Urubamba Mountain Range (Sacred Valley of the Inca) 20221125
Urubamba is a 50 km mountain range located within the region of Cusco, in the Peruvian Andes. The Urubambas are located right next to the Urubamba Valley, also called Sacred Valley, so many of the snow capped mountains can be seen from several points of the valley.
Although the area is mostly known for the many Inca constructions and the Machu Picchu archaeological site, the Urubamba range offers a good scenario for mountaineering and trekking.
It is a bird in the honeyeater family, and endemic to Australia. It is grey, with a black head, orange-yellow beak and feet, a distinctive yellow patch behind the eye and white tips on the tail feathers. It's a vocal species with a large range of songs, calls, scoldings and alarms, and almost constant vocalisations. They are gregarious and territorial; they forage, bathe, roost, breed and defend territory communally.
The noisy miner is a large honeyeater, 24–28 centimetres (9.4–11.0 in) in length, with a wingspan of 36–45 centimetres (14–18 in), and weighing 70–80 grams (2.5–2.8 oz). Male, female and juvenile birds all have similar plumage: grey on the back, tail and breast, and otherwise white underneath, with white scalloping on the nape and hind-neck, and on the breast; off-white forehead and lores; a black band over the crown, bright orange-yellow bill, and a distinctive patch of yellow skin behind the eye; a prominent white tip to the tail; a narrow olive-yellow panel in the folded wing; and orange-yellow legs and feet. A juvenile can be distinguished by softer plumage, a brownish tinge to the black on its head and the grey on its back, and a duller, greyish-yellow skin-patch behind the eye.
The noisy miner is a gregarious species, and the birds are rarely seen singly or in twos; they forage, move and roost in colonies that can consist of several hundred birds
The noisy miner does not use a stereotyped courtship display; displays can involve 'driving', where the male jumps or flies at the female from 1–2 metres (3.3–6.6 ft) away, and if she moves away he pursues her aggressively.
The noisy miner primarily eats nectar, fruit, and insects, and occasionally it feeds on small reptiles or amphibians.

View from the Glyderau mountain range in Snowdonia, Wales.
The name Glyderau derives from the highest peaks in the range, Glyder Fawr and Glyder Fach.
While visiting Denali Park we decided to do some driving along the Denali Highway late evening to see what the surrounding area was like. A couple days it rained or was overcast, but we had at least one good evening. These mountains of the Alaska Range aren't special, except in this wonderful evening light!
Taken 6 July 2018 on the Denali Highway, Alaska.
A glimpse of the Ruahine Ranges with some winter icing on top. It's been a very wet winter with generally not much snow in our local area - I'm sure some will arrive yet though in the high country!

Last light on the Cockburn Ranges with reflections in the Pentecost River. Photo taken at the River Camp on Home Valley Station at the start of the Gibb River Road, Western Australia.
Stirling Range National Park encloses the only major mountain range with in the southern half of Western Australia. The rugged peaks, which rise to more than 1000 metres above sea level, feature stark cliff faces, sheltered gullies, magnificent views and a rich diversity of unique and colourful wildflowers. The park is one of the world’s most important areas for flora with 1500 species, many of which grow nowhere else, packed within its boundaries.
Early morning light on the Kennedy Ranges in the Gascoyne region of Western Australia. This National Park was one of the highlights of our trip west. Beautiful gorges, good bush walks and stunning scenery. All without the crowds. A must if over this way.
The amazing view of the Grand Teton Range from the Jackson Lake Lodge. The Lodge sits on a natural bluff overlooking Jackson Hole and the Teton Range. The Teton Range is a mountain range of the Rocky Mountains in North America. It extends for approximately 40 miles (64 km) in a north–south direction through the U.S. state of Wyoming. It's south of Yellowstone National Park and most of the east side of the range is within Grand Teton National Park.

It was cloudy and snowy morning at Nubra Valley. One can assess it by looking at those snow covered peaks of Karakoram Ranges

Looking north-east across Lake Sevan at twilight from the Sevanavank monastery site, with the northern end of the Shakhdags on the right, and then the true Lesser Caucasus in the distance.
Sevanavank monastery is one of Armenia's most visited tourist sites, set on a bluff on a peninsula reaching into Lake Sevan. Although the gavits are now in ruins, albeit with foundations still very visible, the two octagonal churches themselves very much survive: Holy Apostles is the smaller and older one; Mother of God is larger and somewhat more recent.
I got there at sunset, by which time the churches were shut but was rewarded by the absence of the normal crowds and some spectacular cloudscapes over Lake Sevan.
The monastery was founded in 874. More than a thousand years later, it was the first seminary to reopen in Armenia as the worst of Soviet persecution passed in the third quarter of the 20th Century. Those two facts alone are the backbone of a remarkable story.
We climbed quite a bit and eventually you could see the Wairarapa in the distance. (sorry photo's not great)

Gatehouse Range, Annesley c. 1838 Buildings including stables, a dairy and a coach house. They are in stone on chamfered plinths, with moulded eaves, and slate roofs with coped shaped gables and kneelers.
There are two storeys, and an L-shaped plan with a front of twelve bays. The windows are mainly cross windows and mullioned casements, and most of the doors have four-centred arched heads.
To the west is an arched carriage entrance, and there is a gatehouse with a moulded arch containing a clock, and an octagonal lantern with a wind vane. The viewpoint is from the graveyard of All Saints Church
Here endeth the lesson
A pair of my fellow hikers ignore the incoming storm and seek to name the many surrounding peaks that can be viewed from Mount Fremont and it's fire watch tower. From here I could see my recently visited Suntop and Kelly Butte watch towers. It was like the scene in LOTR where they perched to light signal fires across the lands.
We are looking west from the Haines Highway towards the Alsek Ranges and British Columbia's Tatshenshini-Alsek Provincial Park. The park is located in the very northwestern corner of British Columbia, bordering the American state of Alaska and the Canadian Yukon Territory. It is part of the largest international park system in the world. The forecast looked good, yet the clouds never really lifted. It was still a wonderful place to boondock and admire the wildflowers of the subalpine meadows.
The Lulworth Ranges are military firing ranges located between Wareham and Lulworth in Dorset, England. They cover an area of more than 2,830 hectares (7,000 acres), are owned by the Ministry of Defence and are part of the Armoured Fighting Vehicles Gunnery School based at Lulworth Camp. The ranges were established in 1917.
The landscape is littered with redundant tanks and other armoured vehicles that are used as target practice
