Exceptional mountain landscapes Alan, all are well-captured in composition, color, and light. My favorites are the Mt. Rainier, the Grinnel Glacier Trail, and Grand Tetons images—very, very nice! Thank you for sharing all of these images.

Wow! Yes, you do mountains, Jameel! The Mt.Rainier with the lenticular cloud canopy—with reflection, is exceptional and my favorite. The Mt. St. Helens with Milky Way is gorgeous as well—love it! The Lake O’Hara image is doubly beautiful—love the reflection! Thank you for sharing these images Jameel.

Multiple images of just one mountain, Suilven in NW Scotland. At just under 2,400ft it barely counts as a mountain but it makes up in beauty what it lacks in height. It is a challenging climb with a rough, boggy and far from flat 8 mile treck in, up and down the hill and then 8 miles back it is now well beyond my capabilities. Ken

Great idea Ken, shooting the subject from different times and vantage points. It’s difficult to choose a favorite from such splendid landscapes, perhaps your first and third captures are mine. Thank you for sharing.
