Seen from the more traditional angle across from Lake Pukaki. Mount Cook / Aoraki lies in the Southern Alps in the South Island of New Zealand. Mt Cook / Aoraki is the tallest mountain in New Zealand at a height of 3,724 m. Unfortunately the weather gods kept the sun at bay and caused a light breeze. However, I'd like to think that I still managed a respectable image. Hope you will enjoy this one!
Rather than using the traditional landscape lens I used my 85mm portrait lens which brings the distant mountains in a bit closer.
Another in my series of photos called View from the Passenger Seat. This one of the beautiful Mount Shasta was taken on a recent trip down Interstate 5 traveling from Oregon to California.
Fall colors in the North Cascades with Mount Shuksan, Table Mountain, and the Chain Lakes Loop trail in view, near Mount Baker Highway, Washington State.
The wind whips up, bringing more snow to the twin peaks of Mount Shasta and Mount Shastina in northern California. Photo scanned in to create a digital image.
Our camp at Mount Uncle Gin Distillery was shared with an ostentation of Peacocks. Each afternoon the males put on a real show.
Mount Pendelton stands 7,840 feet. This shot was taken from Polychrome Pass I was drawn to this shot because of how the light was falling across the mountain range. The angles of the mountain creating highlights and shadows giving the mountain depth.
Cloudy conditions atop Mount Buffalo, in the north-east of Victoria, Australia.

Mount Baker glacier-covered andesitic stratovolcano in the Cascade Volcanic Arc and the North Cascades of Washington in the United States. Mount Baker has the second-most thermally active crater in the Cascade Range after Mount St. Helens. About 30 miles (48 km) due east of the city of Bellingham, Whatcom County, Mount Baker is the youngest volcano in the Mount Baker volcanic field. While volcanism has persisted here for some 1.5 million years, the current volcanic cone is likely no more than 140,000 years old, and possibly no older than 80–90,000 years. Older volcanic edifices have mostly eroded away due to glaciation.
After Mount Rainier, Mount Baker has the heaviest glacier cover of the Cascade Range volcanoes; the volume of snow and ice on Mount Baker, 0.43 cu mi (1.79 km3) is greater than that of all the other Cascades volcanoes (except Rainier) combined. It is also one of the snowiest places in the world; in 1999, Mount Baker Ski Area, located 9 mi (14.5 km) to the northeast, set the world record for recorded snowfall in a single season—1,140 in (29 m; 95 ft).
Mount Baker is the third-highest mountain in Washington and the fifth-highest in the Cascade Range, if Little Tahoma Peak, a subpeak of Mount Rainier, and Shastina, a subpeak of Mount Shasta, are not counted. Located in the Mount Baker Wilderness, it is visible from much of Greater Victoria, Nanaimo, and Greater Vancouver in British Columbia, and to the south, from Seattle (and on clear days Tacoma) in Washington.

