Castleton, England! Ceremonial king, Jon Haddock, wears a large flower-covered framework while leading a procession on horseback during the Castleton Garland, an ancient tradition that takes place in the village of Castleton. The date of the custom coincides with Oak Apple Day and it is said to commemorate the restoration of King Charles II in 1660. It is thought that the garland represents the oak tree in which he hid after the Battle of Worcester. Photograph: Danny Lawson/PA

Intrappolate nel ghiaccio, la disperata lotta delle orche

AGI – Un branco di circa 13 orche è rimasto intrappolato nel ghiaccio alla deriva al largo della costa della penisola di Shiretoko, in Hokkaido, ha dichiarato la guardia costiera locale. Un pescatore ha avvertito che un’orca stava lottando per uscire da una lastra di ghiaccio a circa un chilometro dalla costa della città di Rausu, e l’ONG Wild Pro LLC ha poi confermato che altri animali erano…

Shiretoko Odan Road before the spring reopening

[zi-ve]

man bija vismilakais jaunais gads. es biju domajusi iespejams braukt pie valerijas ar nelliju un sabini bet katram vajadzeja samesties deshuku paikai UN pirkt alkoholu ka ari lietot tikai un vienigi alkoholu. mani attureja ne tikai finanses un fakts, ka alkohols mani apbedina, bet ari doma, ka, ja nepatik, majas aizbraukt nevaresu.

pasas majas ari isti negribejas svinet, jo lena ir tik bediga, ka neko nesaka, un es domaju, ka prata sajuksu no atbildibas

bijam domajusi pie nellijas pre party cetros, bet laiks tika nolikts velaks, un, kad saposos un prasiju, vai varu nakt, nellija teica, ka jaa, bet markuss un helena ari tur ir, un es sausmigi satriggerojos. nevienam nebija iebildumi, ka naku, iznemot man, jo juutu, ka rausu panikas lekmi. es sausmigi sabedajos, jo domaju, ka visi svines bez manis, un man galva reiba no uztraukuma

abet! man uzrakstija sabine, kas visu dienu noguleja jaunajas majas, un vina nevelejas mani vienu atstat, tapec vakara satikamies. svinejam ar lenu, kas sakuma bija neruniga, bet tradicijas varda atplauka un uzcepa kartupelus, dalijas ae mellenu koskenkorvu. bija sakuma neerti, bet beigas gauzi, gauzi miilji un jauki. es sapratu, ka man neko nevajag, ne lielu tusu, ne zhaustit sevi par to, ka nejutos svinigi vai dizi ipasi. (lai gan beigas ipasi jutos bezgala).

man piezvanija nikola un mes parunajam kaa kuram iet, novelejam viens otram jauno gadu ar skaistiem vardiem. man prieks milzigs, ka vina par mani iedomajas, prieks ari, ka man iet labak, un vispar vina ir super ciepa. otrs patikamais sveiciens naca telegrama no ukrainu skolnieces, kuru netisam iepazinu duraka aplikacija mainoties ar collectables. vina man nebija kadu nedelu atbildejusi, tapec uztraucos, bet vinai eksameniem jamacas (pat karaa pizgets). vina ir loti gudra, man skiet savos 15(16?) es ne uz pusi rik gudra nebiju. man ir gruti ar vinu runat, jo uz kara sausmam atbildes nav, bet es censos parunat par interesanto sava dzive, sikumiem utt, jo cik ari var cilveks klausities, ka nav ko teikt un sausmas sausmas sausmas sausmas ak jel sausmas, ja vins jau ir sausmu pilna realitate

Among the Flowers. Martin Gregus watched this polar-bear cub playing in a mass of fireweed on the coast of Hudson Bay, Canada. Every so often, the cub would take a break from its fun, stand on its hind legs, and poke its head up above the high flowers to look for its mother. © Martin Gregus/Wildlife Photographer of the Year

A Golden Huddle. Two female and one male golden snub-nosed monkey huddle together to keep warm in the extreme winter cold. Threatened mainly by forest loss and fragmentation, this endangered species is confined to central China. Restricted to living high up in the temperate forests, these monkeys—here in the Qinling Mountains, in Shaanxi province—feed mostly in the trees, on leaves, bark, buds, and lichen. © Minqiang Lu/Wildlife Photographer of the Year

Caribbean Crèche. Claudio Contreras Koob was lying down on the mud a safe distance from a breeding colony of Caribbean, or American, flamingos, in Ría Lagartos Biosphere Reserve, on the Yucatán Peninsula, Mexico. It was June, and the flamingo chicks had already left their nests and were in crèches. These crèches are always guarded by adult birds, so when the chicks began to approach Koob, the adults surrounded them and gently led them back to the colony. © Claudio Contreras Koob/Wildlife Photographer of the Year

