The climb to the Brèche du Dérochoir (2171 m- 7451 ft) from the Refuge de Sales (1870 m- 6135 ft) was harder than the drop suggested, especially the last climb before reaching the top.
But there, suddenly, the entire Mont-Blanc range vas deployed in front of our amazed eyes, from the Aiguille Verte (4122 m - 13524 ft ) to the Mont Blanc (4808 m - 15774 ft).
I had never seen it so perfectly in all its extent, neither too close nor too far, just the wright distance to clearly distinguish and recognize the high peaks which stood out in a perfect light on this vertiginous relief.
A view of anthology, it was a great moment!

A couper le souffle !
La montée à la Brèche du Dérochoir (2171 m) depuis le refuge de Sales (1870 m) fut plus dure que ne le suggérait le dénivelé, particulièrement la fin de la montée avant d'arriver en haut.
Mais là, d'un coup, tout la chaîne du Mont-Blanc était déployée devant nos yeux émerveillés, depuis l'Aiguille Verte (4122 m) jusqu'au Mont Blanc (4808 m).
Je ne l'avais jamais vu aussi parfaitement dans toute son ampleur, ni trop près, ni trop loin, juste le bon recul pour bien distinguer et reconnaître les hauts sommets qui se découpaient dans une lumière parfaite sur ce relief vertigineux.
Une vue d'anthologie, ce fut un grand moment !

A typical foggy September morning at a promising location in the Volcanic Eifel. As soon as the sun rises above the horizon, the fog intensifies and glows in warm tones.

I am on a business-trip in Switzerland this week, unfortunately without my camera. The weather is probably not perfect for great shootings, low clouds and thunderstorms are real spoil-sports. Anyway, I post an older shot from a recent visit, showing the Rhine Falls of Schaffhausen, Switzerland
Breathtaking sight over the Manhattan skyline from the observation deck of the Rockefeller Center, also known as "Top of the Rocks".

The breathtakingly grand rice terraces of Batad Village in Ifugao Province, Philippines.
If you look closely to the bottom half of the image you'll see the numerous steps used by the locals to scale one section of the terraces. It is a feat just to move from one terrace to another let alone moving grains and produce manually.
The farming practice in the mountainous provinces of northern Philippines dates back to more than 2000 years. Due to the daunting landscape, the use of modern machinery is minimal except perhaps for milling the grains. The terrace construction, upkeep and irrigation is an astounding feat of engineering and manual workmanship. Plowing and transplanting each rice seedling is a back-breaking activity.
Beautiful in their grandeur, these terraces are testaments to the harsh traditional life in northern Philippines and the hardiness and astounding industry of the locals who live there.
This is one of the most beautiful and breathtaking views I have had on my trip through the Allgäu. I'm standing on mt. Tegelberg, at a height of about 1800 meters and look over countless Alpine peaks. Unfortunately I don't know the name of any of them. Not even from this sleeping giant lying right in front of me.
I could have stayed here for hours or wandered around, but unfortunately it was already afternoon and we still had to catch the last ride on the mt. Tegelberg ropeway. And so I only had 20 minutes just enough time to shoot this panorama.
Next time I'll take the first train up early in the morning and spend a whole day exploring these many paths (some of which can also be seen in the picture).
I am sure there is so much more to discover and photograph up here.
Dies ist einer der schönsten und atemberaubendsten Ausblicke, die sich mir auf meiner Reise durchs Allgäu geboten haben. Ich stehe auf dem Tegelberg, in einer Höhe von ca. 1.800 Metern und blicke über unzählige Alpengipfel hinweg. Leider weiß ich von keinem einzigen den Namen. Nicht einmal von diesem schlafenden Riesen, der direkt vor mir liegt.
Ich hätte hier für Stunden ausharren oder herumwandern können, doch leider war es schon am Nachmittag, und wir mussten die letzte Fahrt der Tegelbergbahn noch erwischen. Und so hatte ich nur 20 Minuten Zeit, gerade genug für dieses eine Panorama.
Beim nächsten Mal werde ich früh Morgens mit der ersten Bahn hoch fahren und einen ganzen Tag damit verbringen diese vielen Wege (von denen einige auch im Bild zu sehen sind) zu erkunden.
Ich bin mir sicher, dass es hier oben noch so viel mehr zu entdecken und zu fotografieren gibt.

