While staying at Hurricane Ridge few days ago, we noticed these dramatic "pyrocumulus clouds" rolling over the Olympic Mountains and tracked their developments into the evening.They’re caused by the Bear Gulch wildfires near Lake Cushman at the Olympic National Park in WA state:  as the warm, moist air rises, it cools and condenses, forming these dramatic clouds.

While staying at Hurricane Ridge few days ago, we noticed these breathtaking "pyrocumulus clouds" rolling over the Olympic Mountains and tracked their developments throughout the evening. They’re caused by the Bear Gulch wildfires near Lake Cushman at the Olympic National Park in Washington state:  as the warm, moist air rises, it cools and condenses, forming these dramatic clouds.
The pink hue comes from sunset afterglow.

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.

Here's a little #MountainMonday for you from #KingsCanyonNationalPark at the top of #BlueCanyon close to #FingerPeak on the way over #HummingbirdPass

This was from back in July 2016 when my dad and I went on a little jaunt through the backcountry through some of his old wilderness ranger patrol district.

A backpacker walks towards distant lakes among large mountains above the treeline.

P.S if your country doesn’t have the freedom to roam https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freedom_to_roam there’s something inherently wrong.

Photo of a beach, blue skies, open water and trees in the distance. But the beach is covered in rotting seaweed brought in from the sea and lets just say you should be gald you can't smell a photo...

This is a black-and-white photograph of a dramatic alpine mountain landscape. In the foreground, you see a wide, open grassy meadow dotted with small wildflowers. A light-colored dirt path winds gently from the bottom left corner towards the right of the image. In the middle ground, a cluster of tall, dark evergreen trees stands on the left side. To the right, nestled at the edge of the meadow, are several buildings: a large, traditional chalet-style house with a dark roof and visible chimney, plus a smaller adjacent structure and an open-sided barn or shelter. A few vehicles, including what looks like a light-colored car or truck, are parked near the houses. Dominating the entire background is a massive, rugged mountain range. The peaks are sharp and rocky, with bright white patches of snow clinging to the ridges and crevices. Dark forested slopes covered in dense coniferous trees run down the mountainsides, and a few snow-filled gullies snake downward. A small, fluffy white cloud drifts near the left side of the mountain, partially hugging the rocky face. The sky above is clear and bright, giving the whole scene a calm, majestic, and slightly stark feeling because of the high-contrast black-and-white tones. The overall atmosphere feels peaceful, remote, and powerfully natural—like a quiet mountain farmstead at the foot of towering, snow-dusted peaks.

Well since it's #MountainMonday here is a panorama of Mt Rainier, Washington state. Seen here from Grand Park meadow on the North side of the National Park. Early November 2025.
#PNW #mountains #getoutside

A very wide panoramic view of a winter landscape. Dominating the horizon in the center is a massive e conical volcano covered in glaciers and snow. On the left nearby is a stand of stunted high elevation conifers with more trailing into the distance to the right. The whole foreground is flat white snow. The sky above is blue with some puffy clouds but the winter sun hasn't yet peeked over the trees on the left.

1/ As #winter in the #mountains winds down, I am concluding my fifth year of #snowshoeing in the mountains. So many great memories, so much to reflect. I began doing serious snowshoeing in the mountains around the peak of the pandemic (winter 2020/2021) when I needed to get outside. (CONT) #MountainMonday #PhotoMonday

Photo of me standing on mountain summit holding a pair of snowshoes. A distant mountain peak is behind me with snow-covered trail leading to it along the ridge. Gray overcast skies.

This photo was taken by a passing hiker at the summit of Little Haystack Mountain, White Mountains, New Hampshire. The neighboring mountain is Mt. Lincoln. February 25, 2025.

Edit: this Toot will get edited when new tags are shared.

A vintage-style sepia photograph, presented as if on a film strip with sprocket holes and artificial scratches, captures a concentrated moment. Cynni is crouching on natural, rocky terrain among sparse bushes at Burgers' Zoo, fully focused on framing a picture. They look intently through the viewfinder of a black Nikon Coolpix P500 digital bridge camera, which they hold firmly with both hands. Their expression is one of deep concentration as they peer through the lens. Their left arm, featuring a complex stylized text tattoo, is bent, and a few rings are visible on their fingers gripping the camera body. They wear a dark short-sleeved t-shirt, camouflage cargo pants, and a dark baseball cap with white sunglasses perched on top. A Nikon-branded camera strap hangs around their neck. The background is a natural-looking zoo enclosure with other blurred figures of visitors visible in the far distance. The composition is a candid, close-up shot emphasizing their focus.

