Down there is the River inn, as it flows from Austria to the North to then later end in the Danube at Passau.

Snæfellsjökull (Icelandic for "snow mountain glacier") is a 1446 metre high stratovolcano at the western end of the Snæfellsnes peninsula in Iceland.
Visible from afar, Snæfellsjökull towers majestically in the centre of the Snaefellsnes peninsula. In Jules Verne's novel, this was the entrance to the centre of the earth.
I was up there in 1993, before Snæfellsjökull National Park was established in 2001.
We pitched our tent in the snow 20 metres below the top and spent the night there.

Snæfellsjökull (isländisch für „Schneeberggletscher“) ist ein 1446 m hoher Stratovulkan am westlichen Ende der Halbinsel Snæfellsnes auf Island.
Weithin sichtbar ragt der Snæfellsjökull majestätisch in der Mitte der Snaefellsnes Halbinsel empor. In Jules Vernes Roman war hier der Zugang zum Mittelpunkt der Erde.
Ich war 1993 oben, bevor 2001 der Snæfellsjökull Nationalpark gegründet wurde.
20 Meter unter der Spitze, haben wir unser Zelt im Schnee aufgeschlagen und dort übernachtet.

Santa Fe's e/b "Harbor Train", the X-3362E rounds the corner into Summit, CA on Nov. 1, 1970. Two GP35's lead two GP30's and a pair of SD24's has the rear position. Apparently, one or more of the bell-ringers is not loading or off-line as there is a surprise coming.
NJT ALP-46 4609 "Ride with Pride" leads train 6320 out of Summit, NJ, passing the YD-41 protect and a cut of loaded stone cars in the yard. This was its first revenue train wearing its near vinyl wrap, sponsored by Hackensack Meridian Health to show support for Gay Pride Month.
It’s hard to imagine this river began with a single drop of water. The length of this river fueled by the slow, but certain melting of mountain glaciers. All along the braids formed by pools, back eddies and gravel bars, the river's floodplain slowly delivers each drop of water from the mountain summits to the sea.
This photograph is an aerial view taken over Skeiðarársandur in Southeast Iceland. Seem from above, a vast plain of sand and ash serves as a canvas for small river channels to branch into abstract patterns in the sand.
PT98 has just crested the summit of the former Lackawanna mainline at Pocono Summit. Like many of the communities along the DL main, the Pocono Summit depot still stands, though it looked unused during our fall 2016 visit.

Summit Chief Mtn, as viewed from Williams Lake. This was taken on the same long ago trip on which we climbed Mt. Daniel, and did a few short hikes from base camps. FYI - That's not our tent, as we didn't camp here. Scan of a 35mm Kodachrome 25 slide.

We are at a mind-boggling 13,000 feet. Six miles from the Bolivian border and in the heart of El Alto Loa, FCAB train crests the summit at Ascotan and begins its arduous decent towards Calama. 210 is one of 2 scheduled trains from the Bolivian interchange at Ollagüe and handles lead, silver, and zinc concentrate bound for Mejillones, Chile. The leader is FCAB #2501, an ex-Tren a las Nubes (Argentina) GT22CU tunnel motor built on a GP40 frame, and the only one of its kind on the roster.
The towering Volcán Cerro Tomasamil can be behind 2501, peaking at a ridiculous 19,324 feet and El Volcán Cañapa can be seen to its right at matching 19,357ft, both mountains standing on the Bolivian side of the border. The Ascotan Salt flat dominates the sprawling valley beneath. The Andes peak at over 21,000 feet in this region and are among some of the tallest mountains on Earth
The sprint up the hill to capture this photo was a dangerous endeavor at 2 ½ miles above sea level. We endured through an array of elevation sickness symptoms as we pushed ourselves to the physical limit in pursuit of this divine train. Traveling 5,500 miles and battling some of the most insane topography on planet earth truly gives a respect for the dedication that this hobby we call ‘railfanning’ requires

Whitehorse Mountain, dressed in her snow cap and winter glaciers. Toned for high key to emphasize light and dark playing on her snow fields.
Two photo's that make you think I used hdr, I can assure you I didn't :-)

