Just one of the friends we made whilst walking in the beautiful mountains of Haute-Savoie this summer!
Hope you're having a good one!
Alpine walking is all the rage at the moment, and these two ladies were seen powering along the promenade in Lancing in West Sussex. Not many peaks in this part of the world!

Basin Mountain, Afternoon Light and Haze. Round Valley, California. October 9, 2010. © Copyright G Dan Mitchell - all rights reserved.
Basin Mountain and the Sierra Nevada crest rise above Round Valley on a hazy afternoon. (original upload file)
There is a certain kind of afternoon light in the eastern Sierra that is hard to photograph - looking up at the range from Owens Valley into the afternoon sun the haze can be bluish and decrease detail and the light can be very bright. But it is a part of the experience of the "east side" that we all know, I think. I can't say that I've tried to photograph it very often, but I stopped just off of highway 395 in the Round Valley area on this early October afternoon when I saw the rugged foothills rising above the sagebrush towards the Buttermilks and Basin Mountain and the Sierra crest around Mount Humphreys beyond.
For me, this is one sort of classic eastern Sierra view. Imagine a very warm or even hot afternoon. You are driving through high desert sagebrush country - which often surprises people who are headed to the Sierra and are thinking about high mountains and cool temperatures. The mountains to the west rise precipitously from the floor of Owens Valley, with peaks that can be nearly 10,000 feet higher than the lowlands in some places. You see snow on the peaks and sometimes on the slopes of the mountains. You know that there are places up there where you can park a car and walk out in cool mountain air and head up a trail through meadows and forests and cross a ridge into the alpine world - but the terrain gives little hint of this from below.

Mount Kosciuszko track in the Snowy Mountains, Australia - It was such a rainy day, but that made the ambiance in the alpine so much more intimate.
No idea what this flower I'm guessing it's some kind of alpine or a wild tulip? I have very helpfully been told by Louisa that this is a Sparaxis (or a Harlequin Flower).

I was able to get some shots around Alpine as the Sunset Limited stopped for ten minutes in town. Staying close to the train, I still got some awesome sights, such as this movie theatre with a great sign and facade.
Penscynor Wildlife Park was a wildlife and safari park within South Wales
In 1966, Neath builder Idris Hale bought the semi-derelict Penscynor House in Cilfrew. The 11-acre grounds then became home to a large collection of exotic parrots and a number of charity days were held in response to public demand to see the birds. The Wildlife’s main attractions were the penguin pool, the chimpanzees enclosure and the reptile house.
Many of the enclosures still existed as of 2012, including the chimp houses and penguin pool. All structures are derelict, and in poor condition.
