In the historic neighborhoods off Saint Paul's Summit Avenue, there are many traces of the architecture and buildings of the day. Here I found a garage where the corner was covered in ivy. Enjoy!
One of New York's newest architectural icons, One Vanderbilt is a 93-story supertall skyscraper at 42nd St and Vanderbilt Ave.
Upon opening in April 2021, it was the 4th tallest building in NYC.
The observation deck, SUMMIT, opened in late October 2021. The three floors of mirrored surfaces have made it a a must-visit for Instragramers and aspiring fashion models.
The building offers views of the Chrysler Building, rooftops across midtown, but the star is the Empire State Building to the south.
Another photo I took at Bernal Heights last weekend. I saw this couple summitting the hill right below these cypress trees. It was a very nice day for the short hike.

The time at which the sun crosses the celestial equator, when day and night are of equal length, brings about the Fall Equinox at the Summit.
Shout out to Ski Patrol! First time bringing my Sony out to the mountain, and hopefully not the last!
Look close, apparently I didn't stay still enough for that long exposure. But I kind of like it anyway.
A bumpy climb up to Summit Lock - the highest point on the Rochdale Canal near the Lancashire/Yorkshire boundary.
Panorama of higher Himalayas from Mini Pangarchulla Summit (~4,300 mts), Garhwal Himalayas, India - Kalanka (6,931 mts), Hanuman (6,074 mts), Changabang (6,864 mts), Dunagiri (7,066 mts), Hathi (6,727 mts), Gauri (6,708 mts), Mana (7,272 mts), Chaukhamba massif, Neelkanth (6,596 mts), Kamet (7,756 mts)
This is the peoples cross that sits on top of the Bray Head at its summit. It was erected in 1950 and can be seen for miles and miles.
Looking north from the summit of Craigshannoch, part of the Benachie range in Aberdeenshire. The hill is only around 480 metres above sea level, but it was more than enough to lift me above the haar, which has been spreading inland from the North Sea after dusk.
This is the west view from near the summit of Buller Pass (2505 M). Directly below a massive amphitheater carved by the glaciers. To the left, Mount Engadine and to the right Mount Buller.
On the glaciered summit crest of the Breithorn (4,164 m, 13,661 ft), preparing for a Matterhorn summit ascent on the nearby Hƶrnligrat route over the next couple of days. Situated along the Swiss-Italian border in the Pennine Alps, Zermatt, canton of Valais - a spectacular Swiss alpine sanctuary and mountaineer's dream destination. Digital film scan, Summer 1967.
Classic view in the backdrop, left to right: Matterhorn (4,478 m, 14,692 ft), Dent Blanche (4,358 m, 14,298 ft), Ober Gabehorn (4,063 m, 13,330 ft). The Breithorn climb is considered as of the easiest of the 4,000-meter climbs in the Swiss Alps and serves as a useful training climb for the more challenging Matterhorn ascent.

Postscript
Mountaineering and rock climbing seemed relatively pure and simple back in the day, largely devoid of digital smartphones and high-tech gear, permanent bolts, fixed ropes, traffic-jam lineups, and cable-car shortcuts to the legendary climbing routes.
Nowadays the high-altitude GandegghĆ¼tte, typically the starting point on the last leg of the Breithorn ascent, can be reached by a brief 30-minute hike from a relatively new gondola station on nearby Klein Matterhorn, cutting the original Breithorn ascent from the valley by a day.
Once a remote refuge for hikers and alpinists, the upgraded mountain hut now caters to mainstream tourism and sightseeing day trips. It boasts modern hotel accommodations with free Wi-Fi and three-course meals featuring "alpine culinary delights ... carefully selected drinks, relaxed tunes" and a spectacular panoramic view over the 4000-meter-high peaks of the Pennine Alps.
Not everyone is happy with this invasive brand of alpine modernism. Traditional purists in the mountaineering community are particularly troubled. Commercial appeals to the digitalized world of mass tourism, packaged alpine jaunts, and aerial-tram shortcuts appear to have compromised much of the old-world charm, mystery, and adventure in an otherwise pristine mountain refuge.

The boys on the summit of Green Mountain, their second of the three Flatiron peaks. Grueling hike (Gregory Canyon, Ranger Trails) due to 90+ degree temps. Lots of shade, fortunately.
Here the boys have scrambled up to a cemented-stone cairn, on top of which is a metal plate that points out the names of peaks on the Continental Divide that make up the western horizon.
