In 2003 this was a place with wonderful reflections. When I came back in 2008 it was difficult to find a dry spot to stand, but lucky for me the reflection was a real beauty :-)
***** I am heartbroken, I accidently hit DELETE on my last image, while being EXPLORED in the 10th spot, with 34,523 views. Sad

This image is an example of the surprising geology of Greenland. Most of you are familiar with Sugarloaf Mountain in Rio de Janeiro, a classic example of a bornhardt. I was amazed to see this line of granite bornhardts near the water on Jameson Land, Hall Bredning, next to a dome-shaped iceberg. Scoresby Sund, East Greenland.

On Sunday, snow had returned from 500 metres above sea level in the Apennine mountains and I could not miss such a long overdue opportunity.
I went up to 1200 mt where there is a forest road that is closed to traffic in winter. A wonderful place to get around on skis or snowshoes. Powdery snow ranged from 25 to 50 cm.
Lovely afternoon, finished on snow until after sunset. Meet only just two hikers girls, a Roe Deer and filmed a very long and recent track of a lone wolf on another nearby road.
Domenica era tornata la neve dai 500 metri di altezza in su, sulle montagne dell'appennino emiliano; occasione imperdibile.
Son salito ad un passo a quota 1200 mt dove inizia una strada forestale che in inverno viene chiusa al traffico. Un posto ideale dove muoversi con sci o racchette da neve. C'erano dai 25 ai 50 cm di neve farinosa. Rimaso lì fin dopo il tramonto.
Incontrate due escursioniste, un capriolo e filmate una serie infinita di impronte di un lupo solitario "stampate" su uno strato di rigelo notturno smollato durante il giorno (temperatura +1.5/2).

New Zealand (Sth, Island)
The ninth and final shot of my New Zealand mini-series regarding travel to and from Porters Ski Fields, from my 2018 photo archives. Other aspects of New Zealand will continue on though.
Because this lake was frozen and looked, to me, rather regal, I liked the ad hoc title above. The official name though is Lake Lyndon, where part of it, mainly a winter tree in detail, was previously shot on the way back from Porter's Ski Field ("Scenic Winter ~ Lake Lyndon, NZ).
I had forgotten about this shot in my archives, as prompted by the post yesterday 'Snowy Mountain Range Peaks', where I then recalled also stopping at the lake for a travel break on the way to Porters. That said, I think it looks relevant in putting it side-by-side with that pic, as the travel was together. :-)

Bird's eye view .
A little rustic birdhouse sits perched in the middle of this breathtaking sanctuary of nature.
The tidal Pitt River as seen here, is located betweeen the marsh lands and the BC Coastal Mountains.
The river is actually quite wide in this area, you just can't tell from the perspective this image was taken from.
So many times I have motored past this location by boat.
Pitt Polder Ecological Reserve was established to preserve a fragment of the rapidly disappearing Fraser Valley boglands.
Ecological reserves protect special natural ecosystems, and support research and education. They are not intended for outdoor recreation. However, this ecological reserve is open to the public for non-destructive activities like hiking, nature observation and photography.
Consumptive activities like hunting, fishing, camping, or foraging are prohibited. Motorized vehicles are not allowed.

The Pitt River in British Columbia, Canada is a large tributary of the Fraser River, entering it a few miles upstream from New Westminster and about 25 km ESE of Downtown Vancouver. The river, which begins in the Garibaldi Ranges of the Coast Mountains, is in two sections above and below Pitt Lake and flows on a generally southernly course. Pitt Lake and the lower Pitt River are tidal in nature as the Fraser's mouth is only a few miles downstream from their confluence.
The Pitt River drains into the northern end of Pitt Lake. The western shore of Pitt Lake are protected within Pinecone Burke Provincial Park, while most of the eastern shore are protected within Golden Ears Provincial Park. The southern end of Pitt Lake features an extensive marshland called Pitt Polder. While most of this marshland has since been drained for agricultural use, the northernmost portion is strictly protected in order to provide critical habitat for migratory birds.

I had to get out and take some snowy Organ Mountain pics since we ended up with some beautiful holiday snow. This was taken from atop of A-Mountain in Las Cruces. More images to come.

Muntanyes Rocalloses, CANADÀ 2024
Pyramid Island is a small, highly scenic island located in Pyramid Lake, within Jasper National Park (Canadian Rockies, Alberta). It is one of the most photographed spots in the area due to its spectacular views.
Iconic Views: The island offers the best vantage point for admiring the emblematic Pyramid Mountain, which rises majestically over the lake.
Accessibility: It is connected to the shore by a picturesque wooden pedestrian bridge, making it easily accessible to everyone.
Highlights: Besides being a popular location for photography (especially during sunrise and sunset), the island features a rustic 1933 shelter, perfect for picnics. The lake is popular for canoeing in the summer and ice skating in the winter.
Location: It is very close to the town of Jasper, making it an essential and accessible stop for travelers exploring the Canadian Rockies.
It's incredible but sometimes the great outdoors aren't far from everyday life. This is one of my favorites.
E' incredibile ma a volte i grandi spazi non sono poi così lontani dalla vita di tutti i giorni. Questo è uno di quelli che preferisco.

My final upload from this series of the Tors of North Ramshead Snowy Mountains Australia. We spent the night camping at this location and during the afternoon a sweet storm passed by with load thunder echoing around the mountains and the odd lightning strike, only small but I was lucky enough to capture one that afternoon.

