Aoraki Mount Cook National Park is home of the highest mountains and the longest glaciers. It is alpine in the purest sense - with skyscraping peaks, glaciers and permanent snow fields, all set under a star-studded sky
Aoraki / Mount Cook is the highest mountain in New Zealand. Its height since 2014 is listed as 3,724 metres, down from 3,764 m before December 1991, due to a rockslide and subsequent erosion.
A panoramic photo from Mount Arabella. I would argue, despite the shorter distance summiting Mount Arabella is harder than summting Mount Ararat. This is due to the Heaven's Gate Trail East (starting from HWY 6) has way more ups and downs. Mount Ararat trail from the Red Deer Trail is mostly flat until you summit Mount Ararat. Heaven's Gate on the East immediately tackles an unnamed mountain, with lots of ups and downs slurping lots of energy,
Mount Washington is part of the Cascades Mountain Range that runs north/south through Washington and Oregon. At a peak elevation of just 7,798 feet, it appears taller than that. (Sisters Oregon area 130.jpg)
Mount Kenya shot from the verandah of Rhino Retreat in the Aberdares National Park. From here it is about 62 km or 38 miles to the summit.
Mount Kenya is the second highest mountain in Africa after Kilimanjaro, at a whopping 5,199 metres above sea level. There is always some snow and ice at its summit. Rhino Retreat itself is just below the 2,500 metre mark.
There is usually cloud on the summit in the afternoons, at least as viewed from the west. This was a much clearer afternoon than average. There is a big rain storm coming in on the left edge of shot, off to the south. Luckily, it missed us.

Well, I'm bored and I kind of have problems with taking any -in my eyes - good new photos so I keep posting some old. As I didn't show you any of my trip to Italy this February I wanted to show you at least my faves. I've been to Rome, Pompeii, Naples and Sorrento! Very impressive!
Let's start with the Mount Vesuvius! It's been a breathtaking view from there and it was just beautiful. :)

Mount Rundle is a mountain in Banff National Park overlooking the towns of Banff and Canmore, Alberta. The mountain was named by John Palliser in 1858 after Reverend Robert Rundle, who had visited the Banff area during the 1840s.
Mount Rundle is formed of outcrops of massive limestones of the Rundle Group, which was named for the mountain and defined here in 1953 by R.J.W. Douglas.

Early morning cloud and mist envelops Mount Mulu in Gunung Mulu National Park, Sarawak, on the island of Borneo. The forest in Borneo (what remains of it) is awesome, teeming with all sorts of living creatures and just how I imagined a jungle would be when I was a kid. To capture this image I rose before sunrise and made a short trek in the dark pre-dawn along a steep narrow track through the tangled trees up to this lookout. Wearing a head-light as I climbed the trail, I found there was a tiny bat tightly circling my head in search of insects attracted by the light, its wingtips even brushing my face in its flight. Truly a magical experience.
While driving along the Icefields Parkway in the Canadian Rockies, I noticed this little tarn reflecting Mount Amery in the morning light. Had to spend a little time photographing the light playing against the mountians and clouds.
The last of the great Yorkshire monasteries, founded in 1398 and the best preserved Carthusian monastery in England. It was also one of the last monasteries in Yorkshire to be suppressed during the Reformation.

Accessibility Description: Mount Baker rises majestically in the distance, its snow-covered slopes glowing with soft pink and lavender hues from the setting sun. Jagged rock faces break through the snowfields, creating deep shadows that emphasize the mountain’s rugged texture. Below the peak, layers of dark blue ridges and forested hills fade toward the foreground, where a band of tall evergreen trees stands in silhouette. The warm evening light casts a serene, almost ethereal atmosphere over the scene.
Mount Nageli ( 2165m) is more or less unfamous. It is located westwards of the famous Churfirsten mountain chain and eastwards of the easily accessible Leistkamm (2101m). Walking alongside the Toggenburger Hohenweg you get to the feet of the mountain at 1820m. You have to walk over a boulder field first, and then along a steep meadow/moss slope. This T3 categorized way get’s the last out of you. It’s really exhausting. The summit has only occasional visitors. The last entry in the guest book of the summit cross was in February 2011 – three months ago.
I have chosen mount Nageli because of all the summits around it has the best 360° view and you can see the Churfirsten tops in one row. If you do such a ascent, you have to stay for a while. I get up in the evenings, stayed during the night to take pictures and get down in the morning.
