Bonsai is an ancient art of growing plants in containers to represent mature plants found in nature. With Japanese bonsai translated as "grown in a tray." This photo album is a collection of bonsai Longwood Garden.<br />
Bonsai originated in China, has been further developed in Japan, and today is popular all over the world.<br />
<br />

The bonsai display at Longwood was started in 1959 with the purchase of 13 specimens. Longwood now has over 40 deciduous and evergreen plants. Several original bonsai remain, along with additional plants that have been acquired over the years. During November several examples of chrysanthemum bonsai are put on display.</div>

The age indicated on the label for each of the individual bonsai indicates the year training began on that particular bonsai. It is not an indication of the biological age of the plant. When a plant is selected for bonsai training, it may be in any stage of its life: a tiny seedling or old tree. In some cases, the actual age of the plant is not known. For bonsai, age is not the most important quality. The shape of the plant determines its true character, also reflecting the skill and knowledge of the gardener. In the true tradition of bonsai, it is the combined beauty of the plant and container, the "overall aesthetic," that is most important.</div>

Longwood's bonsai are part of a year-round display. Unlike bonsai groomed to look perfect for several days during a competition or show, the specimens in this greenhouse are on display every day of the year under constant training and maintenance.<br />
A working display allows visitors to examine pruning and wiring techniques as well as observing plant forms in every season.</div>

If I had to rate the attractions of Lehigh Gorge State Park, the first place would go to the waterfalls on a mountain stream named Glen Onoko Run. The trail to the falls starts from the Lehigh River, which flows into a stream, climbs a mountain, and passes through magnificently beautiful rhododendron forest.<br />
<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
Lehigh Gorge State Park is very big. To travel to the falls, you have to stop at the parking lot, which is shown on the map. The place is located near the town of Jim Thorpe.<br />

But closer to the falls, the trail ends and the further expedition requires at least some fitness. <br />

In the distance, there is the first waterfall. At this point the trail is the hardest. We had to navigate by the tracks of other adventurers. Also, in this place there is a danger of falling stones harming unaware tourists.</div>

If you overcame the difficult trails, a break in the canyon of Chameleon Falls will be a good reward. It looks like a waterfall in the spring and during the summer rains. </div>

Closer to the fall, or in the prolonged absence of rainfall in summer, Chameleon Falls looks like this. I enjoy the waterfall in any form, at any time.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Immediately after the first waterfall is the next. I have not seen the names of these waterfalls on maps or on the trail. But sources on the Internet say it is called Onoko Falls. </div>

<br />
But the most impressive place of the route is on a stone platform above Onoko Falls. The view, which opens here, in conjunction with the flow of the stream, make time spent here truly unforgettable.</div>

If the stream is flowing with full strength, it is hard to get to the edge of the waterfall . While this site has many high places, you can relax at any level of the water.</div>

Still, the trail climbs uphill. And pretty soon there appears a waterfall known as Hidden Sweet. Doing research online, I came across people calling it Cave Falls. The waterfall has a shallow niche, giving it the similarity of a cave.<br />

<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
From Cave Falls, you can return by the old route along the creek or on the trail. The map shows the route running along Broad Mountain which offers good views of the Lehigh River. However, this route is not as complicated as the one on the way to Chameleon Falls.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Before the entrance to the trail, you are met with such a warning. It should not scare you, but precautions should always be observed before beginning the trail. Also, the rocky terrain and the presence of water in this place make a good home for snakes. There are many, but due to the fact that snakes are afraid of the people walking the trails, meetings with them are rare. But in any case, it is important to remember that the rattlesnakes are protected by law, and not to harm them.</div>

Can one take a picture of an ocean stream? Unfortunately, it would be difficult to create the contours that would make the image clear. Nature has hidden many beautiful forces from us. Imagine how interesting it would be to be able to see wind blowing through a tree's leaves or sunlight enter through a window. </div>

