I forgot about #ForestFriday for a while. This was a few days ago in Cruagh Woods. I keep coming back to this but not sure why. It's not like it's a great pic or anything. I think it's the complexity of it that attracts me. #hiking #outdoors #nature #photography #scape #landscape #Ireland
A view up into the trees on a bright spring morning. The sky is barely visible due to the number of tree branches creating complex overlapping patterns. Some of the branches towards the left have a interesting purple hue. Not sure if it was the morning light or actually a lens aberration :)

Who fancies waking up to this? Come camping on our farm and wake up to the best view in Wales (in our very humble opinion!) #wales #camping #wildcamping

How beautiful and chaotic tree branches can be! #RichmondPark #AwesomeFoursome
Large branches on an old tree trail down towards the brown grass on the ground - the limbs lit up in the morning sun.A gnarly tree-trunk in the early morning sun.Close up of the utter chaos of many branches of some trees.Lots of branches come off a large tree trunk

This is what we stand to lose if our public lands don't have trail crews. They are the ones who clear paths of fallen trees , repair washouts and bridges, remove rockfall, cut back brush, and make trails passable. We need them! Grand Teton National Park #nationalparks #publiclands #hiking #trails
A trail leads toward the snow-covered peak tops of the Tetons. Green plants, bushes, and trees surround the trail.

Camp Sunday morning. An interesting trip. Substack/blog post coming up in the next few days and possibly a video (haven't seen what I took yet!).

A man (the poster) in a check shirt and a green hat beside a green tent pitched on faded grass with brown heather slopes in the background and a blue sky with some streaks of cloud.

Oregon's Mt. Hood yesterday at sunset.
From a point east of Mt. Hood, the sky shows bands of high clouds glowing in shades of orange and yellow. Left of center is a snowcapped Mt. Hood, nearly completely white. Below it are shadowy forested hills and a faint view of the Columbia River.

Sunrise light on the rock arch at Hellnar - not easy to photograph, but a lot of fun to watch the waves crashing through :) #Iceland
A coastal scene with some dark jagged rock with some almost red sunrise light reflecting on it. In the foreground is the sea, and through the arch some waves have broken on the cliff walls, and are now receding.

Still wintry on Cairn Gorm
Stormy to the west Late February and the Cairngorms don’t look very wintry from afar. Only patches of snow can be seen. But the lack of snow...

Missing these views. Can't just pop down to the beach and hike along the lava clifftops :( #Iceland
Colourful and jagged cliffs along a coastline, with some mountains in the distance with some fog coming in over them. The sea is blue and crashing against the shore. There is some brown grass in the foreground and the rocks look brown in the sunshine.

The Canadian Rockies are home to some of this planet's most spectacular mountain scenery. Radiating clouds reflect the last light of day onto beautiful turquoise Peyto Lake & surrounding mountains. True to its name, the mountains of the Endless Chain end at the edge of the world. #photography

Camouflage, Iceland-style :)
A couple stand back-to-back in front of a frozen lake, each taking photos. They are both wearing lopapeysas (Icelandic wool sweaters) and matching hats. They seem to blend in with the mountains behind which are partially covered in snow.

I walked the West Highland Way in 1994 (I think). I would love to do it again, but after reading about the AT and PCT or even the Brooks Range, I want to do something bigger. What are your walking dreams? #backpacking #walking

Just soaking up the desert sunrises this week. Such a calming way to start the day. Usery Mountain Regional Park, AZ #sunrises #deserts #cacti
Sky colors have pink wisps of clouds above orange and rusts streaks. They backlight a large saguaro with many arms.

A little break in the cloud brightened up these basalt columns, along the cliffs at Arnarstapi #Iceland
Some long vertical basalt columns along a cliff edge, with some small eroded ones at the bottom with waves crashing over them. The long columns look golden as some sun shines on them; otherwise they're black.
