The Mountaineers

Why do you climb mountains?
It's one often answered by "if you have to ask the question, you might not understand the answer".
People who know it found the answer themselves.
One of the reasons we go outdoors and find adventure high in the mountains is to look for gifts that come about only in those places.
I was on the slope of mt. Rainier several times is witnessing majestic cold beauty of glacier and rocks.

Let me introduce myself

Winter solitude

It was evening of the long skiing day. Snow was falling almost whole day. Only few skiers ventured to test ski trail that day. Nevertheless I enjoyed this solitude and magical scenery around. The highlight of the day was sunset when sun managed to get through a rare clearing in the sky. It has added a pink pastel accent to a white cold forest.
 

Foggy morning

This scene from picture that was posted on DPW by Carol Marine reminds me my early memories from my home country, when I was visiting summer home. Fresh foggy morning… warm summer in countryside… worry-free life…

While visiting my home town of Vitebsk in Belarus, I was walking along the promenade, enjoying winter scenery with Russian Cathedrals in background.
