Post your 2019 Landscapes

Here's another view from my hike on Saturday. It's the view of Beinn Eighe in the Torridon Hills (Scotland) from the east top of Liathach. You can see there is a lot of scree on Beinn Eighe.

I found it. Thanks.

I've deleted the original post.

A few weeks ago I was up at Olympic National park, and stopped up at Hurricane ridge to do some photography. I made a panorama of that ridge, but I'm not too sure if it's a good photo or not. Thoughts?

Thanks, Richard. I'll post some more later. Yes, we do have scree slopes here (which I hate) but this hill at the east end (where this was taken) there is no scree. It's very steep and the path is quite rocky so can be slippery when wet. The lower part of the path has been built up and is a bit like stairs alternating with good path. However, the higher you get the rockier, rougher and more varied it gets and some easy scrambling is involved. The man-made built path doesn't go beyond about 350m altitude.

Thanks Annie. Re tracks. We had a Scottish stone track maker do a lot of work on our highland tracks several years ago.
I've walked some and they're magnificent and beautiful. Real craftsmanship.

Beautiful scenery indeed.
Very nice

We had a very prominent photographer who came from Scotland and loved our wilderness. I can see he had much to value from his homeland.

John Watt Beattie was an Australian photographer. Beattie was born in Aberdeen, Scotland. He was elected as a fellow of the Royal Society of Tasmania in 1890. He was appointed Photographer to the Government of Tasmania on 21 December 1896.

If you ever want to get up close and personal with some scree, come out to Colorado, the place is lousy with it Pretty annoying stuff.

Most people don't like scree very much, but some young, very fit people 'scree surf' and descend steep scree in a semi-uncontrolled, very fast run. Not for my old bones though!

Have you ever tried scree-running? As long as the stones are not too course (smaller than a fist) or too fine, one can descend very quickly but safely. It is exhilarating if it follows a long and arduous uphill climb. I leaned it firsty in Snowdonia as a teenager. My moist memorable scree-run was the descent from the west flank of Bloodstone Hill on the Isle of Rhum. I did not find any bloodstone though

From my trip to Mount Rainier, found a small patch of wild flowers that had not dried up just yet.

Yes, I have been know to do it - you are correct, it is a fast way down. Too old now though!
