Etna to obecnie najwyższy i największy w Europie stożek wulkaniczny (145 km obwodu u podnóża). Wysokość 3340 m n.p.m. (wskutek wybuchów ulega zmianom).
Zbudowany jest głównie z bazaltów. Z krateru na szczycie wydobywają się pary i gazy, w czasie erupcji – bomby wulkaniczne i popioły. Dolne stoki są gęsto zaludnione. Pola uprawne, sady i winnice sięgają ok. 800–900 m n.p.m. Górna granica lasu na wysokości 2200 m n.p.m. W górnym piętrze przez większą część roku zalega śnieg. Od V wieku zanotowano 80 dużych wybuchów, z których najsilniejszy był w 1669 roku. Została wtedy zniszczona Katania. Ostatnia erupcja wulkanu nastąpiła 4 marca 2012 roku.

At sunrise, for just a handful of minutes, the sun shines on the top of the mountaing creating a beautiful coloured top.
Serra da Estrela (Star Mountain) is Portugal’s mainland highest mountain. At 1,993 metres at its highest point in Torre, Serra da Estrela is an area of rare landscape beauty. You can take advantage of the moments of communion with nature to discover the diversity of plants and birds and the flocks of sheep herded by Estrela dogs from the breed named after the mountain.
In cold weather, Serra da Estrela is the only place in Portugal where you can try ski, or go sledging, snowboarding or ride a snowmobile. Albeit small, there are several runs with support infrastructure, as well as artificial snow runs for skiing at any time of the year.
This natural park is excellent for trekking, horse-riding or mountain biking. It boasts some 375km of marked trails of varying degrees of difficulty.

I went up Millcreek Canyon this evening with pro365ject and we had a great opportunity to shoot some moving water with this steady stream. Getting to these spots wasn't the easiest but it sure was worth it. I've got a lot to learn and we plan to go back and I'm sure there will be a lot of room for improvement on my part once I study these shots some more.
The water was surprisingly COLD being peak of summer and all. But I guess there still must be snow melting somewhere up there or else we wouldn't have all this water flowing.
You can see all the settings at the bottom right of how I took the shot. There is a surprisingly amount of light for the time of picture we shot this. It was after sunset just around dusk. The post production consists of enhanced hue and thats about it other than the borders.

The highest mountain in Perthshire, Schiehallion. This mystical p[eak in the distance's name translates from Gaelic as "The Fairy Hill of The North." Legend has it that there are caves in the mountain that lead to the underworld. Folk legends have countless stories of intrepid travellers who went seeking the caves and were never to be seen again. I may go in search myself hoping not to come back to this crappy Corona world.
Mount Elbrus is the highest (5,642 m) and most prominent peak in Europe. It is situated in the western part of the Caucasus and is the highest peak of the Caucasus Mountains

Macro Mondays : The Space In between.
The bell of a snowdrop between the outer leaves.
Taken on a recent visit to Kingston Lacy national trust in Dorset.
I did manage to get close despite the windy conditions as these plants are small and wanted to concentrate on the bell of the flower hence the f3.5 setting used as the focal point as this was filling in the space between the outer leaves. It was a relatively strong windy day so ended up taking several hundred just to get a few dozen that were in focus.

"Antes que el sueño (o el terror) tejiera
mitologías y cosmogonías,
antes que el tiempo se acuñara en días,
el mar, el siempre mar, ya estaba y era
¿Quién es el mar? ¿Quién es aquel violento
y antiguo ser que roe los pilares
de la tierra y es uno y muchos mares
y abismo y resplandor y azar y viento?
Quien lo mira lo ve por vez primera,
siempre. Con el asombro que las cosas
elementales dejan, las hermosas
tardes, la luna, el fuego de una hoguera.
¿Quién es el mar, quién soy? Lo sabré el día
ulterior que sucede a la agonía."
Jorge Luis Borges
(English translation from rationalleycat.blogspot.com/2010/03/el-mar-traducido-por-...)
Before the dream (or the terror) could weave
Mythologies and cosmogonies,
Before the time could mint itself into days,
The sea, the always sea, it had been and it was.
Who is the sea? Who is that violent
Antique being that gnaws at the pillars
Of the earth and is one and many of the seas
And abyss and splendor and chance and wind?
Who looks on it sees it for the first time.
Always. With that wonder which all things
Elementary leave behind, the beauty
In evenings, the moon, flame of the bonfire.
Who is the sea, who am I? I will know it
In the days to come that follow the agony.
Jorge Francisco Isidoro Luis Borges Acevedo (24 August 1899 – 14 June 1986) was an Argentine short-story writer, essayist, poet and translator, and a key figure in Spanish-language and universal literature. His best-known books, Ficciones (Fictions) and El Aleph (The Aleph), published in the 1940s, are compilations of short stories interconnected by common themes, including dreams, labyrinths, philosophers, libraries, mirrors, fictional writers, and mythology.[3] Borges' works have contributed to philosophical literature and the fantasy genre, and have been considered by some critics to mark the beginning of the magic realist movement in 20th century Latin American literature.[4] His late poems converse with such cultural figures as Spinoza, Camões, and Virgil.

This shows perfectly how the Blusher got its name, the pressure from having to force through the thick moss floor has scraped away the velar covering to reveal the "blush" on the exposed flesh.

Southward view from the highest point of Shiga - Kusatsu Hihgland Route at an altitude of 2,172 m. This is a reedit with Lightroom of a previously uploaded photo.
Behind the crater of Shiranesan are moto-shiranesan (original Shiranesan) and Asamayama. Jagged peaks to the right of Asamayama is Yatsugatake. Tip of Mt Fuji is seen to the left of Asamayama. They are all volcanoes.
The shooting site is called Shibu-touge pass (渋峠) which is a dividing ridge between the Pacific and Japan Sea slopes and a border between Gunma and Nagano prefectures.
It is on the slope of Yokoteyama (横手山) with an elevation of 2,307 m. It is another volcano.

Mt Rae looms large ahead as one climbs toward the highest paved pass in Canada.
Highwood Pass summit is 7239 feet (2206 m). The pass is closed each year from December to June 15 to protect wildlife.
This impressive scenic highway (40) is also known as the Bighorn Highway and the Kananaskis Trail.
Creeping up the bark of a tree in search of food, the Treecreeper’s cryptic brown, white and yellow-gold plumage gives it the perfect camouflage.
Treecreepers need mature trees in which to search the bark's nooks, crannies and fissures for invertebrate food. They begin searching for food low down on a tree, working their way up before fluttering back down to the lower part of a nearby tree and completing the exercise over again.
Treecreepers are resident in Britain & Ireland and as a small bird, can suffer during harsh winters, resulting in population fluctuations. They are found throughout Britain & Ireland, except for the highest peaks and some of the more remote Scottish islands.
The Panorama Trail through the Brandnertal brought us closer to the highest peak of the valley, the Schesaplana (2965m). This is the view from Austria - the mountain is situated on the border with Switzerland. It had snowed heavily during winter, so there is more snow on the mountain than in most pictures that are found online.
In the foreground (and out of focus) there are Globeflowers. They can grow up to 60cm high.
