Lovely landscape captures, Soy. My favorite is Mount Rainer 🙂
Thanks, Hammad! Mount Rainier is one of my favorite local volcanoes. 😀
Wonderful collection of majestic mountains! I love them all but the one of Mount Rainier is my favorite.
Thank you! Yes, Mount Rainier was posing very well that day.
I love your photography!!! Do you live here in Oregon? I live in the La Grande Oregon area
Thank you! Yes, I live in Bend. I’ve traveled through La Grande before on the way to Joseph. Lots of pretty country around where you live!
Siobhan, what gorgeous mountain shots you selected for the challenge. These are beautiful landscape images.
Thanks, Egidio! Great prompt.
You’re welcome.
Great photos, thanks for sharing 😊
The Flaming Gorge National Recreation Area is my favourite, it reminds me of a place called Arthur’s seat in Edinburgh when I am originally from, so very nostalgic to see something similar pop up!
Thanks, Tyler! I looked up Arthur’s Seat, and those cliffs looked beautiful.
They are lovely if you ever get the chance to visit Edinburgh, it is an ancient dormant volcano. Climbing it isn’t so fun though 😂
Siobhan, you had me at Flaming Gorge! Then you kept piling on! Beautiful mountain shots!
Thanks, John! Glad you liked my gallery of mountains. 😁
I love mountain landscapes and you have such a variety here! The Painted Hills are beautiful and the last shot with the curve of the crops in the foreground works so well, but I think Mount Rainier is my favourite 🙂
Thanks, Sarah! I love mountain landscapes as well. The lighting and cloud cover over Mount Rainier was perfect for pictures that day. 😀
A beautiful variety of great mountains over there! Thank you for taking us! Mount Rainier…
Thank you, Ann-Christine! Glad you liked my tour of the mountains.
Beautiful!
Thanks, John!
Stunning locations and beautifully captured. Mt. Shasta is my favourite 🙂
Thank you, Sofia! Glad you liked my photo of Mt. Shasta going by in a blur.
Loved all of these Siobhan but my favorite is Mt. Rainier – the snowy crest against the clouds is magical
Thanks, Tina! There’s a reason I always get a window seat when I fly past Rainier. 😄
These are just lovely, the scenes are beautiful captured. my favorite is Mount Rainier, Mount Rainier National Park, Washington
Thanks, Ritva! The Mount Rainier photo seems to be a lot of people’s favorite. It was a perfect time to photograph it.
Definitely need to add Utah to my list of places to visit!
Yeah, there’s definitely lots to see there!
