This was taken through the train window as we were descending the mountain.

This is Thanksgiving weekend here in Canada. Wishing all our Canadian friends wherever you are a blessed and peaceful Thanksgiving.

Bringing this one forward as I'm so overwhelmed by the number of group invitations.

Thank you so much-:)))

Defereggen Valley street from Pass Staller Sattel (2052m), East Tyrol, Austria

Ahrntal-2_029

The pass is located in the Ortler Alps in Italy between Stilfs in South Tyrol and Bormio in the province of Sondrio,

height : 2.757 Meter

Der Alpen-Gasthof „ Tibet Hütte“ thront in wunderbarer Aussichtslage auf einer Höhe von 2.800 m über dem Stilfser Joch in der Ortlergruppe,

Stilfser Joch ist der zweithöchste asphaltierte Gebirgspass der Alpen.

Another one from our train journey - this time, going UP Snowdon. I've edited this in Topaz Studio so I've added a bit of texture just for the joy of it. The sun was sinking behind the mountains and cast a lovely light on the tops. See that little line at the foot of the mountains? If you look closely you'll see cars. They look so tiny ! A magical experience for us. Beautifiul Wales !!

Thanks as always for all your comments and faves... I am so sorry not to keep up - my other "fast" laptop is undergoing an update which is taking ages, so I thought I'd make use of the time on the slow laptop. :o)

Happy week, month, year, my friends ! Visit Snowdonia - you won't be disappointed (except it does rain a lot). Something I should mention.... everyone was so very friendly. It's a wonderful country.

Oh, best seen large by clicking on the image.

First snow of the season....Whoop Whoop!!!

A landscape that is a little wilder than the previous image.This photo shows the relatively level plateau between Wrynose Pass and Hardknott Pass in Cumbria. It's the most direct rouse between Langdale and Eskdale. Although it is certainly spectacular it's one of the most difficult drives I have undertaken for a long time . Wrynose Pass is steep and winding but Hardknott is a devil of a road. If you look at the image large you can see the road quite well in the background on the darker part of the landscape.

The single track road shares the title of steepest road in England with Rosedale Chimney Bank in North Yorkshire. It has a maximum gradient of 1 in 3 (about 33%). The pass is described as one of the most challenging roads in Britain. A series of hairpin bends make visibility difficult in various places. Traffic ascending the pass has priority as advised by the Highway Code. It was very difficult at times getting in the correct gear and you were hoping you would not hit a sheep or have to reverse . The view from the top is amazing you can see across the Irish sea. However next time I go to Wast Water I will take the longer but somewhat easier route on the coast road

The Bhaga river - a tributary of the Chandrabhaga or Chenab river, originates from Surya taal lake, which is situated a few of kilometers from the pass towards Manali. The other major tributary of the Chandrabhaga, the Chandra also originates from glacier in this region. The pass also acts as a water-divide between the Bhaga river and the Yunam river. (Wikipedia)

While my computer is out being fixed I have been exploring Colorado. This is from early one morning on Kebler Pass in the San Juan Mountains.

The poor campers below have just given up trying to erect their tent in the strong breeze. I couldn't help feeling they had chosen the wrong spot, as the wind was rushing up the valley and being channeled into Scandale Pass. And their tent was a very high sided affair.

The slopes of Red Screes are on the left and High Crag and Low Crag on the eastern edge of the Fairfield horseshoe on the right. The lake in the distance is Windermere.

Burlington Northern GE C30-7 No. 5554 passes a sister locomotive on another coal empty on a siding just east of Donkey Creek on May 29, 1998. Empty coal trains are frequently staged here waiting to head south on the Orin Line for loading, when the mine is ready for them. Later, BNSF even built a new yard at this location for the same purpose.

Driving pass roads is my favorite! Bernina Pass in Switzerland is one of my absolute favorites in the Alps. View into the Val di Poschiavo.

House Sparrow - Passer

* To get to Wast Water from the East, the most direct route is over Hardknott Pass. However, next time I visit Wast Water, I think I will go by the longer coastal route. It was a hard and somewhat scary drive. It’s fine if you can keep moving, but if you have to stop, it’s hard to get the car going forward. The rule of the road is that traffic gives way to cars climbing, but in reality, that does not happen. Still, you cannot say the pass does not give you excellent views.

Hardknott Pass is a hill pass between Eskdale and the Duddon Valley in the Lake District National Park, Cumbria, England. The tarmac-surfaced road, which is the most direct route from the central Lake District to West Cumbria, shares the title of steepest road in England with Rosedale Chimney Bank in North Yorkshire. It has a maximum gradient of 1 in 3 (about 33%).

The pass is described as one of the most challenging roads in Britain.A series of hairpin bends make visibility difficult in various places, and the road surface is in poor condition and slippery when wet.

Some fellow hikers on the Hidden Lake trail. Looking SE at the Logan Pass Visitor Center and a section of the Going to the Sun Road. Best get here early as parking is limited.

Two awesome trails take off from here. This trail to Bearhat Mountain and Hidden Lake and the Highline Trail which runs along the Continental Divide and the Garden Wall. These folks are looking in that direction. Good chance their looking at mountain goats which are common here.

"Logan Pass (elevation 6,646 ft (2,026 m)) is located along the Continental Divide in Glacier National Park, in the U.S. state of Montana. It is the highest point on the Going-to-the-Sun Road. The pass is named after Major William R. Logan, the first superintendent of the park." wiki

Have a terrific Tuesday!
