On the 22.10.2010 the sun is shining all over the valley crossed by a long road.
The same day, but a different angle.
Try to see this sight with a litle more snow.
And now some pure water from the mountain.

Lihue, Kauai, Hawaii
Fish go into a frenzy around me as scraps of food are dropped into the water by people on the boat. Clownfish and Bubble
Tipped Anemone - Bleached by high water temperatures, this bubble-tipped anemone is largely devoid of the algae that provide color as well as energy from photosynthesis. Though stressed, it will likely survive and continue to serve its clownfish. Underwater Cave, Bahamas
The Cascade Room, some 80 feet (24 meters) beneath the surface, leads divers deeper into Dan's Cave on Abaco Island. Nearly seven miles (11 kilometers) of the cave have been explored since the mid-1990s. Ice Canyon, Greenland
Meltwater has carved a canyon 150 feet (45 meters) deep. Autumn Leaves, Japan
"The road gods beckoned." Thus the poet Matsuo Basho set off in 1689 into Japan’s backcountry. His journal, Narrow Road to a Far Province, described a path, still visible on Natagiri Pass, that devotees have followed ever since. Tiger
Hunted to death in much of India, tigers survive in Kaziranga National Park. Peacock, Sarasota
I found this peacock last April while touring downtown Sarasota, Florida. He seemed willing to have his picture taken so I obliged him! Northern Spotted Owl
A tagged northern spotted owl swoops toward a researcher’s lure in a young redwood forest. Puffin, Shiant Islands
Dapper black-and-white razorbills (at right) and bright-beaked puffins (at left and in air, at center) find a haven on the Shiant Islands, just a few miles southeast of Lewis, Scotland. Nearly 8,000 razorbills and more than 200,000 puffins are estimated to use these islands as their breeding grounds each year. Bathing Parrot
During a boat trip across the Gulf of Papagayo, this nice parrot decided that he couldn't stand the heat of the Guanacaste summer and decided to take a bath. King Penguins Swimming
A feeding party streams back to shore after several days at sea. Their orange markings, long, slender bills, and hefty, three-foot-long bodies distinguish them as king penguins. With bellies full of small fish, they will regurgitate a portion for waiting chicks. Pantanal, Brazil
Birds in the Pantanal of Mato Grosso in central-western Brazil. Smyrna, Delaware
A "bllizzard" of snow geese at Bombay Hook, near Smyrna. Butterfly Egg
Perched on the tendril of a Passiflora plant, the egg of the Julia heliconian butterfly may be safe from hungry ants. This species lays its eggs almost exclusively on this plant's twisted vines. Serra da Leba, Angola
This is Serra da Leba, a landmark in Angola. It has been one of the country's postcard images for decades, but all shots were taken by day. I needed something different. I decided to try a night shot, but it seemed impossible: pitch black, foggy, an altitude of 1,800 meters (5,000 feet). My Nikon can stay open as long as 60 seconds max. But a car takes a few minutes to climb and descend and complete the "drawing." The fog was blocking! Suddenly the fog cleared, a car went down, another went up, and they met in the middle in under 60 seconds. Painting done. Rideout Bay, Ontario
This is an image from Rideout Bay in Kenora, Ontario, situated on the Lake of the Woods. The February sun veiled the shoreline as it teased the fog from the open water. There is no reason to believe this point looked any different 500 years ago, and I welcome its haunting invitation to return to innocence. Sea Stacks, Outer Hebrides
Their crumpled layers as old as the continents, the sea stacks and cliffs of the Outer Hebrides in Scotland offer jagged reminders of the forces that drove Europe, North America, and Greenland apart as the North Atlantic began to open 60 million years ago.

Bering Sea Sunset
Water from the Bering Sea crashes on the rocks of Margaret Bay in Dutch Harbor, Alaska. Saranac Lake, New York
Clouds and sunlight reflect off the surface of the West Branch of the Sacandaga Creek as a kayak penetrates a wilderness area of New York's Adirondack Park. Everglades National Park, Florida
Little Butternut Key in Florida Bay, viewed from a shoal off Middle Butternut Key. From Florida Bay Ranger Station, kayak five miles northwest, rounding Swash Key. Then paddle southwest to the tip of Middle Butternut. Waikawau Bay, New Zealand
This photo was taken at Waikawau Bay, Coromandel, New Zealand. After a gorgeous drive up the coast I was greeted with this scene. It kind of reminds me of the symmetrical paintings I did at primary school where you painted one side then folded the paper in half. The weather always seems to provide unique opportunities up this end of New Zealand. Denali National Park, Alaska
The Alaska Range, viewed from Polychrome Overlook. Take the park shuttle bus to mile 47 and hop off at the viewpoint's designated stop. Look southwest. Bryce Canyon National Park, Utah
An unnamed hoodoo formation viewed from the Peekaboo Connector Trail. Hike one mile into the canyon from Bryce Point and look back up toward the trailhead. In the distance is a trio of spires called the Three Wise Men. Yosemite National Park, California
Bridalveil Fall in Yosemite Valley, as seen from Tunnel View. From Yosemite's South Entrance, drive 25 miles on Route 41. Park in the lot just beyond Wawona Tunnel and look east. Death Vallery National Park, California
The untrodden dunes of Devils Cornfield, viewed from the south. From the Stovepipe Wells Visitor Center, drive east on Highway 190 for four miles. Park on the side of the road and walk northwest into the sands for a mile. Wind River Roadless Area, Wyoming
No signs point the way here, only the arthritic limbs of a pine gesturing to an endless sky. It is the wildest of the wild, a glacier-scoured terrain unmarred by roads, tugged at by wind, on the shoulder of the Continental Divide. This preserve of the Eastern Shoshone and Northern Arapaho dates back to 1937, decades before the United States passed the Wilderness Act, in 1964. Wadi Hitan
Imagine this dry expanse underwater, with whales hunting and diving. Today visitors to Wadi Hitan walk a stone-lined path to see rocks that hold the fossils of the long-gone sea creatures. Lencois Maranhenses National Park, Brazil
Waves of sand, firmed by an overnight rain, flow along the route of a fisherman pedaling his catch at dawn to trade it for supplies. When the dune dries in a day or so, the wind will begin to reshape it once again. Lightning, Cape Town
Two separate lightning bolts converge over Table Mountain in Cape Town, South Africa, with an amazing display of natural electricity. Point Reyes Station, California
The windswept trees formed a kind of tunnel and the sun pierced through the upper layer of the fog to create a very special effect. It appears quite unreal. Santa Fe, New Mexico
A demonstration in making traditional chili ristras at El Rancho de las Golondrinas, southwest of Santa Fe. Badshahi Mosque, Pakistan
A quiet interlude between prayers is the best time to savor the majesty of the Badshahi Mosque. Its marble domes and graceful minarets rise above Lahore's Old City, evoking the glories of Punjab's imperial past. If you like this post, send it to your friends, sow they can enjoy it too!
