It’s a long weekend this week so we spent a day in Khao Yai National Park. I met this group of birdwatchers shooting and filming ‘great hornbills’. Khao Yai, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is the oldest and one of the country’s largest parks which is located only a few hours drive from Bangkok or Pathum Thani. This park is home to some 300 or more migrants and residents species of birds. It is a large open grassland in the centre which offer great opportunities for observing birds that frequent the forest edge.
I had a chance to talk to one of the birdwatchers. He showed me the stunning photos taken from his massive telephoto lens which is common for wildlife birdwatchers. I think birdwatching is important as they provide huge amount of data to conservation researchers. Also, it provides an intimate connection between people and our natural environment which will lead to better protection of our wildlife.

Meteora (Greece) het andere Griekenland, een plek tussen Hemel en aarde en een indrukwekkende plek
Meteora (Grieks: Μετέωρα) zijn de op hoge rotspilaren gebouwde kloosters. Door eeuwenlange wind- en watererosie (ooit was de Thessalische vlakte een binnenzee) hebben de rotsformaties hun specifieke en moeilijk bedwingbare uiterlijk gekregen.

Meteora (Greece) another Greece, a place between heaven and earth and an impressive place
Meteora (Greek: Μετέωρα) are the monasteries built on high rock pillars. By centuries of wind and water erosion (once the Thessaly plain was an inland sea), the rock formations have their specific and difficult bedwingbare received appearance.

València, España.
Las Fallas de Valencia (Falles en valenciano) son unas fiestas que van del 14 (plantà infantil) al 19 (cremà) de marzo con una tradición arraigada en la ciudad española de Valencia. Oficialmente empiezan el último domingo de febrero con el acto de la crida (en valenciano; 'pregón o llamada', en español).
La fiesta de las Fallas de Valencia
Actualmente, esta festividad se ha convertido en un atractivo turístico muy importante, ya que además de estar catalogadas como fiesta de Interés Turístico Internacional, en noviembre de 2016 la Unesco las inscribió en su Lista Representativa del Patrimonio Cultural Inmaterial de la Humanidad. Estas fiestas también son llamadas fiestas josefinas o fiestas de San José, ya que se celebran en honor de san José, patrón de los carpinteros, que era un gremio muy extendido en la ciudad cuando empezaron a celebrarse a finales del siglo xix, y que conservó hasta la actualidad, dada la importancia de la industria del mueble en la región.
Una falla o monumento fallero es una obra artística, satírica y efímera generalmente de grandes dimensiones (entre tres y veinte metros de altura, aunque pueden ser mayores) con figuras llamadas ninots, las cuales rodean una o más figuras centrales (llamados remates) que se plantan en las calles durante la fiesta valenciana (España) de las Fallas. El monumento tiene generalmente un lema y está lleno de carteles con versos, frases y reclamos de carácter jocoso. El monumento se construye de materiales combustibles (cartón, madera, papel, telas, poliestireno expandido, etc.) para que, después de unos días de exposición en las calles, se pueda quemar completamente.
The Fallas of Valencia (Falles in Valencian) are festivals that go from the 14th (children's plant) to the 19th (cremà) of March with a tradition rooted in the Spanish city of Valencia. They officially begin on the last Sunday of February with the act of the crida (in Valencian; 'pregón or call', in Spanish).
Currently, this holiday has become a very important tourist attraction, since in addition to being classified as a festival of International Tourist Interest, in November 2016 UNESCO inscribed them on its Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity. These festivals are also called Josefin festivals or feasts of San José, since they are celebrated in honor of St. Joseph, patron saint of carpenters, who was a very widespread guild in the city when they began to be held at the end of the nineteenth century, and which has preserved until today, given the importance of the furniture industry in the region.
A falla, or Fallas monument, is an artistic, satirical, and ephemeral work of art, generally of large dimensions (between three and twenty meters high, although they can be larger) with figures called ninots surrounding one or more central figures (called remates) that are placed in the streets during the Valencian (Spain) Fallas festival. The monument generally has a motto and is covered with posters with verses, phrases, and humorous slogans. The monument is constructed of combustible materials (cardboard, wood, paper, fabric, expanded polystyrene, etc.) so that, after a few days of exposure in the streets, it can be completely burned.
The Greater Blue Mountains Area is a deeply incised sandstone tableland that encompasses a million hectares of eucalypt-dominated landscape, just inland from Sydney. This landscape supports an exceptional representation of the taxonomic, physiognomic and ecological diversity that eucalypts have developed: an outstanding illustration of the evolution of plant life. A number of rare and endemic plants, including relict flora such as the Wollemi pine, also occur here.
The geology and geomorphology of 300 metre cliffs, slot canyons and waterfalls, make this a special landscape with many outstandng qualities. The Undercliff Track is just one of many routes that allow access into this remarkable wilderness of outstanding beauty.
Ο Ναός του Αγίου Παντελεήμονος είναι παλαιό καθολικό βυζαντινής μονής της Θεσσαλονίκης και Μνημείο Παγκόσμιας Κληρονομιάς. Βρίσκεται στο κεντρικό τμήμα της πόλης, στη συνάντηση των οδών Εγνατία και Ιασωνίδου.
Ο ναός χρονολογείται στα τέλη 13ου - αρχές 14ου αιώνα και σύμφωνα με μια εκδοχή ταυτίζεται με τη Μονή της Θεοτόκου Περιβλέπτου, γνωστή και ως Μονή του κυρ Ισαάκ από το όνομα του ιδρυτή της
The UNESCO World Heritage Site of Sigiriya is truly unique not only for its remaining ruins, but also for its stunning location.
The palace ruins on the summit of Sigiriya rock consist of several massive brick walls and pools, which were carved into the solid rock, and the sheer drop-offs on any side of the summit offer panoramic views in all directions.
The entry to the summit leads through massive Lion's claws which are the remains of what was once a much larger structure. In ancient times, the stairway lead straight into the mouth of a lion, and the name Sigiriya, which literally means Lions Rock, stems from this impressive monument.

