These lakes near Drei Zinnen Hutte looked so enticing, that I went down there to take photos rather than relax like the rest of our group.
Day five was from Durrenstein Hutte/Rifugio Vallandro to Rifugio A. Locatelli/Dreizinnenhütte, another big day of almost 20km with descents totalling 865m and ascents totalling 1237m.
After leaving the hut, we had a gentle climb to alpine meadows, then down a gully and an aided trail around Strudelkopf and steeply down to a main road which we crossed over before heading along route 102 and the long ascent up to Tre Cime di Lavaredo - the famous three peaks.
I process my photos with Lightroom as well as Skylum's Luminar and find it easy to use with great results. Here is a link if anyone is interested in trying it out and with a $US10 discount: skylum.grsm.io/janetteasche8660
My first view of the Avenue of the Volcanoes at 6:52 am (a 4h58m climb) from the Refugio (Hut).
There are several volcanoes, but the most striking are the Chimborazo on your right (I will climb it tomorrow), the highest in the world and Cotopaxi, the second highest volcano in Ecuador (I climbed it in the first 24 hours).

Climbing an active volcano is complicated.
The crater is just below me. It took years for the Ecuadorian government to release climbing permits.
Me knowing the risks and signing the papers. It is a great pleasure for Pachamama to accept me, agradiseyki.

9-shot, 180° stitched panorama of the Shanghai Shipyard Bridge. A dual steel bridge at the former "Shanghai No. 1 Shipyard" location in Pudong Lujiazui.
The bridge has been constructed over the exits of the former dry docks and is illuminated red at night. This is a part of the northern extension of the Lujiazui Riverside Promenade along the Huangpu River. A stretch of riverside that has been occupied by warehouses, quays and shipyards is converted into a park-like recreation area.
With the development of the Lujiazui Central Financial District Phase II in full swing, the riverside will be the recreational area of this mega-project.
On the right, in the distant background, is the Shanghai International Cruise Center, the downtown berthing point for large cruise ships.

Collage from 3 photos of fading purple coneflowers (Echinacea purpurea) in late summer. The still beautifully colored flowers become paler and slowly turn into small sculptures.
An interesting and beautiful process to follow.

After a massive star exploded, it left behind this supernova remnant observed by Chandra X-ray Observatory and the Hubble Space Telescope. The Chandra data (red, green and blue) show multimillion-degree gas and the blast wave from the supernova. The light brown region in the upper right of the remnant is a dense cloud of gas and dust that reflects optical light detected by Hubble.
This image is part of a collection of archiveed images made by “astronomy artist” Judy Schmidt, to help recognize #ArchivesMonth. All of the objects in this new archive collection are located in the Large Magellanic Cloud, or LMC, which is a small satellite galaxy to Milky Way.
This year, NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory celebrates its 20th year in space exploring the extreme universe.

Its a testament to persistence. I live about 45 minutes from this viewpoint, Jonsrud Viewpoint, near Sandy Oregon. Because this is fairly close, and so cool looking, an image form here has been on my list for a long time. And I go, often. Every time a strikeout. This is the first image I have ever posted from here. I have been there about 6 times, and I finally walked away with an image I liked.
This is a tough spot to shoot. It has great fog in the valley in the morning, but sunrises back-lite Mt. Hood. You can shoot a sunset, but then you don't get the fog. You can see this in many of the mages people post from here. They have fog, and good color in the sky, and then they wash out Hood in the processing and it looks horrible. You just can't get it all when you shoot from here unless you let your tripod sit there all day and shoot both. However, then creeps in the third issue. Clouds. If you live in Portland you know, Hood is a cloud magnet. If you want a sunrise with clouds to catch the color, then you often (99.999 percent of the time) loose Hood in those clouds. If you see Hood, you usually have no clouds. To get hood with clouds around her but not obscuring her, you need patience, and tons of it.
So in this image, I opted for the fog. Clouds came in about 10 minutes after I shot this, but they swallowed Hood. Sigh. Not an easy place to shoot.
The last challenge, the right tripod location. You have to get here early to get the primo tripod spot. Here, I had to show up 1.5 hours before sunrise and wait there, to steak out my spot. When I walked away there was about 12 photographers there. I can't imagine how many there would be if the conditions were even more ideal.
So my hat is off to anyone who got the great trifecta- detail on Hood, colored clouds in the sky and fog in the valley. Its a near impossible feat.
The island of Incahuasi, in the center of the Salar of Uyuni, populated by a multitude of cactus, is the ideal place for an overview of this vast salt desert.

