After some thought, I've determined that I get more minutes of direct sunlight if I hike counter-clockwise around the mountain than if I hike clockwise. The sun is a moving floodlight.

I'm here in #Italy for the longer days. I've been unreasonably happy and energetic today, only my fourth day in Italy. Less than a week ago I was intensely uncomfortable for no reason.

Sunrises will always be one of the many beautiful aspects of nature.

I really like these paths...

Auf dem Bild ist eine steile Berglandschaft mit einem gewundenen Wanderweg zu sehen. Der Weg schlängelt sich den felsigen, teilweise mit Gras bewachsenen Hang hinauf. In der Mitte des Bildes befindet sich ein dichter, dunkelgrüner Nadelwaldbereich.

Jagged seracs where the ice pulls away from the cliffside on the Gabriel Icefall of the Gulkana Glacier.

My hiking guide to the area: lwpetersen.com/alaska-guide/gu…

#alaska #hiking #glacier

Close-up view of the Gabriel Icefall on the Gulkana Glacier, showing jagged blue-white ice fractured into steep seracs. A dark cave opens at the base where the glacier meets a vertical gray rock cliff. Streaks of dirt and old snow mark the lower ice, contrasting with the sharp texture and deep crevasses higher up the slope.

The Gulkana Glacier area has much to offer, including day-hiking, backpacking or mountaineering expeditions, or just a roadside view of the glacier.

Examples today of lenticular clouds over the Cerro Torre & Fitzroy. They appear to be moving real slow but in fact signal very high winds speeds.

Nice to see the very summit of Cerro Torre itself appearing in one of the images. The W face will be plastered with new snow but the E facing side that we can see here is so steep no snow can accumulate apart from the snow mushrooms adorning the summit slopes.

A woman with long brown hair, seen from behind, reaches up to touch very long, lime-green moss draping from the trunk of a bigleafed maple tree that is outrageously covered in various mosses, in a rain forest with sword ferns covering the ground. The photo is very green, with many shades of the color.

Funny thing happened. I hike with snake gaiters. And I had a carabineer hanging on the right side of the one on the right. Somehow it slowly worked its way around my leg, then completely and totally latched both gaiters together while I was hiking. I went down hard. Took a fair bit of damage.

Managed to finish the 11 mile hike, the bleeding eventually stopped, and my limp is hardly noticeable. But the most important part: My wife has no idea. She just sees my pictures 😛.

A mushroom growing through fallen leaves.
Dirt trail through green ferns. It looks like Spring, not Winter!
Small mushrooms in the grass
Dirt trail through a woodland. There's what I think is a liquid amber tree on the right adding a splash of orange to what's otherwise a green scene.

Today's hike up the Janes Creek loop. A gorgeous sunny day for a hike after all the recent storms.

Mt Rainier in the snow. Path across Grand Park on the North side of the peak, last weekend. For #FootpathFriday #hiking #PNW #getoutside
Wide shot of a set of footprints in the snow leading across a snowy flat meadow. Small islands of dark conifer trees apparent in the middle distance. On the horizon, an immense snow capped volcanic peak. Mackerel type clouds overhead in an otherwise blue sky

I hiked a large sand dune for the first time yesterday. What a unique experience! Quite a slog, hiking straight up the side to reach the ridge. A surprise with the challenge of walking the ridge— didn’t expect it to be so sharp. The drop-off on each side looked steeper/scarier than it actually was. A fun time! Bruneau Sand Dunes (Idaho)— 470 feet (143m) base-to-peak elevation change. #MountainMonday #hiking #nature

Photo of hiker standing at peak of ridge as viewed from the ridge. View is from the ridge looking toward the sun which is also in the pic. Footprints are seen in foreground on ridge.
Photo of sand dunes as viewed from the ridge. Most of the sand dunes can be seen from this view which is taken from one end of the ridge. The ridge is seen curving left and right and up and down with the sand dropping steeply from each side of ridge. A small lake is seen at the base on the left. Blue sky overhead. I took this pic looking away from the sun.
Similar type of pic as in upper right pic, but view from opposite end of sand dunes looking back into the sun. From this view the lake at the base is at the right side. The multiple peaks of the ridgeline can be seen from this view.
Photo of section of sand dunes as viewed from the base from far side of lake. The lake is seen in foreground as well as some vegetation. Blue sky overhead with white clouds.

My take for #FootpathFriday from our vacation in the #schwarzwald / #blackforest Iast year.

#hiking in the chill rain can be a bit of a challenge. But for photography it can be pretty cool.

#nature #naturephotography #forest

A narrow, winding trail meanders through a dense, misty forest, its path carpeted with a thick layer of vibrant green moss. Towering trees, their trunks dark and sturdy, rise high above, their branches intertwining to form a natural canopy that filters the soft, diffused light. The air is cool and damp, filled with the earthy scent of moss, pine, and the faint hint of mist that lingers among the trees. The forest floor is a lush tapestry of moss-covered rocks and fallen branches, their surfaces softened by layers of velvety green. The trail, though narrow, is inviting, leading deeper into the heart of the forest where the mist adds an air of mystery and tranquility. Sunlight struggles to penetrate the thick foliage, casting dappled shadows and creating an atmosphere of serene solitude. This enchanting scene evokes a sense of peaceful isolation, as if stepping into another world where time slows and nature’s quiet beauty takes center stage. The forest feels ancient and untouched, a sanctuary for those seeking refuge in the embrace of the natural world.
