The Week In Pics

Last week's gallery round-up was rather a carbon-heavy world tour, so we're sticking to the UK and Europe this week to see the best of the Highlands, Alps and Pyrenees - along with a quick trip to the new EU state of, erm, Borneo.

Glen Coe

Despite the recent weather, Glen Coe looks positively tranquil here. It's joined by an influx of new photos in the Collection album, including an Alpine-looking Stob Ban ridge, a fantastic sunrise over Crib Goch, and other procrastination-worthy offerings from all over the UK.

Borneo

Weird and wonderful rock formations are this week's offering from the middle of the Pacific, in an aptly-named The Pinnacles, Borneo album.

Tryfan

Last month's OM photography competition winner Alan Bellis strikes again with this cracking pic of one of the most popular mountains in North Wales - Tryfan. You can find it in the Alan's Mountain travels 5 album along with a very fiery Bristly Ridge Sunset and the last two months' competition-winning pics.

Alpine Summers

Jon is just one of several OM members to make the most of the summer holidays by heading for the Alps, but it will be hard to compete with the Alpine pics in Jon's album. It's a cracking array of scenes from across the UK and the continent and well worth a (lengthy) browse.

Pyrenees

The Alps' more westerly cousins aren't going to be outdone in the photogenic stakes either - see the full evidence in the blast-from-the-past, but still brand new, Pyrenees 2004 album.

Scottish Snapshots

Here's an interesting new take on a team summit photo, uploaded to the Scottish Snapshots album. If you're feeling nostalgic for the winter - that's a real snowy winter we're talking about - you'll be pleased to know there are plenty of snowy scenes from the Cairngorms here too, and also a man and two dogs in a canoe, for fans of river touring.

Scottish Panoramas

Finally, Mark Riddington's in panorama-mode this week, with a glut of sprawling landscapes landing in his Scotland 2007 album. Well worth a quick peep.
