The Fishtail Mountain (Mount Machhapuchchhre, 6993m) in the extreme right, as seen from Manakamana, Nepal.
The deviant mystery of the mountains attracts me a lot, who wants to be my companion on the way to this bliss of solitude? :)

Machapuchare (Fishtail) in the Annapurna Range is off-limits to climbers and has never been summited. At 6,993 m (22,943 ft), it is not the tallest mountain in the range, but it is surely the most spectacular. As we hike into the Annapurna Valley, the split 'fishtail' of the peak becomes visible.
Machhapuchhare (6993m), also known as Fishtail, is quite well known in the Annapurna range in Nepal. When the setting sun casts its golden light onto its face, it is really a beautiful sight!
A fiery sunset at Machhapuchare Base Camp (3700m), looking back down the valley we walked up to reach this point.
If you look carefully you can see a couple of buildings, including a lodge, dwarfed by the surrounding peaks.

As near as I can determine the mountains in the background L to R may be Burnt Mountain, Bare Mountain, Butcher Mountain and Crow Mountain as these are the 4 main mountains able to be viewed south from the Fishtail, Montana area.
Any correction welcomed.
The shot was taken somewhere along Grove Creek Road on the way to the Tippet Rise Art Centre in the Stillwater River Valley near Fishtail, Montana, USA. I was unable to accurately geolocate it on Flickr Maps.
This shot was taken in 2018 on a trip through western USA.
The next set of shots I'll post will focus on the Beartooth and Chief Joseph Byway, two of the USA's most scenic and high altitude highways. Both highways are notable for their preponderance of hairpin bends, or as they are called in the USA, switchbacks.
I've been away from posting to Flickr for a month while travelling in South Australia and then through the Southern Highlands and Central Western NSW during Easter but as from 14th April 2021 I'm back on deck.

Despite not beeing the highest mountain of the Annapurna Massif, Machapuchare, 6,993 m (22,943 ft), is the most impressive and beautifull because of its sharpness and perfect piramidal shape. It is revered by the local population as particularly sacred to the god Shiva, and hence is off limits to climbing.
Machapuchare means "fishtail" because of its dual peaks ending.Annapurna is famous for having been the first 8000m summit to be climbed by human (Maurice Herzog and Louis Lachenal, in heroic and crazy conditions). Today this area attracts the most trekkers since the lanscape is the most impressive of Nepal. This comes from the fact that the difference of heigh beetween the different summits and the ground basis very high. Based on that criteria, the valley betwwen Annapurna and Dhaulagiri is the deepest in the world. The main ethnic group who live today in this area are the Gurung.
The Fishtail Mountain is so beautiful words fail me when I saw it nearly every morning from the various guesthouses I stayed in during my trek of the Annapurna region. Sometimes.I felt I could almost touch it!!!

Mt. Fishtail (Mt. Machhapuchchhre in Nepali with 6,993 meters elevation) as seen from Machhapuchchhre Base Camp (3,720 meters elevation), Annapurna Conservation Area, Nepal at the time of sunset.
I've just spent the last 2 and a half weeks trekking around Nepal. It was my first time in this incredible country, and ended up being a life changing experience. The people, mountains, landscapes, atmosphere all touched my heart, and i'll never forget this trip.
This is Machapuchare, commonly known as Fishtail due to it's distinctive twisted summit, as viewed from Tadapani as the sun set, casting a lovely warm glow over the mountain and valley. The clouds rolled in quickly and this view was gone 5 minutes later. A stunning place to watch the world go by.
Fishtail Lagoon, near Lymington, Hampshire. In the Uk these birds are called Grey Phalarope as we only see them in winter plumage, but elsewhere they are called Red Phalaropes for their bright summer plumage.

There were only a few Brent Geese standing around in the shallows on Fishtail Lagoon as I started my long walk to Lymington, but on the way back there must have been well over a thousand of them; most of which were participating in a mass communal bathing session. Here's a couple of shots from the morning, and three of them splashing around in the afternoon.
