  Top Eco Tourism Destinations Meeting the gorillas in Rwanda, an island escape in Panama, climbing glaciers in Chile and much more. Check out 24 top ecotourism destinations to visit. MEETING THE GORILLAS IN RWANDA Rwanda’s long dry season (June to September) is the most popular time to visit, but the shorter dry season (December to February) allows you to savor the country’s splendid ecotourism locations and offerings and avoid crowds. The #1 attraction here is the Mountain Gorillas of Volcanoes National Park, which were made famous by late primatologist Dian Fossey. There are 10 habituated gorilla families open to tourist visits, so trekking permits are limited to 80 per day. Being surrounded by mamas, babies, and massive Silverback gorillas is an experience you’ll never forget. But there are many other ecotourism attractions in Rwanda.

  What is Sports Photography? This type of photography is all about documenting an athletic event. It could be a major game, or it could just be early season practice. Local community teams range from high schools to professional-level organizations. When it comes to what counts as a sport, you need to keep an open mind. While football, baseball, or basketball are obvious, these major sports are just the tip of the iceberg. Golf, tennis, swim meets, track and field events, cycling tours, skiing, and water sports count too. The list goes on and on, but if it involves people pursuing athletic achievement with a mix of competitive spirit, chances are there's an opportunity for an enterprising sports photographer. Camera Equipment Considerations for Sports: Athletic events often occur outdoors in the evening or night, with artificial lighting of varying quality. Figuring out the best camera for sports photography and the best lens for sports photography requires thinking about your goa...

  If you’re a beer aficionado, chances are you’ve tried a huge variety of brews to find the one that makes your taste buds sing. You’re likely familiar with the distinct flavor profiles that separate porters, stouts, IPAs, pilsners, ales, lagers, and witbiers, but have you tried to make your own beer? The best beer you’ll ever have might just be the one you make yourself! STEP 1: SANITIZE EVERYTHING Everything the beer touches (bucket, siphon, bottling wand, bottles) should be sanitized before you use it and definitely before you begin the bottling process. Don’t slack off here, else your beer could pick up flavors you don't want. Hospital sterilization isn’t necessary, but it is important to avoid bacteria. You’ll need to clean work surfaces and brewing implements with soap and water. A sanitizer kit such as Star San kills the microbes that change the flavor of your beer. Just pour it on your equipment and wait 30 seconds. STEP 2: MAKE THE STARTER WORT     Yeast is an es...

       RAJGAD FORT       Rajgad (literal meaning Ruling Fort) is a hill fort situated in the Pune district of Maharashtra, India. ... The Rajgad Fort is located around 60 km (37 mi) to the south-west of Pune and about 15 km (9.3 mi) west of Nasrapur in the Sahyadris range. The fort lies 1,376 m (4,514 ft) above the sea level. Situated on the outskirts of Pune city, it is roughly sixty kilometres south-west of Pune and situated at an altitude of 1600 metres above sea level, and is one of the massively spread fortresses under the Maratha empire. Its diameter at the base of the foothill is almost 40 kilometres which makes it very difficult for enemy forces to lay siege on it. Like all military establishments constructed by the Maratha Empire, the fort doubles up as a watch tower for military advantage and security and at the same time has an intricate complex system with structures and monuments for day to day residential living.
