More and more observation points are being set up for nature lovers. Places that are also gladly accepted. Not only by photographers.
Immer mehr Beobachtungspunkte für den Naturfreund werden errichtet. Plätze die auch gerne angenommen werden. Nicht nur von Fotografen.
An iconic view of the Lower Falls of the Yellowstone river seen from the Lookout Viewpoint.
This is the spot where Thomas Moran painted the Lower Falls to inspire Congress in 1872. The painting played a crucial role in convincing the Congress make Yellowstone the first national park. He allegedly wept over the lack of colors in his palette to accurately portray all the hues and tones he experienced and tried to show.
The Red Rock viewpoint is below. An adjacent 0.5-mile trail drops 500 ft to Red Rock for even closer views – the average age of the crowd plummets with the elevation (it’s hard on the knees). The trail was closed to maintenance when I was here this trip. Hope it's open on my next trip, as it's the only viewpoint I've not enjoyed.
Friday is here. Have a fabulous day and weekend ahead.
A viewpoint of beautiful Vernazza (there are about 10 million pictures on the web taken at this exact spot, many of them featuring people wearing straw hats).
For a photo story of my visit to the Cinque Terre:
Mt. Walker, located in the Olympic National Forest, is the only peak facing Puget Sound that has a road to its summit. It is densely covered with 100 year-old Douglas-fir trees and Native Pacific rhododendrons. The south viewpoint is at an elevation 2805 feet.
The Hood Canal and the nearer Dabob and Quilcene Bays are the waterways in the foreground and Puget Sound is in the distance. Seattle, 28 miles away, is faintly visible at the horizon
I'm not sure how I managed to have my camera on black and white setting when I got to the viewpoint at the top of the mountain in Khao Yai but I still think the picture of the view is quite special
Unfortunately this scene from the Birchen Coppice view point, has been taken over in resent years by tree growth. This is a shot I took of fourteen years ago where the view extended from the parish church of St Anne's in Bewdley across to the West Midland Safari Park. Featured loco working off Safari Curve is 80072.
For those of us who are hikers, we're always looking for that higher ground to afford a better view. A group of house sparrows were hanging together in a bush by the path, with one large rock very close to the path. These sparrows would take turns flying over to the rock and perching for a bit, then trading off with another.
There are so many great viewpoints in this part of the world that it is hard to pick out the best ones. I hadn't been here for more than 15 years and yet remembered how special it was even on the gloomy day that we came last time. I made sure that I picked a good day this time!
Note the inversion layer on the far right in the Strait of Juan De Fuca and the Olympic Mountains beyond
A view of the Phetchabun Mountain range from the Khao Kho viewpoint.
Wikipedia: Khao Kho is a district (amphoe) of Phetchabun province, northern Thailand. The name of the district comes from Khao Kho, a peak in the Phetchabun Mountains, named either after Livistona speciosa, a kind of palm tree, or after the Ceylon oak. Both species are known as kho (Thai: ค้à¸) in Thai and are abundant in the area.
Between 1965 and 1984, this mountainous area was a battleground in the fight between the Thai communist party and the Royal Thai Army.

Once again I just can say that a dream came true for me to visit this wonderful place. We stay one night at this viewpoint in a little house with a fan. I would have slept in the tent or just stayed up all night so I could be there. It was simply breathtaking…
I would like to come back in the late spring season for the different atmosphere, colors and to visit some other viewpoints in the near.
Thank you for your visit, faves and comments!
I can never resist a short stop at the roadside viewpoint on the road from Windermere to Bowness. it must be one of the most photographed scenes in England. The fells range from Wetherlam on the left, through Crinkle Crags and Bowfell to the Langdales on the right.
Blick vom Bölchen (Belchen)
Die Belchenflue in der Baselbieter Gemeinde Eptingen ist eines der beliebtesten Ausflugziele im Kanton Baselland. Mit 1099 m ü. NN ist es wohl der bekannteste Berg auf der Landschaft Basel.
Schaut man von oben nicht weit ins Land, sondern hinab ins Tal, entdeckt man sowohl gut miteinander vernetzte Höfe und Dörfchen, als auch die unterschiedlichsten, dem Auge schmeichelnden Farbtöne, mir hat es besonders all das frische Grün angetan, es belebt die Nadelwälder ungemein, zeigt die Gliederung der Feld- und Wiesenflächen und macht einfach gute Laune...