Head to Head. The spectacle of two female musk oxen attacking each other surprised Miquel Angel Artús Illana. For four days, he had been following a musk-ox family in Norway’s Dovrefjell-Sunndalsfjella National Park—a male, a female, and three calves. On a beautiful high plateau, another similar-size family of musk ox appeared. Expecting a male head-to-head (it was September and the females were in heat), he was disappointed when the two males came to an immediate understanding and the weaker one backed off. It was then that the two females began their short but intense fight. © Miquel Angel Artús Illana/Wildlife Photographer of the Year

Red and Yellow. Near Rausu port, on the Japanese island of Hokkaido, several hundred glaucous-winged gulls waited for the return of fishermen. It was the beginning of March and freezing, and the air was full of the raucous calls of the gulls overhead. Some of the birds began to settle, keeping their eyes on the horizon. Focusing on one bird, Chloé Bès composed a minimalist portrait, highlighting the eye and the beak. The red spot on the beak develops when gulls are adult and is in part a reflection of their health. © Chloé Bès/Wildlife Photographer of the Year

Holding On. This leopardess had killed a monkey in Zambia’s South Luangwa National Park. The monkey’s baby was still alive and clinging to its mother. Igor Altuna watched as the predator walked calmly back to her own baby. Her cub played with the baby monkey for more than an hour before killing it, almost as if it had been given live prey as a hunting lesson. © Igor Altuna/Wildlife Photographer of the Year

World of the Snow Leopard. Against a backdrop of the spectacular mountains of Ladakh in northern India, a snow leopard has been caught in a perfect pose by Sascha Fonseca’s carefully positioned camera trap. Thick snow blankets the ground, but the big cat’s dense coat and furry foot pads keep it warm. Fonseca captured this image during a three-year bait-free camera-trap project high up in the Indian Himalayas. © Sascha Fonseca/Wildlife Photographer of the Year

Lesser Known Mountain Climbing Spots in Japan

If you love mountains, Japan has more than a hundred of them. But few are as famous as Mt. Fuji. These iconic peaks are just the tip of the iceberg. The country also has 300 other famous mountains, which are referred to as "100 Famous Mountains." You'll find familiar peaks in the Alps and the Maritime Alps among the three hundred. But some mountains are less well-known and less-visited, and those that are rarely visited are full of the real pleasures of mountain climbing. You can find more information about 日本百名山

The Akaishi Mountains, which are located in southern Honshu, are a prime example. The region contains numerous peaks on the list, and many are popular hiking and climbing spots. The Chugoku Mountains, located in the Chugoku region of southwestern Honshu, contain 1,760 named peaks, including the highest mountain in Japan, Mount Daisen. The mountain range has many lakes and is the site of numerous festivals, including the World's Highest Snow Mountain Summit.

The Okuchichibu Mountains, in the southernmost island of Hokkaido, feature more than a dozen named peaks. These are mostly volcanic in origin, and contain two distinct volcanic groups. They're a fantastic hiking destination for experienced trekkers, but there are few facilities and many trails. In fact, the mountains are often considered some of the most remote parts of Japan. Therefore, you'll want to plan your trip carefully to avoid encountering crowds.

Mt. Rausu, at 1,660 meters, is the tallest peak in Shiretoko National Park. This park is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and is home to some of the country's largest brown bear population. The park is currently undergoing joint management with parts of the Kuril Islands, a group of islands that are claimed by Russia. Despite these conflicts, the mountains are a spectacular backdrop to a holiday in Japan.

One of the most popular cherry blossom spots in Japan is Mt. Buko. The 1,304-meter mountain is a popular tourist destination. In addition to cherry blossoms, visitors can also view the 350-year-old weeping cherry tree at the foot of the Taisanji Temple. The mountain is part of the top 100 of the "100 Famous Mountains in Japan."

Mount Takao is another of Japan's 100 most-visited mountains. This quaternary volcano boasts panoramic views of the Pacific Ocean and the Sea of Okhotsk. To climb the mountain, you must hike through numerous streams and waterfalls. Luckily, the trail is 90% paved, so you can hike it comfortably in sneakers. A hike to the summit of Mount Takao is only two to three hours long.

While many tourists flock to Japan for the beauty of nature, the country also has its fair share of dangerous terrain. The volcanic Mount Aso, Japan's largest active volcano, is situated on the island of Kyushu. As of 2021, it is technically erupting, and has closed many local tourist sites. As an aside, the Japanese Archipelago has a unique geologic history. The islands were once attached to the eastern part of Eurasia.
