" 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.
Another small section of Idaho's Sawtooths reflected in Little Redfish Lake.
Shoulda put on a wider lens...
Barely got all this beauty in.
Heading out soon for my last major photo safari of the year. Hope to fill up lots of memory cards. Easy to do in beautiful Canada.
Have a wonderful couple of weeks. I know I will.
Thanks for taking a look!
Probably one of the most beautiful mountain reflections in the Dolomites, but it is just a puddle of water that the cattle use as a drinking place.
Kirkjufell (Icelandic: Church mountain) is a 463m[1] high mountain on the north coast of Iceland's Snæfellsnes peninsula, near the town of Grundarfjörður. It is the most photographed mountain in Iceland along with the falls. There is small trail that leads down to the bottom of the falls. The view from here is really amazing, specifically during sunset.

Mt. Sinopah catches the sunrise nicely before the daily winds arrive to roil the waters of Pray Lake.
To the Blackfeet tribe the Two Medicine area was considered the "Backbone of the World" and were frequented during vision quests. They had it right as I'm always spiritually moved when here.
I posted an overview of the Two Medicine area yesterday.
A few other images of Mt. Sinopah in comments.
May your day have a little magic in it.
For today's MM textures I have selected a bag that once contained Blue Mountain coffee from Jamaica. I think I bought it locally though and the coffee did not taste as delicious as when you drink the original Blue Mountain coffee in the hills of Jamaica and listen to Bob Marley.
I added a tiny spoon which looks like it's made from bamboo and ground coffee. What you see here is just under 3"
HMM!

The Þakgil loop hike was planned to be the hiking pinnacle of my trip to Iceland. Alas, I was too early in the year and the weather so far had been colder than usual. Thus, the trail was still deep in snow in the heights and the markers mostly weren't visible. Better safe than sorry. So I returned halfway and took more photos instead. This is a stitched panorama from one of the rare sunny moments. On top of the mountain, I even had icy rain. Hope you enjoy this view even if you won't find too many landscapes except for glaciers on my account.
A Mountain Quail makes a quiet appearance as he traveled up the embankment. I used my car with a blind at sunset. The background was pretty distant and the light was dipping low behind the hill behind me, but there was a nice glow that remained. The challenge was not clipping that spike on his head. Click for large view.
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 :)

After a long and arduous hike in through deep snow we had arrived at Seamans Hut and went about setting up our campsite and enjoying a truly stunning afternoon. There hadn’t been a breath of wind and with the temperature only just below zero we were very comfortable.
Once the sun set we fired up our small gas cookers and heated up some dinner. When you’re in the mountains and bereft of common comforts such as light and TV time seems to really slow down and the evening was still young.
There are countless reasons why I love to escape city life. Amongst the many however, there is one which never ceases to impress me – that is, the colossal night sky. Away from the city lights the magnificence of the universe becomes undeniably amazing.
With the last light of the day finally gone the show had begun, above us was one huge sky and in front of me was one beautiful alpine hut that was so coincidently positioned perfectly below a quickly emerging milky way.
The temperature was dropping fast but it felt like I had all the time in the world.

This male Mountain Bluebird with beautiful sky-blue plumage was seen in the southern Okanagan region of British Columbia, Canada. It perched on a rock that had been placed atop a fence post in the White Lake Grasslands Protected Area.
We climbed the mountains hoping to capture a beautiful sunrise by the lake. It started raining instead of dawn. It's good that I decided not to wait until the weather cleared up, it rained until the next day. This is a panorama of 9 vertical frames
Wild mountain pansies, Viola lutea, growing near the Killhope Mining Museum, near Cowshill, county Durham, England. The pansies are tolerant of high levels of lead in the soil.
Thanks for visiting. Thanks especially to those who take the time to comment or fave.
White Pocket Mountain from my very "private" trailhead during sunrise (5:36 am).
I was there alone years ago and was afraid I would get stuck in the deep sand. So I parked my SUV above the critical slope that leads down to the official trailhead and hiked across country to White Pocket for about 20 minutes. In the morning around sunrise I had this beautiful view of the mountain, glowing in the first light from above.
Danke für deinen Besuch! Thanks for visiting!

Mountain Goat (Wild) - Capra aegagrus hircus
Findhorn Valley, Scotland
The feral goats of Scotland were brought in by Neolithic-era humans for farming purposes but were likely abandoned around the late 1700s due to the Highland Clearances, the evictions of a significant number of tenants in the Scottish Highlands and Islands. These people were unable to bring their livestock with them and, instead, had to leave them to roam the Highlands. The goats from this collective of livestock were able to get a foothold in this environment however and within little time, the population of Highland goats exploded to about 3,000 to 4,000. Though they are very common to see, they are also heavily considered both a nonnative, invasive species by the Scottish government as well as a major threat to the Scottish Highlands with there being evidence of the goats contributing to grazing pressures on at least 18 different conservational sites. Hunting remains as one of the primary ways that the population is handled and though a few population management plans have been discussed, few have gotten off of the ground.
First time I entered K Country it was from the south on the Kananaskis Trail, (hwy 40). Mist Mountain was the first jaw dropper I saw as I drove north towards Canmore. As a mountain junkie I was in for dozens of jawdropping scenes like this. Can't wait to return.
Thanks for taking a peak peek!
Have a wonderful Friday and weekend!
