On a well-positioned picnic table on Jasper's Pyramid Lake with Pyramid peak nicely catching the morning light. The fog was much thicker when I arrived, enjoyed watching it slowly dissipate and move to the right. A winter daydream.....
Enjoy a wonderful Sunday evening and week ahead.
A moody, broody morning waiting for sunrise's bloom on this iconic peak. The sun was shrouded in thick clouds as well behind me but we were able to capture a nice reflection of it in Pyramid Lake.
Dear friend Carlos waiting as well on the point to the right. Was a wonderful start to a special day with Jocy, Panta and Carlos. Hope our paths cross again.
Enjoy a fabulous Friday and weekend!
The Louvre Pyramid in the main courtyard (Cour Napoléon) of the Louvre Palace in Paris.

These Modern Pyramids look different from the Egyptian pyramids; you can't see any bricks or stones.

Pyramid Lake is a reservoir formed by Pyramid Dam on Piru Creek in the eastern San Emigdio Mountains, near Castaic, Southern California. It is a part of the West Branch California Aqueduct, which is a part of the California State Water Project. Its water is fed by the system after being pumped up from the San Joaquin Valley and through the Tehachapi Mountains.
In 1843, gold was discovered near what is now Pyramid Lake, in the Santa Feliciana Canyon, just south of what is now Pyramid Dam. The small find failed to trigger a rush to the mountainous countryside. Only Francisco Lopes, owner of Rancho Temescal, a Mexican land grant, and a handful of ranchers attempted to settle the region.
This lake was created in 1972, and completed in 1973, as a holding reservoir for the California State Water Project. The lake was named after a pyramid-shaped rock carved out by engineers building U.S. Route 99. Travelers between Los Angeles and Bakersfield christened the landmark “Pyramid Rock,” which still stands just adjacent to the dam.
Pyramid Lake is the deepest lake in the California Water Project system, built up along the steep canyon walls surrounding Piru Creek.
The 180,000 acre⋅ft (220,000,000 m3) reservoir lies on the border between the Angeles National Forest and the Los Padres National Forest, in the northwestern portion of Los Angeles County. It is to the west of Interstate 5 (I-5) south of Tejon Pass. The former alignment of US 99 is below the waters here, replaced by I-5.

Just below the dam, Piru Creek returns to its natural state as it winds down through the Topatopa Mountains to feed into the Lake Piru reservoir and later the Santa Clara River. Pumps carry water from Pyramid Lake to Castaic Lake, which is the terminus of the west branch of the aqueduct. Pyramid and Castaic act as the upper and lower reservoirs for a 1,495-megawatt pumped storage hydroelectric plant.
Taken yesterday morning.
I was going to try and peak this but a few hours after I took this... Storm clouds rolled in and it started to pour rain...
It wasn't meant to be this time around... Soon(ish) Pyramid... Soon... I will have my revenge haha.
Akapana is an imposing pyramidal structure, with a perimeter of 800 meters, 7 staggered terraces, 18 meters high. At its top, according to the chronicles, there were beautiful buildings. The support walls of the first terrace were covered with cushioned stone and the following ones with ashlars of lithos edged in perfect cut; these differences as for constructive technique, make presume that the work was completed in a long time.
Another wild orchid I found on Painswick Beacon was the Pyramidal orchid. Fortunately, this one had just started to flower.
Captured this impressive monument on a recent hike near Utrecht.
The Pyramid of Austerlitz is 36 meters high and built in 1804 by Napoleon's soldiers on one the highest points of the Utrecht Ridge. It was restored between 2001 and 2014

Très prise ces derniers temps, me revoilà...
Toujours aux Pyramides du Louvre. Dernière photo de cette petite série de la femme au sac rouge et au parapluie.
Lost pyramids in a sandstorm. Another try at triangles ;-)
These are tiny wood corners from another birdhouse my husband is building according to instructions from Cornell. The blowing snow, er, sand, comes from the 11 F/-11 C with snow and wind chills even our snow gear fails. Brr... poor birds and wildlife.

Waking in the country lanes near our holiday Gite in La Jarne, the verges and waste land was full of beautiful wild flowers
