Mancos State Park has a campground with sites clustered around the reservoir. I use this campground for easy access to the La Plata Mountains, especially the viewpoint for Mount Hesperus. While eating breakfast I noticed this view, just a few steps from my tent site. I knew it was going to be a good day.

The view from Prospect Terrace to the east on a pleasant late October afternoon. The River Lossie disappears into the distance on the right whilst to the left of the dunes is the Moray Firth and the bay to Kingston and beyond.

A picture from last week while hiking out in K-country up to Chester Lake. Perfect weather & unreal view. Have a great Turkey weekend everyone. As always Thanks for the views & comments.
This 20 metre high viewing tower at Tralee Bay wetlands centre & nature reserve gives a superb panoramic view of the various lakes, reed beds & across to Blennerville Windmill, the Dingle peninsula & Atlantic ocean (an iPhone5 image, Flickr seems to have lost the data I think?) Happy Window Wednesday!
View of Lake Brienz from the Schynigen Platte, Bernese Alps.
This time the view was without a sea of fog, so that the bright blue lake was wonderfully visible.
Aussicht auf den Brienzersee von der Schynigen Platte, Berner Oberland.
Diesmal war die Sicht ohne Nebelmeer, so dass der leuchtend blaue See wunderbar zu sehen war.

I'm currently working on a project in Istanbul, Turkey and my flight back last week circled over the Peak District before landing
Due to the howling gales and rain i apologise for taking a blurred shot of this beautiful view! The small island in the distance at the tip of the headland is Puffin Island.
When Galileo offered his opposers the chance to look into the telescope, many of them refused. They thought that that instrument was a trick of the Devil, a deceit to our perception to drift man away from the way of Truth - away from God. This so-called argument had been used so many times - e.g. when the opposers of the theory of evolution claimed that the Devil put bones and skulls of stranger antediluvian beasts into the rocks to deceive man - to demonstrate the mighty powers of unreason. I really cannot grasp how people can maintain such stances today but, well, this happens all the day, so this could be a limitation of my own little mind. However nobody can deny that that rough telescope - together with Van Leeuwenhoek's primitive microscope - was the beginning of a revolution in our way to look at the world and understand it. The scope of our (admittedly augmented) senses spans now from elementary particles to the remotest regions of space and time, including along the way that awesome marvels that we call cells.
That said, this humble shot portraits a coin operated telescope (a rather pompous name, but I am aware that many people love them, and there is even a group in Flickr dedicated to them) in Montisola, Lake Iseo, Italy*. I must admit that I have not looked into it (just like Galileo's foes...), but I loved the strikingly fresh view on the world offered by its external metal shell - especially how it creates two images of myself: one could go at work as usual, and the other could leisurely wander capturing photos all the time ;-)
* In the background on the right you can see the small island of Saint Paul
