Baldy is the highest peak in the Santa Fe area.
A little further away are some higher peaks, nevertheless it is pretty impressive, particularly if it is snow capped and catches the last glow of the sun.
I admit, it's a snapshot, but one I couldn't resist. Another example of my roadside photography

FROM WIKIPEDIA:
Bruneau Dunes is a state park in Idaho, featuring several large sand dunes and two small lakes.
The park is located south of Mountain Home, Idaho, outside of Bruneau. The park is the site of North America's highest single-structured sand dune which is approximately 470 feet (140 m) high. The park is also the site of the Bruneau Dunes Observatory, where visitors can use a telescope for stargazing.

Macro Mondays : The Space In between.
The bell of a snowdrop between the outer leaves.
Taken on a recent visit to Kingston Lacy national trust in Dorset.
I did manage to get close despite the windy conditions as these plants are small and wanted to concentrate on the bell of the flower hence the f3.5 setting used as the focal point as this was filling in the space between the outer leaves. It was a relatively strong windy day so ended up taking several hundred just to get a few dozen that were in focus.
The Brocken, also sometimes referred to as the Blocksberg, is the highest peak of the Harz mountain range and also the highest peak of Northern Germany; it is located near Schierke in the German state of Saxony-Anhalt between the rivers Weser and Elbe. Although its elevation of 1,141 metres (3,743 ft) is below alpine dimensions, its microclimate resembles that of mountains of about 2,000 m (6,600 ft). The peak above the tree line tends to have a snow cover from September to May, and mists and fogs shroud it up to 300 days of the year. The mean annual temperature is only 2.9 °C (37.2 °F). It is the easternmost mountain in northern Germany; travelling east in a straight line, the next prominent elevation would be in the Ural Mountains in Russia.
Today the Brocken is part of the Harz National Park and hosts a historic botanical garden of about 1,600 alpine mountain plants. A narrow gauge steam railway, the Brocken Railway, takes visitors to the railway station at the top on 1,125 m (3,691 ft).

De Brocken is met 1141,1 meter de hoogste berg van Noord-Duitsland in de Harz. De Hochharz, waarvan de Brocken deel uitmaakt, ligt in het Nationaal Park Harz.

I met this gentleman on one of the trips to the villages I made while in India. At this point I was shooting with a really wide angle lens (10-22mm) and I was after a wide angle portrait. When I asked him (well, since I can't speak Hindi, I was just pointing between the camera and him until the message was transmitted rather non-eloquently), he seemed to be quite eager so have his picture taken. But being the wide angle, I had to get really up close and personal, which may have freaked him out a little. But his eyes were sparkling from the heat and the glare of the mid day sun and the definition on his skin was nothing I had seen before. The resultant shot here may appear exaggerates, but it's not, really!

"Antes que el sueño (o el terror) tejiera
mitologías y cosmogonías,
antes que el tiempo se acuñara en días,
el mar, el siempre mar, ya estaba y era
¿Quién es el mar? ¿Quién es aquel violento
y antiguo ser que roe los pilares
de la tierra y es uno y muchos mares
y abismo y resplandor y azar y viento?
Quien lo mira lo ve por vez primera,
siempre. Con el asombro que las cosas
elementales dejan, las hermosas
tardes, la luna, el fuego de una hoguera.
¿Quién es el mar, quién soy? Lo sabré el día
ulterior que sucede a la agonía."
Jorge Luis Borges
(English translation from rationalleycat.blogspot.com/2010/03/el-mar-traducido-por-...)
Before the dream (or the terror) could weave
Mythologies and cosmogonies,
Before the time could mint itself into days,
The sea, the always sea, it had been and it was.
Who is the sea? Who is that violent
Antique being that gnaws at the pillars
Of the earth and is one and many of the seas
And abyss and splendor and chance and wind?
Who looks on it sees it for the first time.
Always. With that wonder which all things
Elementary leave behind, the beauty
In evenings, the moon, flame of the bonfire.
Who is the sea, who am I? I will know it
In the days to come that follow the agony.
Jorge Francisco Isidoro Luis Borges Acevedo (24 August 1899 – 14 June 1986) was an Argentine short-story writer, essayist, poet and translator, and a key figure in Spanish-language and universal literature. His best-known books, Ficciones (Fictions) and El Aleph (The Aleph), published in the 1940s, are compilations of short stories interconnected by common themes, including dreams, labyrinths, philosophers, libraries, mirrors, fictional writers, and mythology.[3] Borges' works have contributed to philosophical literature and the fantasy genre, and have been considered by some critics to mark the beginning of the magic realist movement in 20th century Latin American literature.[4] His late poems converse with such cultural figures as Spinoza, Camões, and Virgil.