But it turns out, under certain environmental conditions -it is possible to capture this unique natural phenomenon. An ocean stream:</div>

This possibility exists in the winter, when the air temperature is low. As the Gulf Stream carries warm water from the Gulf of Mexico, a significant temperature difference between the air and water is created. Over this warm current is steam:</div>

One of the most beautiful waterfalls that I happened to see is in the Catskill Mountains in Upstate New York called the Kaaterskill Falls. The double cascading waterfall has a total height of 260 feet (79 meters). The height of the drop on the upper stage is 180 feet (55 meters).<br />

The waterfall is near <a href="http://travel-usa-pa.blogspot.com/2012/11/north-south-lake-campground.html" target="_blank">North-South Lake Campground</a>. This is a great place to stay because you can easilly access waterfalls and amazingly beautiful hiking trails.<br />

This waterfall is quite famous. A novel is wirtten about it, many famous and unknown artists used it as a subject for paintings, and poets devoted their poems to this waterfall. In 2000, even a feature film of the same name was released.<br />

The waterfall creates a mountain creek. These pictures were taken at a time when there was no rain for a long time, so this place looked like a tranquil paradise. Of course, in the rainy season, everything looks different.<br />

Some tips for those wishing to visit the waterfall, I wrote a report about North-South Lake Campground which is located nearby. Kaaterskill Falls is not very safe, but it is more than worthy to visit.<br />

At the mouth of the Delaware River, on the island of Pea Patch, there is a monument to the Civil War - Fort Delaware. The fort was built in 1815 to protect the cities of Philadelphia and Wilmington from a sea attack. The fort was controlled by the Department of Defense until 1945, when it was no longer needed to protect civilians. In 1951, the fort was created a state park.<br />

02. You can get to Fort by a ferry from Delaware City (Delaware) or from the opposite side of the river - from Fort Mott State Park (New Jersey). This photo is of the dock in New Jersey.<br />

I can not say which way is better as I only used the New Jersey side. However, the New Jersey way was OK - large parking lot, no charge for road and bridge, and you can also take a walk and see its military facilities in Fort Mott as you wait for the ferry.<br />

03. Sailing to the island by ferry. The island's name is Pea Patch. They say, once upon a time a cargo ship carrying peas wrecked itself on the island. Peas scattered and then began to grow rapidly. This is where the name of the island comes from.<br />

What makes the great metropolis of New York City a unique and special city? It is hard to say, but it has thousands of unique events, one of which is the Staten Island Ferry.<br />
<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
<br />
02. If you make a one-day car trip to Manhattan, it makes sense to use this ferry. A ferry ride is free - There is no need to drive in the city of New York, with its crazy traffic and parking problems.<br />
<br />

04. The interior of the ferry is modest, but this is not a tourist ship. On weekdays, the ferry to Manhattan gives employees of Staten Island and the surrounding area inexpensive transporation.<br />

05. It is difficult to say on what date the ferry began. In the 18th century, ships set sail on this route to transport goods and people. And then, gradually changing to keep up with technological advances, ferries began to sail these waters.<br />

<br />
Natural Stone Bridge and Caves Park is located in northern New York, near the border with Canada. <br />
<br />
<br />

02. Frankly, imagination painted a slightly different picture of a natural bridge. <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjdnOFAA8k6hSJb4GOKMZfRkzA9Nun7syvDfU2ZndxlY4JlB6vwnpbloBzPQWNTZ7PejoTBzZ7TqF6_gNJqC-eJ5FATDenMHrNP6dSPNOdb6YAINtkOhik5-m0_m7vGX4rfOLjmr6kc1FRd/s1600/ns02.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="270" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjdnOFAA8k6hSJb4GOKMZfRkzA9Nun7syvDfU2ZndxlY4JlB6vwnpbloBzPQWNTZ7PejoTBzZ7TqF6_gNJqC-eJ5FATDenMHrNP6dSPNOdb6YAINtkOhik5-m0_m7vGX4rfOLjmr6kc1FRd/s400/ns02.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>

