The Rędzin Bridge (Most Rędziński) on the Oder River is the longest and highest bridge in Poland. Is one of the most attractive sites in Wroclaw. It catches your eye from far away. It is the largest river crossing in Poland: - it is 1742-metres long (30 metres longer than the Solidarity Bridge over the Vistula River in Plock) and the pylon on which it is suspended is 122-metres high (8 metres higher than the viewing terrace of the Palace of Culture and Science - Pałac Kultury i Nauki).
The pylon is H-shaped. The construction employs an original solution: the two multi-lane routes are attached separately to the arms of the pylon positioned on an isle in the Oder River.
The Rędzin Bridge is part of the Wroclaw Motorway Ring Road
The chief construction engineer of the Rędzin Bridge is Jan Biliszczuk, a professor at the Wroclaw University of Technology.
Curio:There are over 130 bridges and gangways in Wroclaw
Mullaghcleevaun Mountain is the second highest mountain in Co. Wicklow and is 849m high. The name in Irish means "the summit of the cradle" and Cleevaun Loch is a wonderful small jewel of a lake on its eastern slope.
Pollaphuca reservoir with Black and Sorrel hills can be seen in the distance and on a clear day, the Hills of Wales are visible but Ive been caught in the rain up there on my last two visits and had to abandon the trip.
Tragedy occurred there in the 70s when a group of young men drowned while swimming in the lake and there is a monument on the cliff side to their memory. It can be a dangerous place.
The mountain is best accessed from the military [ R115 ] road across the shoulder of Carrigshouk, over Mullghcleevaun East Top [795m] and along the ridge to the main mountain itself. Its about 10km round trip but its difficult, or at least I found it so.
Its a great place to find pieces of white quartz which are very visible protruding from the dark brown peat. You can see it in the foreground where the lake overflows . I always take some home as its a pretty stone. Within 5 minutes of taking this pic, the cloud came down and the rain started. Visibility went down to 10m so I beat a hasty retreat back to the car which took about one hour.
Its a wild rugged beautiful place and very peaceful. Its highly unlikely that you will meet anyone up there as there not all quite as mad as me!!!!! There are some lovely big granite rocks along the way where you can sit and take in the spectacle and eat your sandwiches which will taste better than anything else you have ever eaten!! I can never figure out why! Lol!
Hope you will like my photo and fave if you do.

Just thought I'd let you know that the BBC has published an article on my photography on their "Get Creative" arts magazine website. They chose the image above as one to spotlight, I originally posted it a long time ago, so I thought I'd use this as an excuse to resurrect it again.
The Article: www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/articles/5wWbzZZ93H73HkkHhTl8Yp3...
This was my first ever attempt at macro photography.
For those of you who think the bug was dead, here's the next photo when it wandered off during the exposure:
It is the third highest mountain in Brazil, situated on the border of Espírito Santo and Minas Gerais states. It is the highest point in both states. It was historically considered the highest mountain in Brazil until 1965, when Pico da Neblina and Pico 31 de Março, next to the Venezuelan border, were explored, measured, and both found to be higher. The peak is said to have been so named after Pedro II, Emperor of Brazil, ordered a flag to be flown on top of it.
It is one of the major attractions of Caparaó National Park, accessible from the nearby town of Alto Caparaó. That town and the entrance to the park lie in Minas Gerais, but the summit of Pico da Bandeira lies in Espírito Santo.
The summit is accessible to hikers of most age groups, with only very limited fitness requirements. The track from the park entrance to the summit track [8 km (5.0 mi)] can be driven by most vehicles, and the summit track itself runs for approximately 9 km (5.6 mi), with a further 1,000 m (3,280 ft) climb.

4,5km = 2,79 miles
From 2,190 m (7,185 ft) to 2,892 m (9,488 ft)

The sequence of the highest mountains in Brazil:
#1: Pico da Neblina (2,993.80 m / 9,822 ft), Venezuela/Brazil;
#2: March 31 Peak (2,972.70 m / 9,816 ft), Venezuela/Brazil;
#3: Pico da Bandeira (2,892 m / 9,488 ft), Brazil;
#4: Pico do Calçado* (2,849 m / 9,347 ft), Brazil;
#6: Pico do Cristal (2,769.80 m / 9,084 ft), Brazil;
The difference from the third highest to the first is only 101.80 meters / 334 ft in altitude.
I climbed the third, fourth and sixth in Brazil this weekend. Only the sixth mountain is challenging.
* For reasons of topographical prominence, the IBGE considers Pico do Calçado a secondary peak of Pico da Bandeira and not a separate mountain.
The first morning sunlight strikes the upper slopes of Dhaulagiri (8,167 m), the seventh highest mountain in the world. The name Dhaulagiri means dazzling mountain in Nepali.

