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?

Thanks to Will Atkins for showing me these beauties!
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.
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). It is build up of 603 rhombus-shaped and 70 triangular glass segments. The pyramid structure was engineered by Nicolet Chartrand Knoll Ltd. of Montreal together with Rice Francis Ritchie of Paris.
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.
Height: 21 m

The largest Egyptian pyramid. It served as the tomb of pharaoh Khufu, who ruled during the Fourth Dynasty of the Old Kingdom. Built c. 2600 BC. There are three known chambers inside of the Great Pyramid. The lowest was cut into the bedrock, upon which the pyramid was built, but remained unfinished. The so-called Queen's Chamber and King's Chamber, which contain a granite sarcophagus, are above ground, within the pyramid structure.
If you suddenly found that you travelled back to ancient Egypt and saw the pyramids, what would you say?
Here is one more photo from my numerous photo hikes I have organized this year in the British Columbia Coastal Mountains. This time the Pyramid Mountain in its natural glory is being featured. The photo was taken at early sunset under particularly strong sunrays conditions and resulted with this classic sun star peeking from behind the mountain. Enjoy!
Nettoyage et chlorage des bassins : mais interdit de se baigner !
Pour éviter la formation de la mousse, j'ai demandé au monsieur.
Le "truc" doré à l'intérieur de la pyramide c'est une oeuvre d'art (ici vue de l'arrière ) d'un artiste japonais, Kohei Nawa : "Throne". Je n'ai pas pu la voir en entier, c'était mardi dernier, jour de fermeture du Louvre. www.telerama.fr/sortir/quel-est-ce-mysterieux-throne-dor-...

Anacamptis pyramidalis.
A lovely cycle ride out into the beautiful Kent Countryside and to The Beheading of St John the Baptist Church at Doddington with its award wining wildlife managed church yard famous for the wild flower meadow and Pyramidal Orchids, stunning......
So this farmer collected all the boulders in his field and used them to construct a 30x30x17m pyramid! I took nearly 300 25 second exposures at f/4 and IOS 1250 (while light painting the pyramid), and stacked them in StarStax to create this image. See also my Milky Way photo over the pyramid:

Pyramid Rock is a gorgeous and fascinating natural attraction located just off Phillip Island. The rock’s magnificent distinct silhouette stands out against the waters of Bass Strait. It was very windy when we visited so hard to keep the camera and tripod still. Took a few go's to get it right. This panorama image is made from eight images stitched together. I was lucky that the sun, even late in the day, lit the rock for a moment.
While making this photo, I was reminded of the Kipling poem "The Betrothed," about a man whose fiancée gives him an ultimatum: he must choose between her and his beloved cigars. He spends the whole poem debating the relative merits of each, uttering the famous line: "And a woman is only a woman, but a good cigar is a Smoke." That, of course, was written in another era with different sensibilities. Today, a guy could have his Nobel Prize for Literature revoked for publishing stuff like that. (And the sexism wouldn't go over too well either...)
