Mount Elbrus (Ossetian|Эльбру́с|El'brus|ɪlʲˈbrus}}; Russian: Эльбру́с, tr. El'brus; IPA: [ɪlʲˈbrus]; Karachay-Balkar: Минги тау, Miñi taw, IPA: [miŋŋi taw] ( listen)) is a dormant volcano located in the western Caucasus mountain range, in Kabardino-Balkaria and Karachay–Cherkessia, Russia, near the border of Georgia. Mt. Elbrus's peak is the highest in the Caucasus, in Russia. While there are differing authorities on how the Caucasus are distributed between Europe and Asia, many sources agree that Elbrus is also the highest mountain in all of Europe,[5] or the highest in western Asia, narrowly exceeding another volcano, Mt. Damavand in the Alborz range in Iran. Mt. Elbrus (west summit) stands at 5,642 metres (18,510 ft); the east summit is slightly lower at 5,621 metres (18,442 ft).

NASA acquired June 1, 2010
A small volcanic plume rose above remote Mount Cleveland on June 1, 2010. The snow-covered upper slopes of the Aleutian volcano were also marked by dark debris flow deposits (descending to the east) and ash fall to the south of the summit. The Alaska Volcano Observatory reported an ash emission above Mount Cleveland no higher than 16,000 feet (4,900 meters) on May 30th. Mount Cleveland is frequently restless, and the current activity is not unusual.
This false-color image was acquired by the Advanced Spaceborne Thermal Emission and Reflection Radiometer (ASTER) aboard NASA’s Terra satellite. Snow is white, clouds are pink, vegetation is red, and water is almost black. Ash from Cleveland could threaten flights between Asia and North America. Satellites are the best way to monitor the volcano, which is about 900 miles (1,500 kilometers) from Anchorage, and about 2,300 miles (3,700 km) from Honolulu.

Mount Bromo panorama high resolution photo in sunrise with volcanic smoke motion blur from crater, dramatic clouds and Semeru volcano peak background, taken in 8 September 2018. RAW single shot on tripod
Mount Bromo (Indonesian: Gunung Bromo), is an active volcano and part of the Tengger massif, in East Java, Indonesia. At 2,329 metres (7,641 ft) it is not the highest peak of the massif, but is the most well known. The massif area is one of the most visited tourist attractions in East Java, Indonesia. The volcano belongs to the Bromo Tengger Semeru National Park. The name of Bromo derived from Javanese pronunciation of Brahma, the Hindu creator god.
Mount Bromo sits in the middle of a vast plain called the "Sea of Sand" (Javanese: Segara Wedi or Indonesian: Lautan Pasir), a protected nature reserve since 1919. The typical way to visit Mount Bromo is from the nearby mountain village of Cemoro Lawang. From there it is possible to walk to the volcano in about 45 minutes, but it is also possible to take an organised jeep tour, which includes a stop at the viewpoint on Mount Penanjakan (2,770 m or 9,088 ft) (Indonesian: Gunung Penanjakan). The best views from Mount Bromo to the Sand Sea below and the surrounding volcanoes are at sunrise. The viewpoint on Mount Penanjakan can also be reached on foot in about two hours. From inside the caldera, sulfur is collected by workers.

Cloud banners blow from the summit pf snow-dusted Mount Humpreys in autumn dawn light
This photograph is from a spectacular landscape in the easter Sierra above the town of Bishop, in what is sometimes called Buttermilk Country, or just plain "the Buttermilks." Here the land rises gradually and steadily from the Owens Valley lowlands near the town, first gradually, then building into the eroded and rounded rocky hills like those catching the sun in the center of this photograph, and finally culminating in the alpine peaks of the Sierra Nevada Crest. The tallest peak in the photograph is Mount Humphreys.
As is typical at this autumn time of year, I was in the eastern Sierra to photograph fall color — which mostly means aspen trees. My recollection is that we started up toward the mountains from Bishop very early in the morning, before sunrise, and then decided that the dawn light on the eastern face of the Sierra offered more possibilities than yet more aspen photographs — besides, the aspens would still be there after this sunrise light was gone! We left the main road and followed gravel tracks that I know from previous visits and arrived at this spot with its view of foreground hills and crest peaks just as the dawn light show began.

Mount Popa is inactive volcano and an oasis in the desert of central Myanmar(Burma).The mountain's peak is 1518 meters (4,981 feet) above sea level. It can be seen from 40 miles away .
Mount Formidable stands big, mean and proud. Below the summit is the broken mid-summer skeleton of the Formidable Glacier. Crawling on the ridge top in the foreground is Jeff Rich high on Magic Mountain. To the right, covered in light, are some of the peaks and adventures that have filled many a lifetime.
A question: do you like the mountain pronounced For-MID-able or Form-idable?
North Cascades, Washington, 2016
I took this photo of Mount Evans from Chicago Lake in the autumn of 1954 when Mary and I were on our honeymoon to Colorado. We married while I was home on furlough while en route to Korea in 1952. At a height of 14,264 feet, Mount Evans is among the highest mountain peaks in the United States, and has the highest paved road in the country.
The Mount Rushmore National Memorial is a sculpture carved into the granite face of Mount Rushmore near Keystone, South Dakota, in the United States.

