Purang county is the heart of Far-West, where the four great rivers of South Asia diverge from their glacial sources around Mount Kailash (Gangs Rin Po Che, Ti-se) གངས་རིན་པོ་ཆེ 6638m. It is the goal of the great pilgrimage routes which approach this sacred mountain from the north (Gegye or Xinjiang), from the west (Kinnaur in India), from the south (Almora in India known as Taklakot in Nepali, and from the east (Drongpa)). The county capital is located at Purang སྤུ་ཧྲེང་།, known as Taklamot in Nepali. Area: 11.641 sq km. www.footprinttravelguides.com/c/2848/tibet/&Action=pr...

We went to the iconic Yosemite National Park with destination Half Dome. It's a strenuous 18 miles (29 km) roundtrip hike with 4800 feet (1500 m) altitude gain.
These tree roots on the trail to Half Dome caught my eyes, ancient nature at it's best. The Swiss German word "urchig" comes to mind, a word that does not exist in English. The closest German word is "urwüchsig", which can't be translated either. "Urchig" is something natural, simple, old, traditional, respected, elemental, unspoiled, something with character.
I processed an balanced and a paintery HDR photo from a RAW exposure, merged them selectively, and carefully adjusted the curves and color balance.

As I sit and listen to the cacophony of rockets and firecrackers, I can't help but appreciate the firework shows that Mother Nature delivers every morning and night (at least somewhere in the world). Without the acrid smell of smoke and loud explosions, this sunset on Banks Lake delivered the goods in my eyes (and let the chirping frogs fill my ears with their nightly chatter).
Clivia miniata (Natal lily, bush lily, Kaffir lily) is a species of flowering plant in the genus Clivia of the family Amaryllidaceae, native, growing in woodland habitats in South Africa (Eastern Cape, Mpumalanga and KwaZulu-Natal provinces) as well as in Swaziland. Given suitable conditions it grows into large clumps and is surprisingly water wise. It is also reportedly naturalized in Mexico. It is a popular plant for shady areas and is commonly seen growing in older established suburbs in most Australian states. It is also popular in New Zealand, Japan, China and southern parts of the USA, particularly California.
It grows to a height of about 45 cm (18 in), and flowers are red, orange or yellow, sometimes with a faint, but very sweet perfume. It is sometimes known in cultivation as "Kaffir lily".
