Reflective pause in Cirque de Troumouse, Pyrenees (just too grand to photograph)...
#FootpathFriday #LandscapePhotography #Photography

A small lake/pond in a high alpine landscape of only grasses and talus fields visible. The shallow water in the lake is very dark and reflecting some of the nearby mountain peaks of the surrounding 270 degree cirque. The framing of the image is such that only the reflection of the peaks and some of the clouds are visible.

Here's a photo that's a bit different from my usual style.
I took it with the tele lens on last weekend's hike. The inversion caused such a great sea of clouds with just some sole islands.
This kind of weather really offers such unique motives. And again: it was worth carrying the zoom lens up there :-D
Enjoy!

This image captures a serene and almost mystical scene of a mountain peak emerging from a sea of clouds. The landscape is shrouded in a thick layer of mist or fog, creating an ethereal and tranquil atmosphere. Only the top of the mountain and a few structures, possibly buildings or communication towers, are visible above the cloud cover.

The soft, muted colors and the smooth texture of the clouds give the scene a dreamy quality. The contrast between the solid structures and the fluid, cloudy b…

Barren but twisty stems come in from the lower left and progress towards the center -- the main background is bright white snow,  but a distant hedgerow cuts off the upper right with a straight line and a blurry mess of stems can be seem under that with a few white specks of snow caught mid-air.

On another unspecified social media, I joined a photography challenge called '52 flickers'. I'm supposed to take and post one photograph per week for the entirety of 2026. No archives, no backups, no spares, no descriptions - just a photo of any topic taken on a given week.
I typically shun this kind of challenges for millions of reasons, but since I take photos almost everyday, I decided to give it a shot. But to make it more interesting for myself, I decided not to use the most frequent categories of photos, i.e. reportage or stock.
Adding a thread here for backup purposes. Always tagging as [#]52flickers2026.

View a large rock tower behind another lower mountain peak near a pass with a small chapel (good for appreciating the scale). The mountain nearest to the pass has visible tunnel openings at its base above the talus fields. These are remnants of the frontline from world war I. Massive cumulus clouds are forming in the background, above them clear blue sky. The entire scene is bathed in warm late afternoon light of October. All the grass patches have turned into a rich coffee brown.

Looking through an arched window half an hour after sunrise the sun is just above the buildings, making a dramatic lens flare that bisects the frame horizontally at the bottom with a curved yellow line and multi-colored petals below. The sky is light blue with scattered white clouds. Pointed roofs of Harlem brownstones are silhouetted across the street, and a taller apartment building can be seen in the distance.

A serene winter wonderland unfolds in this tranquil forest scene. Tall evergreens, their branches heavy with freshly fallen snow, stretch upward into a soft, overcast sky. The snow clings delicately to each needle and branch, creating a lacy, almost magical effect.
