Mount Kirkjufell, or Church Mountain, on Snæfellsnes Peninsula, has been called the most photographed mountain in all of Iceland. It was also featured the Game of Thrones
There are likely more interpretations of this mountain than of American National Anthem.
I guess I am no worse than the other guy, so here is mine, just after sunset on a cloudy July evening. Taken with ND filter.
Good night Mount Rainier
Seen from Seattle
Mount Rainier (pronounced: /reɪˈnɪər/ - ray-NEAR) is a massive stratovolcano located 54 miles (87 km) southeast of Seattle in the state of Washington, United States. It is the most topographically prominent mountain in the contiguous United States and the Cascade Volcanic Arc, with a summit elevation of 14,411 ft (4,392 m).[1][2] Mt. Rainier is considered one of the most dangerous volcanoes in the world, and it is on the Decade Volcano list.[7] Because of its large amount of glacial ice, Mt. Rainier could potentially produce massive lahars that would threaten the whole Puyallup River valley.[8]

Mount Athos (Greek: Όρος Άθως) is a mountain on the peninsula of the same name in Macedonia, of northern Greece, called in Greek Άγιον Όρος (Agion Oros, transliterated often as Hagion Oros), or in English, Holy Mountain. Politically it is known in Greece as the Autonomous Monastic State of the Holy Mountain. This World Heritage Site is home to 20 Eastern Orthodox monasteries and forms a self-governed monastic state within the sovereignty of the Hellenic Republic. Spiritually, Mount Athos comes under the direct jurisdiction of the Ecumenical Patriarchate of Constantinople.

Mount Fuji (富士山 Fujisan?, IPA: [ɸɯꜜdʑisaɴ] ( listen)), located on Honshu Island, is the highest mountain in Japan at 3,776.24 m (12,389 ft).[1] An active stratovolcano[5][6] that last erupted in 1707–08, Mount Fuji lies about 100 kilometres (60 mi) south-west of Tokyo, and can be seen from there on a clear day. Mount Fuji's exceptionally symmetrical cone, which is snow-capped several months a year, is a well-known symbol of Japan and it is frequently depicted in art and photographs, as well as visited by sightseers and climbers. It is one of Japan's "Three Holy Mountains" (三霊山 Sanreizan?) along with Mount Tate and Mount Haku; it is a Special Place of Scenic Beauty, a Historic Site, and was added to the World Heritage List as a Cultural Site on June 22nd, 2013.[7]
The mountain has been selected as a “cultural” rather than a “natural” heritage site. As per UNESCO, Mount Fuji has “inspired artists and poets and been the object of pilgrimage for centuries”. The 25 locations include the mountain itself, Fujisan Hongū Sengen Taisha and six other Sengen shrines, two lodging houses, Lake Yamanaka, Lake Kawaguchi, the eight Oshino Hakkai hot springs, two lava tree molds, the remains of the Fuji-kō cult in the Hitoana cave, Shiraito Falls, and Miho no Matsubara pine tree grove.
Mount Makalu in the Himalayas is pictured in this Copernicus Sentinel-2B image from 9 December 2017.
At 8485 m high, Makalu is the fifth highest mountain in the world. The iconic pyramid-shaped mountain can be seen just to the right of the centre of the image. It is situated on the border between Nepal and China, about 19 km southeast of Mount Everest, which is in the top left of the image.
Because of the mountain’s knife-edge ridges and its remote position, which leaves it exposed to the elements, it is viewed by many as one of the world’s most difficult mountains to climb.
Nevertheless, Swedish explorer, mountaineer and climate campaigner, Carina Ahlqvist, led a climb this year to raise awareness of climate change and to support ESA’s Climate Change Initiative. During the expedition, scientists collected measurements to help validate data from the Copernicus Sentinel-1 radar mission that are used to study natural hazards such as rock falls and landslides in mountainous regions. The team also surveyed the Barun glacier, which lies at the base of Makalu, to help understand its history and therefore the past climate in this region.
Unfortunately, Carina was struck with snow blindness and had to be evacuated just 300 m from Makalu’s summit. She is now safe and well and the data collected during the expedition are being used to further understand the dynamics of this remote region and how it is being affected by climate change.