Tengger Caldera in East Java (Indonesia), seen during sunrise time from Mount Penanjakan viewpoint (2,770 m). I took this photo with an iPhone. Temperature was only around 5 degrees C.
In the foreground is Mount Batok (2,440 m). The steaming crater to the left is Mount Bromo (2,329 m). And the impressive volcano in the background is Mount Semeru (3,676 m). Morning mist covers Segara Wedi, the so-called "Sea of Sands".
Many thanks for your visits / comments / faves!
Inside the Mount Bromo crater - Gunung Bromo - an active volcano and part of the Tengger massif, located in East Java, Indonesia.
The volcano belongs to the Bromo Tengger Semeru National Park. The name of Bromo derived from Javanese pronunciation of Brahma, the Hindu creator god.
At 2,329 metres (7,641 ft) it is not the highest peak of the massif, but is one of the most visited tourist attractions in Java island.
Mount Santubong's name may have been derived from the Iban word for coffin, but various Chinese derivations have also been suggested (San approximating the word for mountain in many dialects), as well Bidayuh, in whose lands the names of many hills start with S. Investigators have made ascents of the steep mountain to find places of archaeological interest. Around its foot are signs of Hindu occupation which are hundreds of years old which have been investigated by the Sarawak Museum. It was also the home of the early Sarawak Malays until they were driven up to Kuching in about the 1850s owing to continual attacks from the powerful Saribas Dayaks.[citation needed]
The mountain is made of sandstone, although it has been confused by many with limestone tower karst, or a volcanic plug: smaller versions of both appear not far inland. For a long time it interested those in search of gold but without success. There used to be an old theory that all the gold in the First Division of Sarawak lies in a straight line between Bau and Santubong which has some support in that there is a certain amount of gold in the mountain since fishermen in the past used to depend for their livelihood during the monsoon seasons, when the sea was too rough for fishing, by panning gold in the small mountain streams from which they could expect to gain an average of twenty dollars a month.
In this picture you get to see all the "4 iconic Santubongs" of Sarawak.
1. The mountain - Mt Santubong
2. The village - Santubong by the mountain.
3. The river - Santubong River @ Sungai Santubong
4. The famous Santubong Bridge.
I'm kidding. I don't know the name of this mountain. I would have liked a little better defined clouds about the summit, but I did get a pretty good spattering of sunlight in the foreground to make up for it. :) (Idaho Road Trip Vacation 716.jpg)

The once mighty volcano Mount Crayon, erupting frequently, now seems to be extinct. Or is it only dormant, and its magma chamber holds some future surprises?
Well, this pretty much sums up this image (and also my drawing activities which have been dormant for a long time now): It's only half of what I had originally envisioned for our "Wood" theme. Because (of course) I wanted to depict an active volcano, maybe with a lava stream and some smoke. But... I ran out of time (of course) and I also wasn't sure how to make the smoke appear as if it came right out of the volcanic crater/conduit. Red wax could have served as lava but the smoke... Well, this is definitely something I will keep in mind for our Redux (or maybe Redo) theme at the end of the year, so stay tuned for Mount Crayon's mighty comeback ;)
It kind of broke my heart to break off the crayon's tip/lead but if I wanted to have something that looked like a volcano, I had no choice because none of the numerous, long unused pencils and crayons lying around in boxes around the house already had a broken lead.
I placed a gold-coated paper cake board behind the crayon and illuminated it with yellow light from the right to get the golden half of the background, and I held the small LED flashlight equipped with a small pink semi-transparent lid (of a SodaStream gas cylinder) above it to create the pink highlights (which I hoped would give the impression of some lava or heat but...). To get the entire volcanic crater sharp I did focus bracketing with 55 images that I combined in Helicon Focus (Method A, Radius 7, Smoothing 7). Processed in LR (the basics) and in Colour Efex (Detail Extractor filter applied on the crayon only).
HMM, Everyone! (I will catch up with you a little later.)
At 11,250 ft, it's Oregon's highest point. This view is from the southwest. (Mount Hood Shots DSC_8749.jpg)

Fall colors and a view of Mount Rainier as seen along the Skyline Trail, Paradise, Mount Rainier National Park, Washington State.
Mount Rainier, an active volcano currently at rest between eruptions, is the highest peak in the Cascade Range. Its edifice, capped by snow and 25 glaciers, has been built up by untold eruptions over the past 500,000 years.
Majestic Mount Rainier soars almost 3 miles (14,410 feet) above sea level and looms over the expanding suburbs of Seattle and Tacoma, Washington.
Photo taken with Nikon D810 camera. Location: Mount Kilimanjaro, Kilimanjaro National Park, Tanzania.
Mount Baker, also known as Koma Kulshan or simply Kulshan, is a 10,781 ft (3,286 m) active glacier-covered andesitic stratovolcano in the Cascade Volcanic Arc and the North Cascades of Washington in the United States.

Mount Errigal is a 751-metre (2,464 ft) mountain near Gweedore in County Donegal, Ireland. As you can see here, Errigal is well known for the pinkish glow of its quartzite in the setting sun, and was was voted Ireland's Most Iconic Mountain.
