This is a view from the Douro River in Portugal. Not far from Porto. The terrain is steep and rugged. It was a calm day so I was able to get nice reflections in the water of the bridge.
Trail 3 in Turkey Run State Park was the highlight of the day, and by chance, was the trail I hiked first. Good thing too, because I was there early in the morning and their were no crowds. It was perhaps one of the more interesting hikes I've done in Indiana. There were a few people hiking near me, but when they met up with this portion of the trail, they turned back, much to my delight! :)

Snowdon Mountain in Wales is rugged and magnificent. I love the views throughout Wales but I'm really drawn to the rugged mountain terrain of Snowdon. Better yet, take the train up the mountain and be amazed. (Edited in Lightroom, Photoshop and Topaz)

I know it has been ... a minute (LOL) since my last upload but I have been fairly active photographically as I just came back from a short trip. Some friends decided to take advantage of the extra long Thanksgiving weekend and make a short trip to Ireland. I didnt need to be convinced, Ireland was already in my bucketlist. And while I have been to Dublin 11 years ago, this time I wanted to explore the Irish country too and some of its amazing sceneries. Like this one, Cliffs of Moher. The sea cliffs run for about 14 km and their maximum height is 214 meters. The view is amazing and difficult to capture in a photo. It's also quite windy there, and that's why I was unable to get a decent long exposure shot. Eventhough The Cliffs of Moher are Ireland's most popular routist destination, and some folks are not fans of the "beaten path", I personally would totally recommend a stop there if you find yourself exploring the Irish countryland.

After the not so spectacular sunset at the Seceda (maybe I have one image which I do like which I might upload later), we went down to our cabin to sleep a few hours before hiking up again for sunrise. Waking up at 4 a.m. we started our steep hike to the top through thick mist and I started to think that the sunrise also won’t be great. As it turned out, I was completely wrong since the mist started to disappear very quickly right before reached the top. Even though I was out of breath, I started to run the last bit to the top to catch some of the last mist, but there wasn’t much left when I arrived. The sun was also still behind the mountains in the distance and so I took a few images and waited for the sun to peek above the mountains. Although the dense fog had disappeared, there was still some thin mist hanging in the air that looked really nice once the sun shone through, where I also closed the aperture in order to get a sunstar. It’s hard to convey the beauty of this impressive location, but I hope this image somehow does it justice. I hope you like it!
“We need wild places because they remind us of the world beyond the human…the experience of landscapes can give people a sense of bigness outside themselves that has now in some way been lost.”
Wallace Stegner.
ITALIANO
““i luoghi selvaggi ci sono necessari perchè ci ricordano di un mondo al di là dell’umano. Foreste, pianure, praterie, deserti, montagne: l’esperienza di questi paesaggi può ispirare alla gente il sentimento di una grandezza esterna all’uomo, un sentimento che oggi è andato quasi del tutto perduto.”

I usually think of Wales as a land of green rolling hills, but this landscape in the north seemed more like the places I have seen in the American West.
I hope you will take a minute to view this in Large.
Thank you so much for your visit!