So, picture this: day three of the W Trail, and I'm chilling in French Valley. Boom! There it is – the French Glacier, hanging out on the west side of this gnarly mountain called Cerro Paine Grande. This beast is, like, 10,006 feet tall (3,050 meters, for all you metric folks). Crazy high!
Fast forward to today, day four, and guess what? I'm on the east side of that same mountain, feeling way closer than I probably should be. Those peaks look totally climbable, but trust me, they're not. These things are gonna be stalking me for the rest of the hike, I swear.
Speaking of stalking, turns out Cerro Paine Grande is the highest peak in Torres del Paine National Park, and apparently one of the biggest climbing bummers in Patagonia. It's got this giant glacier on top that's basically permanently hiding under a cloud blanket, and the wind never seems to take a vacation on that ice and rock monster.
On the bright side, the west side's got some pretty sweet hanging glaciers, and French Valley offers a front-row seat to a whole lot of epic avalanches (don't worry, I watched from a safe distance!). This whole mountain range is actually four separate peaks – Cumbre Principal (the main one, obvi), Punta Bariloche, Cima Central, and Cima Norte. You can see them all from the west and east sides of the park, but let's be honest, the views from here (east) are way more dramatic.
And speaking of dramatic views, the best spots to check out Paine Grande are the Pehoe Lake area and the Grey Lake/Grey Glacier area where I am now. Trust me, it's worth the hike!

The magnificent Roman Catholic Cathedral at Évora - one of the largest in Portugal, and constructed between 1280 and 1350 in the Roman-Gothic style.
A UNESCO World Heritage Site, it's located at the highest point of the city - just a short distance from the impressive remains of the Roman Temple of Diana.

The Longmen Grottoes (aka Longmen Caves) is a UNESCO–listed world heritage site which has thousands of statues of Buddha carved in caves excavated from its surrounding cliffs. Unfortunately, the site was subjected to significant vandalism and senseless destruction at several points in its history. Major artifacts were removed by Western collectors and souvenir hunters during the early 20th century and by the Japanese during the Second Sino-Japanese War. The heads of many statues were also destroyed during the Cultural Revolution.
The Chinese government has since recognized the cultural and tourist importance of the Longmen Grottoes and has been active engaged in the preservation and restoration of the site. For more information: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Longmen_Grottoes

The archaeological area of Agrigento, in Sicily, was included in 1997 in the UNESCO World Heritage List. The impressive Doric temples constitute one of the most important testaments to Greek culture and art, and they tell us about the thousand-year old history which began in the Sixth century B.C. with the founding of the ancient colony of Akragas.
