Although a bit of a hike, and somewhat crowded, the Cliff Overlook provides magnificent views of Harper's Ferry, WV and the confluence of the Potomac and Shenandoah Rivers.

"Mont Fort is a mountain of the Pennine Alps, located near Verbier in the Swiss canton of Valais. It lies on the range between the valleys of Bagnes and Nendaz, north of the Rosablanche. With a height of 3,328 metres above sea level, Mont Fort is the highest summit north of the Col de Louvie (2,921 m).
Mont Fort is surrounded by several glaciers, the largest being the Glacier de Tortin, on its northwestern side. The second largest is the Glacier du Mont Fort, located on its northeastern side. On its eastern side lies the lower summit Petit Mont Fort (3,135 m). The Glacier du Petit Mont Fort lies between the two summits. There are no glaciers on the south side of the mountain. A small lake named Lac du Petit Mont Fort (2,764 m) lies on the south flank.
The summit of Mont Fort is easily accessible by cable car from the heights of Verbier or Nendaz. The cable cars from the two valleys converge at the intermediate station (2,894 m) north of the Col des Gentianes, the upper section reaching a height of 3,308 metres. In the winter and early spring season, the mountain, including the Glacier de Tortin, is the culminating point of the 4 Vallées ski area.
Der Mont Fort ist mit einer Höhe von 3'329,0 m ü. M. der höchste mit einer Bahn erschlossene Berg in der Region 4 Vallées in den Walliser Alpen. Der Berg ist von Verbier aus zu erreichen mit der Gondelbahn und Sessellift nach La Chaux - Luftseilbahn Col des Gentianes - Mont Fort. Auf der Plattform der Bergstation befindet sich ein Iglu mit 25 Plätzen, in dem man sich mit einem Fondue verpflegen kann. Von der Bergstation der Seilbahn führt ein felsiger Steig zum Gipfel-Kreuz. Von der Spitze des Mont Fort sieht man über fünfzig Berggipfel, darunter das Matterhorn, den Dent Blanche, den Dent d’Hérens und den Mont Blanc. In der näheren Umgebung sind die vergletscherten Gipfel von Rosablanche und des Grand Combins mit dem Glacier de Corbassière zu sehen.[1]
Die 125-Personen-Seilbahn aus Richtung Siviez über Tortin zum Col des Gentianes wurde 1982 gebaut, ebenso ein Gletscherlift auf dem Glacier de Tortin. Später wurde ein parallel verlaufender Gletscherlift ergänzt. Die Gipfelbahn wurde 1983 fertiggestellt. Die als Jumbo titulierte Pendelbahn (150 Personen-Gondel) aus Richtung Verbier von La Chaux zum Col des Gentianes wurde 1987 gebaut. Der Sommerskibetrieb wurde 1999 eingestellt. Seit der Wintersaison 2007/2008 können auch die Gletscherlifte nicht mehr betrieben werden."

The view from just behind Top Withens (or Wuthering Heights) - it was very easy to visualise scenes from the book looking out on this landscape!
For a photo story of my visit:
Looking across Stirkfield Hope from Green Law on the Broughton Heights as the light invades the shadows.
I had this shot up earlier in the year and somehow deleted it. No need to comment or fav. I just wanted to get it back up on the site as part of my collection. :) Sunrise heights association sunrise.

Inscribed on the monument: Out of the mountain of despair, a stone of hope.
On a weekend right after Juneteenth, a quiet evening at Martin Luther King memorial. Several people were around, families, kids, taking photos with the memorial.
A morning sunrise rise at a local association called Sunrise Heights. I had a .6 graduated filter to knock down the sky and let the foreground come through. I also had to darken the trees a little to cover the dark line on the trees created by the filter. The colors are true to the shot.

Many people with a fear of heights and flying, end up flying the highest :)

The monolith at Alport Heights...it’s been a while since I visited this spot, the air was so clear that if you look carefully you can see the wind farm on the ridge, way over in the distance.
Mind you, as my feet were trying their best to cripple me it was a painful endeavour. Who says I don’t suffer for my art?
Anyways, today being a work day has seen the agony dissipate somewhat...let’s see if it comes back for the weekend...
A beautiful submission from Belle Epoque for the SPELLBOUND event.
opportunity to use this awesome hair again from Foxy too <3
I'm in love with my own avie.

Wuthering Heights
Kate Bush
[Pre-Chorus]
Too long I roam in the night
I'm coming back to his side to put it right
I'm coming home to wuthering, wuthering
Wuthering Heights
[Chorus]
Heathcliff, it's me, I'm Cathy
I've come home, I'm so cold
Let me in-a-your window
Heathcliff, it's me, I'm Cathy
I've come home, I'm so cold
Let me in-a-your window

What is the nature of romance?
Obsession? Possession? Love that hurts to the deepest parts of the soul?