03. In reality, at this point the river goes underground turning into an underground stream. <br />

<br />
04. Unfortunately, the water is not flowing, and remains in place. Therefore, it has a brownish color. <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
06. In addition to the natural bridge, there is something to see.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

08. There are also small caves and underground rivers which flow.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

If your journey is not far from Quechee Gorge State Park, I would recommend that you explore this little miracle of nature.<br />

<br />
2. Looking through travel brochures, I could not agree with the exciting nickname - Vermont's Little Grand Canyon. When looking for wonders of nature, you can not miss it. </div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
3. The official name of this place is Quechee Gorge State Park. The place is beautiful, especially the view from the bridge.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-VWae1_eXjqA/UHi7CtdA0rI/AAAAAAAAB4E/GKwD_qgy5yU/s1600/g02_thumb.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="270" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-VWae1_eXjqA/UHi7CtdA0rI/AAAAAAAAB4E/GKwD_qgy5yU/s400/g02_thumb.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
4. But it is very small. The paved trail along the canyon, even with a slow pace, can be completed within 25 minutes.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
5. A plan to visit this place for an entire day is not necessary. Downstream has access to a pool of water, you can even swim. But there is no beach where you can relax. </div>

</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Mountains covered with woods, a small population, and a lack of industrial enterprises are the main features of this region.<br />
<br />

<br />
2. Chittenden Reservoir, as well as many other lakes in the Appalachian Mountains, was created by the construction of dams on small mountain rivers. The result - a wonderful place to relax.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
3. This beach belongs to The Mountain Top Inn & Resort. I find it hard to say whether all the lake belongs to the Resort, but this beach can only be accessed with one of their passes. Right there on the shore, canoes and kayaks are waiting to be ridden.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhQyCM20cX7NTfkqxg1nzVDYXbja93a64P3zUdUZOKt3enCKcH4OqK1Cjipj-9mMcY8kymozy08LoxscTbroW9EgxEQI0OJkCZZMonTMtfNb6FTJx8ud2aphZzwmi5OFZXR4N68zu4YxoUk/s1600/l02_thumb.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="270" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhQyCM20cX7NTfkqxg1nzVDYXbja93a64P3zUdUZOKt3enCKcH4OqK1Cjipj-9mMcY8kymozy08LoxscTbroW9EgxEQI0OJkCZZMonTMtfNb6FTJx8ud2aphZzwmi5OFZXR4N68zu4YxoUk/s400/l02_thumb.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
4. My the first time on the beach, I was searching for someone to ask for permission to take a kayak. I eventually found out that there is simply no one here to ask. You can take a life jacket, a paddle, a canoe or a kayak, and swim wherever you wants and how long you want. </div>

5. Residents fear the densely populated areas of the eastern U.S., I can understand why.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

6. One of the places on the lake where we stopped to rest.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
7. For those wishing to take a swim in the lake, I would say that there are several options. From the south, there is an access road to the lake. Is there a pain entrance there or not? I do not know, but from there some tourists swam in their kayaks. For those who do not live in the Resort but eat dinner in their restaurant, a pass to the beach is given. The simplest, but perhaps not the cheapest way is to just buy a room.</div>

Chimney Bluffs State Park is located on the southern shore of Ontario Lake in northern New York.<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
02. The shore of Lake Ontario. There, in the distance, Chimney Bluffs is visible. The name Ontario comes from the native Indian tribe's word for "Beautiful water".<br />

03. There are two paths to the Chimney Bluffs - one on the shore of the lake, and the other through the forest. We chose the shore - The lake is a miracle . <br />

