Quick fluttering Spicebush butterfly taking nectar from a spiny Teasel floret.
Common... always a surprise when encountered.
The Glärnisch is a mountain massif of the Schwyz Alps, overlooking the valley of the Linth in the Swiss canton of Glarus. It consists of several summits of which the highest is 2,915 metres above sea level. The other main summits are the Bächistock (2,914 metres), followed by the Vrenelisgärtli ("Verena's Little Garden" at 2,904 metres) and the Ruchen (2,901 metres). Until 1995, the highest point of the massif was considered to be the Bächistock, as the current main summit was thought to be lower (2,909 m).

Mountains of Ergaki
The mountain range Ergaki is one of the most amazing corners of nature in the West Sayan Mountains. Exceptional in its beauty and greatness chisel-shaped granite peaks, full of rapids cold rivers, the deepest surrounded by virginal taiga and unapproachable rock walls lakes, polished by glaciers till high lustre trog valleys, magnificent waterfalls and rocky rivers of kurums - these are the things which attract tourists to this magic place of the Sayan Mountains.
Одно из красивейших и загадочных мест России.
Очень рекомендую посетить.

I found a fairly large flock of these bluebirds that had still not migrated south. They had stopped for a drink at a local lake. The lake was mostly frozen but they found little melted spots.
Happy National Bird Day!

What amazing light I saw this evening as we finished up work for the day and off I went to walk about and take in the sights. Couple of Dutch Botters sitting in the harbor caught my eye. One of those images that I can't decide between B&W or Color, happening a bit more lately.

Two prominent peaks of the Alaska range rise above the Chulitna river shortly after dawn. Makes our human frailties and problems seem quite small in comparison when standing here.
Thanks for taking a peak peek!

Preikestolen is a steep cliff which rises 604 metres above the Lysefjorden. Atop the cliff, there is an almost flat top of approximately 25 by 25 metres.
The hike to Preikestolen from the closest car park is very steep and takes 2–3 hours. The path starts at an elevation of about 270 metres above sea level, and climbs to 604 metres. Though the vertical drop is only 334 metres, the total elevation gain and loss over the course of the hike is more than one might initially expect, as the path climbs and descends various ridges.
But the hard way is fully compensated by the breathtaking views ...
This picture is an attempt to find a non-trivial view of this one of the most famous places in Norway.
Usually it shows a plateau with people, someone on the edge of the cliff, or view separately. Here I tried to combine the mystique of rock and a view of the fjord ...

Прекестулен - крутая скала на высоте 604 м над Люсе-фьордом. На вершине скалы находится плоское плато размером примерно 25 на 25 м. Поход к вершине от автостоянки крутой и занимает 2-3 часа: начало пути лежит на высоте 270 м и завершается на высоте 604 м. Хотя перепад высот только 334 м, общий объем подъемов и спусков намного более ожидаемого поначалу, т.к. дорога петляет по гребням и утесам. Но сложность пути с лихвой компенсируется захватывающими видами ...
Этот снимок - попытка найти нетривиальный ракурс этого одного из самых известных мест в Норвегии. Обычно показывают плато с людьми, кого-то на краю обрыва или вид скалы отдельно. Здесь пытался совместить загадочность скалы и вид на фьорд ...

El pasado año 2016 ha sido un largo trayecto de incertidumbres y de noticias amenazadoras para esta maravilla de la historia del ferrocarril en Francia.
A punto de desaparecer para ser sustituído por una línea de autobuses, finalmente fue salvado in extremis, supongo que por el tradicional sentido común que casi siempre han aplicado los franceses a la preservación, conservación y valoración de este medio de transporte, bello, útil y ecológico que es el ferrocarril.
Nadie sabe por cuánto tiempo podrá seguir prestando su servicio esta maravilla... Por eso, mientras podamos, disfrutémoslo.
Música recomendada: "Careless Whisper". George Michael.

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!
Image taken during a hike in the amazing Borgarfjördur Eystri in North East Iceland. The graveled road that leads into the secluded Fjord can be seen. Borgarfjördur is famous for its hiking trails, but it also is the home of the Queen of the Icelandic Elves!
Caught between the low clouds and the horizon, the sun cuts a blazing streak across the face of Half Dome in Yosemite Valley.
Als ich noch ein Kind war wanderten wir häufig, mit der Schule, zu diesem Häuschen, um einiges über die Natur, aber auch über die Geschichte unserer Heimat zu lernen.
Damals waren noch sogenannte Totenbretter an den Mauern des Häuschens befestigt, mit teilweise doch sehr skurillen Sprüchen der Verstorbenen darauf, denen sie zu ihrem letzten Gang an ihre ewige Ruhestätte dienten.
When I was a kid we wandered frequently, with the school, to this house, to learn a lot about nature, but also about the history of our homeland.
In those days were known dead boards attached to the walls of the cottage, with partial but very droll sayings of the deceased on which they served at their last transition in their eternal resting place.

There 's nothing like cool temperatures and fresh air to raise the spirits. during my forays to the Alabama Hills the temperature can get up into the 100's and when they do, this is where I seek refuge. At around 9000 ft in elevation the difference in temperature is about 15 degrees and there nothing better the a fine mist that floats away from the falls right onto your weary soul.

One year ago today at the "Prinzenkopf" tower between Bullay and Pünderich on the river Moselle.
The river here makes a long bend, coming from the right and left flows downriver.
Heute vor einem Jahr auf dem Prinzenkopfturm zwischen Bullay und Pünderich an der Mosel.
Der Fluß macht hier eine lange Kehre, kommt von rechts und fließt links moselabwärts.
Danke für deinen Besuch! Thanks for visiting!

This I wish particularly in moments like this, when I'm fortunate to watch nature peacefully awakening and getting ready for a new day.
Das wünsche ich mir ganz besonders in Momenten wie diesen, wenn ich das Glück habe beobachten zu dürfen wie friedlich die Natur aufwacht und sich für den neuen Tag rüstet.

A different perspective on one of the most famous lakes in Canada, Peyto Lake.
The outlet waters from this iconic lake form the Mistaya river, creating a beautiful chasm on it's way to the North Saskatchewan River. A few pics of the river in comments.
The last Friday of the year is here. 2016 sure whizzed bye fast.....
