Baton Rouge la pas intr-o ora (I)

Cu mici exceptii fotografiile sunt in aceeasi ordine in care le-am luat.

Poboys suunt niste sandwiciuri specifice Louisianei, desi sunt intalnite si in alte parti. Poboy e o prescurtare pentru poor boy sandwich, adica sandwiciul saracului. Initial era facut din rosii verzi prajite si paine dar bineinteles ca acum e facut din tot felul de combinatii, printre care si seafood, dupa cum se vede aici:
Baton Rouge Lloyds restaurant

Cladiri, culori si perspectiva spatiala care mi-au atras atentia:
Baton Rouge architecture, aerial perspective

Un bloc ce mi s-a parut ca seamana cu cele din Romania:

Intersectia foarte larga si o casa rosie:

Cer albastru pastelat si cladiri pastelate:
Baton Rouge colors: blue sky, pink, gray and bricks buildings

Zgarie nori conectati de un coridor suspendat:

Forme geometrice stradale interconectate:

Culori pastelate cu dantela si pomi de toamna:

Parcul National Big Bend

Parcul National Big Bend din Texas este un parc ce se intinde peste 3,242 sqkm din desetul Chihuahua, acoperind portiuni de desert, munti, si incorporand trei canioane si Rio Grande - Raul Mare - care marcheaza granita dintre SUA si Mexico. Am condus intre 9-10 ore din Houston pentru a ajunge acolo, un efort pe deplin rasplatit de splendoarea si frumusetea unica a parcului. Nu crezusem ca a vizita un desert e atat de incitant, dar, laolalta cu muntii, canionul si raul, aceasta a fost una dintre cele mai interesante si speciale calatorii pe care le-am avut pana acum.

Una dintre primele impresii, desert foarte fierbinte si dogoritor:

Primele doua zile am vizitat Bazinul Chisos, in inima muntilor.

Munti, munti, munti si desert:

Apoi am condus vreme de inca vreo trei ore pentru a ajunge undeva aproape de Canionul Santa Helena care e atat de departe si izolat incat pare a fi un capat de lume. Am ramas acolo pentru alte doua zile.

Granita dintre US si Mexico e marcata aici de Rio Grande:

La granita dintre SUA Si Mexico, mexicani trec granita zi de zi incercand sa vanda ce se vede aici. Din pacate e ilegal pt ei sa vanda in USA si pentru cei din USA sa cumpere ce vand ei.

Desi in Chisos nu am avut prea multa activitate fizica vrednica de mentionat, pentru ca ne-am relaxat si ne-am bucurat de priveliste chiar de la usa cortului, aici am vizitat ce era mai interesant si am intrat in canion si am urcat si coborat pana cand am ajuns la destinatia finala, de unde se putea vedea o panorama impresionanta a canionului.

Dupa care am condus in asa zisul oras fantoma Terlingua unde ne-am relaxat cu o bere laolalta cu locuitorii micului orasel din mijlocul desertului, care atrage tot felul de persoane care mai de care mai ciudate si interesante.

PS I only want attribution for my photos, but they are free to use (I believe that everyone is copyrighting their photos that they are never going to sell or use which is selfish and creates an excessive number of useless photos). Please leave a comment and let me know if you want/need any.

PPS Da, m-am intors in mediul online pentru ceea ce sper sa fie de o mai lunga si consecventa activitate decat pana acum.

My cat Dinah

I kid, my cat is called Grey. My cat actually has many names. Some of them are the common Kitty, Cat, Pisica, Piti, Pisi, little smelly, fur ball, etc. Conceptually I like to refer to her as “my cat Dinah”, but that is only when I am in wonderland, conceptually still.

But I am not here to tell you everything about my cat. The real matter is that I feel guilty. I can see the accusation in her reproachful eyes when she eats that dried-sock flavored food, the little pieces of crunchy brown gravel that you would not eat if you were starving to death. While I am eating my delicious human food.

I had been theorizing before on the fact that this food is not cat food because they like it but because we call it so. I can see now that cats do not prefer and do not like this so-called cat food. They just take it as a final option, as the only option they are given. After all, their denture and digestive systems show that they are carnivores (well, my cat is omnivore and loves papaya, mango, and chips&salsa, but who cares). It’s like painting the roses red. Well, more like painting weeds as roses, but anyway.
