The Week In Pics!

More like two weeks this time as we check out the recent additions to the OM Gallery including shots from not one, but two OM member meets. For the latest in uploads, see the Latest Images page :-)

Kinlochleven Meet

A bunch of OMers meet some of the best mountain terrain in the UK with shots from Curved Ridge, Crowberry Tower and the legendary Aonach Eagach ridge in this open meet album. Looks like a cracking weekend. Check out Matt C's album as well.

Dales Looking Good

Further south, John Fitzpatrick can always be relied on for some gentle landscapes, this time he's been out in the Dales and around to produce a shot he's called 'Picture Perfect - hmmm, is there a pictorial echo here ;-) Check out the rest of his Weekend Walks album for some lovely images.

Scottish Wildlife

WE're used to astonishing pics of mountains and, erm, dogs, but Graeme R's taken things a stage further with an album featuring not just some lovely landscapes, but some beautiful images of British wildlife, like these red kites. More in his Graeme album.

Brecon Calling

The Brecon Beacons may not be the biggest hills in the UK, but on a good day, they have a feel all of their own and if you're lucky enough to catch a cloud inversion, you might see something like this from Imperial Dave's Beacons Magic album.

Bolivia!

A bit further afield, Dave Stone's been off to Bolivia, which brought back some editorial memories. So far there are just three images in the album, hopefully he'll come back and add a few more soon. This is Condoriri, a stunning cluster of mountains that forms part of the Cordillera Real not far from La Paz.

And Nepal...

Another OMer who's been off travelling is George Robertson. We were particularly taken with this atmospheric shot of Lhtose clearing in the aftermath of a storm.

Mont Blanc To Modane

Last but very definitely not least, back in Europe, Man on Stilts - not literally we hope - has been trekking from Mont Blanc to Modane using the GR5 and GR55 routes and taking the odd snap along the way. This is the Col de la Vanoise, but there's plenty more where that came from...

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.
