One of the things I like best about hiking in the mountains is the chance to see the sky from a different angle. Sometimes clouds will be all around, sometimes you'll be in a cloud, and sometimes you'll see clouds below you.
The photos selected below give a sense of these possibilities.
Photos above taken during hikes on Mount Katahdin, ME, the southern Presidential Range, NH, the Franconia Range, NH, Denali Park, AK, Mt Monadnock, NH, and Mt Washington, NH.
The thing about living in New England is, you scarcely bother to photograph the leaves in the fall. I mean, they'll be there again next year. But for those of you living someplace without proper seasons, here's a taste of the show you're missing every year.
Photos above taken during two trips to Baxter State Park, ME, in 2003 and in 2005.
Flowers are not really my specialty, and I'm not just saying this because I'm male. Still, once in a long while I'll see a blossom that I just have to shoot.
I sort of cheated for the two photos above: they were taken in a greenhouse in Montreal.
I don't get to see glaciers often, and it won't be many years before most of them have melted away, so these photos are ones I prize.
Taken during a trip to Denali Park.
Photographers go a little crazy around reflections in water. A good photo of a lake or pond is hard to resist when the light is right.
Photos above taken at Lake Millinocket,Baxter State Park, ME, on Mt Greylock, MA, and at a pond in Boston.
This is the reason I started taking photographs in the first place, so I've got more photographs of mountains than I could possibly include here. What can I say? Get up on top of a mountain under your own power, and you'll understand why the views are precious.

Try searching for a mountain by name in the place name index.
Many of the above were taken in the Presidential Range, NH, others in the Pemigewasset Wilderness, NH, some in Denali National Park, AK and some in Baxter State Park, ME, among other places.
When it comes to expressing the promise of a journey, a picture of a trail is worth a thousand words.
A promising trail can start anwhere; these are from Mt Lafayette, Mt Madison, the Carter Range, Mt Moosilauke, the Pemigewasset Wilderness, and the Baldface Range.
Trees are one of my favorite things about New England. Or rather, forests are. But getting an interesting photograph of a tree in a forest isn't as easy as you'd think. Here are some that I like.

Photos above are from Mt Zealand, Mt Madison, the Delaware Water Gap, and Mt Washington.
Who can resist the soothing power of flowing water? I try to mix it up a little by also photographing waterfalls when they're frozen.
Selections above show waterfalls on the slopes of Mt Adams, Mt Katahdin, Mt Chocurua, Mt Zealand,Mt Avalon, and Mt Washington.
Those National Geographic specials make it look easy to get close-ups of animals that would rather not be seen. It ain't.
This photo was a lucky shot while climbing Mt Washington.
I hated living in florida; not only do I love to ski and snowboard, but I love the infinite variety of shapes formed by snow and ice itself. Winter is one of my favorite times to hike - no insects, no crowds. Hiking in winter can also be a lot more challenging, which is part of the appeal.
Photos above were taken on Mt Lafayette (in 2006 and in 2004), Mt Carrigain, Mt Monadnock (in 2005 and in 2006), the Twin Range, North Baldface, and Mt Washington.
