Mount Rundle is one of the most recognized mountains in Canada. It overlooks the town of Banff on this, its northern end and the town of Canmore on the southern end. The Bow River meanders through a broad valley in between. Rundle’s ridgeline is about 7-1/2 miles long (12 km) and has seven distinct peaks, the highest of which is 9,675 feet (2,949 m) in elevation.
This vista is from Hoodoos Viewpoint, a stop along the Hoodoos Trail. If you are wondering where all of the hoodoos are they are visible (all four of them) on this side of the river slightly left of center at the foot of the more distant rockslide. Not exactly Bryce Canyon, but hey, Bryce Canyon doesn’t have the very scenic Bow River flowing through it.

Mount Pendelton stands 7,840 feet. This shot was taken from Polychrome Pass I was drawn to this shot because of how the light was falling across the mountain range. The angles of the mountain creating highlights and shadows giving the mountain depth.

Mount Baker glacier-covered 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 St. Helens. About 30 miles (48 km) due east of the city of Bellingham, Whatcom County, Mount Baker is the youngest volcano in the Mount Baker volcanic field. While volcanism has persisted here for some 1.5 million years, the current volcanic cone is likely no more than 140,000 years old, and possibly no older than 80–90,000 years. Older volcanic edifices have mostly eroded away due to glaciation.
After Mount Rainier, Mount Baker has the heaviest glacier cover of the Cascade Range volcanoes; the volume of snow and ice on Mount Baker, 0.43 cu mi (1.79 km3) is greater than that of all the other Cascades volcanoes (except Rainier) combined. It is also one of the snowiest places in the world; in 1999, Mount Baker Ski Area, located 9 mi (14.5 km) to the northeast, set the world record for recorded snowfall in a single season—1,140 in (29 m; 95 ft).
Mount Baker is the third-highest mountain in Washington and the fifth-highest in the Cascade Range, if Little Tahoma Peak, a subpeak of Mount Rainier, and Shastina, a subpeak of Mount Shasta, are not counted. Located in the Mount Baker Wilderness, it is visible from much of Greater Victoria, Nanaimo, and Greater Vancouver in British Columbia, and to the south, from Seattle (and on clear days Tacoma) in Washington.

Our camp at Mount Uncle Gin Distillery was shared with an ostentation of Peacocks. Each afternoon the males put on a real show.
As seen from the top of Table Mountain. Mount Baker is 10,781 feet high and is an active glacier covered stratovolcano. It's most recent eruption of new lava occurred 6,700 years ago. It is expected to erupt again, but eruption is not considered imminent.
Mount Santubong's name may have been derived from the Iban word for coffin, but various Chinese derivations have also been suggested (San approximating the word for mountain in many dialects), as well Bidayuh, in whose lands the names of many hills start with S. Investigators have made ascents of the steep mountain to find places of archaeological interest. Around its foot are signs of Hindu occupation which are hundreds of years old which have been investigated by the Sarawak Museum. It was also the home of the early Sarawak Malays until they were driven up to Kuching in about the 1850s owing to continual attacks from the powerful Saribas Dayaks.[citation needed]
The mountain is made of sandstone, although it has been confused by many with limestone tower karst, or a volcanic plug: smaller versions of both appear not far inland. For a long time it interested those in search of gold but without success. There used to be an old theory that all the gold in the First Division of Sarawak lies in a straight line between Bau and Santubong which has some support in that there is a certain amount of gold in the mountain since fishermen in the past used to depend for their livelihood during the monsoon seasons, when the sea was too rough for fishing, by panning gold in the small mountain streams from which they could expect to gain an average of twenty dollars a month.
In this picture you get to see all the "4 iconic Santubongs" of Sarawak.

