Ailsa’s travel-themed photo challenge this week is Mountains.
Hmmm… The water that we kayak on is usually horizontal and the waves are usually not mountainous. So I don’t have many photos of mountains.
I have visited the Alps and the Rockies. But I’ve found that I like best the smaller mountain ranges that, with perhaps no more than a thousand feet of elevation, still look and feel like real mountains. You can climb them in the morning and still be back below for supper. Yet up there, you still have those sharp peaks, precipitous slopes, and—especially when the mist rolls in—that exposed, lonely thrill. And when the mist clears, there are sunlit views far into the lowlands, even as far as the sea.
Love mountain photos. Great work!

I love how the clouds or even the sky seem to touch the mountains, as if mountains are the way to Heaven and we only have to climb…
Beautiful photos!
