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.

Nearing the summit of the Byron Hill grade, CN SD75Is 5683 and 5796 enter the shadows, lugging a heavy manifest up the hill with pushers from Fond du Lac on the rear, out of sight.
Shout out to Ski Patrol! First time bringing my Sony out to the mountain, and hopefully not the last!

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.
Look close, apparently I didn't stay still enough for that long exposure. But I kind of like it anyway.

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.

Being my first visit to this area, I needed to explore so I parked up at Loch Maree and set off following a promising looking path.
On the glaciered summit crest of the Breithorn (4,164 m, 13,661 ft), preparing for a Matterhorn summit ascent on the nearby Hörnligrat 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 Gandegghütte, 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.

At the heart of this penthouse lies a spacious living room with sweeping views of the sparkling pool. A sleek suspended fireplace and a macassar ebony wood accent wall, which stretches seamlessly from indoors to outdoors, combine an elegant fashion forward feel with an airy sense of openness.

Beyond the living room, a hallway leads to the medium sized second bedroom with its own fireplace. Across the hall is an elegant jewelbox bathroom with glossy tiled walls, a space for a shower or bathtub, a built-in sink with a suspended mirror, and a separate toilet area discreetly concealed behind a tinted black glass sliding door.
Tucked away behind its own private hallway is the piece de resistance of this apartment: the main bedroom suite.
This suite offers a bedroom area with panoramic views and direct access to the outdoor patio and pool, an optional matching custom TV pedestal and a beautifully designed en-suite bathroom which includes freestanding ceramic pedestal sinks with high end chrome plumbing, a suspended mirror (functional in the PBR version), a shower or bathtub space with built-in shelving, and a discreet, dedicated area for the toilet.
