I took this late afternoon shot looking along a valley towards Cathedral Peak, which is the distant peak on the right side of this panoramic landscape. Cathedral Peak is the main point of access to some of the wildest areas of the central Drakensberg, and provides some most spectacular scenery.

Bow Lake is located on the Bow River, in the Canadian Rockies. Bow Lake was one of the stops during driving on the Icefields Parkway. It was a cloudy morning, I was amazed by the magnificent peaks and reflections on the lake. The view is stunning. Spending some time walking around the lake, the sceneries of Canadian Rockies are out of this world.

This 2400 meter peak is named for the first person to climb it in 1896. Situated just south of Canmore Alberta. The mountain is reflected here in the Canmore Forebay. The East end of Rundle is on the right.

An unforgettable sunrise on Ramshaw Rocks in the Peak District.
The golden dawn light had to be seen to be believed and the alarm call at stupid o clock was quickly forgotten. It's mornings like these that give you inspiration to get out of bed and get out there. I didn't see anyone until about 5 minutes after this shot was taken when another photographer appeared up on the summit rocks.
Even though I already uploaded two images from our only morning at the Seceda, I find it so impressive that I also want to share this post-sunrise image which seems to work very well in a square crop. Here, the golden light of the rising sun was already gone and I though that the harsher light from the higher sun won’t make for any good images. However, I then thought that the sun might touch one of the peaks giving me the opportunity of creating a nice sunstar and after some waiting, I was indeed rewarded with another beautiful image of this impressive scenery. Hope you like it!
One of dozens of impressive Chugach peaks along Alaska's Glenn Highway.
I strive to identify the peaks I see on my trips. Rarely are there any markers when I drive by. I study maps and google nearby landmarks. I generally can come up with the name.
Very challenging in BC, Alberta and Alaska as there are just so many of them (a good thing). Was unable to ID this majestic peak (yet). If anyone knows please let me know.
Some pics of more Chugach peaks in comments.
Thanks for taking a peak peek!
Just another one of a zillion (OK, I exaggerate, a million) impressive peaks in the Canadian Rockies. Leah Peak stands tall and noble along the eastern shore of Maligne Lake.
Another perspective of Leah in comments.
Thanks for taking a peak peek.
Have a wonderful week. Seems I'm digging out daily from another snow storm. But it sure is pretty.
The highest point in Idaho at 12,662’/ 3859 m, Borah Peak (left) is unique in being primarily composed of limestone (most of the gray rock seen here) that was deposited at the bottom of an ocean 420 million years ago. The slightly younger reddish siltstones on the right side form some wonderful banded strata below the summit of Sacajawea Peak.
Also notable is the light colored band at the base of the mountain seen at the bottom of the picture. I initially assumed this was a road or a trail, but it’s a remnant of a magnitude 4.9 earthquake that hit the area in 1983, the largest quake ever recorded in Idaho. The valley side of the fault dropped as much as 9’/ 2.7 m and the mountain side rose by as much as 3’ / 1 m, leaving a notable fault scarp 21 miles/ 34 km long.
There aren't many things more beautiful than a patch of light moving across a landscape. These little peaks are Parkhouse and Chrome Hill, the only vaguely pointy things in the Peak District. And you can see how big they are measured against the two characters near the left edge of the picture. Not very tall.
But then again the Peak District was never given that name because of 'peaked' hills.

While it appears that Naches Peak is higher than distant Rainier, it's not even close. At 6452 feet Naches Peak is not even half as high as The Mtn, that tops off at 14,411 feet.

Thanks for taking a double peak peek!
Have a wonderful week!

A lovely view over the beautiful

Best viewed large...
Just one of the many amazing peaks in Alberta's impressive Kananaskis Country south of Banff. Peaks galore. I plan on spending more time exploring here. ;-))
Hope your weekend is going wonderfully!

It's possible I never published a black and white of this scene from 2007 because I could never get the sky just the way I wanted it. But I'm pretty pleased with this effort.
An image originally uploaded ten years ago and given a refresher in the virtual darkroom......
With the Castle looming in the background, Peak no. 45121 sets off from Nottingham with a rake of (mostly) Mk2 air-conditioned carriages on one of the then hourly services to London St Pancras.
The shot was taken from the Lenton Lane over-bridge. The rusty track going off to the right served Wilford Power Station which, while still open, was generating barely one-fifth of the power it had been delivering in the early 1960s - no doubt influenced by the opening of the huge Ratcliffe-on-Soar facility a few miles south-west. It was finally closed in 1981 and today the site is a retail park.
The Beeston / Toton arm of the Nottingham Tramway system (NET) now crosses the railway line just in front of the Peak so, sadly, this view is no longer possible.

We were waiting for sunrise at Moraine Lake and after a long wait, and a gorgeous shot of Moraine, I captured this walking out. What a beautiful place.
Mount Shasta is a volcano located at the southern end of the Cascade Range in Siskiyou County, California. At 14,179 feet, it is the second highest peak in the Cascades and the fifth highest in California. Mount Shasta is not connected to any nearby mountain and dominates the northern California landscape. On a clear winter day snowy Mount Shasta can be seen from the floor of the Central Valley 140 miles (230 km) south. The mountain has attracted the attention of poets, authors, presidents ... and MelRoseJ.
Shot in January this year when I had the opportunity to visit the Peak District for a couple of hours. Walking at the top of a small mountain ridge, the sun just came through the clouds and the light was amazing. I guess that this was just luck-)
I worked on a initial version of this photo and since I work with Lightroom CC (in combination with Photoshop), I thought to give it another try. I'm actually amazed what you can pull from a file from the LX3, an older camera with some limits. But it's all about the picture and I'm pretty proud about this one!
Pisang Peak est un sommet pyramidal de trekking au-dessus de Pisang, un village sur le circuit de l'Annapurna, dans le district de Manang, au nord du Népal. Il a été gravi pour la première fois par une expédition allemande en 1955.

This is right on the other side of the tunnel leading to the Devils Courthouse. It faces East, it;s not an actual overlook, just a clear patch with a gravel pull off. I stopped because the clouds were on fire, low lying clouds were deep in the valley sandwiched between the earth and sky. I thought I'd give it a chance and see if I could pull from it an interesting photo. So I began bracketing, trying to get something usable from the scene. This is one of the things I found, I have more shots to rummage through.. We will see.

No filters this time, the light was fading so fast i didn't want to hassle with them.
