Italien / Trentino - Pala Gruppe
On the way to Rifugio Pradidali
Auf dem Weg zum Rifugio Pradidali
The Pala group (also known as Pale di San Martino) is the largest massif of the Dolomites, with about 240 km² of surface, located between eastern Trentino and Veneto (province of Belluno), in the area between Primiero (valleys of Cismon, Canali, Travignolo), Valle del Biois (Falcade, Canale d'Agordo) and Agordino.
In the central sector of the group, discovered by the Marquis Déodat Gratet de Dolomieu in 1788, consisting of dolomite, a sedimentary rock formed by double calcium carbonate and magnesium, extends the plateau, on an area of about 50 km², forming a huge empty space, rocky and almost lunar that fluctuates between 2500 and 2800 m above sea level.
The part of the group extended in Trentino is entirely included in the Paneveggio — Pale di San Martino Nature Park. According to some sources, the group inspired the Belluno writer Dino Buzzati (a great lover of the chain) in the setting of his novel "The Tartar Steppe". Due to the exceptional universal value of this natural beauty, the geological system of the Pale is included in the site "The Dolomites", declared in 2009 a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Die Palagruppe (italienisch Pale di San Martino oder Gruppo delle Pale) ist eine Dolomitengruppe im Grenzgebiet der italienischen Provinzen Belluno und Trient. Die Trentiner Teile der Gruppe gehören zum Parco Naturale Paneveggio – Pale di San Martino. Seit 2009 ist die Palagruppe Teil des UNESCO-Welterbes Dolomiten.
Lage
Die Palagruppe liegt zwischen den Tälern des Biois im Norden, des Cordevole im Osten und des Cismon im Südwesten (Primör), im Nordwesten liegt der Passo Rolle, im Norden der Vallespass und südöstlich der Passo Cereda.
Charakteristik
Die Palagruppe ist ein Klettergebiet mit bekannten Kletterbergen, die Gipfel reichen über die Dreitausendermarke. Schroffe Felsgipfel wie der Cimon della Pala kontrastieren mit der ausgedehnten Hochfläche des Altopiano delle Pale. Der Dolomiten-Höhenweg Nr. 2 durchquert die Pala von Nord nach Süd vom Vallespass zum Passo Cereda. Einige der bekanntesten Klettersteige der Dolomiten finden sich in der Pala, wie z. B. die Via Ferrata Bolver-Lugli oder die Via Ferrata Stella Alpina (Monte Agnèr). Der Ring um die Pala di San Martino umrundet die zentrale Pala vom Rif. Rosetta über den Passo di Ball zum Rif. Pradidali und zurück über den Passo Pradidali und den Altopiano delle Pale.
Von San Martino di Castrozza führt eine Seilbahn in zwei Sektionen auf die Schulter der Cima Rosetta. Der Ort ist auch als Wintersportort bekannt.

The minecart tracks terminate at the surface, where the Iron ore is offloaded off the minecarts and onto semi-trucks for transportation. The nearby command center makes sure shipments are on schedule and coordinates communication between miners. A cemetery remembers the brave miners who lost there lives for the greater good.

While we're out and about in our above-the-ground world, we often forget that there are other parts of this world that are often underappreciated and often undiscovered. In fact, we have yet to explore much of our own underwater world. As always, I spent most of a day appreciating and photographing this special grotto. Regardless of how many times you visit a special place, you just can't get enough of it. What may surprise you is how deafening this waterfall can be. Spending hours here, then going back to the surface was as if I had been teleported to a silent room full of trees.
This is located near the township of Batson, where the population density is only 7 people per square mile! Over one-third of the residents heat their homes with wood instead of electricity or gas. It's such a treat to still have townships like this to visit and spend time.

