If you see this place, you're about to face one of most incredible experiences of your life, or may be you just completed it. This is the little temple at the top of the Tanglangla Pass, at 5380mt over the sea level, the second highest pass in the world. Here ends, or begins, the Leh-Manali highway, one of the most dangerous roads in the world and something that you will remember for your whole life, same as the small mantra flags which eternally pray in the wind.
No one was sitting down to enjoy the breathtaking majestic snow peaks of the Dhaulagiri or White Mountain Himalayas Nepal. It is the 7th highest mountains in the world.
Mullaghcleevaun Mountain is the second highest mountain in Co. Wicklow and is 849m high. The name in Irish means "the summit of the cradle" and Cleevaun Loch is a wonderful small jewel of a lake on its eastern slope.
Pollaphuca reservoir with Black and Sorrel hills can be seen in the distance and on a clear day, the Hills of Wales are visible but Ive been caught in the rain up there on my last two visits and had to abandon the trip.
Tragedy occurred there in the 70s when a group of young men drowned while swimming in the lake and there is a monument on the cliff side to their memory. It can be a dangerous place.
The mountain is best accessed from the military [ R115 ] road across the shoulder of Carrigshouk, over Mullghcleevaun East Top [795m] and along the ridge to the main mountain itself. Its about 10km round trip but its difficult, or at least I found it so.
Its a great place to find pieces of white quartz which are very visible protruding from the dark brown peat. You can see it in the foreground where the lake overflows . I always take some home as its a pretty stone. Within 5 minutes of taking this pic, the cloud came down and the rain started. Visibility went down to 10m so I beat a hasty retreat back to the car which took about one hour.
Its a wild rugged beautiful place and very peaceful. Its highly unlikely that you will meet anyone up there as there not all quite as mad as me!!!!! There are some lovely big granite rocks along the way where you can sit and take in the spectacle and eat your sandwiches which will taste better than anything else you have ever eaten!! I can never figure out why! Lol!
Hope you will like my photo and fave if you do.

London Wetland Centre, Barnes, London, England - Saturday November 22nd 2008.
The highest point in the community is the summit of the 988-meter-high Hohe Peißenberg. Because of its overwhelming panoramic view, it is also called the “Bavarian Rigi” or, much less often, “mons parnanssus”. It is considered the most beautiful panoramic mountain in Bavaria and is a popular destination. The mountain's early nicknames were "mons doctus" because of its scholarship and meteorological research. The majority of the inhabitants live on the south side of the mountain, another smaller part is on the west side (districts: Hetten and Buchschorn), a small proportion of the inhabitants is on the north and east sides.
The main town is on the left bank of the Ammer River. The Ammer flows through the Ammer Gorge below the south side of the village.

Dewdrops form on slackened lips
too far gone for true love's first kiss
shadowed angels in the park
your silhouette clear on the morning grass
I lay a rose across your chest
the symbol of eternal rest
I hope you find the peace in death
you never could in life's sweet breath

I spotted a cutting when out on a work related journey and decided to scramble down to investigate. I found a wee railway!!!!!!!! Info below. :)
Leadhills is the home for Britain's highest narrow gauge adhesion railway, reaching 1,498 feet above sea level. Operated and managed by a team of dedicated enthusiasts, all of whom are volunteers, the railway welcomes visitors every weekend during the summer months.
The journey takes you from the station at Leadhills to the terminus at Glengonnar halt before returning back to the station. The train runs past the disused Glengonnar Mine, where minerals were first excavated in the 1450's. The narrow gauge track has been built on the original track bed of the Caledonian Railway and today runs a variety of historic industrial diesel locomotives.
The original railway closed in the late 1930s shortly after the mines in Wanlockhead had closed.
The railway currently stops at the border of South Lanarkshire and Dumfries and Galloway.

The highest point in Idaho at 12,662’/ 3859 m, Borah Peak (left) is unique in being primarily composed of limestone (most of the gray rock seen here) that was deposited at the bottom of an ocean 420 million years ago. The slightly younger reddish siltstones on the right side form some wonderful banded strata below the summit of Sacajawea Peak.
Also notable is the light colored band at the base of the mountain seen at the bottom of the picture. I initially assumed this was a road or a trail, but it’s a remnant of a magnitude 4.9 earthquake that hit the area in 1983, the largest quake ever recorded in Idaho. The valley side of the fault dropped as much as 9’/ 2.7 m and the mountain side rose by as much as 3’ / 1 m, leaving a notable fault scarp 21 miles/ 34 km long.

The highest elevation of the Silesian Lowlands is sometimes referred to as the “Silesian Mount Olympus”.
Its beauty and mysteriousness attract considerable numbers of tourists.
The massif reaches a height of 718 m above sea level, and in pagan times it was certainly worshipped,
which can be proved by various artefacts discovered there and examined by archaeologists.
Originally, at the site of the present church there a chapel built in the 16th century on the ruins of a castle. In the years 1698-1702,
founded by Abbot Jan Sievert, a brick one-nave chapel with open arcaded porches on both sides was erected. In 1822,
a viewing gallery was added to it. In June of 1834, it was destroyed in fire.
Reconstruction was made in 1851 a few years later.
During the 1960s, the church was fully renovated and rededicated.