Andalusia is located in southern Spain and covers an area of 8 provinces. Andalusia is the second largest autonomous region in Spain. Beautiful Andalucía, the land of olives, oranges, sunflowers, beautiful mountain ranges and valleys, nice white mountain villages with beautiful squares, is a bridge between two continents, Africa and Europe, and is the point where the Atlantic Ocean and the Mediterranean Sea meet. There is something for everyone in Andalusia, from culture to beautiful terraces, sights, long beaches, beautiful inland areas with beautiful reservoirs, mountains and nice villages to visit. Málaga is second-most populous city of Andalusia. Known to many as the capital of the Costa del Sol, Málaga is more than a seaside city. Málaga's history spans about 2,800 years, making it one of the oldest cities in Europe. It was founded about 770 BC by the Phoenicians as Malaka. The archaeological remains and monuments from the Phoenician, Roman, Arabic and Christian eras make the historic center of the city an "open museum", displaying its history of nearly 3,000 years. With powerful walls visible from almost anywhere in the city, Málaga’s Alcazaba is a Moorish fortress palace and valuable monument from the Islamic era. Just down the hill, beyond the outer walls of the Alcazaba is a Roman Theatre the best ancient monument in the city.
Málaga is one of the oldest cities in Spain and hallmarks of its rich past are scattered across Malaga: the cobbled streets of the old quarter, its mountainside Roman Amphitheatre, the Moorish citadels of the Alcazaba and Gilfarbaro. And even once the sight-seeing is done, there’s still a city full of rooftop bars, gleaming boutique stores and nearby beaches to explore. At our first roundabout of Málaga we have such a nice vista all around town. The fountain of the Three Graces in the centre of the roundabout and the Moorish fortress Alcazaba and Jardines de Pedro Luis Alonso on the background. The roundabout constitutes an important axis where the Park promenade, port of Malaga meet the Alcazaba tunnel.
Andalusië ligt in zuid Spanje en beslaat een gebied van 8 provincies. Andalusië de op één na grootste autonome regio in Spanje en meer dan twee keer zo groot als Nederland. Het mooie Andalusië, het land van de olijven, sinaasappels, zonnebloemen, mooie bergketens en valleien, leuke witte bergdorpen met mooie pleintjes, is een brug tussen twee continenten, Afrika en Europa, en is het punt waar de Atlantische Oceaan en de Middellandse Zee elkaar ontmoeten. Er is voor elk wat wils in Andalusië, van cultuur tot mooie terrasjes, bezienswaardigheden, lange stranden, prachtige binnenlanden met mooie stuwmeren, bergen en leuke dorpen om te bezoeken. Málaga is de tweede meest bevolkte stad van Andalusië. Málaga is bij velen bekend als de hoofdstad van de Costa del Sol en is meer dan een stad aan zee. De geschiedenis van Málaga beslaat ongeveer 2.800 jaar en is daarmee een van de oudste steden van Europa. Het werd gesticht rond 770 voor Christus door de Feniciërs als Malaka. De archeologische overblijfselen en monumenten uit de Fenicische, Romeinse, Arabische en christelijke tijdperken maken van het historische centrum van de stad een "open museum", met een geschiedenis van bijna 3000 jaar. Met dikke muren zichtbaar vanuit bijna overal in de stad, is Alcazaba Alcazaba een Moors vestingpaleis en een waardevol monument uit de islamitische tijd. Net de heuvel af, voorbij de buitenmuren van het Alcazaba, is een Romeins theater het beste oude monument in de stad. Bij de eerste rotonde in Málaga hebben we zo'n mooi uitzicht over de hele stad. De fontein van de drie nimfen in het midden van de rotonde en het Moorse fort Alcazaba op de achtergrond.

