Walking alongside and see many sights.
The Loire is the longest river in France and the 171st longest in the world. It is also the third longest river in Europe, after the Danube and the Volga. With a length of 1,006 kilometres, more than a fifth of France's land, while its average discharge is only half that of the Rhône.

Manhattan Bridge & Lower East Side Manhattan View from Brooklyn Bridge Brooklyn New York City NY P00682 DSC_1374
Designed by Frank Lloyd Wright, The Guggenheim Museum, will celebrate 60 years on Fifth Avenue in 2019. Some hate it - some love it - I think it adds to the experience of seeing great art.
I captured this image of three New York City bridges from One World Observatory, which is located on floors 100-102 of One World Trade Center. From left to right, the Williamsburg Bridge, the Manhattan Bridge, and the Brooklyn Bridge all span the East River; linking Manhattan and Brooklyn. [Flickr Explore #126, April 11, 2021.]
High mountain hiking in Rocky Mountain National Park - came over the ridge line when we spotted these elk having a snack and enjoying the view.
This is a shot of the south end of Loch Eck taken from a hilltop overlooking Stratheck. From this viewpoint I can see 2 forest tracks that I regularly walk/cycle and also one of my favourite roads to drive :)
The best part of using a drone for photography is the new perspective on a similar place it gives you! Another view of Durgin Lake in Western Mongolia.
Water's mark on the land is easy to see in a frozen landscape. Picture taken somewhere over the mid-west maybe Nebraska or eastern Colorado?
Peanut vendors stop along the causeway on the banks of the Ganges for a conversation. Yes the peanuts are good in case you wanted to know!
Flying from Sydney to Broome over central Australia we were treated to some crazy landscape abstracts - loved the colors and patterns.
Alagna Valsesia & Gressoney. Italy.
From the top of Corno del Camoscio, Chamois horn, 3,024m, a look toward the divide marking the border between the Piedmont Region and Valle d'Aosta.
Starting from the closest summit, you see Corno Rosso, Punta Straling, and the threatening Corno Bianco, the highest point of the long ridge, 3,320m, with its satellites, Punta di Netscho and Punta di Ciampono.
You can reach this view point from a nearby cable car station in less than 30min. I opted for a longer trail, starting 1,000m below. It's a lovely hike, amid the pastures and the first rock fields, and you can forget the presence of the lifts till the last steps, when you reach the summit and you look on the other side of the ridge.
The show offered by the clouds is common up here. Humidity rise up from the plane and the big lakes of Northern Italy and collide against the South East side of the divide, leaving the sky above Valle d'Aosta almost clean. Usually the clouds bring then the rain, but this last summer they forgot their job.
Dalla cima del Corno del Camoscio, uno sguardo verso lo spartiacque che segna il confine tra Piemonte e Valle d'Aosta.
Partendo dalla vetta più vicina si vedono Corno Rosso, Punta Straling e il minaccioso Corno Bianco, il punto più alto della lunga cresta, 3.320 m, con i suoi satelliti, Punta di Netscho e Punta di Ciampono.
È possibile raggiungere questo punto panoramico da una vicina stazione della funivia in meno di 30 minuti. Ho optato per un sentiero più lungo, partendo 1.000 m più in basso. E' una bella escursione, tra i pascoli e le prime rocce, e si può dimenticare la presenza degli impianti di risalita fino agli ultimi passi, quando si raggiunge la vetta e si guarda dall'altra parte della cresta.
Lo spettacolo offerto dalle nuvole è comune quassù. L'umidità sale dalla pianura e dai grandi laghi del Nord e si scontra con il lato sud-est dello spartiacque, lasciando il cielo sopra la Valle d'Aosta quasi pulito. Di solito le nuvole portano poi la pioggia, ma quest'estate hanno dimenticato di fare il loro lavoro.
Alagna Valsesia. Italy.
The water of Lago Bianco, 2,330m, White Lake, the first hidden lake of Rissuolo valley, rippled by the warm September wind of one of the warmest years yet to remember. Above the lake the pinnacle of Corno Rosso. Shot taken along the trail to Lago Nero, Black lake.
In the link below, Lago Nero,
L'acqua del Lago Bianco, 2.330 m, il primo lago nascosto della Val Rissuolo, increspata dal caldo vento di settembre di uno degli anni più caldi da ricordare. Sopra il lago la vetta del Corno Rosso. Scatto eseguito lungo il sentiero del Lago Nero.

Same flight as previous photo - just a little further to the east. Always amazing to see what a force for change - especially land use change - we as people actually are.

The East ridge of Monte Teggiolo (2,385m) divides the Valley of Cairasca, on the left, from the one of Diveria river, with this last one continuing then till the great basin of Toce river. On the right, The peak of Pizzo del Rovale.
This summit offer impressive views all around and is a pleasant hike.
There is a route to the summit that follows the upper part of this ridge (that sinks from the top to the village of Varzo, 1,850m below), with some chains helping you on the last rocks below the summit. On the other side the mountain is much more peaceful, covered by wide meadows, and I followed the normal route along those slopes, starting from the village of Bugliaga, at 1,310m.
At the following link, the panorama on the other side of the mountain with some of the giants of the Alps, the Weissmies range and Monte Leone.

La cresta Est del Monte Teggiolo (2.385m) divide la Valle della Cairasca, a sinistra, da quella del fiume Diveria, con quest'ultimo che prosegue poi fino alla grande conca del fiume Toce.
Questa vetta offre viste impressionanti tutt'intorno ed è una piacevole escursione.
C'è un percorso per la vetta che segue la parte superiore di questa cresta, con alcune catene che aiutano sulle ultime rocce sotto la sommità. Dall'altro lato la montagna è molto più clemente, coperta di ampi pascoli. Io ho seguito il sentiero su quest'ultimo versante. Partendo dal piccolo paese di Bugliaga, a 1.310m.
Al link sopra, il panorama dal lato opposto, con il gruppo della Weissmies e il Monte Leone.