Abandoned farm near Letts,IA. The barn in the foreground is a pretty unique one in construction and design. It has an enclosed crib to store grain which is pretty rare...
I’ve been away for a few days in Haworth, Yorkshire, home of the Brontë sisters. This picture was taken at Top Withens, supposedly the inspiration for Wuthering Heights - a walk of 8 miles there and back across the moors, but so worth it.
My brother reckons the ghostly figure looks like someone hanging from the tree…
My title here reflects the reality of this landscape. Many of these ancient crags remain completely unclimbed.
How do I measure up to heights you've been to?
How could I ever love you like you're meant to?
How could a view of my skies light your temple?
How beautiful the bird outside my window
Always greener on my other side of things
Think so much of you, I can't overthink
Can't take my eyes off you, I don't wanna blink (no, no)
Never thought something so beautiful could
Haunt you, haunt you, haunt you
Better off this way but
I want you, want you, want you
Sometimes I just wanna fucking
Call you, call you, call you
Never thought something beautiful could
Haunt you, haunt you, haunt you
Must be the summer breeze, the smell of orchids
Or its the way you look, I won't forget it
Watching the devils dance outside my doorstep
Some kind of heaven I haven't seen yet
Always greener on my other side of things
Think so much of you, I can't overthink
Can't take my eyes off you, I don't wanna blink (no, no)
Never thought something so beautiful could
Haunt you, haunt you, haunt you
Better off this way but
I want you, want you, want you
Sometimes I just wanna fucking
Call you, call you, call you
Never thought something beautiful could
Haunt you, haunt you, haunt you
Never thought something so beautiful could
(Haunt you, haunt you, haunt you)
Never thought something so beautiful could
Haunt you, haunt you, haunt you
Better off this way but
I want you, want you, want you
Sometimes I just wanna fucking
Call you, call you, call you
Never thought something beautiful could
Haunt you, haunt you, haunt you

Steel parts were once cast here and large machines were later repaired. This second Stork iron foundry was built in 1902. In 1979, the foundry closed to make way for Stork Services. At the end of the 1990s, they were the last to leave the building. Now, the Foundry has remained as a municipal monument in the middle of the hall of the new ROC complex. This has made history a visible part of the future. uitinhengelo.nl/roc-van-twente-gieterij
An early rainy morning from a top Bernal Heights in San Francisco.
Thanks for taking the time to check out my photostream I really appreciate it
The distant Langdale Pikes emerge from the morning mists behind this stand of Silver Birch Tree's.
It felt very Spring like here, sat on Tom Heights, looking out over Holme Fell towards the Western Fells. There had been a lot of snow on the tops over the last few days, but the temperatures today meant that there was very little of that left.
I had a lovely morning wander along this ridge, before heading over to the Dales later!

The "Alport Stone," is a prominent pillar of quarried gritstone, a natural landmark on Alport Heights, near Wirksworth, Derbyshire.
It's a local landmark with views of the Derwent and Ecclesbourne Valleys. The National Trust acquired 9 acres of land near the summit in 1930, making it one of their first Derbyshire acquisitions and providing free access to the site.
The stone itself likely predates the late 19th century, as it's visible on a 1st edition OS map from around 1880.
The photo was taken in Brooklyn Heights,one of Brooklyn's oldest districts.Besides it's low rise buildings Brooklyn Heights is known for its brownstone rowhouses,most of which were built prior to the American Civil War.By 1860 the neighborhood had 600 rowhouses.A typical rowhouse had three to four stories with the first floor above street level and reached by stairs or "stoops",a word derived from the Dutch.The brownstone material was quarried in Passaic County,New Jersey.
Brooklyn Heights is also one of New York City's affluent neighborhoods,even more expensive than some parts of Manhattan!In 2010 the average median household income was $119,999 dollars.Many notables,past and present,have lived in Brooklyn Heights.They include:Mary Tyler Moore (who btw was born in Brooklyn),Tyra Banks,Javier Bardem, Norman Mailer,Marilyn Monroe,Matthew Broderick,Harriet Beecher Stowe,Paul Giamatti,Amy Ryan,Amy Lee,and Sarah Jessica Parker to name a few.
Along the water at sunset I did a walk to see how the park would look this year, was surprised how much they will be putting out in next 48 hours when it opens to the public. The gazebo over the water is has been lite well I hope it Inspires someone else the work put into this.
Banff National Park, Alberta
This cloud-wrapped peak caught my eye as I was scouting Two Jack and Minnewanka Lakes near Banff. I don’t know the mountain’s name; under such circumstances I shoot first and ask questions later.
Coronado Heights is a hill northwest of Lindsborg, Kansas. It is alleged to be near the place where Francisco Vásquez de Coronado gave up his search for the seven cities of gold and turned around to return to Mexico.
Coronado Heights is one of a chain of seven sandstone bluffs in the Dakota Formation and rises approximately 300 feet.[1]
In 1915 a professor at Bethany College in Lindsborg found chain mail from Spanish armor at an Indian village excavation site a few miles southwest of the hill,[2] and another Bethany College professor promoted the name of Coronado Heights for the hill. In 1920 the first road was built up the hill, known as Swensson Drive, with a footpath known as Olsson Trail. In 1936, a stone shelter resembling a castle was built on top of the hill as a project of the Works Progress Administration. In 1988 a sculpture by John Whitfield was placed half-way up the hill with the inscription "Coronado Heights 'A Place to Share'".[1]
The hill is now Coronado Heights Park, owned by the Smoky Valley Historical Association. Many visitors have carved their names or initials in the soft sandstone at the summit. It is possible to see for miles from the summit, and wildflowers bloom on the hill in spring and summer. In summer, there are many Cnemidophorus sexlineatus viridis lizards around the castle. It is a great place for a picnic or a day out of the house. Coronado Heights is a great park to have a fun time.
Blooming springtime buds to vertical heights !
