So, so many amazing pictures in beautiful places in the world.

 

This one (on the way to Ironstone Ridge Viewpoint) is the most recent picture that stands out:

A Geocaching Australia Locationless cache GA 1278 - Wind Power. The photo is of a wind farm overlooking Lake George near Canberra on a misty day.

 

[+Tuena 7]

Another Geocaching Australia Locationless cache GA1438 - Sunrise. I took this photo from 7 Mile Beach south of Shoalhaven Heads. I was walking to a Geocaching Australia traditional cache I'd hidden on Comerong Island, a return distance of 12 kilometres. The cache is now listed with Groundspeak as Comerong GC3Q5H9.

Allendale Lake Algonquin Bluffs: even on a gloomy, misty morning there is beauty to be found.

 

 

Devil's Gap: taken on a hike through the first snowfall of the season.

 

 

Brass Cap Cache: foul weather looked to be moving in from the west, but it never actually amounted to anything other than a dramatic backdrop.

 

 

Cox Hill - A Cache for Susan: a well placed red pine on one of the final pushes up Cox Hill.

Caching on Morro Bay in California. Stranded. Dirtbag Dunes. Who Let the Shark In.

 

The morning had an ethereal quality to it.

DNFed the cache but at least I got a good picture!

Great shot. And on a 5/5 FTF to boot!

I took this about a year ago with my iPhone doing MINER'S LAKE EARTH CACHE (GC1TR39) in Ely, MN. The sun had just come up over the hills on the shore, the snow was sparkling like diamonds.

The pristine snow and ice showed where a lone deer had crossed the lake. The little white spot bugs me, I guess I should figure out how to use a photo editor. (edit to fix link to cache)

A quick clone retouch later and...

Yes, that is much better, thank you van der Decken!

GET OUT...and enjoy the outdoors #3 - The Point: There were whitecaps on Lower Kananaskis Lake this day, but on the Upper Lake, there wasn't a breath of wind.

Amazing "water mirror"!

LOVE this thread! I hope to share some of my photos soon. I'm a hiker and photographer first and then became interested in geocaching when I found out about it and I love how it takes me to places I wouldn't have otherwise known about.

(Unedited) Favorite Panoramic View from: Columbia village ridge trail # 2

 

[+blindleader 1]

On a normal day,the hang gliders would land a couple minutes later 1,600 feet below, next to the road between Tiger and Squak Mtns.

 

Stepping off.

But when just the right wind funnels up between Tiger and Squak...

On their way.

they can fly north along the Cascades till the sun goes down.

 

I just wonder if they have an informal agreement with SeaTac tower. I sort of doubt they carry Mode C transponders or radios for talking to ATC. Those specs, just a few of many that day, passed through KSEA Class B airspace if they got above 5,000 feet.

From GC5KCMB - "The Goat House" on Lord Howe Island:

The chockstone at McGillivary Canyon Chockstone Challenge. When it came into view, it just took our breath away. And we weren't even planning on coming here today.

We set up camp at a Harris Beach in a Oregon and then went for a panoramic view  at Alien Artifax before a storm came through.  There was something unworldly about what we saw . . .  just a matter of timing.

Wow after seing all these pictures I feel like I need to go out and search for more caches and great views like that. They are all stunning pictures! Thanks for sharing them.

[RuideAlmeida 336]

Just a little reminder... always try to provide a link to the nearby cache, please.

Heh.  Brings back recent memories.  As well as old memories, since the Maryland WRC challenge is up in that area too.  Nothing like letting 8-9 years go by between visits to an area to see what one remembers and what one doesn't.

 

Nice photos all.

Trying to find that d*** cache underneath the fall foliage was arguably the hardest part of completing the Maryland Counties Challenge...

On my jet-lag day in Seoul, I attended a geo-event at 2:30pm, then headed up the adjacent mountain for "a few caches".  I got carried away, and proceeded right to the top, stopped only by a fence around a villain fortress on the summit.  Found a fantastic multi, MISSION GEOCACHING, nearby, then got down the mountain on the double.  No time for any other caches (I tried a bit, but had to run), and made it down by headlamp.

 

A sunbolt came through, and I snapped this about halfway down:

(That's the new Lotte World Tower, 5th highest in the world at 123 stories.)

 

Sometimes you wish there were Platinum Favorite Points.

We were in the Mojave to visit the Cow Cove petroglyphs, and found ourselves close enough to detour to D is for Desert Phone Booth.  We followed a sandy/rocky road seemingly in the middle of nowhere, to track down the legendary site.  On the way back, the sun was setting and the desert sky became alive with color.

A View From Below brought us to the Edmund Pettus Bridge in Selma where John Lewis and other marchers faced a line of officers as they set out to walk from Montgomery - redefining courage and changing a nation.

 

 

 

We came to the area to see the bridge, to remember and rededicate ourselves, following the civil rights trail to Montgomery.   This cache was an important part of our visit.

This honeycombed wind-eroded cave in the cliff-face in Brisbane Water National Park was going to be GZ for a new cache I'm working on but it looks like my application to the National Parks and Wildlife service is likely to be rejected as the area hasn't been geologically assessed for the potential of rock falls.

 

[+Viajero Perdido 487]

This one sums up Hong Kong caching so perfectly.

 

 

Hong Kong has literally hundreds of caches like this, and that pretty much explains why I now go back there annually.  Last time, I convinced a couple of buds to join me: an avid cacher (look closely), and an occasional one who's happy to go along for the walks. 

[+barefootjeff 1800]

The view over Broken Bay from one of the reference points on GC8DQXK. I'd originally visited this spot in 2015 with an eye to putting a cache there but being in the national park with nearby Aboriginal sites prevented that.
