An endangered skink found in the alpine regions of Victoria.
Taken at the alpine tundra of Rocky Mountain National Park in Colorado, USA.
I loved the bizarre and beautiful plants that live here. From a distance, it looks barren, but looking closely exposes a wide variety of life that are suited to this harsh environment. It's a very fragile environment though. It's infuriating to see tourists stomping around on plants that take a long time to establish and have a very short growing season.
Seen at the shore of Mattmark reservoir, Saas-Almagell, at around 2,200 m above sea level.

LA: Delphinium elatum
EN: Alpine delphinium
DE: Hoher Rittersporn
HU: Nyúlánk sarkantyúfű
This specimen is a planted flower in a show garden of endemic plants on the ÖBZ ground, in Munich.
The alpine delphinium is endemic to Southern and Central Europe and parts of Asia. Often in the mountains, at subalpine, alpine heights.
There are lots of cultivated versions of it. It is cultivated since the 16th century in the gardens of Europe.
I hope one day I will present a wild specimen.

breathtaking summer landscape near Mezzacorona, Trentino-Alto Adige. Lush green shores framed by vibrant wildflowers look out over crystalline waters under a bright, cloud-dusted alpine sky. Captured on Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra.

High in the Canadian Rockies tranquility can be found. I found an alpine lake in which the majestic peaks of the surrounding mountains were reflection in the still surface. With the first blush of dawn and a few clouds sprinkled across the sky it was a setting of peaceful tranquility that I could capture in an image.
The Davies Alpine House at the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew. The sail-like blinds which protect the plants from strong sunlight open and close automatically. In this case they are opening as the sun sinks too low to directly strike the plants.
A view of the Snowy Range, the alpine forest at timberline, and Libby Lake. Medicine Bow Peak, the highest at 12,014 ft. (3,662 m) elevation, is in the center. Sugarloaf Mountain at 11,398 ft. (3,474 m) elevation is the closer, conical-shaped peak to the left.

The Matterhorn (German), Cervino (Italian) or Cervin (French), is a mountain in the Pennine Alps. With its 4,478 metres (14,692 ft) high summit, lying on the border between Switzerland and Italy, it is one of the highest peaks in the Alps and its 1,200 metres (3,937 ft) north face is one of the Great north faces of the Alps.
The individual pieces of the chocolate bar Toblerone are claimed by its maker Kraft to be formed in the likeness of the Matterhorn.
Zermatt (French: Praborgne) is a municipality in the district of Visp in the German-speaking section of the canton of Valais in Switzerland.
It is located at the northern base of the Matterhorn in the Pennine Alps, about 10 km from the border with Italy.
Zermatt has a permanent population of around 5,500 people, although the actual population varies considerably through the seasons as tourists come and go. The village is situated at the end of Mattertal, a north-facing valley, at an altitude of 1,620m (5,315ft). The valley is a dead end; although the border with Italy is close, it cannot be crossed by road, as it traverses a glacier at an altitude of over 3,000m. Zermatt is the starting point of the Patrouille des Glaciers and the Haute Route.

The Alps (French: Alpes; German: Alpen; Italian: Alpi; Romansh: Alps; Slovene: Alpe) is the name for one of the great mountain range systems of Europe, stretching from Austria and Slovenia in the east, through Italy, Switzerland, Liechtenstein and Germany to France in the west. The word "Alps" was taken via French from Latin Alpes (meaning "the Alps"), which may be influenced by the Latin words albus (white) or altus (high) or more likely a Latin rendering of a Celtic or Ligurian original.
The highest mountain in the Alps is Mont Blanc, at 4,808 metres (15,774 ft), on the Italian-French border. All the main peaks of the Alps can be found in the list of mountains of the Alps and list of Alpine peaks by prominence.
The Alps are generally divided into the Western Alps and the Eastern Alps. The division is along the line between Lake Constance and Lake Como, following the Rhine. The Western Alps are higher, but their central chain is shorter and curved; they are located in Italy, France and Switzerland. The Eastern Alps (main ridge system elongated and broad) belong to Austria, Germany, Italy, Liechtenstein, Slovenia and Switzerland.
The Alps are a classic example of what happens when a temperate area at lower altitude gives way to higher elevation terrain. Elevations around the world which have cold climates similar to those found in polar areas have been called alpine. A rise from sea level into the upper regions of the atmosphere causes the temperature to decrease. The effect of mountain chains on prevailing winds is to carry warm air belonging to the lower region into an upper zone, where it expands in volume at the cost of a proportionate loss of heat, often accompanied by the precipitation of moisture in the form of snow or rain.
