Shot from Cameron Pass .... overlooking the southern most edge of the Bailey Range (on the right). We can see (from left to right) the Hubert Glacier, East Peak, Middle Peak, the Hoh Glacier, West Peak (the true summit - the highest peak dead center) the Blue Glacier, and Mt Mathias.
When we climbed Olympus, we approached via the Blue, but cut thru Crystal Pass to the mighty Hoh (between Middle and West). The first route for years was up the Hoh (instead of the Blue) via the Elwha Snowfinger, over Dodwell-Rixon Pass, into Queets Basin, onto to Humes Glacier and then up the Hoh Glacier.
Mount Bonnell is generally considered the highest point in Austin at 775 feet . The peak is named for George Bonnell, who served as Commissioner of Indian Affairs for the Texas Republic .
Most of the big houses seen along the river have a “boat parking”.
Apparently Actress Sandra Bullock owns a Mansion down there

Mount Fuji stands majestic with its mantle of blindingly white snow over the forest that lines the shores of Lake Ashinoko, near the town of Hakone in Japan.
Hamoaze House, Mount Wise, formerly the residence of the Commander in Chief, Devonport.
The building dates from 1809 and was originally known as Admiralty House. It was renamed Hamoaze House in 1915 when the Commander in Chief moved to nearby Government House (taking the name with him - Government House became Admiralty House).
Between 1890 and 1893 it was one of the homes of Queen Victoria's son, Prince Alfred, Duke of Edinburgh. Prince Alfred's daughter, Princess Marie of Edinburgh, lived here occasionally during that time and later said she had happy memories of living in Devonport.
On 10 January 1893, at Schloss Sigmaringen, she married her third cousin Crown Prince Ferdinand Viktor Albert Meinrad of Hohenzollern.
She became Queen Consort of Romania on 10 October 1914. In 1924 she revisited Plymouth (and Devonport):

Mount Batok (2,440m) is a brown volcano at the north centre of the caldera. Unlike the other nearby peaks it is no longer active and actually has some vegetation growing on it, mostly casuarina (cemara) trees that somehow manage to survive even on volcanic ash.
Smoke billows from the top of Mount Erebus, the southernmost active volcano. The volcano is visible from just outside McMurdo Station in Antarctica.
Edwardian Gardens with a story to tell.
Mount Ephraim Gardens is set in ten glorious acres of stunning Edwardian terraced gardens against a backdrop of the beautiful Kent countryside. These ten acres of gardens, set in the heart of an 800 acre estate have magnificent views over the Swale and Thames Estuaries.
The gardens feature a Japanese rock garden, water garden and lake, arboretum and a spectacular grass maze with a play area for children. They are also home to an extensive collection of spring bulbs, trees and shrubs including Rhododendrons, many types of Camelias and Magnolias.
The elaborate and unusual topiary with a miscellany` of birds, animals and First World War memorabilia in clipped yew truly captures the imagination. The Millennium Rose Garden abundant with scented roses and a traditional herbaceous border complete this stunning area.
Visitors can experience the sight of the Millennium Rose Garden in full bloom and the intoxicating colours and scents in mid summer. The unique 'Miz Maze' creation, planted with ornamental grasses and herbaceous perennials is something to look forward to as the days get shorter with its dancing grasses and dramatic swirls of wild flowers, which are alive with pollinating insects and wildlife best seen as the summer draws to a close.
Mount Ephraim has been home to the Dawes Family for over 300 years and is a lasting monument to a more graceful and leisurely age. Every time of year at Mount Ephraim Gardens brings it own distinctive pleasures.