As we are approaching the Valle de la Luna, the arid beauty of the Atacama Desert stands out. The landscape in the foreground is dominated by crystallized salt formations. The mountain in the background is the Licancabur volcano. (Atacama desert, Chile)
The picture is not of best quality. It was taken from a distance with a 28-135mm fitted but I could not resist trying to catch it anyway. (:-D
Best seen in Large. Thanks.
I have often come to the Roche de Solutré (Solutre's Rock) to admire the gorgeous 360 degrees view that we discover at its top.
But I must admit that there, at sunset, under this very special light, with this sea of clouds covering the valley of the Saone River and the Mont-Blanc clearly visible on the horizon, it was an unusual breathtaking sight !

Je suis venu souvent à la Roche de Solutré pour admirer la magnifique vue à 360 degrés qu'on découvre à son sommet.
Mais je dois avouer que là, au soleil couchant, sous cette lumière très spéciale, avec cette mer de nuages recouvrant la vallée de la Saône et le Mont-Blanc bien visible à l'horizon, c'était un spectacle inhabituel à couper le souffle !

a breathtaking view, a place full of history and charm of the past and mysticism. It was a real surprise. Italy is truly full of wonderful places
This monument is a symbol of Piedmont Region and a place that inspired the writer Umberto Eco to conceive the best-seller “Il nome della rosa” ( The name of the rose ) , the Sacra of San Michele is an ancient abbey built between 983 and 987 on the top of mount Pirchiriano, 40 km from Turin. From it’s towers you can admire Turin and a breathtaking view of the Val di Susa. Inside the main Church of the Sacra, dating from the twelfth century, are buried members of House of Savoy (one of the oldest royal family in the world).
Dedicated to the worship of the Archangel Michele, defender of the Christian people, the Sacra di San Michele fits inside a ruote of pilgrimage (long over 2000 km) wich runs from Saint-Michel ( France ) to Monte Sant’Angelo (Puglia).
The history, the spiritual value and the landscape that sorrounds it trasform the Sacra in a special destination for visitors from all over Europe: pilgrims, faithfuls, tourists but also athletes who want to test themselves with climbing paths or mountain-bike.
The Sacra di San Michele offers to its public guided tours and events during all months of the year.
The different historical, architecture and painting sites are accessible to people with disabilities.
I went on a short trip to one of my favorite lighthouses, Castle Hill Light near Newport, Rhode Island. It's still very difficult to access due to covid rules, but I managed. The view of Narragansett Bay was breathtaking as usual. One of the best settings for a lighthouse.
Zoom in for the full view.
I took this photo at the top of an access road above the red roofed church. it was a challenge to omit all of the people and busses that kept pulling into the church parking lot. The Village below is Vik, Iceland.
A breathtaking view of this beautiful valley.

The quite breathtaking view from the Pinnacle summit, certainly worth the walk. I had to wait though to get an image without the daredevil "insta crowd" posing on that closest ledge. Shudder ... the cries of "I'm soooo freaking scared" were ringing out loud and clear for all to hear. My internal dialogue was something like "And so you "freaking" should be" Some word/s might have been changed :)
Snowcapped peaks,hovering clouds,fluttering prayer flags and an atmosphere of peace and contentment - that is Arunachal Pradesh for you.The shores of Lake Sangetsar Tso (altitude 12000 feet) near Tawang.
Have a wonderful day my friends and thank you for your visits and comments.
SÜDAFRIKA( South-Africa), Wanderung am St. Blaize Trail bei Mossel Bay
Direkt unterhalb der St. Blaize-Höhle beginnt der St. Blaize Trail, ein atemberaubender, aber leicht-begehbarer 14 km langer Küstenwanderweg zwischen Mossel Bay und Dana Bay. Aber man muss ja nicht die ganze Strecke laufen! Nach ca. 45 Minuten und 2,1 km entlang der Steilküste mit Natur pur, wunderschönem Blick über den Indischen Ozean und abwechslungsreicher Flora und Fauna .
The St. Blaize Trail begins directly below the St. Blaize Cave, a breathtaking but easily accessible 14 km coastal hiking trail between Mossel Bay and Dana Bay. But you don't have to walk the whole way! After approx. 45 minutes and 2.1 km along the cliffs with pure nature, beautiful views over the Indian Ocean and varied flora and fauna