Mount Jerome Dublin, a winter evening shot on 35mm film with a Nikon FM2 and 35mm lens. Its a long time since i shot on 35mm, on this occasion I used HP5 plus developed in Rodinal.
I have finally decided to post these photos. I made them for a proposal for--well obviously for this set. Unfortunately, I was not aware that Star Trek is a restricted IP and that Lego would not allow the proposal to go public because of course, what would be the point?
There's no point in keeping the photos and description to myself though, especially with the work that went into them. Description below:
'Space: the final frontier. These are the voyages of the Lego starship Enterprise. Its continuing mission: to explore strange new worlds, to seek out new life and new civilizations, to boldly go where no minifigure has gone before.'
Thrown through a spatial anomaly to a universe of modular building bricks, the crew of Starfleet's famous flagship find themselves sitting on your desk! With around 1800 parts, this UCS scaled Enterprise-D from Star Trek: The Next Generation is lovingly detailed and mounts on an elegant display stand complete with dedication plaque. But the Enterprise-D is hardly the first ship to bear her name. Display the original Constitution class Enterprise from the 1960s TV classic alongside and at the same scale.
And of course, it isn't a Galaxy class starship without a separating saucer. With the secondary display stand--mounted with a Starfleet badge and the nanofigures of the main bridge crews of both the original series and The Next Generation--you can show off both the saucer and the stardrive sections at once! The nanofigures aren't just for display; act out some of your favorite scenes or make up your own story when you remove the saucer plates to access the main bridge.
Features:
-Prepare for saucer separation: When facing a highly dangerous threat, Captain Picard decides to split the saucer off into its own ship. With the secondary stand, you can mount the saucer and display it right alongside the stardrive section. Just swap the saucer for the battle bridge attachment and you suddenly have two ships!
-Control the action yourself: Remove the panel on the saucer section and access the main bridge. With the detailed nanofigures, the bridge crew is ready for anything. Place Data at Ops, Worf at Tactical, and Picard in his Captain's chair and 'Engage' at warp 6!
-Time for a temporal anomaly: Display the Constitution class Enterprise from the original series alongside its successor. Built to the same scale and detailed with a deflector array, impulse engines, and shuttle bay doors; you can command this highly swooshable starship on its five year mission of exploration and adventure.
-Assemble the senior staff: The nanofigures inlcude The Next Generation's Captain Picard, Commander Riker, Lt. Commander La Forge, Lt. Commander Data, Lieutenant Worf, Dr. Crusher, Counselor Troi, and the original series' Captain Kirk, Mr. Spock, Dr. "Bones" McCoy, Chief Engineer Scotty, Lieutenant Uhura, Lieutenant Sulu, and Ensign Chekov.
Built for play or display, these two starships are sure to be popular with all ages. Whether you are a young fan of great Lego sets, or a nostalgic collector of Star Trek memorabilia, please support this project and help us to bring the knowledge of the galaxy to everyone.
'Make it so!'

Mount Fuji on a clear day,
Mount Fuji (Fujisan) is with 3776 meters Japan's highest mountain. It is not surprising that the nearly perfectly shaped volcano has been worshipped as a sacred mountain and experienced big popularity among artists and common people.
Mount Fuji is a dormant volcano, which most recently erupted in 1708. It stands on the border between Yamanashi and Shizuoka Prefectures and can be seen from Tokyo and Yokohama on clear days

Sun Behind the clouds made for some more interesting lighting when I shot this photo. No hdr, just heavy editing in Photoshop to reduce the hard backlit shadows and make sure the sky was not too washed out. Hopefully the processing does not appear too artificial.

Mount Tamalpais, known locally as Mount Tam, is the highest peak in the Marin Hills in California. Due to its height and proximity to the ocean and bay, the mountain contains many microclimates - ranging from cool and foggy in lower ocean-facing valleys, to hot and dry on the manzanita slopes, cool and breezy at the summit, and shady at the Douglas-fir forested slopes.
Southwest of Mount Popa is Taung Kalat (pedestal hill), a sheer-sided volcanic plug, which rises 657 metres ASL. A Buddhist monastery is located at the summit of Taung Kalat. There are 777 steps to the summit. The Taung Kalat pedestal hill is sometimes itself called Mount Popa and given that Mount Popa is the name of the actual volcano that caused the creation of the volcanic plug, to avoid confusion, the volcano is generally called Taung Ma-gyi (mother hill).
