Yesterday's evening hike... grand & far views, and looking much warmer than it was...

#LandscapePhotography #NaturePhotography #Photography #Bavaria #Allgäu #Alps #Mountains #Hiking

A path is leading through a wild mountain meadow with lots of flowers towards a group of spruces in the not too far distance. Yellow evening light is illuminating a section of the meadow, creating a glow and hard contrast with the shadowy area in the foreground. In the far back, the western flank of the Ammergauer Alps, incl. foot hills and region around Füssen. A layer of clouds is hovering close above the mountains, above that serene clear blue sky.
Panoramic view across mountain meadows with lots of flowers, patches of forests and fields in the foot hills of the Alps in the Allgäu region. A scattering of small villages and hamlets here and there. A layer of clouds is hovering close above the mountains in the distance, above that serene clear blue sky. In the foreground, yellow evening light is illuminating a section of the meadow, creating a bright glow and hard contrast with the shadowy areas even closer.

"Lord, how mine eyes throw gazes to the east!
My heart doth charge the watch; the morning rise
Doth cite each moving sense from idle rest.
Not daring trust the office of mine eyes"

In Summer And In Winter

Whatever the weather or season, this beautiful waterfall is simply breath-taking.

August: A wide river flowing towards the viewer and through pasture land drops dramatically over a jumble of rocks and into the top of a canyon. A natural platform of solid rock is jutting into the side of the falls, and people can be seen standing on it. The swift waters then turn through 90° before dropping into the lower part of the canyon which is hidden from sight at this viewing angle. A stub of dark rock is almost central at the crest of the lower falls. On the left is a path leading to the platform and people are walking up or down.
March: The same river and waterfall but, in this photo, the scene is covered in ice and snow. The upper platform is still visible but now nobody is standing there, as the path is actually closed. Areas of the riverbank and canyon where the spray from the drops was most dense are now choked with ice in beautiful formations. At the top falls, icicles like organ pipes have formed, almost filling the space between the falls and the riverbank. Opposite the lower drop, a huge block of snow-covered ice cornice has formed, jutting over the lip of the canyon.

My favorite place to get some peace and quiet is the Pawnee Buttes. This was an especially beautiful morning.

In Mountain Shadow

Standing at the head of Súgandafjörður, on a lovely autumn day.

This used to be an isolated fjord and didn’t connect to the road system in Iceland until 1940. Even then it was only accessed via a challenging mountain road. The 9.1 km Vestfjarðagöng tunnel wasn’t built until 1996, and is the only tunnel we've ever been through that has a T junction at roughly the central point.

Seasonal Sentinels

November, September, and February. Three shots of the same mountains, three different moods.

These memorable peaks are visible from the main ringroad (route 1) and I snapped them during different visits, years apart.

Akrafjall (1151m) and Sólheimafjall (1171m) in Blönduhlíðarfjöll near Varmahlíð in Skagafjörður, north-western #Iceland.

Two stately mountains, lit from behind the viewpoint. The wide peaks are almost horizontal, and their flanks are softly curved displaying their glacial origin. To reinforce this, a glacier has cut between them at some time before disappearing, and has left a scooped valley at almost the central point. In this shot, their sides are mostly snow-covered with dark rock showing through where the wind has scoured the ice away. The rest of the landscape around is snowy and frozen. The sky is almost completely full of snow cloud, solid and yellow-grey. Two photographers are visible in the foreground with their backs to the viewer.
The same two mountains, taken from slightly nearer than the first shot. This time the ground is free from snow and is covered in golden vegetation, suggesting autumn. The lower slopes of the two mountains are touched by sunlight from the right, and clouds have created shadow across the flat tops of the peaks. The bare rock is dark grey, and a sprinkle of snow is visible on the tops. The sky is cloudy again but with some clearer patches.
The two mountains again, this time taken from the tarmac road leading towards them. The peaks have more snow across them, but some dark rock is still visible and the shadows show that the light is from the right. The curved valley between them is much clearer in this shot. It has a river cutting through from the base of the valley and into the foreground on the right. The roadsides are brown vegetation with some farm animals - probably horses - grazing in a field on the left. The sky is clear cyan until just above the mountain tops, where some cloud is sitting.

Home Of The Winds

February, and a farm nestles at the foot of Hlíðarfjall. This 1116m/3660ft high mountain is better known from the other side as it stands above Akureyri, and contains the ski slopes.

The White Swan of Niagara (2022)

I think it goes without saying that anyone who visits Toronto and enjoys natural wonders should visit #NiagaraFalls it was definitely the highlight of my trip to #Toronto back in 2022. I desperately wanted to capture something that wasn't the 'standard' shot though. This is what I came away with, and I'm quite pleased with it. Really, you wouldn't necessarily know it's location without the title.

Plunge Pool

This was one of the first times we'd visited gorgeous Seljalandsfoss, and we discovered when we arrived that we were almost the only visitors at that time. Imagine that - the whole place to ourselves.

The little figure in a black coat on the path to the 61m/200ft falls is me!

Water Power

This beautiful canyon was created by erosion from glacial meltwater cutting through the palagonite over millennia. It has carved strange, twisted pillars of rock standing on either flank of the river. A well-laid walking trail climbs the eastern side for about a mile, ans contains many observation platforms.

For #MountainMonday: A spring rainstorm flows from the clouds to the mountains in British Columbia, Canada. Eagle Mountain and the Buntzen Lake area appear to be receiving the brunt of the rainfall while the sun breaks through the clouds to the west.

Horses On A Hill

Iceland in February, very beautiful but with unpredictable weather. We never travel without a change of warm and dry clothes, plenty of water and a high calorie snack. This was the tail-end of a strong wind storm, and we were glad to see it finish.

#SilentSunday

"His qualities were beauteous as his form,
For maiden-tongued he was, and thereof free;
Yet, if men moved him, was he such a storm
As oft 'twixt May and April is to see,
When winds breathe sweet, untidy though they be."

Black Beauty

The volcanic sands of Reynisfjara, near Vík í Mýrdal in southern #Iceland.

This strand regularly features in lists of "World's Top Beaches" due to its cleanliness, water quality and sheer loveliness.
If it was rated for swimming and sunbathing, it would get 0/10 every time!

The basalt stump in the centre is Arnardrangur (Eagle Rock) and in the distance are the famous Reynisdrangar.

Canyon Cascade

There are some lovely and quite famous valleys in southern #Iceland, this one is unusual because the entrance is blocked by a large, dome-shaped rock.
Stjórnargljúfur (𝙎𝙩𝙮𝙖𝙬𝙣-𝘢𝘳𝘳-𝘨𝘭𝘺𝘰𝘰-𝘷𝘳𝘳) gulley also contains a river and its waters cascade beautifully over this block.

On Tuesday the Nomads tackled the high hills and forest above Capileira, around 2300m - For me the theme was water. This is where the water comes from, snow melt fuels the streams and an intricate network of acequias built by the Moors a millennium ago disperses the water through a network estimated to measure over 3000 km through the Sierra Nevada and Alpujarra. Without this network, large tracts of southern and eastern spain would be desert. Sobering. #water #landscapephotography #agua

Snow Dome

November: A shot from a plane flying at 6500m between Reykjavik to Akureyri. The accumulation of snowflakes on the top of Hrútfell (1396m) eventually flows as part of a glacier - Hrútfellsjökull.

The other mountains are Innra-Sandfell and Femra-Sandfell. Bláskógabyggð in the western Central Highlands of #Iceland.
