Mt Washington and Monroe via Ammonoosuc Ravine Trail, Twin Mountain, NH
cross-posted from: https://lemmy.world/post/34923760
Hard, 9.96 mi loop
4,373 ft elevation gain
Hiked 8/7/25
The tallest peak in the NE and second on the eastern seaboard, there are a variety of ways to get to the summit. This route provides varying scenery and a good section of the AT. Although it didn't pan out with the clouds, the sunset route down Jewell is the play, just don't forget your headlamp.
A neat looking transition from the sloped exposed rock to a more defined boulder stairs path. Small waterfall flowing along the watershed.
From one peak to another. Mt Washington as seen from the peak of Mt Monroe. Well defined trail may be seen climbing its way towards the top.
The moon over mont blanc
The yellow moon rolling over Mont Blanc with lac leman in the foreground. Wish i had a better camera.
Suspension
A tiny bit of dead leaf suspended in a drop of water that hangs from a spiderweb.
Dragonfly
Real colours, i didn't even know dragonflies can be pink until i encountered this one (pic taken in Khao Yai national park, Thailand).
Dancing in fresh snow.
Fun fact - the pic was shot in colour, it isn't b&w.

Waterhole Slot Canyon
Everyone has seen Antelope Canyon on their Windows login screens it whatever but just a few miles away, you can visit Waterhole canyon, which is bigger and quieter. A guide was and to let me spend as much time as I wanted seeing up and getting my shots, a luxury I did not have at the more famous location. My pictures came out ok but the experience was worth it.
Nikon D750 W/ Sigma 12-24mm 2.8
\
1/8 sec f/18 iso100 (??? what was I thinking)
Haleakala Milky Way
24mm 13 sec f/2.8 iso3600
Driving all the way up to the top of Haleakala gets you to slightly over 10,000ft (3,000m) above the island of Maui. After sunset and when I thought it sufficiently dark, I started working on this shot.
I was extremely lucky to get clear skies and minimal wind on the evening of my visit. This particular shot also includes a comet in the top-right corner, a few satellites which I tried to clean up, and some lights (headlights?) which illuminated the observatory at the top of this long-extinguished volcano.
