This photo-collection was done by my son with Nikon the camera. Simply he tested the camera. He tried its excellent abilities to make distant objects closer and then to capture their enlarged pictures. We were sitting in the veranda of our base with the amazing view of the Indian Ocean and immediate surroundings.<br />

First he tried to photograph the most distant objects visible on the sea surface. For example, he took an enlarged picture of a boat floating nearby the horizon. Its enlarged photo was so perfect that we could read its name written on its side. Or we could recognized separate members of its crew.<br />

Then Robert focused his interest on various things on the coastline at our sight. There was a tall tree to the left in the view of our observatory. He started taking detailed pictures of its branches, small cones and needles.<br />

Well, you can see various photos of this tree species in many parts of this narration. We could met it in manifold places of the island, it has often been planted alongside beaches where it has formed shadowy woods above the sandy zones or it has been an important compound of various parks at the seaside.<br />

But I must correct its botanic identity because wrongly I placed it into <i>Tamarix</i> the genus in some previous parts. As the time has been going gradually both my botanic and zoological identifications or determinations has been becoming more exact. This process is like a back reconstruction of a whole picture, step by step. Well then, this tree species is not of <i>Tamarix</i> the genus but of <i>Casuarina</i> the genus. Its complete scientific name is <i>Casuarina equisetifolia</i>.<br />

Musím však opravit jeho botanickou totožnost, protože jsem ho v některých předchozích částech chybně řadil do rodu tamarišek (<i>Tamarix</i>). Jak čas běží, postupně se moje botanická i zoologická určení zpřesňují. Tento proces se podobá zpětné rekonstrukci celkového obrazu, krok za krokem. Nuže tedy, tento stromový druh není z rodu tamarišek (<i>Tamarix</i>), nýbrž z rodu přesličník (<i>Casuarina</i>). Jeho úplné vědecké jméno je přesličník tichomořský (<i>Casuarina equisetifolia</i>).Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01901300396804586280noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6262719897332666543.post-77394020358319073142018-06-08T07:59:00.000-07:002018-06-08T07:59:29.077-07:00<br />

We made a short stop next to a road during our back way from Piton Maido. It was in a half of the climb down of the long slopes to the sea. I recall that the place was covered with a jungle like growth alongside the road. The growth was interesting to me and therefore me and my son decided to explore a little sample of it at least.<br />

There was a narrow wet path leading to the dense growth immediately next to the parking lot. Not too far away from the parking lot and on the opposite side of the road lower under us we could hear noisy sounds of motors but their sources were not visible because they were hidden behind the dense vegetation higher above the road. A while later it turned out that there was held some race for children there. The boys (and maybe girls too) were riding four wheeled open vehicles in a natural terrain. From time to time we could hear excited shouts of fans watching the race. It was clear that mostly the race was watched by parents of the small racers. So much for the audio coulisse of the place of our short exploration.<br />

I was equipped with Nikon the camera and with GoPro the camera attached to my forehead. We did something like an irregular loop in the forested terrain. First we had to step a short slant down to a wider muddy path with pools of water. I was observing all the tangle of the surrounding vegetation and alternatively I was photographing with Nikon or I was going the GoPro camera on. In this section of our exploration Robert took a nice photo with my smart phone capturing me photographing flowers of Fuchsia (<i>F. boliviana</i>) the plant. I photographed both whole looks at the jungle and detailed pictures of some plants which somehow attracted my attention. Judging from the plant composition of this rainy forest I thought it to be secondary rather than primary.<br />

I could recognize often occurrences of unoriginal plants in the secondary forest. There were tree ferns incorporated in the tree composition. Some trees were distorted or fallen but the most of the latter was caught by other trees in their falls to the very ground. This tree skeleton gave the bizarre character to the forest´s interior.<br />

I expected some orchid species to be a part of the forest. I was searching for springs of their flowers falling down from branches of the trees around me. But this my idea turned out to be negative totally. Also I noticed various growths covering some branches and trunks. Often their surfaces showed out mossy layers with some epiphytic ferns growing in them.<br />

I devoted my attention to a local fauna, too, but I was not successful in this aspect. Maybe I could glance a butterfly or a fly but always it was for a while only to be able to capture them on my photos.<br />
I did not see neither beetles nor smaller amphibians. From time to time I could register some birds flying through the green tangle but there was no chance to photograph them. I encountered on no reptiles though the chance to see the local abundant chameleon species was quite high. The same I could say about some smaller mammals. If they lived in the forest then none of them appeared to me.<br />

Během zpáteční cesty z Piton Maido jsme nakrátko zastavili. Bylo to v půli sjezdu táhlých svahů k moři. Vzpomínám, že místo podél silnice porůstal džunglovitý porost. Ten porost mě zajímal, a proto jsme se se synem rozhodli prozkoumat z něj aspoň malý vzorek.<br />

Hned vedle parkoviště byla úzká mokrá stezka, která do toho hustého porostu vedla. Nedaleko od parkoviště a na protější straně silnice níže pod námi jsme mohli slyšet hlučné zvuky motorů, ale jejich zdroj vidět nebyl, protože se skrýval za hustou vegetací výše nad silnicí. Po chvíli se ukázalo, že je tam pořádán nějaký závod pro děti. Kluci (a možná i dívky) jezdili v přírodním terénu na čtyřkolkách. Občas jsme mohli zaslechnout vzrušené výkřiky fandů, kteří závod sledovali. Bylo jasné, že závod vesměs sledovali rodiče malých závodníků. Tolik k audio kulise místa našeho krátkého průzkumu.<br />

Byl jsem vybaven Nikonem a kamerkou GoPro připojenou k čelu. V tom lesním terénu jsme udělali něco jako nepravidelnou kličku. Nejdřív jsme museli sestoupit krátkým svahem k širší blátivé cestě s kalužemi vody. Pozoroval jsem všechnu tu spleť okolní vegetace a střídavě jsem fotil Nikonem nebo jsem zapínal kamerku GoPro. V tomto úseku průzkumu pořídil Robert pěknou fotku, která mne zachycuje při focení květů fuchsie (<i>F. boliviana</i>). Fotil jsem celkové pohledy na prales i detailní obrázky některých rostlin, které jaksi upoutaly mou pozornost. Soudě z rostlinné skladby tohoto deštného pralesa, považoval jsem ho spíše za sekundární než primární.<br />

V druhotném lese jsem mohl rozpoznávat častý výskyt nepůvodních rostlin. Do stromové skladby byly inkorporovány stromovité kapradiny. Některé stromy byly křivolaké, ale většina z těch padlých byla v pádu na samotnou zem zachycena ostatními stromy. Tato stromová kostra dávala lesnímu interiéru bizarní charakter.<br />

Očekával jsem, že součástí lesa budou nějaké druhy orchidejí. Pátral jsem po sprškách jejich květů spadajících z větví stromů kolem mne. Tato představa se ale ukázala zcela negativní. Rovněž jsem si všímal různých porostů, jež pokrývaly některé větve a kmeny. Jejich povrchy často předváděly mechaté vrstvy, v nichž rostly určité druhy epifytních kapradin.<br />

Pozornost jsem věnoval i místní fauně, avšak v tomto ohledu jsem úspěch neměl. Snad jsem dokázal letmo zahlédnout motýla či mouchu, ale pokaždé jen na krátký okamžik, abych je dokázal zachytit na mých fotkách. Neviděl jsem brouky ani menší obojživelníky. Čas od času jsem zaznamenal ptáky prolétající zelenou spletí, ale nebyla žádná šance je vyfotit. Nenatrefil jsem na žádné plazy, třebaže možnost spatřit místní hojný druh chameleona byla dost vysoká. Totéž jsem mohl říci o menších savcích. Pokud v lese žili, žádný z nich se mi nezjevil.<br />

We reached this peak located almost in the center of the island after a long climb up by our rented car. A parking lot was nearby a woody barrier. I saw neither fast food stands nor shops with souvenirs in the surroundings. I could see other tourists. Either they were coming there by their cars or some used a local bus determined to this destination especially. On our way here we overrun one.<br />

We found ourselves in a craggy platform covered with soil and many outcrops. Mostly the surface was covered with a low bushy vegetation in separate tufts. A narrow path led alongside the woody barrier.<br />

As soon as we went over to it we were trapped with amazing views of an abyssal mountainous landscape deep under us. We could admire the beauty of the vast valleys closed almost in a hermetic way among steep green cliffs of the surrounding mountainous backs and peaks. To see all the mountainous labyrinth in its dizzy deepness and wideness was astounding to me.<br />

Here first I began to use our Nikon the camera actively and Robert was my teacher. Shortly after we began walking alongside the woody barrier Karel felt an acute need to empty his guts. Fortunately, he could find a hidden place where again he could establish his original body balance.<br />

Well, hardly Karel´s trouble was over I was afflicted by a seemingly threatening episode, too. It happened to me in a section of the path where it went down to a small hole and then it climbed up higher again. Besides both sides of the path of this section were lined with a bushy dense vegetation and the terrain was formed by barren outcrops under my feet. Justly as I was in the climbing down phase of this stretch I did a wrong step on the rock with my left foot and I lost a balance. More or lesser I was falling down under my control to my left side with my left arm free while my right hand was grasping Nikon the camera very tightly. Though my fall was regulated and I was not injured it had to look like dangerous to a woman with a children standing rightly under me at the bottom of the hole. Immediately after my fall she turned to me and asked if I was well. "Thanks, I am all right", I could confirm with a smile while I was standing on my feet up again. I had to look like a fallen knight in his full arms with my bag on my shoulders, with the GoPro camera fixed on my forehead as well as with my Nikon in my right hand!<br />

But the most interesting thing of all the scenery was that you could see miniature settlements laying on some mountainous platforms in the deepness under you. It was not easy to believe in the reality of their existences under these unusual conditions. And the scenery in front of your eyes changed continuously because of clouds and mist. Passing clouds and misty strips allowed you to see the strange landscape for a while only. When you want to photograph first we had to wait for a right moment in which a wider clear rift uncovered a part of the scenery at least. Because I photographed with Nikon for the first time I did not do too many pictures. This is why here I present much more pictures taken by Venda with his own camera.<br />

I do not guess if there was a chance to climb down to the valleys from the place where we could observe the settlements dispersed in a sporadic way throughout the vast platforms deeply under us. To reach the little villages from our view point seemed to be quite impossible. I had to be a bird or an experienced climber equipped with a very long rope so that I could achieve this goal. At the first glance at the villages I could not help myself and I had to wonder at the fact where the man was able to live! But as I learnt a while later, I was not looking at the villages only from our free observatory. Also from time to time I could see a small town in the wide abyss. Its name was Cilaos and its isolation together with a few settlements around it from the outer world seemed to be incredible. Naturally, I longed for a visit of this lost world living for itself. A couple of days later we made one attempt to visit to Cilaos. Unfortunately, it was not successful. The culprit of our failure was Berquita the cyclone.<br />

Tohoto vrcholu lokalizovaného skoro uprostřed ostrova jsme dosáhli po dlouhém stoupání pronajatým vozem. Parkoviště bylo opodál dřevěné zábrany. V okolí jsem neviděl žádné stánky s rychlým občerstvením ani krámky se suvenýry. Viděl jsem jiné turisty. Buď tam přijížděli vlastními auty, nebo někteří použili místní autobus určený speciálně pro tuhle destinaci. Cestou sem jsme jeden předjeli.<br />

Jakmile jsme k ní přešli, polapily nás úžasné výhledy na propastnou hornatou krajinu hluboko pod námi. Mohli jsme obdivovat krásu nesmírných údolí uzavřených téměř hermeticky mezi strmými zelenými srázy okolních horských hřbetů a vrcholů. Pozorovat celý ten horský labyrint v jeho závratné hloubce a šířce bylo pro mne ohromující.<br />

Tady jsem začal poprvé aktivně používat náš foťák zn. Nikon a mým učitelem byl Robert. Krátce poté, co jsme se rozešli podél dřevěného zábradlí, Karel pocítil akutní potřebu vyprázdnit střeva. Naštěstí se mu podařilo najít skryté místo, kde mohl znovu nastolit svou původní tělesnou rovnováhu.<br />

Sotva skončila Karlova potíž, také já byl postižen zdánlivě hrozivou epizodou. Stala se mi v úseku pěšiny, kde se svažovala do dolíku a poté stoupala zase výš. Krom toho obě strany pěšiny tohoto úseku lemovala křovitá hustá vegetace a terén pod nohama mi tvořily holé skalní výstupy. Právě, když jsem byl v sestupné fázi tohoto úseku, udělal jsem na skále chybný krok levou nohou a ztratil jsem rovnováhu. Více méně jsem padal pod kontrolou na levou stranu s levou paží volnou, zatímco moje pravá ruka velice těsně svírala Nikon. I když byl můj pád regulován a zraněn jsem nebyl, musel<br />
vypadat nebezpečně pro ženu s dítětem stojících hned pode mnou na dně dolíku. Ihned po mém pádu se ke mně obrátila a ptala se, zda jsem v pořádku. "Díky, jsem", mohl jsem potvrdit s úsměvem, zatímco jsem se znovu stavěl na nohy. Musel jsem vypadat jako padlý rytíř v plné zbroji s batohem na ramenou, s kamerkou GoPro upěvněnou na čele a také s Nikonem v pravačce!<br />

Ale nejzajímavější věcí z celé scenérie bylo, že jste mohli vidět miniaturní osady ležící, na některých horských plošinách v té hloubce pod vámi. Nebylo snadné uvěřit v realitu jejich existence za těchto neobvyklých podmínek. A kvůli mrakům a mlze se scenérie před vašima očima neustále měnila. Procházející mraky a mlhavé pruhy vám dovolovaly vidět tu zvláštní krajinu jen na chvilku. Když jste chtěli fotit, nejdřív jste museli čekat na správný okamžik, v němž nějaký širší jasný průhled odhalil alespoň část té scenérie. Protože jsem s Nikonem fotil poprvé, příliš moc fotek jsem neudělal. Proto zde prezentuji mnohem více fotek, které pořídil Venda vlastním fotoaparátem.<br />

Netuším, zda existovala nějaká možnost sestoupit do těch údolí z místa, kde jsme mohli pozorovat osady rozptýlené sporadicky po rozlehlých plošinách hluboko pod námi. Zdálo se, že dosažení těch vesniček z naší vyhlídky je zcela nemožné. Musel bych být pták nebo zkušený horolezec vybavený velmi dlouhým lanem, abych toho cíle mohl dosáhnout. Při prvním pohledu na ty vísky jsem si nemohl pomoci a musel jsem žasnout nad faktem, kde je člověk schopen žít! Ale, jak jsem zjistil o chvíli později, nedíval jsem se z naší volné pozorovatelny jen na vesničky. Občas jsem také v té širé propasti mohl zahlédnout městečko. Jmenovalo se Cilaos a jeho izolovanost spolu s vesničkami kol něj od vnějšího světa zdála se být neuvěřitelná. Přirozeně, že jsem zatoužil po návštěvě tohoto ztraceného světa, který si žije sám pro sebe. O pár dní později jsme učinili jeden pokus Cilaos navštívit. Bohužel úspěšný nebyl. Viníkem našeho nezdaru byl cyklon Berquita.<br />

Here I am going to depict some moments connected with a short stop in St. Pierre the town.<br />
Well, our original purpose was different. We wanted to go up in the mountainous inland but we were stopped by an unexpected obstacle. A not too long bridge over a river collapsed. The river´s water rose up highly during intensive raining a day before while the threat of the cyclone was culminating. Well, we could use some other road leading to our goal but we decided to stay at the town for that time.<br />

Venda stopped the car in a slant going down to the river as well as to the collapsed bridge. We got out and while Venda and his Father were walking down to the place of the damage I was staying nearby the car and I was viewing of the scene from above. Apart from the bridge in the river I registered two things under me. A car was parking a couple of meters under me in the slant. Two men were standing next to it overlooking the scene at the same way as me, my partners and a few other people. The only difference from all of us was that the two men were enormously fattened. Often I could observe fat persons during our trips throughout all the island. Especially the older Creole women suffered from obesity. Me and Karel made something like a game of the phenomenon. Its origin was quite spontaneous. Whenever we saw a next human "whale" we were pleased with a new hunt and usually I was the one who tried to capture an extraordinary specimen either by my camera or by my smart phone. Of course, I was trying to do it in an unnoticeable way.<br />

The second thing I noticed there was several plants of <i>Riccinus communis</i> growing a couple of steps away from me. This highly toxic species of <i>Euphorbiaceae</i> the family has been very adaptive. From time to time it has been cultivated in gardens of Czech republic but commonly I have encountered upon it whether it was in Corsica or in Tenerife and just this was the moment when I noticed it growing and prospering in Reunion, the tropical island, too. As my faithful readers have already known last time I had the chance to observe this species in Sicily where often it has been becoming wild.<br />

My son Robert was not with us. A time before he left us at a gasoline pump. He wanted to try to cover the distance between St. Pierre and St. Leu (our base in the island) by foot. In the end he gave it up using a local bus. But this was much later.<br />

We were walking slowly because the mole gave a shade in a sporadic way only and the Sun stood rightly over our heads in the midday time. A road was running to our left side and we could look at the Indian Ocean to our right side. First the mole was higher above the sea but gradually it became lower and lower. The temperature exceeded thirty degrees Centigrade with no doubts. On that day the typical hot and wet tropical climate attacked us with its full power.<br />

I recall a stony stretch of the mole with stony low walls, street lights, a statue of a sitting sea virgin, streets, houses and gardens, steps and stony slants going down to the sea.

Then the way led us to the main road again and there was a place next to it with several taller trees planted in beds lined with a low concrete wall. We sat on it to take a rest for a while under the tree crowns. Me and Karel lighted a cigarette and while I stopped smoking I set up photographing some trees in my surroundings. Though they were cultivated species they were exotic and interesting to me. Some of them were in flower or in fruit. Our resting place was animated by the known birds similar to a sparrow. They were in a continuous motion hopping or flying here and there in my immediate vicinity.<br />

Mainly I was concentrated on three tree species growing there. One of them I photographed for more times already. The reason for it was that nice specimens of it were cultivated within the mole. The other two were new to me and I photographed them at the first time. The first of the two was in flower and its strange spikes attracted your attention with their way of arrangement. Separate branches of spikes observed from a longer distance resembled dreads of the young a bit to me. Leaves of this specimen looked like the ones of the cabbage and in fact there was a certain resemblance with the Brussels sprouts as for the spikes, especially with flowers in buds. I haven´t been able to identify this species so far. The third tree species was in fruit but I could find some rests of miniature flowers among its foliage, too. This was given by an easy access to it because it was enough to stand on the concrete low wall and you could look into its foliage rightly in front of you.<br />

When I finished my photographing we continued on in our walking. On this way I saw a bigger grave yard on the opposite side of the main road to the left and because I liked photographing various places of the last rest during my visits abroad I stopped to take a picture or two of this object. I could cross the road over to it but I satisfied myself with photos taken from my side. Here you can see on the picture that I would have been able to enter it, the entrance was open, but instead this we kept walking forward and then no visit of the grave yard was realized.<br />

The walk finished in a park at a children playground nearby a beach at the sea. While me and Karel took a sit on a low wall next to a path Venda continued on in his walking at the direction of a distant port. The plan was that we would wait for him in the park and after his return to us he would cover the rest of the way to the car and he would drive for us. The main road was at our sight from our sitting in the park. There were a lot of trees growing withing the park and then we could sit out of the direct influence of the Sun. We were sitting on the low wall, from time to time we took a cigarette and we observed our surroundings. Still some people were passing by us. Some took a rest on benches. The children playground was clear and modern, again you can see it on my pictures presented here. Often couples of lovers were seen from our place, a child was chasing a ball in the playground. Some persons were in their swimsuits because the beach was distant a couple of steps from the park only. As the time was running we could see that some people appeared on our stage repeatedly. For example, we noticed an older man going in a motor wheel chair. Though equipped with the going vehicle he looked like a shabby homeless. He seemed to be well familiar with the park and with some of its visitors. Plastic bags suspended from side supports of his wheel chair. From time to time he stopped at a basket and he was studying its content. Then he disappeared out of our sight but a while later he reappeared.<br />

I stand sitting passively for a while only. Either I photographed something around me or I was wandering about our immediate surroundings. And of course that the place was like created for our amusing game. In one while Karel attracted my attention to a remarkable female specimen. Then we tried to get some good photo-hunts and we seemed to be succeeded in doing it.<br />

Also I went over to the park´s margin where I could photograph the beach, the Indian Ocean and the distant port from. Similarly as in many other places of the island often I could observe overflying specimens of two bird species. While one was yellow in color the second had red feathers. They were the same size, i.e. the size of the sparrow. I made one attempt to photograph one of them at least but then my camera failed because of its discharged battery.<br />

Tady hodlám popsat některé momenty spojené s krátkou zastávkou v městečku St. Pierre. Náš původní záměr byl jiný. Chtěli jsme vyjet do hornatého vnitrozemí, ale zastavila nás nečekaná překážka. Zřítil se nepříliš dlouhý most nad řekou. Den před tím se voda v řece vysoce zvedla během intenzivního deště, zatímco kulminovala hrozba cyklonu. Mohli jsme využít jinou silnici vedoucí k cíli, ale rozhodli jsme se pro ten čas setrvat ve městě.<br />

Venda auto zastavil ve svahu, který spadal k řece a také ke zřícenému mostu. Vystoupili jsme a zatímco Venda s otcem scházeli k místu škody, já se zdržoval poblíž auta a přehlížel jsem scénu shora. Kromě mostu v řece jsem zaznamenal pod sebou dvě věci. Pár metrů pode mnou ve svahu parkovalo auto. Vedle něj postávali dva muži, kteří přehlíželi scénu stejně jako já, moji parťáci či pár jiných lidí. Jediný rozdíl od nás všech byl, že oba muži byli enormě vykrmení. Během výletů po celém ostrově jsem mohl pozorovat tlusté osoby často. Obezitou trpěly zvláště starší Kreolky. Já s Karlem jsme si z toho jevu vytvořili cosi jako hru. Její původ byl zcela spontánní. Kdykoliv jsme uviděli další lidskou "velrybu", nový úlovek nás těšil a obvykle jsem to byl já, který se snažil polapit mimořádný exemplář buď foťákem nebo chytrým mobilem. Samozřejmě, že jsem se to snažil dělat nepozorovaně.<br />

Druhá věc, které jsem si tam všiml, bylo několik rostlin skočce obecného (<i>Riccinus communis</i>), které rostly pár kroků ode mne. Tento vysoce toxický druh z čeledi pryšcovitých (<i>Euphorbiaceae</i>) je velmi přizpůsobivý. Občas se pěstuje v zahradách České republiky, ale obecně jsem na něj narážel, ať to bylo na Korzice nebo na Tenerife a právě tohle byl okamžik, kdy jsem si povšiml, že roste a prosperuje rovněž na tropickém ostrově Reunionu. Jak moji věrní čtenáři už vědí, naposledy jsem měl příležitost pozorovat tento druh na Sicílii, kde často zplaňoval.<br />

Robert, můj syn, s námi nebyl. Před časem nás opustil u benzínové pumpy. Chtěl se pokusit urazit vzdálenost mezi St. Pierre a St. Leu (naše základna na ostrově) po svých. Nakonec to vzdal a použil místní bus. Ale to bylo mnohem později.<br />

Zatímco Robert kráčel vlastní cestou, my tři jsme pozměnili původní záměr u zříceného mostu. Venda obrátil auto a začal ho řídit z periférie do města podél pobřeží. Po chvíli jsme vůz opustili na parkovišti poblíž moře a rozešli jsme se stále dál kupředu podél pobřežní linie. Šli jsme pomalu, protože molo poskytovalo stín jen sporadicky a slunce nám v poledním čase stálo přímo nad hlavami. Po levé straně probíhala silnice a po pravé straně jsme se mohli dívat na Indický oceán. Zprvu bylo molo výše nad mořem, ale postupně se snižovalo. Bez pochyb, teplota přesahovala třicet stupňů Celsia. Toho dne nás atakovalo typické horké a vlhké klima plnou silou.<br />

V jedné chvíli jsme procházeli kol žluté dodávky, která parkovala těsně vedle chodníku. Vyfotil jsem si její záď se známým symbolem místního Dodo bourbonu (lehké pivo) na ní.<br />

Vzpomínám na jeden kamenný úsek mola s kamennými nízkými zdmi, pouličními lampami, sochou sedící mořské panny, ulicemi, domy a zahrádkami, se schodišti a kamennými svahy spadajícími k moři. Tu mořskou pannu jsem fotil několikrát. Soudě podle její tváře, žádnou kráskou nebyla.Tuto část od hlavní silnice oddělovaly řady domů a podle mého názoru to byl nejkrásnější úsek z celé naší procházky.<br />

Poté nás cesta znovu svedla k hlavní silnici a vedle ní bylo jedno místo s několika vyššími stromy zasazenými v záhoně lemovaném nízkou betonovou zídkou. Posadili jsme se na ni, abychom si chvíli odpočali pod stromovými korunami. Já a Karel jsme si zapálili, a když jsem dokouřil, pustil jsem se do focení některých stromů v okolí. I když to byly druhy pěstované, pro mne byly exotické a zajímavé. Některé z nich byly v květu nebo v plodu. Naše odpočívadlo oživovali známí ptáci podobní vrabci. Byli v neustálém pohybu, hopkající a poletující v mé bezprostřední blízkosti.<br />

Hlavně jsem se soustředil na tři stromové druhy, které tam rostly. Jeden z nich jsem už fotil vícekrát. Z toho důvodu, že na molu byly pěstovány jeho pěkné exempláře. Další dva byly pro mne nové a fotil jsem je poprvé. První z těch dvou kvetl a jeho květenství upoutávala vaši pozornost zvláštním způsobem uspořádání. Jednotlivé větve květenství pozorované z větší vzdálenosti mi trochu připomínaly dready mladých. Listy tohoto exempláře vypadaly jako listy kapusty a vlastně, pokud jde o květenství, zvláště s květy v poupatech, byla tam určitá podobnost s růžičkovou kapustou. Tento druh jsem dosud určit nedokázal. Třetí strom byl v plodu, ale dokázal jsem v listoví najít i nějaké zbytky jeho miniaturních květů. To bylo dáno snadným přístupem k němu, protože stačilo stoupnout si na betonovou nízkou zídku a mohli jste hledět do jeho olistění přímo před sebou.<br />

Když jsem s focením skončil, pokračovali jsme v chůzi dál. Cestou jsem na protější straně hlavní silnice vlevo zahlédl větší hřbitov, a protože s oblibou fotím různá místa posledního odpočinku v zahraničí, zastavil jsem se, abych si udělal pár obrázků toho objektu. Mohl jsem k němu přejít silnici, ale spokojil jsem se fotkami pořízenými z mé strany. Tady můžete na fotce vidět, že bych do něj býval mohl vstoupit, vchod byl otevřený, ale namísto toho jsme pokračovali kupředu, a tudíž se žádná návštěva hřbitova neuskutečnila.<br />

Procházka skončila v parku u dětského hřiště poblíž pláže u moře. Zatímco já s Karlem jsme se usadili na nízkou zídku vedle pěšiny, Venda pokračoval v procházce ve směru vzdáleného přístavu. Plán byl, že na něj počkáme v parku a až se k nám vrátí, urazí zbytek cesty k autu a přijede pro nás. Hlavní ulici jsme měli z našeho sezení v dohledu. V parku rostla spousta stromů, takže jsme mohli sedět mimo přímý vliv slunce. Seděli jsme na nízké zídce, občas jsme si zakouřili a pozorovali jsme okolí. Pořád kol nás procházeli nějací lidé. Někteří odpočívali na lavičkách. Dětské hřiště bylo čisté a moderní, opět ho můžete vidět na mých zde prezentovaných obrázcích. Často byly z našeho místa vidět milenecké párky, na hřišti honilo mičudu děcko. Někteří byli v plavkách, protože pláž byla od parku vzdálená jen pár kroků. Jak čas běžel, mohli jsme pozorovat, že někteří se na našem jevišti objevují opakovaně. Například jsme si povšimli staršího muže, jedoucího na motorovém vozíku. Třebaže vybaven pojízdným vozidlem, podobal se ošuntělému bezdomovci. Zdálo se, že je dobře obeznámen s parkem a s některými jeho návštěvníky. Z postranic jeho kolečkového vozíku visely plastové tašky. Občas zastavil u nějakého koše a studoval jeho obsah. Poté nám zmizel z dohledu, ale po chvíli se objevil znovu.<br />

