I just launched a new Gallery! The Drakensberg, South Africa. 🌍⛰️

This is the first time I'm sharing something like this to #Mastodon. I hope you all enjoy it :D

In March of 2024 I ventured with 5 others on the biggest trip of my life. Backpacking 🥾 a portion of South Africas mountains. We spent 6 days at 3000m asl photographing the landscape.

But in the climbing ecstasy of thought,
Ere consummation, ere the final peak,
Come hours like this…

—Nan Shepherd, “Summit of Coire Etchachan”

Today, 11 December, is International Mountain Day

Summit of Coire Etchachan
Nan Shepherd

But in the climbing ecstasy of thought,
Ere consummation, ere the final peak,
Come hours like this. Behind, the long defile,
The steep rock-path, alongside which, from under
Snow-caves, sharp-corniced, tumble the ice-cold waters.
And now, here, at the corrie’s summit, no peak,
No vision of the blue world, far, unattainable,
But this grey plateau, rock-strewn, vast, silent,
The dark loch, the toiling crags, the snow;
A mountain shut within itself, yet a world,
Immensity. So may the mind achieve,
Toiling, no vision of the infinite,
But a vast, dark and inscrutable sense
Of its own terror, its own glory and power.

Olympic National Park: Gladys Divide

Started the morning with a push toward Gladys. Impressed by the clear green waters of Flapjack Lakes. Amazed by the gray rocky cliffs along the divide. Found a boot path to summit Mount Gladys. Great experience even with the clouds. It was incredibly hot and humid after reentering the rainforest, something I’m not used to. Big Log camp had a little breeze and few bugs.

A gray rocky mountain peak overlooks a grassy alpine meadow with a small pond along a mountain pass. A row of tall green trees stand between the mountain and meadow. Gray and white cloudy skies with a bit of blue showing through.

The majestic Mount Hood of Oregon towers above the serene Trillium Lake, which perfectly mirrors the surrounding evergreen forest, clear sky, along with the mountain.
A wooden pier extends over the calm water, where small groups are gathered to take in the breathtaking landscape or fishing.

There's no highway, no smooth road to drive over, just this winding dirt path that looks like it will take its time to get to the foothills of the mountain.

But the mountain is pleased by the road, because it doesn't want crowds of cars parked at its feet. I suppose that mountains, in their rocky way, value a bit of privacy now and then, just as we do.

It is late January and at last the snow.
I lie back dreaming about Glencoe
as fluent, hungry, dressed in red,
you climb up and over me…

The Winter Climbing
Andrew Greig

It is late January and at last the snow.
I lie back dreaming about Glencoe
as fluent, hungry, dressed in red,
you climb up and over me. That passion
claimed the darkest, useless months
for risk and play. You rise
up on me, I rise through you ...

The shadowed face of Aonach Dubh
where Mal first took me climbing
and as we clanked exhausted, happy,
downwards through the dark, I asked
“What route was that?” “Call it
what you want – it’s new.”

You reach the top and exit out;
from way above, your cry comes down.
The rope pulls tight. What shall we call
this new thing we’re about?
These days we live in taking
care and chances. Why name it?
My heart is in my mouth as I shout Climbing ...

Managed to get a couple of shots of the picturesque Alki Point Lighthouse with Tahoma as the water taxi sped by West-Seattle the other day.

I always feel refreshed when I get out and away to a quiet, beautiful place. The issues of the day -- that turbulently revolving chatter and splatter of the latest things to fear and worry over -- get put into perspective when I am in a setting of silence.

Nature speaks, teaches, encourages, inspires.

Photograph of a large tree stripped of its leaves in winter, its lower branches curved upwards. The tree is backlit. Behind is a landscape of small mountains and hills covered in forest, the one behind higher and greyish, the one in front closer and lower, with green conifers and yellowish leafless trees, under a grey-blue sky.

Photographie d'un grand arbre dénudé de ses feuilles en hiver, dont les branches inférieures sont incurvées vers le haut. L'arbre est à contrejour. Derrière se trouve un paysage de petites montagnes et collines couvertes de forêt, celle derrière plus haute et grisâtre, celle devant plus près et basse, avec des conifères verts et des arbres sans feuilles jaunâtres, sous un ciel gris-bleu.

"Room With A View" ... A favorite of mine taken on top of #BlueKnob mountain several years back. The part I like is the feeling of early, early springtime! We're nearly through February, and that means spring is on it's way!!!
