Far over the misty mountains cold
To dungeons deep and caverns old
We must away ere break of day
To seek the pale enchanted gold.
J.R. Tolkien
Another one from my trip to the Canadian Rockys. Stunning road trip, hope to go back one day with familly .
“May you live every day of your life”
-- Jonathan Swift
A family photo turned motivational poster after I decided to pair it with the quote from Jonathan Swift above. The original title, “Reefs on Top”, was discarded as too obscure, confusing and self-centered. But even though it does not matter who are the two tiny figures on the edge of almost 1,500m (4,500ft) cliff for anybody except for us, this shot and day were special. It took us good 4 hours to hike and scramble from the parking lot at 300m above the sea/fjord level to this point. There was mud, loose and slippery rocks and old snow on the way up, so we were happy we could make it. But that did not mean we “conquered” the mountain, no. We were humbled by being enveloped in the cloud which only for fleeting moments allowed us to catch a glimpse of what would have been a spectacular view ahead and below. In the end, we did not regret it. It was an experience we will cherish for many years to come – and it was a day we lived fully.

The many moods of Mt. Baker never cease to amaze me. In the early morning, it always gives me a sense of wonder with its awesome beauty.

One of the innumerable great views in the Tetons. But to get to this spot you have to slap on your boots and do some hiking.
At the trail to the top of the Main Peak of Joy mountains. How I wish I could go there soon. Still semi lockdown here though there are just 29 new local cases, 4 deaths today.
Have a nice weekend my friends. :-)
A lone Kea, taken at Cascade Saddle , Mt Aspiring National Park , New Zealand. This one is wild but banded to help analyse their movements . Immediately behind the Kea is a sheer 500m drop
A view of White Wing Mountain (altitude 10009 ft / 3051 m) from the top of Obsidian Dome. The dead tree trunks scattered at the top of the mountain helped date the volcanic eruption that created Obsidian Dome to 1350 CE.
Hope you have a good day whenever you see this. Thanks, as always, for stopping by and for all of your kind comments -- I appreciate them all.

I haven't been here (Joy Mountains) since our semi lockdown from the middle of May. I'm glad I was here again. Faced this beauty, I thank God and pray.
Mount Hehuan is a 3,416-metre-high (11,207 ft) mountain in Central Taiwan. The peak lies on the borders of Nantou and Hualien counties and is located within Taroko National Park. Hehuanshan is a popular destination in central Taiwan. The 3,421-metre east peak and 3,422-metre north peak of Hehuanshan are both higher than the main peak.
Mount Hehuan is part of the Central Mountain Range.
I liked the setting of this group of buildings on the edge of Austnesfiord just north of Svolvar in the Lofoten Islands. I think the shot was taken on the day of the summer Solstice
