South Korea: Autumn At Tongdosa Creek by Exploring Our World Via Flickr: In celebration of autumn……. This photo was taken in early November 2011 at Tongdosa [Buddhist] Temple, a drive of about 35 kilometers (22 miles) north of Busan. Quote Of The Day: "I believe that if the people of this nation fully understood what Congress has done to them over the last 49 years, they would move on Washington; they would not wait for an election... It adds up to a preconceived plan to destroy the economic and social independence of the United States!" (George W. Malone)

Peru: Salineras de Maras – Photo #1
This one is from the salt evaporation ponds at Maras, Peru, approximately 40km north of Cusco. There are more than 5,000 of these ponds. According to Wiki:
"Since pre-Inca times, salt has been obtained in Maras by evaporating salty water from a local subterranean stream. The highly salty water emerges at a spring, a natural outlet of the underground stream. The flow is directed into an intricate system of tiny channels constructed so that the water runs gradually down onto the several hundred ancient terraced ponds. Almost all the ponds are less than four meters square in area, and none exceeds thirty centimeters in depth. All are necessarily shaped into polygons with the flow of water carefully controlled and monitored by the workers. The altitude of the ponds slowly decreases, so that the water may flow through the myriad branches of the water-supply channels and be introduced slowly through a notch in one sidewall of each pond."
Quote of the Day: "Truth does not become more true by virtue of the fact that the entire world agrees with it, nor less so even if the whole world disagrees with it." (Maimonides)

USA, Hawaii:  Nene - Hawaiian Goose (in Explore 20240316)
flickr
USA, Hawaii: Nene (Hawaiian Goose) by Doug Craig Travel Photography Via Flickr: This photo was taken at Hapuna Beach State Recreation Area on the Big Island in Hawaii. The Hawaiian Goose, known as Nene (pronounced nay-nay) by the locals, is one of the most endangered birds in the world, but it is not apparent because we had several sightings of them while there. Hawaiimagazine.com had this to say: "When Captain James Cook arrived in the Hawaiian Islands in 1778, his naturalists noted that the goose was quite common. But hunting, and predators like mongooses, pigs and cats, reduced the nene population to just 30 birds by 1952. The goose has since been bred back from the brink of extinction and re-introduced into the wild. Today, with 2,500 birds in the wild, it is still the sixth-most endangered waterfowl species in the world." The website also had this information. "The Nene became the state bird of Hawaii in 1957." "One of the favorite foods of the Nene is the bright red ohelo berry that grows on lava." Quote Of The Day: "Never - and I mean never - blindly trust the statistics you read [or hear] about the economy." Don Luskin (1954-)
