2020 was a difficult and strange year for most of us and much worse for others. The world changed drastically causing pain and loss for so many but we've had to adapt, learning a new way of living. Hope seems to lie around the corner in this new year with vaccines giving chance of a return to more normal times. Good luck to all of you, I hope 2021 brings you good health, happiness and some level of luck, for your families and friends too. Happy New Year!
Always a thrill to feature in Explore, thanks for looking and for your faves and kind comments. I'm very flattered!

This water is not supposed to be here! In beautiful weather with no wind, there were huge waves pushing water into the land. A fascinating sight!

Mount Assiniboine is a pyramidal peak mountain located on the Great Divide, on the British Columbia/Alberta border in Canada. It is the highest peak (3,618 m) in the Southern Continental Ranges of the Canadian Rockies. There are two ways to get here: one is to get in and out by helicopter, and the other is to walk more than 30 kilometers in one way. The helicopter lifts to huts or lodge at Lake Magog. Mount Assiniboine rises nearly 1,525m above Lake Magog.
Spent three days in a hut by taking helicopter in Mt. Assiniboine Provincial Park, with no electricity, no signal, and heated by camp fire at night. There are only 5 huts in the park, and limited campsites and lodges for people to stay overnight. Luggage by helicopter cannot exceed 40 pounds. Need to bring own garbage down the mountain.
From the huts to the top of the mountain, had to climb 5.7 kilometers to Niblet to shoot the sunrise and sunset at Sunburst Peaks. The hiking trail from the huts to Nub Peak via Niblet was the best trail ever. Woke up at 4am in the morning and climbed the mountain with a headlamp on, also with bear spray, to capture the sunrise; hiked down the mountains and climbed up again before sunset to capture sunset… After the sunset, it was dark, went down the mountain with headlamp on, so afraid contacting with bears ... Did like this for two days. No electricity and no signal for three days, went to the river to get water, boiled water at the public "kitchen" … lived as a savage for three days.
This was the scene before sunset, clouds hanging on top of Mount Assiniboine! This is the sight of heaven falling on earth. It was truly a place of incredible peace…a place for you to disconnect from the busy world and reconnect with nature… (Sept.18, 2022)

Built in 1875, Sassoon docks is one of the oldest in India. It is one of the few docks open to the public. The fishing boats arrive in the morning and the dock bursts with colour and action.
The Krimml Waterfalls form the highest waterfall in Europe and the fifth highest waterfall in the world. The falls, formed from the Krimmler Ache River, overcome 380 m in three steps. The Krimml Waterfall Trail leads along the waterfalls and offers breathtaking views.
Austrian doctors discovered the healing powers of the Krimml Waterfalls as long as 200 years ago. According to their description, the fine spray helps to heal exterior inflammations and pains caused by debility and weakness. Even nervous ailments can be alleviated or even healed when visiting the waterfalls.
Thank you for looking,

Spotted this on the Camel Trail and thought it was worth taking. Love the curves and roots wrapping around it.

The last of my Autumn images for another year I'd think. The recent wind has taken care of the remaining leaves at this stage.
My five year old niece in Australia looked at this image and decided it needed a Unicorn. She was so sincere, and so right :-)
