Elbrus - the fifth of the "Seven peaks", the highest mountain in Europe, and the highest peak in Russia.
Elbrus is located in the Greater Caucasus, on the border of the Republic of Kabardino-Balkaria and Karachay-Cherkessia. It is the highest mountain Russia. The highest peak of Europe is a two saddle vertex cone of the volcano. The western peak has a height of 5642 m, East - 5621 m The last eruption was in the 50th century AD.
Not much is known for certain about this structure. It's on private land, so I couldn't get any closer. You can read more about it here: www.romeoriders.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=123
Sunset this evening was pretty weird. A very late color showed up and I'd thought I wouldn't see any color at all. On top of that, it was high tide, the waves were crashing on the shore violently.
One night while sitting in our lounge room down in Burnie, Tasmania, we started to notice everything turning pink outside the windows. I grabbed the only camera at hand which was the big medium format film 3D camera, and grabbed this single shot from our front garden. It was changing fast and this was all gone and just another dull grey evening within 20 seconds!
It was just a mix of a briefly vivid sunset behind me shining through a very narrow gap in the clouds lighting up some unusually low cloud that had rolled in over us leaving a very shaded deep blue sky beyond the lower level of the low clouds. It made for a momentarily eerie scene.
Being such a hasty shot, I didn't have time to grab a tripod, and from memory, the exposure time was very slow - perhaps just 1/15th of a second, hence it is not perfectly focussed or steady, but I just had to grab something from this single amazing minute of colour.
Original colour slide was taken around 2007 with a 3D World medium format stereo film camera using Fuji Provia 100F colour slide film. Scanned with a Canon R10 with RF24-240mm lens and Nisi close up attachment.
Nothing like a beautiful pre-dawn sky with some heavy valley fog to transform a familiar location into a place of mystery, beauty and inspirational rejuvenation. Photographed from the main trail in the La Crosse Blufflands, La Crosse County, Wisconsin.
Some really interesting clouds appeared for a while a few days ago. The pasture with some curious sheep and goats just happened to be nearby. And HFF. You can zoom in and see a fence on the horizon. Or you can just take my word for it. 😊
Yeah, another shot from my Death Valley trip. This view was after sunset at the Mesquite Dune with the clouds catching the fading light.

A view across the tidal sand flats, taken from the Port Germein Jetty in South Australia on a wonderful stormy day.
Well, I've been going back through the archives and found this one from a trip back in 2017 with 2 great photography buddies. There's not too many things better than sitting at Clingman's Dome in the Smokies watching the sunset.

Never a bad view from this hilltop, overlooking Nez Perce County's rolling farmland. The clouds are always so dramatic here.
