The Month In Pics

Tasmanian ridges, Utan canyons, and, erm, caterpillars with horns, all star in this week's gallery round-up. And yes, we are feeling OK:-)

Torridon Hills

The Torridon Hills are often overlooked in favour of their higher northern neighbours, but this photo is a sure reminder that they're well worth a visit. Steve Walton's Images are all equally impressive, so it's worth browsing his panorama-tastic album.

The Back Doorstep

Andrew Terrill delights in reminding us how short a journey takes him to scenes like these - a full fifteen minutes on this occasion. I'm sure OM's London contingent is very happy for him:-)

If you have any action running shots, Andrew's Running - the Album is open to everyone, so add your pic to the pile.

Sunrise

... and a stunning one it is too. More in one of the site's newest albums, Alan's Mountain Travels.

Sharp Edge

Marcus Crompton is one of the site's most avid massive photographers so his Latest Pictures album is rather a bumper one. This time around, the question is: just how sharp is Sharp Edge?!

Who Needs DIY?

If anyone's stuck for ways of Dodging DIY, one OMer's got it down to a fine art. This week it's a misty Forcan Ridge that defeats the demands of the toolbox...

Across the Big Pond

Bryce Canyon is a lesser known neighbour of the Grand Canyon but it's no less photogenic. We've been on an orgy of Utan/Arazonan scenery recently, so there's plenty more where this came from.

Arran Sunset

George Monaghan's Arran album is smaller and more select, which is no bad thing, as we're in no hurry to look away from this pic.

Postcards from Oz

New Zealand always draws the OM crowds but we don't see photos from Tasmania so often - the Cradle Mountain album came as a pleasant surprise. It's always good to add another destination to the OM world tour.

Never mind the midges ...

Anthony Angus has found another Scottish bug to worry about. In his own words it's "a rare wee beastie, mostly native to highland distilleries". He also assures us that there was absolutely no use of Photoshop involved. We believe you Anthony - others wouldn't though:-)

You can see lots more Highland Scenes of a more serious nature in his album.

That's all for now. Upload your photos here - we love looking through them - and if you want some inspiration for places to take your camera, try the routes section of the site. Also, the new, the wonderful, and the downright weird, from the world of outdoor gear, is always up for comment in our gear reviews. Or you could just while away the afternoon chatting in the forum ...
