Inicio de la ruta que nos adentra en los Picos de Europa, desde el refugio de Aliva, en la zona cántabra del gran macizo montañoso. Sobre nosotros, la cumbre de Peña Vieja, con 2613msnm, la segunda cumbre mas elevada de Cantabria.
Coucher de soleil sur le massif de la Vanoise depuis la Toussuire dans le massif Arvan-Villards en Maurienne (Savoie).
An corrugated iron fence that angles down at the street end, meeting up with the panel added to cancel the lowered height.
The jade green lake, steep gorges and canyons left by retreating glacier are just breath-taking. The finest blend of heaven and earth !
Le cirque glaciaire est fermé par le Mont Dolent, pointu au fond. Paradis pour les skieurs l'hiver.

Nu'uanu Pali Lookout, O'ahu, Hawai'i.
This lookout presents stunning panoramic views of O'ahu's south eastern shores.
It also has a fascinating history. Here's a snippet from Wikipedia with a particularly interesting story:
"The Nuʻuanu Pali was the site of the Battle of Nuʻuanu, one of the bloodiest battles in Hawaiian history, in which Kamehameha I conquered the island of Oʻahu, bringing it under his rule. In 1795 Kamehameha I sailed from his home island of Hawaiʻi with an army of 10,000 warriors, including a handful of non-Hawaiian foreigners. After conquering the islands of Maui and Molokaʻi, he moved on to Oʻahu. The pivotal battle for the island occurred in Nuʻuanu Valley, where the defenders of Oʻahu, led by Kalanikūpule, were driven back up into the valley where they were trapped above the cliff. More than 400 of Kalanikūpule's soldiers were driven off the edge of the 1,000-foot cliff to their deaths."