Pasivní sezení jsem snášel jen chvíli. Buď jsem něco kol sebe fotil, nebo jsem se potuloval po bezprostředním okolí. A samozřejmě, že místo bylo jak stvořené pro naši zábavnou hru. V jedné chvíli Karel upoutal mou pozornost na pozoruhodný ženský exemplář. Poté jsme se snažili získat nějaké dobré foto-úlovky a zdá se, že jsme v tom uspěli.<br />

Také jsem přešel k okraji parku, odkud jsem mohl fotit pláž, Indický oceán a vzdálený přístav. Podobně, jako na mnoha jiných místech ostrova, jsem mohl často pozorovat přeletující jedince dvou ptačích druhů. Zatímco jeden byl zbarvený žlutě, druhý měl červené peří. Byli stejné velikosti, tj. velikosti vrabce. Učinil jsem jeden pokus alespoň jednoho z nich vyfotit, ale pak mi foťák selhal kvůli vybité baterii.<br />

The place was not so far from the vanilla farm. We drove a field path to it. In the end of the drive Venda had to go a short steeper slant down and the field path finished up under it. We found ourselves at the sea and there was a complex of several low buildings including an empty frame of an entrance with no door in front of us. This complex blocked any next way forward.<br />

At the first glance we could see that the place had a religious purpose. All the buildings and the frame of the entrance were painted in a very colorful way and decorated with a lot of various strange small figures and animals in various colors, too. I think that all the complex was made of a woody material. Several coco palms grew in the open internal room of the complex.<br />

The sound of our car´s motor elicited no response. The place remained silent and no man stepped outdoor from the buildings. The holy stand occupied a narrow belt between the Indian Ocean and a rocky wall covered with a dense vegetation. There were simple woody sittings before the buildings. You could sit down there, you could look at the ocean and you could concentrate on a meditation.<br />

Again I noticed strings of beads or narrow strips of a fabric suspended around some tree trunks in the surrounding vegetation. Also small altars were a part of the religious complex or at least the things resembled something like that to me.<br />

A friend of my son had visited to this place a time before us at his stay at the island and he had been so lucky that he had met a local kind of the chameleon. Unfortunately, despite my great efforts to find some specimen in the surroundings of the holy place was in vain. Despite the fact that the zoological sources have thought its occurrence in the island to be abundant we saw no specimen during our stay at Reunion. Also they have said that you may encounter on the chameleon in some urban parts but this was not our case.<br />

The chameleon was not searched out but we could test the fresh taste of coco milk freely. The coco palms were fruitful and some fallen coco nuts were laying under them. I did not participate in the test because while my partners were breaking one of the coco nuts I continued on in my searching for the chameleon. It was our first and last chance to try drinking coco milk from a coco nut picked up from the ground freely. My partners felt to be refreshed. Something what you can´t experience in my country! You can buy a coco nut whenever you want to do it but you can´t pick it up from the ground under its maternal palm. You can´t break it rightly in the place so that you could refresh yourself with its delicious milk. This is why I mean this episode.<br />

We passed by many various Buddhist or Hindu temples during our drives throughout the island but we never stopped to examine them in a more detailed way. This was the only exception. No big temple stood in this remote place. The colorful decorations were fascinating to me. So many sharp colors covering all the building elements of the complex in a mosaic like combinations or patterns evoked a work of a naive child or a painting of an abstract painter. Really, the place´s atmosphere was very meditative.<br />

As I have already written in some previous posts of my narration I have not been familiar with the building and decorating styles concerning both the Buddhist religion and the Hindu one. I have not been able to tell one from another so far. Despite this I guess that this sacred place has been devoted to the Buddha rather than to the Hindu gods.<br />

Místo nebylo tak daleko od vanilkové farmy. Jeli jsme k němu polní cestou. V závěru jízdy musel Venda sjet krátký strmější svah a polní cesta pod ním končila. Ocitli jsme se u moře a před námi byl komplex nízkých budov včetně prázdného rámu vstupu bez dveří. Tento komplex blokoval jakoukoliv další cestu kupředu.<br />

Na první pohled jsme mohli vidět, že místo má nějaký náboženský účel. Všechny budovy a rám vstupu byly pomalovány velmi pestrobarevně a zdobeny spoustou rozmanitých podivných figurek a zvířat rovněž v rozmanitých barvách. Myslím, že celý komplex byl vyroben z nějakého dřevěného materiálu. Ve vnitřním otevřeném prostoru komplexu rostlo několik kokosových palem.<br />

Zvuk motoru našeho auta nevyvolal žádnou odezvu. Místo zůstávalo tiché a z budov ven nevyšel žádný člověk. Svatý stánek zabíral úzký pás mezi Indickým oceánem a skalní stěnou porostlou hustou vegetací. Před budovami byla prostá dřevěná sezení. Mohli jste se tam posadit, mohli jste se dívat na oceán a mohli jste se soustředit na nějakou meditaci.<br />

Jeden synův přítel navštívil tohle místo při svém pobytu na ostrově před námi a měl tu kliku, že potkal místní druh chameleona. Bohužel, moje velké úsilí najít nějaký exemplář v okolí svatého místa bylo marné. Navzdory faktu, že zoologické zdroje považují jeho výskyt na ostrově za hojný, během pobytu na Reunionu jsme žádný exemplář nespatřili. Říká se, že snad můžete na chameleona natrefit také v některých městských částech, ale tohle nebyl náš případ.<br />

Chameleon vypátrán nebyl, ale mohli jsme si svobodně vyzkoušet čerstvou chuť kokosového mléka. Kokosové palmy byly plodné a nějaké spadané ořechy ležely pod nimi. Já se na tom testu nepodílel, protože, zatímco moji parťáci rozbíjeli jeden z ořechů, pokračoval jsem v pátrání po chameleonovi. Byla to naše první a poslední příležitost zkusit si vypít kokosové mléko z ořechu sebraného volně ze země. Parťáci se cítili osvěženi. Něco, co v mé zemi zažít nemůžete! Můžete si kokosový ořech koupit kdykoliv chcete, ale nemůžete si ho sebrat ze země pod mateřskou palmou. Nemůžete si ho rozbít rovnou na místě, abyste se mohli osvěžit jeho lahodným mlékem. Proto tuhle epizodu zmiňuji.<br />

Projížděli jsme kolem mnoha budhistických či hinduistických chrámů během jízd po ostrově, ale nikdy jsme nezastavili, abychom si je podrobněji prohlédli. Tohle byla jediná výjimka. Na tomto odlehlém místě žádný velký chrám nestál. Pestrobarevné ozdoby mě fascinovaly. Tolik ostrých barev, jež pokrývaly všechny prvky komplexu v jakýchsi mozaikových kombinacích či vzorech evokovalo práci naivního děcka nebo malbu abstraktního malíře. Atmosféra místa byla opravdu meditativní.<br />

Jak už jsem napsal v některých předešlých postech svého vyprávění, nejsem zběhlý ve stavebních a zdobných stylech, jež se týkají budhistického a hinduistického náboženství. Až dosud neumím rozlišit jedno od druhého. Vzdor tomu hádám, že tohle posvátné místo je zasvěceno spíše Budhovi než bohům hinduistickým.<br />

Our sons, Robert (mine) and Venda (Karel´s), had visited to two nurseries of vanilla the orchid during their first stay at the island. When they had returned to Prague I had gotten a very nice present from Robert. The present had been a living small plant of <i>Vanilla crenulata</i> the orchid in a glass tube with a hermetic cover. It had been planted in a special artificial substrate.<br />

All this story has already been depicted in several older posts in this blog. I have cultivated my vanilla plant till these days successfully. Of course, today it has been growing out of the tube. It has been growing freely in the usual orchid substrate in a pot.<br />

And then on January of this year something happened what I could not imagine myself in my most courageous dreams! Suddenly I was in Reunion and I had the chance to visit to the two Vanilla nurseries. This chapter deals with our visit of the first vanilla nursery.<br />

After few kilometers behind the capital Venda took a right turn to a side road from the local highway towards the inland. The winding narrow road led us in a mild climb up to our goal. We were passing by various fields and bushy stretches alongside both sides of the road. In a moment Venda had to avoid a tractor approaching to us from the opposite direction. He had to leave the road for a while so that the wide agricultural vehicle could pass through.<br />

In the end Venda found a next side road in a bushy barrier lining the previous road to the left and turned the car to it. Also this more or lesser field path was lined with a bushy growth and we used the place for a short stop so that we could make water. The rest of our drive took fifty meters or so through a direct stretch ending up in an open platform with a parking lot at our sight.<br />

The vanilla nursery looked like a neat farm. Some agricultural buildings stood apart from the central house. I could glanced some agricultural machines and tools around them. Trimmed lawns and bushes decorated the surroundings of the central house. An older tree gave a shadow next to the parking lot. We sat down on a lawn under it for a while. The sky was blue and the Sun was burning. I recall the field path lined with palms. It continued on straightly at the opposite direction of our arrival. You can see it on The Fig.1. Later we used it at the direction showed rightly on the Fig.1.You can see on this picture that a wind was blowing a bit because crowns of the palms were bending to the left side.<br />

I could see a few of tourists or visitors only, the place, this special farm among fields of the vast flat land was peaceful. The visitors payed their greatest attention just to the central house. The building was longer than tall and its face had a roofed veranda where you could take a rest on benches.<br />
The main entrance was opened and then you could enter to examine its only inner hall. It was as long as the building itself. It served as a vanilla museum, as a vanilla propagation and as a mediator of vanilla products for sale in one.<br />

While my three partners were buying various vanilla souvenirs I stayed at the hall for a while only. There were several separated sale tables or stands including one longer table with members of the vanilla services behind them within the hall. The vanilla team was ready to give any information concerning the vanilla to visitors. I noticed manifold panels with next information of this unique orchid because as long as I knew this was the only orchid of all them giving to the man something else than the beauty of flowers. This something else was its specific taste and sent. Who would not know the vanilla ice cream? Or various deserts and sweets with the vanilla taste. No wonder then that the vanilla sellers sold a lot of products with the vanilla taste or sent. Various perfumes, shampoos, body milks etc..<br />

If I remember it well the only vanilla thing they did not sale in this vanilla nursery at the time of our visit was the living vanilla plant in the tube. This sort was sold out. To photograph in the hall was embarrassing to me among more people and besides there was no good light inside. Therefore I left my buying attendants to their buying fever and I stepped outdoor. I was wandering about the surroundings and photographing.<br />

As for the cultivated vanilla I could see its plantation nearby the parking lot only within the farm. The plantation was planted with low trees in rows. They served as supports to the vanilla plants. The low trees (I do not know the species of the used tree) were not only supports to vanilla plants but also they gave a shadow to them. Paradoxically, I did not take good photos of the plants in the plantation. Venda was better in photographing them. This is why here I prefer his photos to mine ones.<br />
When my three partners joined me again our stay at the farm was finishing. A while later we got in the car and we started going to a next destination of that day.<br />

Naši synové, Robert (můj) a Venda (Karlův), navštívili během prvního pobytu na ostrově dvě vanilkové školky. Když se vrátili do Prahy, dostal jsem od Roberta velmi pěkný dárek. Dárek byla živá rostlinka orchideje vanilky <i>Vanilla crenulata</i> ve skleněné zkumavce s hermetickým krytem. Byla zasazena ve speciálním umělém substrátě.<br />
<br />
Celý ten příběh už je popsán v několika starších postech tohoto blogu. Pěstuji svou vanilku dodneška úspěšně. Samozřejmě, dnes už roste mimo zkumavku. Roste volně v obvyklém substrátě pro orchidky v květníku.<br />
<br />
A pak, letos v lednu, se stalo něco, co jsem si neuměl představit v nejsmělejších snech! Najednou jsem byl na Reunionu a měl možnost navštívit obě vanilkové pěstírny. Tato kapitola pojednává o naší návštěvě první vanilkárny.<br />

Do první vanilkárny jsme jeli přes hlavní město St. Denis. Po pár kilometrech za hlavním městem jsme se ocitli v rovné zemědělské krajině, která se prostírá výše nad Indickým oceánem.<br />
<br />
Když jsme projížděli jinou okrajovou částí metropole než předešle, fotil jsem její stavby, parky atp.. Kdo mohl vědět, jestli se tu někdy zastavíme na důkladnější prohlídku? Tolik k fotografiím věnovaným tomuto tématu.<br />
<br />
Po pár kilometrech za metropolí Venda stočil vůz vpravo na vedlejší silnici z místní dálnice směrem do vnitrozemí. K cíli nás vedla klikatící se úzká silnice. Míjeli jsme různá pole a křovinaté úseky podél obou stran silnice. V jednom momentě se Venda musel vyhýbat traktoru, který se k nám blížil z opačného směru. Na chvilku musel opustit silnici, aby široké zemědělské vozidlo mohlo projet.<br />

Nakonec Venda našel vedlejší boční silnici v křovinaté bariéře, která lemovala předešlou silnici vlevo, a stočil auto do ní. Také tuhle více méně polní cestu vroubil křovitý porost a my místo využili ke krátké zastávce, abychom si mohli odlevit. Zbytek jízdy obnášel asi padesát metrů rovným úsekem, který končil na otevřeném prostranství s parkovištěm na dohled.<br />
<br />
Vanilkárna vypadala jako upravená farma. Nějaké zemědělské budovy stály stranou od centrálního domu. Letmo jsem kol nich zahlédl nějaké zemědělské stroje a nástroje. Okolí centrálního domu zdobily zastřižené trávníky a keře. Vedle parkoviště poskytoval stín starší strom. Chvíli jsme se posadili na trávník pod ním. Obloha byla modrá a slunce pálilo. Vzpomínám na polní cestu lemovanou palmami. Pokračovala přímo v opačném směru našeho příjezdu. Vidíte to na obr.1. Později jsme ji použili ve směru ukázaném právě na obr.1. Na této fotografii můžete vidět, že trochu foukal vítr, protože palmové koruny se ohýbaly doleva.<br />
<br />
Viděl jsem jen pár turistů či návštěvníků, tahle speciální farma mezi poli rozsáhlé plošiny byla mírumilovná. Největší pozornost věnovali návštěvníci právě centrálnímu domu. Budova byla delší než vysoká a její průčelí mělo zastřešenou verandu, kde jste si mohli odpočinout na lavičkách. Hlavní vchod byl otevřený, takže jste mohli vstoupit a prohlédnout si jedinou vnitřní halu. Byla stejně dlouhá jako budova sama. Sloužila jako muzeum vanilky, jako propagace vanilky a jako mediátor vanilkových produktů na prodej v jednom.<br />
<br />
Zatímco moji tři parťáci nakupovali různé vanilkové suvenýry, já se v hale zdržel jen chvilku. V hale bylo několik oddělených prodejních stolů či stánků včetně jednoho dlouhého stolu se členy vanilkového servisu za nimi. Vanilkový tým byl připraven podávat návštěvníkům jakékoliv informace týkající se vanilky. Všiml jsem si rozmanitých tabulí s dalšími informacemi o této unikátní orchideji, protože, pokud vím, tohle je jediná orchidea ze všech, která člověku poskytuje něco jiného než krásu květů. Tohle něco jiného je specifická příchuť a vůně. Kdo by neznal vanilkovou zmrzlinu? Nebo různé dezerty či sladkosti s vanilkovou příchutí. Není proto divu, že prodejci vanilkárny prodávali spousty produktů s vanilkovou příchutí nebo vůní. Různé parfémy, šampony, tělová mléka atp..<br />

Jestli si to dobře pamatuji, jedinou vanilkovou věc, kterou v téhle vanilkové množárně neprodávali v době naší návštěvy, byla živá vanilka ve zkumavce. Tahle sorta byla vyprodána. Fotit v hale mezi více lidmi mi bylo trapné a navíc uvnitř nebylo dobré světlo. Proto jsem nakupující společníky zanechal jejich nákupní horečce a vyšel jsem ven. Potuloval jsem se po okolí a fotografoval.<br />
<br />
Pokud jde o pěstovanou vanilku, mohl jsem v rozsahu farmy vidět pouze její plantáž opodál parkoviště. Plantáž byla osázena nízkými stromy v řadách. Sloužily vanilce jako opora. Nízké stromy (neznám druh použitého stromu) nebyly pro vanilku jen oporou, ale poskytovaly rostlinám také stín. Paradoxně jsem na té plantáži neudělal dobré fotky rostlin. Venda byl v jejich focení lepší. Proto zde upřednostňuji jeho fotky před svými.<br />
<br />
Když se ke mně moji tři parťáci zase přidali, náš pobyt na farmě končil. Po chvíli jsme nasedli do auta a rozjeli se k další destinaci toho dne.<br />

One day we started going to a mountainous area. In fact, now I can´t say exactly if this drive had a certain goal. This trip by our rented car was realized shortly after the threat of Berguita the cyclone. From time to time we could see various traces or consequences left by the cyclone though its influence on the island was marginal only because Berguita avoided a direct attack.<br />

As usual the climb up to top parts of the mountainous area was full of turns and the higher we were the more interesting I found the surrounding terrain to be. One side of the road was lined with vertical rocks abundantly covered with various dense vegetation. The other side of the road gave nice views of the mountainous landscape under us. But both the flora and the views were only glances from the going car. It would not be bad to stop somewhere here and to look around I thought to myself and within a short while my thought came to reality.<br />

We passed through a small settlement and a moment later Venda was forced to stop because of a metal gate in our way. In fact, Venda stopped the car for a while behind the settlement already. Some block was installed across the road. But the block was symbolic rather than real. We got out to remove the obstacle from the way. To push it apart a little was enough. Then we continued on in a short drive to the metal gate.<br />

Any next drive forward was impossible. Panels attached to the gate warned of a danger in the road´s stretch further behind the gate. We left the car in a fine raining. I put my hat on my head and I stepped over to the metal bars of the gate. The place was remote, nobody at sight. I could listen to bird songs in the silence and to a bubbling sound of a streaming water. Through the bars I could see a straight stretch of the road of about fifty meters long. Nothing dangerous at my sight. But the straight stretch was disappearing behind a left turn out of my sight.<br />

To bypass the metal gate was no problem. First the boys explored the place behind the turn. A while later they came back to the car and then me and Karel headed for the place, too.<br />
Behind the turn we could see immediately why this stretch was closed or why it was dangerous. The rocky wall to the right resembled a big vertical bare bed or a big open long vertical wound. Unlike this big open wound the surrounding rocky walls were covered with dense growths of various herbs, trees and bushes. This was the place where loose boulders had been falling down from the upper parts of the rock. The road under the big break in the rock´s face was not overwhelmed by fallen boulders. It seemed that the boulders and other materials did not stop their falling and rushing over the road they continued on in their way down to the lower and lower parts of the surrounding steep slopes somewhere deeper under the road to the left.<br />

Besides there were amazing views of the mountainous landscape to the left under the road. I could admire all the dramatic waved terrain in the deep under my feet standing on the road´s left margin. The place gave to you views of the coastline because a long valley was climbing among various hills down to the Indian Ocean. Some mountains stepped to this picture a bit with its green slopes but if you took the right position then you could see the coastline and the sea at a long distance.<br />
The fine raining was ceasing gradually. Misty flocks did not cease saturating the green of the mountainous slopes with humidity. The humidity was omnipresent at this altitude.<br />

When I enjoyed the views of the mountainous landscape under me I turned my attention to the rocky wall on the other side of the road and I began to examine its vegetation cover toward the metal gate. Also I payed my attention to the road´s edges. I noticed what plants grew there. There was a small stream nearby the metal gate. The road led across a short stony bridge there and the stream flowed on under it falling the steep slope down on the opposite side.<br />
The rocky wall was covered with various ferns, liverworts and mosses. Especially wet parts of the rocky wall were occupied with dense growths of these non flowering plants. But I could observe a lot of flowering plant species there, too. I tried to photograph and to take audio-video recordings of all what I could see there with my smart phone. In places I could see narrow small water streams falling the rocky wall down vertically.<br />

We stayed at this interesting and amazing place for the time of about a half of an hour. Then Venda turned the car at the back way to the coastline. The florist aspects of this stop I am treating with in the more detailed way in texts under my pictures.

Jednou jsme se rozjeli do horské oblasti. Vlastně teď neumím říci, zda ta jízda měla určitý cíl. Tenhle výlet pronajatým vozem se uskutečnil krátce po hrozbě cyklonu Berguita. Občas jsme mohli pozorovat různé stopy či následky zanechané cyklonem, i když jeho vliv na ostrov byl jen okrajový, protože Berguita se přímému ataku vyhnula.<br />

Jako obyčejně, výstup do vrcholových částí té horské oblasti byl plný zatáček a čím výše jsme byli, tím zajímavějším jsem shledával okolní terén. Jednu stranu silnice lemovaly kolmé skály hojně porostlé rozmanitou hustou vegetací. Druhá strana silnice poskytovala pěkné pohledy na hornatou krajinu pod námi. Ale flora i výhledy byly pouhými zahlédnutími z jedoucího auta. Nebylo by špatné někde tady zastavit a porozhlédnout se, pomyslel jsem si a během krátké chvíle se má myšlenka realizovala.<br />

Projeli jsme malou osadou a po chvíli Venda musel zastavit kvůli kovové bráně v cestě. Venda vlastně auto na chvilku zastavil už za osadou. Přes silnici byl instalován nějaký zátaras. Ale ten blok byl spíš symbolický než reálný. Vystoupili jsme, abychom překážku odstranili z cesty. Stačilo ji odsunout trochu stranou. Poté jsme pokračovali v krátké jízdě ke kovové bráně.<br />

Jakákoliv další jízda vpřed byla nemožná. Tabule přichycené k bráně varovaly před nebezpečím v silničním úseku dále za branou. Auto jsme opustili v jemném mrholení. Nasadil jsem si na hlavu klobouk a přešel jsem ke kovovým mřížím brány. Místo bylo odlehlé, nikdo v dohledu. Mohl jsem naslouchat ptačím zpěvům v tichu a bublavému zvuku tekoucí vody. Přes mříže jsem viděl přímý úsek silnice dlouhý asi padesát metrů. V mém dohledu nic nebezpečného. Ale přímý úsek mi mizel z dohledu za levou zatáčkou.<br />

Obejít kovovou bránu nebyl problém. Nejdřív prozkoumali místo za zatáčkou kluci. Po chvíli se vrátili k autu a já s Karlem jsme zamířili na místo taky.<br />
Za zatáčkou jsme hned viděli, proč je tento úsek uzavřen, či proč je nebezpečný. Skalní stěna vpravo se podobala velkému svislému holému korytu nebo otevřené dlouhé svislé ráně. Na rozdíl od té velké otevřené rány okolní skalní stěny pokrývaly husté porosty bylin, stromů a keřů. Tohle bylo místo, kde uvolněné balvany padaly dolů z horních částí skály. Silnice pod velkou trhlinou ve skalní tváři nebyla spadlými balvany zavalena. Zdálo se, že balvany a další materiály pád nezastavily, a když se přeřítily přes silnici, pokračovaly v cestě dále dolů do nižších částí okolních strmých svahů, kamsi hlouběji pod silnici nalevo.<br />

Navíc, vlevo pod silnicí byly úžasné výhledy na horskou krajinu. Mohl jsem obdivovat všechen ten dramatický zvlněný terén v hloubi pod nohama, které stály na levém okraji silnice. To místo vám poskytovalo výhledy na pobřeží, protože mezi rozmanitými kopci sestupovalo k Indickému oceánu táhlé údolí. Některé hory do toho obrazu trochu vstupovaly, ale když jste zaujali správnou pozici, pak jste ve velké dálce mohli vidět pobřeží a moře. Jemné mrholení postupně ustávalo. Mlžné chumáče nepřestávaly sytit zeleň horských svahů vlhkostí. V této nadmořské výšce byla vlhkost všudypřítomná.<br />

Když jsem si užil výhledů na horskou krajinu pod sebou, obrátil jsem pozornost ke skalní stěně na druhé straně silnice a začal jsem prohlížet její vegetační kryt směrem ke kovové bráně. Věnoval jsem pozornost také silničním okrajům. Všímal jsem si, jaké rostliny tam rostou. Opodál kovové brány byl malý potok. Silnice tam vedla přes krátký kamenný most a potok protékal dál pod ním a spadal dolů strmým svahem na protější straně.<br />

It was remarkable to me from more aspects. It was both beautiful and dangerous and maybe just its dangerous character forced the local government to the decision to build up some alternative solution. Namely, the road´s stretch has been passing tightly alongside a long and tall vertical rocky barrier on one side and alongside the Indian Ocean on the other side.<br />

We passed through this stretch in both the ways many times, whether it was from St. Denis or to this capital of the island, in all the course of our stay. This is why I could take many photos of it. If we drove this stretch towards the capital then we were going tightly alongside the rocky barrier and if we were leaving the capital behind our backs then we passed by the rocky barrier at a longer distance a bit. Indeed, you can see it on my pictures.<br />

The rocky barrier has been exposed to various erosion influences in a long termed way such as wind, temperature, high relative air humidity, falls, burning sunny rays and vegetation covering its walls have been. As I think also the rock wall´ s erosion may be accelerated by the high frequency of the traffic, by its noisy character and by its production of various exhalations. By various accidental combinations of these influences the risk of falling bigger rocky fragments down to the road has had increasing tendencies.<br />

When we arrived at the island we could not drive this road´s stretch from St. Denis to St. Leu because just this stretch was closed for fallen rocky fragments on the road. I have already depicted this situation in the first part of my serial.<br />

Of course, there have been done manifold preventive measurements in the similar way as they have been done throughout all the world where roads have been running alongside rocky walls. We could see them on the wall of the rocky massive of this road´s stretch in Reunion, too. There have been attached wiry nets to the rocky walls in the most dangerous places or there have been installed metal barriers at the rocky foot to catch up falling big rocky fragments.<br />

But as the time has been running all the measurements have turned out not to be enough. As I think just this led to the decision to do with the problem more radically. The local government decided to build up a long bridge at the longer distance from the massive as well as from the original road. By this way the new road on the bridge would be distant from the rock sufficiently. And we were in the right place at the right time because every time we were passing through this stretch of the old road we could observe the way how the gradual construction of the elegant building project has continued on.<br />

Why the bridge? The explanation is quite clear. There was impossible to do it in a different way because the old road has occupied the only narrow flat line between the massive and the Indian Ocean. There has been a short vertical cliff falling down to the sea under the road. If they wanted to built up a new road´s stretch at the longer distance from the massive then they had to put it on the bridge standing in the sea water.<br />

Yet one factor can influence the destruction of the rocks strongly in this area of the Indian Ocean. This factor is a cyclone. Our boys had experienced nothing like that at their first stay at Reunion. Unlike their first stay our experience with this huge windy whirl was positive though, fortunately, the cyclone named Berguita did not hit the island directly missing it on its way toward Madagascar. First it threatened to hit Mauritius. Then its power was comparable with the American major hurricane because it produced a wind of the maximal average tempo of about 185 km per hour. How we experienced Berguita´s threatening attack will be a topic of some of next parts of my narration.<br />

Also the erosion of rocks may be influenced by a strong activity of Piton de la Fournaise, the still active volcano in the island. You have already had the chance to know it in two or three previous parts of the serial.<br />
In short, it was high time to solve this problem. Now approximately the first half of all the bridge´s length has been interconnected. In the mean time the second half has been pre-marked by several solitaire pillars. They have waited for their interconnections with the complete part of the bridge. This has been the way how the construction of the new road bridge has been elongated with each next pillar forward to its goal, i.e. to the end of the massive at the peripheral part of St. Denis the capital.<br />

Byl pro mne pozoruhodný z více aspektů. Byl krásný i nebezpečný a snad právě jeho nebezpečný charakter přiměl místní vládu k rozhodnutí vybudovat nějaké alternativní řešení.

