Another small section of Idaho's Sawtooths reflected in Little Redfish Lake.
Shoulda put on a wider lens...
Barely got all this beauty in.
Heading out soon for my last major photo safari of the year. Hope to fill up lots of memory cards. Easy to do in beautiful Canada.
Have a wonderful couple of weeks. I know I will.
Thanks for taking a look!
Probably one of the most beautiful mountain reflections in the Dolomites, but it is just a puddle of water that the cattle use as a drinking place.
Kirkjufell (Icelandic: Church mountain) is a 463m[1] high mountain on the north coast of Iceland's Snæfellsnes peninsula, near the town of Grundarfjörður. It is the most photographed mountain in Iceland along with the falls. There is small trail that leads down to the bottom of the falls. The view from here is really amazing, specifically during sunset.

Mountain Hare - Lepus Timidus
The mountain hare (Lepus timidus), also known as blue hare, tundra hare, variable hare, white hare, snow hare, alpine hare, and Irish hare, is a Palearctic hare that is largely adapted to polar and mountainous habitats.
In the European Alps the mountain hare lives at elevations from 700 to 3800 m, depending on biographic region and season.The development of alpine winter tourism has increased rapidly since the last few decades of the 20th century, resulting in expansion of ski resorts, growing visitor numbers, and a huge increase in all forms of snow sport activities. A 2013 study looking at stress events and the response of mountain hares to disturbance concluded that those hares living in areas of high winter recreational activities showed changes in physiology and behaviour that demanded additional energy input at a time when access to food resources is restricted by snow. It recommended ensuring that forests inhabited by mountain hares were kept free of tourist development, and that new skiing areas should be avoided in mountain hare habitat, and that existing sites should not be expanded.
In August 2016, the Scottish animal welfare charity OneKind launched a campaign on behalf of the mountain hare, as a way of raising awareness of mountain hare culls taking place across the country and in garnering public support for the issue. Mountain hares are routinely shot in the Scottish Highlands both as part of paid hunting "tours" and by gamekeepers managing red grouse populations (who believe that mountain hares can be vectors of diseases which affect the birds). Much of this activity is secretive but investigations have revealed that tens of thousands of hares are being culled every year. The campaign, which urges people to proclaim that "We Care For The Mountain Hare", will culminate with the charity urging the Scottish government to legislate against commercial hunting and culling of the iconic Scottish species. The campaign has revealed widespread public support for a ban on hare hunting in Scotland.
Unlike the brown hare, which is thought to have been introduced by the Celts during the Iron Age, the mountain hare is native to Britain. However, it is only native to the Scottish Highlands and was translocated elsewhere.
For today's MM textures I have selected a bag that once contained Blue Mountain coffee from Jamaica. I think I bought it locally though and the coffee did not taste as delicious as when you drink the original Blue Mountain coffee in the hills of Jamaica and listen to Bob Marley.
I added a tiny spoon which looks like it's made from bamboo and ground coffee. What you see here is just under 3"
HMM!
A Mountain Quail makes a quiet appearance as he traveled up the embankment. I used my car with a blind at sunset. The background was pretty distant and the light was dipping low behind the hill behind me, but there was a nice glow that remained. The challenge was not clipping that spike on his head.

Север стал своего рода наркотиком для меня, если долго туда не выбираюсь, то меня начинает подламывать. Поэтому когда выдались долгие выходные, особо не раздумывал, собрал вещи и уехал в горы. Хоть я и понимал, что снимать там особенно нечего зимой, меня это не останавливало. Выходные я провел замечательно, катался на снегоходе, отсыпался и иногда выходил поснимать рассвет. Вот результат одной из таких вылазок.
The North has become a kind of drug for me, if I don’t go there for a long time, then it starts to break me down. Therefore, when it was a long weekend, I didn’t think much, packed my things and went to the mountains. Although I understood that there was nothing special to shoot there in winter, this did not stop me. I had a wonderful weekend, riding a snowmobile, sleeping and sometimes going out to shoot the sunrise. Here is the result of one of these outings.

After a long and arduous hike in through deep snow we had arrived at Seamans Hut and went about setting up our campsite and enjoying a truly stunning afternoon. There hadn’t been a breath of wind and with the temperature only just below zero we were very comfortable.
Once the sun set we fired up our small gas cookers and heated up some dinner. When you’re in the mountains and bereft of common comforts such as light and TV time seems to really slow down and the evening was still young.
There are countless reasons why I love to escape city life. Amongst the many however, there is one which never ceases to impress me – that is, the colossal night sky. Away from the city lights the magnificence of the universe becomes undeniably amazing.
With the last light of the day finally gone the show had begun, above us was one huge sky and in front of me was one beautiful alpine hut that was so coincidently positioned perfectly below a quickly emerging milky way.
The temperature was dropping fast but it felt like I had all the time in the world.
We climbed the mountains hoping to capture a beautiful sunrise by the lake. It started raining instead of dawn. It's good that I decided not to wait until the weather cleared up, it rained until the next day. This is a panorama of 9 vertical frames
Mountain views as scenic as this are rare. I think some how the portrait orientation and framing works well in this photo by Cagatay Orhan.
From this view the depth of the image is emphasised however, some part of me wants to see another vertical photo to the right of the picture. Heck why not take one on the left of this frame too and stictch all 3 frames together, that'd be swell!
This one was remixed by attempting to cut some of the original haze in the image, tweaked some of the local adjustments and completed a colour enhancement. Its facinating that from a distance mountains have this bluish tinge to them, even though when you're standing on them you don't see this blue.

Thanks for following and for your support!
During a hike to the Fanes-Alpe in the Sennes-Fanes-Braies nature park (Dolomites), the fog allowed brief glimpses of the mountains opposite.

Wild mountain pansies, Viola lutea, growing near the Killhope Mining Museum, near Cowshill, county Durham, England. The pansies are tolerant of high levels of lead in the soil.
Thanks for visiting. Thanks especially to those who take the time to comment or fave.

Captivating clouds at sunset rising above Mt. Heyburn reflected in Little Redfish Lake. Always seem to have great skies when here. The high altitude helps.
I'll be busy with a project for a bit. Have a great week.
Thanks for taking a look. Always appreciated!

Wild horses in the morning
They do belong to somebody, but are left to roam the mountains by themselves. Taken last year, I must return to this place.
Planned to take sunrise at Moraine lake, but the parking lot was full and blocked around 6am, still very dark outside… headed to Lake Louise, luckily got the parking spot. Almost zero degree, waited for the sun to rise on top of the mountains and reflected on the lake… The sky was burning on top of Lake Louise, a hamlet in the Canadian Rockies, known for its turquoise, glacier-fed lake ringed by high peaks and overlooked by a stately chateau. So closed to the famous top…