The once mighty volcano Mount Crayon, erupting frequently, now seems to be extinct. Or is it only dormant, and its magma chamber holds some future surprises?
Well, this pretty much sums up this image (and also my drawing activities which have been dormant for a long time now): It's only half of what I had originally envisioned for our "Wood" theme. Because (of course) I wanted to depict an active volcano, maybe with a lava stream and some smoke. But... I ran out of time (of course) and I also wasn't sure how to make the smoke appear as if it came right out of the volcanic crater/conduit. Red wax could have served as lava but the smoke... Well, this is definitely something I will keep in mind for our Redux (or maybe Redo) theme at the end of the year, so stay tuned for Mount Crayon's mighty comeback ;)
It kind of broke my heart to break off the crayon's tip/lead but if I wanted to have something that looked like a volcano, I had no choice because none of the numerous, long unused pencils and crayons lying around in boxes around the house already had a broken lead.
I placed a gold-coated paper cake board behind the crayon and illuminated it with yellow light from the right to get the golden half of the background, and I held the small LED flashlight equipped with a small pink semi-transparent lid (of a SodaStream gas cylinder) above it to create the pink highlights (which I hoped would give the impression of some lava or heat but...). To get the entire volcanic crater sharp I did focus bracketing with 55 images that I combined in Helicon Focus (Method A, Radius 7, Smoothing 7). Processed in LR (the basics) and in Colour Efex (Detail Extractor filter applied on the crayon only).
HMM, Everyone! (I will catch up with you a little later.)

View of Mount Sofia (3,637 meters). The waters of the Sofia Glacier melt and fall from hundred-meter sharp rocks, uniting into violent streams. Sofia Waterfalls - a cascade of nine water streams falls from a height of 50 to 90 meters. The Sofia River originates at the Sofia Waterfalls.
Вид на Гору София (3637 метров). Воды Софийского ледника тают и срываются со стометровых острых скал, объединяясь в буйные потоки. Софийские водопады - каскад из девяти водных потоков спадает с высоты от 50 до 90 метров. Здесь берет свое начало река София.
Mount Assiniboine as seen from the sky with Marvel Lake up front and Lake Gloria in the background. This is in British Columbia near the Alberta border in the Canadian Rockies. Photo is taken from a helicopter.
Lying off the Cornish Coast on the south west of England is Saint Michaels Mount. Indeed every once in a while I do like to get out of Scotland to visit other places.
Ripponden
This appears to be an old horse mounting block by the gate to someone’s garden. I cannot even begin to count the times we’ve walked passed this and not noticed it before. If it hadn’t have been for the snowdrops we probably never would have spotted it.
I suppose it will come in handy now if anyone should want to climb over the drystone wall.
Thank you for your visit and your comments, they are greatly appreciated.
Mount Rainier, an active volcano currently at rest between eruptions, is the highest peak in the Cascade Range. Its edifice, capped by snow and 25 glaciers, has been built up by untold eruptions over the past 500,000 years.
Majestic Mount Rainier soars almost 3 miles (14,410 feet) above sea level and looms over the expanding suburbs of Seattle and Tacoma, Washington.
Mount Baker, also known as Koma Kulshan or simply Kulshan, is a 10,781 ft (3,286 m) active glacier-covered andesitic stratovolcano in the Cascade Volcanic Arc and the North Cascades of Washington in the United States.

Mount Conner, also known as Attila and Artilla, is an Australian mountain located in the southwest corner of the Northern Territory,
It is flat-topped horseshoe-shaped and part of the same vast rocky substrate thought to be beneath Uluru and Kata Tjuta. It can easily be confused with Uluru, since it can be seen from the road to Uluru and Kata Tjuta, when approaching from Alice Springs.
Mount Errigal is a 751-metre (2,464 ft) mountain near Gweedore in County Donegal, Ireland. As you can see here, Errigal is well known for the pinkish glow of its quartzite in the setting sun, and was was voted Ireland's Most Iconic Mountain.
Mount Drum
This 12,011-foot volcano rises only about 37 miles due east of Glennallen in a storybook cone with a snowy crown. Although Drum had a dramatic prehistoric eruption history, scientists believe it has not exploded in about 800,000 years. (Alaska.org)