Tímto úsekem jsme projížděli v obou směrech mnohokrát, ať to bylo ze St. Denis nebo do hlavního města ostrova, v celém průběhu našeho pobytu. Proto jsem mohl udělat hodně jeho fotek. Pokud jsme jeli tímto úsekem do hlavního města, pak jsme projížděli těsně kolem skalní bariéry, a jestliže jsme město nechávali za zády, pak jsme kolem skalní bariéry projížděli v trochu delším odstupu. Ostatně, můžete to vidět na mých obrázcích.<br />

Skalní bariéra je dlouhodobě vystavena různým erozním vlivům jako jsou např. vítr, teplota, vysoká relativní vzdušná vlhkost, srážky, palčivé sluneční paprsky a vegetace, která porůstá jeho stěny. Jak si myslím, eroze skalní stěny by snad mohla být rovněž urychlována vysokou frekvencí dopravy a její produkcí různých exhalátů. Různými nahodilými kombinacemi těchto vlivů má riziko padajících velkých skalních fragmentů na silnici vzrůstající tendenci.<br />

Samozřejmě, že se provádějí rozmanitá preventivní opatření podobně, jako se provádějí na celém světě tam, kde silnice probíhají kolem skalních stěn. My jsme je mohli pozorovat také na stěně skalního masivu tohoto silničního úseku na Reunionu. Ke skalním stěnám jsou na nejnebezpečnějších místech přichyceny drátěné sítě nebo se na skalním úpatí instalují kovové zábrany na zachycování padajících velkých skalních úlomků.<br />

Avšak, jak čas běží, ukazuje se, že všechna tato opatření jsou nedostatečná. Jak se domnívám, právě tohle vedlo k rozhodnutí vypořádat se s problémem radikálněji. Místní vláda se rozhodla vybudovat dlouhý most ve větší vzdálenosti od masivu a také od původní silnice. Tímto způsobem bude nová silnice na mostě vzdálena od skály dostatečně. A my jsme byli na správném místě v pravý čas, protože pokaždé, když jsme tímto úsekem staré silnice projížděli, mohli jsme pozorovat, jak postupná konstrukce elegantního stavebního projektu pokračuje.<br />

Proč ten most? Vysvětlení je zcela jasné. Bylo nemožné udělat to jinak, neboť stará silnice zabírá jedinou úzkou rovnou linii mezi masivem a Indickým oceánem. Pod silnicí je krátky svislý sráz, který spadá k moři. Pokud chtěli vystavět nový silniční úsek ve větší vzdálenosti od masivu, pak ho museli položit na most, který stojí v mořské vodě.<br />

V téhle oblasti Indického oceánu může destrukci skal silně ovlivňovat ještě jeden faktor. Tímto faktorem je cyklon. Naši kluci nezažili při svém prvním pobytu na Reunionu nic podobného. Na rozdíl od jejich prvního pobytu byla naše zkušenost s tímto ohromným větrným vírem kladná, i když, naštěstí, cyklon Berguita nezasáhl ostrov přímo a minul ho cestou k Madagaskaru. Nejdřív hrozil zasáhnout Mauricius. Tehdy byla jeho síla srovnatelná s americkým velkým hurikánem, protože produkoval vítr o maximálním průměrném tempu asi 185 km/h.. Jak jsme prožívali hrozící nápor Berguity bude tématem některého z dalších dílů mého vyprávění.<br />

Eroze skal snad může být ovlivňována také nějakou silnou aktivitou stále činné sopky Piton de la Fournaise na ostrově. Už jste měli možnost poznat ji ve dvou či třech předchozích dílech seriálu.<br />
Zkrátka, byl nejvyšší čas ten problém řešit. Teď přibližně polovina celé délky mostu je vzájemně propojena. Druhá polovina je prozatím předznamenána několika solitérními pilíři. Čekají na vzájemné propojení s kompletní částí mostu.<br />

St. Denis the metropolis of the Reunion left no special impressions in my mind in a similar way as it was with other towns in the island. Our two boys had been accommodated in it during their first stay at the island. They had liked to visit to a simple canteen in the town. They told me and Karel about an old woman owning the canteen. They had nicknamed her for themselves. She had been a little grandma to them. Robert and Venda claimed that she was an excellent cooker. Always there had been several meals in her offer. The boys did not spent with great compliments as for the little grandma´s cooking art.<br />

This was why one day while we were driving back to our base in St. Leu via St. Denis from some trip Venda did a short stop in a shabby street with the little grandma´s canteen. The boys wanted to see if the canteen and its owner were there yet. It was our first visit of the metropolis at all. We passed through suburban parts of the metropolis many times a time before but then first we left the car. While the boys started walking the street to the place where the canteen stood me and Karel stayed nearby the car observing our surroundings and photographing all what seemed to be interesting to us.<br />

In one moment we were passing by a lying and sleeping man. He slept rightly on a concrete pavement, his left shoe missed and he was exposed to the Sun directly without any efforts to find a shadowy place. It was a typical look at a drunken homeless man. In fact, to see the homeless people in the island was not any ordinary matter. At least this was the only case I could see somebody in such a drastic show. Of course, from time to time I met various strange people but I never saw them in a similar situation. This episode happened a while before than Venda found a temporary parking place for the car. Naturally, under the local conditions it was on a pavement.<br />

The street where me and Karel were waiting for our boys was as boring as it could be. But there was one building deserving more attention on our side of the street. It was built in a row of other cubes/houses and unlike them it was taller and more colorful, in short, it appeared to be the most exotic of all them. I crossed the street to the opposite side so that I could get the better view of it. Evidently it was either a Buddhist holy stand or a Hindu holy stand. Sorry but I have not been able to learn to tell one from the another so far. Maybe you can identify yourself which of the two religions the building belongs to.<br />

The drunken homeless man we passed by him a while before seemed to have European casts in his face but I saw him for a moment only to say it surely. While I was wandering about the street nearby our car I could observe more local people and I tried to photograph them in an unnoticeable way. I could catch some of them for the purpose of ethnographic samples. Mostly the people who I could observe by chance in the street seemed to be so called the Creoles, the long termed result of breeding the European races with members of various other nations having their origins in the Asia and the Africa (especially from Madagascar the island). The Creoles were smaller and brown/bronze tanned, their older women (mothers) with obese robust bodies decorated or deformed by big busts, bellies and buttocks. Often you could estimate only what were origins of their mothers and fathers. Simply, you could see a colorful scale of manifold skin hues ranging from black through brown, bronze, yellow to white to mean the basic ones at least. Really, this mix was incredible and I had no doubts that it was very interesting from the genetic point of view, too.<br />

The boys returned to the car for a short while because they learnt that the canteen existed but it was closed so that the question if the little grandma joined a good health remained to be opened.

Our next stop was done at the Indian Ocean still within St. Denis the capital. Again it was a peripheral part but unlike the previous one this was much neater with taller stony buildings, green parks, restaurants and parking lots. The main road leading in a parallel way with the coastline had more side roads turning at right angles from it towards internal urban parts located in slopes higher above the coastline. We were hungry and thirsty and the boys knew about one restaurant good for our goal. An advantage of this suburban part of St. Denis was that we could leave the capital easy with the way out of it at hand.<br />

On our way from a parking lot to the restaurant we could refresh our views of the capital after the previous experience with the dirty street with the closed canteen. The neat coastal line with the vast blue sea surface behind it, all the decorative urban green around us, the more open room and at least but not last the close vision of some good dinner in the solid restaurant made our minds happier.<br />
We passed by a taller monument with a figure facing to the Indian Ocean. The statue presented Roland Garros, the famous and honored personality both in Reunion and in France. As everybody knows the famous tennis tournament has been named after him, too. He has been a hero of the World War the First as an aviator. His aircraft was shot down in the end before his thirtieth birthday. His statue has stood on his pedestal together with the propeller of his crashed aircraft. Unfortunately, I found no writings in English on the pedestal. As I red in The Wikipedia some stories concerning his bold actions in The WW the First have not still been documented and then they have been legends rather than the real facts.<br />

The restaurant situated not so far from the Roland Garros monument had a pleasant long and roofed veranda where we could take our dinner. From our table with meals and drinks in front of me I could see a part of the Indian Ocean as well as a section of the main road leading to an imposing cliff and further running alongside its green long and vertical wall. I knew this was the road out of the capital or our back way to our base in St. Leu.<br />
And one short episode in the end of this part. While we were eating we were noticed something unusual what was passing the main road by the restaurant at our sights. It was a military convoy of several smaller armoured transporters. Probably they removed from one military base to another. This experience and three soldiers patrolling before the Roland Garros Airport after our arrival at Reunion showed me that this peaceful island has disposed its own military powers. Unfortunately, I could not take some pictures of the convoy immediately because I was employed fully by my meal on the table in that while. Of course, there was a chance to jumped up and to photograph the scene in motion but somehow I preferred eating to photographing.<br />

St. Denis, hlavní město Reunionu v mé mysli nezanechalo žádné zvláštní dojmy podobně jako tomu bylo u jiných měst na ostrově. Oba naši hoši v něm byli během svého prvního pobytu na ostrově ubytováni. Rádi navštěvovali jednu prostou jídelnu ve městě. Mně a Karlovi vyprávěli o stařeně, která kantýnu vlastnila. Přezdili si ji pro sebe. Pro ně byla babičkou. Robert s Vendou tvrdili, že byla vynikající kuchařka. V její nabídce bylo vždy několik jídel. Hoši nešetřili velkými komplimenty pokud jde o babiččino kuchařské umění.<br />

Proto jednou, zatímco jsme se přes St. Denis vraceli na základnu v St. Leu z nějakého výletu, udělal Venda krátkou zastávku v ošuntělé ulici s babiččinou jídelnou. Hoši chtěli zjistit, zda jídelna a její majitelka stále existují. Byla to naše první návštěva metropole vůbec. Předměstskými částmi metropole jsme projížděli nějaký čas před tím mnohokrát, ale tehdy jsme z auta vystoupili poprvé.<br />
Zatímco kluci se rozešli k místu, kde stála jídelna, já s Karlem jsme zůstali poblíž auta, pozorovali jsme okolí a fotili si vše, co se nám zdálo být zajímavé.<br />

V jedné chvíli jsme projížděli kol ležícího a spícího člověka. Spal přímo na betonovém chodníku, levá bota mu chyběla a byl slunci vystaven přímo, bez jakékoliv snahy vyhledat stinné místo. Byl to typický pohled na opilého bezdomovce. Ve skutečnosti, spatřit bezdomáče na ostrově nebylo žádnou běžnou záležitostí. Přinejmenším tohle byl jediný případ, kdy jsem někoho mohl vidět v tak drastické ukázce. Ovšem, že jsem občas potkával různé podivné lidi, ale nikdy jsem je nepozoroval v podobné situaci. Tato epizoda se odehrála chvíli před tím, než Venda našel přechodné parkovací místo pro auto. Přirozeně, že za místních podmínek to bylo na chodníku.<br />

Ulice, kde jsme s Karlem čekali na kluky, byla nejnudnější, jak mohla. Ale na naší straně ulice byla budova, která si zasloužila víc pozornosti. Byla vestavěna do řady jiných kostek/domů a na rozdíl od nich byla vyšší a barevnější, zkrátka vypadala z nich všech nejvíc exoticky. Přešel jsem ulici na protější stranu, abych na ni získal lepší výhled. Evidentně to byl buď budhistický svatý stánek nebo hinduistický svatý stánek. Omlouvám se, ale prozatím jsem se nedokázal naučit rozlišit jedno od druhého. Snad sami dokážete určit, ke kterému náboženství ta stavba náleží.<br />

Zdálo se, že opilý bezdomovec, kterého jsme chvíli před tím míjeli, má ve tváři evropské rysy, ale viděl jsem ho jen na moment, aby se to dalo říci jistě. Zatímco jsem bloumal ulicí poblíž auta, mohl jsem pozorovat více místních lidí a snažil jsem se je nenápadně fotit. Některé z nich se mi podařilo zachytit za účelem etnografických vzorků. Většinou se zdálo, že lidé, které jsem mohl nahodile v ulici pozorovat, jsou tzv. Kreolové, dlouhodobý výsledek křížení evropských ras s příslušníky jiných národů s původem v Asii a Africe (zvláště z Madagaskaru). Kreolové byli menší a do hněda či bronzově opálení, starší ženy (matky) s obézními robustními těly dekorovanými či deformovanými velkým poprsím, břichy a zadky. Často jsem mohl jen odhadovat, jakého původu jsou jejich matky a otcové. Mohli jste prostě pozorovat pestrobarevnou škálu rozmanitých odstínů pleti od černého přes hnědý, bronzový, žlutý po bílý, abych zmínil aspoň ty základní. Tahle směs byla opravdu neuvěřitelná a nemám pochyb, že je velmi zajímavá i z genetického hlediska.<br />

Další zastávku jsme udělali u Indického oceánu, pořád v St. Denis. Zase to byla periferní část, ale na rozdíl od té předchozí, tahle byla mnohem upravenější s vyššími kamennými budovami, zelenými parky, restauracemi a parkovišti. Hlavní silnice, která vedla souběžně s pobřežím, měla další postranní silnice odbočující od ní v pravých úhlech do vnitřních městských částí lokalizovaných výše ve svazích nad pobřežní linií. Měli jsme hlad a žízeň a hoši věděli o jedné restauraci dobré pro náš záměr. Výhodou této předměstské části St. Denis bylo, že jsme mohli město snadno opustit s cestou z něj po ruce.<br />

Cestou z parkoviště k restauraci jsme mohli osvěžit pohledy na hlavní město po zkušenosti se špinavou ulicí se zavřenou jídelnou. Upravená pobřežní čára s nesmírnou modrou mořskou hladinou za sebou, všechna ta ozdobná městská zeleň kolem nás, otevřenější prostor a v neposlední řadě blízká vize nějakého dobrého jídla v solidní restauraci činily naši mysl šťastnější.<br />
Procházeli jsme kolem vyššího pomníku s postavou hledící k Indickému oceánu. Socha představovala Rolanda Garrose, slavnou a ctěnou osobnost na Reunionu i ve Francii. Jak každý ví, také slavný turnaj v tenise je po něm pojmenován. Byl hrdinou I Světové Války jako letec. Před třicátými narozeninami bylo jeho letadlo nakonec sestřeleno. Jeho socha stojí na podstavci spolu s vrtulí z jeho zříceného aeroplánu. Bohužel jsem na podstavci nenašel žádné nápisy v angličtině. Jak jsem se dočetl ve Wikipedii, některé historky, jež se týkají jeho chrabrých akcí, nejsou stále doloženy, a tudíž jsou spíše legendami než reálnými fakty.<br />

Restaurace situovaná nedaleko od pomníku Rolanda Garrose měla příjemnou dlouhou a zastřešenou verandu, kde jsme se mohli najíst. Od našeho stolu s jídlem a pitím přede mnou jsem se mohl dívat na část Indického oceánu a rovněž na úsek hlavní silnice, která vedla k impozantnímu útesu a dále běžela podél jeho zelené táhlé a vertikální stěny. Věděl jsem, že tohle je silnice z města či naše zpáteční cesta na základnu v St. Leu.<br />
A jedna krátká epizoda v závěru téhle části. Zatímco jsme jedli, povšimli jsme si čehosi neobvyklého, co projíždělo hlavní silnicí kol restaurace v našem dohledu. Byl to vojenský konvoj o několika menších obrněných transportérech. Pravděpodobně se přemísťovaly z jedné vojenské základny na druhou. Tento zážitek a tři vojáci patrolující před Letištěm Rolanda Garrose po našem příletu mi ukázaly, že tento mírumilovný ostrov disponuje vlastními vojenskými silami. Bohužel jsem nemohl udělat obrázky konvoje bezprostředně, neboť jsem se v té chvíli plně zaměstnával svým jídlem na stole. Samozřejmě, že byla možnost vyskočit a scénu v pohybu si nafotit, ale jaksi jsem dal přednost jídlu před focením.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01901300396804586280noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6262719897332666543.post-91630927156617387642018-04-09T02:13:00.000-07:002018-04-09T02:13:41.563-07:00<br />

The water fall I am going to write about was the biggest one what I could see in the island. The boys have had seen it already during their first stay at Reunion. Also they told about one locality with smaller or narrower falls falling down from vertical rocky walls separately but somehow it happened that we never came to them. From time to time and by accident we encountered on a narrow and long stream going a steep rocky wall down somewhere at a distance and partly veiled by wild vegetation and in one case I could listen to a noise of a falling water without I could see it as I have already meant it in the first part of my serial.<br />

Well, no wonder that the island has been rich in many water falls with its mountainous inland and abundant falls. Frequently water finding its way down to the Indian Ocean from the top parts of the mountains continuously veiled in clouds and mist can´t do nothing else than to jump some stretches of its way down. Besides often the steep terrain consists of various forms of the lava rock due to the volcano origin of the island. By this way very often water is forced to come out of crevices or holes in the vertical walls.<br />

But this was not the case of our water fall. As we were approaching to this water curiosity its top was at our sights but the rest of its fall was made invisible by surrounding tall vegetation growing alongside both sides of a field path. Venda stopped the car in a parking lot not too far away from the object of our interest. All the course of its fall down I could see already through the front window of the car a moment before than I got out. The look was very monumental. I was looking at a long rocky massive forming a continuous barrier in front of me. Its top rim rose up both to the left and to the right side from a lower section in its center. While the rocky barrier kept a direct way to my left side it turned itself almost at the right angle to my right side towards me and then it continued on turning itself directly to the right side again. This semi-pocket formed by the rocky barrier determined the direction of water flow after its fall down from the rock.<br />

Water accumulated itself in a shallow pool or a natural smaller lake under the fall and it was blocked by the rocky barrier to the left side. It could flowed away freely from the shallow lake alongside the rocky barrier on the opposite side where it formed a stream of about three or four meters wide. The water in both the smaller lake and the stream was clear and translucent so that you could look through its surface at stony bed. Perhaps I glanced one or two minute fish in water of the silently streaming flow but the memory has already been blurred and now I can´t say it with certainty.<br />

We sat down in a shadow of a taller vegetation with a free view of the water fall and the smaller lake under it. Our place was separated from the natural smaller pool by a wider band of a stony and sandy bank. No crowds of people were around the water fall at the time of our arrival but a time later their numbers increased up a bit. We three smokers were smoking and observing the water fall and its surroundings. At the same time while Robert were preparing The Flying Tarantula for its fly I was attaching GoPro the camera to my forehead. Karel wanted to take a bathe in the smaller lake under the water fall. There was no man in its water. Venda was wandering about the pool and he was photographing the water fall.<br />

Karel did not hesitate and he exchanged his clothing for his swimsuit. Then he stood up and he started stepping the stony bank over to the pool. He was walking carefully because the surface was full of smaller and bigger stones. Nothing pleasant to his naked feet. There was no warning panel prohibiting any enter into water in the vicinity of the water fall. A moment later Karel entered the water and he was going deeper in it slowly toward the water fall. Water reached up to his chest as he stopped his advance forward. He found himself nearby the water fall as close as possible he could. Any next advance forward would have been risky because water was falling down from the height of about fifty meters. Karel was standing in water reaching up to his chest and his upper part of body above the surface was whipped by fine but dense water springing. We could see that he was satisfied and evidently he was enjoying his favorite water element.<br />

Robert sent The Flying Tarantula to the air to monitor the water fall as well as the Karel´s bathing in the tight contact with the water fall from above. Also I got up and I set up to explore the immediate surroundings of the pool and the water fall with GoPro the camera at work. First I went to the blind side of the pool to the left from the water fall. While GoPro the camera attached to my forehead was taking audio video recording I was taking some pictures by my smart phone, too. Then I turned myself and I was walking alongside the margin of the pool to its opposite side with the stream taking water from the pool away. As I found myself in front of the water fall I stopped for a while to record all its course from down to up. Naturally, I could not see behind its top point from my position. This was the right work for my Flying Tarantula under control of my son. He was lifting it higher and higher till it hovered over the water fall. As we could see on its video recordings a time later the water fall was fed by a stream similar to the one flowing under the rocky massive. Unlike its lower flow with banks covered with a vegetation the upper stretch of the flow was rocky and it streamed faster than the lower one.<br />

I payed my attention to the rocky walls. I noticed they were covered with a vegetation sporadically in the vicinity of the falling water down. The growth was denser on the vertical walls at the longer distance from the water fall. Despite this fact I could see several green strips falling down against the wall next to the water fall. I tried to catch them at the closest views with Nikon the camera but because they were behind the water springing their pictures were not much clear. I ascribed the green strips to a flowering species of a plant rather than to a moss or a liver wort (<i>Marchantia polymorpha </i>for example).<br />

As I was walking alongside the margin of the pool towards the stream and this held true of all the course of our stay at the water fall continuously I could observe more numbers of various birds flying around the water cascade. Often they landed on some of many rocky narrow ledges in the vertical rocky walls nearby it. Maybe some were nesting in the inaccessible places, too.<br />

The imposing impression of the mighty water fall was increased by its sound thundering in a deafening way. Every moment strong windy attacks came from the left side alongside the rocky massive. They were bumping at the rocky folder standing them in their way to the right side and they were turning itself back to the water fall. The stronger windy attacks caused temporary deviations of the falling water down to the left side. No wonder then that from time to time I found myself in a fine water springing and a time later we could see it on audio video recordings of GoPro the camera.<br />

A while later Venda decided to join Karel in water of the pool, too. I lent GoPro the camera to him so that he could record some shots rightly from an immediate vicinity of the water fall. There were more people in the pool at that time already. As we could see Karel was a pioneer and a moment later he had his followers. As I was wandering about the stream´s bank I noticed a lonely woman standing in its water up to her waist. Her things were laying at the bank´s edge. Obviously she was enjoining it preferring the stream´s calmer water to the wilder water of the pool.<br />
To be able to see this attraction and at the same time to be able to take a bathe in its vicinity with no risk made tourists happier I thought to myself as I was sitting again in our temporary shadowy camp. The shadow was cast by a green growth behind me. At the first glance it resembled a willow to me. Maybe I got this association in the vicinity of the water source but at the closer examination I could see that mostly the growth consisted of a bamboo. You see, the banks of ponds, pools and other flows in Czech republic have often been favorite places to various species of the willows to grow.<br />

When Venda and Karel left water and we all came together in our temporary camping place again the time came up to finish up our stay at the beautiful water fall. I recall that I left the place as last one and I noticed Karel´s swimsuit laying on a smaller stone. I took it and a moment later I handed it to its surprising owner at the car.<br />

Vodopád, o němž se chystám psát, byl největší, jaký jsem na ostrově mohl vidět. Kluci už ho viděli při prvním pobytu na Reunionu. Vyprávěli také o jedné lokalitě s menšími a užšími vodopády, které spadají z kolmých skalních stěn odděleně, ale nějak se stalo, že jsme k nim nikdy nezajeli. Občas a nahodile jsme natrefili na nějaký úzký a dlouhý tok, který stékal strmou skalní stěnou někde v dálce a zčásti zahalený vegetací a v jednom případě jsem mohl naslouchat hluku padající vody, aniž bych ji mohl vidět, jak už jsem to zmínil v první části svého seriálu.<br />

Při svém hornatém vnitrozemí a hojných srážkách není divu, že je ostrov bohatý na mnoho vodopádů. Často voda, která si hledá cestu dolů do Indického oceánu z nejvyšších částí hor neustále zahalených v mracích a mlze, nemůže dělat nic jiného, než některé úseky své cesty seskakovat. Strmý terén navíc, díky vulkanickému původu ostrova, často sestává z rozmanitých forem lávy. Tímto způsobem je voda často nucena vyvěrat ze štěrbin či děr v kolmých skalních stěnách.<br />

Tohle však nebyl případ našeho vodopádu. Jak jsme se k téhle vodní kuriozitě blížili, její vršek byl v dohledu, ale zbytek jejího spádu zneviditelňovala vysoká okolní vegetace, která rostla po obou stranách terénní cesty. Venda zastavil auto na parkovišti nepříliš vzdáleném od objektu našeho zájmu. Celý průběh jeho spádu jsem mohl vidět už přes přední sklo vozu chvíli před tím, než jsem vystoupil. Ten pohled byl velice monumentální. Hleděl jsem na dlouhý skalní masiv, který přede mnou tvořil nepřetržitou bariéru. Její vrcholový okraj se zvedal na levou i pravou stranu od nižší části ve středu. Zatímco po mé levé straně si masivní bariéra udržovala přímý směr, po mé pravé straně směrem ke mně se stáčela skoro v pravém úhlu a poté se dále znovu stáčela přímo na pravou stranu. Tato zpola kapsa tvořená skalní bariérou určovala další směr vodního toku po dopadu ze skály.<br />

Voda se hromadila v mělké tůni či přírodním jezírku pod spádem a vpravo ji hradila skalní bariéra. Mohla volně odtékat z mělkého jezírka podél skalní hradby na opačné straně, kde vytvářela potok široký asi tři nebo čtyři metry. Voda v jezírku i v potoce byla čistá a průhledná, takže jste se skrze její hladinu mohli dívat na kamenité dno. Možná jsem zahlédl pár drobných rybek ve vodě toho tiše proudícího toku, ale paměť už je rozmazaná a teď to s jistotou prohlásit nemohu.<br />

Sedli jsme si ve stínu vyšší vegetace s volným výhledem na vodopád a jezírko pod ním. Naše místo bylo od přírodní tůňky odděleno širším pásem kamenitého a písčitého břehu. V době našeho příjezdu nebyly kolem vodopádu žádné davy lidí, ale po čase se jejich počet trochu zvýšil. My tři kuřáci jsme pokuřovali a pozorovali vodopád a jeho okolí. Současně, zatímco Robert chystal k letu Létající Tarantuli, já si upevňoval k čelu kamerku GoPro. Karel se chtěl v jezírku pod vodopádem vykoupat. Ve vodě žádný člověk nebyl. Venda se potuloval kol tůňky a fotil vodopád.<br />

Karel neváhal a převlékl se do plavek. Pak se zvedl a rozešel se přes kamenitý břeh k tůni. Šel opatrně, protože povrch byl plný menších a větších kamenů. Nic příjemného pro jeho bosé nohy. V blízkosti vodopádu nebyla žádná varovná tabule zakazující vstup do vody. O chvíli později vstoupil Karel do vody a pomalu do ní zacházel hlouběji směrem k vodopádu. Voda mu sahala po prsa, když postup vpřed zastavil. Nacházel se opodál vodopádu, co nejblíž mohl. Jakýkoliv další postup vpřed by býval riskantní, protože voda spadala z výšky asi padesáti metrů. Karel stál ve vodě, která mu sahala po prsa a horní část těla nad hladinou mu bičovala jemná, ale hustá vodní tříšť. Viděli jsme, že je spokojený a evidentně si svého oblíbeného vodního živlu užívá.<br />

Robert poslal Létající Tarantuli do vzduchu, aby monitorovala vodopád a také Karlovo koupání v těsném kontaktu s vodopádem shora. Také já jsem se zvedl a vydal se prozkoumat bezprostřední okolí tůně s vodopádem s kamerkou GoPro v chodu. Nejdřív jsem došel ke slepé straně tůně nalevo od vodopádu. Zatímco GoPro kamerka uchycená na mém čele pořizovala audio video záznam, já také fotil chytrým mobilem. Poté jsem se obrátil a kráčel jsem podél okraje tůně k její protější straně s potokem, který vodu z tůně odváděl. Když jsem se ocitl před vodopádem, na chvíli jsem se zastavil, abych zaznamenal celý jeho průběh zdola nahoru. Přirozeně, že jsem ze svého postavení nemohl vidět za jeho nejvyšší bod. Tohle byla ta pravá práce pro Létající Tarantuli řízenou synem. Zvedal ji výš a výš, dokud se nevznášela nad vodopádem. Jak jsme později mohli vidět na jejích video záznamech, vodopád napájel podobný potok jako ten, co tekl pod skalním masivem. Na rozdíl od dolního toku s břehy porostlými vegetací, horní úsek toku byl skalnatý a proudil rychleji než dolní.<br />