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
<span style="font-size: medium;">One of the most beautiful places in the world is hidden under the modest title North-South Lake Campground in the Castilian mountains in New York State.</span><br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
02.<span style="font-size: medium;"> Near the lake is a campground with 200 spots. We had reserved a place for 2 weeks, therefore the site was not anything spectacular, but the site which we got was quite cozy. It was only a 5 minutes walk to the lake.</span></div>

<br />
04.<span style="font-size: medium;"> T</span><span style="font-size: medium;">he northern part of the lake is called the North, the southern part - Lake South. The lakes are connected by a strait.</span><br />

<br />
06.<span style="font-size: medium;"> T</span><span style="font-size: medium;">here are paved trails a</span><span style="font-size: medium;">round the lake and in the surrounding woods.</span><br />

07.<span style="font-size: medium;"> One of the trails leads up the hill and to a place that offers such a view!</span><br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
08.<span style="font-size: medium;"> They say that from this point you can see five different U.S. states. Obviously, this must be possible only during some natural phenomenon, when the air is completely transparent. The visibility was low when we were there, although it still provided a breathtaking view. </span></div>

09. <span style="font-size: medium;">On this site, there was a hotel early in the 20th century.</span><br />

16.<span style="font-size: medium;"> The next attraction was the </span><span style="font-size: medium;">Kaaterskill Falls</span><span style="font-size: medium;">. The falls were caught between the mountains so only a small parking lot for cars was managed to be place 200 meters from the entrance to the trail. Therefore, some of the places I had to go in search of parking were on such dangerous mountain roads. </span></div>

20.<span style="font-size: medium;"> </span><span style="font-size: medium;">I must say - it was a very dangerous place. On such a slope there was little just to hold on to, if that.</span><br />

Tourist guide - "<i>Boulder Field - is an unusual formation of glacial origin, striking due to its flatness and relatively large size. The field is approximately 400 by 1,800 feet and is at least 12 feet deep, making it the largest formation of its kind in the Appalachian Mountains. This feature was formed not from the debris of a retreating glacier but as a result of glasier-related climatic extremes on rock outcrops. Over time, repeated freezing and thawing caused the splitting apart of these outcrops and the gradual movement of the resulting boulder downslope to their present location. The formation, as it appears today, has remained essentially unchanged for the past 20,000 years. </i><i>Boulder field is registered as a National Natural Landmark and has been set aside for protection as a State Park Natural Area under State Park 2000</i>".<br />

02. At this tourist hot-spot, on the right is Horseshoe Falls. In the center is American Falls. They share Goat Island in between them. On the right of the American Falls, there is little Luna Island which separates the American Falls and forms Bridal Veil Falls - the thin strip of water on the right edge of the American Falls. On the left is Rainbow Bridge, which connects the Canadian and American sides.

03. If inspecting the waterfalls on the Niagara River, it is better to start from the U.S. side. Then, after you are delighted by what you saw, you can start viewing from the Canadian side, and the U.S. side may seem less daunting. Although each side has its own unique nuances.<br />
<br />
On the American side, this is an observation deck above the Horseshoe Falls:<br />

04. Horseshoe Falls: height 51 meters. The length of the edge from which the water falls - 762 meters. In the summer, during the day, the water falls at a rate of 2,554,875 liters per second. At night, the water flow is artificially restricted. This is done to preserve the waterfall.

09. This is the edge of the American Falls. A landslide in 1954 at the foot of this waterfall obscured the flow of water with a heap of stones, resulting in a drop height of 21 meters. The total height of the waterfall is 54 meters. Edge length - 335 meters. In a second, this waterfall spills 285,000 liters of water.

12. In Canada, we obtained a room on the 16th floor of the Marriott.
A bit about hotels; It is immediately obvious - on the U.S. territory adjacent to the waterfalls, that the government created Niagara Falls State Park. Where construction is prohibited, and thus preserves the pristine landscape. Conversely, on the Canadian side - buildings are densely packed and very close to the falls. It is not good for the landscape, but it turned out that these building might actually be helpful. "The construction of several tall buildings on the Canadian side causes the flow of air to change its direction. Students from the University of Guelph, using scale models, have shown that as the air passes over the new hotels, it twists on the south side of buildings and down into the river downstream, causing whirlpools". In short (if it is not clear) - these structures, as it turns out, are necessary to preserve the falls.

