side topic but it 'd be interesting to see AI landscapes messing things around

Beautiful!!

Love the colors, it's like a movie poster.

Val Ferret to Grand col Ferret can be a really good day hike https://www.alltrails.com/explore/trail/italy/piedmont/col-ferret?mobileMap=false&ref=sidebar-static-map

Thanks for sharing. That refuge looks phenomenal.

Photographing the aurora has been a much bigger challenge than I'd originally thought. Everything from knowing (guessing) when it'll happen, finding a location, capture, and processing has turned out to be tricky.
This is the fifth time I've been to this location so far this year, each time the signs for aurora were looking good, only for the magnetic field to collapse, or solar wind to fizzle out, but the good news is that I've found the best place to set up and have level ground for my chair. For this night we were treated to these beams around 10:30 and another show after I packed up (as I had a two hour ride home again).
I wasn't able to see these beams with the naked eye (though others said they did) because I'm extremely colourblind, so it wasn't until I got home and checked through the images that I knew what I'd captured. As I couldn't be sure when the aurora would fire up I had a timelapse running from about 10pm through to 12:30, as I couldn't use the tracking mount I had to use 10" shutter speeds which makes for very noisy images.
Normally for processing astro images I would stack about 10 images for the sky and foreground separately to reduce the noise, but the aurora was changing and shifting so fast that it's completely different in each frame and stacking doesn't work.

It's a rather small area overall, as far as mountains go. But that also means there are a lot of beautiful views within a a few minutes of each other.

Wow. Thanks for sharing such an awesome pic!

I'm sorry. I do my best to practice self restraint when I see things like this on this sub. But I can't hold back for this one. This is objectively boring and completely devoid of any unique or interesting feature. I could find something like this in my neighborhood park. All this post has done is convince me to never go to this place.

I’m not agreeing w him, but he literally did say ‘illegal US immigrants’. I think perhaps he was implying that ppl from the US would come to Canada for its beauty.

Laura Ingalls Wilder who wrote the Little House on the Prairie book series based on her life experiences, writes about the Kansas plains in the most descriptive way I’ve ever read. The endlessness of the grass, the flatness, the way it messes with your eyes and your mind. Super interesting!

Driving along this stretch of the blue ridge parkway on a clear day is magnificent. I would recommend it to anyone in the area. Also, you can stop in Asheville for a good beer and meal.

Wow, and to think, Mt. Everest is taller! 😳😱

One day I will get lost here and you can come looking for me. :)

Vatch out for ze aligaytas!

How was it generally? Is it really tall cliffs and beautiful scenery as far as the eye can see or are those more just a few cherry picked spots with the rest being not that spectacular? I‘m thinking about going there as well

They don't look really blue..

The hike is steep but it's not terrible in normal conditions. Unfortunately I did it with a fucked up knee, so between that and carrying 60lbs up there was a good amount of pain and suffering involved haha. But otherwise would have been fine.

And yeah his main driver of business was all the natural resource operations up there and a lot of them shut down, and he was unable to sustain the heli on just park/sightseeing stuff.

Yep.