Pozornost jsem věnoval skalním stěnám. Všiml jsem si, že jsou v blízkosti vodopádu porostlé vegetací sporadicky. Porost byl na kolmých stěnách hustší ve větší vzdálenosti od vodopádu. Vzdor tomu faktu jsem mohl vidět několik zelených pruhů, které spadaly při stěně vedle vodopádu. Snažil jsem se je zachytit v nejbližších pohledech Nikonem, ale protože byly za vodní tříští, nejsou jejich obrázky moc jasné. Ty zelené pruhy jsem spíše než mechu či játrovce (např. porostnice mnohotvárná - <i>Marchantia polymorpha</i>) připisoval nějaké kvetoucí rostlině.<br />

Jak jsem kráčel podél okraje tůně k potoku, a tohle platilo o celém průběhu našeho pobytu u vodopádu, mohl jsem neustále pozorovat větší počty různých ptáků, kteří poletovali kol té vodní kaskády. Často přistávali na některé z mnoha skalních úzkých říms v kolmých skalních stěnách poblíž ní. Možná, že někteří v těch nepřístupných místech i hnízdili.<br />

Impozantní dojem z mocného vodopádu byl zvyšován jeho zvukem, který ohlušujícně hřměl. Každou chvíli přilétaly z levé strany podél skalního masivu silné větrné poryvy. Narážely na skalní záhyb, který jim stál napravo v cestě, a obracely se nazpět k vodopádu. Ty silné větrné poryvy způsobovaly odchylky spadající vody doleva. Žádný div tedy, že jsem se občas ocital v jemné vodní tříšti a po čase jsme to mohli vidět na audio vido záznamu kamerky GoPro.<br />

Po chvíli se i Venda rozhodl přidat ke Karlovi ve vodě tůně. Půjčil jsem mu GoPro, aby mohl nahrát záběry přímo z bezprostřední blízkosti vodopádu. V tom čase už bylo v tůni víc lidí. Jak jsme pozorovali, Karel byl průkopník a po chvíli měl své následovníky. Když jsem se potuloval po břehu potoka, všiml jsem si osamělé ženy, která stála po pás ve vodě. Její věci ležely na kraji břehu. Zjevně si to užívala, dávaje přednost klidnější vodě potoka před divočejší vodou jezírka.<br />
Když jsem zase seděl v našem dočasném stinném táboře, pomyslel jsem si, že moci vidět tuhle atrakci a současně se moci v její blízkosti bez rizika vykoupat činí turisty šťastnějšími. Stín vrhal zelený porost za mnou. Na první pohled mi připomínal vrbu. Možná jsem tuhle asociaci dostal v blízkosti vodního zdroje, ale při bližší prohlídce jsem zjistil, že většina toho porostu sestává z bambusu. To víte, břehy rybníků, tůní a jiných toků v České republice jsou často oblíbenými místy, na nichž rostou různé druhy vrb.<br />

Když Venda s Karlem opustili vodu a všichni jsme se zase sešli na našem přechodném kempovišti, nadešel čas pobyt u krásného vodopádu ukončit. Vzpomínám, že jsem z místa odcházel jako poslední a všiml jsem si Karlových plavek ležících na menším kameni. Vzal jsem je a po chvíli jsem je předal jejich překvapenému majiteli u auta.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01901300396804586280noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6262719897332666543.post-65082029183005502062018-03-30T02:31:00.000-07:002018-03-30T02:31:43.208-07:00<br />

I took most of the photos from our driving car during all the comeback. First you can see several shots of the landscape from the section behind the field path. Though the stretch was barren I could find a lot of interesting motives in it continuously.<br />

I tried to catch some views of the landscape in various next turns of the continuous way but mostly they were veiled by clouds. Of course, we were going the standard road in this phase of the drive again.<br />

At the top level the drive was up and down but then the road began to decrease in longer turns lower and lower and the views of a surrounding landscape became more open and more visible. Venda did one stop in a medial part of the vast slopes next to the road. The place was not empty. The right side was forested nearby the road and we could see the typical open sittings under the conical little roofs among tree trunks. They were crowded by groups of people taking a rest or doing a picnic. One solo roofed sitting was on the opposite side of the road as well. The margin of the opposite side was not screened by any tall growth thus giving nice views of the surrounding highlands stretching out deeper under us. The sitting on the opposite side was occupied by a family with one or two smaller children. There were yet two curious things to see on the other side. A clear red old steam roller stood there next to the road like a monument. It screened our views of the family a bit. The second curiosity was a big van or the way of its parking position rather than the car itself. It was taking a slanted position with its front wheels resting on a low smaller rock to the right from the steam roller.<br />
First I made use of the stop to satisfied my previously suppressed need in a bushy growth nearby the road and then I sat down on a grassy place next to our car. I lighted a cigarette and I enjoyed the views of the highlands. The Sun high in the blue sky was burning our faces and arms. It was such an idle while. I have still recalled it with a great pleasure.<br />

Then we continued on in our drive lower and lower through the highlands. From time to time I could glance slanted pastures with herds of cows and more human dwellings began to appear at our sights.<br />
The transition from the more open landscape with hills, forests and pastures to the smaller villages or settlements was fluent and unnoticeable. Gradually the car found itself in a final phase of its drive, i.e. in suburban parts of St. Pierre the town stretching out in the steeper slopes above the coastline.<br />
The boys relied on the GPS navigation. A women´s voice coming out of this invention offered the most effective shortcuts in the actual terrain so that Venda was not forced to use the main and longer road leading to the downtown in the slower way. Often the shortcuts were steep direct narrow lanes and often Venda had doubts about some of them because at the first glance they seemed to be the blind ones but in the end they turned as to be relevant alternatives. Each of the slanted shortcuts was accelerating our climb down to the lower parts of the town.<br />

We wanted to buy something to eat and therefore Venda turned the car to a suburban part where a big supermarket Carefour stood. There was a large parking lot in front of the monstrous trade building but it was almost empty. On Sunday in an evening time we could not expect anything else because the seventh day of the week all the shops were closed in the island. Despite this we tried it thinking that the big supermarket could be opened at least. A time later we succeeded in buying some basal items in one shop at a gasoline pump. Namely, this was the only exception from the rule.<br />
We stayed at the supermarket for a while. While my three partners were sitting in a shadowy place next to the supermarket´s wall I was walking the parking lot about and I was examining and photographing young palms. They were a main decorative element of the large parking lot. Some bore clusters of red fruits at bases of their leafy crowns.<br />
This was last episode on our back way to our base in St Leu the town.<br />

Na nejvyšší úrovni byla jízda nahoru a dolů, ale potom začala silnice klesat v táhlejších zatáčkách níž a níž a výhledy na okolní krajinu se stávaly otevřenější a viditelnější. Venda udělal jednu zastávku ve střední části rozsáhlých svahů vedle silnice. Místo nebylo prázdné. Pravá strana byla opodál silnice zalesněná a my jsme mohli mezi kmeny stromů vidět typická otevřená sezení pod kuželovitými stříškami. Zaplňovaly je skupiny lidí, kteří odpočívali nebo piknikovali. Jedno zastřešené sezení bylo také na protější straně silnice. Okraj protější strany neclonil žádný vysoký porost, čímž tak poskytoval hezké výhledy na okolní vysočinu, která se rozprostírala hlouběji pod námi. Sezení na opačné straně zaujímala rodinka s jedním či dvěma menšími dětmi. Na druhé straně byly k vidění ještě dvě zvláštnosti. Vedle silnice tam stál jako pomník jasně červený starý parní válec. Trochu nám clonil výhledy na rodinku. Druhou kuriozitou byl velký náklaďák či spíše než auto samo jeho způsob parkovací pozice. Zaujímal šikmé postavení s předními koly spočívajícími na nízké skalce napravo od parního válce.<br />
Nejdřív jsem zastávky využil k uspokojení dříve potlačené potřeby v křovitém porostu opodál silnice a poté jsem se usadil na travnaté místo vedle auta. Zapálil jsem si cigaretu a užíval si výhledů na vysočinu. Slunce vysoko na modré obloze nám spalovalo tváře a paže. Byla to taková idylická chvilka. Pořád na ni s velkým potěšením vzpomínám.<br />

Poté jsme pokračovali v jízdě níž a níž vysočinou. Tu a tam jsem mohl zahlédnout šikmé pastviny se stády krav a v dohledu se začalo objevovat více lidských obydlí. Přechod od otevřenější krajiny s pahorky, lesy a pastvinami k menším vískám či osadám byl plynulý a nenápadný. Auto se postupně ocitalo ve finální fázi jízdy, tj. v předměstských částech městečka St. Pierre, které se prostíraly ve strmějších svazích nad pobřežní linií. Kluci spoléhali na GPS navigaci. Ženský hlas vycházející z tohoto vynálezu nabízel v aktuálním terénu ty nejefektivnější zkratky, takže Venda nemusel používat hlavní a delší silnici vedoucí do města pomaleji. Zkratky byly často strmé přímé úzké uličky a Venda měl často pochyby o některých z nich, protože na první pohled se zdálo, že jsou slepé, ale nakonec se ukazovaly jako relevantní alternativy. Každá z těch šikmých zkratek náš sestup do nižších částí města urychlovala.<br />

Chtěli jsme koupit něco k jídlu, a proto Venda stočil auto do předměstské části, kde stál velký supermarket Carefour. Před monstrózní obchodní budovou bylo velké parkoviště, ale bylo téměř prázdné. V neděli navečer jsme nemohli očekávat nic jiného, protože sedmý den v týdnu jsou všechny obchody na ostrově zavřené. Přesto jsme to zkusili v domnění, že alespoň velký supermarket by mohl být otevřený. Později jsme v nákupu nějakých základních položek uspěli v krámku u benzínové pumpy. Tohle totiž byla jediná výjimka z pravidla.<br />
Chvíli jsme se u supermarketu zdrželi. Zatímco moji tři parťáci seděli na stinném místě vedle zdi supermarketu, já se procházel parkovištěm a prohlížel si a fotil mladé palmy. Byly jakýmsi hlavním zdobným prvkem rozlehlého parkoviště. Některé nesly při bázích listových korun shluky červených plodů.<br />

The road´s stretch under the slant with the resting place changed itself. Its smooth asphalt surface became more rough with a lot of holes and other irregularities. Venda had to make the speed lower avoiding the biggest holes. Fortunately, our rented car was adapted to the rougher terrains and so we could continued on in our way to the main crater with no troubles. In one moment we were passing by a lesser happy driver with its car in troubles next to the field path. And from time to time Venda overrun some extra slow and careful drivers.<br />

I could see the surrounding terrain of the vast lava rock plain with various outcrops and I did not cease photographing though the car was jumping up and down on the rough surface.<br />
At the first glance and at a distance the lava rocky plain seemed to be with no life but as we were passing through it I could observe starting sprouts of vegetation on this inhospitable surface, too. There were clusters of the dwarfed bushes or trees in places. I photographed them in the surroundings of the resting place already and several few species of herbs grew out of crevices of the terrain. And if I compared this terrain with the one of the South East lava rock slopes I could not say they were the same. Unlike the latter the structure of this one did not resemble neither a wrinkled elephant´s skin no cattle´s increments to me. This surface looked like a baked crust of a big cake with various cracks and fissures.<br />

One of the photos of this part catches a solo lava rock with a shallow cave or a niche carved in its side. While we were passing by it to our left side I could observe parking motorcycles at the edge of the field path and their owners taking a rest in the shadowy niche.<br />
The traffic on this way was neither dense nor sporadic as you can see on my photos here.<br />

To reach the parking lot where our way finished up took about a half of a hour. Venda parked the car next to other vehicles and we got out of it. I looked around myself. It was a platform with the usual dwarfed vegetation growing in the parking lot´s surroundings. There was two or three smaller houses nearby the parking lot. I could see a lot of tops of various mountains surrounding the platform at all directions. Understandably, we interested in the main crater of Piton de la Fournaise the volcano. To see it was not difficult. Several steps from the parking lot was enough and we stood up at a long barrier with the smaller houses behind our backs. Then we continued in our walking alongside the barrier together with other visitors. There was a steep slant covered with low bushy growth behind the barrier. Simply we were walking alongside the barrier and we were stopping in the places where the overview of the main crater seemed to be interesting to us in a way. Mostly the vegetation behind the barrier was not tall and then we could see all the panoramas very well.<br />

There was something surrealistic in the scenery in front of our eyes. I am going to try to depict it to you as best as possible I can do it. I was standing at the barrier and I was gazing at an imposing picture. I gazed at a vast plain, it was red and brown in color and limited by vertical walls of two massive long rocky blocks to my right side and to my left side. Besides the plain was spreading out lower under me because the overview was a part of the long massive rocky block to my right hand. Rightly in front of me at a distance I could see that the massive rocky barrier continued on but the terrain on the horizon of the picture allowed you to see its upper line only. In fact the tall vertical and massive rocky barrier formed a continuous circle surrounding all the vast plain with the main crater.<br />

This collapsed circular plain under me was not anything else than the huge caldera, i.e. the geological expression for the typical consequences of the long-termed activities of the volcano. An approximate center of the caldera was occupied by the hill of the current main crater. If you studied the plain in the more detailed way then you could not omit an oval thing in the plain between the hill of the main crater and the vertical rocky wall to the left side. This interesting thing was one of the most noticeable side craters within the caldera. As I learnt a time later each of the marked components of the caldera had their own names. This side crater has named the Ant Lion and, as I think, the name has been very apt to it. Everybody who knows the ant lion´s trap will confirm it as soon as he or she looks at my photos of this object. The Ant Lion consisted of a lower oval margin and a pitch in its center. I could observe tiny figures walking its oval margin as well as I could see some human miniature figures walking across the plain heading for the main crater. Yes, the climb down to caldera was permitted. If you wanted to try taking a walk in the caldera you could realize it. But the trip from the margin of the caldera to the top of the main crater meant to cover a distance of several kilometers. The younger half of our team considered this idea but in the end it was left it because the trip would have taken several hours and the older half, i.e. me and Karel, would have been forced to wait for them for all the long time.<br />

We continued on in our walking alongside the barrier further till we walked to the section where the terrain rose up in a short rocky climb up. On its top we finished our next advance forward.<br />
When we enjoyed views of the caldera from this taller part of the caldera´s rim we stepped the short stony slant down again and we took a sit on benches under the slant next to the path leading alongside the barrier. Here again I asked Karel for to photograph me sitting on the top of the barrier. Thanks to his kindness now you can see my memory of this moment. In a moment I noticed a small bird sitting on a branch of the growth behind the barrier. Using Nikon the camera I took two or three pictures of it at the higher resolution. It was my next modest hunt to my photo-collection of the local birds. Its scientific name has remained to be unknown to me.<br />
Also I could observe a small flock of the sparrow like birds in this place. While I was standing nearby the benches suddenly they began to land on my Nikon the camera. Three or four birds of the species were waving their wings trying to take a rest on the camera. Of course, they could not occupied the small apparatus in such numbers at one time. They were flattering their wings slipping on the smooth surface down and their songs did not express anything joyful. Obviously their way of communication was wrangling. I had the smart phone with me but as soon as I tried to photograph them they flew away. At least I knew that they occurred at this altitude, too.<br />

A while later we walked slowly to the smaller houses nearby the parking lot. The enter into them was free. You could examine a nice exposition devoted to Piton de la Fournaise the volcano in detail in the interior of the smaller houses. Many panels were hanging on the walls. They described all the history and geology of the volcano including its wider surroundings in detail in short texts with a lot of schemes and educative pictures. Two three dimensional models of the volcano and its surroundings were installed on two lower tables. And you could photograph all the informational flood freely. Me and Venda made use of the chance fully. There was a small shop inside, too. You could buy either some fast food or some souvenirs or some volcano´s prospects there. But we bought nothing of their offers.<br />
Outdoor again I wanted to use the local toilets immediately connected with the previous houses but they smelled bad so awfully that I postponed my need for some stop in wild in the course of our drive back to St. Leu.<br />

Úsek silnice pod svahem s odpočívadlem se změnil. Jeho asfaltový povrch zhrubnul spoustou výmolů a jiných nepravidelností. Venda musel snížit rychlost a vyhýbat se největším dolíkům. Naše pronajaté auto bylo naštěstí hrubším terénům přizpůsobeno, takže jsme mohli v cestě k hlavnímu kráteru pokračovat bez potíží. V jednom okamžiku jsme projížděli kol méně šťastného řidiče s autem v nesnázích vedle té polní cesty. A občas Venda předjížděl některé extra pomalé a opatrné řidiče.<br />

Mohl jsem pozorovat okolní terén rozsáhlé lávové planiny s různými horninovými výstupy a neustával jsem fotit, třebaže auto na drsném terénu nadskakovalo.<br />
Na první pohled a na dálku se zdálo, že planina je bez života, ale jak jsme skrze ni projížděli, mohl jsem pozorovat začínající výhonky vegetace rovněž na tomto nehostinném povrchu. Místy byly shluky zakrslých keřů či stromů, které jsem fotil již v okolí odpočívadla a několik málo bylin, které vyrůstaly ze štěrbin terénu. A když jsem tento terén porovnával s terénem JV lávových svahů, nemohl jsem prohlásit, že jsou stejné. Na rozdíl od posledně jmenovaného mi struktura tohoto nepřipomínala ani vrásčitou sloní kůži ani exkrementy dobytka. Tento povrch vypadal jako vypečená krusta velikého koláče s různými prasklinami a spárami.<br />

Jedna z fotek této části zachycuje solitérní lávovou skálu s mělkou jeskyní či výklenkem vykrojeným v jejím boku. Zatímco jsme kol něj projížděli po naší levé straně, mohl jsem pozorovat parkující motocykly při okraji polní cesty a jejich majitele odpočívající ve stinném výklenku. Jak na mých fotkách zde můžete vidět, doprava na cestě nebyla ani hustá ani řídká.<br />

Dosažení parkoviště, kde cesta končila, trvalo asi půl hodiny. Venda zaparkoval auto vedle ostatních vozidel a vystoupili jsme z něj. Rozhlížel jsem se kol sebe. Byla to plošina s obvyklou zakrslou vegetací rostoucí v okolí parkoviště. Opodál parkoviště bylo pár domků. Mohl jsem vidět spoustu vrcholů různých hor, jež obklopovaly plošinu ve všech směrech. Pochopitelně, že my jsme se zajímali o hlavní kráter sopky Piton de la Fournaise. Nebylo těžké ji spatřit. Stačilo pár kroků od parkoviště, abychom stanuli u dlouhého zábradlí s domky za zády. Poté jsme pokračovali v chůzi spolu s ostatními návštěvníky podél zábradlí. Prostě jsme šli podél zábradlí a zastavovali se na místech, kde se nám vyhlídka na hlavní kráter zdála být nějak zajímavá. Povětšinou vegetace za zábradlím nebyla vysoká, tudíž jsme všechna panorámata mohli vidět velice dobře.<br />

V té scéně před našima očima bylo něco surrealistického. Pokusím se vám ji vylíčit, jak nejlépe to mohu udělat. Stál jsem u dřevěného zábradlí a upřeně jsem na ten impozantní obraz zíral. Zíral jsem na nesmírnou planinu zbarvenou čevenohnědě a omezovanou svislými stěnami dvou masivních dlouhých skalních bloků po pravé a levé straně. Navíc se planina rozprostírala níže pode mnou, protože vyhlídka byla součástí toho dlouhého masivního skalnatého bloku po mé pravé straně. Přímo před sebou v dálce jsem mohl vidět, že masivní skalní bariéra pokračuje, ale terén na obzoru toho obrazu umožňoval vidět jen její horní linii. Ta vysoká vertikální a masivní skalní stěna tvořila nepřetržitý kruh, který obklopoval celou nesmírnou planinu s hlavním kráterem.<br />

Propadlá kruhová planina pode mnou nebyla ničím jiným, než ohromnou kalderou, tzn. geologický výraz pro typické důsledky dlouhodobých aktivit sopky. Přibližný střed kaldery zabíral pahorek současného hlavního kráteru. Jestliže jste studovali pláň detailněji, pak jste nemohli opominout oválnou věc v planině mezi pahorkem hlavního kráteru a svislou skalní stěnou nalevo. Tato zajímavost byla jedním z nejnápadnějších vedlejších kráterů v kaldeře. Jak jsem se o nějakou dobu později dozvěděl, každá z význačných složek kaldery má své jméno. Tento vedlejší kráter se nazývá Mravkolev, a jak se domnívám, je to pro něj název velice trefný. Každý, kdo zná past mravkolva, to potvrdí, jakmile se na mé fotky objektu podívá. Mravkolev sestává z nízkého oválného okraje a jámy ve svém středu. Mohl jsem pozorovat drobné postavičky kráčející po jeho oválném okraji a také jsem mohl vidět nějaké lidské minifigurky, jak jdou napříč plání a směřují k hlavnímu kráteru. Ano, sestup do kaldery byl povolen. Pokud jste se chtěli zkusit projít v kaldeře, mohli jste to uskutečnit. Avšak výlet od okraje kaldery k hlavnímu kráteru znamenal urazit vzdálenost několika kilometrů. Mladší půlka našeho týmu tuhle myšlenku zvažovala, ale nakonec byla opuštěna, protože výlet by býval zabral několik hodin a starší polovina, tj. já a Karel, by bývala nucena celý ten dlouhý čas na ně čekat.<br />

Pokračovali jsme v chůzi podél dřevěné bariéry dál, dokud jsme nedošli k úseku, kde se terén zvedal v krátkém kamenitém výstupu. Na jeho vrchu jsme další postup vpřed ukončili. Když jsme si užili výhledů z vyšší části lemu kaldery, sešli jsme krátkým kamenitým svahem opět dolů a usadili se na lavičkách pod svahem vedle cesty vedoucí podél bariéry. Tady jsem zase požádal Karla, aby mě vyfotil, jak sedím na zábradlí. Díky jeho laskavosti teď můžete vidět mou vzpomínku na tu chvíli. V jednom momentě jsem si všiml ptáčka sedícího na větvi porostu za bariérou. Nikonem ve vyšším rozlišení jsem udělal pár jeho obrázků. Byl to další úlovek do mé fotokolekce místních ptáků. Jeho vědecké jméno mi zůstává neznámé.<br />
Na tom místě jsem také mohl pozorovat hejno ptáčků podobných vrabci. Zatímco jsem postával opodál laviček, najednou mi začali přistávat na foťák Nikon. Pár ptáčků toho druhu mávalo křídly a pokoušelo se usednout na foťák. Ovšem, že malý přístroj v takovém počtu nemohli zabrat najednou. Sklouzávali po hladkém povrchu třepotaje křídly a jejich zpěvy nevyjadřovaly nic veselého. Očividně byl jejich způsob komunikace hašteřivý. Měl jsem chytrý mobil u sebe, ale jakmile jsem se je pokusil vyfotit, odletěli. Přinejmenším jsem poznal, že se vyskytují i v této nadmořské výšce.<br />

O chvíli později jsme pomalu došli k domkům poblíž parkoviště. Vstup do nich byl volný. V interiéru domků jste si mohli prohlédnout hezkou expozici věnovanou podrobně sopce Piton de la Fournaise. Na zdích viselo mnoho tabulí. Popisovaly veškerou historii a geologii sopky včetně jejího širšího okolí detailně v krátkých textech se spoustou schémat a edukativních obrázků. Na dvou nízkých stolech byly instalovány dva třírozměrné modely sopky a jejího okolí. A veškerou tu info-záplavu jste mohli volně fotit. Já s Vendou jsme té příležitosti plně využili. Uvnitř byl rovněž malý krámek. Mohli jste si tam zakoupit buď rychlé občerstvení, nebo nějaké suvenýry, popř. prospekty sopky. My jsme si však z jejich nabídek nic nekoupili.<br />

Have you recalled my narration depicting the vast lava rock slopes of the South East coast of the island? Then first I meant the volcano named Piton de la Furnaise (i.e. The Peak of the Furnace in English).<br />
The bare lava rock slopes have been its work because this volcano has still been active more times per a year. It is the second highest mountain in Reunion. But we could not see it from our stop at the South East coast because it was hidden deeper in the mountainous inland with its peak veiled in the permanent screens of clouds and mist.<br />

One day just this volcano became to be our goal. The drive was a continuous climbing various roads with a lot of serpents up to the higher levels of the mountainous slopes. It was interesting to watch during the drive how the landscape was changing with the increasing altitude.<br />

The first longer stop was done in one resting place higher above the landscape resembling a Martial terrain. Some of us took a snack, some did not eat but they lighted a cigarette after the long drive. And we all were gazing at the panoramas stretching out in front of our eyes. Not to know that we were in the island surrounded by the Indian Ocean one could think that he found himself in a landscape of some other planet.<br />

The resting place where Venda parked our rented car was next to a short stretch of the road of which opposite side was formed by a rocky wall. The road continued on in very tight serpents just under the resting place and by this way it was going down to the vast plateau taking a bathe in grey, red and brown hues. The red hue especially evoked the Red Planet. We could see very good from our temporary observatory as the road at the foot of the rocky steep slant was losing the character of a folded snake and running in one direct line through the vast plateau and then it was disappearing at a distance among various outcrops. In short, we could see our following way like on a palm of a hand.<br />

Also I noticed a surrounding vegetation cover. It was very sporadic and I saw no colorful species diversity. Most of elements of the local flora could be reduced to a few of repeating plant species and in places the terrain was barren and abandoned. Here and later during our next trips at 2000 to 3000 m above the sea level often I could observe lower bushy growth of some dwarfed trees looking like a cauliflower in their appearances. This lower trees or bushes were an analogy of <i>Pinus mugo</i> growing at these altitudes in the mountains of Czech republic. I took several pictures of plants growing in my immediate surroundings, too.<br />

A frequency of vehicles passing by us was quite high suggesting that the interest in the volcano and its wide surroundings was great. We could overview all the human vehicles as they were driving the road in both directions in its long stretch from our position very well. Often we could watch as groups of the riders on their heavy motorcycles were heading for the volcano or from it at high speeds.<br />

The more poor the vegetation cover was in this strange landscape the more you had to admire its non-living part, i.e. all the lava rock cliffs of various sizes and forms incorporated into the vast plain. From time to time I could recognize tiny points moving on the red/brown surface of the plain, the tourists or visitors trying to overcome the terrain by foot. Either some left their cars next to the road to test the terrain under their feet for a while or some were solo walkers relying on their own feet only.<br />

Vzpomínáte si na moje vyprávění, které líčilo lávové svahy JV pobřeží ostrova? Tehdy jsem poprvé zmínil sopku Piton de la Fournaise (tj. Vršek Pece v češtině). Ty holé lávové svahy jsou její práce, protože sopka je vícekrát ročně stále aktivní. Je to druhá nejvyšší hora na Reunionu. My jsme ji ale z naší zastávky u JV pobřeží vidět nemohli, protože je skryta hlouběji v hornatém vnitrozemí s vrcholem neustále zahaleným clonami z mraků a mlhy.<br />

Jednoho dne se právě tento vulkán stal naším cílem. Jízda byla neustálým stoupáním po různých silnicích se spoustou zátočin do vyšších úrovní horských svahů. Bylo zajímavé sledovat během jízdy, jak se krajina mění s narůstající nadmořskou výškou.<br />

První zastávka byla udělána na odpočívadle výše nad krajinou připomínající marťanský terén. Někteří svačili, někteří z nás nejedli, ale po dlouhé jízdě si zapálili. A všichni jsme upřeně zírali na panorámata, jež se prostírala před našimi zraky. Nevědět, že jsme na ostrově obklopeném Indickým oceánem, člověk si mohl myslet, že se ocitl v krajině nějaké jiné planety.<br />

Odpočívadlo, kde Venda zaparkoval pronajaté auto, bylo vedle krátkého úseku silnice, jejíž protější stranu tvořila skalní stěna. Silnice pokračovala ve velmi těsných serpentinách zrovna pod odpočívadlem a tímto způsobem sestupovala k rozsáhlé plošině, která se koupala v šedých, červených a hnědých odstínech. Rudou planetu evokoval zvlášť červený odstín. Z naší dočasné pozorovatelny jsme mohli velice dobře vidět, jak silnice u paty skalního strmého svahu ztrácí charakter svinutého hada a probíhá v jedné přímé linii a posléze mizí v dálce mezi různými horninovými výstupy. Zkrátka, mohli jsme naši následující cestu vidět jako na dlani ruky.<br />

