Some of my Mountain pictures

[AlteWolf]

I thought I would post up some of my own mountain pics taken at home and abroad. From I was a kid I always loved looking at them ... then when I was old enough I started climbing them. Well here are some of the pics I have taken down the years.

They will be in no particular order, hope you like them

The first one was taken at the top of Ben Alligin North West Scotland, in February 1986

The next one was taken on top of the Cuillin Ridge on the Scottish Island of Skye a few days later.

Well thats a start, I'll add a few more as I get the time.

This is a great walk with superb views all around the mountains of North Wales.

This one was taken by a friend using black and white film, it is in Glen Brittle in the Cuillins.

I took this photo using 35mm slide film in winter from the top of Benn Eighe in the late 80s. It looks out to the west towards Liathach and the North Atlantic.

It is a fine winter scramble along the ridge

Took this one in 1989 it shows the view near the top of the Jungfrau in the Bernese Oberland Switzerland.

Awesome pics, brother! Thank you for sharing them wiff us!


Have you heard of the mountains on the West coast of Norway, Sunnmørsalpene (= the Sunnmøre Alps)? They are great. Here's a website:
http://www.sunnmorealps.com/ it is only in Norwegian, unfortunately, but if you click on bilder (which means pictures), you can see a list of pics to click on. I live near these mountains. The view is awesome. Hope you'll enjoy the pics!

I also found one with an article in English for you http://www.sunalp.no/ Just click on the little Union Jack on that webpage. That page has an awesome bildearkiv (picture gallery).

Hi NorwayUnn,

You're right the pictures are fantastic, i liked the one of 'Patchellhytta'

The other site is amazing also ... some awesome shots. I liked this one

Reminds me of when I was involved in the Mountain Resue Team.

Thanks for sharing Sis

Ok now you two have just gotten too extreme for me! After watching "Vertical Limit" I just cannot take pictures such as "ice climbing" without my heart stopping,LOL!

Its OK soblessed53 as I have gotten older I prefer to take my time in the Mountains. I like to sit down often and enjoy the view or a chat with my friends. We have an old saying here, that 'youth is wasted on the young'

I was fortunate to survive mine by the grace of God

A favourite climber of mine is a guy called Reinhold Messner he comes off with some good old sayings. Here's one which I think you will appreciate

"There are OLD climbers and there are BOLD climbers BUT
there are no OLD BOLD climbers

Thats me now

This one looks back over the Zugspitze ridge towards Garmisch Partenkirchen

From the top of the Mountain this lake is impossibly blue

Our Creator certainly can do all things well

My dear beloved sister soblessed, here's a hike you would have loved, I think. If you come to Norway, we could hike to the top of this hill, which is close to my home. Don't even need a car to get to the foot of the hill, as it is within walking distance from my home. The top of the hill is abt. 1500 feet high, that's not much though, compared to the mountains around here. I once sent you pics from a hike up there. Here's a nice pic of the top of the hill, where they have drawn the paths in white for you to see. I found it on the internet. The pic shows only a little part of the hill. You can walk for hours up there. Wouldn't it be something to take a Sunday hike up there, sis?

You have some real awesome pics, wolfe man. Very breathtaking! Aaah!

Oh yes,I think I could enjoy that height,but I'm not sure.I love mountains but from the foothills. These are all awesome pictures,and I don't even want to know how our brother's shots were taken LOL! Really I never had a movie effect me and scare me as much as "Vertical Limit", but it sure has.I can look at the mountains as long as there are no shots of climbers ON THE MOUNTAIN!

The first one is taken on top of Slieve Bearnagh in the Mournes

This one I cannot claim credit for but I thought it was very beautiful. It is Buchaille Etive Mor at the entrance to Glencoe one of my favourite parts of Scotland.

 

[NorwayUnn]

Thanks for sharing more of your awesome pics with us, brother Alte Wolf! More pics, please!

 

[soblessed53]

Wow, AlteWolf have you taken these pics yourself? you must be a professional photographer. Very,very fortunate to be able to travel all over also. Your photos are wonderful. Thank You And Norway unn for sharing God's awesome creation.

 

[AlteWolf]

I have taken them myself but all credit to ma poor wee camera! except the one of Buchaille Etive Mor in Glencoe previous. I just wanted to include it because it looks so beautiful

Here are a couple more for you, I took this one earlier during the summer from the top of the Kehlstein in Southern Bavaria. It looks across over the tranquil Konigsee a crystal clear lake surrounded by steep mountains. Hope you like

This is a beautiful wee blue flower on the top of the Kehlstein, not sure what it is but I thought it was beautiful. Isn't God good

This is the little village of Heiligenblut high in the Austrian Mountains again I took it this summer.

This last one for now shows the Grimsel Pass in Switzerland descending the mountain and rising again up the Furkha Pass.

Hope you enjoyed the views sisters and brothers

Nice pics - I've done quite a few of the munros, but only in spring and summer. Winter walking with crampons and an ice axe is something I'd like to do eventually though.

I did have a nice winter walk earlier in the year though near Strathyre - the hill was only 500m or so high and the snow was soft, but the views were nice. Here is one of the pics I got,
