A snowy mountain with a very uneven surface, visible between two other peaks, the tops of which are not shown. The lumpy mountain is showing patches of dark rock amongst the snowfields. There is clear sky immediately above it, and a grey cloudbank above that.

A lovely pyramidal mountain under a cloudy sky with blue patches. It's almost completely snow-covered with ridges of dark rock showing through. One edge of the flank is running towards the viewpoint, enhanced by light from the left. In the foreground is a river running away from the viewer.

The image depicts a stunning mountainous landscape with a prominent peak in the center, characterized by sharp, jagged rock formations and steep slopes. The mountains are covered with patches of green vegetation, indicating a mix of rocky and vegetated terrain. A serene, dark blue lake is nestled in the foreground, surrounded by lush greenery, adding a contrasting element to the rugged mountains. The background features a clear blue sky and a body of water, possibly an ocean or a fjord, which extends to the horizon. The sunlight casts shadows on the mountains, highlighting their texture and depth. The overall scene is a picturesque representation of a natural, untouched environment, showcasing the beauty of the landscape.

Small evening hike.

The image depicts a serene landscape featuring a calm lake surrounded by lush green mountains. The water is remarkably still, creating a perfect mirror image of the surrounding scenery, including the mountains and the sky. The mountains are steep and rugged, with patches of greenery and exposed rock, indicating a natural, untouched environment. The vegetation on the mountains is dense, with trees and shrubs covering the slopes. The sky is partly cloudy, with soft, diffused light suggesting either early morning or late afternoon. In the foreground, there is a small patch of grass and a few young plants, with a narrow path leading towards the water's edge. The overall color palette is dominated by greens, blues, and earthy tones, contributing to the tranquil atmosphere of the scene.

Troll Peninsula

February, my birthday. We spent the day on the road between Varmahlíð and Akureyri through dramatic Tröllaskagi in northern #Iceland.

2pm and we've reached Krókárdalur, a lovely river canyon with hiking trails.
2:30, wisps of cloud hiding in the folds of Kaldbaksdalur.
3pm, a farm nestled on the flanks of the wonderfully named Gloppufjall.
3:15, we reach Öxnadalur with conical Hraundrangi towering above.

A mountain ridge with a distinctive conical centre peak, all lit from the left. The foreground is a road cleared through deep snow towards some farm buildings. There are bare trees scattered about, some in obviously planted lines. It's quite serene.

Another snowy mountain flank with the same intense blue sky above. The folds in the mountainside are accentuated by the light from the right. Some farm buildings are standing on the flank, lending scale. The foreground snow field is smooth and untrammelled, with fence posts half-buried in it.

Another snowy mountain flank, this time with an unseen river running through it. The sky still cloudy but the valley is sunlit from the left. Dark rock strata are showing through the snow and ice. In a cleft of the valley, some wispy cloud is hanging, its top lit by the sun.

A colour photo of a mountainous landscape under a slightly cloudy sky. The peaks rise on either side of a road with side barriers in places due to the sheer drop. Stretching ahead of the viewpoint is a valley, zigzagging into the distance. The entire scene is covered in snow with dark rock showing through. The sky is intense cyan blue.

Now that I'm back from vacation and people who saw my status images say "how did you carry your equipment up the hills!? " - No need to do that.
I have a complete Sony DSLR equipment, used it 20 years, but do not need it anymore, all shots are taken with a mid class xiaomi mobile phone.🤷‍♂️

But learning to take pictures with manual settings for so many years was the best training for me and my sense of perspective. Let's reduce now, I'm ready.

The image depicts a breathtaking mountainous landscape under a clear blue sky with scattered clouds. In the foreground, a person is sitting on a rocky outcrop, providing a sense of scale to the vastness of the scene. The mountains are covered in lush green vegetation, with steep, rugged slopes and sharp peaks. A winding river or fjord cuts through the valley, reflecting the sunlight and adding a serene element to the rugged terrain. The sunlight casts shadows on the mountains, highlighting their texture and depth. The overall scene conveys a sense of tranquility and natural beauty, with the person appearing small against the grandeur of the landscape.
