Bei einem Spaziergang am späten konnte ich fotografieren wie sich die Nebelwand durch's Tal schob und immer mehr Landschaft hinter der grauen Wand verschwand.
On a walk in the late afternoon, I was able to photograph how the wall of fog pushed through the valley and more and more landscape disappeared behind the gray wall.

Kruger National Park, Limpopo, South Africa.
Here you can see one of the photos I took this morning during my climbing tour, which I announced yesterday.
We are in the small but very impressive Khao Sam Roi Yot National Park and are standing at the top of Khao Daeng (which is easily recognizable by the sign), which translates as "Red Mountain."
I was already ready when the park opened at 8:00 a.m. This had several advantages. Firstly, I was alone most of the time. Secondly, the light is simply more beautiful and softer in the morning, and last but not least, the temperature is still below 35 degrees Celsius at this time.
Nevertheless, the walk up here was no walk in the park. But I'll get to that in one of the other photos I took here.
By the way, the bodies of water you can see down in the valley are not rice fields, as they are often referred to in other photos I've seen of this area. Instead, they are shrimp farms, which can be found everywhere in this region.
Hier seht Ihr eines der Bilder, die bei meiner gestern angekündigten Klettertour am heutigen Morgen entstanden sind.
Wir befinden uns im kleinen aber sehr beeindruckenden Khao Sam Roi Yot Nationalpark und stehen oben auf dem Khao Daeng (was man unschwer an dem Schild erkennen kann), was übersetzt übrigens "Roter Berg" heißt.
Bereits bei Öffnung des Parks um 8 Uhr morgens stand ich bereit. Das hatte mehrere Vorteile. Zum einen war ich die meiste Zeit alleine, zum zweiten ist morgens das Licht einfach schöner und weicher und nicht zuletzt sind die Temperaturen zu diesem Zeitpunkt noch unter 35 Grad Celsius.
Trotzdem ist der Weg hier hoch kein Spaziergang gewesen. Doch dazu komme ich bei einem der anderen Bilder, die hier entstanden sind.
Bei den Wasserflächen, die Ihr unten im Tal sehen könnt, handelt es sich übrigens nicht um Reisfelder, als das sie oft auf anderen Fotos bezeichnet werden, die ich von hier gesehen habe. Stattdessen sind die Shrimp Farmen, die man hier in der Region überall finden kann.

The wind has blown so strong that he would have thrown me almost off the cliff. It was not possible for me to take several photos.

Back in the early days of Bellingham this viewpoint was the one that was visited by everyone who had a car. I imagine back then the trees weren't nearly so tall for even standing at the top of a tower doesn't give uninterrupted views any longer

Fotografies de la zona de combats de la Batalla del Ebre (1938).
Corbera d'Ebre fou el poble més damnificat per la batalla, pràcticament arrasat. Per això fou reconstruit a la seva part baixa, arran de carretera. La part més antiga, al turó, fou abandonada i ha pràcticament desaparescut (crec que més per acció del temps sobre les ruines que pel propi bombardeig, tantmateix). Just en el limit on acaba la part habitada del poble hi ha encara aquest edifici supervivent del poble medieval, recordant-me cert gratacels de fama mundial (en faig col·lecció).
La batalla de l'Ebre (25 juliol - 16 novembre de 1938) fou la més important i mortifera de la guerra civil espanyola. Hi ha que també la consideren també la més decisiva, però crec que per desgracia la guerra ja estava decidida de molt abans, com a minim des del trencament del front d'Aragó el 9 de març del mateix any.
Tot i que l'exèrcit republicà creuà l'Ebre el 25 de juliol del 1938 per molts punts entre Mequinensa i Amposta, la major part dels combats de la batalla es donaren a la Terra Alta, a la zona entre Vilalba dels Arcs, La Fatarella, Camposines i Gandesa, a més de la Serra de Pandols.

============================================
This is part of the Ebro battlefield (1938), in Southern Catalonia.
Among all the towns in the former battlefield, Corbera d'Ebre was the most destroyed of them all (although Vilalba, La Fatarella, Flix, Garcia and Benifallet were also quite damaged). All the upper, medieval, town was utterly bombed by the fascist artillery and even the nazi Legion Condor. It was after the war rebuilt only arround the lower road side. The top of the hill remains mostly empty now, because almost all the houses were destroyed and have even been razed afterwards to prevent dangers for the visitors. Only the mighty baroque church remains, although it lost it's roof.
Here are some aerial images:

This is the bombed and destroyed village of Corbera d'Ebre, in Republican hands from the 25th of July to the 3dr of September of 1938. Then it was utterly bombed alongside that sector of the front. Not only the fascist artillery was used, but also the German Legion Condor. Here it could be seen from the Coll del Moro viewpoint, the place from where Franco observed the battle several times. It had until several years ago a monument to the bloody dictator, but now it has been cleaned, moreover as it's an Iberian archaeological site.
The Battle of the Ebro (July 25 - November 16, 1938) was the most important and deadlier of the Spanish Civil War. There are those who also consider it the most decisive, but I think that unfortunately the war was already decided long before, at least since the breaking of the front of Aragon on March 9 of the same year.
The battle began with the greatest offensive made by the Republican forces, when they crossed the river Ebro between Mequinensa and Amposta (especially between Riba-roja and Miravet), and advanced to the line La Pobla de Massaluca -Vilalba dels Arcs -Gandesa - Serra de Pandols . But in just 48 hours, the dazzling advance was stopped short. Then Franco decided to crush the republican forces hill by hill (with massive artillery and bomber barrages), in a battle of attrition identical to the First World War for which the Republicans had no resources or alternative, especially with the river behind them. The main assaults, which lasted from August 10 to October 29, were concentrated in a very small and devastated area: the triangle Vertex Gaeta - Corbera - Camposines.
Finally, a final offensive on October 30 occupied the ridge of the Serra de Cavalls, making the entire Republican bridgehead unsustainable, which managed, however, to withdraw in an orderly manner until November 16. But the damage was already done, and there were no forces left for a proper defense of Catalonia, which fell three months later. Then, fascist darkness.

Teamwork..............Dave Constable had his shots in the bag and was giving out welcome black coffee (thanks Dave) , an anonymous lady and her headlights on foreground lighting, me on the timer and a fieldmouse at my feet, checking composition. We had a great time at Reculver............:-) The red lights on the horizon are warning lights of the local windfarm.
