" And I shall have some peace there, For peace comes dropping slow,
Dropping from the veil of morn, To where the cricket sings,
Where midnights all a glimmer, And noon a purple glow,
And evenings filled with linnets wings "
{William Butler Yeats}
This stream comes from a spring that cascades out from under a boulder high up on the ridge in the distance. It plays it own special music as it tumbles down the mountain where it joins many other such streams, eventually forming the great Vartry river which enters the port of Wicklow 20 miles to the south east.
The lone Mountain Ash stands and watches its passing as it has done for so many years.
A wild and a beautiful place.
P@t.
Mountain views as scenic as this are rare. I think some how the portrait orientation and framing works well in this photo by Cagatay Orhan.
From this view the depth of the image is emphasised however, some part of me wants to see another vertical photo to the right of the picture. Heck why not take one on the left of this frame too and stictch all 3 frames together, that'd be swell!
This one was remixed by attempting to cut some of the original haze in the image, tweaked some of the local adjustments and completed a colour enhancement. Its facinating that from a distance mountains have this bluish tinge to them, even though when you're standing on them you don't see this blue.
Photo to download and use as always :)
Thanks for following and for your support!
Snæfellsjökull, a 700,000 year old volcanic mountain in western Iceland was made famous by Jules Verne in the 1864 novel "Journey to the Center of the Earth" as the entrance to a passage leading to the center of the earth. When gazing upon this magnificent mountain it's hard not to stop and stare. While traveling or in life it's often easy to forget to stop and savor the moments. That's a message that my friend and amazing landscape photographer Patrick Di Fruscia (pictured here) embodies and lives by and something we would all be wise to remind ourselves to do every once in a while.
By the way, these rocks are slippery little buggers when wet and I have a scar to remind me :O
Marsh along Turnagain Arm near Placer river outlet. That's on the way from Anchorage to Seward. A beautiful road through and through!
East of the Desert View Watchtower in Grand Canyon NP sits what appears to be a lone mesa, darker than its surroundings due to vegetation. My research indicates that it's an extinct cinder cone called Cedar Mountain.
On this early April day, the low cloud cover made the mountain appear even darker and highlighted the contrast between the vegetation above the canyon rim, and the nearly barren rock walls. There is an off-road trail, and the ability to hike to the top of Cedar Mountain. It's roughly 2000' of elevation gain and a nice hike with very few other tourists taking the time to visit this location.
I think I will check it out more thoroughly on my next trip to the Grand Canyon.

The Andes run in three ridges down through Peru. This town lay in the valley after the first pass from the coast. The difference in climate and vegetation within just a few hours, passing from desert to lush green, was amazing...
I drove out to Buller Pond last night... This was the fifth day in a row I drove out there so I hope no one is sick of the place yet :P haha.
For all the time I spend out that way, this was the first time I have gone there at night. It was so still and quiet out there. It was a great way to spend the night.
Mist Mountain is just another stunning peak seen along the southern part of the Kananaskis trail (Bighorn Hwy).
Thanks Raya for identifying this slanted mountain. You do know your Kananaskis well. Much appreciated.
Thanks as well to the other suggestions. So many prominent peaks here.
Thanks for taking a look. Always appreciated!
Taken in northern Iceland near lake Myvatn, inland from Akureyri the weather just below freezing but such a beautiful landscape.
A small mountain stream leads downhill to Mount Sunday and the Rangitata River in New Zealand's Ashburton Lakes district, March 2016.
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.

A view from Pasture Yen Family. It was many years ago I drove with my family by my new car VOLVO XC-90.This is a very beautiful place and near the famous Sun Moon Lake National Scenic Area.

PS: I came here days ago and the scenery was gone. Too many huge trees block the landscape.

Mt.Chausu (2.384m)
茶臼山からの八ヶ岳
The left is Yatsugatake Mountains (2,899m),
and the right is South Alps.
The snow is only a little this winter,
so that this scenery is not good as last year.
奥に八ヶ岳、右手は南アルプスとなります。
先週の麦草峠はここと八ヶ岳の中間あたりのくぼみです。
今年は雪が少なく昨年のような景色ではありませんでしたが、
爽快な眺めは相変わらずです。
この場所は冬の間、下から冷たい風が吹き付けているので、
一気に体が冷えます。
