Something a bit different, guys...

A photo I took last Saturday from atop of Corcovado Mountain, looking out at a portion of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil...

The tall peak on the peninsula is Sugarloaf Mountain. Here is a photo from atop Sugarloaf Mountain, looking to the left...

How does the statue look? I was there 26 years ago, almost to the day, and went up there to take a look at it. Unfortunately, it was under construction in 2000, so there was a bunch of scaffolding, and what not, around it.

The statue of Christ The Redeemer looks great TB.



A very impressive accomplishment (1931)...nearly one-hundred feet tall.

A great illustration of heart wood vs regular. It's a single down tree. The sap wood on each side is worn down to ground level where the moisture keeps it from rotting further. The center heartwood is about 3" in diameter and still round.

Was the heart all fatwood down towards the trunk? I guess not unless it was a conifer

I used it to cross the salt marsh. I'd love to dig into it, but we practice zero footprint on this property. It's most likely Eastern red cedar.

A couple pictures from today’s hike. An absolute beautiful spring day with temps in the upper 20’s. We’re finally starting to have low’s above 0° and I for one, am absolutely loving it! It’s been a looong cold winter.
