Mount Whitney, at 14,495 feet, is the highest peak in the contiguous US. We drove out the Whitney Portal Road to the gate which closed the road due to snow. This shot was taken near the closure gate.
Happy Monochrome Monday!
Here I was, looking north at the viewpoint a mile past the peak of Mount Pisgah with an amazing view of Lake Willoughby and into southern Quebec.
We were so close to the border that our phones thought we were in Canada! 😁
This 4.1-mile with an elevation gain of 1,653 ft trail is one of the best hikes in Vermont.
The views on top were beautiful and worth the strenuous hike. The elevation gain in the short distance made this rocky trail a hard one.
If you zoom in you will see two hikers on top of the outcrop (on the right) .
The boat looks like a silverfish to me, and I have a deep fear on silverfish! 😉
Hiking downhill never bothered me, so I thought after all the huffing and puffing going up on this steep trail, coming down would be a breeze. Not so in this one. Besides the steepness, the trail was covered by leaves, compounded by the heat, exposed roots, rocks, and occasional mud really made it slow going.
Yes, it always feels good AFTER a demanding hike, but NOT during! 😊🌞
Thank you for your visit!!! 💕
The Cremyll Ferry is for foot passengers and runs from Cremyll in the far south-east of Cornwall across the River Tamar to Stonehouse in Plymouth.
A ferry is believed to have been operating continuously here since 1204 and Cremyll is often referred to as the historic gateway to South East Cornwall. The current ferry terminus was constructed in the nineteenth century, with the main building using some reclaimed materials from the nearby Mount Edgcumbe House. During World War II the American troops stationed nearby used Cremyll Quay to load their tanks onto landing craft for the D-Day landings.
The 60-year-old MV Edgcumbe Belle (pictured on the right) was originally built for British Rail and has served a number of ferry crossings in the south-west and on the River Thames. It was originally named the MV Humphrey Gilbert.
Mount Ruapehu, is the largest active volcano in New Zealand, it is the highest point on the North Island and has three major peaks.
The North Island's major ski resorts and only glaciers are on its slopes.
Mount Rushmore, located in the Black Hills of South Dakota, is a monumental sculpture featuring the faces of four U.S. presidents: George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Theodore Roosevelt, and Abraham Lincoln. Carved into granite by sculptor Gutzon Borglum between 1927 and 1941, the 18-meter-tall (60 ft.) faces symbolize the nation's founding. I captured the giant sculpture from multiple angles, but this was my favorite.
Slowly pulling out of the siding, Y119 starts north with the still clean and new to them SD70M's up front.

Mount Sefton is a mountain in the Aoraki Range of the Southern Alps of New Zealand, just 12 kilometres south of Aoraki / Mount Cook. To the south lies Mount Brunner, and to the north The Footstool, both more than 400 metres shorter. Wikipedia
Elevation: 3,151 m
Mountain range: Southern Alps
First ascent: 1894 by Edward FitzGerald
On New Years day I was returning "home" from the El Paso airport. I decided to watch the sunrise on the east side of the mountains, and afterwards I was headed down the western side of Transmountain road when I saw this image. Part of what is amazing is that from within the cities of El Paso and Juarez, Mount Cristo Rey appears to tower over the city. However, from this vantage point we can see that it is a small mountain in the valley compared to the others in the area. Behind Christo Rey are the mountains that are part of the Sierra Madres that go south into Mexico.
I am drawn into the multiple layers in this image.
Mount Ngauruhoe is an active stratovolcano and is the youngest vent in the Tongariro volcanic complex on the Central Plateau of the North Island, and first erupted about 2,500 years ago. Although often regarded as a separate mountain, geologically it is a secondary cone of Mount Tongariro. (Wikipedia)

