Penitentes in Aconcagua - highest mountain in South America


Penitentes are:
Dazzling natural-forming ice columns,
or more accurately ice blades,
that stick up at sharp angles towards the sun.

Rarely found except at high altitudes,
they can grow taller than a human
and form in vast fields.



Pictures

These were taken by me in Jan 2009
on a mountain slope somewhere between
"Plaza Argentina" base camp and high-camp 1,
in Argentina's Mt Aconcagua,
highest mountain in South America.



1)  First, an entire slope of penitentes
     with a trail through it.




2, 3)  On the slope now.




4)  More of the tall penitentes.


More pictures on my Aconcagua climb are in

Motorbikes parking area in Taipei city center


Taiwan people love their scooters.

Here, an entire block in Taipei city center
is reserved for scooters parking only.
(Picture taken from top of Taipei 101 Building.)




In this main street, there is no parking space
for cars, only for scooters ...
all the way as far as the eyes can see !!

Craig's postings on lampposts


FOR SALE

This lamppost. As is where is.
Light fittings and chattels included.

$50 ONO  or
will consider swap for a children's play house
and have a slab of beer.

Meet me here at midnight if you're interested.

You may need a spade.

-- Craig





LOOKING FOR A GIRLFRIEND.

I'm 35
and I have an extensive DVD collection.

I can cook a little
and will even do some cleaning.

If you have a big TV
then meet me here at 6pm Friday
and we can go on a date.

It'll be fun.

I'll be wearing
    one white thong
    one brown thong
so you can recognise me.

-- Craig





SOCKS

Apparently there is a $500 fine for
putting signs up on lampposts in this area.

If you see me putting this up
can you do me a favour
and not tell anybody ?
Thanks.

While you're doing me favours,
what are you like at darning ?

It seems to be a lost skill in this disposable age.

So if you can't darn then it'll be fine
if you just get me a new pair of socks
(size 13).

Thanks again.
-- Craig