A Natural Wonder, Watkins Glen State Park, is located near the town Watkins Glen in the state of New York. The town itself is located near Seneca Lake, which in turn is part of a group of lakes named the Finger Lakes.<br />

2. Entrance to the park is free, but you must pay for the parking if you don't like to look for a free spot.<br />

<span style="text-align: justify;">Seven Tubs Natural Area - small in size, but an amazingly beautiful work of nature. Although sources on the Internet, including Wikipedia, indicate glacial origin of Seven Tubs, visiting here gives no doubt that this is not the case. But what made the creek in this area will certainly be attributed to the wonder of nature.</span><br />

12. The higher you go with the flow, the canyon becomes narrower. Although its shape is fascinating everywhere.

<br />
14. This lake is no longer considered a tub, but still beautiful, and its depth allows for swimming in it.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
16. Further along the river, I found a tunnel. There, at the top of the embankment is a railroad, so people have built a bridge, but the landscape is not majorly spoiled.
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
17. After the embankment, I happily discovered that more tubs awaited. Although, the tubs were clearly not included on the map.
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

19. And this is the second, however not an extreme, since passing through, there was nothing we have not discovered before. Although we were happy to swim in the bathtub.

<span style="text-align: justify;">Ricketts Glen State Park is a unique place on Earth where a small area contains 21 waterfalls, each of which could be a separate attraction.</span><br />

3. Each of the beautiful waterfalls is unique and has its own aura. The camera can not express the feelings that filled a man standing next to a waterfall. A photo of Oneida Waterfall.</div>

12. Shawnee Waterfall. Slowly, up, nearing completion of a route. To say that one is very tired - is to say nothing. But, interestingly enough, the next days brought upon a strong desire to go back into the canyon. Perhaps not through the entire route, but at least to the first waterfall.</div>

Ek Balam Cenote Maya is one of the many tourist attractions of the Yucatan Peninsula. A visit which will give very good, lasting impression.<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
2. For most, getting to the cenote is very difficult. The minibus driver turned off the road in a place where no roads were visible. Then, following the dirt road leaving behind traditional Mayan villages, we were brought to this place in the vast Mexican jungle.
<br />

