Atlantic from the mouth of the Douro River

The River Douro runs through Portugal into the Atlantic Ocean and this is it's arrival point. The river Douro is the third-longest river in the Iberian Peninsula after the Tagus and Ebro. Its total length is 897 kilometres (557 mi), of which only sections of the Portuguese extension below the fall line are navigable, by light rivercraft. In its Spanish section, the Douro crosses the great Castilian meseta and meanders through five provinces of the autonomous community of Castile and León: Soria, Burgos, Valladolid, Zamora, and Salamanca, passing through the towns of Soria, Almazán, Aranda de Duero, Tordesillas, and Zamora. In this region, there are few tributaries of the Douro. The most important are the Pisuerga, passing through Valladolid, and the Esla, which passes through Zamora. This region is generally semi-arid plains, with wheat and in some places, especially near Aranda de Duero, with vineyards, in the Ribera del Duero wine region. Sheep rearing is also still important. For 112 kilometres (70 mi), the river forms part of the national border line between Spain and Portugal, in a region of narrow canyons. It formed a historical barrier to invasions, creating a cultural/linguistic divide. In these isolated areas, in which the Aldeadávila Dam impounds the river, there are protected areas: the International Douro Natural Park (on the Portuguese side) and the Arribes del Duero Natural Park (on the Zamoran margin). The Douro fully enters Portuguese territory just after the confluence with the Águeda River; once the Douro enters Portugal, major population centres are less frequent along the river. Except for Porto and Vila Nova de Gaia at the river mouth, the only population centres of any note are Foz do Tua, Pinhão and Peso da Régua. Tributaries here are small, merging into the Douro along the canyons; the most important are Côa, Tua, Sabor, Corgo, Tavora, Paiva, Tâmega, and Sousa. None of these small, fast-flowing rivers is navigable. Porto Portugal Spring 2015. The River Douro runs through Portugal into the Atlantic Ocean and this is it's arrival point.

The Hamadryas Baboon is showing his manhood

The hamadryas baboon (Papio hamadryas) inhabits semi-arid plains and rocky hill country in Ethiopia and Somalia in Africa, and Saudi Arabia and Yemen on the Arabian Peninsula. The Hamadryas was the sacred baboon of the ancient Egyptians, often pictured on temples and monoliths as the attendant or representative of Thoth, the god of letters and scribe of the gods.

The Grand Canyon.

1.The Grand Canyon ranges from 4 to 18 miles wide (6 - 28km) and is 277 miles long (445km) (that's river miles). 2.On average, it is 5000 feet deep (1,524m or over half a kilometre deep) 3.The entire Grand Canyon is essentially tilted: the northern rim is 1200 ft higher than the southern rim. 4.The climate within the canyon is semi-arid, and the floor in Summer can heat up to 106 degrees Fahrenheit (40 degrees Celsius). 5.It is the third largest canyon in the world (exceeded by Barranca de Cabre in Northern Mexico and Hell's Canyon in Idaho). 6.Around 88 species of mammals, 250 - 300 species of birds, 25 types of reptiles and five species of amphibians all live in the Grand Canyon. 7.The first white man to discover the Grand Canyon was García López de Cárdenas in 1540. 8.Scientists suggest it took 3-6 million years to form. 9.It was carved with a single river, the Colorado, by the process of erosion. 10.800 million gallons of water flow through it per hour (that's 3028 million litres). 11.It is a "Natural Wonder of the World". 12.Its base is about 1/3 of the earth's age. 13.The floor of the Grand Canyon contains fossil footprints of over 20 species of reptiles and amphibians, yet no fossilised reptile bones or teeth have ever been uncovered. 14.Due to the absence of actual soil in the Canyon, very little plant life can grow on the floor, except for desert plants. 15.It is the site of the rare Brady Pin-cushion cactus, discovered in 1958. 16.The oldest human artifacts in the Grand Canyon are estimated to be 3000-4000 years old.
