La mar ciñe a la noche en su regazo
y la noche a la mar; la luna, ausente;
se besan en los ojos y en la frente;
los besos dejan misterioso trazo.
Horas serenas del ocaso breve,
cuando la mar se abraza con el cielo
y se despierta el inmortal anhelo
que al fundirse la lumbre, lumbre bebe.
Como en concha sutil perla perdida,
lágrima de las olas gemebundas,
entre el cielo y la mar sobrecogida
el alma cuaja luces moribundas
y recoge en el lecho de su vida
el poso de sus penas más profundas.

Renown Travel: The Wat Suan Tan is a 14th century temple located in the town of Nan. The temple which is also known as “the temple of the sugar palm grove” comprises of two viharns, a large chedi, a Ho Trai or library building and a sala like structure housing a Buddha image.
The viharn enshrines the Wat Suan Tan’s principal Buddha image named Phra Chao Chong Thip. The bronze Sukhothai style image in the “Calling the Earth to witness” posture measuring 4.11 meters tall was cast in 1449 during the reign of Lanna King Tilokaraj. It is flanked by two smaller standing images of the Buddha.

A escasos cincuenta minutos de Madrid y sin posibilidad de perderse este pequeño municipio, de un estilo pastoril ganadero y con alguien al frente muy inteligente ha hecho de una cosa sencilla una maravilla. Se come estupendamente y si no pillas aparcamiento son 800 metros andando desde Patones de Abajo. El paseo por el pueblo es espectacular ...en cada casa un bar y sin trafico interior . El senderismo y los ciclistas tienen su paraíso. Estoy contento de haber ido .
En esta ocasión, la naturaleza puso ese soberbio ambiente, la fauna vendría después, a raudales. Una imagen del inicio de una jornada de safari en Botsuana.
Tomada en marcha desde el jeep en el que yo iba y buscando esta composición tan atractiva con el sol recién levantado. Muchas son para tirar, pero esta quedó bien.

Tian Tan Buddha, also known as the Big Buddha, is a large bronze statue of Buddha Shakyamuni, completed in 1993, and located at Ngong Ping, Lantau Island, in Hong Kong.
A tan-coloured coastal wolf cub, born in the spring, so around 4 months old, walking through the shore grass along a small tidal stream, NE Hecate Strait, BC. She also had a black sibling. Photo taken with a long lens by waiting quietly for hours for the wolves to appear (or not) so their natural behaviour was not affected.

This specialized tug is outfitted for tanker escort services, ship handling, firefighting, as well as, emergency, and spill response in Alaskan waters. I’m guessing it was down in Washington for maintenance. That or it winters in Puget Sound.
That is Hat Island in the background.

The San Tan Mountains near Queen Creek, Arizona, offer a classic Sonoran Desert escape right on the edge of the southeast Valley 🌵️✨
Protected within San Tan Mountain Regional Park (over 10,000 acres managed by Maricopa County Parks), this low-elevation range rises gently from about 1,400 ft to peaks around 2,500 ft, showcasing quintessential lower Sonoran beauty: dense forests of saguaro cacti, creosote flats, ocotillo, palo verde, and cholla, with dramatic rocky outcrops and panoramic views of the Superstition Mountains, Four Peaks, and the sprawling Phoenix metro to the north.
The park features a well-maintained network of multi-use trails perfect for hiking, mountain biking, and horseback riding—ranging from easy loops to moderate challenges. Standouts include:
San Tan Loop Trail (~7.4 miles, ~550 ft gain)—a scenic moderate loop winding through open desert, sandy washes, and mountain sides with ever-changing vistas.
Longer combos like the full park circuit (San Tan, Malpais, Dynamite, Goldmine, Littleleaf—up to 14 miles) for big-day explorers.
Shorter family-friendly options like Hedgehog or Moonlight trails for quick desert immersion.
Access is easy: From Queen Creek/Mesa, head south on Ellsworth Rd or Power Rd to Phillips Rd—park entrance at 6533 W. Phillips Rd. $7 vehicle fee (cash/card), open sunrise to sunset (hours vary seasonally). Restrooms, picnic areas, and a visitor center/nature center add convenience.
Pro tip: Go early to beat the heat (especially summer), bring plenty of water, and hit sunset for golden-hour glow on the saguaros and mountains—this hidden gem feels worlds away from the city yet it's just a short drive for East Valley folks!
