A lovely medieval town situated on the side of a mountain in the Alpi Apuane in the northwest section of the Tuscany region of Italy.
This photograph is of Elbow Lake, in Alberta, Canada's Kananaskis Country. K-Country, as it is called, is a vast wilderness and recreational area west of Calgary. It features numerous hiking paths to countless alpine lakes.
Cyclamen purpurascens (Alpine, European or purple cyclamen) is a species of flowering plant in the genus Cyclamen of the family Primulaceae, native to central Europe, northern Italy, and Slovenia.
Nur eine Art der Zyklamen, das Europäische Alpenveilchen (Cyclamen purpurascens) ist in den Alpen, nach denen die Gattung im Deutschen benannt ist, weit verbreitet.
Situated at a height of 1.000 m, directly on the crystal clear lake Eibsee, it is in the middle of the fantastic alpine panorama surrounding Germany’s highest mountain, the Zugspitze, 68 km from Innsbruck and 97 km from Munich International Airport.
Der Eibsee ist ein See 9 km südlichwestlich von Garmisch-Partenkirchen unterhalb (3,5 km nördlich) der Zugspitze im Wettersteingebirge in Bayern. Er gehört zur Gemeinde Grainau und ist im Privatbesitz des Eibsee-Hotels am Ostufer im gleichnamigen Weiler der Gemeinde.

Above treeline in the Rockies the growing season starts late, particularly where the snow piles up during the winter. Just below Missouri Pass (12,000’/ 3600 m) where the snow can be deep at the end of winter, the peak flowering season occurs in mid-August, a few weeks later than lower and higher elevations. This beautiful meadow has some wonderful floral diversity, including 2 species of paintbrush (red is split-leaf paintbrush, Castilleja rhexifolia; yellow is western yellow paintbrush, C. occidentalis), little elephant head (purple flowers on left, Pedicularis groenlandica), fleabane daisies (purple flowers toward the middle, Erigeron sp), American bistort (Bistorta bistortoides), and at least a couple of species of yellow daisies (aka DYCs).

Between Lake City and Engineer Pass, the Alpine Loop follows Henson Creek upstream. This view shows Henson Creek and Engineer Mountain, 13,218 feet. The Alpine Loop climbs steeply to Engineer Pass, 12,800 feet, on the northeastern shoulder of Engineer Mountain.
Oddly enough, the San Juan Mountains have TWO big mountains named "Engineer Mountain". The other is 27 miles to the southwest, near Coal Bank Pass, north of Durango, Colorado.

A photo from last year which I resurrected to accompany a paper I have coming out this year on long-lasting effects of air pollution in this environment. The photo mostly shows off the vegetation of the alpine, a mix of sedges and forbs, at its peak green here. Fall colors have already advanced by this posting time (mid August)- the growing season is very short at 12,000' / 3700 m. Summer monsoon clouds have built up with the threat of a late afternoon thunderstorm. The peaks are (r - l) Mount Audubon, Paiute Peak, and Pawnee Peak, as viewed from Niwot Ridge.
Yellow flowers seen in Dolomites. At background is visible the mountain Averau :)
Averau (2,649m) is the highest mountain of the Nuvolau Group in the Dolomites, located in the Province of Belluno, northern Italy, between the Falzarego Pass and the Giau Pass. The mountain is usually climbed from its northern face, which is less steep than its other faces, by the Averau ferrata. The view from the summit takes in many of the Dolomitic giants, including Monte Civetta, Monte Pelmo, Antelao and Sorapiss.

Małe żółte kwiatuszki rosnące w dolomitach. Góra widoczna w tle to Averau :)
Averau (2649 m n.p.m.) to najwyższy szczyt w grupie Nuvolau w Dolomitach, znajdujący się w prowincji Belluno, w północnych Włoszech, między przełęczą Falzarego a przełęczą Giau. Na górę zazwyczaj wchodzi się od jej północnej ściany, która jest mniej stroma niż pozostałe, szlakiem przez ferratę Averau. Widok z wierzchołka obejmuje wiele najwyższych szczytow w Dolomitach, w tym Monte Civetta, Monte Pelmo, Antelao i Sorapiss.
