like a pyramids out of the desert. The mountain has symmetrical sides and a pointed peak.
This natural pyramid is just a few kilometers away from Bahariya Oasis. Locals call it Magic Mountain because of the way the light plays on the texture and material of the mountain during the different hours of the day. The golden colour of this rock is very attractive, especially in the later afternoon sun.
