an early morning ascent of "The Pinnacles" to wait for sunrise, the clouds were already gathered in wait as well ! The bright light isn't actually the sun- which was behind thick cloud, rather it is the reflection on the sea immediately below
The summit terrain of the low eastern foothills of the Adirondack Mountains harbors a unique ecology of grass and ferns, with well-dispersed hickories and oaks. Spaces to me of an epic charm.
I appreciate your comments! I will reply in visits to your photo streams.
Summit of the Gurnigelpass (1600 meters above sea) on a clear night. The environment is completely lit by the fullmoon. It's a so called 'supermoon', when the distance the the earth is the shortest possible, which makes him (apparently) shine up to 30% brighter.
The peaks in the background (from left) are: Nünenen, Gantrisch, Bürglen and Ochsen.
Mount Erciyes (Turkish: Erciyes Dağı) is a massive stratovolcano located 25 km (16 mi) to the south of Kayseri in Turkey.
Erciyes is the highest mountain in central Anatolia, located within the ancient region of Cappadocia, with its summit reaching 3,916 m (12,848 ft). It is considered to be the highest peak of the Anti-Taurus mountain range, a northeastern extension of the Taurus Mountains to the south, and belongs to the Alpide belt in Eurasia.
The volcano is heavily eroded, but may have erupted as recently as 253 BC, as may be depicted on Roman era coins.
From the laguna Chulluncani, we contemplate an impressive volcanic summit in front of us, the Cerro Caquella (5857 m - 17848 ft).

It was a dream time to admire some summits of the Vosges. It was mild, much more than at the bottom of the valleys where someone from Munster where I stopped on my way back told me that it had been cold and gray all week.
It is not very high, the Hohneck on the right rises for example to 1363 m (4471ft) , but this landscape has plenty of charm with these snow-capped summits and these valleys covered in places with fog banks.

Sommets des Vosges
C'était un temps de rêve pour admirer quelques sommets des Vosges. Il faisait doux, bien plus que au fond des vallées où quelqu'un de Munster où je me suis arrêté au retour m'a dit qu'il avait fait froid et gris toute la semaine.
Ce n'est pas très haut, l'Hohneck sur la droite culmine par exemple à 1363 m, mais ce paysage a beaucoup de charme avec ces sommets enneigés et ces vallées recouvertes par endroits de bancs de brume.

Took this shot about 25 miles north of Winnemucca Nevada off US-95. Paradise Summit is approximately 5300' above sea level.
We're on the the upper slopes now and getting closer to Glas Maol, just the steep slope to the left to go. From there we traverse the ridge to reach the summit of Creag Leacach.
Glas Maol (meaning the grey green hill) is my 18th Munro and stands at a height of 1068 meters (3504 feet). Creag Leacach (meaning 'the slabby crag') is my 19th and stands at 987 meters (3238 feet).
A pun on 'something abstract', weathered paint and plaster on a wall in South London resembles a mountain peak. I also thought of calling this 'Peaky Blinder'.

An easy hike with big payoffs for views, toughest part was the six miles of forest service road, it's one for the ages. I don't know if you will ever see the pics of the spectacular view from 5800 feet as the haze was so bad, but Bear Head Peak and Mount Rainier are just to my right and 1300 feet down is Cosplay Lake and my truck. I think in a couple weeks it's going to get a lot of orange yellow and red up here, time sure is flying.

When I was reviewing my images on the back of the camera on the evening of our first day in The Lakes, I could have sworn I saw an image where I'd captured two people on the summit of Catstye Cam. However, I had trouble finding it when the images were imported into Lightroom. Pleased to say I finally found the image this morning.
I've uploaded the image in high res so you can click and zoom.
Denali has two significant summits: the South Summit is the higher one at 20,310 feet (6,190 m), while the North Summit has an elevation of 19,470 ft (5,934 m). They are both in view here.
The South Summit is the climbing target. The North Summit doesn't draw as many climbers.
A shot or two more of Denali then moving on.
Thanks for taking a look!
2.5 hours after dropping the bikes, and some considerable climbing, here we are at 1157 meters (3796 feet) and the summit of our first mountain of the day Beinn Bhrotain. I couldn't resist getting a little extra height by standing on top of the tri point!!
Beinn Bhrotain (pronounced Bane Vrottan meaning Hill of the Hound) stands at 1157 meters (3796 feet) and is the first of our Munros today. Monadh Mor (pronounced Monnagh Mor meaning The Big Hill) is our second and final destination and stands at 1113 meters (3651 feet). A short 5 mile cycle up Glen Dee gets us to the foot of the climb, then it's an 11 mile hike across rough and boggy ground to get there. An epic 8.5 hours, largely un-pathed, time in the hills gets us back to the cars just before full dark falls!
• Above the clouds the world grows light,
a quiet hush, a softer sight.
The heart lifts up where breezes roam,
and finds in sky a second home.
Joy blooms there in gentle blue
a whispered promise, wide and true
that all the weight we hold below
can melt in sun-washed fields of snow.
Snaking through the multiple curves east of Summit, Montana, a Burlington Northern Santa Fe grain train traverses Marias Pass on September 9, 1999. Up front is an eclectic group of motive power led by BNSF warbonnet GE C44-9W No. 781. Trailing the 781 is a former Santa Fe LRCX C30-7, a Burlington Northern C30-7, a Santa Fe EMD SD45-2B, and finally, another Dash 9 in Heritage II paint.
Was at Palmer Park the other day with Aurora when we ran into this dog named Summit and his owners. Aurora instantly liked him and they ran around together playing for an hour. It was nice to see her so happy and playing like a puppy again. Guess he got worn out too since he decided to lay in the snow for awhile.

As we traverse further along the cliffs at the edge of the Cairn Gorm plateau we can clearly the way ahead and the final climb up to the prominent rocky summit of Cairn Gorm itself.
Cairn Gorm, the mountain from which the Cairngorm mountain range gets its name, stands at 1245 meters (4085 feet) and is my 4th Munro of the season, my 27th in total. The hike (no bike this time) sees me covering a circuit of just over 7 miles and making an elevation gain of around 762 meters (2500 feet).
