We went hiking in Corbett Glen Park in the Rochester, NY area. There's a small falls and a big tunnel under a railroad track that was very nice.

Luchsfütterung an der #Rabenklippe im #Harz
Unbearbeitet, mal schnell von der Kamera exportiert. Es hat sich hoffentlich gelohnt Vollformat Kamera und Teleobjektiv knapp 300 Höhenmeter nach oben zu schleppen.

We had a nice hike along Hemlock Lake (one of the #FingerLakes) this afternoon. Gorgeous day.

I was feeling well enough to do this hike but I definitely wasn't 100%. Glad we decided to take it easier than we originally planned.

#ThrowbackThursday #TBT A year ago today, we walked up #YrWyddfa! It was a marvellous experience. We went up the #PygTrack in thick #fog, and walked down the #MinersTrack in the evening sun.

Remember the hike I did a couple of months ago where it rained on me and I was cold and wet and tired and miserable? Well, near the summit, there was this very cool cairn and I courageously stopped (while getting soaked and shivering and cursing in my head) to take a quick pic of it with my phone. No, no... No applause. I did my pixelfed duty. 🤣
⚠️ Editing to add that I did not (and never do) participate in cairn building because it's not an ecologically sound practice. Around here it's also possible that you could be interfering with actual landmarks that have been preserved for thousands of years.

I want you all to know that I absolutely soaked my feet like a total nincompoop stepping a tad too close to this adorable little tarn to bring you this #MountainMonday. Enjoy! ✨

I can't believe that the Canadian government shut down the weather radio service. How is anyone supposed to get weather updates outside of a city now? This was an essential service and they just turned it off and told people to use an app, when there is no public telecom operator, and the vast majority of the country doesn't have internet cell service. Absolutely ridiculous. Radios were perfect for this use case. Now you need a sat phone subscription??