Všímal jsem si také okolního vegetačního krytu. Byl velice sporadický a neviděl jsem žádnou pestrou druhovou rozmanitost. Většina prvků místní flory se dala redukovat na několik málo opakujících se rostlinných druhů a místy byl terén holý a zpustošený. Zde a později během našich dalších výletů do nadm. výšky 2000 - 3000 m jsem mohl často pozorovat nízký křovinatý porost nějakých zakrslých stromků, které se vzhledem podobaly květáku. Tyhle nízké keře či stromky byly jakousi analogií borovice kleče (<i>Pinus mugo</i>), která roste v těchto nadm. výškách v horách České republiky. Pořídil jsem také několik obrázků rostlin, které rostly v mém bezprostředním okolí.<br />

Frekvence vozidel, která kol nás projížděla, byla dost vysoká, což naznačovalo, že zájem o sopku a její širší okolí je velký. Z naší pozice jsme mohli velmi dobře přehlížet všechna ta lidská vozidla, jak projíždějí po silnici v obou směrech v jejím dlouhém úseku. Často jsme mohli sledovat skupiny jezdců na těžkých motocyklech směřujících ve vysoké rychlosti k sopce či od ní.<br />

Čím byl vegetační kryt v této podivné krajině chudší, tím víc jste museli obdivovat jeho neživou součást, tj. veškeré ty lávové útesy rozmanitých velikostí a tvarů vsazených do té nesmírné pláně. Občas jsem mohl rozpoznat nepatrné tečky pohybující se na červenohnědém povrchu planiny, tj. turisty či návštěvníky, kteří se pokoušeli překonat terén po svých. Buď někteří zanechali auta u silnice, aby si na chvíli ozkoušeli ten terén pod nohama nebo byli někteří sóloví chodci, kteří spoléhali jen na vlastní nohy.<br />

One day in an evening me and Robert decided to take a short walk. As we were leaving our temporary accommodation the Sun was tightly above the horizon. In fact the walk had two parts. Its first half was in the name of the daylight yet, the second in the name of the darkness.<br />

We did not walk toward the town but to the opposite side, i.e. out of it. And this was easy because the house we lived in was situated on its margin itself. Simply, the house was a part of the town´s periphery. To walk to the town from our house meant to walk toward the South. St. Leu the town has been running alongside the South West coast in one line, from the North to the South. And our house stood in its northern end.<br />

We were walking a pavement going in a parallel way with the coastline to our left side and a road to our right side. A terrain on the opposite side of the road was formed by steep and tall cliffs covered with a dense vegetation. However this did not mean that the terrain of the road´s opposite side was quite inaccessible. We walked the pavement for a while only and then we crossed the road to another side.<br />
There was a field path in the place and it was turning in a mild climb up deeper among the rocks. Further it passed higher through the rocky slopes above and alongside the road. We could glance the road and the Ocean at short intervals only from this stretch of the path because of the taller vegetation.<br />

A while later we walked to a deep furrow cut in the slopes. It was rising up between them higher and higher. Its bed was stony and it was covered with various plants growing out of crevices among stones. The vegetation veiled its opposite walls, too. We had two or three choices how to continue in our next way. Either we could start climbing the ravine´s bed up or we could try climbing the bed down at the direction of the road and the Indian Ocean behind it. Or we could step down to the bed of the ravine and then we could try to climb the opposite slope up hoping that a path was up there. But there was yet one choice.<br />

In fact we were standing almost under a bridge. We could see its arches and pillars spanning the ravine from our side to another. The only thing we had to do was to climb a short slant consisting of bigger stones and this task was not difficult. The bridge was old and built up of stony material. Once it had connected both the slopes above the ravine. Its side barriers missed and its surface was covered with vegetation.<br />

The vast slopes falling down to the coastline have often been interrupted by many ravines or furrows. The ravines have cut the slopes through from down to up. They have represented natural channels collecting water from the slopes to the Indian Ocean. These dry beds have changed into wild and rapid rivers during the long-termed falls. The local roads have been going at various levels of the slopes and this is why so often you can meet bridges throughout the island.<br />

In its own way to walk the old bridge across could be risky. But nowhere we saw any warning panels, the bridge was not blocked. The line of the old bridge was free, no breaks in it at our sights and we could see that there were narrow trotted paths in weeds covering the upper surface of the bridge. It was clear that from time to time the bridge was used by pedestrians.<br />

Robert walked as the first one and I followed him. We were walking a narrow path leading through the center of the bridge slowly and we kept at a safety distance from the non barrier sides. I stopped myself several times to take some pictures from the old bridge. We reached its opposite side with no problems. We made it in the dying daylight yet.<br />

The way behind the old bridge continued on through a short stretch between a taller rocky wall to the right side and a smaller rock to my left hand closer to the road under us. Again we encountered on a sitting. Unlike the previous this was woody, we saw nobody there. These sittings were very often and we met them in various forms in various places of the island. They have served for the local people and foreigners as well to relax, to grill something good to eat, to talk, to have a good amusement. Whether these places were more primitive or they were more sophisticated I never saw any disorder in their immediate surroundings, always they were maintained to be clear and neat.<br />

The terrain behind the short pass was becoming more open and we could see the road and the Indian Ocean again down under us. We passed by two excavators standing still nearby the field path. Maybe a private purpose to build a house up there, maybe a matter of the publish interests.<br />
A several minutes later the field path ended up next to a road climbing somewhere up to the slopes. We used it but at the opposite direction, i.e. we went its pavement down to the main road leading alongside the coastline. Then we crossed the main road and we began returning to the periphery of St. Leu the town. The daylight was getting lower and lower. Despite this I made to photograph the old bridge. There was a nice view of it from the pavement of the opposite side of the road.<br />
A while later the night veiled the coastline. On the way back we passed by several resting places with beautiful views of the Indian Ocean. For a while we took a sit in a roofed publish dwelling to light a cigarette. Almost we did not talk. Each of us perceived the surrounding night atmosphere in his own way. The ink black sky, the storming surf of the Indian Ocean to our right side, the irregular noise of passing motor vehicles driving the road to our left side. This was one of the rare whiles when you enjoyed the place where you were finding yourself fully and with no rest, when you realized the present of all the presents. It was a moment when the past and the future stopped to exist to me.<br />

Nešli jsme do města, ale na opačnou stranu, tj. mimo něj. A bylo to snadné, protože dům, v němž jsme bydleli, byl situován na jeho samém okraji. Ten dům byl prostě součástí jeho periférie. Jít z našeho domu do města značilo jít směrem na jih. Městečko St. Leu běží podél JZ pobřeží v jedné linii od severu k jihu. A náš dům stál na jeho severním konci.<br />

Kráčeli jsme po chodníku, který procházel paralelně s pobřežím po naší levé straně a se silnicí po straně pravé. Terén na opačné straně silnice tvořily strmé a vysoké srázy porostlé hustou vegetací. Neznamenalo to však, že je terén na protější straně silnice zcela nepřístupný. Po chodníku jsme šli jen chvíli a poté jsme silnici přešli na druhou stranu. V tom místě byla polní cesta a ta se stáčela v mírném stoupání hlouběji mezi skály. Dále procházela výše skalnatými svahy nad a podél silnice. Kvůli vysoké vegetaci jsme mohli silnici a oceán zahlédat jen v krátkých intervalech.<br />

Po chvíli jsme došli k hluboké brázdě zaříznuté ve svazích. Stoupala mezi nimi vzhůru výš a výš. Měla kamenité dno a porostlé různými rostlinami, které vyrůstaly ze spár mezi kameny. Vegetace halila také její protější stěny. Měli jsme pár možností, jak v další cestě pokračovat. Buď jsme mohli začít dnem rokliny stoupat, anebo jsme mohli zkusit sestoupit dnem ve směru silnice a oceánu za ní. Nebo jsme mohli sejít na dno rokle a poté jsme se mohli pokusit vyšplhat se protějším svahem nahoru a doufat, že tam nahoře je nějaká cesta. Byla tu však ještě jedna možnost.<br />

Vlastně jsme stáli skoro pod mostem. Mohli jsme vidět jeho oblouky a pilíře překlenující roklinu z naší strany na druhou. Museli jsme udělat jediné, a to vyšplhat se krátkým svahem, jenž sestával z větších kamenů a ten úkol nebyl obtížný. Most byl starý a postavený z kamenů. Kdysi spojoval oba svahy nad roklinou. Boční zábradlí chyběla a jeho povrch porůstala vegetace.<br />

Rozsáhlé svahy často přerušuje mnoho roklin či brázd. Rokle protínají svahy zdola nahoru. Reprezentují přirozené kanály, které sbírají vodu ze svahů do Indického oceánu. Za dlouhodobých srážek se tato suchá koryta mění v divoké a rychlé řeky. Místní silnice probíhají v různých úrovních svahů, a proto se tak často můžete s mosty potkávat po celém ostrově.<br />

Přejít most napříč mohlo být svým způsobem riskantní. Ale žádné varovné tabule jsme nikde neviděli, most nebyl blokován. Linie starého mostu byla volná, žádné trhliny v ní v našem dohledu a mohli jsme vidět, že v plevelu porůstajícím svrchní povrch mostu jsou úzké vyšlapané pěšiny. Bylo jasné, že chodci občas most používají.<br />

Robert šel jako první a já ho následoval. Šli jsme po úzké pěšině vedoucí středem mostu zvolna a drželi jsme se v bezpečné vzdálenosti od bezbariérových stran. Několikrát jsem se zastavil, abych si udělal nějaké obrázky ze starého mostu. Jeho protější strany jsme dosáhli bez potíží. Stihli jsme to ještě za skomírajícího denního světla.<br />

Cesta za starým mostem pokračovala krátkým úsekem mezi vyšší skalní stěnou na pravé straně a menší skálou po mé levici blíže silnici pod námi. Znovu jsme narazili na sezení. Na rozdíl od předešlého, tohle bylo dřevěné, neviděli jsme tam nikoho. Tahle sezení byla velice častá a setkávali jsme se s nimi v různých formách na různých místech ostrova. Slouží místním i cizincům k uvolnění, k ugrilovní něčeho dobrého k snědku, k popovídání, k dobré zábavě. Ať byla tato místa primitivnější nebo sofistikovanější, nikdy jsem v jejich bezprostředním okolí neviděl žádný nepořádek, vždy byla udržována čistá a upravená.<br />

Terén za krátkým průsmykem se více otevíral a my jsme mohli dole pod sebou opět vidět silnici a Indický oceán za ní. Minuli jsme dva bagry stojící nehnutě opodál polní cesty. Možná soukromý záměr vystavit tam dům, možná věc veřejného zájmu.<br />
O pár minut později polní cesta končila vedle silnice stoupající někam nahoru ve svazích. Použili jsme ji, ale v opačném směru, tj. sešli jsme po jejím chodníku k hlavní silnici vedoucí podél pobřeží. Poté jsme hlavní silnici přešli a začali se vracet k periférii městečka St. Leu. Denní světlo sláblo a sláblo. Vzdor tomu jsem si stihnul vyfotit starý most. Z chodníku na protější straně silnice byla na něj pěkná vyhlídka.<br />
O chvíli později pobřeží zahalila noc. Na zpáteční cestě jsme prošli kol několika odpočinkových míst s krásnými výhledy na Indický oceán. Na chvilku jsme si sedli v jednom zastřešeném veřejném přístřešku, abychom si zapálili cigaretu. Skoro jsme nemluvili. Každý z nás vnímal okolní atmosféru po svém. Inkoustově černá obloha, hřmící příboj Indického oceánu po naší pravé straně, nepravidelný hluk motorových vozidel projíždějících po silnici po naší levé straně. Tohle byla jedna z těch vzácných chvilek, kdy si místa, kde se zrovna nacházíte, plně a beze zbytku užíváte, kdy si uvědomujete přítomnost všech přítomností. Byla to chvíle, kdy pro mne minulost a budoucnost přestaly existovat. </div>

On our way back to the place with the larger basin and the restaurant we were passing by a small house. Its door was open. Nobody inside. One room with longer tables standing against all the three walls. Yes and one chair in the left corner next to the door while I was standing on its threshold. Maybe a sit for a watcher because upper desks of the tables were glassy and I could see that some natural materials were displayed under the glasses.<br />

I stepped in the room and I began to examine the collections. Quickly I understood that the small exhibition was devoted to seed and fruits of manifold tropical plant species. My two partners were not interested in this exposition and then they continued in walking towards the plateau. Well then, because I could not submit the collections to the more thorough examination rightly in the room I decided to took as many pictures of their items as possible. I saw no photo-prohibition inside and the sit next to the door stayed being empty. I was the only visitor in the room and nobody entered it during all my stay there.<br />

A short while after my visit of the small seed exhibition we walked to an exposition displaying members of <i>Orchidaceae</i> the family. Something what I looked forward to. The exposition was located in several concrete compartments semi-submerged in the surrounding terrain. The complex was equipped with windows in its upper parts allowing the Sun rays to penetrate to plants in a diffusing form only. You had to go four or five steps down and then you could pass through separate compartments with displayed plants. The system of the compartments had two short stairs. By the second one we could leave the whole exposition with no need to go back to the first stairs. The whole room was airy with the two enters opened permanently.<br />

I could see that the compartments contented both the orchid species in pots and the ones attached to fragments of bark or of branches. Apart from the orchid species I could see various species of the epiphytic ferns cultivated together with the epiphytic orchids. But I saw no dense concentrations of the plants in the separate compartments. Their concentrations were sporadic rather than dense. Besides most of the plants were not in flower. In short, the orchids exposition was a disappointment rather than anything else to me. I photographed in a seldom way only and something of the rooms were recorded by GoPro the camera attached to my forehead. As for the orchids in the foreign botanic gardens I has been lucky so far.<br />

I was approaching to the plateau from the opposite side to the restaurant. As I was passing by some servicing buildings I noticed a narrow smaller basin adjoining to the larger basin. I could see some next water plants in it. The most noticeable of them forced me to stop. It was the Sacred Lotus (<i>Nelumbo nucifera</i>) of <i>Nelumbaceae</i> the family. I could photographed its flowers and fruits though I did not find any fully opened flower. This was my first occasion to photograph this beautiful water species.<br />

We all came together in a woody arbour to take a rest for a while. It stood in a remote corner of the plateau hidden in the surrounding vegetation. Again I could not help myself and I had to take some portraits of <i>Heliconia rostrata</i> growing nearby the arbour. While we were sitting under the arbour´s shadowy roof a man joined us. Robert opened a short conversation in English with him. We met him in the restaurant already. He and his girlfriend were sitting at a table next to us. Of course, he asked Robert about where we came from. He turned to be a French speaking in English not too bad. When he received Robert´s answer we were surprised with his response to it. He seemed to be quite uncertain as for where in the map of the Europe he could place Czech republic into. If he leaved in Reunion or if he was on his holidays there only the short talk did not illuminate. As he learnt we were foreigners in the island he recommended us to book an overfly of Reunion by a helicopter. Then he stood up and left us.<br />

Suddenly a small bird took a rest on a woody barrier of the arbour. It behaved itself with no fear and so I tried to photograph it. It was my third attempt to catch a good portrait of this species similar to our sparrow. I think I got its best portraits just in the arbour.<br />

A while later we stood up and left the arbour. A next while later we came over to the long stairs, we went it down and we came out of the Botanic Garden.

Well then, one of the most often questions I have always put to myself has been where does the need to establish the botanic gardens in the subtropical and tropical islands come from? Is there any natural man´s longing to surround himself/herself with various plants in one place? I could understand a botanic garden in a tropical island equipped with special greenhouses adjusted at temperatures of the temperate climatic band allowing it to cultivate plants of this climate. In fact, it would seem to be logical because the botanic gardens of the North temperate climatic band have followed just this goal: to show the plants of subtropical and tropical areas to their visitors because most of them can´t grow under the colder conditions. In other words, take the Kew Gardens in England for instant. I bet that they have had more flowering orchids anytime in their greenhouses than it has been in Mascarin the Botanic Garden. Paradoxically, a native islander from a tropical island does not find any plants growing in the more northern areas of the world in a local botanic garden. Maybe just this paradox has been leading to the neat gardens in the tropical areas but to the ones in which mostly the local flora has had a repeating character of the flora occurring behind their fences.<br />

I have always imagined myself that the tropical orchid species in the urban tropical areas have belonged to a common floral composition having been decorating towns, cities, villages and other human zones. In the meantime I have seen nothing like that in the islands I have visited to so far. I could mean <i>Bougainvillea spectabilis </i>for instance, the tropical species of <i>Nyctaginaceae</i> the family. I have seen it commonly growing in Corsica, Tenerife, Madeira, Sicily and Reunion as well.<br />
Unlike this tropical climbing species or many palm species I have never seen any member of <i>Orchidaceae</i> the family. I supposed their ordinary cultivation in cities in Reunion especially but this idea did not confirmed itself. This absence of any orchid commonly growing in culture and becoming wild in the Reunion´s Nature has still remained to be a mystery to me.<br />

Commonly I would say that Mascarin the Botanic Garden has been an amazing place in a park like style. You can find a lot of interesting plant species as well as of remarkable separate specimens of some trees or bushes within it. Nevertheless, as I think, this Botanic Garden has still had great reserves in the ways how to make use of the local natural conditions much better than it has been so far. For example, I could imagine myself very well a solid collection of some carnivorous plants there.<br />

Cestou zpět na místo s velkou nádrží a restaurací jsme procházeli kolem nějakého domku. Dveře měl otevřené. Uvnitř nikdo. Jedna místnost s dlouhými stoly, které stály u všech tří stěn. Ano a jedna židle v levém rohu vedle dveří, zatímco jsem postával na prahu. Možná sezení pro hlídače, protože horní desky stolů byly skleněné a já mohl vidět, že pod skly jsou vystaveny nějaké přírodní materiály.<br />

Vstoupil jsem do místnosti a začal si sbírky prohlížet. Rychle jsem pochopil, že ta výstavka je věnována semenům a plodům rozmanitých tropických rostlinných druhů. Moji dva parťáci se o výstavu nezajímali a tudíž pokračovali v chůzi směrem k platu. Protože jsem tedy nemohl podrobit sbírky důkladnější prohlídce přímo v místnosti, rozhodl jsem se nafotit co nejvíc obrázků jejich položek. Uvnitř jsem žádný foto-zákaz neviděl a místo vedle dveří zůstávalo prázdné. V místnosti jsem byl jedim návštěvníkem a během celého mého pobytu tam do ní nikdo nevstoupil.<br />

Krátkou chvíli po návštěvě expozice semen jsem došel k expozici vystavující členy čeledi vstavačovitých (<i>Orchidaceae</i>). Něco, nač jsem se těšil. Expozice byla umístěna v několika betonových kompartmentech zpola zanořených v okolním terénu. V horních částech byl ten komplex vybaven okny, jež slunečním paprskům dovolovaly pronikat k rostlinám pouze v rozptýlené formě. Museli jste sejít po pěti či šesti schodech a poté jste mohli procházet jednotlivými separé s vystavenými rostlinami. Systém kompartmentů měl dvě krátká schodiště. Druhým jste mohli celou expozici opustit, bez potřeby vracet se k prvnímu schodišti. Celý prostor byl vzdušný při obou vstupech permanentně otevřených.<br />

Viděl jsem, že kompartmenty obsahují jak druhy orchidejí v květnících tak i druhy připevněné k fragmentům kůry či větví. Krom různých druhů orchidejí jsem mohl vidět různé druhy epifytních kapradin kultivovaných spolu s epifytními orchidejemi. Avšak neviděl jsem v jednotlivých kompartmentech žádné husté koncentrace rostlin. Jejich koncentrace byly spíše řídké než husté. Navíc většina rostlin nekvetla. Expozice orchidejí pro mne byla zkrátka spíš zklamání než cokoliv jiného. Fotil jsem zřídka a něco z těch prostor zaznamenala kamerka GoPro připevněná k mému čelu. Pokud jde o orchideje v zahraničních botanických zahradách, mám až dosud smůlu.<br />

Blížil jsem se k prostranství z opačné strany vůči restauraci. Při procházení kol nějakých služebních budov jsem si všiml úzké nádržky sousedící s větší nádrží. Mohl jsem v ní vidět nějaké další vodní rostliny. Nejnápadnější z nich mě přiměla k zastavení. Byl to lotos ořechodárný (<i>Nelumbo nucifera</i>) z čeledi lotosovitých (<i>Nelumbaceae</i>). Mohl jsem si nafotit jeho květy i plody, třebaže jsem nenašel žádný plně otevřený květ. Tohle byla moje první příležitost fotit tento krásný vodní druh.<br />

Všichni jsme se sešli v dřevěném altánu, abychom si na chvíli odpočali. Stál v odlehlém koutě prostranství skrytý v okolní vegetaci. Znovu jsem si nedokázal pomoci a musel jsem si vyfotit nějaké portréty helikónie zobanité (<i>Heliconia rostrata</i>), která rostla opodál altánu. Zatímco jsme seděli pod stinnou střechou altánu, přidal se k nám pán. Robert s ním zahájil krátkou konverzaci v angličtině. Potkali jsme ho už v restauraci. Seděl s přítelkyní u stolku vedle nás. Ovšem, že se Roberta optal, odkud jsme. Ukázalo se, že je Francouz, který nemluví anglicky příliš zle. Když od Roberta dostal odpověď, překvapila nás jeho odezva na ni. Zdálo se, že je zcela bez jistoty, pokud jde o to, kam by měl na mapě Evropy zařadit Českou republiku. Jestli na Reunionu žil, anebo tam byl jen na dovolené ten krátký rozhovor neosvětlil. Když se dozvěděl, že jsme na ostrově cizinci, doporučil nám, abychom si zabukovali přelet Reunionu vrtulníkem. Poté se zvedl a opustil nás.<br />

Pojednou na dřevěné zábradlí altánu usedl ptáček. Choval se beze strachu a tak jsem si ho zkusil vyfotit. Byl to můj třetí pokus zachytit dobrý portrét druhu podobného našemu vrabci. Myslím, že jsem získal jeho nejlepší portréty právě v tom altánu.<br />

Po chvíli jsme se zvedli a altán jsme opustili. O další chvíli později jsme přešli k dlouhému schodišti, sešli jsme po něm a vyšli jsme z Botanické Zahrady. Zatímco jsme tohle krásné místo v širých svazích JZ pobřeží ostrova opouštěli, přemítal jsem o všem, co jsem tam vidět mohl a také o tom, co jsem tam vidět nemohl.<br />

Nuže tedy, jednou z nejčastějších otázek, kterou si pokaždé kladu je, odkud se bere ta potřeba zakládat botanické zahrady na tropických a subtropických ostrovech? Existuje nějaká přirozená lidská touha obklopovat se různými druhy rostlin na jednom místě? Uměl bych chápat botanickou zahradu na tropickém ostrově vybavenou speciálními skleníky nastavenými na teploty mírného klimatického pásma, jež jí umožňují pěstovat rostliny tohoto klimatu. Vlastně by se to zdálo logické, protože botanické zahrady severního mírného klimatického pásma sledují právě tento cíl: Ukázat návštěvníkům rostliny tropických a subtropických oblastí, protože většina z nich nemůže za chladnějších podmínek růst. Jinými slovy, vezměte například Botanickou Zahradu Kew Gardens v Anglii. Vsadím se, že mají ve sklenících kdykoliv víc kvetoucích orchidejí, než v BZ Mascarin. Paradoxně, rodilý ostrovan z tropického ostrova nenachází v místní botanické zahradě žádné rostliny rostoucí v severnějších oblastech světa. Možná, že právě tento paradox vede v tropech k upraveným zahradám, ale k zahradám, v nichž má povětšinou místní flora opakující se charakter flory, která se vyskytuje za jejich ploty.<br />

Vždycky jsem si představoval, že tropické druhy orchidejí v urbánních tropických oblastech patří k běžné květní skladbě, která zdobí městečka, města, vesnice a jiné lidské zóny. Prozatím jsem na ostrovech, které jsem až dosud navštívil, neviděl nic podobného. Mohl bych zmínit např. <i>Bougainvillea spectabilis</i> z čeledi nocenkovitých (<i>Nyctaginaceae</i>). Viděl jsem ji růst běžně na Korzice, Tenerife, Madeiře, Sicílii i na Reunionu. Na rozdíl od tohoto tropického popínavého druhu či mnoha palmových druhů, nikdy jsem neviděl žádného člena vstavačovitých (<i>Orchidaceae</i>). Zvlášť na Reunionu jsem předpokládal jejich běžnou kultivaci ve městech, ale tato představa se nepotvrdila.<br />
Tato absence jakéhokoliv druhu orchideje rostoucího v kultuře a zplaňujícího v reunionské přírodě mi stále zůstává záhadou.<br />

Obecně bych řekl, že BZ Mascarin je úžasné místo v parkovém stylu. Můžete v ní najít spousty zajímavých rostlinných druhů a také pozoruhodné jednotlivé exempláře některých stromů a keřů. Přesto, jak se domnívám, tato Botanická Zahrada má stále velké rezervy ve způsobech, jak využívat místních přirozených podmínek mnohem lépe, než to je dosud. Například bych si tam uměl velmi dobře představit solidní sbírku některých masožravých rostlin.<br />

The section we were walking through was in fact a park mostly planted with manifold trees and bushes. We were walking a concrete path on. It began under a slope´s foot and then it was turning to the right continuing on in a mild climb up alongside the slope. Both the boys were in front of me because often I was stopping and taking some partial pictures of the park´s surroundings.<br />

In a while I registered a tree growing in a lawn nearby the path. Its branches were bearing globular light red and green fruits. Though the fruits were not fully mature (orange/red in color) I knew I was looking at a pomegranate (<i>Punica granatum</i>) of <i>Punicaceae</i> the family. I was going to photograph it and at the same time I noticed as Venda was looking at something interesting at a distance of some five or six meters before me. I did two or three pictures of the pomegranate and then I came over to him. To my great pleasure I could see my first fruits of the breadfruit (<i>Artocarpus</i>)! One of the fruits was suspending at our reach. Its thick foot-stalk grew out of the tree´s trunk hardly a meter above the ground. The tree in its fruitful phase seemed to be almost with no leaves.<br />

I would have payed more attention to surrounding trees and bushes but the boys were walking faster than me and I could not stay at a place for a longer time. This was why I reduced my photographing to partial views of this park´s stretch only.<br />

When we reached the top of the mild climb up of the path a next remarkable and beautiful part of the park followed. Here the collection of various succulents growing together began. The first robust and tall specimens could be seen next to the path to the right side. There was a rocky cascaded slope under the path and it was covered with a dense growth of manifold succulent species from up to down. Either you could bypass this slope by the path or you cloud use a shortcut in a form of steps going down to the rocky slope´s foot directly. We used the second choice. Under the steps you could meet the original path again. It led back to the plateau with the restaurant and the larger basin.<br />

Somehow it happened that Nikon the camera failed photographing a few of meters before the succulent zone. Nothing serious. Simply, its battery was exhausted. I exchanged Nikon for my smart phone and I could continued on in my photographing. Besides there was attached GoPro the camera to my forehead but I saved it and I triggered it for short whiles only to record anything what I found myself to be extra interesting. Otherwise it stayed to be at the off mode. At last but not least Venda was a next reserve because he was photographing with his own camera and his smart phone as well.<br />

The arrangement of various plant species adapted to the lack of water on the rocky cascaded slope was imposing. Here it is not possible to go into details. I could see various members of several families growing there. Their morphological curiosities were reliable attractants to passing visitors. Of course we were no exceptions. I had to admire big and robust leafy rosettes of some members of <i>Agavaceae</i> the family and of <i>Asphodelaceae</i> the family. I registered some species of <i>Opuntiaceae</i> the family and <i>Cactaceae</i> the family. But I would say that the most bizarre forms were showed out by some members of <i>Euphorbiaceae</i> the family. Some specimens of the meant families were numerous, some of them were limited to few individuals. The collection of the plants resisted to the lack of water resembled a surrealistic masterpiece to me. The most bizarre specimen among the other plants, to me at least, was represented by a tall and big specimen of the Candelabra tree (<i>Euphorbia ingens</i>) with its distorted branches. I photographed it several times. The whole arrangement of the succulent collection was made colorful by two big dry spikes bent in pompous arches above the surrounding vegetation. This effective element of the whole picture belonged to <i>Agave attenuata.</i><br />

