The rain stopped and the cloud lifted as we walked down the track to the bridge looking onto the Mount and Lake Cavell, there was a break in the cloud and sun shone down on the emerald waters of the lake. Mt Edith Cavell is named after the the celebrated British Nurse who indiscriminately saved the lives of both British and German soldiers during the 1st World War.
Mount Rundle 2929m (9675ft) overlooks the town of Banff. A break in the clouds bathes the western slopes in warmth
Taken in late fall, 2020. Fed up with being trapped in our houses in the suburbs during Covid, a friend and I took up hiking and spent the year exploring the Pacific Northwest where we could be safely distanced. On this particular day the sunlight and the fall foliage came together to paint a beautiful contrast with the snowy landscape
Mount Kangchenjunga or Khangchendzonga with an elevation of 8,586 meter (28,169 feet) is the third highest mountain of the world. It is called Five Treasures of Snow after its five high peaks.The Tibetan words are: Kang (Snow) chen (Big) dzö (Treasury) nga (Five).
The main peak of Khangchendzonga is the second highest mountain in Nepal after Mount Everest. Three of the five peaks – Main, Central and South – are on the border between North Sikkim and Nepal.Two peaks are in the Taplejung District, Nepal.
Until 1852, Khangchendzonga was assumed to be the highest mountain in the world, but calculations based on various readings and measurements made by the Great Trigonometrical Survey of India in 1849 came to the conclusion that Mount Everest, known as Peak XV at the time, was the highest. Allowing for further verification of all calculations, it was officially announced in 1856 that Khangchendzonga is the third highest mountain.
It is widely regarded as the guardian deity of Sikkim.
Oregon's highest peak at 11,249 ft. Because of it's close proximity to Oregon's largest city, Portland, Mount Hood and its surrounding area is heavily used year round. (DSC_7044.jpg)
The sunsets on Mount Abu are infamous, hoards of people go to Sunset Point armed with cameras.
My grandmother was telling me that when the sun sets here it looks like the Earth. I watched the setting sun carefully and noticed there were shapes that formed on the sun like land shapes on our Earth. The sun doesn't set like it does in the UK- colouring the sky orange and slowly getting dark. The sun literally seems to drop out of the sky, and it seemed to get dark pretty quick.
Mount Edgecumbe was named by Captain James Cook in October 1769 after Sergeant Edgecombe, a sergeant of marines on the Endeavour. The mountain rises to 820m above sea level and every year a 'King of the Mountain' race is run with proceeds being donated to charity. The mountain's official name was changed back to Putauaki in 1925.

The short straight after McPhillamy Park beginning the the descent from the top of the circuit. The lights of Bathurst in the left background. The car trails were made by a police car that was doing laps (at 60 km/hr) making sure that cars don't speed as this street track is also a road!
Mount Panorama Circuit is a motor racing track located in Bathurst, New South Wales, Australia. It is situated on a hill with the dual official names of Mount Panorama and Wahluu and is best known as the home of the Bathurst 1000 motor race held each October, and the Bathurst 12 Hour event held each February. The 6.2 km long track is technically a street circuit, and is a public road, with normal speed restrictions, when no racing events are being run, and there are many residences which can only be accessed from the circuit.
Mount Hood, called Wy'east by the Multnomah tribe, is a potentially active stratovolcano in the Cascade Volcanic Arc of northern Oregon. Mount Hood is considered the Oregon volcano most likely to erupt, though based on its history, an explosive eruption is unlikely. Still, the odds of an eruption in the next 30 years are estimated at between 3 and 7 percent, so the U.S. Geological Survey characterizes it as "potentially active", but the mountain is informally considered dormant.
Mount Grace Priory lies in the parish of East Harlsey, North Yorkshire. It is the best preserved of the nine medieval Carthusian houses in England. It was founded in 1398 by Thomas Holland, 1st Duke of Surrey, the son of King Richard II's half-brother Thomas, Earl of Kent. It was the last monastery established in Yorkshire, and one of the few founded anywhere in Britain in the period between the Black Death (1349–50) and the Reformation. It was a fairly small establishment, with space for a prior and twenty-three monks.
Mount Grace Priory consisted of a church and two cloisters. The Great Cloister, to the north of the church, had seventeen cells for monks whilst the southern Lesser Cloister had six cells for the lay brothers. (Wikipedia)
Today you can visit a reconstructed monk's cell and enjoy the beautiful gardens as well as the tranquility of the ruins.
Sunrise near Paradise Inn, Mount Rainier National Park. The flower bloom was quite mesmerizing even in July.

A shot of Mount Baker (in Washington) from Barnston Island, Surrey, BC. The sun had just set, but there was still enough colour to paint the mountain snowcap pink.
Mount Baker, also known as Koma Kulshan or simply Kulshan, is an active glaciated andesitic stratovolcano in the Cascade Volcanic Arc and the North Cascades of Washington in the United States. Mount Baker has the second-most thermally active crater in the Cascade Range after Mount Saint Helens. This view was taken from Boundary Bay in Richmond, BC, Canada near a small airport, just outside Vancouver. If Baker ever erupts, Vancouver will likely be covered in ash. Baker is about 110 km from Vancouver. This photo was taken with a 300 mm lens on my new Nikon Z7 and processed with Nik Silver Efex Pro 2 software in Photoshop CC 2018 to enhance the clarity and contrast of the mountain which was hazy on a beautiful autumn day here.
Elevation: 3,286 m
Last eruption: 1880
Next eruption: hopefully not in my lifetime.

Mount Shasta (Karuk: Úytaahkoo or "White Mountain") is a potentially active volcano at the southern end of the Cascade Range in Siskiyou County, California.
Mount Chapin (elevation 12,454 ft.) is part of the trilogy which makes up the southern part of the Mummy Range which extends north away from and to the right of the vantage point shown here. It is the smallest of the three peaks which also include Mount Chiquita (13,069 ft.) and Ypsilon Mountain, (13,514 ft.). Mt. Chapin is similar to the other peaks of the Mummy Range in that it has a steep south face with a gradually sloped northwestern side. The southern face, which is most visible here, is comprised of sheer cliffs and ledges which drop nearly 2,500 ft. to the Fall River below.
Toll Memorial Trail, Trail Ridge Road, Rocky Mountain National Park, Colorado, USA. Elevation: 12,136 ft. September 10, 2015.
Mount Iliamna is a stratovolcano and part of the Aleutian Range of mountains. It is part of the Chigmit Mountain subrange in Lake Clark National Park and Preserve. The 10,016 foot volcano still emits sulfurous gases from fumaroles near the peak but hasn't erupted since an unconfirmed event in 1953. It is still considered a high threat - ranking as the 20th most hazardous volcano in the US.
The volcano lies across the Cook Inlet from the Kenai Peninsula and can be easily viewed from several overlooks off the Sterling Highway.