History[edit]
The gardens are laid out around a Grade II listed house and 800 acres (3,200,000 m2) estate. It was originally built in 1695, then rebuilt in 1878 and then extended 1913 all for the Dawes family.[1]
The gardens were laid out in the early 1900s, but after wartime neglect (when most adult men were enlisted in wartime services) were substantially restored by Mary and Bill Dawes from the early 1950s. Mary Dawes was involved in the day-to-day running of the gardens until died in 2009, at the age of 93. Mount Ephraim has never been a 'professionally' maintained garden, but Mary had always lovingly tended it.
Description[edit]
Mount Ephraim Gardens have a large collection of spring bulbs, trees and shrubs including Rhododendrons, many types of Camellias and Magnolias. It has various areas, including the Millennium Rose Garden.
It also has a large Sweet Chestnut, planted to commemorate the Battle of Waterloo. [2]
The 'Miz-maze' was planted in 2004 on the slopes of a former vineyard. Based on an ancient labyrinth called a Mizmaze (Mary Dawes, who lived at Mount Ephraim for sixty years, was always known to family and friends as 'Miz'). It was created by garden designer Sarah Morgan. Although based on a traditional labyrinth design, the layout incorporates some dead-ends, making it a hybrid between a maze and a labyrinth. The pattern of the grass paths is marked out with combinations of tall-growing ornamental grasses and colourful herbaceous perennial plants.[3]
The rock garden together with the water garden, is based on a series of pools ornamented with a Japanese stone bridge and stone lanterns.
The topiary of the garden has been cut into a various birds and animals, and also First World War memorabilia in clipped yew. The long herbaceous border, has a brick wall giving wind shelter and it provides colour throughout the flowering season.
The arboretum was planted to commemorate the late Mary Dawes' 80th birthday and also the 300 years of the family's ownership of Mount Ephraim. Sited on an artificially raised mound, the area gives far views of Blean woods, Hernhill church and the Miz Maze.
The gardens also include a Ha-ha, which was built in the 18th Century of red brick. It is about 3 feet high, and approximately 100 yards in length. It has a double curve. wikipedia...
Mount Rushmore National Memorial is a sculpture carved into the granite face of Mount Rushmore near Keystone, South Dakota, in the United States. Sculpted by Gutzon Borglum and later by his son Lincoln Borglum, Mount Rushmore features 60-foot (18 m) sculptures of the heads of former United States presidents (in order from left to right) George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Theodore Roosevelt and Abraham Lincoln. The entire memorial covers 1,278.45 acres (5.17 km2) and is 5,725 feet (1,745 m) above sea level.
The U.S. National Park Service took control of the memorial in 1933, while it was still under construction, and manages the memorial to the present day. It attracts approximately two million people annually.
Mount Merbabu or Gunung Merbabu in Indonesia. The name Merbabu could be loosely translated as 'Mountain of Ash' in the Indonesian language. It is a dormant volcano located in Central Java with an elevation of 3,145m.
To the rear of Merbabu is Gunung Merapi which can just be seen from this viewpoint at Gedong Songo. Mount Merapi which literally means 'Fire Mountain' is an active volcano with an elevation of 2,930m.
On the afternoon of 25th October 2010 Mount Merapi erupted lava from its southern and southeastern slopes. People living within a 20 km (12 miles) zone were told to evacuate. Over 300 people lost their lives and houses were destroyed. For now she sleeps again!
7pm : underestimated how long it would take to get to the top - I didn't wait the extra 1 hour at the summit for sunset shots due to the overbearing wedding reception!
The light was still harsh but pleasant enough.
Little waterfall just about a mile past the $100 Dollar Bridge on the way to Mount Arvon.
I didn't notice it, but my sister pointed out the shapes of faces in the rock and moss......

Mount Vernon was the plantation of George Washington, the first President of the United States, and his wife, Martha Washington. The estate is situated on the banks of the Potomac River in Fairfax County, Virginia, near Alexandria, across from Prince George's County, Maryland. The Washington family owned land in the area since the time of Washington's great-grandfather in 1674. Around 1734 they embarked on an expansion of the estate that continued under George Washington, who began leasing the estate in 1754, but did not become its sole owner until 1761.
The mansion was built of wood in a loose Palladian style; the original house was built by George Washington's father Augustine, around 1734. George Washington expanded the house twice, once in the late 1750s and again in the 1770s. It remained Washington's home for the rest of his life. Following his death in 1799, under the ownership of several successive generations of the family, the estate progressively declined as revenues were insufficient to maintain it adequately. In 1858, the house's historical importance was recognized and it was saved from ruin by the Mount Vernon Ladies' Association; this philanthropic organization acquired it together with part of the Washington property estate. Escaping the damage suffered by many plantation houses during the American Civil War, Mount Vernon was restored.
Mount Vernon was designated a National Historic Landmark in 1960 and is also listed on the National Register of Historic Places. It is still owned and maintained in trust by the Mount Vernon Ladies' Association, and is open every day of the year, including Thanksgiving Day, Christmas Day and New Year's Day. Allowing the public to see the estate is not an innovation, but part of an over 200-year-old tradition started by George Washington himself. In 1794 he wrote: "I have no objection to any sober or orderly person's gratifying their curiosity in viewing the buildings, Gardens, &ca. about Mount Vernon.
On the journey down from the top of Mount Tamalpais we pulled over to the side of the round to look around and take some pictures. What a view. I wonder where this path leads ...?

This Carthusian Priory is now in the care of English Heritage.
www.english-heritage.org.uk/visit/places/mount-grace-priory/
English Heritage have reconstructed one of the cells to give an impression how each monk lived.
Mount Grace Priory was founded in 1398 by Richard II’s nephew Thomas de Holland.
It is the best-preserved Carthusian monastery in England. The priory is even used by historians as a ‘type site’, or model, for the study of other medieval Carthusian buildings.
Mount Grace was one of only nine Carthusian monasteries, also known as charterhouses, in medieval England.
Carthusian monks lived solitary lives. They spent most of their time in isolated cells and lived according to a strict timetable.
Mount Grace was one of the last monasteries in Yorkshire to be suppressed during the Reformation.
In the 17th century, part of the priory was remodelled as a mansion.
In the early 20th century, the site was bought by wealthy industrialist Lowthian Bell. Bell enlarged and remodelled the mansion at Mount Grace in the Arts and Crafts style championed by William Morris.

Mount Marcy, New York's highest mountain, covered in three feet of newly fallen snow, from the Village of Lake Placid on Memorial Day weekend.
As I climbed Snow Peak above Burstall Pass this summer, I couldn't keep my eyes off of the mighty and inspiring Mt. Sir Douglas in the distance. It's rocky shoulders were higher than any other mountain around, and it's lofty summit was shrouded in the clouds. It is rather isolated, surrounded by undulating folds of stone and flanked by sheets of permanent ice.
I really want to check it out one day, (actually it'll probably be a multi-day expedition), but I'll have to give it a few years because I have never climbed anything as big or as involved as it.
