Photo annual extravaganza

[SherpaKroto]

I think this is my favorite: Ed (ADK4487) on Mt. Colden. That was a geat trip!

Here is a shot from the swiss alps. This was taken last October on a loop hike from Wengen, over Manlichen. The Jungfrau glacier is just to the left of this photo, with the Eiger North face a little further east of there.

Then there was this one on Algonquin Peak Dec 30 last year. Gives a feel for what it can be like above treeline on a winter day.

Well, I haven't done nearly as much hiking this year as I'd like to, but here are a couple of shots.

This one is from the Koolau Ridge on Oahu.

I enjoyed this view from Cherry Mountain with Chomp, VSA, and JohnS back in June - the whole Presidential Range and Crawford Notch.

Here is one of my favorite. The register that morning had only one person signed in before me, I was following Pin Pin. These are the first recorded tracks of the elusive animal.

Another image shows the success of our efforts in the mountains. Here is my friend Carol celebrating her 46th!

This makes it all the more special. (l-r, Sherpa, me (Ed), Carol, and Lyle).

I have some nice shots from Peru, but since Ridgerunner already posted one, I'll post some from Bolivia.

This is me and my small friend Rebecca at Salar de Uyuni.

This is one of my favorite shots from the salt flats. Yup, flamingos and snow in the same picture. Isn't that wierd???

Since

most people post 2 pics, here is my second : a fairweather rainbow near Ausangate mountain. This is a rare occurence that is a good luck sign.

OK, here's a couple from me:

The Matterhorn, Zermatt

Heck you can even post pics on kayaking...not that I care but I am sucking up to Darren.

If I post some mountain biking shots too, does that make me a triple-suck-up?!

Great shots, everybody. I say we pool our collective talent and open VFFT Studios. We'll make a killing selling landscape shots!

I built this page to post my favorite photos for my parents to check out after each trip I've taken this year. Funny, they stopped looking at it after the photo of the underground nuclear missle silo...

Anyway, here's 2004 for me, but the year ain't over yet!

(I wouldn't have been able to narrow it down to less than 6 favorites anyway! )

I can't pretend to contend with some of the AMAZING shots I've seen on here, but here are my entries.

1) Bryce Canyon, Utah - it's another world out there.

2) Basin Ampitheater, Adirondacks - never been anywhere cooler

Thanks to all you guys for sharing.

OK - How the hell do I pick just a couple?

Well, I'll stop after three....

The White Forest

NVFTT (No View From The Top)

and I guess this was pretty special even if not the best of images.

I know I said I'd stop at three, but a quiet moment on a summit with friends is always special

Well, I haven't been to Peru or the Swiss Alps or even the White Mtns. lately, but here is a photo of a very nice mountain nearly in my backyard - a view of Tumbledown Mtn from Little Jackson Mtn taken a week or so ago.

Absolutely beautiful! I love the northeast in the fall...

All of these photos are great, thanks everyone!

Turnbill, Nice shot for being only close to home. No need to hit the Whites when you have that all around.

1. Exlore the East : your pics are awesome ! What camera do you use ?
2. TurnBill : ditto. Your themes are right on.
3. ADK4487 : Pin Pin tracks ? I think not ! No showshoes!
4. Global warming is changing the alpine environment so fast. Some pics really illustrate that very well.
5. I am heading to Tumbledown this w/e.
6. I want to climb Licancabur in Bolivia and see the pink flamingos.

 

[SherpaKroto]

Turnbill: I knew I wanted to climb Jackson, now I know I have to. Great shot!

view of Sugarloaf from Nash Stream road
nearing the summit of North Percy on the closed West Side trail
view from Overlook on Magalloway

Thanks RR, I alternate back and forth between my high-risk camera (higher probability that it might get destroyed by me falling on it, dropping it in water, running it over with my bike, etc.), a Powershot G3, and the lower-risk camera, a Powershot Pro1 (for most nice weather hiking trips).

The cameras help, but I prefer to think that I pick really beautiful places to visit.

What would be really cool is to make a VFTT photo book. We can put each members best shot into it, kind of like a high School year book but just pictures. Wonder how hard that would be and cost. That would be really cool if it was doable.

With bio's for each photographer, kind of like the avatars and info here? And proceeds to TBTS?

That would be very cool.

ps: this shot of Lake Louise would probably be my photo
