Thank you for your kind comments.
I am inspired by the mountains and the joy they bring to life. There is this beautiful parallel between mountains and life in general. Mountains aren’t just beautiful. They are a struggle, challenge, and sometimes disappointment as well. Life is a series of achievements, disappointments, struggle, and joy.
“Mountains seem to answer an increasing imaginative need in the West. More and more people are discovering a desire for them, and a powerful solace in them. At bottom, mountains, like all wildernesses, challenge our complacent conviction - so easy to lapse into - that the world has been made for humans by humans. Most of us exist for most of the time in worlds which are humanly arranged, themed and controlled." - Robert MacFarlane

Second shot in the series. I moved in closer to frame...mostly...the stones leading into the lake. This was first thing in the morning, thus the deep shadows. The reflection was fantastic this time of day and so a tricky shot.
The decision not to crop this down was a difficult one. I'd like to but I think I need to keep the stones in the centre of the shot, and some of the tree line to maintain context.
I haven't photographed them in a long time and getting used to it took a lot of patience.
In the end they gave me funny pictures.
Le amiche dell'estate alpina
Non le fotografavo da molto tempo e riprenderci la mano ha richiesto pazienza.
Alla fine mi sono divertito e mi hanno regalato foto carine.

Spring in the Colorado Rockies near Crested Butte. Took a short respite after returning from traveling recently, which then got extended with Covid. I've recovered and back in the saddle! Thought I'd post something from one of my favorite places.
Walchensee or Lake Walchen is one of the deepest and largest alpine lakes in Germany. The lake is 75 kilometres (47 mi) south of Munich in the middle of the Bavarian Alps.
Rhododendron Ferrugineum
Known as the pink 'Alpenrose' from Central Europe. This plant has lovely deep crimson-pink flowers in June. Useful for it's late flowering and hardiness. It will not tolerate high temperatures and needs good drainage. Height 40cm in 10 years.Dwarf Rhododendrons don't mind the sun but they hate too much heat, so do avoid reflected heat from South facing walls and patios, particularly if planting in containers
This was the last evening of our short skiing stay in South Tyrol. We had 4 days of glorious sunshine, fantastic snow, ideal conditions for sporty winter activities and relaxation. On the left you can see the Schlern massif, which ends with the Santner Peak, which was first ascended in July 1880 by Johann Santner, a Tyrolean mountaineer. In the valley below is the beautiful village of Seis/Siusi and in the back the mountain range of the Merano and Vinschgau Alps.

When I stopped admiring the source of the Rhine and looked behind me, I saw these protected Alpine beauties, the large (5 - 20cm) Alpine asters! Not just one, but a whole bunch. I had to climb higher on a steep slope, but I absolutely wanted a good shot of them.
At two thousand meters it's white, this 400 meters below.

Beautiful alpine valley, little village wwith its beautiful alpine-style houses, nice holiday memory.
Alpine, Texas Amtrak station waiting for the arrival of the Sunset Limited, on its way from Los Angeles, California to New Orleans, Louisiana. The train was running late and the station was deserted.
Grand Bornand, France, a winter resort in the French Alps (the Aravis range in the background), preparing for the season, I was expecting a deserted place, but the traffic was busy even in the off season.
I "only" got 2 error messages today while trying to post comments, sorry if my comments are brief, there's still a chance of them not going through because of flickr's problems.
