That is a really striking and unique city skyline photo, Andy. Well done!

After a long day in the saddle going up and down mountain Cols
Well in the car seat anyway .... still up and down .... for lots of time in a day ....
All you really want to do, is get back to the complex and unwind by the bar and pool have a little swim and chill out ...
The pool is always so crowded, but in great surroundings, with views of the French Alps whichever way you look !!
The nearest I have experienced to this was in the Canadian Rockies in a place called Revelstoke .....
But no bikes there !!
So here is a pano .... (yes, another one)
D810 + 25-50mm f4

Hey Steve, my wife and I stayed overnight in Revelstoke after we crossed from Alberta into BC. Along with the gorgeous mountain scenery, they also have a very nice authentic Japanese restaurant there with an extremely friendly atmosphere (which I suspect reflects the friendliness of the town).
Thanks to all who have "Liked" my previous image posts; you are very kind. Here is my final set of mountain vistas, again from the top of Sulfur Mountain to show more detail of the valley area (I have lots more mountain photos that I haven't yet processed, but so as not to saturate you all with such images, I'll wait a while before posting any more). The first photo shows Banff again, but bigger this time.

Andy, I love the "Boab" so like our ancient Baobabs. Many plant species are similar testifying to the existence of ancient Gondwanaland. All we nee now is to find a Gondwana!
Thanks for all the likes and comments on my last photo. Here is one more photo from that set. This is a two image photo where I did one long exposure for the water and second one for the rest and manually blended them.
This way, I get sharp foregrounds and backgrounds while water remains silky and smooth. I did this to avoid the shaky leaves and other artifacts that I didnt like on the long exposure one. Tallulah Falls by Ramkumar Sangameshwar, on Flickr
Hey Glen, thanks for the reminder about dining in Revelstoke .... nice little town !!
They had a car show on the airfield the Sunday I was there .... interesting ....
We travelled up the Ice Highway to Jasper and back to Calgary for a flight home, and saw all the places you have posted pix of .... my favourite place has to be Morraine Lake, missed by so many who go to Lake Louise!!
Peter (Oosty) great reminders of the Aiguilles and the time I climbed up them so many years ago .... (40+) such a beautiful part of the globe.
Back to the French Alps from my latest trip.
Up in the mountains the meadows are so pretty, and full of flowers
I’ve got a couple of weeks of catching up to do on this thread. Nor have I been doing much photography of my own. Here are 3 flower shots with the 55/2.8 Micro at f/5.6, f/8, and f/8 respectively; and another troll’s-eye view with the 16/3.5 at f/11. All with Df.

Unfortunately, when my wife and I were there, the Ice Highway was closed due to--you guessed it--ice and snow from a "controlled avalanche" that went out of control!
(Note: In my curiosity about this matter of "controlled avalanches," I asked the internet about it and found out that totally uncontrollable avalanches are prevented by shooting artillery shells into the appropriate areas of the mountains to trigger smaller avalanches than those that would otherwise occur.)
Although I have finished for now with mountain vistas, I do have a few mountain close-ups (i.e. what one photographer calls the "intimate landscape") to post. The images below show some rocky places I found photogenic.
