Chicken Out Ridge on Borah Peak, Idaho
There is another photo of me hitting a golf shot from the summit, it was a long way.
The frankly unbelievable form of the Highpoint building in Bradford. It is jaw-droppingly awful, surrounded by abandoned businesses and litter, it's a building that even I, an avid appreciator of brutalism, and concrete structures more generally, can't defend.

From Jones the Planner's (as always) excellent summary of the city's architecture:
Highpoint, a beyond-Brutalist office block sitting atop the ridge. Owen Hatherley (approvingly I think) says it is ‘utterly freakish, the severed head of some Japanese giant robot clad in a West Riding stone aggregate, glaring out at the city through blood red windows, the strangest urban artefact in a city which does not lack for architectural interest’.
This is 252 exposures (30 seconds each) combined with Star Trax. I overlayed one frame of my wife and our dog as a silhouette and the first 30 second exposure I painted the hillside with my headlamp. I wished it was darker where we lived but this was good practice.
This was with my Canon 70D and my Canon 8-15mm f/4L Fisheye Lens. ISO 640 at F9

Laurel Hill and Chestnut Ridge are in the far distance. This overlook is located in the Forbes State Forest and very close to Mt. Davis, the highest point in Pennsylvania at 3,213 ft.