Úsek, kterým jsme procházeli, byl vlastně park povětšinou osázený rozmanitými stromy a keři. Pokračovali jsme v chůzi po betonové cestě. Začínala pod úpatím svahu a poté se stáčela doprava a pokračovala dál v mírném stoupání podél svahu. Oba hoši byli přede mnou, protože jsem se často zastavoval a pořizoval si nějaké dílčí obrázky okolí parku.<br />

V jedné chvíli jsem zaznamenal strom, který rostl na trávníku opodál cesty. Jeho větve nesly světle červenozelené plody. I když plody nebyly plně vyzrálé (zbarvené oranžovo-červeně), poznal jsem, že se dívám na marhaník granátový (<i>Punica granatum</i>) z čeledi marhaníkovitých (<i>Punicaceae</i>). Chystal jsem se ho vyfotit a zároveň jsem si všiml, že Venda se ve vzdálenosti nějakých pěti či šesti metrů přede mnou na cosi zajímavého dívá. Udělal jsem pár snímků marhaníku a poté jsem k němu přešel. K mému velkému potěšení jsem mohl spatřit své první plody chlebovníku (<i>Artocarpus</i>)! Jeden z plodů visel v našem dosahu. Jeho tlustá stopka vyrůstala z kmene stromu sotva metr nad zemí. Zdálo se, že strom je v plodné fázi skoro bez listí.<br />

Když jsme dosáhli vrcholu mírného stoupání cesty, následovala další pozoruhodná a krásná část parku. Tady začínala sbírka různých sukulentů rostoucích pohromadě. Vedle cesty po pravé straně bylo možné vidět první robustní a vysoké exempláře. Pod cestou byl skalnatý kaskádovitý svah a porůstal ho shora dolů hustý porost rozmanitých sukulentních druhů. Buď jste ten svah mohli obejít cestou, anebo jste mohli použít zkratky ve formě schodů sestupujích na úpatí skalnatého svahu přímo. Použili jsme druhou možnost. Pod schody jste se opět mohli setkat s cestou. Vedla zpět k prostranství s restaurací a větší nádrží.<br />

Nějak se stalo, že pár metrů před zónou sukulentů Nikon přestal fotit. Nic vážného. Prostě se vyčerpala baterie. Vyměnil jsem Nikon za chytrý mobil a mohl jsem ve focení pokračovat. Navíc byla na mém čele upevněna kamerka GoPro, ale šetřil jsem ji a spouštěl ji jen na krátké chvíle, abych zaznamenal cokoliv, co jsem shledával zvláště zajímavým. Jinak zůstávala vypnutá. V neposlední řadě Venda byl další rezervou, protože fotil vlastním foťákem a také chytrým mobilem.<br />

Uspořádání různých rostlinných druhů adaptovaných na nedostatek vody na skalnatém kaskádovém svahu byl impozantní. Tady není možné zacházet do detailů. Viděl jsem různé příslušníky z několika čeledí, kteří tam rostli. Jejich morfologické zvláštnosti byly spolehlivým atraktantem pro procházející návštěvníky. Musel jsem obdivovat velké a robustní listové růžice některých členů z čeledi agávovitých (<i>Agavaceae</i>) a z čeledi kopíčkovitých (<i>Asphodelaceae</i>). Zaznamenal jsem některé druhy z čeledi nopálovitých (<i>Opuntiaceae</i>) a z čeledi kaktusovitých (<i>Cactaceae</i>). Řekl bych ale, že nejbizarnější formy předváděli příslušníci čeledi pryšcovitých (<i>Euphorbiaceae</i>). Některé exempláře zmíněných čeledí byly početné, některé z nich se omezovaly na pár jedinců. Sbírka rostlin odolných vůči nedostatku vody mi připomínala mistrovský kousek surrealizmu. Nejbizarnější exemplář mezi jinými rostlinami, alespoň pro mne, reprezentoval se svými pokřivenými větvemi vysoký a velký exemplář "kandelábrového stromu" (<i>Euphorbia ingens</i>). Fotil jsem ho několikrát. Celkové uspořádání sbírky sukulentů zpestřovala dvě velká suchá květenství ohnutá v pompézních obloucích nad okolní vegetací. Tento efektní prvek celkového obrazu náležel <i>Agave attenuata</i>.<br />

We were hungry and thirsty. The Botanic Garden was our second visit in that day already. In the morning hours we visited one interesting place in the mountainous inland. I am going to describe this trip as soon as I finish up my narration of Mascarin the Botanic Garden.<br />

The plane section of the garden offered a good occasion to take a meal as well as a drink because soon we discovered a small restaurant with a roofed garden in one marginal part of it. But before than we took sits inside I continued on in my photographing all what the place was attracting with to me. I was walking side paths of the central plateau and taking pictures of various plants and various corners of the place.<br />

While I was photographing my partners occupied a sitting in the roofed garden. Mostly the sittings were free there. The numbers of visitors of the Botanic Garden were low, no big crowds of people. I chose a fish steak with a vegetable and fried potatoes from the menu. While we were waiting for our meals I could see people sitting in our surroundings. Mostly older women or younger ones with children, from time to time some older or younger pairs came to the restaurant to eat. Some guests had a dog with them. Two or three cats were wandering freely about the ground searching for some rests of food under tables. Serving personal consisted of three or four waitresses. They could speak in English a bit only but they were no problem to understand to our demands.<br />

Our dinner was finished up with coffee and then we left the restaurant to continue on in our next sightseeing. Karel was handicapped with his ill right knee a little. Long walks were nothing good to him because the more his knee was forced to work the more it pained. This was why Karel stayed nearby the restaurant while me, Venda and Robert continued in our walking paths to more distant parts of the Botanic Garden. Karel accompanied us for a short stretch only and then he came back to the place nearby the restaurant and the larger basin as well.<br />

In advance I knew roughly that the Garden was divided into three or four main sections. The first section could try to show the original composition of the local flora. The second could be devoted to the succulent flora and the third could provide a show of the orchids to visitors. Of course, I was looking forward to the orchids especially.<br />

Well, one thing is a wish to see all the plant expositions in detail and the second is its realization. In the end it has always been a mix of compromises and improvisation. You have never been able to see all what you wanted to see. A systematical examination done step by step and gradually has never been possible completely. I would have to be alone and I would have to visit to the object of my interest more times to be able to come my idea of the perfect examination to reality. Naturally, this has always been impossible. And so I have always thought to myself that lesser has been more than nothing.<br />

Now let´s come back to the place with the restaurant for a while. I was interested in the plants floating on the surface of the larger basin in the center of the place as you can see it on the Fig.1 and the Fig.2. I could see a lot of a cor like leaves covering the water surface and it was no problem to me to place them into <i>Nymphaeaceae</i> the family. But to determine the plant exactly in a botanic way was not so easy to me. First I thought that the plant did not flower. A while later I noticed smaller yellow flowers above the surface at a more distance from the stony margin I was standing at. I used Nikon the camera from our enter in the Botanic Garden and so I took some pictures of the smaller flowers at the higher resolution. I did not know the plant. I found a panel with its botanic name but it was nowhere there.

Only yesterday (on 3.6. 2018) while I have been preparing this part I tried to determine the water unknown. Of course, it was already at my home background a month or so after our comeback to Prague, Czech republic. First I came out of my old idea of <i>Nymphaeaceae</i> the family. I asked the Google for to find photos of this family. It fulfilled my wish immediately. I could browse through many photos of various species within this family but none of them resembled my plant to me. The smaller flowers of my unknown and the negative outcome as for <i>Nymphaeaceae</i> the family were dissolving the first hypothesis out slowly. It occurred to me to try some next families including plants growing in the water environment. <i>Alismataceae</i> the family was the second attempt but again my browsing through photos of various plants of this family showed no similarities with my plant. To make my searching for the identity of my plant more exact I took my two enlarged photos of the flowers from the photo-archive and I enlarged them once again with the help of the photo-explorer at the maximal resolution. Then I realized it! The detailed examination showed that the crown tips of the flowers were covered with marked hair on their upper surfaces! This might be a promised trait at last! This symptom evoked the flowers of <i>Menyanthes trifoliata</i> in my mind. The two sorts of flowers were almost the same morphology. Therefore my next way was to try photos of the members of <i>Menyanthaceae</i> the family. Soon I saw what I wanted to. You can see <i>Nymphoides geminata</i> of <i>Menyanthaceae</i> the family on the Fig.6/a to the Fig.6/d. By this detective story I want to demonstrate that the ways to the exact species identification of any living organism have not always been straightforward or easy.<br />

Plochá sekce nabízela dobrou příležitost dát si jídlo a též pití, protože jsme brzy objevili malou restauraci se zastřešenou zahrádkou v jedné z jejích okrajových částí. Ale dříve, než jsme se uvnitř usadili, pokračoval jsem dál ve focení všeho, co mne upoutalo. Chodil jsem po postranních pěšinách centrálního plató a dělal si obrázky různých rostlin a různých zákoutí toho místa.<br />

Zatímco jsem fotil, parťáci zabrali jedno sezení v zastřešené zahrádce. Většinou tam byla volná sezení. Počet návštěvníků Botanické zahrady byl nízký, žádné velké zástupy lidí. Vybral jsem si z menu rybí steak se zeleninou a smaženými bramborami. Zatímco jsme čekali na naše jídla, mohl jsem pozorovat lidi sedící v okolí. Vesměs starší ženy nebo mladší s dětmi, občas se přišly do restaurace najíst nějaké starší nebo mladší páry. Někteří hosté měli s sebou psa. Dvě či tři kočky volně bloumaly po zemi a pátraly po zbytcích potravy pod stolky. Obslužný personál sestával ze tří či čtyř číšnic. Anglicky mluvily jen málo, ale neměly problém rozumět našim požadavkům.<br />

Oběd zakončila káva a poté jsme restauraci opustili, abychom pokračovali v další prohlídce. Karla trochu hendikepovalo nemocné pravé koleno. Dlouhé procházky pro něj nebyly nic dobrého, protože čím víc bylo jeho koleno nuceno fungovat, tím víc bolelo. Proto Karel zůstal poblíž restaurace, zatímco já, Venda a Robert jsme pokračovali v chůzi po pěšinách do vzdálenějších částí Botanické Zahrady. Karel nás doprovodil jen krátký úsek a pak se vrátil na místo poblíž restaurace a také té větší nádrže.<br />

Předem jsem zhruba věděl, že zahrada je rozdělena na tři či čtyři sekce. První se měla pokoušet ukázat původní skladbu místní květeny. Druhá měla být věnována sukulentní floře a třetí měla poskytovat návštěvníkům ukázku orchidejí. Přirozeně, že jsem se těšil zvlášť na orchideje.<br />

Nu, jedna věc je přání vidět všechny rostlinné expozice podrobně a druhá je jeho realizace. Nakonec je to pokaždé směska kompromisů a improvizace. Nikdy nemůžete vidět vše, co jste vidět chtěli. Systematická prohlídka prováděná krok za krokem a postupně nikdy není možná kompletně. Abych mohl svou představu dokonalé prohlídky uskutečnit, musel bych být sám a musel bych objekt svého zájmu navštívit vícekrát. Tohle je přirozeně vždycky nemožné. A tak si pokaždé pomyslím, že méně je více než nic.<br />

Teď se na chvilku vraťme k místu s restaurací. Zajímaly mne rostliny plovoucí na hladině té větší nádrže ve středu místa, jak to vidíte na obr.1 a obr.2. Viděl jsem spoustu srdčitých listů pokrývajících hladinu a nebylo pro mne problémem zařadit je do čeledi leknínovitých (<i>Nymphaeaceae</i>). Ale určit rostlinu přesně botanicky pro mne tak snadné nebylo. Zprvu jsem si myslel, že rostlina nekvete. Po chvilce jsem si povšiml menších žlutých květů nad hladinou ve větší vzdálenosti od kamenného okraje, u kterého jsem stál. Od vstupu do Botanické Zahrady jsem používal aparát zn. Nikon a tak jsem udělal několik fotek těch menších květů ve větším rozlišení. Rostlinu jsem neznal. Hledal jsem tabulku s jejím botanickým názvem, ale nikde tam nebyla. Obrázky zůstaly v paměti Nikonu a po čase byly zkopírovány do centrálního foto-archivu v mém hlavním kompu.<br />

Teprve včera, zatímco jsem chystal tuto část, jsem tu vodní neznámou zkusil určit. Ovšem, že to už bylo v domácím zázemí, asi měsíc po návratu do Prahy. Nejdřív jsem vycházel ze staré představy o čeledi leknínovitých (<i>Nymphaeaceae</i>). Požádal jsem Google o vyhledání fotek z této čeledi. Mé přání splnil okamžitě. Mohl jsem procházet mnoha fotkami různých druhů v této čeledi, ale žádná z nich mi mou rostlinu nepřipomínala. Menší květy neznámé a záporný výsledek pokud jde o čeleď leknínovitých (<i>Nymphaeaceae</i>) pomalu první hypotézu rozpustily. Napadlo mě zkusit nějaké další čeledě zahrnující rostliny, které rostou ve vodním prostředí. Druhým pokusem byla čeleď žabníkovitých (<i>Alismataceae</i>), ale opět mé procházení fotkami různých rostlin z této čeledi žádné podobnosti s mou rostlinou neukázalo. Abych pátrání po totožnosti rostliny zpřesnil, vyzvedl jsem si z foto-archivu své dvě zvětšené fotky květů a znovu jsem je pomocí foto-prohlížeče zvětšil v maximálním rozlišení. Tehdy jsem si to uvědomil! Podrobná prohlídka ukázala, že korunní plátky květů porůstají na horním povrchu nápadné chlupy! Tohle snad mohla být konečně slibná stopa! Tenhle symptom mi v mysli vyvolal květy vachty trojlisté (<i>Menyanthes trifoliata</i>). Oba typy květů byly skoro téže morfologie. Proto další cesta byla zkusit fota příslušníků čeledi vachtovitých (<i>Menyanthaceae</i>). Brzy jsem uviděl, co jsem vidět chtěl. Na obrázcích 6/a - 6/d můžete vidět plavín (<i>Nymphoides geminata</i>) z čeledi vachtovitých (<i>Menyanthaceae</i>). Tímto detektivním příběhem chci doložit, že cesty k přesnému druhovému určení jakéhokoliv živého organizmu nejsou pokaždé přímočaré nebo jednoduché.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01901300396804586280noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6262719897332666543.post-88653561342073651322018-03-05T02:06:00.000-08:002018-03-05T02:06:47.467-08:00The English Version<br />

As my fateful reader have already known very well my visits of botanical gardens during my stays at various islands have become to be a tradition with the exceptions for Sicily the island and Corsica the island where I could see a free vegetation only. But after this pause the tradition got its occasion in Reunion the island again.<br />

One day we drove to one of about three botanic gardens in the island. Its large areal has been stretching out higher in a vast slope rising up above the Indian Ocean. Venda stopped the car not too far under the main entrance. We got out and first we were looking around the surroundings in front of the main entrance. This botanic garden was the closest one to our base in St. Leu the town. In fact it was somewhere down at the coast quite out of our sights. When you stopped walking in front of the main entrance two amazing views were offering to your eyes. The first, while you were standing with your back to the main entrance, showed a blue free surface of the Indian Ocean deeply under you without you could glance anything of its coastline. Besides there were stony steps under your feet going the slope lower so that you could enjoy the view of the ocean at the lower levels under the asphalt road separating this decreasing stretch of the slope from its rising section including the areal of the botanic garden on the opposite side.<br />
The second view allowed you to look at the main entrance into the Botanic Garden. The entrance gate was opened and then you could see what it was behind it. There was a woody stand to the left immediately behind it and shallow wider steps going up to somewhere to the higher levels of the botanic garden rightly in front of your eyes. The sides of this rising up central steps were lined with trees and bushes casting shadows on the steps thus making a visitor´s climb up much more pleasant in the tropical climate of the place.<br />

Venda walked the asphalt road going mildly up further above the entrance to a plateau where a smaller castle stood facing to the Indian Ocean. You can see his photos of this object in this part, too. The exact purpose of this castle or its history has not been known to me. As for me I was staying nearby the main entrance and I was photographing both the views meant in the paragraph above. I was looking forward to our enter into the Botanic garden.<br />

On their way up the steps were interrupted by wider landings. Paradoxically, as I was going the steps up slowly I realized myself the ridiculous fact that this Botanic Garden was one large greenhouse itself. The temperature had to rise up at 30 degrees of Centigrade at least in that time not speaking of the high relative air humidity of about 70 to 80 percent.<br />

There was a circular stony basin in the center of one landing in the climb up. The water surface of the basin was covered with a dense growth of about three water plants. I stopped for a while to photograph them. I recognized three water plants on the surface of the circular pool. Two famous water weeds of the tropical flows of the world: the water lettuce (<i>Pistia stratiotes</i>, <i>Araceae</i> the family) and the water hyacinth (<i>Eichhornia crassipes</i>, <i>Pontederiaceae</i> the family). The two species showed out their interesting and beautiful morphology, especially the water hyacinth because I was lucky to encounter on specimens in flower. The third species was lesser noticeable than the latter meant plants and I have thought it to be a member of <i>Lemnaceae</i> the family. Its minute bright green leaves occupied almost the whole rest of the water surface among the other species.<br />

There were side paths turning to the left part of the garden from some landings on the way the stairs up but I used none of them because I had no time to do it. You see, my partners were waiting for me on the top of the stairs already with a great impatience. To be true, the visits of botanic gardens have not been in the sphere of their most favorite interests. If I were absent in our team the botanic gardens would be the last thing what they would long for to see. Nevertheless, I must add that they were tolerant to my interests and they could appreciate both the whole arrangement of the botanic garden and the beauty of some separate plant species.<br />

Jak můj věrný čtenář už velmi dobře ví, mé návštěvy botanických zahrad během pobytů na různých ostrovech staly se tradicí s výjimkou Sicílie a Korziky, kde jsem mohl pozorovat jenom volnou vegetaci. Avšak na ostrově Reunionu dostala po těchto pauzách tradice příležitost zase.<br />

Jednoho dne jsme si zajeli do jedné z asi tří botanických zahrad na ostrově. Její areál se rozkládá výše v ohromném svahu, který se zvedá nad Indickým oceánem. Venda zastavil auto nepříliš daleko pod hlavním vchodem. Vystoupili jsme a nejdřív jsme se před hlavním vchodem rozhlíželi po okolí. Tahle botanická zahrada byla naší základně v městečku St. Leu nejblíže. Vlastně byla kdesi dole na pobřeží zcela mimo náš dohled. Když jste se v chůzi zastavili před hlavním vchodem, vašim zrakům se nabízely dva úžasné výhledy. První, zatímco jste stáli zády k hlavnímu vchodu, ukazoval modrou volnou hladinu Indického oceánu hluboko pod vámi, aniž byste mohli zahlédnout cokoliv z jeho pobřeží. Navíc, pod nohama jste měli kamenné schodiště sestupující svahem níž, abyste si mohli užívat vyhlídek na oceán na nižších úrovních pod asfaltkou, jež oddělovala tento klesající úsek svahu od stoupajícího úseku, který zahrnoval areál botanické zahrady na opačné straně.<br />
Druhý pohled vám dovoloval dívat se na hlavní vchod do botanické zahrady. Vstupní brána byla otevřená, tudíž jste mohli vidět, co je za ní. Vlevo hned za ním byl dřevěný stánek a přímo před vašimi zraky stoupalo kamsi k vyšším úrovním botanické zahrady mělké širší schodiště. Strany tohoto stoupajícího centrálního schodiště lemovaly stromy a keře, které vrhaly na schody stín, čímž v tropickém podnebí toho místa návštěvníkův výstup dělaly mnohem příjemnějším.<br />

Venda zašel dál po asfaltce, která mírně stoupala nad vchod, k plošině, kde stál malý hrad hledící na Indický oceán. Jeho fotky tohoto objektu v tomto díle můžete vidět rovněž. Přesný účel hrádku či jeho historii neznám. Co se mne týká, zdržoval jsem se poblíž hlavního vchodu a fotil si oba výhledy zmíněné v odstavci výše. Těšil jsem se na vstup do Botanické zahrady.<br />

Cestou vzhůru přerušovala schodiště širší odpočívadla. Paradoxně, zatímco jsem po schodech zvolna vystupoval, uvědomil jsem si legrační fakt, že tahle Botanická zahrada je jeden velký skleník sám o sobě. Teplota v tom čase musela vystoupit nejmíň na 30 st. C, nemluvě o vysoké relativní vzdušné vlhkosti kolem 70 - 80 %.<br />

Ve středu jednoho odpočívadla ve stoupání byla kruhová kamenná nádrž. Vodní hladinu nádrže pokrýval hustý porost nejméně tří druhů vodních rostlin. Na chvíli jsem se zastavil, abych si je vyfotil. Na hladině kruhové nádrže jsem rozpoznal tři vodní rostliny. Dva proslulé plevely tropických světových toků: babelku řezanovitou (<i>Pistia stratiotes</i>, čeleď aronovitých (<i>Araceae</i>)) a tokozelku tlustostopkatou (<i>Eichhornia crassipes</i>), čeleď modráskovitých (<i>Pontederiaceae</i>)). Oba druhy předváděly svou zajímavou a krásnou morfologii, zvláště tokozelka, protože jsem měl štěstí natrefit na exempláře v květu. Třetí druh byl méně nápadný než posledně zmíněné a pokládám jej za příslušníka čeledi okřehkovitých (<i>Lemnaceae</i>). Jejich miniaturní jasně zelené lístky zabíraly skoro celý zbytek hladiny mezi ostatními druhy.<br />

Cestou po schodech vzhůru z některých odpočívadel do levé části zahrady odbočovaly pěšiny, ale já se žádnou z nich nevydal, protože jsem na to neměl čas. To víte, moji parťáci už na mne s velkou netrpělivostí čekali na vrcholu schodiště. Po pravdě, návštěvy botanických zahrad nejsou ve sféře jejich nejoblíbenějších zájmů. Kdybych v našem týmu chyběl, botanické zahrady by byly tím posledním, co by toužili vidět. Nicméně musím dodat, že byli k mým zájmům tolerantní a uměli ocenit jak celkové uspořádání zahrady, tak i krásu některých jednotlivých druhů rostlin.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01901300396804586280noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6262719897332666543.post-16918136858632582732018-03-02T03:55:00.000-08:002018-03-02T03:55:51.074-08:00The English Version<br />

When we drove to the town of which name you can see in the subtitle of this part we left the car in a parking lot of a side street. Our main goal was not the town sightseeing. We wanted to eat and then we tried to find some restaurant in the vicinity of the car. This is why you can´t expect any detailed description of the town. Take this part as a summary of my first impressions resulting from our short stay at the town of the North East coast of the island.<br />

Well, we have already become more familiar with some specific sorts of the coastline in the course of my narration. But in the meantime towns, settlements, villages and other human dwellings have been meant marginally. Just St. Benoît the town gives me a good chance to write something more about this topic. Here I would like to point out that we saw a small part of this town only, nevertheless we passed by feet through some of its lanes, streets and we visited to one square.<br />

That´s understandable we had already seen a lot of various forms of the human urban zones before than we arrived at St. Benoît. Maybe you have already noticed that mostly the towns in Reunion have got their names after various Saints. We were accommodated in St. Leu, the Devil´s Tip was nearby St. Pierre etc.. However mostly we passed by them or we passed through them in the car till that time.<br />

Before than I set up to describe my impressions of one part of one concrete town, let me express my common feelings concerning my first superficial contacts with the urban zones in Reunion.<br />
None of the towns I could have the chance to see in the island in the course of our stay, whether it was from a window of the driving car or during shorter stays at some of them, did not attracted my attention to the measure I could write about them with a great excitement.<br />

Simply expressed: all the towns were the same. I did not register any one of them which would has kept some its own character, I did not see none of them which I could write about as to be beautiful or so. All they consisted of low buildings resembling paper boxes to me. Mostly their most usual dominants were various holy stands. For instance, you could see a Christian church standing not so far away from a mosque. I must admit that we never realized any thorough examination of a town, always we saw only its fragments.<br />
I could observe more pharmacy shops as well as veterinary services almost in every town we drove through. Almost one would say that the local people have not been able to exist without taking some pill. The pharmacy shops belonged to the most noticeable signs with their illuminated green crosses as we were driving through a town in evening times. Often I asked myself about how so many pharmacy shops could coexist in one small town. Well, they all seemed to be useful.<br />
I would have liked to believe that the veterinary services in the island were not determined to the domestic animals only but also to all the wandering dogs I could see perhaps in every town we visited to.<br />

And now let´s come back to the short stay at St Benoît the town. I recall as we were passing through a supermarket. A side passage led alongside the room for buying people there and as we were approaching to its exit I glanced a decorated Christmas tree standing in a pot. It was an extraordinary feeling to me to see this Christmas symbol so far from my native country where we had celebrated the Christmas Eve on 12.24. 2017. Of course, I was interested in what the sort of a tree was used as The Christmas symbol in this remote part of the world. Unlike my country where the most often Christmas trees have been the spruce, the fir and the pine here the tropical Christmas conifer represented the one of <i>Araucaria</i> the genus.<br />

Our searching for some restaurant was not successful. Either they were closed or they did not seemed to fulfill our ideas and then somehow our efforts to find something slowly changed in a free wandering about local lanes and streets till we walked to a larger square with a Christian church. The church was surrounded by a nice park where we took a sit for a while to decide what to do next. Sitting on a low wall separating the park from a street I could observe two or three birds searching for some food in a lawn. I could recognize two species among them easily ´cause while one was mostly yellow in color the another´s coloration was clear red in large. I tried to photograph them but the photos were not perfect. In one moment I noticed a man passing by the Christian church. He wore a long white robe with a white oval cap on his head. He was about fifty or so years old. His feet in free sandals were hardly to see under his long robe falling down to the ground. I wanted to take a portrait of him in an unnoticeable way but there was no good chance to do it. I guess he was a Muslim priest on his way to a mosque. A moment later I could see a young boy worn in the same white robe but without a cap on his head.<br />

There is yet one important fact I got from our accidental probes in various towns in the island. If you look at the photos illustrating this chapter as well as all the previous ones of this serial you can see no floods of garbage. I must make a compliment to the island. Both its urban zones and the non urban ones have been maintained to be clear and neat. My previous experience with Sicily the island in The Mediterranean Sea has been incomparable in this aspect.<br />

Well, we decided to leave the town and to continue in our drive. As we were leaving the park for our car in the parking lot nearby we could hear a calling amplified by a microphone echoing from the not too distant mosque. Jesus on the pink cross behind our backs seemed to be with no objectives.<br />

Když jsme přijeli do města, jehož název vidíte v podtitulu této části, nechali jsme auto na parkovišti jedné postranní ulice. Naším hlavním cílem nebyla prohlídka města. Chtěli jsme se najíst, a tudíž jsme hledali nějakou restauraci v blízkosti auta. Proto nemůžete očekávat žádný podrobný popis města. Berte tuto část jako souhrn mých prvních dojmů, plynoucí z našeho krátkého pobytu ve městě na SV pobřeží ostrova.<br />

Během mého vyprávění jsme se už více seznámili s některými typy pobřeží. Avšak města, osady, vesnice a jiné lidské příbytky byly zatím zmiňovány jen okrajově. Právě městečko St. Benoît mi dává dobrou možnost napsat o tomto tématu něco víc. Zde bych rád podotknul, že jsem z toho městečka viděl jen malou část, nicméně prošli jsme po svých několika jeho uličkami, ulicemi a navštívili jsme jedno náměstí.<br />

Je pochopitelné, že už před tím, než jsme dorazili do St. Benoît, viděli jsme spoustu různých forem lidských městských zón. Možná jste si už povšimli, že města na Reunionu jsou pojmenována po různých svatých. Ubytováni jsme byli v St. Leu, Ďáblův výběžek byl poblíž St. Pierre atd.. Avšak většinou jsme do té doby kol nich nebo skrze ně projížděli autem.<br />

Dříve než se dám do popisování svých dojmů z jedné části jednoho konkrétního města, dovolte, abych vyjádřil své obecné pocity, jež se týkají mých prvních kontaktů s urbánními zónami na Reunionu. Žádné z měst, které jsem měl možnost během našeho pobytu na ostrově vidět, ať to bylo z okénka jedoucího auta nebo během kratších pobytů v některém z nich, neupoutalo mou pozornost do té míry, že bych o nich mohl psát s velkým nadšením.<br />