nle Lake is a freshwater lake located in the Nyaungshwe Township of Taunggyi District of Shan State, part of Shan Hills in Myanmar (Burma). It is the second largest lake in Myanmar with an estimated surface area of 44.9 square miles (116 km2), and one of the highest at an elevation of 2,900 feet (880 m). During the dry season, the average water depth is 7 feet (2.1 m), with the deepest point being 12 feet (3.7 m), but during the rainy season this can increase by 5 feet (1.5 m).
The watershed area for the lake lies to a large extent to the north and west of the lake. The lake drains through the Nam Pilu or Balu Chaung on its southern end. There is a hot spring on its northwestern shore.
Although the lake is not large, it contains a number of endemic species. Over twenty species of snails and nine species of fish are found nowhere else in the world. Some of these, like the silver-blue scaleless Sawbwa barb, the crossbanded dwarf danio, and the Lake Inle danio, are of minor commercial importance for the aquarium trade. It hosts approximately 20,000 brown and black head migratory seagulls in November, December and January.
In June 2015, it becomes the Myanmar's first designated place of World Network of Biosphere Reserves. It was one of 20 places added at at the Unesco's 27th Man and the Biosphere (MAB) International Coordinating Council (ICC) meeting.
The people of Inle Lake (called Intha), some 70,000 of them, live in four cities bordering the lake, in numerous small villages along the lake's shores, and on the lake itself. The entire lake area is in Nyaung Shwe township. The population consists predominantly of Intha, with a mix of other Shan, Taungyo, Pa-O (Taungthu), Danu, Kayah, Danaw and Bamar ethnicities. Most are devout Buddhists, and live in simple houses of wood and woven bamboo on stilts; they are largely self-sufficient farmers.
Most transportation on the lake is traditionally by small boats, or by somewhat larger boats fitted with single cylinder inboard diesel engines. Local fishermen are known for practicing a distinctive rowing style which involves standing at the stern on one leg and wrapping the other leg around the oar. This unique style evolved for the reason that the lake is covered by reeds and floating plants making it difficult to see above them while sitting. Standing provides the rower with a view beyond the reeds. However, the leg rowing style is only practiced by the men. Women row in the customary style, using the oar with their hands, sitting cross legged at the stern.
In addition to fishing, locals grow vegetables and fruit in large gardens that float on the surface of the lake. The floating garden beds are formed by extensive manual labor. The farmers gather up lake-bottom weeds from the deeper parts of the lake, bring them back in boats and make them into floating beds in their garden areas, anchored by bamboo poles. These gardens rise and fall with changes in the water level, and so are resistant to flooding. The constant availability of nutrient-laden water results in these gardens being incredibly fertile. Rice cultivation is also significant.
My sister from the deep
Calls me back to the listening place
Far below the surface
Of all the messages
Pinging through the skies
Invading bodies and minds
She calls me down down deep
Into the thickness of the water
Into the silence of the salty sea
Into the womb of life
Into the slow motion lightness
Into weightlessness and play
Here she reveals to me my freedom
The relationship between color and sound
The songs of my heart beating
The songs of my sight seeing possibilities
The songs of the bigger story
Which wait forgotten in buried thoughts
Here there are no countries and races
Here there are no borders and divisions
Here there are no us and they
Here is only the depth of the One Life
Here is only the vibration of everything
Rising in pure potential into endless shapes
My sister from the deep emits her whale song
Antara appears in my hands and we play
Together we let go of rigidity and fear
Together we imagine the liquid light
Creating a new story of abundance and joy
Nothing is ever fixed and finished
The songs keep creating new worlds….

A property of liquids such that their surfaces behave like a thin, elastic film. Surface tension is an effect of intermolecular attraction, in which molecules at or near the surface undergo a net attraction to the rest of the fluid, while molecules not near the surface are attracted to other molecules equally in all directions and undergo no net attraction. Because of surface tension, the surface of a liquid can support light objects (such as water beetles on the surface of a pond). Surface tension is responsible for the spherical shape of drops of liquid; spheres minimize the surface area of the drop and thus minimize surface tension.
So many things to photograph in the Kakadu National Park. Lotus flowers are large, light pink flowers with round, flat lily pad shaped leaves that float on the surface of the water. This photo was taken in one of the many billabongs that visitors can access.

A male great white shark (Carcharodon carcharias) just barely breaks the surface with his dorsal and caudal (tail) fins. A gull sits on the surface in the shark's path.
While I never saw any of the sharks make a concerted effort to attempt to grab a gull, their presence definitely seemed to pique the curiosity of a few of the sharks enough to get them to swim towards them a few times. The gulls had the sense to fly off when the sharks got close.