The highest point in the group is the summit of Great Trango Tower at 6,286 m (20,608 ft).

Many believe that Monte Toro pinpoints the spiritual centre of Menorca, where there has been a shrine and place of pilgrimage since the 13th century. Legend has it that Monte Toro, or El Toro as it is referred to by the locals, takes its name from a bull (el toro) which led a group of monks to a statue of the Virgin Mary in the rock face. However, some say the peak’s name is more likely to have come from the Moors inhabitation of the island, evolving from the Arabic words ‘al tor’, meaning high place or mountain, while others say the name Toro actually comes from ‘tor’, of pre-roman origin, like the Catalan word ‘turó’ meaning hill. It's also a great place for paragliding as it's the highest point in Menorca.

Well, guess where I've just been with a title like this..lol...:))
Yup...I've just seen the new and improved Star Trek movie...and I can say as a Huuuuuuge Trekkie...this film is well worth seeing, the two hours simply flew by...this new incarnation certainly has legs and I can't wait to see the next instalment.."Make it so" I was almost filling up at the end..lol
Well, here's another shot from my recent trip to Harwich, of a gull flying passed the outlaying lighthouse for your delectation..:))
Believe it or not, I actually tried for this shot, most of the time I just press and get lucky....this time I timed it so that I captured the gull flying passed the lighthouse and to get the gull in focus and the lighthouse out of focus...hark at me pretending I know what I'm doing...lol
Anyhoo...the Weather Oooop North may have been predicted to be bad...but darn Sarf it's blue skies and sunshine..so as tiss the beginning of the Weekend I hope the sun shines for everybody and you all have a Wonderful Weekend...
Mt Rae looms large ahead as one climbs toward the highest paved pass in Canada.
Highwood Pass summit is 7239 feet (2206 m). The pass is closed each year from December to June 15 to protect wildlife.
This impressive scenic highway (40) is also known as the Bighorn Highway and the Kananaskis Trail.

A westbound Southern Pacific train emerges from Tunnel 7, while entering Tunnel 6 on Main 1 near Donner Summit in the Sierra Nevada mountains of California.
Tunnel 6 on Main 1 features the highest point on the original SP main line, crossing Donner Summit at 7,000 feet above sea level. The 1,659 ft. long bore, blasted out of solid granite, required nearly a year to complete, finished by August 1867.
Main 1 was removed from service by SP in 1993, and the ties and rails were repurposed to double track the Sunset Route. Today, the abandoned tunnels and snow sheds of Main 1 serve as a trail for curious hikers and railroad historians.

Sirocco, Bangkok is the World's highest al fresco restaurant & has great views if you're keen on twinkling lights & cityscapes.
This was a tricky shot for me as the beautiful young Thai hostess at the restaurant had confiscated my camera bag & would only let me take my camera - you can't argue with polite, demure Thai loveliness.
When these beautiful oriental creatures bow their heads & put their hands together & gently say "Excuse me Sir" it gets me every time & just makes me want to give them a big protective hug
- which of course would be completely inappropriate - you've got to be so careful these days haven't you?? (might get arrested in 30 years time - think operation Yewtree)
I wanted to capture the whole of the dome & get the meandering curve of the Chao Phraya river as well which meant a panorama without a tripod - not ideal but hey, aren't all problems really just opportunities??
The Panorama Trail through the Brandnertal brought us closer to the highest peak of the valley, the Schesaplana (2965m). This is the view from Austria - the mountain is situated on the border with Switzerland. It had snowed heavily during winter, so there is more snow on the mountain than in most pictures that are found online.
In the foreground (and out of focus) there are Globeflowers. They can grow up to 60cm high.
Highest position #194. Thanks so much, everyone!
This morning there was a little mist in the air, which made for some nice light rays sneaking through the trees. I got this shot on a walk down the driveway.