3. This is the mysterious entrance to the cenote.<br />

<br />
4. Classifying this cenote by using the report about the underground lake <a href="http://boris-usa-pa.blogspot.com/2010/09/cenote-ik-kil.html" target="_blank">Ik Kil </a>, this is a relatively young cenote.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-HAhWxnrABI8/TtLsi87skrI/AAAAAAAABos/Nb0cfdPtheo/s1600/ib04.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="214" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-HAhWxnrABI8/TtLsi87skrI/AAAAAAAABos/Nb0cfdPtheo/s320/ib04.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
5. Through this large opening, a spiral staircase cascades to the water.
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
6. Two more holes. The one is used to rappel down on the ropes, like a climber.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-SEKllW_iz9U/TtLsnwZ6cII/AAAAAAAABo0/93A_ERng7Zw/s1600/ib06.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="214" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-SEKllW_iz9U/TtLsnwZ6cII/AAAAAAAABo0/93A_ERng7Zw/s320/ib06.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
7. In any case, the amount of light that enters the cenote is very little.
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-pY2wjPJ2DqI/TtLsol5rrvI/AAAAAAAABo4/oz_P0ZvWwU0/s1600/ib07.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="214" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-pY2wjPJ2DqI/TtLsol5rrvI/AAAAAAAABo4/oz_P0ZvWwU0/s320/ib07.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
8. This shade is not very good for swimming as it causes frigid water, but perfectly suited to the main advantage of this underground lake<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-Uvbl6AjlRw4/TtLss3krcPI/AAAAAAAABo8/nzJ4iDQpzqs/s1600/ib08.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="214" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-Uvbl6AjlRw4/TtLss3krcPI/AAAAAAAABo8/nzJ4iDQpzqs/s320/ib08.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
9. ,the stalactites.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-8G_8jrS8PnA/TtLstdZdUFI/AAAAAAAABpA/s1THwveJO2M/s1600/ib09.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="214" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-8G_8jrS8PnA/TtLstdZdUFI/AAAAAAAABpA/s1THwveJO2M/s320/ib09.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
10. They covered the entire body. <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
11. Here are some pictures of stalactites <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgGUBexD_5G8VTh9TOrgXFy3w4Do75e_rIWPl3pguBk6BdgLJOifmaXkr7euO8jmseqff5jPUp1Vcjeu7HQd9j9KUb4Gx0AWYfWhZVDqTY3mEJkRYyfSGdn3wM0S5SPUIkCQ-YtgtTR7cAf/s1600/ib11.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgGUBexD_5G8VTh9TOrgXFy3w4Do75e_rIWPl3pguBk6BdgLJOifmaXkr7euO8jmseqff5jPUp1Vcjeu7HQd9j9KUb4Gx0AWYfWhZVDqTY3mEJkRYyfSGdn3wM0S5SPUIkCQ-YtgtTR7cAf/s320/ib11.JPG" width="214" /></a></div>
<br />
12. Interestingly, while inviting tourists here, Mexicans talk about abseiling, swimming, but almost no emphasis on the presence of beautiful stalactites.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiGBOmJyshcduwQGpYKWsUEFVl8g7YXDvvtERM9kNniK314Kyy2zrKOyoPQ2NN85Kd5Zlp3HcyR5o0ZGXcMUlmmHsMj4l7gPJ0Uv0-SoB7rPig2lpTlVzoDwLTCbv1Qi_7mr1pq5rsdiNzo/s1600/ib12.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="214" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiGBOmJyshcduwQGpYKWsUEFVl8g7YXDvvtERM9kNniK314Kyy2zrKOyoPQ2NN85Kd5Zlp3HcyR5o0ZGXcMUlmmHsMj4l7gPJ0Uv0-SoB7rPig2lpTlVzoDwLTCbv1Qi_7mr1pq5rsdiNzo/s320/ib12.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
13. Maybe the times are such that fans of stalactites and far less than the fans of swimming. <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-xGtl7sU8H-c/TtLs0HLL3BI/AAAAAAAABpU/Uybl5MlX7CE/s1600/ib13.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="214" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-xGtl7sU8H-c/TtLs0HLL3BI/AAAAAAAABpU/Uybl5MlX7CE/s320/ib13.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
14. In any case, the stalactites here cover nearly the entire cave. <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiDMtKiOpd1k-DJCuX1YzM6GI55h_kcfGZR2y3UMPljKuJMOovaE6GizCSIOyQ0HAlBN74d_0RW5KtscOAnmHBtbA80b1nEHA6VlwJQkCkPU4jqTcz2QNOA-G2ChUVGqmicso2AnuKdB1TF/s1600/ib14.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="214" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiDMtKiOpd1k-DJCuX1YzM6GI55h_kcfGZR2y3UMPljKuJMOovaE6GizCSIOyQ0HAlBN74d_0RW5KtscOAnmHBtbA80b1nEHA6VlwJQkCkPU4jqTcz2QNOA-G2ChUVGqmicso2AnuKdB1TF/s320/ib14.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
15. Lighting, and this is the main attribute of the caves where a stalactite show is missing. Only in a few places, it illuminates the cavern wall. <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjj5ywT7gA-utIz2PTK-kBrbdKhe5SMsaw-LhEblc2ODwZFUtr2xbK44A_DeFp7Yfcs-UodbGFHZsck3LOq0p9U7aWRm5B9hhVxcoSwGyoJt7nNVLRzfZe6mnXJuFJKohhLc6fmf0J0-mJH/s1600/ib15.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="214" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjj5ywT7gA-utIz2PTK-kBrbdKhe5SMsaw-LhEblc2ODwZFUtr2xbK44A_DeFp7Yfcs-UodbGFHZsck3LOq0p9U7aWRm5B9hhVxcoSwGyoJt7nNVLRzfZe6mnXJuFJKohhLc6fmf0J0-mJH/s320/ib15.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
16. But it is a wonderful place. The cenote opening to the public (I think it happened not so long ago), is very fortunate.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgqJNS3R1jOTF_T4yxoVrk4axFjxFBIXc6WdPsVdsG-NEbyp11Y8N31A9KAtUW7SNBvv9f9UJiB0WbWaKx8OEtKoXmxLniLhUKZOrZgy5TnU_7lPPv1V2Ym_HWiXt2C2y2kvugD1xzM6kuJ/s1600/ib16.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="214" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgqJNS3R1jOTF_T4yxoVrk4axFjxFBIXc6WdPsVdsG-NEbyp11Y8N31A9KAtUW7SNBvv9f9UJiB0WbWaKx8OEtKoXmxLniLhUKZOrZgy5TnU_7lPPv1V2Ym_HWiXt2C2y2kvugD1xzM6kuJ/s320/ib16.JPG" width="320" /> </a></div>

