A view, right after the rain. The clouds were so down making us feel to be in a hill station.
Two photos are merged here.
It was just before sunset and we returned to the Galena Territory for food and rest after a day of adventure.
Horseshoe Mound Preserve features a central gathering area, viewing scopes, and scenic outlooks with views across three states. Hiking trails extend throughout the property and offer panoramic views of the city of Galena, distant views of Bellevue and Dubuque in Iowa, the Mississippi River, and several other geological mounds in Iowa and Wisconsin.

Thanks for viewing my photo albums:
I've been meaning to visit View_Boston, at the top of Boston's Prudential building, and the conditions this morning looked promising. I was hoping for a few more clouds, but the sunset was still pretty good. There was a crowd of tourists taking cellphone photos to my left and right as I took this shot. Fenway Park is visible in the center of the image; they'd just turned the lights on there, despite there being no baseball game.
Of the sunrise in the Llanberis pass with the mist lingering over the Eryri mountains and over llyn padarn.
Morning view from the balcony of our holiday home in the Neckar valley in Pleutersbach. The River Neckar is visible when you zoom in, behind the houses. the water looks so green it blends with the surrounding woods.
Blick vom Dreisessel im Bayerischen Wald über das Nebelmeer bis zu den Alpen (ca. 120 km)
View from 'Dreisessel' in the Bavarian Forest over a sea of fog to the Alps (about 120 km)
Absolutely a bucket list place to visit. Taken from the Mike O’Callaghan-Pat Tillman bridge. Walking across the bridge was an adventure in itself!
We missed the open tours by a couple weeks as they were still closed from Covid restrictions.
I would absolutely go back for that, this place has both history and magic about it, quite the marvel.
View from a vantage point at Malalison Island, Antique of the Sulu Sea and Panay Island. We hiked to the highest hill at Malalison at 6AM to get this view. We were planning to come back here at sundown for a sunset view but it rained in the afternoon to early evening.
Another road shot from Georgia (www.flickr.com/photos/115540984@N02/49104292301/in/datepo...), although here we stepped out, and spend an hour or so to view this!
This probably is the most spectacular road pass that I saw in my whole life. The Gudauri pass is on the way to Kasbegi (more to come on that area later), but it was not an easy shot to make.
It took me awhile to figure out how to get rid of the sun that was getting into my lens, and the rather flat light that I saw on my finder.
I finally made an HDR composition (three shots with different light settings) and in 35 mm .The rest I did at home. The result is more a less how I saw it in real. The red in the mountain that is in the back came back to life.
Two months ago I came back from my journey over a part of the Silk Road to and through Central Asia. 4 months of traveling through 14 countries (Germany, Austria, Hungary, Romania, Turkey, Georgia, Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan, Kirgizstan, Tajikistan, Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan, Iran) before I flew home from Teheran. An impressive journey in countries that are extremely beautiful, with lovely and welcoming people and diverse cultures and history.
Intense traveling with more than 20000 kilometers in our mobile home on sometimes roads that hardly could be called that way. We saw many villages and cities (some wonderful, others very ugly), countries that are transforming from the old Soviet era into something more related to older cultures and the way people live, often funded by oil readily available around the Caspian sea. We saw the amazing mountains south of the Black Sea, the wonderful Caucasus, and the high mountains in the far east close to China with peaks over 7000 meter, and not to forget the (Bulgarian) Alps!
We crossed the great steppe of Kazakhstan. a drive of at least 5000 km, the remnants of lake Aral, once one of the biggest lakes of the world, saw a rocket launch from Baikonur (this little part is Russian owned), we crossed many high mountains passes, and drove the breathtaking canyon that comes from the Pamir, beginning at ca 4500 meter, and going down for ca. 400km to an altitude of 1300 meter, driving for 100's of kilometers along the Afghan border.
And then the numerous lakes with all sorts of different colors from deep cobalt blue to turquoise, and one rare spectacle in Turkmenistan where a gas crater is burning already for more than 40 years. And finally and certainly not the least to mention an enormous amount of wonderful, hospitable and welcoming people. The woman often dressed in wonderful dresses, and bringing a lot of color in the streets of almost of all countries we visited.