Breathtaking winter view during springtime along the Aurlandsvegen (Rv 243) Norway.
The Aurlandsvegen or Snøvegen (Snow road) is a small road between Aurland and Lærdal. You can choose between the fast way, The Lærdaltunnel (E16) or you can drive along a beautiful touristic road;-)
Mist drifts across the waters as if the island itself is breathing, each exhale a story, each inhale a prayer. The dynasty endures, not in its monuments, but in the quiet that follows them.
The story deepens here, echoing whispers from Eternal Dynasty, where mist and memory entwine.

My target for the XXL lunar eclipse was to capture it at a mountain lake in Switzerland which is not "overphotographed" . My first thought was "Stellisee near Zermatt has the perfect setting!". But no, that's exactly one of those spots. Then I opened Google Earth and did a lot of investigation, but found no other lake with an appropriate view to the right direction. So I ended where I didn't wanted to and I didn't regret it a single minute.

To the left the path continues toward Mt Kosciuszko, Australia's highest peak. To the right a raven flies above a rock-strewn hillside. One of the local ravens followed me for a time on the trail. I said to it, 'It's not my time to die today, go and follow someone else.' Eventually it did.
UPDATE: the green part of the truck is gone as of November 28, 2024. the rusted back end is still there.
41 degrees - what the heck was i thinking. but this area in the tehachapi pass is just SO intriguing.
i have to go back for more exploration, a lot of rock houses i'd like to shoot. i got there well after the sun went down so didn't really have a lot of time to explore. but this truck was really cool.
Going with the steepest skylift of the world at Loen to the top (1011m in 5 minutes) was a beautiful experience and what a view😍
If you go not that early you almost have this place to yourself🌞
As seen flying over the various snow laden mountain chains on my trip to Montreal. Some sections were clearer than others, but much of the flight was in mist. I am not sure just over what mountain range this shot was taken through the window of the plane, but it would have been between BC and AB in the West.
Up until now I'd been so single minded that I hadn't even registered them at all. I mean, seriously, how can you not see mountains? And away from Macgillycuddy's Reeks, Mount Brandon is the highest in Ireland. It was only as I arrived at the junction, fully intending to turn right and retrace my route back to Clogher Head for the last ninety odd minutes that I finally noticed there were big white lumps at the back of the peninsula, peering out of the gloom like ghosts. Had they been white when I'd arrived here a few hours ago? I didn't think so, but I couldn't really remember. I'd been so engrossed in plans that lay in the opposite direction, Ballydavid Head and the Three Sisters, that somehow Mount Brandon and its ridges had eluded me entirely. But the moment I saw them, plan B was immediately shelved. Clogher Head could wait a little longer. I turned left; pointlessly as it would soon become apparent. A slow four mile circuit that eventually brought me to a place I recognised from earlier, just a few hundred yards down the road from where I'd started. If only I’d turned right.
We don't have mountains where I live. Not even close. The nearest ones are more than two hundred miles away in South Wales. Snow is almost unheard of at home too. Suddenly and unexpectedly I had both. I had come to the Dingle Peninsula to photograph the coast, but those spectral titans were competing for my attention. Not for the first time either. I'd already been sidetracked by the aforementioned Macgillycuddy's Reeks on the way here yesterday. That unscheduled stop had eaten into my time at Dunmore Head, although it had been worth the trouble. Today I'd meant to stay up on Ballydavid Head until I could only just about see my way back down again, but the weather had brought that episode to an early end. The same weather that had dusted the mountains in icing sugar and given me something else to be distracted by. But I decided I could live with that.
What made things particularly interesting was that it was clear on the lower slopes. Only the uppermost parts of the land were sprinkled with snow, while below there were contrasting oranges and browns. By now I was parked on a quiet junction where Slea Head Drive arrived at the road towards Dingle. Now and again a solitary car would pass by, but apart from that I was completely untroubled. With my back to the sea, I jumped up onto the verge and pointed my camera at the ghosts. The tripod stayed in the car as I trusted my luck with the telephoto lens and the image stabilisation. After twenty odd minutes I decided I could do no more and set off for Clogher Head, from where the mountains continued to dominate this remote corner of County Kerry. I stayed there on the headland until it was dark, snaffling the remains of today's provisions and congratulating myself on being such a lucky chap. It was the only full day I had here, and it had been everything I'd hoped for, with a great big ghostly bonus prize in the sky thrown in.
This is an extraordinary place. So much packed into such a small area on this sparsely populated finger of land beyond the town that gives the peninsula its name. The coast is as good as anywhere I've ever been lucky enough to visit with its abundance of cliffs, promontories, untouched beaches, sea stacks and mysterious islands. Yet here alongside it there are mountains, lakes, forests, and the odd waterfall too. A continent in miniature, shielded from the rest of the nation by the ghosts in the sky, clinging onto the edge of Europe, while the untamed Atlantic Ocean charges in from the west. It's got the lot. I've hardly begun to get my bearings here, let alone learn what else is waiting to be discovered. And this is just one tiny corner of a wild and rugged Ireland, packed with myths and legends that span the centuries back to the dark ages and beyond. It would take years to even start to see it all. Trying to decide which bit to visit next time is going to be a heck of a challenge.