Nestled between the Illawarra escarpment, the mountain range to the west of Wollongong, and the coast at Shellharbour in New South Wales, is Marshall Mount, where cattle graze.
Mount Rushmore National Memorial near Keystone, South Dakota towards sunset. I was hoping for some red to give it a red, white and blue sky. Alas, it was not to be but I did use 5 bracketed images to capture this scene in HDR which was processed in Photomatix 4.0's Plug-in for Aperture 3.
Not often I put up more than one photo but I was very excited about this one. When it popped up in Photomatix it looked great with the default settings. Still, I twiddled a bit with some of the sliders until I got it just a bit better. Finished up in Aperture with some highlight and shadow adjustments, added a tad of color vibrancy and a slight amount of sharpening to taste.
I know I promised a Walt Disney World countdown. Never fear, that will start tomorrow and I'll be looking for some help from all of you as I will be facing some photographic challenges this time.

Dans tous les livres traitants de la photographie, il est souvent recommandé de prendre les photos en format paysage (horizontal). Pourquoi ? Parce que nos yeux étant sur une ligne horizontale, notre vision est plus proche d'un rectangle horizontal (ou pour être plus précis : d'un ovale horizontal) que d'un rectangle vertical ou un carré. J'appliquais donc cette règle depuis mes débuts en photographie. Récemment j'ai découvert un grand artiste : Hiroshige. Son travail me fascine.
les images sont en format portrait (verticales). Je me suis demandé pourquoi cette artiste ne faisait plus que des formats verticaux durant la dernière partie de sa vie. Des influences probables sont les rouleaux suspendus chinois (Chinese hanging scroll) et les cartes de poèmes verticales japonaises Tanzaku. Mais je suis persuadé que si Hiroshige a utilisé ce format portrait pendant si longtemps, c'est également parce que ce format permet de donner plus de profondeur à une image. Une image est une projection 2D d'un point de vue en 3D. La recherche de plusieurs plans pour donner de la profondeur est une des bases de la composition. En prenant une photo verticalement, il serait plus aisé d'intégrer des éléments à différents plans.
J'ai beaucoup regardé le travail d'Hiroshige, et notamment les 100 vues d'Edo. Et cela a considérablement remis en question ma façon d'aborder le cadrage, notamment pour la photo de paysage.
C'est ce que j'aime dans la photographie : il n'y a pas de règle, mais que des principes.
Je recommande chaudement de découvrir le travail d'Hiroshige à la Pinacothèque de Paris : www.pinacotheque.com/?id=806 (jusqu'au 17 mars 2013 !!)

I did the Mount Sinai sunrise tour from Dahab. This was most economical and easiest given security risk in the region.
The trek up started after midnight. My trek was greeted with thunders and rain--enough to wet my pants. Thankfully there were plenty of shops with shelters along the trail.
When I got near the top, I was so exhausted that I dosed off for 10-20 mins while sitting inside a shop. Awoken at sunrise, I rushed out to head up to where supposedly Moses talked to God.
Moses got the Ten Commandment tablets there. I got overcast sky, strong wind, and snow flurries. It didn't take long for me to head back down (as seen in the photo).

TED: "It sez on the box that it's Mount Fugee, but I don't get it - the Fugees is a hip hop band, not a mowntin!
Still, it's a pritty pikchur an' not 'alf as difficut as I fawt it'd be. I dun the outside first, then that Fugee (still don't unnerstand, it's not Wyclef Jean, is it?), next I dun the sea an' sky, an' then I dun the leafs. Simples!!
Oh... an' Dad sez it's nuffink to do wiv the Fugees... instead it's a mowntin called FUJI in Japan. I wish they woodunt try an' confuse me, it ain't fair, is it?"

Mount Tamalpais from Terra Linda at sunset. Mount Tamalpais is a peak in Marin County, California, United States, often considered symbolic of Marin County. Much of Mount Tamalpais is protected within public lands such as Mount Tamalpais State Park, the Marin Municipal Water District watershed, and National Park Service land, such as Muir Woods.

Nothing better than just a simply beautiful view of Mount Rainier from Reflection Lake. Mount Rainier, the highest peak in the Cascade Range at 4,392m (14,410 ft), forms a dramatic backdrop to the Puget Sound region. During an eruption 5,600 years ago the once-higher edifice collapsed to form a large crater open to the northeast much like that at Mount St. Helens after 1980. Ensuing eruptions rebuilt the summit, filling the large collapse crater. Large lahars (volcanic mudflows) from eruptions and from collapses of this massive, heavily glaciated andesitic volcano have reached as far as the Puget Sound lowlands.
Since the last ice age, several dozen explosive eruptions spread tephra (ash, pumice) across parts of Washington. The last magmatic eruption was about 1,000 years ago. Extensive hydrothermal alteration of the upper portion of the volcano has contributed to its structural weakness promoting collapse. An active thermal system driven by magma deep under the volcano has melted out a labyrinth of steam caves beneath the summit icecap.
