January 27, 2020 - Iguassu Falls located on the Argentine side of the Iguassu River. We are on the Brazil side in Iguaçu National Park. It is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and the waterfalls are one of the new Seven Wonders of Nature (2011).
wanted to explore the relationship between light and dark through my camera.
i like this shot because "light" and "dark" have brought out the texture of the tree trunk.
A pipe was held in place in this hole cut in the trunk of bluegum tree. It helped hold up a truck crate. It was very red when first removed, but has faded to this dead wood colour.

75 km from Spain’s capital city, in the municipality of San Martín de Valdeiglesias, is this original botanical garden with more than 500 plant species from all over the world, where you can also enjoy more than three hundred living sculptures made with shrubs in different sizes and with different themes by European topiary artists.
The garden also has a maze, different collections of cacti, bonsai, aromatic plants, minerals, a stream that tumbles into the Barbellido waterfall, fountains, light displays at night... All in the beautiful natural environment of Madrid’s Sierra Oeste.
The Bosque Encantado has free parking, toilets, drinks vending machines, and a bar with several terraces where you can enjoy something to eat and drink, open mainly on weekends throughout spring and summer.
The best way to get there is by car via the M 501 motorway, known as Autovía de los Pantanos, which takes you through beautiful landscapes along the way. Once you reach San Martín itself, the dirt road to the forest is between the two roundabouts on its small ring road, in front of a Romanesque chapel, so you don’t need to drive into the village itself. You can also take the bus. The number 551 leaves from Príncipe Pío station and will take you to San Martín. Once in the village, you can walk the kilometre to the forest or get a taxi.
FOREST ILLUMINATIONS
In summer, nights in the Bosque Encantado or Enchanted Forest are lit up with millions of colourful lights that make its 320 topiary sculptures twinkle. You can enjoy this nocturnal magic every Friday, Saturday and Sunday from 10pm to 12:30am:
This is the view of the far bank towards the end of 'The Quees Walk', first shown to me by Bill and now passed on to my brother. He will be back also.
