  • Swiss Via Alpina 1: a middle stage of Titlis lift rises above Trübsee, near Engelberg, Switzerland, Europe. The banner of the USA appears on one gondola as part of a series featuring flags of the world. In Engelberg, we rode the Titlis lift, the world's first rotating cable car. The Titlis cable car system connects Engelberg (996 m or 3,268 ft) to the summit of Klein Titlis (3,028 m or 9,934 ft) via stations at Trübsee and Stand. At Klein Titlis, we visited the illuminated Glacier Cave and Titlis Cliff Walk, the highest elevation suspension bridge in Europe, opened in December 2012, giving views across the Alps. We enjoyed walking 2 miles around scenic Trübsee, a circuit where six play stations for kids make an ideal family excursion, suitable for strollers. Scheduling 3 nights in Engelberg provided a well-needed rest break in the middle of hiking the first ten stages of the Swiss Via Alpina (National Route 1).

  • The Viceroy Butterfly (Limenitis archippus) emerges from its chrysalis. It is a North American butterfly with a range from the Northwest Territories along the eastern edges of the Cascade Range and Sierra Nevada mountains, southwards into central Mexico. Its wings feature an orange and black pattern, and over most of its range it is a Müllerian mimic with the Monarch Butterfly (Danaus plexippus). In Florida, Georgia, and the Southwest, Viceroys share the pattern of the Queen Butterfly (Danaus gilippus) and in Mexico they share the pattern of the Soldier Butterfly (Danaus eresimus). The caterpillar feeds on trees in the willow family Salicaceae, including willows (Salix), and poplars and cottonwoods (Populus). The caterpillars sequester the salicylic acid in their bodies, which makes them bitter, and upsets predators' stomachs. As further protection, the caterpillars, as well as their chrysalis stage, resemble bird droppings. Adults are strictly diurnal, they fly preferentially in the late morning and early afternoon. The Viceroy is the state butterfly of Kentucky. Photographed in the Woodland Park Zoo, Seattle, Washington, USA.

  • Wet statue in Mirabell Palace Gardens, setting for "The Sound of Music"film 1965 (based on the famous 1959 stage musical), Salzburg, Austria, Europe. Salzburg is the fourth-largest city in Austria and is renowned for its Baroque architecture, with one of the best-preserved city centers north of the Alps. The town is on the site of the Roman settlement of Iuvavum. Salzburg was founded as an episcopal see in 696 and became a seat of the archbishop in 798. Its main sources of income were salt extraction, trade, and gold mining.

  • Weißsee Glacier World in Hohe Tauern National Park, state of Salzburg, Austria, Eastern Alps, Europe. Directions: from Uttendorf, follow the toll-free road 16 km through Stubachtal to Enzingerboden valley station of the cable car. Take 6-seater gondolas to middle station Grünsee (1,740 m) (closed in 2023, requiring walking up 850 feet in 2 miles round trip) then ride the second stage gondolas to mountain station Berghotel Rudolfshütte at Weißsee (2,300 m). Trees felled by a recent windstorm disabled the lower lift, so I hiked to reach the upper cable car ride. This tarn outlook excludes the area's dominating dam and ski infrastructure. Lack of snow on the crest of the Austrian Alps has left rapidly shrinking glaciers and has shrunk Weißsee's water level to a very low level as of in summer 2023.

  • This 3-seat, 9-passenger red Wells Fargo Express coach carried US Mail and passengers on rough roads in the West. This Celerity wagon was made by John Butterfield between 1858-1861 and much later converted with disc brakes for parade use. It was designed with half the weight of standard coaches and a lower floor for better shock absorption on rough, sandy, and steep trails. The name "Celerity" comes from the Latin root celer meaning swift. Celerity wagons covered 70 to 120 miles per day (averaging 4 to 7 miles per hour), making stops about every 20 miles. The Butterfield Overland Mail Trail was a stagecoach route operating from 1857 to 1861, carrying US mail starting from Memphis, Tennessee and St. Louis (Tipton), Missouri. The service routes converged at Fort Smith, Arkansas and passed through Indian Territory, New Mexico, and southern Arizona, ending in San Francisco. This particular wagon served the California towns of Stockton, Jamestown, Sonora, and Columbia. To discourage theft, gold and silver was not allowed on board; and the Butterfield Stage system was only attacked once, by Apaches.

  • Weißsee Glacier World in Hohe Tauern National Park, state of Salzburg, Austria, Eastern Alps, Europe. Directions: from Uttendorf, follow the toll-free road 16 km through Stubachtal to Enzingerboden valley station of the cable car. Take 6-seater gondolas to middle station Grünsee (1,740 m) (closed in 2023, requiring walking up 850 feet in 2 miles round trip) then ride the second stage gondolas to mountain station Berghotel Rudolfshütte at Weißsee (2,300 m). The Weißsee reservoir area is dominated by ski lift infrastructure. Lack of snow on the crest of the Austrian Alps has left rapidly shrinking glaciers and has shrunk Weißsee's water level to a very low level as of in summer 2023.