Prostě vyjádřeno: Všechna ta města byla stejná. Nezaznamenal jsem žádné z nich, které by si bývalo zachovávalo svůj vlastní charakter, neviděl jsem žádné z nich, o němž bych mohl napsat, že bylo krásné či tak podobně. Všechny sestávaly z nízkých budov, které mi připomínaly papírové krabice. Povětšinou byly jejich nejobvyklejšími dominantami různé svatostánky. Například jste mohli vidět křesťanský kostel, který stál nedaleko od mešity. Musím přiznat, že jsme nikdy neuskutečnili žádnou důkladnou prohlídku města. Vždycky jsme viděli pouhé zlomky.<br />
Skoro v každém městě, kterým jsme projížděli, jsem mohl pozorovat více lékáren a také veterinárních služeb. Téměř by člověk řekl, že místní lidé nejsou schopní existovat bez toho, aby brali nějaký prášek. Lékárny patřily k nejnápadnějším známkám se svými osvětlenými zelenými kříži, když jsme nějakým městem projížděli za večerů. Často jsem se sám sebe ptal, jak může tolik lékáren spoluexistovat v jednom městečku. Inu, zdálo se, že jsou všechny užitečné. Býval bych rád věřil, že veteriny na ostrově nejsou určeny pouze pro domácí zvířata, ale též všem těm potulným psům, které jsem mohl vídat snad v každém městě, které jsme navštívili.<br />

A teď se vraťme ke krátkému pobytu v městečku St. Benoît. Vzpomínám, jak jsme procházeli nějakým supermarketem. Podél prostoru pro nakupující tam vedla postranní chodba a jak jsme se blížili k jejímu východu, letmo jsem zahlédl ozdobený vánoční stromek stojící v květináči. Byl to pro mne mimořádný pocit vidět tento vánoční symbol tak daleko od rodné země, kde jsme oslavili Štědrý den 24.12. 2017. Ovšem, že mne zajímalo, jaký druh stromu se používá v této odlehlé části světa. Na rozdíl od mé vlasti, kde nejčastějšími vánočními stromky jsou smrk, jedle a borovice, zde tropický vánoční jehličnan zastupoval blahočet (<i>Araucaria</i>).<br />

Naše pátrání po restauraci nebylo úspěšné. Buď byly zavřené nebo se zdálo, že nenaplňují naše představy, takže naše snaha najít něco jaksi se zvolna změnila ve volné bloumání uličkami a ulicemi, dokud jsme nedošli na rozlehlejší náměstí s křesťanským kostelem. Kostel obklopoval hezký park, kde jsme se na chvíli posadili, abychom se rozhodli, co dělat dál.<br />
Zatímco jsem seděl na nízké zídce oddělující park od ulice, mohl jsem pozorovat pár ptáků, kteří pátrali po potravě v trávníku. Snadno jsem mezi nimi dokázal rozpoznat dva druhy, protože zatímco jeden byl povětšinou zbarvený žlutě, zbarvení druhého bylo převážně jasně červené. Snažil jsem se je vyfotit, ale fotky nejsou dokonalé. V jedné chvíli jsem si povšiml muže, který procházel kol křesťanského kostela. Měl na sobě dlouhou bílou řízu a na hlavě bílou oválnou čapku. Bylo mu asi kol padesátky. Pod bílou řízou spadající k zemi mu bylo sotva vidět nohy ve volných sandálech. Chtěl jsem si ho nepozorovaně vyfotit, ale nebyla k tomu dobrá příležitost. Hádám, že to byl muslimský kněz na cestě do mešity. Po chvíli jsem mohl zahlédnout mladíka oděného ve stejné bílé říze, ale bez čapky na hlavě.<br />

Z našich nahodilých sond v různých městech na ostrově jsem získal ještě jeden významný fakt. Podíváte-li se na všechny fotografie ilustrující tuhle kapitolu a také snímky z předešlých částí seriálu,<br />
nezahlédnete žádné záplavy odpadu. Musím ostrovu udělat poklonu. Jak urbánní tak i non urbánní zóny se udržují čisté a upravené. Má předchozí zkušenost se Sicílií ve Středozemním moři je v tomto ohledu nesrovnatelná.<br />

Město jsme se rozhodli opustit a pokračovat v jízdě. Jak jsme se z parku vydávali k autu na parkovišti opodál, mohli jsme slyšet volání zesílené mikrofonem, jež doléhalo z nepříliš vzdálené mešity.

Venda turned the car from a road to a field path going down to a foot of a long highway bridge. We wanted to approach to a river flowing under the bridge as close as possible. A day before it rained more than usually and if the longer raining happened in this island suddenly almost empty beds of the local streams were full of water going down to the Indian Ocean from the mountains.<br />
I recall as Venda had to go through a big pool a while before than he stopped the car at a place nearby the highway bridge above our heads. Muddy surface of the place was almost dried out but from time to time we had to avoid water pools and wet patches in this terrain. In places the surface was covered with islets of ordinary vegetation composition so typical of all the areas in the world where the man built up something new a not so long time before. I could see neither building machines nor rests of any building materials under the bridge as well as in its surroundings but I could see an untidy terrain occupied again with pioneering plants and the closer we were approaching to the river the denser a vegetation cover was.<br />

We used this traffic knot for many times during our drives to various destinations in the island and always as we were driving the highway bridge across we could glance for a moment a lonely pillar standing in the terrain under us nearby the highway bridge. It looked like the thick Y and its surface was painted with some colored pictures. Now when we found ourselves in the place next to the highway bridge over our heads I could examine it in detail as well as I could take some portraits of it. It has not been clear to me so far if the lonely pillar was meant as to be an art object in the landscape by purpose or if it was a badly installed or positioned pillar by mistake at the very beginning of the highway bridge´s building and if only then its fate was solved out so elegantly. To observe its colorless brothers bearing all the weigh of the bridge on their "arms" like slaves while this one was standing nearby in its colorful coat and with its arms freely in the air was very amusing and ridiculous to me and my partners.<br />

The river´s bank was covered with the denser and taller vegetation and to step down to the very edge of the river meant to wade in water and this was why we limited our motion to a lifted plateau above the river. I payed my attention to some plant species growing there and I photographed some of them. Karel discovered the first specimen of a local snail with a big and pointed conch in a low growth. Unfortunately, I could photograph its conch only because it hid its body in its house.<br />

A while later Karel attracted my attention once again. This time he discovered an interesting thing in a bushy growth separating the plateau from the river´s bank under it. When I came over to him I could see two or three simple strings of color beads hanging from lower branches of juvenile trees. A plate and a small glassy bottle were next items in this bushy terrain. Maybe some Buddhist or Hindu ritual.<br />

We could see the river at short sections among the vegetation only from our place. Its flow was rapid and water was brown in color. Its bed was wide and I could recognize some long green stripes of a water vegetation in its flow. In fact, I would say that it was a smaller river, nothing comparable with big flows of the rivers in my native country. The island´s rivers have been very variable. Water volume of these flows has been dependent on the falls. The more the falls have dropped the more water capacity of the local rivers has been. The Reunion´s rivers have been ranging from total dried out beds to mighty rapid flows. The two phases have always been temporary.<br />

Vzpomínám si, jak musel Venda projet velkou louží okamžik před tím, než vůz zastavil na místě opodál dálničního mostu nad našimi hlavami. Blátivý povrch místa byl téměř vyschlý, ale občas jsme se museli vyhýbat kalužím a vlhkým políčkům v terénu. Místy povrch porůstaly ostrůvky obyčejné vegetační skladby tak charakteristické pro všechny oblasti světa, kde člověk něco nedávno budoval. Pod mostem a také v jeho okolí jsem neviděl žádné stavební stroje či zbytky stavebních materiálů, ale viděl jsem neupravený terén znovu osídlovaný pionýrskými rostlinami a čím více jsme se blížili k řece, tím hustší byl vegetační kryt.<br />

Během našich výjezdů do různých destinací na ostrově jsme tento dopravní uzel využili mnohokrát a pokaždé, když jsme dálniční most přejížděli, mohli jsme na okamžik zahlédnout osamělý pilíř, který stál v terénu pod námi poblíž dálničního mostu. Vypadal jako tlusté písmeno ypsilon a jeho povrch byl pomalován nějakými barevnými obrázky. Teď, když jsme se nacházeli na místě vedle dálničního mostu nad hlavami, mohl jsem si ho podrobně prohlédnout a také jsem si mohl udělat jeho fotky. Až dosud mi není jasné, jestli byl ten osamnělý pilíř míněn jako umělecký objekt v krajině záměrně, anebo, zda to byl špatně instalovaný či umístěný pilíř omylem na samém začátku výstavby dálničního mostu a jestli teprve pak byl jeho osud vyřešen tak elegantně. Pozorovat jeho bezbarvé bratry nesoucí veškerou tíhu mostu na svých "pažích" jako otroci, zatímco tenhle stál opodál v pestrobarevném kabátě a s pažemi volně ve vzduchu bylo pro mne a mé parťáky zábavné a legrační.<br />

Říční břeh porůstala hustší a vyšší vegetace a sestoupit na samý okraj řeky znamenalo brodit se vodou, a proto jsme svůj pohyb omezili na zvýšené plató nad řekou. Pozornost jsem věnoval rostlinným druhům, které tam rostly a některé z nich jsem nafotil. Karel objevil v nízkém porostu první exemplář místního šneka s velkou a zašpičatělou ulitou. Bohužel jsem mohl vyfotit jen ulitu, protože tělo skryl ve svém domku.<br />

Po chvíli Karel upoutal mou pozornost ještě jednou. Tentokrát objevil zajímavost v křovinatém porostu, který odděloval plošinu od říčního břehu pod ní. Když jsem k němu přešel, mohl jsem spatřit dva či tři prosté náhrdelníky z barevných korálků visící z dolních větví mladých stromků. Dalšími položkami v křovitém terénu byly talíř a skleněná lahvička. Asi nějaký budhistický nebo hinduistický rituál.<br />

Z našeho místa jsme mohli řeku vidět jen v krátkých úsecích mezi vegetací. Její tok byl rychlý a měla hnědou barvu. Koryto bylo široké a v toku jsem mohl rozpoznat nějaké zelené pruhy vodní vegetace. Vlastně bych řekl, že šlo o menší řeku, nic srovnatelného s velkými toky řek v mé rodné zemi. Ostrovní řeky jsou velice proměnlivé. Objem vody těchto toků závisí na srážkách. Čím víc srážek spadne, tím větší je vodní kapacita místních řek. Reunionské řeky kolísají od zcela vyschlých koryt po mocné rychlé toky. Obě fáze jsou vždycky přechodné.<br />

On our way to the North alongside the Reunion´s coastline we stopped for a while to see an old bridge. Our sons had already visited to it at their first stay of the island. They wanted to show it to me and Karel and as I think they liked seeing it again, too, after two or three years.<br />

Venda went down to it taking a right turn from the road leading higher in slopes above the coastline. He stopped at a large asphalt parking lot next to the old bridge. The place was almost empty but some visitors or tourists appeared during our short pause there. Of course, again it was a good occasion for us the smokers to light a cigarette.<br />

Unlike their previous visit of this place when Venda and Robert could take a walk the bridge from one end to another, now the access to it was prohibited. Despite this Venda and Karel dared to climb the barrier over and they made several steps to its center. I satisfied myself with wandering about the parking lot and photographing the bridge from it as well as the immediate surroundings. This is why Venda got better photos of the historical bridge than me.<br />

The bridge´s history has not been known to me. Here I am limited to a few of fragmentary information our gays said to me. Of course, I can refer my kind readers to The Google´s services with which help they can find more detailed summary of this historic memory. Indeed, our gays drew their knowledge from the same source. To copy any wisdom from the official sources is not my goal. I am putting the accent to my personal experiences and impressions.<br />

Well, as long as my memory does not trait me then the bridge has been built up during The World War The Second to span a wide ravine falling down to the Indian Ocean from one slope to another. Here, higher above the coastline, the way could be more safety than the way leading alongside the ocean. The most interesting thing with the bridge has been that it has been suspended above the ravine with a help of many thick metal ropes. The bridge has seemed to be getting older rapidly and the risk of its collapse has become to be higher and higher. Instead of its complete reconstruction we found it behind the barrier with a warning panel. It has been a question weather it will be conserved as a historical object or it will be destroyed because of the usual lack of money.<br />

Cestou na sever podél reunionského pobřeží jsme krátce stavěli, abychom se podívali na jeden starý most. Naši synové už ho navštívili při prvním pobytu na ostrově. Chtěli ho ukázat mně a Karlovi a, jak si myslím, rádi se na něj po dvou či třech letech také podívali.<br />

Venda k němu sjel pravou odbočkou ze silnice vedoucí výše ve svazích nad pobřežní čárou. Zastavil na rozlehlém asfaltovém parkovišti vedle starého mostu. Místo bylo skoro prázdné, ale během krátké pauzy se tam nějací návštěvníci nebo turisté objevili. Ovšem, že pro nás kuřáky to zase byla dobrá příležitost zapálit si.<br />

Na rozdíl od předešlé návštěvy místa, kdy se Venda s Robem mohli po mostě procházet z jednoho konce na druhý, teď byl přístup k němu zakázán. Vzdor tomu se Venda s Karlem odvážili zábranu přelézt a popojít několik kroků k jeho středu. Já se spokojil s potulkou po parkovišti a focením mostu z něj a také bezprostředního okolí. Proto Venda získal lepší fotky mostu než já.<br />

Takže, pokud mne paměť nezrazuje, pak byl most postaven během II Světové Války, aby překlenul širokou rokli spadající k Indickému oceánu z jednoho svahu na druhý. Tady, výš nad pobřežím, měla být cesta bezpečnější, než cesta vedoucí podél oceánu. Nejzajímavějším na mostě je, že je nad roklinou zavěšen pomocí mnoha silných kovových lan. Zdá se, že most rychle stárne a riziko jeho zřícení je stále vyšší. Namísto kompletní rekonstrukce jsme ho našli za zátarasem s varovnou tabulkou. Je otázkou, zda bude konzervován jako historický objekt nebo zničen, kvůli obvyklému nedostatku financí.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01901300396804586280noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6262719897332666543.post-87753473867133779932018-02-23T23:45:00.000-08:002018-02-23T23:45:52.388-08:00<br />

To live between an active volcano behind my back and the vast waters of the Indian Ocean in front of me, well, this always can´t be a walk a pink garden I think. And Reunion does belongs to the category of the volcanic islands. Its origin is volcanic. The second highest mountain of the island called Piton de la Furnaise (The Peak of The Furnace in English) has still been active and from time to time it has been able to show out its destructive abilities. Fortunately, at the time of our stay at this beautiful French island the volcano was calm and quiet absolutely. You see, it behaved itself like the wolf in the lambskin.<br />

But at the time of my narration we found ourselves far from its peak hidden behind clouds and mist somewhere higher and deeper in the mountainous inland. In fact Venda stopped the car next to the road passing through a vast and wide slope climbing up higher and higher to the left side above the road and climbing down up to the ocean to its right side at the direction of our drive from the South to the North. If you look at a map of the island then you can find the stretch on the South East coast.<br />

We were not alone in the strange bare landscape. Several other cars stood next to the road and their owners were wandering about a close surroundings the same way as we did. There was a view of the Indian Ocean higher in the slope on the opposite side of the road. Some of visitors used it but we stayed nearby the car. First we were sitting or standing in the place and we were looking about the remote abandoned terrain. Especially the view of the vast waters of the Indian Ocean was fascinating. Its blue water surface was empty and calm from one side to another, from the coast up to the horizon.<br />
The slope under us was climbing down to the coast gradually and though I could not see the very coastline from my place it seemed to fall down to it continuously with no steep cliffs.<br />

While I was sitting there I lighted a cigarette and I enjoyed the vastness of both the Indian Ocean and the strange slope. The open terrain gave no shadow. The Sun was doing its work on the clear sky more than well. The Ocean saturated the air with its vapors more than sufficiently. In short, it was a murderous combination of a hot furnace and a tropical greenhouse. The high relative air humidity made breathing more difficult but we managed to overcome this with no healthy problems.<br />

In fact the slope was an educative show of one of the volcano´s ability. The one which is able to melt ores in its inner furnace and to change them into a fluid material called the lava rock. In a following way the volcano releases the burning matter outside through its crater and it is streaming its slopes down destroying all what is standing in its way. At the same time as it is rolling down it is becoming colder and colder and its motion down the slope getting slower and slower. In the end it losses its fluid character and it returns to its original motionless stadium.<br />

Well, several hours before I could see bizarre forms of the lava rock cliffs. I could examine their structure in a more detailed way. Now, in this part of the coastline, I could compare the previous wild stretches with the lava rock terrain rightly in front of my eyes. And I must say that they differed from each other in many various aspects.<br />

On one hand the previous wild cliffs showed the more different appearance. They were crooked with a lot of crevices, holes, breaks and pits and they were in the tight contact with the ocean. They were dark brown or black in color, mostly they were wet ´cause inundated by the sea water permanently. They were bare, no vegetation grew on its furrowed surface.<br />
On the other hand the lava rock covering the vast slope both above and under the road was at the longer distance from the ocean. Its surface was dry and much more lighter in color than the one of the wild lava rock cliffs. Perhaps the most interesting was its structure. How to describe it as apt as possible? After all to try it is useless if simply I can point out to my photos presented here. Despite the fact let me try to express the character with my own words.<br />
Well, I would say that most of all the crooked lava rock surface resembled a lot of increments of some huge herd of the cattle to me. Separate smaller and bigger pieces of these pseudo cow shits overlapped each other at the direction of the slope´s fall down to the ocean. In places the eruptive rock looked like tufts of some mushrooms growing on three trunks or stubs. Often you could see various wrinkles and furrows forming manifold interesting or beautiful ornaments on surfaces of the eruptive rocks.<br />

As for the vegetation composition of this remarkable habitat it was poor and stereotypical with variable densities from place to place. You could see the places where fast growing young trees or bushes covered the lava rock terrain already as well as the large fields of the bare lava rock where only a few of plant species were limited to crevices and breaks in the crooked terrain. I could recognize two dominant species of the ferns growing out of crevices among the lava rock fragments and also a few of tree seedlings plus a minimum of flowering plant species. In the mean time they have still been awakening to its exact botanic identifications. Some fragments of the lava rock were covered with some lichens, too.<br />

Personally I went further to the interesting terrain but not too far from the road above me. The crooked surface under my feet seemed to be fragile as if you were walking a thin crust threatening to collapse in every moment. But nothing similar happened to me.<br />
We had an information that there was a lava rock cavern somewhere within the vast slope. Its inner room could be full of various fantastic lava artifacts, something like a lava rock analogy of a stalactite cavern. We tried to find it in the terrain under the road for a short time but in vain. Unfortunately, we had no exact GPS coordinates. The lava rock cave could be everywhere within the vast slope.<br />

Obviously this habitat has showed in a very educative way as the first pioneering plant species have been occupying the lava rock terrain gradually after last big eruption of the volcano named Piton de la Furnaise. I do not know exactly how much time flowed away from the last eruption but according to symptoms I could see I would estimate it at a time of seven or ten years.*<br />
The place would have deserved to be explored much more thoroughly. We planned to visit to it once again but this purpose did not came to reality already. Maybe someday next.<br />
<br />
The additional remarks:<br />
* A time later I learnt that the volcano has been one of the most active ones in the world. They have said it has been active annually at various rates.<br />

Žít mezi aktivní sopkou za zády a nesmírnými vodami Indického oceánu před sebou, inu, myslím, že tohle vždy nemůže být procházka růžovou zahradou. A Reunion opravdu do kategorie sopečných ostrovů patří. Jeho původ je vulkanický. Druhá nejvyšší hora ostrova zvaná Piton de la Furnaise (česky Vršek Pece) je pořád aktivní a čas od času umí předvést své ničivé schopnosti. Naštěstí, v době našeho pobytu na tomto krásném francouzském ostrově byla sopka absolutně klidná a tichá. To víte, chovala se jako vlk v rouše beránčím.<br />

Nebyli jsme v té zvláštní holé krajině sami. Vedle silnice stálo několik jiných aut a jejich majitelé se potulovali po blízkém okolí stejně jako my. Výše ve svahu na protější straně silnice byla vyhlídka na Indický oceán. Někteří z návštěvníků ji použili, ale my se zdržovali poblíž auta. Zprvu jsme na místě seděli nebo postávali a rozhlíželi jsme se po tom odlehlém opuštěném terénu. Zejména pohled na nesmírné vody Indického oceánu byl fascinující. Jeho modrá hladina byla prázdná a klidná z jedné strany na druhou, od pobřeží až po obzor. Svah pod námi sestupoval k pobřeží postupně, a třebaže jsem ze svého místa nemohl vidět vlastní pobřeží, zdálo se, že k němu spadá nepřetržitě bez strmých útesů.<br />

Zatímco jsem tam seděl, zapálil jsem si cigaretu a užíval si nesmírnost Indického oceánu i podivného svahu. Otevřený terén neposkytoval žádný stín. Slunce dělalo svou práci na modré obloze víc než dobře. Oceán sytil vzduch svými párami více než dostatečně. Byla to zkrátka vražedná kombinace horké pece a tropického skleníku. Vysoká relativní vlhkost vzduchu znesnadňovala dýchání, ale zvládali jsme tohle překonávat bez zdravotních problémů.<br />
Ten svah byl vlastně názornou ukázkou jedné ze schopností sopky. Té, jež umí roztavit rudy ve své vnitřní peci a přeměnit je v tekutý materiál zvaný láva. Následně sopka uvolňuje žhnoucí hmotu ven kráterem a ta prýští svahy dolů a ničí vše, co jí stojí v cestě. Současně, jak se valí dolů, ochlazuje se a její pohyb dolů se zvolňuje. Nakonec ztrácí svůj tekutý charakter a vrací se k původnímu nehybnému stádiu.<br />
Před několika hodinami jsem mohl vidět bizarní tvary lávových útesů. Mohl jsem si jejich strukturu prohlédnout podrobněji. Nyní, v této části pobřeží, mohl jsem porovnávat předešlé divoké úseky s lávovištěm přímo před očima. A musím říci, že se vzájemně lišily v mnoha aspektech.<br />

Na jedné straně předešlé divoké lávové útesy vykazovaly odlišnější vzhled. Byly křivolaké spoustou štěrbin, prohlubní, trhlin a jam a byly v těsném kontaktu s oceánem. Měly tmavohnědé nebo černé zbarvení, většinou byly mokré, protože permanentně zaplavované mořskou vodou. Byly holé, na jejich rozbráděném povrchu žádná vegetace nerostla.<br />
Na druhé straně láva pokrývající nesmírný svah, jak nad silnicí tak i pod ní, byla od oceánu vzdálenější. Její povrch byl suchý a barevně mnohem světlejší, než povrch divokých lávových útesů. Snad nejzajímavější byla jeho struktura. Jak ji popsat co možná výstižně? Konec konců, zkoušet to je zbytečné, mohu-li poukázat na své fotky zde uvedené. Přesto mi dovolte, abych se pokusil vyjádřit ten charakter svými slovy.<br />
Nu, řekl bych, že nejvíc ze všeho mi ten rozpukaný lávový povrch připomínal spoustu výkalů nějakého ohromného stáda dobytka. Jednotlivé větší nebo menší kusy těchto pseudo-kravinců se vzájemně překrývaly ve směru spádu svahu k moři. Místy se vyvřelina podobala trsům některých hub rostoucích na kmenech či pařezech stromů. Často jsem mohl vidět rozmanité vrásy či rýhy, které na povrchu vyvřelin vytvářely rozmanité zajímavé nebo krásné ornamenty.<br />

Pokud jde o vegetační skladbu této pozoruhodné lokality, byla chudá a stereotypní při různých hustotách od místa k místu. Mohli jste pozorovat místa, kde už rychle rostoucí mladé stromy a keře lávoviště zakrývaly a také velká pole holé lávy, kde se jen nemnoho rostlinných druhů omezovalo na spáry a trhliny v rozpukaném terénu. Rozpoznal jsem dva dominantní druhy kapradin, které vyrůstaly ze štěrbin mezi fragmenty lávy a také pár semenáčků stromů a minimum kvetoucích rostlinných druhů. Prozatím stále čekají na přesné botanické určení. Některé úlomky lávy také porůstal nějaký druh lišejníku.<br />

Osobně jsem do zajímavého terénu zašel dál, ale nepříliš daleko od silnice nade mnou. Zdálo se, že rozpraskaný terén pod mýma nohama je křehký, jako když kráčíte po tenké krustě, která hrozí, že se každou chvíli propadne. Avšak nic podobného se mi nepřihodilo.<br />
Měli jsme informaci, že kdesi v tom nesmírně rozsáhlém svahu je lávová jeskyně. Její vnitřní prostor měl být plný fantastických lávových artefaktů, něco jako lávová analogie krápníkové jeskyně. Krátkou dobu jsme se ji pokoušeli najít v terénu pod silnicí, ale marně. Bohužel jsme neměli žádné přesné GPS souřadnice. Lávová jeskyně mohla být v tom rozsáhlém svahu kdekoliv.<br />

Tahle lokalita očividně názorně ukazovala, jak lávový terén postupně osídlují první průkopnické druhy rostlin po poslední veliké erupci sopky Piton de la Furnaise. Nevím přesně, kolik času od poslední erupce uplynulo, ale podle příznaků, které jsem mohl vidět, bych to odhadoval na dobu sedmi či deseti let.*<br />

Místo by si bývalo zasloužilo prozkoumat důkladněji. Měli jsme v plánu navštívit ho ještě jednou, ale tento záměr se už neuskutečnil. Snad někdy příště.<br />

Dodatečné poznámky:<br />
* O nějakou dobu později jsem se dozvěděl, že sopka je jedním z nejaktivnějších vulkánů na světě. Prý je v různém stupni aktivní každoročně.<br />

A next nice example of the wild nature of some stretches of the Reunion´s coastline was its most southern tip. Venda stopped our rented Dacia Duster car in a muddy parking lot with big pools of water. As soon as I left the car I started photographing an immediate surroundings. I took some pictures of the mountainous inland and then I concentrated on the way leading to the purpose of this stop.<br />

I followed my attendants walking alongside a long woody fence separating the own coastline from the parking lot and a restaurant next to it. There was tall and dense vegetation behind the fence in this stretch making any view of the coastline invisible. I stopped for a moment to photograph a warning panel installed above the low woody fence. I could see there were some next buildings behind the restaurant. Maybe the low small houses had some religious sense, the Christian one. Why I thought about them so I am going to explain for a while.<br />
The restaurant had an open garden with chairs and tables. Most of the sittings were occupied with eating and drinking people. They enjoyed the pleasant atmosphere of the place under parasols because the weather exchanged a rain for the Sun on the scene of the blue sky. Often the visitors formed families with children playing their games around their parents.<br />

Nevertheless we resisted to the restaurant´s baits and we continued in walking further with the woody fence to our left side. A while later we stepped to a strange light wood. When I wrote that the wood was strange so it was meant from the point of the man coming from the Central Europe. Yes, this wood was unusual to me. Give a time to me and I will describe it to you in a more detailed way. But first of all let´s take a look at the greatest attraction of this place, i.e. at its wild coast.<br />

The way to the view of the attractive coast led us to an open plain at the wood´s margin to our right side. We kept going further with the woody low fence to our left side. Of course, on our way we met other people of interest to see this panorama. They formed no crowds so that the way did not resemble similar attractive places full of people in the Central Europe.<br />

The tall and dense growth behind the woody barrier was becoming more and more sporadic and then the view of the coast opened to us in all its awful beauty. We could look at a cracked surface of lava rock cliffs rising high above the Indian Ocean in prolonging distorted fingers like tips with a lot of wider or narrower bays among them. It was as if I found myself on a prow of a gigantic ship or as if I stood up on a bizarre ambit of a fantastic mighty fort or something like this.<br />
First we thought that to enter the cracked field of the cliffs was banned because there was the woody barrier between us and this lava rock terrain. But then we dared to bypass the obstacle in one place where its continuation was interrupted by a narrow pass. By this way we could take a careful walk a crooked back of one of the wider fingers with the better view of the dynamic contact between the cliffs and the Indian Ocean.<br />

