This view shows the chapel.
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 Tomah Botanic Garden is 105 km west of Sydney in the Blue Mountains. Here, on 28 hectares at 1000 meters above sea level, many plants not suited to Sydney's climate can be grown successfully.
Mount Royal hill in Montréal Quebec, Canada.
Great walk to top of hill and watch over downtown Montréal. This statue for Jacques Cartier his journal where he wrote he named it in honour of his patron, King François I of France. He wrote in his journal:
Et au parmy d'icelles champaignes, est scituée et assise ladicte ville de Hochelaga, près et joignant une montaigne ... Nous nommasmes icelle montaigne le mont Royal.
("And among these fields is situated and seated the said town of Hochelaga, near to and adjoining a mountain ... We named this mountain, Mount Royal.")
Hiking parts of Mount Rainier, is definitely not for the faint of heart.
After an overnight stay at Mowich Lake's campground, my girlfriend and I set out this morning to make a six-mile hike from the Mowich Lake campground to Spray Park, a sprawling meadow on Mount Rainier's northwest side.
Unless you are in optimal physical condition and can hike up switchbacks on a 90° slope, I would not recommend this hike. For the majority of the hike, you are on rough, rocky terrain and the last mile and a half of the hike is a 1,300 foot elevation gain up some of the most grueling switchbacks I'd say both of us have ever hiked.
But, even in spite of me being out of breath most of the time going uphill, and both of us having severe leg cramps for the bulk of the hike, these scenic vistas made it all worth that trouble.
Mount Dora is more than antique shopping, leisurely walks, scenic streets and an early to bed mentality. It is also ripe for bar hoping with lots of delicious food to taste to help soak up the spirits along the way.
Offering a magnitude range of wine and spirits is The Palm Tree Grille and Bar. The all glass dining room is spacious and offers impeccable service. A sophisticated yet casual place to dine. The light spills in the front windows and back walls are adorned by hundred of impressive bottles. Around back the bar is a casual relaxing space to share bottles and meet new friends.

Mount Koyasan, Japan. I stayed here for two nights at a Shukubo with the Zen Buddhist Monks. They prepare vegetarian meals (Shojinryori) for breakfast and dinner and let you participate as they chant in the mornings and meditate in the evenings. This was also my first introduction to the public Japanese baths as that is all they had. (This was just good practice for Nozawa Onsen.)
Women were not allowed in the town until 120 years ago. Prior to that the different monastaries were passed down from Head Priest to their best student. Once women were allowed they started getting married and passing them down to their eldest sons who became head priests.
The mother of the head priest joined me for dinner one night. She was quite old. When she was very young she said she went to Tokyo to study English. It was over a 12 hour steam train ride from Osaka back then. (Nowdays it is just around two hours by bullet train and, by the way, Koyasan is not too close to Osaka either.) In Tokyo she enjoyed her English studies and had no intentions of ever returning to Mt Koyasan but with the breakout of WWII and the bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, her parents convinced her she may be a bit safer on the mountain.
There is one main temple, 117 sub-temples and, two monasteries on this tiny mountain top. They are a part of the Shingon (True Word) sect of Buddhism.

Mount Evans is the highest peak in a massif known historically as the Chicago Peaks.] The peak is 38 miles west of Denver, "as the crow flies", and approximately 51 miles by road, via Idaho Springs.
The Mount Evans Scenic Byway consists of Colorado State Highway 103 from Idaho Springs on I-70 about 13 miles to Echo Lake, and Colorado 5 from Echo Lake 15 miles), ending at a parking area and turnaround just below the summit. The latter has long been the highest paved road in North America and is only open in the summer.
Mount Baker as seen from Lookout Rock, below Heliotrope Ridge. I was trying to get some alpenglow here, but alpenglow in the Northwest needs more coaxing than in the Rockies or Alps. It never happend.
Better large. No tricks here. No retouching, no polarizer, no nothing.
As we drove towards downtown Pittsburgh, I got to see the tunnel that is supposed to provide a dramatic view of the city as you come out on the other side... and I was not disappointed by the view!

The house was originally designed during the 1550's. The River Tamar can just about be seen in this shot. The house was hit by a German Incendiary Bomb. All that remained was most of the outer walls of the house. The interior of the house was destroyed. From the late 1950's to 1964 the then Earl of Mount Edgecumbe rebuilt the house. The house was then sold in 1971 and is now jointly operated by Cornwall Council and Plymouth City Council.
The Elizabethan external walls now surround a modern interior. If you were unaware of what had happened to the house you would believe that the interiors dated from the early 19th century.