Lovely (if rocky!) walk up Bishop Peak in SLO this morning. #MountainMonday #SanLuisObispo

Lush forest greenery between trees. A trail cuts through to the horizon showing somehow mountains at sunrise.

A descending grassy hill is replaced by urbanization on one side and more grassland on the other. Mountains and fog linger.

Trail with rocks hugs a cliff as it wraps around a turn. Small yellow flowers on the sides. A large prominent mountain dominates the valley beyond, grassy at the bottom, forest at the top.

A trail lined with boulders and brown grass passes under some large old oak branches with green leaves.

Citadel (2022)

I edited this image last night. I've been trying to crack it's puzzle for years and failed, struggling with it's colours and tones. I desperately wanted an epic shot here when I visited #Yukon in 2022, I'd scoured maps to find a suitable foreground for this peak. But, the weather didn't co-operate the day-of.

I am thrilled to finally share it.

#monochromemonday #mountainmonday #lpw #photography #mountains #monochrome #Canada #Canadianphographer #RealPhotosofRealPlaces

A narrow, gently curving river winds through a dense expanse of low tundra shrubs toward a perfectly symmetrical, cone-shaped mountain rising alone on the horizon under a dramatic, cloud-streaked sky. Rendered in black and white, the sinuous river lead-in, textured shrub vegetation, and the isolated geometric peak combine to create a strongly composed subarctic landscape.

Happy #MountainMonday everyone :)

Today I share a favourite from a trip years ago into the high mountains of the Assiniboine Range in #Canada during fall when the golden larches were at their absolute peak. The golden larches dotting the landscape in golden colouring at every turn.

Highly recommend backpacking this region. It is absolutely stunning.

#landscapephotography #landscape #photography #Mountains #lpw #RealPhotosofRealPlaces

A classic autumn alpine landscape featuring vivid golden larch trees surrounding a rocky, still lake that reflects a dramatic snow-dusted mountain peak under a partly cloudy sky. Scattered boulders fill the shallow foreground waters, leading the eye back toward the treeline and the imposing peaks beyond. The rich contrast between the brilliant yellow larches, grey rock faces, and fresh snow captures the brief but spectacular larch season in the Canadian Rockies.

Mount Monolith might be part of the most unique mountain ranges I've visited.

In the high northern Tundra these mountains weren't formed by your usual tectonic plates pushing up on each other, but by the volcanoes that erupted underneath ancient glaciers, freezing them in time as enormous black vertical walls, with column like pillars extending across the ridge lines.

#mountains #MountainMonday #Yukon #Canada #lpw #landscapephotography #photography

A massive dark cliff face with a crown of jagged, upward-thrusting rock spires fills the upper portion of the frame, its upper ridgeline partially swallowed by low cloud moving across from the right. A rounded, lichen-covered scree ridge in the foreground is lit by a shaft of pale light, its yellow-green tones contrasting sharply with the dark, brooding rock face rising steeply behind it.

Iron Mine Hollow in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia.

The start of a new day, a new month, a new beginning.

#today #MountainMonday #ayearforart #gratitude

Wide Blue Ridge mountain landscape viewed from an overlook at Iron Mine Hollow on the Blue Ridge Parkway with two forested ridges framing a deep valley that stretches into the distance. A large lichen-covered boulder and dense green vegetation fill the foreground, while layered blue ridgelines fade along the horizon beneath a dramatic sky streaked with wispy clouds.

#MountainMonday #River #KrokodilRivier

A tranquil river flows through a lush landscape, reflecting the sky and surrounding mountains. Mist hovers over the water, with patches of greenery along the banks and sparse trees in the distance. The scene conveys a serene natural environment

#MountainMonday from almost exactly a decade ago. This is deep in the Kings Canyon National Park back country.

Can any mountain sleuths recognize where exactly this is?

Here's another hint: this area used to be popular with hunters and anglers before the park. There was a dude ranch a couple of basins away (that still exists although now it's just for the family that owns it rather than open to the public) that would horse pack people into this area. Down below treeline in the basin and canyon below there's also an acre garden planted centuries ago by the folks who lived here first. It's still full of species that are found on the east side of the Sierra Nevada but not in this part of the west side.

These days this whole basin might get 20 people a year visiting if that. The trails that once were busy now have mostly been erased from official maps. There are a couple of traverse routes into even more remote areas of the park and the adjoining Sierra National Forest that hosts the John Muir Wilderness which is the main draw for people into here.

(I know where it is so I can confirm if someone gets it right!)

A two person tent is set up amongst granite boulders and bedrock above the tree line with snow and big mountains visible in the background under a blue sky.
