  5. Hoy en Ibiza hemos tenido 33 grados y una brisa bastante agradable 🌊☀️

    Nos hemos acercado un ratito a darnos un chapuzón y a disfrutar de las vistas, que para eso están.
    El agua perfecta, el mar en calma y ese momento en el que te preguntas por qué no vives en una playa… hasta que recuerdas el precio del alquiler 😅

    Eso sí, yo no soy de las que se pasan horas haciendo vuelta y vuelta al sol como una lagartija.
    Un baño, un paseo, mirar el paisaje y buscar una sombra digna de confianza.
    Cada uno tiene sus talentos y el mío claramente no es convertirme en croqueta humana.

    Ibiza hoy estaba para disfrutarla sin prisas y con el mínimo esfuerzo posible.
    Como debe ser en verano 😎

  7. Favorite outdoor stairway climbs completed to date

    Identified below are this blog author’s favorite outdoor stairway climbs that have been completed to date.

  14. La belleza es caprichosa y, a veces, solo hace falta mirar desde el ángulo correcto para descubrir colores que ni imaginábamos.
    Mirad qué joya de vídeo: la Luna enseñando sus costuras en alta definición, con esos tonos minerales que parecen sacados de un cuadro abstracto.

    Es curioso cómo algo que vemos todas las noches puede seguir sorprendiéndonos de esta manera.
    A veces estamos tan metidos en nuestras cosas que se nos olvida levantar la vista y alucinar un poco con lo que tenemos ahí arriba, flotando en el silencio.
    Un recordatorio visual de que, por muy caótico que sea el día a día, siempre hay algo inmenso y espectacular ahí fuera esperándonos.

    Disfrutad del espectáculo, que estas vistas no se tienen todos los días.

  19. A scenic excursion through Iowa’s Loess Hills

    Tranquil serenity as seen from the hill town of Castana, Iowa

    Winding up and winding down through farmlands, villages and small towns. The 220 mile long Loess Hills National Scenic Byway is pleasant road trip along the western ridges of Iowa between Sioux City and the Missouri border.

    Windmill of time

    One of a few places on the planet where Loess Hill geography occurs, this scenic corridor is a trip through time, both geological and historical. The photos accompanying this text are just a few of those taken while traversing this lovely byway last week.

    Source: visitloesshills.org

    “Formed by deposits of very fin, windblown soil at the end of the last ice ages, there are not your average hills.”

    Source: https://www.visitloesshills.org

    With so many sites and vistas along the byway, it would take multiple days or trips to visit them all. In the half-day we spent there, we hardly scratched the surface. There are a number of loop road and side-trip options that can take the adventuresome beyond the byway’s two-lanes of pavement into adjoining/nearby parklands, forests, grasslands, and other natural areas.

    Roadside remnants

    ——-

    So, if you are tired interstate highways, high speeds, and heavy traffic, consider a dose of Iowa tranquility and grace along the serene Loess Hills National Scenic Byway. Additional images from our excursion are provided below. Peace!

  24. Favorite city and town hiking vistas in the West

    From years of travel, here are my favorite city/town vistas from the western half of the United States. Blessed with many mountain chains and varied topography, numerous places in the American West can be observed and appreciated from a higher elevation.

    Aside from listing the city or town, the names of the peaks and vista(s) are also provided. Nearly all of these were hiked, while some can also be reached by motor vehicle. As other city/town vistas are seen over time across the American West, the favorites will be added to this list. Peace and enjoy!