Though we could walk the lava rock terrain behind the barrier far we could not approach to its utmost tip because the way to it would have been too much risky. Naturally, none of us wanted to finish our lives up in some of treacherous pits and breaks waiting for a fool with a foolish longing to reach the very edge of this lava rock finger. This was why we stayed within its base only but it was enough to us to see more than it would has been in a place with the barrier in front of us. This position gave us the chance to get back and side looks at the lava rocky cliffs.<br />

The place did not give splendid views only. Our ears were deafened by windy attacks and the shouting surf as well. I recall as I had to hold my smart phone strongly against the windy attacks. To keep a picture on the phone´s display to be in one line was not easy, especially during an audio video recording.<br />
Well, when all our photographing and recording seemed to be satisfied we returned to the plain behind the woody barrier and we walked it over to the light wood with its strange trees to take a rest under their sparse crowns. The tree forming a main component of the wood was noticeable with its bunch of a pile like vertical roots lifting its trunk higher above the ground. The roots were going down to the soil straightly, they were not distorted. Many trees of this species were in fruit and now you can see them on my pictures here.<br />

While my partners were sitting on the ground covered with a low dense growth resembling a moss a bit I used a stub as a seat. Of course I did not forget to photograph the fruits of the tree. You can see them here, too. I must admit that I did not know this species. But my additional studies and searching for the tree in various botanic sources after my return to Prague was successful. Now I know that this stranger to me is <i>Pandanus utilis</i>. When I saw its specimens in the wood nearby the lava rock cliffs it resembled to me something between <i>Durio</i> the genus and <i>Artocarpus</i> the genus.<br />

Additionally I learnt something more about the low dense growth covering the soil under the trees in the light wood. According to my sources it was a grass named <i>Zoysia tenuifolia</i> in Latin.<br />

While we were taking a rest in the wood an older woman came to us and stopped. She covered her head with a part of her clothing preventing it from the burning sun rays but it seemed to be useless already. The pour woman was confused evidently. Standing above our sitting figures she was talking and talking very quickly something in French, maybe some biblical texts. She did not care of whether we listened to her religious litany or not. We behaved indifferently and a while later she stopped talking and left us. I could observe her clinging to a new victim not far away from the place where we were sitting. The low buildings behind the restaurant seemed to be a clue to the woman. I noticed a writing on a face of one of them. Then I thought to myself it was some Christian congregation. Unfortunately, neither I nor Venda photographed the low small houses.<br />

On our way back to the car I stopped for a short while to photograph a tuft of mushrooms. The mushrooms grew under trees of <i>Pandanus utilis</i> the species. Several minutes later we were getting in the car so that we could continue on in our investigative drive alongside the coastal line.<br />

Následoval jsem společníky kráčející podél dlouhé dřevěné ohrady oddělující vlastní pobřeží od parkoviště a restaurace vedle něj. Vysoká a hustá vegetace za ohradou v tomto úseku jakýkoliv výhled na pobřeží zneviditelňovala. Na chvilku jsem se zastavil, abych si nafotil varovnou tabuli instalovanou nad nízkou dřevěnou ohradou. Mohl jsem vidět, že za restaurací jsou nějaké další budovy. Ty nízké domky měly asi nějaký náboženský smysl, křesťanský. Proč jsem o nich tak smýšlel, vysvětlím za chvíli.<br />
Restaurace měla otevřenou zahrádku se židlemi a stolky. Většinu z toho sezení okupovali pojídající a popíjející lidé. Užívali si příjemnou atmosféru místa pod slunečníky, protože počasí vyměnilo déšť za slunce na scéně modré oblohy. Návštěvníci často tvořili rodiny s dětmi, které si hrály své hry kol rodičů.<br />

Restauračním návnadám jsme nicméně odolali a s ohradou po levé straně pokračovali jsme v chůzi dál. Po chvíli jsme vešli do podivného světlého háje. Když jsem napsal, že ten háj byl podivný, tak to bylo míněno z hlediska člověka, který pochází ze Střední Evropy. Ano, tento les byl pro mne neobvyklý. Dejte mi čas a já vám ho popíšu podrobněji. Ale nejdříve ze všeho se podívejme na největší atrakci místa, tj. na jeho divoké pobřeží.<br />

Cesta k vyhlídce na atraktivní pobřeží nás vedla na otevřenou planinu při okraji háje po naší pravé straně. Šli jsme pořád dál s dřevěnou nízkou ohradou po levé straně. Samozřejmě jsme cestou potkávali jiné zájemce o zhlédnutí panorámatu. Netvořili žádné davy, takže cesta nepřipomínala podobná atraktivní místa plná lidí ve Střední Evropě.<br />

Vysoký a hustý porost za dřevěnou zábranou řídnul a pak se nám otevřel výhled na pobřeží v celé své hrůzné kráse. Mohli jsme se dívat na rozpukaný povrch lávových útesů, které se vysoko nad Indický oceán zvedaly v prodlužujících se pokřivených prstovitých cípech s mnoha širšími a užšími zátokami mezi nimi. Bylo to, jako bych se ocitl na přídi nějaké gigantické lodi nebo jako bych stanul na ochozu nějaké fantastické mocné pevnosti či tak podobně.<br />
Zprvu jsme mysleli, že vstup na rozpraskané pole lávových útesů je zakázaný, protože mezi námi a lávovým terénem byla dřevěná zábrana. Ale pak jsme se odvážili obejít překážku v jednom místě, kde její nepřetržitost narušoval úzký průchod. Tímto způsobem jsme se mohli procházet po kostrbatém hřbetě jednoho z širších prstů s lepší vyhlídkou na dynamický kontakt mezi útesy a Indickým oceánem.<br />

I když jsme se mohli procházet po lávovém terénu za zábranou, zdaleka jsme nemohli dosáhnout jeho nejzaššího cípu, protože cesta k němu by bývala až moc riskantní. Nikdo z nás nechtěl skončit život v některé ze zrádných jam a trhlin, jež čekaly na blázna s pošetilou touhou dosáhnout samotný okraj tohoto lávového prstu. Proto jsme se zdržovali pouze v rozsahu jeho základny, ale stačilo nám to k tomu, abychom viděli víc, než by tomu bývalo na místě se zábranou před námi. Tato pozice nám poskytla možnost získat zpětné a boční pohledy na lávové útesy.<br />

Místo neposkytovalo jen velkolepé výhledy. Naše uši ohlušovaly větrné poryvy a také řvoucí příboj. Vzpomínám, jak jsem musel silně držet chytrý mobil proti větrným poryvům. Udržet obraz na displeji mobilu, aby byl v jedné linii, nebylo snadné, zvláště během audio video nahrávání.<br />
Když se zdálo, že je naše focení a nahrávání uspokojeno, vrátili jsme se na planinu za dřevěnou zábranou a přešli jsme ji ke světlému háji s jeho podivnými stromy, abychom si odpočali pod jejich řídkými korunami. Strom, který tvořil nejnápadnější složku lesa, byl nápadný svazkem kůlovitých svislých kořenů, které jeho kmen zvedaly výš nad zem. Kořeny sestupovaly do půdy přímo, nebyly pokřivené. Mnoho stromů toho druhu bylo v plodu a teď je zde rovněž můžete vidět na mých obrázcích.<br />

Zatímco parťáci seděli na zemi pokryté nízkým hustým porostem, který trochu připomínal mech, já použil jako sedátka pařez. Musím přiznat, že jsem ten strom neznal. Avšak dodatečné studium a pátrání po něm v různých botanických zdrojích po návratu do Prahy bylo úspěšné. Už vím, že tento cizinec pro mne je pandán <i>Pandanus utilis</i>. Když jsem spatřil jeho exempláře v háji opodál lávových útesů, připomínal mi něco mezi rodem durian (<i>Durio</i>) a rodem chlebovník (<i>Artocarpus</i>).<br />

Zatímco jsme v háji odpočívali, přišla k nám starší žena a zastavila se. Zakrývala si hlavu částí z oděvu a chránila ji tak před palčivými slunečními paprsky, ale zdálo se, že už je to zbytečné. Ta ubožačka byla zjevně pomatená. Stála nad našimi sedícími postavami a velice rychle cosi vykládala francouzsky, snad nějaké biblické texty. Bylo jí jedno, zda její náboženské litanii nasloucháme či ne. Chovali jsme se netečně a po chvíli v řeči ustala a opustila nás. Mohl jsem ji pozorovat, jak se lepí na novou oběť nedaleko od místa, kde jsme seděli. Zdálo se, že nízké budovy za restaurací jsou jakýmsi vodítkem k té ženě. Povšiml jsem si nápisu na průčelí jedné z nich. Tehdy jsem si pomyslel, že to je nějaká křesťanská kongregace. Bohužel, já ani Venda jsme ty nízké domky nefotili.<br />

I introduced a common model of the Reunion´s beach to you in the previous part. But no all parts of the island´s coastline are occupied with beaches. Most of the Reunion´s coastline is formed by high steep rocky cliffs where the waves of the Indian Ocean show out their power in extra effective ways. Besides these rocky cliffs, as long as they are accessible to their very edges, give many romantic and dramatic experiences to their visitors.<br />

Because our sons (Venda and Robert) had already known some coastal stretches of this character during their first stay at the island one of our first drives led to the Devil´s Tip at St. Pierre the town.<br />
A road is going alongside this coastal stretch and the only thing you must do is to find the right turn to it. Either you can let your car in a parking lot next to the road or you can drive up to the very edge of the cliffs. Venda chose the second possibility and he stopped the car not too far from the margin. We found ourselves on a mildly waved plain. Its surface was covered with a muddy soil changing into a bare lava rocky tips. There was neither trees nor bushes on the plateau, I could see a very sporadic vegetation cover only of which pour species diversity was reduced to a minimum of plant species on the surface of the rocky lava tips penetrating in the sea.<br />

The lava margin of the whole long plateau was wavy thus forming a system of wider or narrower bays. In the place of our view the plateau did not rise too high above the sea and there were many ways how to step down to the sea with any risk. But none of us made use of the chance.<br />

The bare surface of the marginal lava cliffs or tips was craggy and full of small or wider holes or crevices so that you had to avoid many pools because the sea surf bumping into the cliffs at regular tempo was flooding them with water sprays.<br />

Standing on this lava extension with its end further in the ocean in front of me I could see a wider bay to my left side. The bay was limited by a higher rocky cliff on the opposite side. It exceeded further in the ocean than the lava extension I was standing on. There were lower rocks in the sea water at its foot. This point was the most marked of the whole coast at my sight. I could observe the most effective impacts of the waves rightly on this dramatic steep cliff. No doubts I was looking at The Devil´s Tip at a distance. I could imagine myself the long row of ships wrecking in this evil place in the past, all the sailors struggling for their lives. How many of them could survive? How many of them became to be victims of the sharks occurring at high numbers in the local waters?<br />

V předešlé části jsem vám představil jakýsi obecný model reunionské pláže. Avšak ne všechny části ostrovního pobřeží zabírají pláže. Většinu reunionského pobřeží formují vysoké skalnaté útesy, kde vlny Indického oceánu předvádějí svou sílu mimořádně efektivně. Navíc tyhle skalnaté útesy, pokud jsou přístupné na samé okraje, poskytují návštěvníkům mnoho romantických a dramatických zážitků.<br />

Protože naši synové (Venda a Robert) už poznali některé pobřežní úseky této povahy během svého prvního pobytu na ostrově, jeden z našich prvních výjezdů vedl k Ďáblovu výběžku u městečka St. Pierre.<br />
Podél tohoto pobřežního úseku probíhá silnice a jediné, co musíte udělat je najít správnou odbočku k němu. Buď můžete nechat auto na parkovišti vedle silnice, nebo můžete zajet až k samému okraji útesů. Venda zvolil druhou možnost a zastavil auto nepříliš daleko od okraje. Nacházeli jsme se na mírně zvlněné pláni. Její povrch pokrývala blátivá půda přecházející v holé lávové výběžky. Na plošině nebyly žádné stromy ani křoviny, mohl jsem vidět jen velmi sporý vegetační kryt, jehož druhová rozmanitost se snižovala na minimum nemnoha druhů na povrchu skalnatých lávových výběžků pronikajících do moře.<br />

Lávový okraj celého táhlého plató byl zvlněný, a tak tvořil soustavu širších či užších zátok. V místě našeho výhledu se plató nezvedalo moc vysoko nad moře a na okraji útesů existovalo mnoho způsobů, jak sestoupit k moři bez rizika. Ale žádný z nás té možnosti nevyužil.<br />

Stál jsem na tomto lávovém prodloužení s koncem dále v oceánu před sebou a po levé straně jsem mohl vidět širší zátoku. Na protější straně zátoku omezoval vyšší skalnatý útes. Přesahoval dále do oceánu než lávová extenze, na níž jsem stál. Na jeho úpatí byla v moři nižší skaliska. Tento bod byl z celého pobřeží v mém dohledu nejvýraznější. Mohl jsem pozorovat nejefektnější dopady vln právě na tento dramatický strmý útes. Bezpochyby jsem se díval na Ďáblův výběžek v dálce. Uměl jsem si představit dlouhou řadu lodí ztroskotávajících na tomto neblahém místě v minulosti, všechny ty námořníky zápolící o život. Kolik z nich dokázalo přežít? Kolik z nich se stalo obětí žraloků, kteří se ve zdejších vodách vyskytují ve velkých počtech?<br />

The first beach we visited to in Reunion the island was not far away from St. Leu the town where we had our base. As I could see later during visits of other beaches I can state that their character was constant so that when I describe the first one you will receive a good common picture of the average Reunion´s beach.<br />
I must point out that my free exploration of the Reunion´s beaches did not include all beaches of the island but a part of it only, i.e. the beaches of its south west coastline. Nevertheless I suppose that a similar character can be ascribed to the other beaches of this charming tropical island, too.<br />

My first contact with a beach begun in a parking lot. When we got out I could see no beach at my sight, no open sandy terrain in the way to the sea. I could see a shadowy wood only. The wood was in a mild slope. One tree species dominated in its composition. It was the same species as the one growing in front of our veranda. I noticed a terrain under my naked feet in Vietnamese shoes. It was sandy and covered with dead twigs and tiny cones. Trunks of many specimens of the dominant tree were standing on tangles of their roots. As if the trunks had a lot of distorted bizarre feet. Also I registered a tuft of a fungus growing at an old stub.<br />
A while later we reached a top of the mild slope and now we could see the sea among the trunks of the wood-park as well as a stripe of the beach. We were approaching to the wood-park boundary.<br />

I observed no crowds of people on that day. The own beach was almost empty and then I could enjoy the beauty of the free open room formed by the ocean, the sky and the sandy band only.<br />
Of course, the wood-park, now behind us, was not continuous, in places it was interrupted by an open places and here and there we could see a stand or a restaurant. But first buildings I saw as we were passing through the wood-park were two low a tower like things and I thought them to be observatories of beach watchers. Nearby the low towers we encountered upon a warning panel informing us in French of the risk of the sharks. This warning was a part of every beach I could have the chance to visit to in Reunion. Unfortunately or fortunately I never glanced the famous triangular back fin cutting through the ocean´s surface.<br />

Last trees growing in the sand of the very beach band were palms in sporadic numbers. As if they wanted to take a bathe in the Indian Ocean. As if they wanted to put an accent to their slim and elegant silhouettes in the empty airy room. Often cartoonists draw a remote island with a few of palms growing in its coast. Now I have already known that this has been no exaggeration. That´s true: The palms have formed a frontal line in the sand at the sea.<br />

A ridiculous story happened to me just on this beach. With my trousers tucked up to my knees for the first time I decided to step into a shallow surf of the Indian Ocean. My purpose was simple. I wanted to record the structure of the waving surf as close as possible with my smart phone. But as soon as my naked feet in Vietnamese shoes entered the shallow water and I did two or three steps forward the surf started coming back to me. I underestimated its return and its power! My previous experience with wading in a surface with no troubles was from a Sicily coast nearby Catania the city but it was The Mediterranean Sea! In one moment I was standing with the sea water above my ankles holding my smart phone in one hand and recording the surf in front of me. In the second moment the situation changed rapidly. Suddenly I was standing in the sea water flooding rims of my tucked trousers up. I tried to do one step or two with my back to the coast without turning the phone video-recording off but I lost the right Vietnamese shoe just in the moment as the surf took a back motion taking with it my loosen shoe. I made a poor try to catch the shoe but it was out of my reach already. I forgot to turn my phone off totally. It did not ceased recording the scene in which I was becoming the funniest element. In the moment when I felt the sandy bed under my feet to be started moving like an escalator in a supermarket I tried to turn myself to the coast and to leave the mighty element. But my balance system was so confused already that I lost my balance and fell in the sea water in all my length together with the smart phone. A moment later I was on my feet again and wet to the skin I managed to stumble to the sandy land at last. I think my partners were watching my theater with a great amusement. This was the way how I was baptized by the Indian Ocean.<br />
Karel saved my Vietnamese shoe as it was returning on a next back wave. My smart phone survived my baptism well but it refused to charge its battery for several hours till its contact with a cable was quite dry. But it did not loss its function. In that evening I could replayed the recording to the rest of our crew in our veranda. The recording has been ended up with a reverse picture as if I took it from a looping air plain immediately before its crash. I have had this memorial video-recording in my black box till now and it has been stored in the memory of my main computer as well.<br />

We were in the beach of my baptism second time in total. The second visit showed us the beach to be much more crowded than it was for the first time but, strangely, no swimmers were in the sea. Karel, far a greatest lover of bathing of us, put his clothes off and with no hesitation he entered the sea. Robert gave our GoPro camera to him to take some audio video recordings in the sea. But Karel enjoyed the sea water for a short while only because suddenly a sharp whistle was audible from somewhere in the beach. The signal was given by a beach watcher and Karel had to leave his beloved medium. It was not much sure of why exactly bathing was banned in that time but nobody explained it to us. Maybe a shark was seen swimming nearby the beach or it was some other reason. None of us could speak in French so it was useless to try to learn something more. Nevertheless we got a not too long recording from Karel´s short stay in the sea water due to the GoPro camera. It has included the sharp whistle finishing the Karel´s bathing up as well.<br />

My purpose was not to take a bathe and then while Karel was in the sea I was wandering about the beach and from time to time I was photographing something what was interesting or attracting to me. I noticed both smaller and bigger fragments of dead remnants of some sea corals or dead rests of the sea urchins lying on the sand. These items seemed to be the most abundant at the rim of the ocean. I tried to search for any else rests of the sea life such as a starfish was but my efforts were unsuccessful. The Indian Ocean around all the island seemed to be very abundant at long coral barriers off the shore. We could observe as the sea waves were rising at a distance as if the sea water bumped to some invisible obstacles from the perfect view from our veranda many times and this phenomena could be observed in many other parts of the coastline we had the chance to see. An indirect prove of it may be that the Reunion´s beaches were not covered with fine sand only because it contended a lot of coarse and hard fragments of sea corals including other tiny things with very sharp edges, of both inorganic and organic origins. Of course, this fragments made a way to the sea more difficult. We had to choose our way with a great carefulness otherwise we exposed your naked feet to an injury. I could observe children in various beaches and I had to admire their skill to avoid all sharp things laying on their ways between the sea and the dry land quickly and easy. In comparison with them at the beginning I walked this terrain slowly and in a very clumsy way but gradually I became to be more familiar with it. But various dangers threatened your naked feet not only in dry stretches of the beaches. The sea bed could be treacherous in a similar way, too.<br />

První pláž, kterou jsme na Reunionu navštívili, nebyla daleko od městečka St. Leu, kde jsme měli základnu. Jak jsem mohl vidět později, během návštěv jiných pláží, mohu kostatovat, že jejich charakter byl konstantní, takže když tu první popíšu, získáte dobrý obecný obraz průměrné reunionské pláže.<br />
Musím podotknout, že můj volný průzkum reunionských pláží nezahrnoval všechny pláže ostrova, ale pouze část z něj, tj. pláže jeho jihozápadního pobřeží. Nicméně, předpokládám, že podobný charakter může být připsán také ostatním plážím tohoto okouzlujícího ostrova.<br />

Můj první kontakt s pláží začal na parkovišti. Když jsme vystoupili, žádnou pláž v dohledu jsem neviděl, žádný otevřený písčitý terén ve směru k moři. Viděl jsem jen stinný háj. Les byl v mírném svahu. V jeho skladbě převládal jeden druh. Byl to stejný druh jako ten, co rostl před naší verandou. Všímal jsem si terénu pod bosýma nohama ve vietnamkách. Byl písčitý a pokrytý větévkami a drobounkými šištičkami. Kmeny mnoha exemplářů toho převládajícího stromu stály na spletích kořenů. Jako by ty kmeny měly spousty pokřivených bizarních nohou. Zaznamenal jsem také trs nějaké houby rostoucí u starého pařezu.<br />
O chvíli později jsme dosáhli vrcholu mírného svahu a teď už jsme mezi kmeny leso-parku mohli vidět moře a také pruh pláže. Blížili jsme se k hranici leso-parku.<br />

Toho dne jsem žádné davy lidí nepozoroval. Vlastní pláž byla skoro prázdná, a tudíž jsem se mohl těšit z krásy toho volného otevřeného prostoru tvořeného jen oceánem, oblohou a písečným pásem.<br />
Ovšem, že lesopark, nyní za námi, nebyl nepřetržitý, místy ho přerušovala otevřená místa a tu a tam jsme viděli stánek nebo restauraci. Avšak první stavby, které jsem uviděl, jak jsme procházeli lesoparkem, byly dvě nízké věžovité věci a já je považuju za pozorovatelny strážců pláže. Opodál nízkých věží jsme narazili na varovnou tabuli, která nás ve francouzštině informovala o riziku žraloků. Tohle upozornění bylo součástí každé pláže, kterou jsem měl možnost na Reunionu navštívit. Bohužel či naštěstí, nikdy jsem proslulou trojúhlou hřbetní ploutev prořezávající se hladinou oceánu nezahlédl.<br />

Poslední stromy rostoucí v písku samotného plážového pásma byly palmy v malých počtech. Jako by se chtěly vykoupat v Indickém oceáně. Jako by chtěly zdůraznit své štíhlé a elegantní siluety v tom prázdném vzdušném prostoru. Karikaturisté často kreslí odlehlý ostrov s pár palmami rostoucími na jeho pobřeží. Teď už vím, že tohle žádnou nadsázkou není. Je to pravda: Palmy tvoří v písku u moře přední linii.<br />

Právě na téhle pláži se mi stala směšná historka. S kalhotami vykasanými ke kolenům jsem se poprvé rozhodl vejít do mělkého příboje Indického oceánu. Můj záměr byl prostý. Chtěl jsem si natočit strukturu vlnícího se příboje, co nejblíže chytrým mobilem. Ale jakmile mé bosé nohy ve vietnamkách vstoupily do mělké vody a udělal jsem pár kroků kupředu, příboj se začal vracet ke mně. Jeho návrat a sílu jsem podcenil! Předešlou zkušenost s broděním v příboji jsem měl ze sicilského pobřeží opodál města Catanie, ale to bylo Středozemní moře! V jedné chvíli jsem stál v mořské vodě nad kotníky, držel jsem v ruce chytrý mobil a nahrával si příboj před sebou. Ve druhé chvíli se situace rapidně změnila. Pojednou jsem stál v mořské vodě, která mi zaplavovala okraje vykasaných kalhot. Pokusil jsem se udělat pár kroků zády k pobřeží, aniž bych vypnul videonahrávání mobilu, ale ztratil jsem pravou vietnamku právě v momentě, když příboj vzal zpětný pohyb, berouce uvolněnou vietnamku s sebou. Chabě jsem se pokusil vietnamku zachytit, ale už byla mimo můj dosah. Mobil jsem úplně zapomněl vypnout. Neustával nahrávat scénku, v níž jsem se stal nejlegračnějším prvkem. V okamžiku, kdy jsem měl pocit, že písčité dno pod nohama mi začíná ujíždět jako ekalátor v supermarketu, pokusil jsem se otočit k pobřeží a opustit ten mocný živel. Avšak můj rovnovážný systém byl už tak zmatený, že jsem pozbyl rovnováhy a poroučel jsem se do mořské vody spolu s mobilem v celé své délce. Ihned jsem byl zase na nohou a promočený na kost zvládl jsem konečně doklopýtat na písčitou souši. Myslím, že parťáci sledovali mé divadlo s velkým pobavením. Takhle mě Indický oceán pokřtil.<br />
Karel zachránil mou vietnamku, jak se vracela na další zpětné vlně. Chytrý mobil přežil můj křest dobře, ale po několik hodin odmítal dobít baterii, dokud jeho kontakt s kabelem nebyl zcela suchý. Ale funkčnost neztratil. Toho večera jsem mohl nahrávku přehrát zbytku naší posádky na verandě. Nahrávka je zakončena obráceným obrazem jako bych ji pořídil z lopingujícího letadla bezprostředně před havárií. Mám tuhle památnou videonahrávku ve své černé skříňce dodnes a je rovněž uložena v paměti mého hlavního kompu.<br />

Na pláži mého křtu jsme byli celkem dvakrát. Druhá návštěva nám pláž ukázala mnohem lidnatější než tomu bylo poprvé, ale divné bylo, že v moři nebyli žádní plavci. Karel, daleko největší milovník koupání z nás, se svlékl a bez váhání vstoupil do moře. Robert mu dal GoPro kameru, aby v moři pořídil nějaké záznamy. Ale Karel si užíval mořské vody jenom krátkou chvíli, protože pojednou byl slyšitelný odkudsi z pláže ostrý hvizd. Ten signál vydal strážce pláže a Karel musel své milované médium opustit. Nebylo moc jisté, proč bylo v tom čase koupání zakázáno, ale nikdo nám to nevysvětlil. Snad poblíž pláže plaval žralok, nebo to byl nějaký jiný důvod. Nikdo z nás francouzky neuměl, takže bylo zbytečné pokoušet se dozvědět něco víc. Přesto jsme získali díky kamerce GoPro nepříliš dlouhou nahrávku z Karlova krátkého pobytu v mořské vodě. Zahrnuje rovněž ostrý hvizd zakončující Karlovo koupání.<br />

Mým záměrem nebylo vykoupat se, a tudíž, zatímco Karel byl v moři, já se toulal po pláži a občas jsem vyfotil něco, co mě zajímalo nebo přitahovalo. Všímal jsem si meších a větších mrtvých ostatků některých mořských korálů nebo mrtvých zbytků mořských ježků ležících na písku. Zdálo se, že tyto položky jsou při mořském okraji nejhojnější. Pokoušel jsem se pátrat po nějakých jiných zbytcích mořského života jako je řeba mořská hvězdice, ale mé úsilí bylo neúspěšné. Zdálo se, že Indický oceán kol celého ostrova je opodál pobřeží bohatý na dlouhé korálové útesy. Mnohokrát jsme z výhledu z naší verandy mohli pozorovat, jak se v dálce mořské vlny vzdouvají, jako by narážely na nějaké neviditelné překážky a tento jev se dal pozorovat na mnoha jiných částech pobřeží, které jsme měli možnost vidět. Nepřímým důkazem toho snad může být, že pláže reunionské nepokrývá jenom jemný písek, neboť obsahuje spoustu drsných a tvrdých úlomků mořských korálů včetně dalších titěrností s ostrými okraji, anorganického i organického původu. Samozřejmě, že tyto fragmenty cestu do moře více znesnadňují. Museli jsme si cestu do moře vybírat s velkou opatrností, jinak jsme bosé nohy vystavovali poranění. Na různých plážích jsem pozoroval děti a musel jsem se obdivovat jejich šikovnosti vyhýbat se všem ostrým věcem ležícím na jejich cestách mezi mořem a souší hbitě a lehce. Ve srovnání s nimi jsem tím terénem kráčel velmi neohrabaně, ale postupně jsem tomu přivykal. Avšak podobná nebezpečí hrozila vašim bosým nohám nejen v suchých úsecích pláží. Podobně zrádné mohlo být také mořské dno.<br />