<br />
19. Now for the fish in the underground lakes. Being in the Cenote Ik Kil surprised me that the fish were not very afraid of people and float peacefully side by side. Therefore, we planed to visit another cenote. I brought a camera for underwater shooting, specifically for underwater photography of its inhabitants. But things do not go as you plan. Fish in the underground lake were very shy. Attempts to photograph here were futile. This photo has everything that could be photographed.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgsd_daMO2CGeKRWE_IPbkPfRpB_nkGvDorjSDrmQq8h4IVfXzhMQXxf6aTjNZ76LVj7HC1Si2wrngWgkfyz3RlocW9Z0qXlLvskMicTrglI9-YUAUuiM5khuPuhogQXaLTMbKVQFqFyriu/s1600/ib19.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgsd_daMO2CGeKRWE_IPbkPfRpB_nkGvDorjSDrmQq8h4IVfXzhMQXxf6aTjNZ76LVj7HC1Si2wrngWgkfyz3RlocW9Z0qXlLvskMicTrglI9-YUAUuiM5khuPuhogQXaLTMbKVQFqFyriu/s320/ib19.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
20. In the cenote, underpasses are hacked through. As the digging was not done so long ago, in this photo you can see the limestone rock. That's the rock from which the entire Yucatan peninsula is made of.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<br />
P.S. Why is it called the Cenote Ek Balam? I do not understand. It has nothing to do with the Mayan city of Ek Balam and is far from it. In addition, near there is another cenote. It is "mature", the ceiling there completely fails, but it is used for bathing. Ek Balam is a promoted brand and under, it is easier to entice tourists. But still, some order has to be.<br />

Mexico attracts many guesses to countless riddles it creates.It offers an abundance of topics for learning and reflection. The city of Ek Balam is not as well known among tourists, so in search of answers to questions that have accumulated after visiting Chichen Itza, I decided to explore the mysterious ruins of Ek Balam.<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
2. The city of Ek Balam is small in size. This diagram illustrates the tourist attractions of the main sites of the city. Where were the roads and houses? That is almost impossible to find out, even among the townspeople. Jungle quickly absorbed all that softer stone buildings.
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj7lM1sgweu45r26cINVHZi4uHnrAnLHLmJULVkrOPiNiXy1LHAh8quW_YtnwIr1milQ-_pdqWC2f7vOV7xpMLBTO8Vk44mxEKhKSEB1MLtLN6U-v8ge5MIaOm0wEnqmV1SIG0DHNuttrkY/s1600/02.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj7lM1sgweu45r26cINVHZi4uHnrAnLHLmJULVkrOPiNiXy1LHAh8quW_YtnwIr1milQ-_pdqWC2f7vOV7xpMLBTO8Vk44mxEKhKSEB1MLtLN6U-v8ge5MIaOm0wEnqmV1SIG0DHNuttrkY/s320/02.jpg" width="319" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
3. The guides talk about the city, but only convey the conventional wisdom to visitors. I doubt the official point of view will duplicate your observations and reflections. This structure is the main gate to the city. However, the absence of fortification raises the question of the need for these gates.<br />

