The old Hospiz (Hospice for travelers over the Simplon Pass) is listed as a Swiss heritage site of national significance. The Hospiz was begun in 1801 on orders from Napoleon, but was not finished until 30 years later with the support of the Canons of Great Saint Bernard.

Gorrión común
(Passer domesticus)
El conocido y familiar gorrión común es, tal vez, el ave más extendida de todo el planeta y, sin duda, una de las más exitosas. Adaptable y poco exigente en lo que al hábitat y a la alimentación se refiere, este habitante de pueblos, ciudades y caseríos es, sin embargo, un comensal directo del hombre y, por tanto, depende estrechamente de nuestras actividades para sobrevivir; de manera que cuando un pueblo es abandonado por sus habitantes humanos, los gorriones comunes no tardan en desaparecer tras sus involuntarios benefactores.

Orden Passeriformes
Familia Passeridae
Longitud 14-15 cm

Identificación
Paseriforme de aspecto robusto y voluminoso, el gorrión común posee un pico fuerte y un plumaje dominado por los tonos pardos en el dorso —adornado con marcadas listas negras— y grisáceos en el obispillo, el pecho y el vientre. Los machos en época reproductora presentan el pico negro y el dorso de una tonalidad bastante rojiza, en tanto que el píleo toma un color gris y el babero se hace más extenso y oscuro. Los caracteres sexuales ligados al plumaje son visibles todo el año, aunque se van haciendo más patentes debido al desgaste progresivo de las plumas, que deja a la vista los colores internos de estas. Las hembras tienen el píleo marrón y presentan una línea clara tras el ojo; no lucen babero y su pico es siempre grisáceo hacia el extremo y amarillento en la base. Los jóvenes machos, por su parte, son indistinguibles de las hembras hasta que realizan la muda de finales de verano, cuando adquieren los colores del adulto.
Canto
El gorrión común es una especie bulliciosa —especialmente cuando se muestra nervioso o se reúne en grandes grupos—, que cuenta con un gran repertorio de reclamos sencillos. Suele emitir continuamente un chipchip o un chirr-r-r-r, mientras que el canto de celo es una serie repetida de sonidos de las mismas características de los descritos: chipchiu- chuurp-chelp…
A cold sunset evening looking over snow topped houses and pass leading to the ski resort in Flaine, France.
My Impressions of Winnats Pass which is a Limestone gorge located at Castleton in the High Peak district of Derbyshire, England.
I don't like hights. I get giddy standing on a stool, so standing on the edge of the limestone outcrops in wet muddy boots and looking down to see a lot of air before my eyes focused on the road at the bottom of the gorge.....is......???
This was a reconnaissance trip but the low cloud swept in leaving little visibility.
So i will have to do it all again:-) Looking forward to it.
Captured this huge pano on 03/31/2015 on the top of the Renjo Pass (5360m). It was pretty difficult or rather exhausting to climb Renjo at this time, because there was a lot of snow - too much snow!
But finally... we (Dawa Sherpa and I) did it! :)
It's a panorama composed of 20 shots.

Comforting warmth and hot soup awaits the tramping team at Pass Hut on the summit of Mackinnon Pass above the Clinton Canyon on the Milford Track in the Southland Region of the South Island of New Zealand.
Burkes Pass is a mountain pass and at its base, a small town on State Highway 8 at the entrance to the Mackenzie Country in South Canterbury, New Zealand. It is named after Michael John Burke (1812 Co. Galway-1869 Ballarat), a graduate of Trinity College Dublin, who drove a team of bullocks through the passageway which leads up into the Mackenzie Country in 1855.

Molas Pass (elevation 3326m) is a high mountain pass in Western Colorado, traversed by Million Dollar Highway.
Million Dollar Highway is definitely one of the most scenic highways I have travelled. Stretching between the cities of Durango and Silverton, highway stretches 40km and travels through gorges with steep cliffs and high mountain passes.
The origin of the name of the highway is disputed. There are several legends and according to one it cost a million dollars a mile to build the highway in 1920s. According to another legend, road’s fill dirt contains a million dollars in gold ore.
Taken July 2019.
I liked the contrast between the beautiful landscape and the derelict buildings you can find at Passo del Tonale (1884 m) in northern Italy. I tried to enhance the effect with a digital filter, which I normally refrain from. Mind you, not all the houses there look like this, it's actually a nice hiking area and a decent ski resort in winter.
Upper Whitcombe valley and Whitcombe Pass (1239 m), looking south towards the Rakaia valley and Jollie Range in the distance. The high peak on the right is Lauper Peak (2485 m). The main divide of the Southern Alps runs through the pass.

Winnats Pass over a decade ago. Maybe one day I'll brave the crowds. At this time I was using a second hand lens that badly needed cleaning inside. Shooting into the sun showed how badly it needed it. When I eventually sent it off it came back looking new.
A small tarn north of Glen Pass on the John Muir Trail, Sierra Nevada Mountains. This photos was taken with an old Canon Rebel, Fuji Velvia film, and digitized with a Nikon V ED scanner (colors and saturation were matched to the original slide).
Climbing on the R37 to 2100m over the Long Tom Pass.
The pass is part of the Mpumalanga Panorama Route.
The pass was named after the Long Tom guns used by the Boer in the second Boer War against the British.
Ophir Pass is a beautiful drive and the road for the most part is easy. It not a long drive and it's a shortcut from Telluride to Silverton.
DB Cargo 66066 'Geoff Spencer' is seen heading away from Adwick whilst in charge of the 6G01 08.58 Skellow Junction to Doncaster Belmont Yard. It was seen here on the 23rd April 2017.

This was a view on the way to Buckskin Pass (although I forget the name of the pass captured in this image). It was by accident I had taken this trail one morning, and it was a very tough climb. When I saw this view, I knew I had to return in an afternoon to capture it with the right light. This was my favorite day of the trip and this was my favorite location. was thrilled to make it up here right after a snow storm.
The only hikers I came across were the one's going up to the pass, and they were few and far between. I really enjoyed the solitude. I hiked a little further from this point, but I hope I return sometime to make it even further. This whole hike was a beautiful experience.
