A voice had an important message for me.
Damn, I did not listen properly.
Unknown Terrain. All different. But lovely.

The rough terrains of San Gabriel mountains captured as the plane descended, approaching Los Angeles.
After winter, I assume this carved bit of land will be a gateway for another river spur for the snow melt It lines up with the mountain gully and the river is not far from here.

Another very different location on the northern section of the Trans-Mongolian Railway. Geographically, this area features a unique mix of terrain… rivers, mountains, pine forests, and sand. At times it resembles the Gobi, while in other moments it feels more like an oasis ️
A “Grasshopper” 2TE25KM powered transit intermodal train runs along the foothills of the Erkhet Mountains and the Kharaa River basin, heading toward Salkhit Junction on a beautiful, sunny summer morning. Captured during the Summer Group Tour 2025 Our next Summer Tour is confirmed for 8–20 June 2026, featuring the northern Trans-Mongolian railscapes, including the Mongolia–Russia border zone.
Join us for long daylight, dramatic scenery, and active mainline operations across one of Mongolia’s most photogenic railway regions.

This atmospheric shot was taken yesterday morning. I loved the backlight on the grasses in the foreground.
Kratié (Cambodge) - A quelques kilomètres du centre de la plaisante ville de Kratié, en longeant le Mekong, on accède au village flottant. J’ai déjà eu l’occasion de dire que ce terme de « village flottant » est abusif ; uniquement destiné à attirer les touristes. En réalité le village est constitué maisons en bois, construite sur la terre ferme du rivage. Les cabanes flottantes qui sont hors-champ, ne sont destinées qu’à la pêche.
Les maisons, partiellement sur pilotis car accrochées à la colline, sont derrière moi, une dizaine de mètres plus haut. Je suis descendu dans le lit de la rivière à marée basse. Quand l’eau se retire, elle laisse place à une étendue boueuse qui sert de terrain de jeu aux enfants. Quelques minutes avant que je prenne cette photos, les gamins jouaient au football.
• Kratié (Cambodia) - A few kilometers from the center of the pleasant town of Kratié, along the Mekong, you reach the floating village. I have already had occasion to say that this term "floating village" was abusive; only intended to attract tourists. In reality the village is made up of wooden houses, built on the main land. The floating cabins that are off-field are only intended for fishing.
The houses, partially on stilts because they cling to the hill, are behind me, about ten meters higher. I went down to the river bed at low tide. When the water has receded, it gives way to a muddy expanse that serves as a playground for children. A few minutes before I took this photo, the kids were playing football.
There are several bizarre geological formations spreading over a mile or so (0.85 mile / 1.36 km) near the village Mikrovalto, Kozanē County, west Macedonia, Greece. It took the formations thousands of years to be created mainly by corrosion of the surrounding ground, according to geology experts. Every single formation resembles a chimney (colloquially aka “boucharí”), so the entire area or geological park has got the toponym “Bouchária” (plural form of the bouchari word).
The formations look like pillars or columns with a height of 7–20 ft (2-6 m) approximately. They consist of a mixture of sand and clay etc. adhered together by ferrous oxides and silicon dioxide. There are slates (or slabs of schist) capping the high pillars.
Within the same park there are also “nochtária,” looking like numerous confluent pyramids. The nochtaria lack schist caps, but otherwise their composition is the same as the Boucharia's.
Warning: The phallus-shaped Bouchtaria have long been associated with the occult and several superstitions discouraging the local inhabitants from approaching them at night; tradition has it that the formations are fairies' or even demons' quarters or dwellings! Please mind your steps whilst walking the well-worn path!
Les gouttelettes de la brume de rosée font apparaître la multitude de toiles d'araignées qui tapissent la prairie en ce matin d'automne sur les hauteurs de Saint-Flour.
Some parts of the terrain in Joshua Tree National Park have trees other than the famed Joshua Trees.
Happy Tree-mendous Tuesday!
The third day trek was tough...the glacial moraine land was fragile and gradient was steep...but never denied us of its majestic beauty.....taken ahead of Thar Udiyar campsite on way to Bankund bend....on trek to Amritganga valley in Garhwal Himalayas, India
The Utah Badlands make you feel like you are on a different planet. Until you look closely and see the squiggly lines, like someone dropped giant hair and then you realize those are the tracks made by ATV's. Both the miniscule nature of humans as well as the catastrophic impact they leave on the terrain depicted at the same time. For now lets ignore the negative, and focus on the positive light. Have a wonderful weekend.
Learning to navigate the unpredictable terrain of life is an essential skill to develop. We can't live a happy life if we are unwilling to pave the path that will lead to our personal fulfillment and destiny. Learning to sit comfortably in the seat of uncertainty is challenging, but equally rewarding, because discovery is what waits just underneath the surface of that uncertainty and that gives us the chance to become fearless explorers of our own lives.

Visiones gigantes jugosas delicias esplendorosos vientos fuertes tonos sonrojados miríadas alas sinuosas noches de verano,
spe gaudentes frigidissima est delicium flumina insula dulcis saporis species colorum addidit obumbratio,
אושר מוסיקלי קסם נשימה נונטיד תשוקות מרענן פרחים התעוררות נשמע ריח פלא,
красивые огни радужные складки бархатные ягоды радостные поэзии мечтающие восхитительная небесная природа,
εμπνέοντας ταξίδια λαμπερό ελευθερίες εκπληκτικό αποχρώσεις γαλάζιο μάτια ερωτικές απολαύσεις γοητεία εποχή φωτεινότητα βουνά,
التأثير العميق على سحر الرقص الحرام الغامض أغاني صامتة خرافية صلاة أسعد المشاعر العلوية المزاجية,
香りのよいアメジスト微笑みの時間空気の金色の大地曲げ谷明確な井戸きらめく快楽麗しの愛昼間の明るい.