I wonder which Movie had a similar poster.
One of the many names for the highest peak in the Canadian Rockies: Mt. Robson. Easy to see how it got this nickname. Like Denali and other high peaks Mt. Robson generates it's own weather, covering it most of the time.
Mount Robson (12,972 feet, 3,954 m) is the most prominent mountain in North America's Rocky Mountain range.
Mount Robson is the source of the longest river in British Columbia, the Fraser River. One of the great rivers on the continent.
This was by far the best shot I got of a mountain goat on my Alaska trip...:-))

The Cathedral of the Reception of the Virgin Mary is (according to its capacity) the largest, but not the highest church in Austria]. According to a widespread but unaccounted for legend, the originally planned height was not granted because in Austria-Hungary no building was allowed to be higher than the southern tower of St. Stephen's Cathedral in Vienna. At 134.8 m (remeasured in 2018: 134.69 m from the top edge of the terrain, or 133.53 m from the top edge of the floor), the tower of the Cathedral of the Assumption of the Virgin Mary in Linz is about two meters lower than that of St. Stephen's Cathedral. The outer structure is 130 m long, the main ridge height is 44 m on the outside, the width of the nave is 27.5 m, the central nave 13.5 m and the transept 60 m. The floor area is 5,170 m², the sum of the covered roof areas 7,120 m². Sandstone from Altlengbach in Lower Austria, granite from Upper Austria for columns and cornices and conglomerate from Kremsmünster for the crypt are used. Altogether the cathedral (with the crypt) has 142 windows, 54 columns and 17 altars.
Remarkable are the stained glass windows. The most famous is probably the so-called Linz Window, which shows representations from the history of Linz. The windows also show the pictures of various sponsors of the church building. The key to the new cathedral was created by steel cutter Michael Blümelhuber.
--------------------------------------------
Der Mariä-Empfängnis-Dom ist die (nach Fassungsvermögen) größte, nicht aber höchste Kirche Österreichs.] Die ursprünglich geplante Höhe wurde laut einer verbreiteten, doch unbelegten Legende deshalb nicht bewilligt, da in Österreich-Ungarn kein Gebäude höher sein durfte als der Südturm des Stephansdoms in Wien. Mit 134,8 m (Neuvermessung 2018: 134,69 m ab der Gelände-Oberkante, beziehungsweise 133,53 m ab der Fußboden-Oberkante) ist der Turm des Mariä-Empfängnis-Domes in Linz um rund zwei Meter niedriger als der des Stephansdomes. Der Außenbau ist 130 m lang, die Hauptfirsthöhe beträgt außen 44 Meter, die Breite des Langschiffs 27,5 m, die des Mittelschiffs 13,5 m und die des Querschiffs 60 m. Die Grundfläche beträgt 5.170 m², die Summe der gedeckten Dachflächen 7.120 m². Verbaut sind Sandstein aus Altlengbach in Niederösterreich, Granit aus Oberösterreich für Säulen und Gesimse und Konglomerat aus Kremsmünster für die Krypta. Insgesamt besitzt der Dom (mit der Krypta) 142 Fenster, 54 Säulen und 17 Altäre.
Bemerkenswert sind die Gemäldefenster. Das bekannteste ist wohl das sogenannte Linzer Fenster, das Darstellungen aus der Linzer Geschichte zeigt. In den Fenstern sind auch die Abbilder verschiedener Sponsoren des Kirchenbaues abgebildet. Den Schlüssel zum neuen Dom schuf der Stahlschneider Michael Blümelhuber.

Dewdrops form on slackened lips
too far gone for true love's first kiss
shadowed angels in the park
your silhouette clear on the morning grass
I lay a rose across your chest
the symbol of eternal rest
I hope you find the peace in death
you never could in life's sweet breath

The highest mountain in the old county of Argyll, Bidean nam Bian is the whole majestic range of mountains on the south side of Glen Coe. It's dramatic northern ridges are known as the Three Sisters, whilst the highest summits of the group are hidden away behind.
TERRAIN
Steep, rocky and complex terrain. There are well-worn paths for much of the route (indistinct for route up Stob Coire nan Lochan) but the terrain is very rocky and there are sections of steep scree and very mild scrambling. The descent from Bealach Dearg is initially very steep and loose. It usually holds snow until well into summer, making it even more difficult - be prepared for this or save this route for when the snow is gone

A happy couple at the summit of the rock at Haytor. They were brave to stand upright as it there was quite a blustery wind up there, however they didn't stay long, just enough to enjoy the panoramic views of Dartmoor before descending back to terra firma.
The highest elevation of the Silesian Lowlands is sometimes referred to as the “Silesian Mount Olympus”.
Its beauty and mysteriousness attract considerable numbers of tourists.
The massif reaches a height of 718 m above sea level, and in pagan times it was certainly worshipped,
which can be proved by various artefacts discovered there and examined by archaeologists.
Originally, at the site of the present church there a chapel built in the 16th century on the ruins of a castle. In the years 1698-1702,
founded by Abbot Jan Sievert, a brick one-nave chapel with open arcaded porches on both sides was erected. In 1822,
a viewing gallery was added to it. In June of 1834, it was destroyed in fire.
Reconstruction was made in 1851 a few years later.
During the 1960s, the church was fully renovated and rededicated.

I shot this last November in Destin, FL as the sun set over the ocean. I stumbled across it in my archives as I was searching for something to post.
Greenberfield Locks are not just known for being near the border of Yorkshire and Lancashire but also marks the highest point on the Leeds & Liverpool Canal
The highest section of the canal is the 6 miles between Greenberfield and Barrowford at a height of 487 ft. (149 m) From here the water in the canal flows in both directions

The North Face of Annapurna I (8,091 m), the 10th highest mountain in the world. First climbed by a French expedition lead by Maurice Herzog and Louis Lachenal, who summited on the 3rd of June 1950 just before the monsoon storms arrived.
I took this shot just after sunrise, leaving a village called Ledar alone and hiking towards Chulu West to around 5,000 m altitude in order to see over the valleys seperating me from the Annapurna Massif. It was my first view of Annapurna I of this trip and it felt incredible to finally see the mountain about which I had read so much. Although I was so high and surrounded by ice, the sun was incredibly hot, the silence punctuated only by the cracking and groaning sounds of the seracs of Chulu West (6,419 m) so close behind me.