From this perspective, and at this particular moment, Mount Stevenson looks like it has a rim of snow around a bowl. (Dare I suggest a tilted toilet bowl?)
It did not look like this from other angles, nor after a couple of days of snowmelt. Go figure.
Dealing with the atmospheric perspective (blueshift), haze, and exposure challenges took some sliding, so I wish you a Happy Slider Sunday!
Sunset at St Michaels Mount. A different composition to the standard, mainly due to a clash of tide times.
How many times have I hurtled across Rannoch Moor on the A82? And how often have I been bothered to stop and photograph the views across towards the Black Mount? Perhaps it is the nature of long distance travel that has left me behind the wheel eating up the miles.
Thankfully on this occasion back in 2021, greeted with a sunny climate we DID bother to stop. The distant hills seen basking in the autumnal sunshine include Stob Ghabhar and the "other GlenCoe" Aonach Eagach. The foreground is provided by the island studded Lochan Na H-Achiaise.
Jacob’s Ladder refers to a 300-foot section of railroad track that is a 37% grade or an elevation change of 37 feet for every 100 feet travel above the tree line on 6,288-foot Mount Washington in New Hampshire, the highest peak in the Northeast United States. There are three ways to get to the summit of Mount Washington, the famous 8-mile Mount Washington Auto Road, physically scaling/hiking the mountain and lastly the also famous Mount Washington Cog Railway. Jacob’s Ladder is part of the Mount Washington Cog Railway, which at this elevation follows a narrow ridge between two prominent chasms Burt’s Ravine & Ammonoosuc Ravine the train trestle lifts the steam engine and passenger car (which is in front of the engine) over almost 25 feet above the mountains surface. Jacob’s Ladder is the steepest section of the Cog Railway and steepest railway trestle in the world that began its service in 1869 invented by New Hampshire native Sylvester Marsh. It was the first the world’s first mountain-climbing cog railway using a unique cog and rack mechanism to scale the 37% plus grades of Mount Washington and has been in continuous use since 1869.

Mount Ruapehu, or just Ruapehu, is an active stratovolcano at the southern end of the Taupo Volcanic Zone in New Zealand. Ruapehu is one of the world's most active volcanoes and the largest active volcano in New Zealand. Feel free to follow me on FB @ tinyurl.com/qdkha92
I captured this image of this majestic mountain which lies in Washington State, USA right from my home, 100+km away, in Vancouver, Canada,
Mount Baker[...] is one of the snowiest places in the world; in 1999, Mount Baker Ski Area [...] set the world record for recorded snowfall in a single season—1,140 in (2,900 cm).
At 10,781 ft (3,286 m), it is the third-highest mountain in Washington State[...]. It is visible from much of Greater Victoria, Nanaimo, British Columbia, Greater Vancouver, and, to the south, from Seattle (and on clear days Tacoma) in Washington.
Thanks for dropping by.
Mount Rainier (pronounced: /reɪˈnɪər/) is the highest mountain of the Cascade Range of the Pacific Northwest, and the highest mountain in the state of Washington. It is a large active stratovolcano located 54 miles (87 km) southeast of Seattle. 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 could threaten the entire Puyallup River valley

We took a slow walk along the coast path from Perranuthnoe for the view of St Michaels Mount and were rewarded not with a sunset exactly where I had hoped it would be unfortunately ( have to admit I'm hopeless at using the sunset app on my iphone ) but some wonderful lighting all the same and it was very peaceful. We met a fisherman checking conditions for fishing but he left. Maybe he was going later in the evening as he had no fishing gear with him........
The slightly LE Just done in camera - no NDs just slow enough for what I hoped for to capture the scene as seen.
I did slow the water to a stop in a couple of locations but it’s not my preference tbh….
Milky water is a personal choice and if that’s your preference is absolutely fine by me. I had filters with me, they go everywhere I do but I held off for this shot and this body of water appears as seen through my lens was beautiful and just lazy looking which is exactly how it felt to be here..just a gentle wash in and out as the tide was in and there was no wind. Just a beautiful calm evening…….just for us - or so it felt. Exactly what we needed and sort of ‘special’ if you know what I mean….
Being unwell at present comments are turned of but I appreciate all those already given and thank you all so much 😊
Mount St. Michelle, France, is one of my all-time favourite places to visit. One’s stay must be overnight and include a night visit to the Cathedral as well as an early morning sunrise.
