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.
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'.

The small cairn marking the summit of Conachcraig. It's very cold here so it's definitely time for sandwiches .. and a hot coffee!
Conachcraig is a Corbett standing at 865 meters (2837 feet). A Corbett is a Scottish mountain between 2500 and 3000 feet high, with at least 500 feet of descent on all sides.
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.
