Starting on the slopes as we start the final climb to the summit of Cairn Gorm we look back across the Cairngorm plateau. The coire's (cliffs) we have been following on the right, slope down left, with the UK 2nd highest summit of Ben MacDui in the distance, while above the blue waters of Loch Etchachan is Derry Cairngorm. On the far left, the rocky tors of Beinn Mheadhoin stand out against the blue sky.
Cairn Gorm, the mountain from which the Cairngorm mountain range gets its name, stands at 1245 meters (4085 feet) and is my 4th Munro of the season, my 27th in total. The hike (no bike this time) sees me covering a circuit of just over 7 miles and making an elevation gain of around 762 meters (2500 feet).
I went over to Akaroa for my Covid lock down. I was already packed up to go over when our level changed from level 2 straight to level 4. I spent the five weeks there without any other contact with the outside world apart from phone calls. It was a bit lonely on my own but I had the birds bees to keep me company.

A rather straightforward image of the beautiful castle De Haar near Utrecht. I used 3 exposures for the dramatic touch: 2,5 sec for the smooth water; 1,3 sec for the castle and 0,3 sec for a dramatic sky. Blending them together in Photoshop. Job done.
Enjoy!

The snow has ceased and the sun is working it's life giving miracles...
I give thanks every morning to wake up to such incredible beauty.
The only tracks in the snow this morning were mine and a couple of mule deer trying to stay warm.
10 minutes by car from home I reach the fields of Anif, one of my favorite photo spots! Thank you so much for visiting my page!
This was another photo with dull colour but interesting clouds, so used mono on this one and was pleased with the result.
By Loch Cluannie, Glen Sheil. One of those moments when your driving and have to pull over safely into the nearest layby and capture the spectacle happening before you.