  • This 3-seat, 9-passenger red Wells Fargo Express coach carried US Mail and passengers on rough roads in the West. This Celerity wagon was made by John Butterfield between 1858-1861 and much later converted with disc brakes for parade use. It was designed with half the weight of standard coaches and a lower floor for better shock absorption on rough, sandy, and steep trails. The name "Celerity" comes from the Latin root celer meaning swift. Celerity wagons covered 70 to 120 miles per day (averaging 4 to 7 miles per hour), making stops about every 20 miles. The Butterfield Overland Mail Trail was a stagecoach route operating from 1857 to 1861, carrying US mail starting from Memphis, Tennessee and St. Louis (Tipton), Missouri. The service routes converged at Fort Smith, Arkansas and passed through Indian Territory, New Mexico, and southern Arizona, ending in San Francisco. This particular wagon served the California towns of Stockton, Jamestown, Sonora, and Columbia. To discourage theft, gold and silver was not allowed on board; and the Butterfield Stage system was only attacked once, by Apaches.

  • A rhinoceros beetle is attracted by night lights in Bellavista Cloud Forest Reserve, near Quito, Ecuador, South America. The rhinoceros beetles or rhino beetle are a subfamily (Dynastinae) of beetles in the family of scarab beetles (Scarabaeidae). Among the largest of beetles, their common name refers to the characteristic horns borne by the males of most species in the group. The males use their horns in mating battles against other males. Their larval stage is long, several years in some species. The larvae feed on rotten wood while the adults feed on nectar, plant sap and fruit. Rhinoceros beetle larvae are sometimes fried and eaten as a bush delicacy. Rhinoceros beetles are popular pets in Asia. They are clean, easy to maintain, and safe to handle. In Asian countries, male beetles are also used for gambling fights since they naturally compete for female beetles with the winner knocking the other off a log. Rhinoceros beetles are also the strongest animals on the planet in relation to their own size. They can lift up to 850 times their own weight.

  • The Viceroy Butterfly (Limenitis archippus) is a North American butterfly with a range from the Northwest Territories along the eastern edges of the Cascade Range and Sierra Nevada mountains, southwards into central Mexico. Its wings feature an orange and black pattern, and over most of its range it is a Müllerian mimic with the Monarch Butterfly (Danaus plexippus). In Florida, Georgia, and the Southwest, Viceroys share the pattern of the Queen Butterfly (Danaus gilippus) and in Mexico they share the pattern of the Soldier Butterfly (Danaus eresimus). The caterpillar feeds on trees in the willow family Salicaceae, including willows (Salix), and poplars and cottonwoods (Populus). The caterpillars sequester the salicylic acid in their bodies, which makes them bitter, and upsets predators' stomachs. As further protection, the caterpillars, as well as their chrysalis stage, resemble bird droppings. Adults are strictly diurnal, they fly preferentially in the late morning and early afternoon. The Viceroy is the state butterfly of Kentucky. Photographed in the Woodland Park Zoo, Seattle, Washington.

  • Lamalera village stages a mock whale hunt our floating audience offshore of Lembata island, East Nusa Tenggara province, Indonesia. Lamalera village seasonally hunts sperm whale and other deep-sea species for subsistence. This 600-year hunting tradition using only sail and paddle power is allowed under International Whaling Commission regulations concerning aboriginal whaling. Some conservationists worry that commercial whaling also takes place, and that hunters use their engine-powered boats year round to catch other protected species such as manta rays, orcas, dolphins and oceanic sharks. However, Lamalera and Lamakera (on the neighbouring island of Solor) are the last two remaining Indonesian whaling communities.

  • San Teodoro/St. Theodore's Statue in Piazzetta San Marco represents one of Venice's two patron saints, in Venezia, Veneto, Italy, Europe. Its granite column was erected in the 1200s. Saint Theodore, who was the patron of the city before St Mark, holds a spear and stands on a crocodile representing the dragon which he was said to have slain. Venice (Venezia), founded in the 400s AD, is capital of Italy’s Veneto region, named for the ancient Veneti people from the 900s BC. The romantic City of Canals stretches across 100+ small islands in the marshy Venetian Lagoon along the Adriatic Sea, between the mouths of the Po and Piave Rivers. The Republic of Venice was a major maritime power during the Middle Ages and Renaissance, a staging area for the Crusades, and a major center of art and commerce (silk, grain and spice trade) from the 1200s to 1600s. The wealthy legacy of Venice stands today in a rich architecture combining Gothic, Byzantine, and Arab styles. Venice and the Venetian Lagoon are honored on UNESCO's World Heritage List.
