View on the mountains from surroundings of the Cinque Torri formation :)
The Dolomite Mountains (the Dolomites) are a mountain range in northeastern Italy, part of the Southern Limestone Alps. They are in the regions of Veneto, Trentino-Alto Adige/Südtirol and Friuli-Venezia Giulia. The Dolomites are mostly made up of exposed rocks – limestones and dolomites and partly – rhyolites. These mountains are characterized by very picturesque terrain caused by their erosion and they are considered one of the most attractive mountain landscapes in the world. A large number of jagged ridges, peaks and rock towers, very steep slopes, cliffs and large vertical rock walls of several hundred meters, deep valleys and karst phenomena create a spectacular landscape. On 26 June 2009, the Dolomites were declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Widok na góry z okolic formacji skalnej Cinque Torri :)
Dolomity – pasmo górskie w północno-wschodnich Włoszech, część Alp Wschodnich, leżące w regionach Trydent-Górna Adyga i Wenecja Euganejska. Dolomity w dużej części składają się z odkrytych skał – wapieni i dolomitów oraz częściowo – riolitów. Góry te charakteryzują się bardzo malowniczą rzeźbą terenu spowodowaną ich erozją i uważane są za jeden z najatrakcyjniejszych krajobrazowo obszarów górskich na świecie. Duża liczba poszarpanych grani, turni i baszt skalnych, bardzo stromych stoków, urwisk oraz wielkich kilkusetmetrowych pionowych ścian skalnych, głębokich dolin i zjawisk krasowych tworzy spektakularny krajobraz. W 2009 roku Dolomity wpisano na listę światowego dziedzictwa UNESCO.
I'm adding this picture of the Amber Fort in Jaipur as World Elephant Day is tomorrow. It was my next stop after Ranthambore Park as well. This trip encompassed so many varied destinations. It was a difficult, but an outstanding itinerary.
There are demonstrations occurring in the city as the day grows near. I will let you read the article.

I first saw elephants in Asia where they are used as working beats of burden. It seemed so common place I gave the practice little thought until I went to Africa and saw the gentle giants in the wild. My thoughts changed and it is nice to see that the Indian people are demanding change
Wonderful views of the old town of Siena, with the magnificent Torre del Mangia towering over the old buildings in the background.
Aussicht vom Bantiger
2023
The Bantiger is the local mountain of the Bernese, visible from afar, its lookout tower is present in the whole area. I took one of my grandchildren with me and together we enjoyed the view. Although I don't really like the popular lookouts, of course I took a few pictures.
Der Bantiger ist der weithin sichtbare Hausberg der Berner, sein Aussichtsturm ist in der ganzen Umgebung präsent. Ich habe einen meiner Enkel mitgenommen und zusammen haben wir die Aussicht genossen. Obwohl ich die populären Aussichtspunkte eigentlich nicht so mag, habe ich natürlich ein paar Bilder gemacht.

Canary Wharf seen from near Shadwell Basin. The Thames bends a lot and the towers are on the same side of the river as this viewing point.
A view from Corcovado where the Jesus statue is located in Rio de Janeiro Brazil
The most popular attraction of Corcovado mountain is the statue and viewing platform at its peak, drawing over 300,000 visitors per year. From the peak's platform the panoramic view includes downtown Rio, Sugarloaf Mountain, the Lagoa Rodrigo de Freitas (lake), Copacabana and Ipanema beaches, Estádio do Maracanã (Maracanã Stadium), and several of Rio's favelas. Cloud cover is common in Rio and the view from the platform is often obscured. Sunny days are recommended for optimal viewing.
Notable past visitors to the mountain peak include Charles Darwin, Pope Pius XII, Pope John Paul II, Alberto Santos-Dumont, Albert Einstein, Diana, Princess of Wales, and General Sherman, among others. An additional attraction of the mountain is rock climbing. The south face had 54 climbing routes in 1992. The easiest way starts from Park Lage.

Taken from the walkway leading from the Trevor Basin car park ,down and around towards underneath the aqueduct ..Down below is the Country Park , which is accessible down steep steps , but there is a overflow car park just before the basin , which I think has a way leading to the entrance of the country park , more to explore on another visit :-)
Day view of wintry Hakodate from 334 metres high Mount Hakodate. Hakodate is Hokkaido's third-largest city, located at the southern tip of the island. The view from the mountain is more famous by night, but the daytime version is also great.

View form Trail Ridge Road (highest continuous paved road in the US reaching elevation of 12,183 feet), Rocky Mountain National Park, Colorado. Driving on this road is little nerve wrecking, but in the end rewarded by breathtaking scenery. Changing elevation takes you from tree lines to alpine tundra which has very fragile ecosystem. Weather up top is ever changing and highly unpredictable. I will add some more shots next few days as I continue to process them.
from a park bluff through numerous filters, across neighborhoods - north to the Financial District and even across the bay. (large view is better)
Happy Sliders Sunday!
Not too far from Chittagong Airport is a nice waterfront strip along the banks of the Karnaphuli River. There were boats and ships moored everywhere but this was one of the few days where the sun didn't shine and it was overcast and very hazy but there was enough colour to lift the mood a little.

Last year I was in Norway. On one of the last days I've found a nice hicking trail which lead me to a nice cabin with this view over Kristiansand. I hopve you enjoy the view ;)
If you like 'architectural' views, go to Greenwich, London. Here, through one of the the front windows of Queen's House, and onto one of the domes of the Old Royal Naval College and then, across the Thames, to the business buildings of Canary Wharf. Just in front of Queen's House, an ice rink has been built - pure joy during the winter.

I was still working when I suddenly noticed that we had a nice sunset for a change. So I grabbed the camera and took a few quick photos before the sun disappeared and the colours faded. This was one of the moment when I always wish I could see that sunset in a nicer place, at a lake or even better at the seaside. As this wasn't possible I can only offer the view from study, from the same window where the Dragon sat in the other photo I post today.
