The light was so intense the other morning in Mt. Vernon, Washington. We were hunting for daffs but fell in love with this flooded field that held the light's reflection.
Mt Kosciuszko is the highest peak of the Main range in the snowy mountains and as such the highest mountain in Australia. As can be seen here its 2228 meters is far from a towering peak and the top can be reached by hiking.
In summer the alpine wild-flowers are flowering on the hillsides.

Possibly a resident of the village of Summerhaven near the top of 9,159 ft. Mt. Lemmon. Mt. Lemmon is on the northern edge of Tucson and receives 180-200 inches of snow annually. It also has 200 acres of ski runs.
Mount San Antonio, better known to most in Los Angeles as Old Baldy or Mount Baldy, is the highest peak in the San Gabriel Mountains of Southern California, USA and the highest point in Los Angeles County. Mount San Antonio has two summits. The eastern summit is higher at an elevation of 10,064 feet while the west is at 9,988 feet. In winter, Mount Baldy's snow-capped peaks are usually visible on clear days and dominate the view of the Los Angeles skyline.
The peak, which marks a boundary between San Bernardino County and Los Angeles County [1] is called Baldy because of the absence of trees around the summit. The Tongva tribe call the mountain Yoát or Joat, which means snow, and the Mohave call it Avii Kwatiinyam[2].
The peak may host more hikers than any other mountaintop in the western United States (of those inaccessible by car), or so guesses San Gabriel Mountains historian John W. Robinson.[citation needed]
It is considered to be a cosmic spiritual "recharging" site by the Aetherius Society.[2] The Mount Baldy Zen teaching centre was founded on Mount San Antonio in 1972 [3].
Mount Baldy, along with the nearby peak known as Thunder Mountain, is currently home to the family owned and operated ski resort Mount Baldy Ski Lifts, the closest resort to Los Angeles. Nearby lies Mt. Baldy Village, a small seasonal community. The village has its own fire department, church, visitor's center, and one-school school district; Mt. Baldy School (the abbreviation is the standard usage) has about 88 students.[3]
Between 1922 and 1927, American physicist Albert Michelson performed a number of experiments involving bouncing a beam of light onto a reflector at Lookout Mountain, a prominent bump on the south ridge of the mountain 3km SW of the peak, from the observatory at Mount Wilson some 22 miles distant. The exact distance was very accurately surveyed and using the measurements the speed of light was calculated to be 299,796±4 km/s.
Nearby is San Antonio Creek, the location of San Antonio Falls. The creek cascades through a gorge about three times, the final of which is about a 75 foot drop
Only 30% of visitors to Alaska actually see this mountain. It has its own weather system and is often surrounded by clouds. It appears for us on our first day and is not seen again during our visit. It is almost like magic how one minute it wasn't there and then suddenly it was, then just as quickly gone again.
I smoke a Peruvian medicinal tobacco cigar, called a mapacho, to celebrate making it to the base of the world’s highest mountain.
Mapachos are used in Amazonian ayahuasca celebrations. It was only fitting that an instrument of the highest sacred astral realm—a mapacho—should be enjoyed at the foot of the highest physical peak on our planet.
