You see here a part from The Cime in the Dolomites. A photo Rock gives us to for editing in our way. What we would leave or hidden.
I have the app Snapseed for the editing. First i have crob the photo that have only the mountains and a little bit fore ground.Than I have almost all the tools Snapseed gives and play with it. From the three versions I have this comes more to what I wanted.i sky with some light and the mist around the tops from the mountain. So they stand dark at the sky. And the lines on the mountain on the right are lit up.

Tuesday evening at Blue Lake in the North Cascades. The last sunlight lit up the rocky spires of the Liberty Bell Group, with golden larches surrounding the lake. I was really glad I stayed long enough to see the mountains light up like this. 🍂🏔️ #GoldenLarches #LandscapePhotography
Jagged granite spires of the Liberty Bell Group glow orange in the last evening sunlight above Blue Lake in the North Cascades. Golden larches and dark evergreen trees cover the rocky slopes below. The calm, deep blue lake reflects the forest and a large mountain on the right. A tall golden larch frames the left foreground beneath a pale blue sky. The scene feels peaceful and still.

A hazelnut with disheveled bracts rests on a wooden surface. The focus is on the central nut, while the tendrils and the forest-green background are rendered out of focus. The image shows natural brown tones on the nut and wood, as well as cool green tones in the background.

The discourse on various social media platforms is beginning to more and more resemble a 1960s COINTELPRO operation—it seems that ‘divide and conquer’ is still a viable strategy. I am in no way denigrating the importance of the issues being discussed—it’s the timing that I find interesting…

#31DaysOfOctober My favorite spooky photo. An oak tree with a wooden swing hanging from a branch in the hills of San Luis Obispo. #ECK #ClassicMono #Hiking #Halloween #Spooky #OakTree #WestCoastKin
A darkish black and white image of a large, old oak tree that has twisted and gnarled branches. It stretches wide in all directions and is growing on a hillside covered with dead leaves. There is morning fog which makes the tree look mysterious and adds depth to the tree and space. A wooden swing tied with rope hangs from the tree, light reflecting off the wooden seat.

Layers of mountain ridges fading into the haze at Chinook Pass, WA. I like how the farther ridges become softer and bluer, creating a strong sense of depth. #LandscapePhotography #PacificCrestTrail #MountainPhotography
Layered mountain ridges fade into blue-gray haze near Sheep Lake along the Pacific Crest Trail, with each distant ridge becoming softer and lighter in tone. Evergreen-covered slopes frame the valley under a pale sky. The scene feels quiet and expansive.

A muted colour photo of three trees, two birch (right, front and back) and one maybe birch (left, middle), in a grassy field with more trees beyond. Fog softens the scene in the background.

we all have toolboxes to make repairs except we were forced to gather these implements on the playgrounds in just living in the workforce on the streets on the worldwide web so we add more tools and wonder when others will understand a desolate human condition called Survivor #Poetry #Resistance

I arrived at Tipsoo Lake before sunrise and found Mount Rainier reflected almost perfectly in the calm water. I photographed this during blue hour. I really liked the cooler tones, along with the grasses in the foreground leading into the reflection.
Mount Rainier rises above Tipsoo Lake during blue hour, reflected in calm water beneath a cool blue sky. Dark evergreen trees frame the mountain, while grasses along the shoreline add depth in the foreground. The scene feels quiet and still before sunrise.

That Tree. Early in my reconnection with photography and my first digital camera I shot the Wānaka tree. Sadly these days it possesses less limbs than in this image, but continues to sit proudly in the water. The LE image was taken in the last light of the day. #photography

A photo of a highway going west to Portland Oregon. The photo shows a damp road with trees on each side, in front and in the background on the foggy mountains. I took this a year ago and it remains my favorite.

The image shows part of the Mont Blanc massif. On the left is the Aiguille Noire du Peutèrey (3,773 m), on the right the south-east face of Mont Blanc (4,807 m), and in the centre the Brenva Glacier. At the bottom, the Dora di Val Veny stream flows through the rocks, and all around there is sparse coniferous vegetation.
