The Scenic Isle of Pyramid Lake
Pyramid Island is a small, iconic island located in Pyramid Lake, within Jasper National Park (Canadian Rockies, Alberta). It is renowned for its unparalleled view of Pyramid Mountain, the distinctive peak that dominates the Jasper skyline.
Picture-Perfect Views: The island is a quintessential photo spot, particularly for capturing the reflection of the mountain on the lake's tranquil waters.
Easy Access: It is connected to the shore via a picturesque wooden footbridge, making it easily accessible to visitors of all ages.
Heritage and Uses: The island features a rustic shelter built in 1933, ideal for picnics. The location is also very popular for weddings and for viewing the Northern Lights due to the park's "Dark Sky Preserve" status.
This monochrome image is another long exposure view from the beach at Sango Sands, Durness. The white halo around the pyramid is sea spray. It was breezy when we arrived, and as the afternoon tide ebbed, the wind and sea increased in intensity. Just spectacular.
Sango Sands Beach is a small sandy cove with scattered rocky outcrops that is a photographer's paradise as the tide recedes, exposing more and more rocks further down the beach. This image gives a pleasing effect with the wash of the waves up and down this part of the beach.
Durness (Scottish Gaelic: Diùranais) is a village and civil parish in the north-west Highlands of Scotland. It lies on the north coast of the country in the traditional county of Sutherland around 190 km north of Inverness. The area is remote and the parish is huge and sparsely populated covering an area from east of Loch Eriboll to Cape Wrath, the most north-westerly point of the Scottish mainland.
Hard to believe, but I just wasn't in a fency mood today. I can't remember the last time that happened. So it's another landscape, sizzling fresh off the grill.
Pairs nicely with our house red. Go easy on the salt. The band is really in top form tonight, would you not agree?
Bon Appétit!

It took 20 years with 150.000 people to build a pyramid. Each stone is about 5 tons.
They placed about 250 stones a day, that's every 2 minutes a stone.
Totaly 2,5 million.
Height: 160m
The geology of Utah's landscapes is so varied and complex. It's such a visual treat to a landscape photographer. I took this shot during one of our December Workshops to showcase the jagged faultline and diverse layers. During our workshops we try to provide the best instruction and photography education. But one thing you can always count on is getting to unique and or less visited locations!
Grand Louvre Pyramids
The Louvre Pyramid is constructed from large glass and metal and the pyramid was designed by the Chinese-American architect I. M. Pei. The large pyramid is surrounded by three smaller pyramids, in the main courtyard of the Louvre Palace, Paris. The main entrance to the Louvre Museum is in the large pyramid. Since its completion in 1989 it has become a landmark of the city of Paris.
The structure has a height of 21.6 metres (71 ft) and it’s square base has sides of 34 metres (112 ft) with a base surface area of 1,000 square metres (11,000 sq ft).

In the same year the Louvre Pyramid opened, architect I. M. Pei used large glass pyramids in the design of the roofs of the IBM Somers Office Complex in Westchester County, New York. He also returned to the glass pyramid concept again at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in Cleveland, Ohio, which was opened in 1995.

That's an unknown peak in the Lahaul-Spiti himalayas. This particular view resembled to me like the pyramid photos I have seen over the web. Do you get similar vibes out of this?
Mountains are formed by the upward thrust of tectonic plates, and that is why the highest mountains in the world are all relatively new. If there was no movement of the earth's crust the surface would be flat, as water and weather eroded it over time.
Old mountains like Ben Lomond are constantly breaking down. A great deal of this occurred at the end of the last Ice Age as the glacier on top of the mountain melted away and dragged rocks over the side with it.
Here we see a pyramidal pile of rocks - all formed naturally as they rolled down the mountainside and came to rest in this spot. I have used sepia here to convey something of age.
This weeks theme is "Found in the kitchen".
Can anyone identify this item/pyramids as something found in the kitchen?

For 120 pictures in 2020 #89 "Pyramid", this is a small glass decoration/paperweight/dust collector. The glass is actually clear, and refracts and reflects the colors around it, in this case a small glass dish.
I guess a lot of you will recognize the pyramids at The Louvre in Paris, France. This was taken on the first evening of my trip.
