Valle delle messi. Come dicevo un paio di foto indietro, il fondovalle è molto frequentato, in particolare da bipedi umani. La parte alta è più selvaggia e frequentata da quadrupedi; qui abbiamo incontrato caprioli e marmotte.
Thank you all for your comments and faves.
Hidden in British Columbia's Creighton Valley is Echo Lake Provincial Park and Echo Lake Resort. The private resort with RV parking and rustic cabins is a charming place to spend a few days fishing and relaxing.
I would like to thank John and Sara for allowing us to explore their property.
Land of Maremma, land of ancient cursed malaria, bitter land, still wild. Landscape is not breathtaking, but terribly beautiful.
zwei Sekunden nach diesem Bild flogen zwei Silberreiher durch die Szene - danach hatte ich eine Gänsehaut
A small transport shelter doubles as a book swap opportunity for those embarking on wilderness walks nearby the tiny settlement of Kinloch, South Island, New Zealand.
Iceland's wilderness along Snaefellsnes Peninsula with these rudimentary fences sometimes being the only witness of human presence here.
Happy Fence Friday!

Coyote Mountain Wilderness, 40 miles southwest of Tucson Arizona, USA. No crop. No post processing. View from the back porch.
The rain-forest around Franklin River on Tasmania's west coast ... with a touch of ICM.
I always stop here on my way to the west coast - holds a special place for me. The first time was when I was 11 years old. On this trip I took my youngest son Ellis, who is 11, so it was quite magical.
The Retezat National Park (Romanian: Parcul Naţional Retezat) is a protected area located in the Retezat Mountains in Hunedoara county, Romania. Founded in 1935, it is the oldest national park in the country and categorized as a category II IUCN national park.
Retezat is particularly notable for its biodiverse flora, with over one thousand species of plants present within the park. It is also home to some of the last remaining pristine old-growth forests in Europe. Despite its protected status, recent decades saw an increase in damaging activities such as logging and sheep-grazing in the park, as well as threats to its status as public propriety.
In 1979, UNESCO included the park in the Man and the Biosphere Program international network of biosphere reserves, while in 1993 it was included by the International Union for Conservation of Nature among its demonstration projects on sustainable rural development. In 2008 it was granted the European Diploma of Protected Areas.
This picture was taken in the North Side of the Retezat National Park, in Stanisoara Valey, a gorgeous Jurassic like area.
I hope you like it, as much as I do!

Wilderness (Afrikaans: Wildernis) is a seaside town on the Garden Route of the southern Cape in South Africa.
It is situated a short distance east from the city of George, on the N2 down the Kaaiman's River Pass. It is known for its long white sand beach and lagoons. The town caters mostly to holiday-makers and is situated directly on the Touw River Lagoon.
The town experiences an extremely mild climate, typical of the Garden Route and has little temperature variation, seldom dropping below 10 °C and above 28 °C, with year-round rainfall. The flora type is Afromontane gallery forest.
The Outeniqua Choo Tjoe steam train originally ran through the town en route between George and Knysna during its years of operation.
When I lived in Illinois, I yearned for two things, wilderness and wildlife. It took me until I was 39 years old to finally move to Alaska where I could find both. This is a valley that my wife and I found. We were the only two there, besides our dog. It was a quiet day, very little breeze.
When we are in the wilderness, the troubles of the world seem so far away. We often wish we could live in a place where we were the only people for hundreds of miles. Wilderness takes the pains of sickness and washes them away, takes the mental stress of life and clears the mind.
My wife has license plate covers that say: "Seek the Wilderness," and that is what we do, when we can.
This beautiful scene is in a designated wilderness in Montana. Its beauty was literally mesmerizing. I don't think I could ever take enough photos of it!

A view of the MT Timpanogos mountain range beyond Utah Lake from a remote wilderness mountain ridge (elevation 7,318). The trail leading up to this spot was one of the most challenging that I have driven. I was told that quads had problems at times... and I think that side-by-side and quad drivers were surprised to see a truck up there.
