“What we get from this adventure is just sheer joy. And joy is, after all, the end of life. We do not live to eat and make money. We eat and make money to be able to enjoy life. That is what life means and what life is for.” / / George Mallory / / Panorama of the Mount Everest massif from Kala Patthar, Nepal Himalaya / / The impressive mountain peaks of Nuptse (right) and Everest (right of centre).

The Highest Snag was painted from memory. I used to ride the mountains of North Idaho, and, if I started very early, I could reach the summit of one or another of the Selkirks to watch day break. The rise of the morning sun would bring the mist to rise from the valleys and mountains below me, one of the most wondrous events of the North Idaho wilderness, the mist rising and peeling off the hills to rise as foggy clouds, wisps of moisture dissipating as the sun rose higher and higher. One of my favorite vistas was near this very, very large, tall larch snag. The base of that old snag was located a good 100 yards below me, unreachable because of the steep terrain. It must have been a good two-and-a-half or three feet at its base when it died because the upper third of it was easily a foot and a half in diameter. Sometimes an eagle would land on one of its branches as the mare cropped mountain grasses, me sitting quietly on her back, just enjoying the clean, brisk air, the quiet, the view, and being with my best friend, my horse.

Near the Piazza del Duomo in Florence, Italy, lies this stunning tower. I fell in love with Italy there and then.

The world can be seen from the top of Mt Ossa – Tasmania’s highest mountain. / The climb up to the top of this majestic mountain can be just as rewarding. The Cradle Mountain Lake St Clair National Park is most famous for the mountain for which the park shares its name. / It is a park that is also widely known for one of the great bushwalks of the world – the Overland Track. / In Winter 2007 I spent nine days traversing the entire park with all my camera gear. I was blessed with exceptional weather for that time of year. / This image gives the size of the boulders some scale. They are huge! / The day was perfect, the skies were really that blue, and the view from the summit was nothing short of spectacular. / That’s me in the image, with my camera around my neck and a day pack on my back. (Tripod, lenses, safety gear, lunch…) Dimensions: 3008×2000 pixels. How much detail is there in my images? / This image has an example If you like this, you’ll probably like / my other images.

Please remember to thank our veterans today on this national holiday. Heck, even if you do not live in the US, thank your Veterans in your respective nation for their service. Even most never receive the highest military honor granted, they and their families have sacrificed in many ways to defend their nation from harm. To all Veterans out there, “Thank You” from a fellow vet. Image taken from headstone of CASSIDY, MICHAEL Rank and Organization: Landsman, U.S. Navy. Born: 1837, Ireland. Accredited To: New York. G.O. No.: 45, 31 December 1864. Citation: Served on board the U.S.S. Lackawanna during successful attacks against Fort Morgan, rebel gunboats and the ram Tennessee, in Mobile Bay, 5 August 1864. Displaying great coolness and exemplary behavior as first sponger of a gun, Cassidy, by his coolness under fire, received the applause of his officers and the guncrew throughout the action which resulted in the capture of the prize ram Tennessee and in the destruction of batteries at Fort Morgan. /

Bridges are often considered to belong to the engineer’s realm rather than the architect’s. But the architecture of infrastructure has a powerful impact on the environment. The Millau Viaduct, designed in collaboration with engineers, illustrates how the architect can play an integral role in bridge design. Located in southern France, the bridge will connect the motorway from Paris to Barcelona at the point where it is interrupted by the River Tarn, which runs through a wide gorge between two plateaus. A reading of the topography suggested two possible approaches: to cross the river, the geological generator of the landscape; or there was the challenge of spanning the 2.5 kilometers from one plateau to the other in the most economical manner. / The structural solution follows from the latter philosophical standpoint. The bridge has the optimum span between cable-stayed columns. It is delicate, transparent, and uses the minimum material, which makes it less costly to construct. Each of its sections spans 350 meters and its columns range in height from 75 meters to 235 meters – higher than the Eiffel Tower – with the masts rising a further 90 meters above the road deck. To accommodate the expansion and contraction of the concrete deck, each column splits into two thinner, more flexible columns below the roadway, forming an A-frame above deck level. This structure creates a dramatic silhouette – and crucially it makes the minimum intervention in the landscape.

Nikon D40, Nikkor VR 55-200mm lens / October 10, 2009 / Mt. Washington, New Hampshire / Guided Tour to the mountaintop / First shot on entering the building / Condensation on lens The tour guide and van driver warned us that on the top of the mountain we would experience the Artic, but nothing could have prepared us for the unbeleivable contrast of seasons between the base and the summit! We drove in our own car to the 4000ft limit in May 2008 but it was nothing comparable to taking this guided tour on the auto route to the peak at this time of year. Several days before the route had been closed due to poor visibility and extreme weather conditions. As we drove up, the fog and clouds settled around us. Alternatively to the right was an unfenced drop off of thousands of feet and to the left a rock cut, and for each thousand feet there was a dramatic difference in the natural environment eventually becoming what I can only describe as something that looked like a moonscape covered with snow. When we reached the pinnacle of our trip upwards, the van stopped within a few feet of the entrance to the building. Visibility was poor to say the least as we were now standing in a low lying cloud with dense fog surrounding us! My camera initially was firmly grasped in both hands but once I realized it was covered with beads of water from the airborne moisture, I hurriedly tucked into my parka. (I had read about the snow and cold conditions and was at least prepared with appropriate clothing compared to some of the other passengers.) My husband grabbed my elbow and guided me towards the door. It was difficult to stand up outside with the winds howling at 50 miles per hour in freezing temperatures. Four young women dressed in hoodies and jeans braved the elements and followed a path to an observation deck over the side of the mountain. Later on the trip back down, they told me they had to hold onto each other for dear life so as not to slip on the ice. Once on the deck theycould not see anything but a wall of white. We, however, remained inside where it was cozy and warm, and we had a museum, a cafeteria and a boutique to visit. So this shot is one of few I took that morning, my first impression. And truthfully represents what it looked like from the inside outside. A white sheet of fog! / The journey down is another story! / Suffice to say coming down in white out conditions is a scary undertaking especially when one knows what is hidden on both sides of the van and when one understands the consequences of just a few feet of miscalculation. / I am not a fan of fridge magnets but I have proudly affixed mine to the refrigerator door and it says:’Ive been up Mt. Washington Auto Road’. And to the top and back I might add! Mount Washington is the highest peak in the Northeastern United States at 6,288 ft (1,917 m). It is famous for its dangerously erratic weather, holding the record for the highest wind gust directly measured at the Earth’s surface, at 231 mph (372 km/h) on the afternoon of April 12, 1934.

“In the little Harbour town of (Hennebont) France, this Church Boasts one of the highest door entrance’s in France at a height of 60feet”, / “According to long-standing tradition, Mary, Martha, Lazarus and some companions, who were expelled by persecutions from the Holy Land, traversed the Mediterranean in a frail boat with neither rudder nor mast and landed at Saintes-Maries-de-la-Mer near Arles. Provençal tradition names Lazarus as the first bishop of Marseille, while Martha purportedly went on to tame a terrible beast in nearby Tarascon. Pilgrims visited their tombs at the abbey of Vézelay in Burgundy. In the Abbey of the Trinity at Vendôme, a phylactery was said to contain a tear shed by Jesus at the tomb of Lazarus. The cathedral of Autun, not far away, is dedicated to Lazarus as Saint Lazaire.”
