The summit of Mt Mitchell in North Carolina, seen from Mt Craig. Clouds float in a blue sky, grazing the high elevation conifer forests with yellows and oranges mixed in as the deciduous trees begin to lose their leaves.
The highest peak in the east, looking nice with a little fall color mixing in among the spruce and fir.

Gospel Pass this weekend. 1st time. Just superb; stunning scenery. Clockwise from Hay on Wye, going from south to north up to the pass at 549 metres. ~60km & 1000 metres climbing. Descent down into Hay is great - fantastic views and decent road surface.

Mama horse and foal, at sunset in the Black Mountains. An eerie orange light makes the scene look timeless, but in the far distance wind turbines stand like sentinels.
Beltane greetings to all. My son sent me this photo of mama and foal at sunset in the Black Mountains. They came to say hello to him as we were talking on the phone. #Wales #BlackMountains #Beltane
What a beautiful place we live in, views from The #Sugarloaf to #Penyfan via the #BlackMountains and #LlangorseLake on a sunny Sunday afternoon with the mountain ponies looking on

Lovely 4 mile walk up & around Llyn Y Fan Fach on a lovely winter's day. Beautiful scenery but spoilt by the amount of filled dog poo bags abandoned & littering the route. Stopped counting when I reached 30! Pick up your shite #Llynyfanfach #CarmarthenFans #BlackMountains #dogpoo #KeepWalesTidy

John Macnamara won a country estate in a 1700s card game nr Cwmdu.
The bet stated he would keep the estate until he was buried .
After a drunken coach accident, his wife had him interred in a tomb above ground to avoid returning the estate.