Andalusia is located in southern Spain and covers an area of 8 provinces. Andalusia is the second largest autonomous region in Spain. Beautiful Andalucía, the land of olives, oranges, sunflowers, beautiful mountain ranges and valleys, nice white mountain villages with beautiful squares, is a bridge between two continents, Africa and Europe, and is the point where the Atlantic Ocean and the Mediterranean Sea meet. There is something for everyone in Andalusia, from culture to beautiful terraces, sights, long beaches, beautiful inland areas with beautiful reservoirs, mountains and nice villages to visit. The capital of Andalusia is Seville. Another beautiful city of Andalusia is Granada. The crown jewel of Granada is undoubtedly the palace and fortress of Alhambra and is the most visited tourist attraction in Spain. It's an UNESCO World Heritage Site. The stunning hilltop palace overlooks Granada and is visible from all over the city. It is both a palace and a fortress surrounded by walls and was the residence of Moorish rulers between the 13th and 15th centuries. The Cathedral of Granada was built on the site of the former Great Mosque. The first stone of the Cathedral of Granada was placed in 1523, but it was not finished until 1704, 181 years later. During your trip to Granada, you should definitely go on a stroll in the Albaicín neighborhood. It’s located on top of a hill, right across the Alhambra. Rising up on a hill facing the Alhambra, the Albaicín neighbourhood is made up of a network of winding streets and small squares which open up suddenly to wonderful views of the famous palace fortress - with the Sierra Nevada beyond.
Granada is a city in southern Spain’s Andalusia region, in the foothills of the Sierra Nevada mountains. It sits at an average elevation of 738 m. There are a number of miradores, or lookout points, dotted on the hills throughout Albaycin. The most popular of these is the Mirador de San Nicolas, once described by Bill Clinton as ‘the most beautiful sunset in the world’, with its panoramic views of the Alhambra and the Sierra Nevada mountains. Viewpoint from Albaycin on the church Parish of El Salvador in front of St. Bartholomew's Church and Alhambra palace.
Andalusië ligt in zuid Spanje en beslaat een gebied van 8 provincies. Andalusië de op één na grootste autonome regio in Spanje en meer dan twee keer zo groot als Nederland. Het mooie Andalusië, het land van de olijven, sinaasappels, zonnebloemen, mooie bergketens en valleien, leuke witte bergdorpen met mooie pleintjes, is een brug tussen twee continenten, Afrika en Europa, en is het punt waar de Atlantische Oceaan en de Middellandse Zee elkaar ontmoeten. Er is voor elk wat wils in Andalusië, van cultuur tot mooie terrasjes, bezienswaardigheden, lange stranden, prachtige binnenlanden met mooie stuwmeren, bergen en leuke dorpen om te bezoeken. De hoofdstad van Andalusië is Sevilla. Een andere mooie stad van Andalusië is Granada. Deze stad ligt op een hoogte van 738 m. Het kroonjuweel van Granada is ongetwijfeld het paleis en fort van Alhambra en is de meest bezochte toeristische attractie in Spanje. Het is een UNESCO-werelderfgoed. Het prachtige paleis op een heuveltop kijkt uit over Granada en is zichtbaar vanuit de hele stad. Het is zowel een paleis als een fort omgeven door muren en was de residentie van de Nasrid-sultans tussen de 13e en 15e eeuw. De kathedraal van Granada werd gebouwd op de plaats van de voormalige Grote Moskee. De eerste steen van de kathedraal van Granada werd in 1523 geplaatst, maar deze werd pas in 1704, 181 jaar later, voltooid. Tijdens je reis naar Granada moet u zeker een wandeling maken in de wijk Albaicin. Het bevindt zich op de top van een heuvel, recht tegenover het Alhambra. De wijk Albaicín bestaat uit een netwerk van kronkelende straatjes en kleine pleintjes.