4. This is the oval palace, also called the observatory. Honestly, listening to the Mexicans, you would think that in the past every city and town was the center of science itself. In my opinion, this structure could well be an urban barn, or something like that.
<br />

5. The main gate (the view from the oval palace) - the typical form of Maya architecture. It is known that the Maya did not have horses, so all the goods were transported manually. But even for a man with a load, to climb 45 degree inclines seems impractical.

6. The buildings of the city are built very densely. This, however, seems to be only the case in Ek Balam. The structures of the other Mayan cities were located far away from each other. Here, it seems that everything is in the same area.
<br />

7. A view of the Acropolis, or castle as it is called.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

8. This construction (acropolis), is clearly not a pyramid scheme. In this area of the Yucatan Peninsula there are hills. The structure is built on one of them. According to the guides, there sat the most important Maya in the area and in there, he was buried after his death.
<br />

9. The left side of the acropolis.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

10. And the right of it. Pretty well made construction.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

11. The height of the building is about 50 meters. A nice view opens.

12. The upper part of the Oval Palace (view from Acropolis).<br />

13. About this building, the guide told us that here citizens brought taxes. The question was, what did they bring - dollars? pesos? The resourceful guide said "yes - the money was not brought there, the taxes were salt", hence "brought". Such is the official explanation of the building.

14. It's like a backyard acropolis.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

15. This door leads to the inner rooms of the Acropolis. It, too, is in the typical Mayan style. Interestingly, the door of the ground floor is built in an entirely different style.
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

16. And here is the wall with sculptures of Mayan culture. In tourist brochures, it is advertised as an original and well-preserved.
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhtsDTFN_ckVJQ3CJliqyVX4ZY_G2CvkSEPU2r5cZwgvz1rDL5_LsDpUiyGQ_1i3J0EVecV3QfQVbfjGS1LJSso5Phd3B7EVwSWQ9oACBuX49kBvlQkMGeIy6cYPDM6suTNMuq9AWqg4w6p/s1600/17.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="214" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhtsDTFN_ckVJQ3CJliqyVX4ZY_G2CvkSEPU2r5cZwgvz1rDL5_LsDpUiyGQ_1i3J0EVecV3QfQVbfjGS1LJSso5Phd3B7EVwSWQ9oACBuX49kBvlQkMGeIy6cYPDM6suTNMuq9AWqg4w6p/s320/17.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
17. Even in the photo, standing a few meters away from the wall, all the doubts are dispelled. This is a newly sculpted sculpture. But tourists have also something to photograph. <br />

18.The figures are carved out of local limestone. This stone is subject to erosion.<br />

19. Why is this building is called a field for ball games, I can not understand. Maybe it's easier on the tourists and the population. At Chichen Itza, this field is 10 times greater.
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

20. Why is this game not played now? If it was so popular among the Maya that they built the arena next to their pyramids, why don't the local people still play it?
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
21. Again - after visiting Ek Balam, there were more questions than answers. Very surprising, the city is built strictly on a north-south direction while all the other ancient cities of the Yucatan built, for no apparent reason, their cities offset from the axis of the north - south by about 14 degrees. This can not be accidental. Most likely, the city was built not so long ago.<br />
