A morbid history of St. John’s… the hill in the background is known as Gibbets Hil, it is where all the criminals were hung in public executions. The body of water at the base of the hill is where the executioner would throw the bodies when they were dead. The pond is known as “Dead Man’s Pond”. / / Visit my website On The Rock Photography / /

“The air that was rushing into my lungs was icy cold. The climb to the top was slow and exhausting. I hitched my backpack over my shoulder trying to ease the weight somewhat. As we reached the summit I knew with one glance that it was all worth it….........” / Macro photograph from a rock! /

Taken on Saturday May 17 2008 at the 4000ft level of Mt Washington, New Hampshire USA. Mt Washington is the highest peak in the Presidential range of the White Mountain National Forest. We experienced the Mt.Washington Auto Road, which is America’s oldest manmade attraction. It first opened in 1861. / It was explained that the trees at this altitude are buffeted by the wind and assume strange twisted positions.

Taken on Highway 16 North in the White Mountain National Forest, New Hampshire, USA on Saturday May 17, 2008. The view is looking towards Mt Washington, the highest peak on the Eastern seaboard. We took the Auto Drive Route up the mountain when we arrived there but it does not resemble this road in any way. It is treacherous, with shear drop offs on each side, just room enough for two cars, but they ask that people coming down the mountain yield to travellers going up. The top 4000 ft of the mountain was off limits due to weather conditions: snow and ice, but will open later in the season. /

Taken at the 4000ft level of Mt Washington, part of the presidential range of the the White Mountain National Forest, New Hampshire USA on Saturday May 17th 2008. It was a beautiful day, but much colder at this level. The top additional 4000ft was closed to tourists due to weather conditions: ice and snow, but will open later in the season. All I could think of was John Denver’s song: Rocky Mountain High becaue that is exactly how I felt, exhilirated to be there. It is not the Rockies but the highest elevation I have been so far! Top ten placement in the Your Magic Place challenge, New Hampshire group November 2009

Location: / Barham, Kent, England Map: / Google Maps Date and Time: / 17 June 2008, 7.53 p.m. Camera details: / ISO 200 : f/5.6 : 1/125 second : 18mm : Nikon D40 : Nikon 18-55mm lens Shot narrative: / Devoid of rocks to clamber across, I was feeling just far too sensible, so I decided to climb a tree with one hand (the other holding the camera of course – so Mr Oubridge – no tripod used!) so that I could get it from a different angle.

views: 433 / favs: 15 Image straight from the camera. Taken on January 11, 2009 with an Olympus FE-340 It was the first day of the year that the weather in London was beautiful so I spent the day outdoor walking through the parks, and the squirrels are very friendly. This particular shot was in Green Park. While I was trying to set-up my camera to take a photo, this little guy suddenly climbed up my leg! (I missed the opportunity to take its picture while it was there) I looked down at it, and it looks to the side as though saying “I didn’t do anything…” (see image in first comment), then it runs behind me and tries to climb up my knapsack; then runs in front me, spirals up the pole and pokes its head to the side going “Peek-a-boo!” After it climbed down I brought my hand out. It grabbed my finger for a little while, but took off before I could get a picture then :-( ... But atleast I captured the funny Peek-a-boo moment! The light and dark areas in the eye may look like the iris and the sclera of the eye, but that is actually caused by reflections; The dark bit at the bottom left corner of the eye is a reflection of myself with the camera:

This is the 360 degree panorama I was hoping to get from the summit of Island Peak or Imja Tse. I can’t believe how small Ama Dablam looks from up here (6814m, at the centre). Mighty Makalu (8462m) rises above the ridge at the left, and the confluence of the Lhotse Shar, Amphu Laptse, and Imja Glaciers and the Imja Tso glacial lake can be seen below Lapste to the left of the main Island Peak (Imja Tse) ridge in the middle. In the distance just beyond the Island Peak ridge is the rest of the Imja Drengka valley and the villages of Chukhung and Dingboche. To the right of the valley the stunning peaks of Tawoche and Arakamptse stand tall above the glacial flows of the Nuptse, Lhotse Nup and Lhotse Glacier. These glaciers slowly flow from the snow and ice that falls on the giant Nuptse-Lhotse Wall, with the peak of Lhotse, the 4th highest mountain on Earth rising to an incredible 8516m at the right. The distance in altitude from the summit of Island Peak and the top of Lhotse is more than 2300m, which means you could slide the whole of Australia at its highest point, horizontally, between the two summits with room to move. Australia is indeed flat, and these mountains are indeed the largest in the world… what a privilege to have been here. The panorama is a composite of 18 photos taken with a Canon 400D using a 17-85mm IS USM lens with circular polarising filter. Featured in “Panoramas”

In the past few weeks I was lacking any motivation to go out with my camera and come back with some decent shots. The worst thing was that I didn’t even have an idea what to photograph… On Wednesday I went for a 51km cycling round through the miountains surrounding Innsbruck, and guess what – I came back with one or two ideas for new photos. So yesterday I drove up to the Axamer Lizum, a well know skiing area in winter, but quite forgotten about in summer. so here’s the result, a six shots panorama of the mountain scenery of the Axamer Lizum. the mountains in the pano are (left to right): / Saile (Nockspitze) > Schneiderspitze > Ampferstein > Marchreisenspitze Canon EOS 40D / Sigma 10-20 EX DC HSM / Hoya ND8 filter / tripod

cycling season is over for me, so there’s more time to head up into the mountains and enjoy the Austrian landscape… so I went for a hike yesterday in the area around Kühtai (Tirol’s highest village at 2.020m) and headed up towards Gaiskogel (2.820m). / it’s not really a hard climb, the first 500m up are fairly easy as the lead along a skiing-slope. only the last part is getting a bit more strenuous, as one has to climb up a steep boulder field. this brings you to the so called Gaiskogelscharte (2.658m) and from there it’s a short way to the Gaiskogel itself. anyway, this pano was taken pretty much halfway between Gaiskogelscharte and Gaiskogel at approx. 2.720m. straight ahead you can see the Rotkogel and the Räuhengrat and looking to the left one can see the Kraspesferner (small glacier) with the Rotgrubenspitze (3.042m). as I was carrying quite some equipment and it was already getting late, I decided to turn around at this point and not continue to the top (appr. another 25min), but instead take a small detour to a reservoir and take some photos there as well….
