Steam rises from a water filled vent at Seltúnshverir on the Reykjanes Peninsula, Iceland. This thermal area lies just off the road to Krýsuvík at Seltún. This solfatara field contains fumaroles, hot springs, mud pools and steaming ground. Fumaroles are the dominate thermal feature and deposit sulfur and sulphates on the ground near the vents. Fumaroles whose steam is rich in sulpur are called solfataras. The main sulphur aree is a fumarole field that lies southwest of the boardwalk at Seltún but sulphur and sulphates are found in at least small amounts around most of the steam vents, mud pools and acidic hot springs. Yellow patches on the ground were visible to us as we strolled along the boardwalk.
Seltún is part of the large Krýsuvík Geothermal field which lies on one of the NE-SW trending volcanic systems that cross the Reykjanes Peninsula. in Iceland. The volcanic zones lie in the middle of the fissure zone on the Mid-Atlantic Ridge which traverses Iceland and are visible along the south of Reykjanes in the middle of the fissure zone on the Mid-Atlantic Ridge which traverses Iceland and is visible along the south of Reykjanes.
In the mid-20th century there were plans to develop the geothermal field for utilisation, including power production, and Seltún then became one of the main drilling targets. There are old drill pads to be seen near the path along the creek. According to the Iceland Geosurvey (ISOR) one of the "boreholes started erupting intermittently in the winter of 2010". They reported that an interval of a few days between the eruptions. We found the spot but on two different visits to the field I saw no sign of geyser activity. ISOR also reports "another old borehole blew up in 1999 forming a crater with a diameter of about 30 m, now filled by mud except where a flow of steam keeps boiling pits open". That unexpected explosion in 1999 reportly caused the geothermal project to be halted. The springs have been preserved due to the lack of drilling and geothermal exploitation.
Temperatures are over 200 degrees C just below the surface. Geologist from the Iceland Geosurvey believe "the water of the pools is surface water heated by steam from a boiling geothermal reservoir. Accompanying gases such as hydrogen sulphide and carbon dioxide acidify the water and alter the rock to clay. Only the uppermost 300 m of the reservoir at Seltún is boiling, i.e., follows the boiling curve in accordance with increasing pressure. Below this depth, a temperature inversion occurs, indicating that the boiling section is fed laterally from an upflow some distance away.”

Ti manderò un bacio
con il vento
e so che lo sentirai,
ti volterai senza vedermi,
ma io sarò lì.....
( Pablo Neruda )
Narcisi a Pian della Cavalla , Liguria
With the wind...
I will send you a kiss
with the wind
And I know you will feel it,
you will turn without seeing me,
but I will be there.....

Vent frais vent du matin
Vent qui souffle au sommet des grand pins
Joie du vent qui souffle allons dans le grand vent
Vent frais vent du matin...
......................................
Le chant "Vent frais, vent du matin" trouve ses racines dans le répertoire des chants traditionnels français. Il s'agit d'une chanson profane qui date du début du XXe siècle et dont on attribue souvent la création au mouvement scout.

We are blessed with having over 50 species of bird in and around our small garden. Over 100 species of butterfly also frequent our flowering plants and trees. It provides us with many hours of simple pleasure in watching nature enjoy the small oasis we have created over the past six years.

The Steely-vented Hummingbird is a medium-sized hummingbird that is a resident breeder from Colombia Venezuela, Nicaragua and Costa Rica. This hummingbird inhabits open woodland such as second growth, coffee plantations, gardens, savanna, and the edges and gaps of evergreen forests.

This Steely-vented Hummingbird (Saucerottia saucerottei) was photographed in flight at Birdwatch La Conchita, at Kilometer 18 near Cali, Valle del Cauca, Colombia, just outside the city. Its green plumage stands out against a softly blurred background, and the fast shutter held its feathers and the curve of its flight path in natural light filtering through the canopy. Adult females have some white on the throat and grayish-brown undertail coverts. The species lives in Colombia and Venezuela, and the subspecies saucerottei lives in western Colombia, including the Cauca River valley. IUCN lists it as Least Concern.
I made this frame with a Canon R5 and the RF 100-500mm f/4.5-7.1L, at 1/750 sec, f/6.7, ISO 400, −1 EV. The San Antonio cloud forest at Kilometer 18 is recognized as an Important Bird Area and a Key Biodiversity Area, with the Multicolored Tanager as its symbol species.

It was rather windy yesterday (although not as much as today) and wet and dull too! Managed to snap this vole (in the wind...!) as he popped out to find morsels under the feeders at Venus Pool - Shropshire

Just arrived in Tahiti (French Polynesia) on Ovation of the Seas. So have a little internet for a few days. Will catch up when I can … probably when we get back home.

Dal nome del paese di Mergozzo è derivato il nome del vento che proviene appunto dalla valle del Toce e che spira prevalentemente nelle ore notturne.
Thank you all for visiting!
The "trumpet" vents at the base of the Leadenhall Building, nicknamed the "Cheesegrater," are a prominent feature that combines architectural design with public art. Architect Richard Rogers designed them to be visible (...). These vents have become a canvas for large-scale murals by various street artists as part of the London Mural Festival, including DRT and Carl Cashman, who have created vibrant and geometric designs on them.