Ps: summit is in the background, not where the tree is :-)

While waiting for the clouds to clear right before sunset, I managed to get a glimpse of Säntis Summit through them.
Here we catch a glimpse of the summit of Mount Wellington (1,272 metres), Hobart, Tasmania, in the early morning light. The apartment buildings in the foreground were constructed in the 1960s.
Just up the road from White Haven Tunnel, RBMN #3054 leads NRFF past the lone signal at MP 147 near Glen Summit, Pennsylvania.
At the top of Broad Pass lies appropriately named Summit Lake. The Alaska Railroad's north freight glides by at 0303 in the morning as they make their way to Fairbanks.
Image of our camp site on the summit of Mt Bogong during a recent back country ski trip. A high pressure system right over the Alpine National Park meant we had 5 days of perfect weather which provided us with the rare opportunity to strike camp on the very top of Victoria's highest mountain.
The NW summit of Waddington has a false summit as well as a true summit. The false summit sits just to the south of the NW summit at the head of Angel Glacier, across a small saddle. In this photo from the true summit of Wadd an American climber is traversing from the NW summit over the saddle to the false summit.
Key Summit, Fiordland National Park, New Zealand. This is the reward for a 3,000 ft climb, looking across the valley to Mt Crosscut and Lake Marion. Contax 139 Quartz, Zeiss Distagon 2.8/25, Lee Filters Grad ND filter, Kodak Portra 400. © All Rights Reserved
A panorama of South Lake Tahoe from Echo Summit. Elevation over 7000 ft. I got there from Sacramento which is about sea level. It's a steep winding ascend to this area in the Eldorado National Forest. A lot of steep winding ups and downs along the way next to cliffs and a river. It's one of those roads where you can't take your eyes off the road, or your hands off the wheel. A challenging road to maintain speed limits. And the drive down is just as exciting.
Here's the link to my YouTube video of the road trip:
Thanks for viewing.
This was taken going to two medicine on Hwy 2, this was a rest stop with a great view. The mountain is called Summit Mountain @ 8770 foot.
Rolling by me at less than 10per, sanding valves open and in company notch since passing St-André Junction some 20 miles ago, M306 battle over Pelletier summit is almost over as head-end along with the first 70 cars of so slowly begin their descent toward Pohénégamook and ultimately Edmundston for a crew change.
Pelletier was the junction point with the tortuous former mainline of the Monk subdivision who was bypassed by the "new" Pelletier cutoff, built in 1977, linking the former National Transcontinental Railway with the Intercolonial Railway mainline who was built on a much straighter and level up grade, along the St-Lawrence River.

Moonlit summit.
Staring across the flat, lochan studded expanse of Rannoch Moor. The large body of water stretching along the left hand side is the Blackwater Reservoir.
Orion above my right shoulder, the twin stars Castor & Pollux in Gemini my star sign far left of frame and the red giant Aldebaran in the 'V' of Taurus top right.
The sight of snow twinkling in the moonlight never ceases to thrill me.
UP 3188 East hits the grade crossing at Summit as darkness begins to settle in. Trailing the SD40-2 is a GP30B and DRGW SD45 5327 in this view from sometime in early 1977.
PNWR's Toledo Hauler summits the grade at Summit, Oregon, completing its climb from the bottom of the in Nashville.
At last I reach the summit of Glas Tulaichean, after just over 2 hours of solid climbing. The low clouds unfortunately obscure any view I would have but do give a mysterious feel around the Trig Point that marks the summit.
Glas Tulaichean is my 5th Munro of the season and the 28th in total, bringing me to a Munro completion rate of near enough 10%. The mountain stands at 1051 meters (3448 feet) and is the last one I will do as I have now moved away from Scotland and back to my roots in South Yorkshire as the pull of the Grandchildren was just too strong.
Tugboats and tankers scurry around this rather large cruise ship. Summit arrived to port at 6:30 am and is now being refueled for the trip back up to Alaska. Celebrity cruises owns Summit, a Millennium class cruise ship, along with with sister ships Millennium, Infinity and Constellation.
