Mount Drum is a 12,011-foot tall stratovolcano in Wrangell-St. Elias National Park, the USA's largest national park. It is by no means the tallest peak in the Wrangell Mountains, but it stands out (weather permitting) as you drive along the Richardson Highway between Fairbanks and Valdez, Alaska.

This is the highest mountain in British Columbia. The locals say you can only see the peak, without clouds, about fifteen days a year. This wasn't one of those days. I will have limited internet access for the next six weeks, so I probably won't be able to respond to comments as I would like to.
From the sign: "Mount Lowe Summit, elevation 5603 feet above the sea. This summit, previously known as Oak Mountain, was named Mount Lowe in the fall of 1892. At the time railway construction was going on in Rubio Canyon and Echo Mtn. Professor Lowe had planned to build a railway to the summit and build a large hotel here. A suspended cable car would then reach to San Gabriel Peak to the north. There he planned to build an observatory and institute to study nature and the heavens. In 1895 with his money supply depleted, Professor Lowe had to end railroad construction at the Alpine Tavern, 1,100 feet below. From the Alpine Tavern guests could walk or ride (horseback) to the summit 2 and a half miles away. The flagpole, hitching post, bench, and locating tubes were left by the railroad when it closed in 1937."

- From wiki: Mount Etna is one of the most active volcanoes in the world and is in an almost constant state of activity. The fertile volcanic soils support extensive agriculture, with vineyards and orchards spread across the lower slopes of the mountain and the broad Plain of Catania to the south. Due to its history of recent activity and nearby population, Mount Etna has been designated a Decade Volcano by the United Nations. In June 2013, it was added to the list of UNESCO World Heritage Sites.
Mount Vesuvius is a stratovolcano in the Gulf of Naples, Italy, about 9 km (5.6 mi) east of Naples and a short distance from the shore. It is one of several volcanoes which form the Campanian volcanic arc. Vesuvius consists of a large cone partially encircled by the steep rim of a summit caldera caused by the collapse of an earlier and originally much higher structure.
Mount Vesuvius is one of the most famous volcanoes in the world.
Towering thousands of feet over the Gulf of Naples, the mountain erupted with great force in 79AD, engulfing the surrounding area and burying the towns of Pompeii and Herculaneum.
The eruption almost halved the height of the mountain and left a characteristic conical shape, which dominates the skyline for miles around.
The volcano has erupted many times since, though never on the same scale as that 79AD eruption and the next eruption is now overdue.
You can reach the top by driving most of the way and then walking the final mile or so to gaze into the cone from the edge.
The photos in this album are from my third and most extensive visit to China. China's natural wonders, delicious food, and rich cultural heritage make it a fascinating place to explore.
The rise of translation apps, booking services, and other tools also make it vastly more easy and less daunting to explore than - perhaps - it was a dozen years or so ago for those who don't speak Chinese. For many, I think they've built up visiting China into something far more difficult than it is.
The bigger challenge is actually navigating the crowds. Especially in the country's spectacular national parks. Which is why I've aimed my trips for the depths of off season. Many of these parks are designed to handle tens of thousands of visitors per day - on Mount Huangshan, I heard there were around 1,300 of us in the park compared to 35,000 at peak season. The result was a near complete absence of western tourists, and the opportunity to explore the parks without crowds and with very few other people.
The trip involved around two weeks in China with stops in Shanghai, Huangshan National Park, Xiapu, Tianmen Mountain, and Zhangjiajie National Forest Park.

Mount Stewart is an 18th-century house and garden in County Down, Northern Ireland, owned by the National Trust. Situated on the east shore of Strangford Lough, a few miles outside the town of Newtownards and near Greyabbey, it was the Irish seat of the Vane-Tempest-Stewart family, Marquesses of Londonderry. The house and its contents reflect the history of the Vane-Tempest-Stewart family, who played a leading role in British and Irish social and political life.
At the moment both the house and garden are undergoing extensive renovations - but it is still well worth going to see.
A late September 2018 visit to Packwood House, another National Trust property. Been meaning to visit this one myself for a while now!
A nice cool Sunday afternoon to visit Packwood.
Packwood House is a timber-framed Tudor manor house near Lapworth, Warwickshire. Owned by the National Trust since 1941, the house is a Grade I listed building. It has a wealth of tapestries and fine furniture, and is known for the garden of yews.
The house began as a modest timber-framed farmhouse constructed for John Fetherston between 1556 and 1560. The last member of the Fetherston family died in 1876. In 1904 the house was purchased by Birmingham industrialist Alfred Ash. It was inherited by Graham Baron Ash (Baron in this case being a name not a title) in 1925, who spent the following two decades creating a house of Tudor character. He purchased an extensive collection of 16th- and 17th-century furniture, some obtained from nearby Baddesley Clinton. The great barn of the farm was converted into a Tudor-style hall with sprung floor for dancing, and was connected to the main house by the addition of a Long Gallery in 1931.
In 1941, Ash donated the house and gardens to the National Trust in memory of his parents but continued to live in the house until 1947 when he moved to Wingfield Castle.

The sky was very overcast and I didn't really like the way this came out. I'll go back and re-shoot this and replace it next time we have a blue clear sky.

This is at the base of the beautiful Mount Warning in far northern NSW. On my birthday my dad took me for a drive up, as we didnt quite make it the night before. I was struggling a bit in the rain to get composition. This is infact an 8 second exposure. I loved the reflections and stillness and colours.. even though the water was moving through quite steadily.
